Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer device as a means for transferring care from a bed or the like to a wheelchair or toilet seat for a person who cannot stand up or walk by himself.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  Conventional transfer devices require a force to lift the weight of the entire body in the abdomen of the cared person, and the labor load is large and manual operation is difficult for a caregiver who is weak, such as a female caregiver. Further, if a long operation arm for lifting is provided, inconvenience is caused in movement.

  According to the present invention, the chest part where the cared person's upper body is placed is moved forward, and the knee part is pushed backward simultaneously, so that the waist can be easily lifted and transferred.

Means for solving the problem

  In order to achieve the purpose of reducing the above-mentioned burden, the present invention has focused on the point that the buttocks are floated. That is, in order to raise the cared person, the whole body must be lifted, and the force to lift the whole weight is required. However, when the cared person is crouched, the weight is placed on the chest part and moved forward, and at the same time, the legs are extended to push the knee part straight so that the leg of the cared person can be stretched easily. Can be lifted.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this apparatus, casters 2 are attached to four corners of a rectangular base plate 1, and a frame 3 is erected slightly forward from the center position in the longitudinal direction. The height of the frame 3 can be adjusted by screws 4.

  At the upper end of the frame 3, a guide plate 5 that is gently inclined downward is fixed from the care recipient side toward the front. Also, rail plates 6 provided in the same manner as the inclination of the guide plate 5 are attached near the lower knee positions on both sides of the frame 3. Further, an operation handle 7 for a caregiver is installed at an intermediate portion between the guide plate 5 and the rail plate 6 of the frame 3, and its base portion is pivotally fixed to the frame 3 by a shaft 8.

  Directly connected arms 9, 9 ′ are vertically fixed to the base of the operation handle 7 and interlocked with the operation handle 7. On the other side of the operation handle 7, an operation grip 10 for the caregiver to raise and lower the handle and a grip grip 11 for the care recipient are formed.

  On the guide plate 5, a chest support portion 12 on which the cared person's chest is placed is sandwiched by guide rollers 13 and 13 ′ provided at the lower part of the front end. Further, the breast support portion 12 is connected to the connecting arm 9 at the lower rear portion thereof.

  The upper surface of the chest support portion 12 is generally formed of a cushion material having a concave shape in an arc shape in the left-right direction, and a fixed band for a cared person is provided.

The rail plate 6 is attached with a knee contact portion 14 located in a lower part of the care receiver's knee.
The knee abutment portion 14 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is fitted to the rail plate 6 via a fixing bracket 15. Further, the rail plate 6 is connected to the connecting arm 9 ′ by a connecting link 16.

  A specific example of the knee abutment portion 14 is shown in FIG. 6. A roller 17 is attached to a rail plate 6 fixed to the frame 3, and a shaft 19 and a roller 19 are attached to the roller 17 by a U-shaped moving plate 18. A knee contact portion 14 is provided via the attachment tube 20. The knee contact portion 14 can be moved up and down by a shaft 19, a long hole 21 of the mounting tube 2 </ b> D, and a fixing screw 22. In addition, as long as a knee contact part can slide along the rail board 6, what kind of thing may be sufficient.

Action

In the transfer device according to the above embodiment, the caregiver inserts the base 1 part into the lower part of the care receiver's bed, puts both feet on the base 1, and inserts the lower part of the knee into the knee abutment part 14 so as to be narrow. Secure in the wearing state. Next, the abdominal part and the chest part are placed on the chest contact part 12 and fixed securely by the fixed handle 13. Further, the care receiver is caused to hold the handshake grip 11 with both hands.
In these transfer preparations, the knee contact portion 14 and the chest contact portion 12 are moved to a position where the upper and lower portions of the frame 3 can be reliably held depending on the physique of the cared person.

  When the caregiver prepares the above and holds the operation grip 10 and pushes it down, the chest support 12 moves forward on the guide plate 5 by the guide rollers 13 and 13 ′ via the connecting arm 9. At the same time, the knee abutment portion 14 also slowly moves backward and obliquely through the connecting arm 9 'to assist in extending the knee. Both of these movements allow the cared person's waist to float easily.

The invention's effect

  The transfer device of the present invention has the effect of lifting the waist more easily by moving the caregiver forward and extending the knee joint for the purpose of performing the caregiver's labor with a minimum force.
