Description

  This device is designed to assist a person lying in a futon or bed to get up, and more specifically, even for elderly people, lower limbs, people with weak backs and disabled people, and does not suffer too much of a burden on the arm. The present invention relates to a rising motion assisting device that can effectively use an arm to get up quickly.

  As a conventional rising motion assisting tool, a frame formed in a U-shape facing downward on a base plate is erected vertically, and there is a structure in which a horizontal rail is provided at a required position in the upper and lower sides of the frame. When a person lying on the futon or bed wakes up by inserting a part under the futon or mat, and holding the frame or side rail with one hand, The upper body is raised and the upper body is raised to assist when waking up (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  By the way, the conventional assisting tool for getting up has a structure in which the frame or the side rail is simply gripped. Therefore, when getting up using the assisting tool for getting up the upper part of the body, it is necessary to constantly apply power to the arm from the start of getting up until the upper body gets up. It is necessary to cause the upper body to be put in, and for this reason, a person with weak arm strength, such as an elderly person, a disabled person or a sick person, has difficulty getting up and consumes more physical strength than necessary. .

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, two support columns 22 erected so as to stand vertically at predetermined positions on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 21, and lower portions at the front portions of both support columns 22. A support frame 23 projecting forward is provided at a position, and an armrest plate 24 is horizontally mounted on the space between the support frames 23, and the column 22 is disposed at a position above the armrest plate 24 at the front portion of the columns 22. There is proposed a rising motion assisting tool in which a side frame 25 for connecting the middle of the support frame 23 and the upper surface of the support frame 23 is provided, and a gripping rod 26 facing the front-rear direction is fixed to the upper end of each column 22.

  The assisting device for raising motion provided with the armrest plate 24 puts the elbow of the other arm on the armrest plate 24 while waking up when the upper body is lifted by one arm while holding the support column 22, the support frame 23, the side frame 25, etc. By doing so, a part of the weight of the upper body is supported, thereby reducing the force applied to one arm holding the support column 22, the support frame 23, etc., and using the power of both arms to raise the upper body Is trying to be able to.

  By the way, since the armrest plate 24 protrudes largely toward the front part of the support | pillar 22, as shown in FIG. 4, the raising assistance tool provided with the above-mentioned armrest plate 24 is a position far from grasping the support | pillar 22 with a hand. Therefore, if the support frame 23 or the side frame 25 is inevitably held at a low position, the arm angle with respect to the upper body becomes smaller when the grip position is lower than the armrest plate 24, and the arm force is effective when the upper body is raised. There is a problem that strong arm strength and grip strength are required.

  Further, the armrest plate 24 provided on the support frame has a structure in which the side frames 25 are projected at positions on both sides on the upper surface thereof, so that the side frame 25 becomes an obstacle when the elbow is attached to the armrest plate 24, The entire lower arm of the arm cannot be placed on the armrest plate 24. For this reason, it is difficult to attach the lower arm from the elbow to the armrest plate 24 to support the upper body. There is a problem that it is not possible to reduce the force applied to one of the arms holding the.

  Furthermore, the gripping rods 26 provided at the upper ends of both struts 22 are oriented in the front-rear direction of the struts 22. Therefore, when grasping when getting up, those who have weak gripping force such as elderly people, disabled persons, and sick people There is a danger that the hand that you hold will fall out and fall.

  Therefore, the problem of this device is that the angle of the arm with respect to the upper body can be selected largely, and furthermore, the force applied to the arm can be reduced by keeping the lower arm from the elbow to the armrest plate stably, and the grip strength is reduced. The object of the present invention is to provide a support tool for getting up, which can improve safety because the hand does not slip even if it is weak.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention erected two pillars standing vertically at predetermined positions on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate, and in the middle between the two pillars. The armrest plate that extends horizontally toward the front between the two struts is attached by directly fixing to both struts, and a horizontal beam is installed between the both struts at a position above the armrest plate, A grip plate is installed between the upper ends of both columns.

