Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body suspender capable of lifting a care recipient in a predetermined posture, and using the body suspender to take a bath, a stool, or a bath for a care recipient mainly on a bed. The present invention relates to a nursing care system that assists in boarding a wheelchair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As the aging society progresses, the number of care recipients who need assistance when taking a bath, a toilet or a wheelchair is increasing. In addition to the elderly whose physical strength has declined,
There are a variety of injured and disabled people who cannot act autonomously due to illness or injury even if they are young. In any case, with the assistance of a caregiver, and with the help of various care devices, bathing,
You must board a flight or a wheelchair. Since the modes are indeed various, inevitably the types of nursing care devices are also various, and many applications have been filed so far.

[0003] As one of the nursing care devices, there is a body hanger used to wake up a so-called bedridden elderly person or to hold the body when walking. The body hanger,
Since the object to be lifted is a person with reduced physical strength, it is different from a crane or the like that lifts luggage. For example,
`` Human body hanger for nursing care equipment '' introduced in JP 08-084753 A
Has a configuration in which the waist and buttocks of the body are supported at two points by a mounting member, so that the posture of the care recipient can be changed according to the positional relationship of each mounting member with respect to the body.

[0004] Bedridden caregivers (mostly elderly)
If you wake up and take a bath, stool or wheelchair, use body hanging equipment, but if the toilet or bathroom is far from the bed where the care recipient is sleeping, you may take the care recipient difficult. For this reason, many beds equipped with toilets and bathrooms have been conventionally proposed. For example,
No. 10-137314 discloses that the bed needs to be covered with a shower cover to take a bath, and a part of the bed mat can be slid to use the toilet under the bed.
Bed with toilet function. " In addition, JP-A-11-
No. 056926 proposes a “bed apparatus with a bathtub / toilet” in which a bed mat can be raised and evacuated after a care-requirer is lifted by a net, and a toilet or bathtub under the bed can be used.

[0005]

First of all, if the purpose of lifting the body is to take a bath, a stool or a wheelchair, it is necessary to lift the body lifting device. Caregiver attitude is important.
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-084753 mentioned above, the position of the care-requiring person can be changed according to the positional relationship of each mounting member with respect to the body, but the mounting member is only fixed in position and the posture is changed. Must be moved by the care recipient. In practice, before starting lifting, the caregiver decides the posture by moving around the support position of the care recipient, but this leaves a burden on the caregiver and makes it difficult to change the posture after lifting. There is.

[0006] In order to realize sufficient care of the care recipient,
The idea of arranging toilets and bathtubs around beds has been around for a long time. Generally, Western style toilets are used for stools, and the care-requiring person is in a sitting position, and a bathing posture is preferably a back posture with the body extended as much as possible. This shows that the attitude of the care recipient when moving from the bed to the toilet or bathtub is important. The challenge is how to lift it.

[0007] In this regard, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-137314 gives up lifting of the care-requiring person, and allows the care-requiring person to sleep and take a bath (shower) while sleeping. Certainly, it is not necessary to change the posture of the care recipient during stool or bathing, and the burden on the caregiver is reduced, but it is necessary for the care recipient to receive care while sleeping all.
Not a good thing. Also, it can be said that bathing is not enough, especially in Japan, where there is a custom of bathing in a bath. On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-056926, the care-requiring person can be lifted by the net, and the care-requiring person can be lowered to the bathtub in a supine position. In addition, when the care recipient is dropped on the toilet, it is difficult to achieve a sitting posture.

[0008] In view of the bed provided with the toilet and bath, it can be seen that the conventional body hangers are insufficient. In addition, even when the toilet can be used in a lying state or a state close to it, if the care recipient is to be boarded from a bed to a wheelchair, it is necessary to bring the care recipient to a wheelchair and shift to a sitting position. . Therefore, first, we reviewed the body hangers that can easily determine the posture when lifting the care recipient, and then developed a nursing system that can use the toilet and bath centered on the bed using these body hangers. For the purpose of building, we examined.

