Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Field of Industrial Application] The problem of caring for physically handicapped persons and bedridden elderly people is now a major social problem, and in the future, public care facilities alone cannot cope with such problems. There is a growing need for home care, and the first obstacle is the problem of bathing. This device is extremely useful in industry because it can be performed by one caregiver with a normal level of physical strength.

[Prior Art] With regard to bathing for the bedridden elderly and physically handicapped at home, a bathing car for public use plays a role in bathing, but each local government keeps increasing the number of these cars. It is the current situation that we are having a hard time due to the cost, and the reality is that even if we move one or two units, we cannot meet the wishes. The present invention can solve this difficult problem at home.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the present invention is an alternative to the conventional bathing vehicle, and if there is one adult caregiver at each home, it can be used for elderly people who are bedridden or physically handicapped. It is a device that can be easily bathed.

By transmitting the rotation of the handle 4 to the ball screw 9, the ball nut 10 is raised and lowered, and this function is used for raising and lowering the hanging frame 2 and the hammock 7 on which a human body is placed.

Four casters with stoppers are attached to the legs of the main body 1 so that the bed and the bathtub 3 can be smoothly moved.

The hammock 7 that is attached to the suspension frame 2 is designed so that when the human body rides on it, the shape of the seat is adjusted to a natural posture, and the length of the chains and ropes of the suspension is adapted to the person. Make it adjustable.

The bathtub 3 has a rectangular size in which the hanging frame 2 and the hammock 7 can be housed inside, and a hot water supply pipe 22 from a hot water supply faucet 16 of a domestic bathroom, a shower hose 25 connected to the hot water supply pipe 22, and a hot water discharge pipe 23. The overflow pipe 24, which also functions as a stopper, is connected to the hot water outlet.