  The support column includes a large-diameter pipe whose lower end is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate, a small-diameter pipe inserted into the large-diameter pipe so as to be movable in the vertical axis direction from the opening at the upper end, and the small-diameter pipe as a large-diameter pipe. It can be formed such that the vertical height can be adjusted with the fixing tool to be fixed, and the armrest plate can be fixed to both large-diameter pipes.

  Here, the base plate is a plank rectangle that is long in the front-rear direction and uses a wooden plate or a metal plate with rounded four corners. The large-diameter pipe is fixed by screwing the flange provided at the lower end to the base plate, and the adjustment tool for the column is attached to the nut fixed to the upper end of the large-diameter pipe and inserted into the large-diameter pipe The height of the column is adjusted by providing a plurality of adjustment holes that fit the male screw shaft of the adjustment screw in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals, and selecting the adjustment hole that fits the male screw shaft of the adjustment screw by moving the small diameter pipe up and down. Can be adjusted.

  The armrest plate is a long rectangular wooden plate along the width direction of the base plate, has a size large enough for the entire lower arm to rest from the arm elbow, and is provided at both sides closer to the rear. By fitting the hole to the upper end of the large-diameter pipe in the support column and supporting the lower surface with a bracket fixed to the large-diameter pipe, it is fixed in a horizontal arrangement between the support columns and overhangs on the front side of both support columns It has become.

  The grip plate is formed in a horizontally long wooden shape that is longer than the interval between both side struts, and is fixed by screwing screws from the connection plate to the lower surface, overlapping the upper surface of the connecting plate that joins the upper ends of the small-diameter pipes on both side struts. .

  According to this device, an armrest plate that extends horizontally toward the front between the two struts is fixed to the both struts directly at a position between the two struts standing on the upper surface of the base plate. Therefore, there are no obstacles on the top surface of the armrest plate that protrudes forward from the column, so that it is possible to wake up while holding the grip plate between the side rail and the upper end of the column with one hand. Therefore, the entire lower arm from the elbow of the other hand can be reliably placed on the armrest plate, and the weight of the upper body during waking up is supported by the arm on the side with the elbow. Arm strength can be greatly reduced, and even those with weak arms, such as the elderly, disabled, and sick, can get up easily.

  In addition, a horizontal beam was installed between the two columns above the armrest plate, and a grip plate was installed between the upper ends of the two columns. Because the hand does not slip even if the grip strength is weak, safety can be improved, and when you get up, you can grip the side rail and the grip plate to make the arm tilt angle relatively large with respect to the upper body As a result, the arm strength effectively acts as a force for raising the upper body, so that even a person with weak grip strength can easily get up.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on illustrated examples.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rising motion assisting tool 1 of the present invention is a base plate 2, and is erected so as to stand vertically at a predetermined interval at positions on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 2. The armrest plate 4 attached by fixing directly to the both struts 3 at a position between the two struts 3 and the struts 3, and the upper position of the armrest plate 4 between the both struts 3. It is formed by a plurality of installed horizontal rails 5 and a grip plate 6 installed between the upper ends of the both columns 3.

  The base plate 2 is, for example, a hard plate such as a wooden plate or a metal plate having a width of 500 mm and a length of 600 mm in the front-rear direction and a long rectangular shape with rounded corners. The support columns 3 are erected vertically so that the distance between the centers is 240 mm.

  The column 3 has a large-diameter pipe 8 of a metal pipe fixed vertically by fixing a flange 7 provided at the lower end to the upper surface of the base plate 2 with a screw 7a, and the large-diameter pipe 8 from the opening at the upper end to the vertical axis direction. A metal pipe small-diameter pipe 9 inserted so as to be movable, and a height adjuster 10 provided at a position on the upper end side of the large-diameter pipe 8 to fix the small-diameter pipe 9 to the large-diameter pipe 8; It is formed with.

  The height adjuster 10 is provided with an adjustment screw 12 that can penetrate a peripheral wall of the large-diameter pipe 8 by screwing a male screw shaft 12a into a nut 11 fixed to the upper end portion of the large-diameter pipe 8. The small diameter tube 9 inserted into the diameter tube 8 has a structure in which a plurality of adjustment holes 13 into which the male screw shaft 12a of the adjustment screw 12 is fitted are provided vertically at a predetermined interval, and the small diameter tube 9 is moved up and down to By selecting the adjustment hole 13 into which the male screw shaft 12a is fitted, the vertical height of the support column 3 can be adjusted according to the person using it.