[0009]

[Means for solving the problems] As a result of the examination, first, (1)
It is composed of a main body part, a side support part and a lower limb support part, and the main body part is a member connecting the side support part and the lower limb support part, and provided with a pivotal lifting point connected to the lifting device, with the pivotal lifting point as an axis The side support portion is a substantially U-shaped member having support bars to be inserted on both sides of the body, and the upper pivot point which rotates within the tilt movement plane of the main body portion is set in the main body portion. The lower support is a support member that lifts the buttocks or the lower limbs of the body from below, and the body supports the lower limb support in a direction in which the inclined motion surface and the support bar are parallel to each other. The lower pivot point which pivots in the tilt motion plane is provided on the main body, and the lower limb support is pivotally attached to the lower pivot point, and the pivot lift point corresponds to the lifting direction of the lifting device. We have developed a body hanger with a stopper that regulates the angle of inclination of the main unit. This body suspending device is used by lifting the main body by allowing the side support portion and the lower limb support portion lined up on the same surface to enter the back of a care-requiring person who is lying on her back on a bed. Because you do not touch the back of the care recipient, but mainly lift it up with your armpits,
Hereinafter, it will be referred to as a "arm-holding body hanging device".

[0010] The side-supporting body hanger supports the side by a side supporting portion and the buttocks or lower limbs by a lower limb supporting portion so as to hold the care-requiring person. At this time, the positional relationship between the side support portion and the lower limb support portion is determined by tilting and lifting the main body portion connecting the both at the tilt angle regulated by the stopper, and the posture of the care recipient is seated according to this positional relationship. Or to the supine position. Since the care-requiring person does not create his or her own posture, the posture is determined from the positional relationship between the side support and the lower limb support due to the regulation of the inclination angle of the main body, so that there is no burden and the purpose (bathing, Posture can be easily made according to the above. In addition, since the back of the care-requiring person is not blocked, the lifting form is particularly suitable for bathing. In addition, the lower limb support
By opening the center part and making it a toilet seat shape, the care recipient who has been lifted in the sitting position can be dropped on the toilet as it is,
Can be used for convenience.

Next, (2) a lower limb support, a torso support, and an elevating lifting point, wherein the lower limb support is a supporting member for lifting the buttocks or the lower limb of the body from below, and the elevating lifting point connected to the lifting device. The torso can be lifted while maintaining the posture during lifting, and the torso support is a support member having a receiving portion addressed to the back of the body. The torso support is pivotally attached to the connecting pivot point in a direction where the pivoting motion surface of the pivot point and the receiving part are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the lifting and lowering points are fixed for the base and the base attached to the lower limb support. It consists of a moving part that can only move up and down, and an auxiliary connecting part that connects the moving part and the torso support at a fixed distance.When the lifting device lifts the moving part, the moving part rises by a predetermined amount and then supports the lower limb. In addition to lifting the part, the auxiliary connecting part Dosasae unit has developed a body sling that was to cause. With this body suspender, the side support and torso support arranged in the same plane are sunk into the back of a care-requiring person who is lying on his back on a bed, and the lower limb support is lifted before use. Since this body hanger supports the entire body of the care-requiring person, particularly the back, from below, it is hereinafter referred to as a "back-supported body hanger".

The back-supporting type body hanger lifts the buttocks or the lower limbs from below by the lower limb support, and supports the back to be raised by the torso support. At this time, the raising angle of the torso supporting portion with respect to the lower limb supporting portion is regulated in proportion to the amount of movement of the moving portion in the auxiliary connecting portion, and the posture of the care recipient is determined by appropriately setting the amount of moving of the moving portion appropriately. Be in a sitting or supine position. Similar to the side-hanging body hanging device, the care-requiring person does not create his / her own posture, but determines the angle at which the torso is raised by lifting, so there is no burden and the purpose (bathing, stool or assistance in boarding a wheelchair) Can easily be made in accordance with the posture. Also, unlike a side-hanging body hanging device, since it does not place a burden on the arm of the care recipient, it is suitable for lifting a care recipient who has an injured arm. The point that the lower limb support is preferably formed in the shape of a toilet seat is the same as the side holding type body hanging device. In this back-supporting body hanging device, it is basically sufficient to support the buttocks or lower limbs and the back, but unlike the side-holding type body hanging device, the buttocks or lower limbs may have a center of gravity. It is better to add a leg support that supports the lower limb in a direction opposite to the wearing side, that is, in the direction in which the lower limb extends.

