DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a shower bag for bathing a patient on a bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various shower bags have been devised by Masuno. This shower bag is designed for the purpose of easily allowing a bedridden patient or the elderly to take a shower on a bed or performing defecation treatment.
It is a sleeping bag-shaped vinyl bag that completely wraps the lower part of the patient's neck, and slits are provided in various parts of the bag. The shower bag is used by inflating it into a balloon with warm air. A caregiver inserts a hand into the inside of the bag through a slit and operates a shower nozzle provided in the internal space to shower-wash the patient's body.

[0003]

In the conventional shower bag, no special consideration has been given to the exhaust of the warm air sent into the bag. The hot air leaks out of the slit or the neck of the patient to maintain the shape of the bag inflated constantly.
If there is an odor inside the bag, the odor leaks into the room from the slit or the neck. If the odor leaks from the neck, it is unpleasant because the odor is absorbed by the patient or caregiver.

[0004]

The shower bag of the present invention comprises:
First, a sleeping bag-shaped shower bag that wraps a lower part of a shower bather's neck, having a blowing port for blowing warm air into the bag, and having an exhaust pipe for exhausting the warm air, and the exhaust pipe. Second, in addition to the first feature, the shower bag wraps the abdomen and the entire lower body than the abdomen.
In addition to the first and second features, the deodorizing function is provided by inserting the exhaust pipe outlet into a liquid in a drain tank that stores drainage discharged from the shower bag. In addition to the first and second features, the drainage pipe also serves as a caregiver arm insertion opening, and the insertion opening has the deodorizing function. Fifth, in addition to the first, second, or third features, Sixth, in addition to the first feature, the exhaust pipe is provided with a pressure regulating valve, and the shower bag is provided with a belt for squeezing or loosening the periphery of the shower bag corresponding to the abdomen of the patient accommodated inside the shower bag. Is characterized in that a part of the bulge is larger than another part.

[0005]

