Seat part fixed to the mattress by the fixing means
Pillow part at the part located on the head side of this sheet member
Locking means for detachably fixing a material, and a sheet member
In the area corresponding to the vicinity of both sides of the mattress,
Id guard pad detachably attached
The wearing surface is laid .

[0005]

The sheet member can be easily put on and fixed to the mattress. Then, a pillow member and a side guard pad are attached. If these pillow members and side guard pads are prepared in various shapes, they can meet the user's preference.

[0008] On the seat member 5 , a locking means 10 for detachably fixing the pillow member 6 is provided at a portion located on the head side. An engaging surface 11 constituting a hook-and-loop fastener is laid at a position on the surface of the sheet member 5 corresponding to the vicinity of both side surfaces of the mattress 3. The side guard pad 7 is engaged with the engaging surface 11. That is, on the side guard pad 7 side, a fastening tool (not shown) which is fastened to the fastening surface 11 is laid. The side guard pad 7 is formed by wrapping and sewing a suitable cushioning substance, and may have a different shape.
In addition, the side guard pad 7 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin hollow body formed by blow molding.
Any configuration may be used, such as a configuration in which the surface is covered with a sheet member. Further, in the pillow member 6,
It can be configured by sewing appropriate padding. Further, the pillow member 6 is provided with a locking tool 12 corresponding to the locking means 10 at a portion of the sheet member 5 located on the head side.

According to the patient upper body support assisting means 4 in a bed or the like having the above-described structure, the sheet member 5 can be easily put on and fixed to the mattress 3. That is, the front and back sides of the mattress 3 are wrapped from the head side to the waist side of the mattress 3 so that the sheet member 5
The front side and the back side of the mattress 3 are engaged with each other by the mounting piece 8 near the head side and the waist side, and the seat member 5 is attached to the mattress 3 by the locking device 9 at the place corresponding to the waist. It is fixed so that it does not shift (see FIG. 2).
The pillow member 6 is provided with the locking means 1 on the head side of the sheet member 5.
0 is engaged, the side guard pad 7, the sheet member 5
To the engaging surfaces 11 in the vicinity of both side surfaces. If the pillow member 6 and the side guard pad 7 are prepared in various shapes, they can correspond to the user's preference. Thus, the pillow member 6, the side guard pad 7,
Is not constituted by metal fittings, so that the body of the user can be supported in a cushioned manner, the structure of the patient upper body support assisting means 4 is simple, and it is possible to avoid discomfort and pain. .