[0013] Further, as a body hanger in consideration of riding on a wheelchair when going out, (3) a side support portion and a lower limb support portion,
The armrests are generally U-shaped members having support bars inserted from both sides of the body from the front of the body, and can be lifted by providing fixed lifting points connected to the lifting device. A support member that can be inserted into the buttocks through the crotch from the front and is connected to the side support section via a link mechanism that uses the side support section as a fixed node, and the lower limb support section extends the support bar of the side support section. We have developed a body hanger that allows the hips to be supported when the user moves forward in the installation direction, and releases the hips when the robot retracts. This body suspender is used with the caregiver in need of raising his / her upper body on the bed, the support arm and the lower limb support are sunk into the armpits and crotch from the front of the caregiver, and the arm support is lifted. I do. It is mainly referred to as a "wheelchair-mounted type body suspender" because it is suitable mainly for lifting a care recipient in a sitting position and riding in a wheelchair.

[0014] The above-described side-hanging type body hanger or back-supporting type body hanger basically has a form in which a support member is sunk into the back of a care-requiring person sleeping on his back on a bed to lift the care-requiring person. . For this reason, there is no problem when returning to the bed again, but when the care-requiring person is boarded on a wheelchair, the lower limb support portion is particularly likely to be in the way, and the side support type body support device or back support type Must be removable. On the other hand, in this wheelchair-mounted type body suspender, the side support portion is inserted from the front of the care-requiring person to the side, and the lower limb support portion is sunk from the crotch without attaching and detaching the side support portion and the lower limb support portion. On the other hand, after the care-requiring person is put on the wheelchair, the side support portion and the lower limb support portion can be removed again from the front. Since it is difficult to insert and insert the side support part and the lower limb support part at the same time, first insert the side support part to the side, and then make the lower limb support part dive from the crotch by the link mechanism.

In the present invention, utilizing each of the above-mentioned body suspenders,
A nursing care system has been constructed to assist the care recipient in taking a bath, stool, or boarding a wheelchair. That is, (a) a hoist having a track installed on the ceiling as a lifting device, and the side-hanging type body hanging device to be lifted by the hoist, the back-supporting type body hanging device or the wheelchair-mounted type body hanging device, and immediately below the track of the hoist. It consists of a placed toilet or bathtub, and a bed that is sized to cover the toilet or bathtub and that can move back and forth toward the toilet or bathtub,
The care-requiring person is lifted from the bed in one of the postures from the sitting position to the supine position by the body hanging device, and the care-requiring person gets on the wheelchair beside the bed in the sitting position, retracts the bed, and stools in the sitting position, or This is a nursing care system in which the bed is evacuated so that the user can take a bath in any posture from a sitting position to a supine position. Since a hoist is used, it is hereinafter referred to as a “hoist-type care system”.

Each of the body suspenders can lift the care-requiring person in a predetermined posture, and each of them has an optimum use mode. Therefore, the lifting device and each body hanger are detachable. Further, it is convenient to attach a table or the like to the lifting device from which the body lifting device is removed so that the care recipient can use the table on the bed. In the hoist-type care system, a side-hanging body-supporting body or a back-supporting body-hanging body is used for stool and bathing, and a wheelchair-mounted body-hanging body is used when a care-requiring person is to be mounted on a wheelchair when going out. By suspending each body suspending device from the hoist having the track installed on the ceiling, the lifted care recipient can be freely moved in any posture within the range of the track of the hoist. When the care recipient does not need to be moved, the position of the hoist may be fixed. The care-requiring person can lift the bed once by using the side-hanging type body hanger or the back-supporting type body hanger from the bed, evacuate the bed, and then use the toilet bowl or bathtub hidden in the bed. At this time, if the lower limb support portion of the side holding type body backing device or the back support type body hanging device is a toilet seat shape, the care recipient needs to use the device while supporting the side holding type body hanging device or the back supporting type body hanging device. I can do it. In addition, in the case of a side-supporting body hanger or a back-supporting body hanger, while holding the care-requiring person in any of the postures from a sitting position to a supine position, the side-holding body hanger or the back-supporting body hanger is placed in a bathtub. You can take a bath while keeping it in a comfortable position by lowering it. Of course, wheelchair-mounted body hangers can be used for bathing.

