2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a transfer device of this kind, a device in which a main column is erected so as to be tiltable and a receiving plate is provided at the tip thereof on a turntable (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-1958575) or a belt is applied to the belly There are things such as supporting and lifting the weight. The inventor of the present invention has also previously proposed “human body transfer device”, 1990 patent application No. 12837. However, there was no transfer device capable of performing transfer with a large height difference only by holding the upper body. That is, a. There are cases in which the body of the person being assisted is not adequately held during transfer assistance, and both arms rise in a veiled fashion and the waist does not rise sufficiently. B. Further, in the case of a person who mainly holds the weight by applying the belt under the waist, the belt must be attached or removed under the waist of the person being assisted sitting in a wheelchair or a toilet seat. However, this was a complicated and difficult task for the caregiver, and it was discomforting for the care recipient. C. In addition, because it was not possible to assist in the removal and removal of pants, pants, etc. using the transfer device, there is also a case where the care recipient's self-esteem is hurt and exposed to the cold because of the prior and subsequent removal at other places apart from the toilet. There were many.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem to be solved by the present invention is to eliminate the method of lifting the belt under the waist when transferring in a human body transfer device, and "to hold the upper body suitable for the lifting posture. Lift your trunk stably and comfortably. " Then, by using a waist belt together depending on the case, it is intended to further expand the range of use cases.

A main pillar (2) is provided on a pedestal (1) having casters, and a branch pillar (3) tiltable from a position (o) corresponding to the knee height of the main pillar is provided. Then, the joint column (4) for unitarily supporting the body retainer is inserted at the end thereof.
On the other hand, the pedal is taken out from the midpoint (p) of the main pillar, and linked with the branch pillar by the link (6). In the upper body retainer mounted on the human body transfer device configured as described above, the person being assisted receives the component force (p) acting at right angles to the trunk when standing forward by the belly pad (7). Hold it. (Above Fig. 2. Fig. 4. Fig. 1
Then, the component force (F) in the trunk direction is carried by placing both sides on the two arm bars (12) opened in a substantially horizontal figure eight shape. This arm bar is a hinge block (11) rotatably attached to the axis of the handle (8).
Its end is connected with a pin (13) and opened in the direction of the person being assisted in the shape of an openable and closable figure, and is supported from below by a sliding metal fitting (9) whose center is arranged substantially orthogonally. The second half of the arm bar is warped. It is optimal that the sliding fitting has a downward slope from both the left and right sides toward the center, and the arm bar is placed on the slope. (Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 5)

For those who cannot move their arms together, the hinge block is provided separately in two so that the above-mentioned arm bars can be independently moved. (Refer to FIG. 6) In a general-purpose "human body transfer device", two hinge shafts are provided with fan gears facing each other, and the left and right arm bars are always arranged with respect to the center by linking the fan gears with each other. It is easy to use if the structure moves symmetrically. (Refer to FIG. 7) "Claim 4" is a structure for applying lateral pressure to both sides by a method different from "Claim 1". That is, two arm bars are connected to a hinge block fixed non-rotatably to a handle shaft by pins which can be opened and closed in a substantially horizontal eight shape. The feature of the present invention resides in that the axes (l) and (m) of the pin are paired with respect to the vertical line to the left and right, and are tilted by an appropriate angle in the y-direction and x-direction components. (Fig. 8. Fig. 9)

[0006]

With the transfer device configured as described above, transfer from a bed to a wheelchair or the like is performed by the following procedure. (See FIG. 4.) Bring the device closer to the front of the person being seated, and place your foot on the pedestal to bring your knees closer to the knee rest. Tilt the branch posts and apply the belly pad, put the arm bar that has been opened in advance on the armpit, and place it on the sliding metal fittings. And keep both arms in a natural position with armrests (1
0). At that time, the joint struts are expanded and contracted as necessary according to the body. The caregiver pulls the handlebar (8) toward you while stepping on the pedal. Then, the body of the person being assisted tilts and stands up, and transfers from the bed to the transfer machine. At this time, although not shown, when the branch post rotates to the upper limit, it hits the stopper and the lock is automatically applied to maintain its posture. Then, the direction of the transfer device is appropriately changed, and the transfer device is moved to approach the wheelchair. After that, unlock the lock and step on the pedal while sitting on the wheelchair to complete the transfer. Since the rear end of the arm bar is warped, it prevents the body from falling backward while sitting.