  The armrest plate 4 is a long rectangular rectangular wooden plate or resin plate along the width direction of the base plate 2, and has a width and length sufficient to allow the entire lower arm to rest from the elbow of a person's arm. Are fitted in the upper ends of the large-diameter pipes 8 in the respective pillars 3 and the lower surface is supported by brackets 14 fixed to the large-diameter pipes 8 so as to face forward. By being stopped, it is fixed in a horizontal arrangement between the two columns 3 and has a flat structure free from obstacles on the upper surface that protrudes from the columns 3 to the front side by a length of about 150 mm, for example.

  As described above, when the length of the armrest plate 4 projecting to the front side is set as described above with respect to both columns 3, the length of the armrest plate 4 projecting to the front side is set on the condition that the lower arm can be placed on the armrest plate 4. Therefore, the armrest plate 4 does not get in the way of gripping the support post 3 and the horizontal rail 5, and lay down by gripping the support post 3 and the horizontal rail 5 at a position higher than the armrest plate 4. The angle of the arm relative to the upper body of the person can be set large, and the arm force can be effectively applied as the force that the upper body causes.

  The crosspieces 5 provided between the columns 3 are made of metal pipes and the small-diameter pipes 9 are coupled and integrated with each other, and the grip plate 6 is formed in a horizontally long wooden shape longer than the interval between the side columns 3. The upper end of the small-diameter pipe 9 is covered from the connecting plate 15 that joins the upper end of the small-diameter pipe 9 in the support column 3 and is fixed by screwing screws 16 from the connecting plate 15 to the lower surface.

  The rising motion assist 1 of the present invention is configured as described above, and as shown in FIG. 3A, if the arm is extended while slightly raising the upper body against a person lying on the futon A, With the front side of the base plate 2 being inserted under the futon A so that the column 3 and the crosspiece 5 can be grasped, the base plate 2 is placed, for example, in a lateral position opposite to the dominant arm.

  When a person lying on the futon A gets up, first get up while slightly raising the upper body, twist a little to the side of assisting movement, hold the column 3, the side rail 5 or the grip board 6 with the dominant arm, and force the dominant arm in this state Pull up the upper body and raise the upper body at the same time.

  Since the horizontal beam 5 or the grip plate 6 is positioned above the armrest plate 4, the arm angle when the horizontal beam 5 or the grip plate 6 is gripped becomes relatively large, and the force that causes the arm strength to cause the upper body It works as effectively.

  When the upper body rises slightly in this way, the elbow of the other arm is placed on the armrest plate 4 as shown in FIG. 3A, and the entire lower arm is placed on the armrest plate 4 from this elbow. By placing it on the body, it supports a part of the weight of the upper body while getting up and reduces the burden on the dominant arm that causes the upper body.

  Since the armrest plate 4 is directly fixed to both the struts 3 so as to protrude horizontally toward the front between the both struts 3, the upper surface is flat and there is no obstacle, and the arm elbow Thus, the entire lower arm can be put on and a part of the weight of the upper body can be reliably supported, and the arm force required to cause the upper body can be reduced.

  If the whole lower arm is hung from the elbow of the other arm on the armrest plate 4 as described above, the upper body can be easily raised by pulling up with the dominant arm, and (c), (d) in FIG. 3 (C) and (e) and (f) in order, when the upper body is raised, the lower arm is placed on the armrest plate 4 and the lower arm is used as a fulcrum while bending the foot. It is only necessary to put the knee so that the lower body is raised, and then to stand up while raising the lower body while raising the legs while re-gripping the horizontal rail 5 or the grip plate 6 with both arms.

  Since the horizontal rail 5 or the grip plate 6 is arranged so as to intersect with the direction in which the arm is pulled, it does not slip through when it is gripped by a hand, and even a person with weak arm strength can safely get up. be able to.