As another example, (b) a lifter having a track installed on the floor surface as a lifting device, and the above-described side-hanging type body hanging device, back-supporting type body hanging device or wheelchair-mounted type body hanging device which is lifted by the lifter; It consists of a toilet bowl or bathtub arranged along the track of the lifter, and a bed that covers the toilet bowl or bathtub and that can move back and forth toward the toilet bowl or bathtub. Lift the patient from the bed in one of the above postures, and the care recipient needs to be on a wheelchair beside the bed in a sitting position, evacuate the bed and use the toilet in the sitting position, or retreat the bed and move from the sitting position to the supine position. There is a nursing care system that allows you to take a bath in different postures. Since a lifter is used, it is hereinafter referred to as a “lifter-type care system”. Unlike a hoist that hangs a body suspender from the ceiling, a lifter that lifts the body hangers at a lower position on the floor has an advantage that it can be easily carried into a room to which a care system is appropriately applied. The mode of use or selection of each body hanger is the same as in the hoist-type care system described above. When the care recipient does not need to be moved, the position of the lifter may be fixed, for example, the bed may be integrally provided with the lifter.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a hoist type nursing care system using the side-holding type body hanging device 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the nursing care system. This example is a hoist-type nursing care system in which an armrest-type body hanger 1 composed of a main body 2, a side support 3 and a lower limb support 4 is suspended by a hoist 5, and a toilet 7 and a bathtub are provided below a bed 6. 8 is installed. If necessary,
The wheelchair 9 can be brought to the side of the bed 6, and the care-requiring person lifted by the side-hanging body hanging device 1 can be put on the wheelchair 9.

In this example, a hoist-type care system is constructed in a room assigned to care. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a toilet 7 and a bathtub 8 are arranged in an isolation pan 10 for preventing water from scattering, and a bed 6 having a size to cover the toilet 7 and the bathtub 8 is provided. It is provided so that it can move back and forth from the window to the entrance. A hoist 5 for suspending the side-hanging body hanging device 1 is provided along a ceiling along a ceiling from a window to an entrance.
Girders 12 are erected on the rails 11 and 11 and move left and right on the girder 12. Further, the wire suspension base 13 of the hoist 5 is made to be horizontally rotatable, and the hanging body-type hanging device 1 to be suspended is movable and directional in the room.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing the state in which the side-hanging type body hanger 1 used in the above example is not lifted, FIG. 4 is a plan view in the same state, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a side view showing the side holding type body hanging device 1 in which the care-requiring person 15 is lifted in a supine position, and FIG. 7 is a plan view in the same state. FIG. 8
Is an enlarged side view of the upper pivot point 14 in the same state as viewed from the back, and FIG. 9 is a side view showing the side holding type body suspending device 1 in which the care recipient 15 is lifted in a sitting position, and FIG. FIG. 11 is an enlarged side view of the upper turning point 14 in the same state as viewed from the back. Side holding type body hanging device 1 of this example
The main body 2 and the side support 3 as shown in FIG.
And the lower limb support portion 4, so that the posture of the care-requirer 15 when lifted can be selected from a horizontal position, either a supine position or a sitting position.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the side holding type body hanging device 1 of this embodiment will be described. The main body 2 has an upper turning point 14 and a lower turning point 16 at both ends, and the turning points 14 and 16 are interlocked by hanging a chain 17 built in the main body 2. In this example, the upper turning point 14 is also used as a turning lifting point, and the support base 18 is pivotally mounted on the upper turning point 14 (see FIG. 5). For this reason, the main body 2 can be lifted in an inclined state by lifting the upper pivot point 14 with a cantilever. Extending from the support base 18 is an adapter bar 20 that connects to the hook 19 of the hoist 5 on the entire center of gravity. The stopper that regulates the inclination angle of the main body 2 pierces the support base 18 with three regulating holes 21 that are viewed at each specific inclination angle, and
A pin 22 to be inserted into the regulation hole 21 from above,
By inserting the pin 22 into the selected restriction hole 21, the inclination angle of the main body 2 with respect to the adapter bar 20 is determined, and the posture of the side-hanging body hanging device 1 is restrained.