[0007] In the series of operations described above, the holding of the body will be described by capturing the time when the body tends to be most unstable and standing up. I. The knee is restrained from wobbling by the arcuate knee pad (14). The belly pad supports the abdomen and bears the component force P of the weight W _{1 in} the direction perpendicular to the trunk. (See FIG. 10) b. The two arm bars enter the armpit in a horizontal figure eight,
Carry half of the weight W _{1/2 on} each side. Since the arm bar is on the slanted surface of the sliding metal fitting, the body is tightened with the lateral pressure T so that the arm bar cannot slip off. (See FIGS. 1 and 5) c. With regard to "claim 2", the left and right arm bars can be treated separately. D. With regard to the "claim 3", for example, by moving one arm bar with one hand, both arm bars can be moved symmetrically at the same time, and the center of the body of the person being assisted can be prevented from collapsing laterally. E. The structure of "Claim 4" is different from that of "Claim 1", but the axis (l) of each arm bar is symmetrically inclined.
And to rotate about the (m), resulting lateral pressure T when multiplied by the weight W _1/2, is sandwiched the body from both sides. (See FIG. 8 and FIG. 9)

[0008]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, a main pillar (2) is erected on a pedestal (1) having casters, and a branch pillar (which can be tilted from the approximate knee height (o) of the main pillar ( 3) Take out, and insert a branch post (4) that integrally supports the body holder. In addition, in this joint, the branch posts are male and the branch posts are female. Then, the pedal (5) is taken out from the midpoint (p) of the main pillar and is connected to the branch pillar by the link (6). On the other hand, as for the body retainer, the belly pad (7), the handle (8), the sliding fitting (9) and the arm rest (10) are integrally provided on the branch post by the method described above. Then, from the hinge block (11) rotatably attached to the handle shaft (8) or the shaft core provided in the vicinity thereof, the two arm bars (12) are attached to each other through the pin (13) in a substantially horizontal direction toward the person being assisted. It is put out in the shape of, and the sliding metal fittings (9) are arranged substantially orthogonally in the middle thereof to support it from below. The arm bar is made of a rigid material, the part that touches the body is covered with a soft substance, and the rear end is warped. The sliding metal fittings may have an inclination of an angle θ on the horizontal plane at the left and right ends where the arm bars are to be mounted, and although not shown, a retaining bar of the arm bar is appropriately held at the end thereof. The "claim 2" is shown in FIG. Hinge block (1
5), the hinge block (16) has left and right arm bars (1
2) is independently provided for each, and each is rotatably attached. "Claim 3" is shown in FIG. Fan-shaped gears (18) centering on the pins (13) at the bases of the two arm bars (12) provided on the hinge block (17)

"Claim 4" is shown in FIGS. The hinge block (20) is fixed to the handle (8) or the like, or its rotation is blocked by a stopper (not shown here) in the clockwise direction from the position shown in the drawing.
It is attached so as to be rotatable in the counterclockwise direction. The base of the arm bar (21) is cantilevered in the shape of an eight-shaped open / close cantilever by a pin having a shaft core (l) (m). Then, the axes (l) and (m) are inclined as a pair on both sides with respect to the y-axis standing upright on the xy horizontal plane. Both FIGS. 8 and 9 exemplify the inclination only by the y component, but the x component for generating the component force T for holding the body when the weight W _1/2 is applied to the arm bar, respectively. , Y
The combination of the slopes of the components is free.

[Effects of the Invention] When an elderly person, a physically handicapped person, etc., transfer to and from a bed, toilet seat, shower chair, etc. centering around a wheelchair, "in principle, transfer with a large height difference only by holding the upper body" It is in the point that made it possible. That is, a belly pad is provided, and separately from it, hinge support is provided to support both sides by arranging the arm bar in an eight shape having an approximately appropriate angle with respect to the human body, which supports the body by the combined force of the weight and lateral pressure. Because it is held, it is automatically and firmly held regardless of the size of the chest. As a result, the caregiver does not have to wear a belt on the back of the person being assisted who is sitting in a wheelchair or a toilet seat, which is complicated and requires physical strength, and the person being assisted is relieved from the discomfort of the belting. In addition, since it is possible to maintain the posture of standing upright only by holding the upper body, it is possible to use the transfer device to assist in the attachment and detachment of pants and pants.

The "claim 2" is applied to a hemiplegic patient due to the aftereffects of stroke, and has an effect that the arm bar can be attached and detached for each arm. According to claim 3, if the caregiver moves either one of the armbars, the other one also moves symmetrically, which is convenient for putting on and taking off. Once attached, it has the effect of keeping the body centered. . With the increase in the number of persons being assisted, home care is often entrusted to elderly women, and the provision of a transfer device that can be easily and easily handled by a weak person is a great social effect.