The shower bag according to the present invention comprises a sleeping bag-shaped shower bag that wraps around the lower part of the shower bather, having a blow-in port for blowing hot air into the bag, and an exhaust pipe for exhausting the hot air. And when the exhaust pipe has the first feature of having a deodorizing function, inflating the shower bag to a constant volume and shape by warm air blown from the blowing port, the constant volume and An exhaust pipe is provided for exhausting a larger amount of hot air than maintaining the shape. The exhaust pipe is provided with a deodorizing function in which a wire mesh container is filled with activated carbon and / or silica gel to remove odor components and / or moisture in the exhaust gas. Even if the humidity itself does not have an odor, it can be said to be a deodorizing effect if it is removed in the sense that the room is filled with the moisture and becomes a musty room. In addition to the first feature, when the shower bag has the second feature of wrapping the whole lower body than the abdomen and the abdomen, only the lower body part is covered with the shower bag when performing the excretion act such as urination or defecation. Thereby, the location where the odor is generated can be locally covered. Since the shower bag is provided with the exhaust pipe having the deodorizing function as described above, the odor is eliminated in the exhaust pipe. When only the lower body is covered, the shower bag becomes smaller and easier to handle. Since the upper body is outside the shower bag, there is no concern that the waste will be dirty or smelled. It is also possible to wear clothing. When the caregiver treats the discharged material after the discharging operation, deodorization can be performed during the period from the discharge to the treatment, and the surroundings can be prevented from being contaminated with the discharged material during the treatment. A case in which the deodorizing function is provided by inserting the exhaust pipe outlet into a liquid in a drain tank that stores drainage discharged from the shower bag in addition to the first and second characteristics. In such a case, the odor components are dissolved in the liquid stored in the drainage tank without special preparation of a deodorant such as activated carbon or silica gel. The odor-dissolved liquid is then drained to a drain. In addition to the first and second features, in the case where the drainage pipe also serves as a caregiver arm insertion port and the insertion port has the fourth feature having the deodorizing function, in order to care for a patient, Exhaust is performed through the provided caregiver arm insertion port. In order to perform deodorization at the time of this exhaust, the insertion port has a deodorizing function. In the case where the exhaust pipe has a fifth characteristic in which a pressure regulating valve is provided in addition to the first, second or third characteristic, the adjustment is performed so as to keep the volume, shape and internal pressure of the shower bag constant. The valve operates. In addition to the first feature, there is provided a sixth feature of providing a belt for squeezing or loosening the circumference of the shower bag corresponding to the abdomen of the patient that fits inside the shower bag, thereby making a part of the shower bag more inflated than other parts. In this case, when the belt is squeezed up with the belt, a trouser belt is formed just from the outside of the bag at the abdomen of the patient, so that ventilation is poor at this belt portion. When the warm air blown into the shower bag is from the foot of the patient, the shower bag on the lower body side from the belt swells and the upper body side becomes a deflated shower bag. Conversely, if the mouth is on the upper body side, the upper body side swells.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. 1 shows a state in which the lower part of the neck of a bedridden elderly patient 101 lying on a bed 100 is completely wrapped in a shower bag 1. This shower bag is used when a patient undresses in a cold winter room. The hot air generated by the hot air generator 2 is blown into the shower bag through the hot air hose 3. The patient can undress safely without worrying about the cold in the bag blown with warm air. The air filled in the shower bag is exhausted to an exhaust port 5 through an exhaust hose 4. A deodorizing filter 6 filled with activated carbon is disposed in the middle of the exhaust hose. The air filled in the shower bag passes through the deodorizing filter, becomes odorless, and is sent to the exhaust port. In the case of a bedridden elderly patient, it is difficult to take a bath frequently, so that odor may be generated from night sweats. In the shower bag of the present invention, the lower part of the patient's neck is completely wrapped so that the odor is prevented from spreading unnecessarily.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. This is an example in which a warm air generator 2, a warm air hose 3, an exhaust hose 4, and a deodorizing filter 6 are provided in a shower bag 1 'enclosing the lower body of a patient 101. An arm insertion slit 7 is provided in the shower bag. This slit is used by a caregiver to insert his arm to clear the patient's waste. The shower bag covers only the lower body, so that dirt spreads only to the lower body of the patient, and the upper body does not become dirty. The small space covered by the shower bag also keeps odors in a small area. This shower bag is inflated by warm air.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. A shower bag similar to that of FIG.
Is that the exhaust port 5 is inserted into the liquid stored in the drain tank 10. The gas that has passed through the exhaust hose becomes an odorless gas by dissolving odor components in the liquid, and is discharged from the drainage tank. The shower bag 1 includes a warm water generator 8 and a warm air hose 3, a warm water tank 8, and a warm water hose 9 for pumping up the warm water and jetting the warm water to the patient 101.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. It is an example similar to the shower bag for the lower body shown in FIG.
Describe the differences. The shower bag 1 "is not provided with a special exhaust hose, but is provided with a deodorizing filter 6 'in the arm insertion slit 7'. The hot air generated by the hot air generator 2 is heated by the hot air hose 3 into the shower bag. The gas discharged from the bag mainly passes through the slit, so a deodorizing filter 6 'is attached to the slit. The gas from which the odor component has been removed by the deodorizing filter is supplied to the room. It doesn't smell because it is released to.

FIG. 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention. A pressure regulating valve 11 is attached to the exhaust hose 4. This pressure regulating valve regulates the degree of expansion of the shower bag. The degree of inflation can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of exhaust air from the bag with respect to the warm air sent at a constant air volume. This regulating valve also serves to ensure a gas flow rate suitable for the deodorizing filter.

FIG. 6 shows a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, the shower bag 1 is divided at the abdomen by the belt 12. The warm air blown from the warm air hose 3 inflates the shower bag surrounding the lower body of the patient. On the other hand, since the warm air does not reach the upper body, the shower bag is in a deflated state. This shower bag is usually used for shower bathing by loosening the belt and inflating the entire bag as shown in Fig. 1, but in the case of exchanging sashes, it prevents odor from spreading and contaminants adhere to the surroundings. Only work on the lower body to prevent doing so. In this case, only the lower body part is inflated as shown in FIG. 1 and 6 are possible with one bag, so that it can be used both for bathing in the shower and for changing the burrs.

In the above description of the embodiment, expressions such as a hot air generator and a hot air are used, but the generator and the hot air are replaced with a cold air generator and a cold air for a hot summer season. In particular, in the case of diaper replacement, there may be a case in which cool air is used to create a refreshing feeling. Humidity may also be controlled.
For patients with impression skin, warm air or cold air sprayed with chemicals or sprayed with chemicals may be used. Dry air from which moisture has been removed may be used. Thus, in the shower bag of the present invention, variously controlled winds are used.

[0013]

By using the shower bag according to the present invention, it is possible to deodorize odorous gas inside the shower bag. This is essential when you need to pay attention to others in a shared room.