At the upper pivot point 14, a substantially U-shaped side support portion 3 having support bars 23, 23 inserted on both sides of the care recipient 15 is provided.
Are axially mounted in such a direction that the support bars 23 and 23 are parallel to each other in the inclined movement plane of the main body 2. The side support 3 is detachable from the upper pivot point 14. Further, a lower limb supporter 4 in the shape of a toilet seat, which lifts the buttocks of the care-requiring person 15 from below, is pivotally attached to the lower pivot point 16 so that the seating surface is orthogonal to the inclined movement surface of the main body 2. . Side support 3 and lower limb support 4
Is rotated in conjunction with the chain 17 in the main body 2, so that the support bars 23, 23 and the seating surface are always kept parallel (FIGS. 3, 6, and 9 for comparison). In the initial state, the side support portions 3 and the lower limb support portions 4 are arranged in the same plane.

The side-hanging body suspender 1 is used as follows, and lifts the care recipient 15 in a predetermined posture. First, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the side support portions 3 and the lower limb support portions 4 are sunk into the back of the care recipient 15 in a horizontal state in a line in the same plane. Since the care-requiring person 15 is lying on his / her back on the bed, it is preferable to turn over, for example, to sneak into the back. Also, with the side support portion 3 and the lower limb support portion 4 arranged in advance in the same plane with respect to the bed,
May be integrally attached. In this case, the adapter bar 20 is usually detached from the support base 18 or the connection between the adapter bar 20 and the hook is released, and the care recipient 15
When lifting, the adapter bar 20 may be mounted on the support base 18 again, or the adapter bar 20 may be connected to the hook. If you want to lift the care recipient 15 in a horizontal state, see FIG.
May be inserted into the corresponding restriction holes 21.

After the side support 3 and the lower limb support 4 are sunk into the back of the care recipient 15, the upper pivot point 14 (the pivot lift point) of the main body 2 is slowly moved through the adapter bar 20. When lifted, the armrests 3 are lifted so as to insert the support bars 23, 23 beside the care recipient 15 as seen in FIG. 6 or FIG. At this stage, the pin 22
Is removed, and the rotation of the main body 2 is made free.
As a result, the lower limb support portion 4 is still pressed on by the care recipient 15 and is still on the bed, but only the side support portion 2 is lifted upward, and as a result, the body of the care recipient 15 can be raised.

The feature of the side-hanging body hanging device 1 is that the lifted side-holding type body hanging device 1 determines the posture of the care-requiring person 15, and lifts the care-requiring person 15 while maintaining the above-mentioned posture by regulating the stopper. In that they can do it. For example, when the pin 22 is inserted into the regulating hole 21 for determining the supine position with respect to the inclined main body 2 as shown in FIG. Can be lifted in a supine position (see FIG. 6). In this state, as shown in FIG. 7, since the horizontal position of the side support portion 3 and the lower limb support portion 4 is shifted, the care recipient 15 who entrusts the body to the side holding type body hanging device 1 is in the supine position. Become. The supine position is suitable for bathing the care recipient 15, moving the bed to the entrance side with the care recipient 15 lifted, and then lowering the care recipient 15 again to hide the bed. If you drop it in a bathtub, you can take a bath as it is. Even in this bathing state, the armrest-type body hanging device 1 supports the side and buttocks of the care recipient 15 and the armrest-type body hanging device 1
Functions as a railing and holding device. Side-hanging body suspender 1
Since the back of the care recipient 15 is not closed, there is an advantage that the back can be easily washed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the pin 22 is inserted into the restriction hole 21 for determining the sitting position with respect to the inclined main body 2, the care-requiring person 15 can be lifted in the sitting position. (See FIG. 9). Unlike the case of the above-mentioned supine position, as shown in FIG. 10, the side support portion 3 and the lower limb support portion 4 are substantially at the same position, so that the upper body of the care recipient 15 is in the standing state, that is, the sitting position. This sitting position is suitable for urinating the care recipient 15, moving the bed to the entrance side while lifting the care recipient 15, and moving the hoist to lower the care recipient to the toilet. If you can, it can be used. In this example, since the lower limb support portion 4 is formed in a seat plate shape with an opening, it is possible to easily use large and small stools without shifting the posture of the care recipient 15 again. In addition, the care recipient who has been lifted
If 15 is moved horizontally by a hoist, the care recipient can be boarded in a wheelchair parked beside the bed.
After boarding, it is difficult to pull out the side support 3 and the lower limb support 4 simply by lifting the side support type body hanger 1,
It is preferable that the support portions 3 and 4 be removed from the main body portion 2 and removed from the care recipient 15.

FIG. 12 is a side view showing the back support type body hanger 24 before lifting, FIG. 13 is a front view of the back support type body hanger 24 and the lifter 25 in the same state, and FIG. Fifteen
Is a side view showing the back-supported body hanging device 24 in a supine position, FIG. 15 is a side view showing a state in which the wheelchair-mounted body hanging device 26 is lifted, and FIG. 16 is a back-supported body hanging device. FIG. 9 is a side view showing a state where a table 27 is mounted on a lifter 25 in place of a tool. As shown in FIG. 12 and subsequent figures, the back support type body hanging device 24 includes a lower limb support portion 4, a torso support portion 28, and a leg support portion.
Consists of 29. For the lower limb support portion 4 having a seat plate shape having an opening for stool, the torso support portion 28 and the leg support portion 29
As shown in FIG. 13, the synthetic resin film 30 is a metal frame stretched in a vertical lattice. Care recipient when lifted
For the 15 postures, either the supine position or the sitting position is selected from the horizontal position.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the back-supporting type body suspending device 24 of the present embodiment is lifted by a lifter 25 which reciprocates on a straight track 31 (in the depth direction in the drawing). Unlike the case of hoisting with a hoist, two lifting points can be provided for the lower limb support portion 4 to secure the stability of the back-supporting body hanging device 24 when lifted. Lifter 25
Is limited to the straight track 31 because, as shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub 8, the toilet 7 and the wheelchair 9 are arranged in order along the longitudinal direction of the bed 6.
(The straight track is parallel to the girder 12 of the hoist 5). For this reason,
In the lifter-type nursing care system configured by combining the back-supported body hanger 24 and the lifter 25 in this example, the care-requiring person 15 cannot be moved freely in the room in a state of being lifted. The necessary and sufficient care can be provided.

The lower limb support part 4 has an inner cylinder 32 standing upright as a base part, and an outer cylinder 33 ascending and descending integrally with the lifter 25 is externally inserted into the inner cylinder 32 as a moving part, and protrudes from the inner cylinder 32 in the radial direction. The engaged locking pin 34 is fitted in the long hole 35 of the outer cylinder 33. When the lifter 25 starts to rise, the outer cylinder 33 first rises. At this time, lock pin
The long hole 35 rises relatively to 34, and when this locking pin 34 is locked to the lower edge of the long hole 35, the inner cylinder 32 starts to rise following the outer cylinder 33 for the first time, and the lifter 25 can lift the leg support 4. Further, an interlocking support plate 36 is attached to the outer cylinder 33 as an auxiliary connecting portion, and a swingable interlocking bar 37 is pivotally mounted on the body support portion 28, and an interlocking support plate 36 that interlocks with the rise of the outer cylinder 33 is provided. By lifting the regulating pin 38 of the interlock bar 37, the trunk support 28 is lifted while being inclined. That is, by providing a delay in the rise of the inner cylinder 32 with respect to the outer cylinder 33, as shown in FIG.
And the interlocking bar 37) cause the torso support 28 in advance,
The posture of the care recipient 15 is changed. In addition, a leg support 29 connected downward from the lower limb support 4 is a torso support 28.
A link mechanism 39 different from the above is configured to automatically fall down as the lifter 25 rises.

The manner of use of the back-supporting body hanger 24 is also the same as that of the side holding type body hanger 1 exemplified above (see FIG. 3 and subsequent figures). The supine position is suitable for bathing, and the sitting position is suitable for stool. When boarding a wheelchair, after the care recipient 15 has boarded the wheelchair,
In order to pull out the lower limb support 4, etc., the lower limb support 4, the torso support 28 and the leg support 29 are separable from each other. The posture of the care-requirer 15 formed by the back-supporting body hanging device 24 is determined by changing the position of the regulating pin 38 on the connecting bar 37 of the auxiliary connecting portion. In the example of the side-hanging body hanging device 1 described above, after lifting by the hoist, the posture is determined and the body hanging device is restrained by the regulating pin. Attachment of the restriction pins 38 to various positions of the interlocking bar 37 allows the posture to be determined in advance.

Each of the above-mentioned body suspenders 1 and 24 needs to be disassembled when the care recipient 15 gets on a wheelchair. In practice, such disassembly is cumbersome and not very favorable. Therefore, a wheelchair-mounted type body hanging device 26 as shown in FIG. 15 is used by appropriately attaching it to a hoist or lifter 25. FIG. 15 shows an example in which a wheelchair-mounted type body suspender 26 is attached to a lifter 25. The wheelchair-mounted type body hanging device 26 includes a side support portion 40 and a lower limb support portion 41. The side supporting portion 40 has the same structure as the side holding type body hanging device 1 shown in FIG. 3 and the following, but has a substantially U-shape having support bars 23, 23 inserted from both sides of the care recipient 15 from the front. A base 42 for connecting the lower limb support 41 is extended from the frame-shaped body, and is connected to a lifting device to be lifted. The lower limb support 41 is
A saddle-shaped seat plate 43 is attached to a support member that can be inserted into the buttocks through the crotch from the front of the care recipient 15. The lower limb support section 41 is connected to the side support section 40 via a link mechanism 44 with the base 42 of the side support section 40 as a fixed node.

In order to lift the care-requirer 15, the wheelchair-mounted type body hanger 26 in which the lower limb support portion 41 is retracted to the front by the lever 45 provided on the base portion 42 is required to raise the upper body on the bed. To the person 15 and the support bar 2 of the side support part 40
3 and 23 are passed by the care recipient 15, the lever 45 is pulled to the front, and the seat plate 43 of the lower limb support part 41 is inserted into the buttocks through the crotch from the front of the care recipient 15 and supported. State. Once the care recipient 15 has successfully boarded the wheelchair,
To retract the seat plate 43 of the lower limb support part 41,
Is released from the wheelchair-mounted body suspender 26.

In addition, from the viewpoint of more effectively using the hoist type or lifter type care system, for example, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the table 27 may be attached to the outer cylinder 33 instead of each body hanger, and may be moved up and down by the lifter 25 when necessary. The table 27 is hung by a hoist or a lifter, and the supporting legs and the like do not protrude from the lower surface side, so that the care recipient 15 can freely extend the legs when using the table 27. Also, it can be easily retracted upward and does not become an obstacle when not in use. Furthermore, when arranging the dishes on the table 27 at the time of the meal, the dishes can first be arranged on the table 27 moved to a place other than the bed, and then the table 27 can be moved to the bed again, so that the serving and clearing are easy and easy. There is also an advantage that it does not disturb the care recipient.

The back-supporting body hanger 24 shown in FIG. 12 and thereafter, the wheelchair-mounted body hanger 26 shown in FIG. 15, and the table 27 shown in FIG.
Of course, it can be hung with a hoist (Fig. 17, Fig. 1
8 and FIG. 19). In this case, unlike the lifter, the hoist basically has a single lifting point.
As shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the inner cylinder 32 (back-supported body hanging device) or two fixed lifting points (wheelchair-mounted body hanging device, table) standing upright from the lower limb support portion 4 are put together on the way. Hoist hook (not shown) using adapter bar 46
Connect to Since the hoist can secure a sufficient lifting height, stable lifting can be achieved even if only one lifting point is provided.

According to the body hanging device of the present invention, the care-requiring person can be lifted in a posture suitable for a purpose such as use of a toilet or a wheelchair. In addition, since the lifting of the body itself naturally and easily changes the posture of the care recipient, the burden on the care recipient is not imposed.

By using such a body hanger, a care system in which a toilet and a bathtub are arranged around a bed can be constructed more flexibly and appropriately than before. bathing,
For boarding a stool or a wheelchair, appropriate postures are different from each other, so conventionally, individual body hangers were required in the past, but at least the present invention uses the same body hangers for bathing or stool. Therefore, the device configuration can be simplified. In particular, a nursing care system that can appropriately form a supine position to lift a care recipient is preferable because it enables bathing in which the care recipient can be immersed in a bathtub.

As described above, the greatest effect of the present invention is that the toilet and the bath are attached to the bed, and the detailed care can be realized centering on the bed.
