Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a chair for a physically handicapped person. It relates to a chair for the disabled.

[0004] When a physically handicapped person using a chair for a healthy person who has difficulty in legs and hips is used, the seating surface is a single piece and does not bend from the middle, so that the seat cannot be adjusted to the contracture of the hip joint, and the physically handicapped person cannot use the chair. There is the problem of feeling cramped.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims to provide a chair for a physically handicapped person that can be adapted to the contracture of the hip joint and can cope with both extension and flexion. It is the target.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the chair for the physically handicapped of the present invention is a chair for the physically handicapped provided with a seating surface, a backrest, and supporting legs, and is provided at a substantially central portion of the seating surface in the front-rear direction. A pivot is provided, a seat surface in front of the pivot is a front seat surface, a seat surface behind the pivot is a rear seat surface, and the front seat surface is more bendable than the pivot shaft, and a rear seat surface is provided. At the end, a backrest that rises at a predetermined angle with respect to the rear seating surface is extended, and the angle of the backrest can be changed from the pivot axis.

[0007] As a material of the frame of the chair of the present invention, any of metal and wood can be used, and the frame is covered with cloth or the like.

[0008] Here, the chair for the physically handicapped of the present invention can flexibly change the angle of the front seat surface relative to the rear seat surface with respect to the pivot axis, that is, can change the angle. Available.

In the chair for the physically handicapped according to the present invention, the back seat and the backrest are integrated, so that the waist is stabilized.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for understanding of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part of an example of a mechanism for holding the front seating surface 1 at an angle shown in FIG. 3 at that angle.

Further, a backrest 4 is integrally raised with the rear seating surface 2 at a predetermined angle, and the backrest 4 is also bounded by the pivot 3 as shown by an arrow B in FIG. It can be tilted freely. In the drawing, reference numeral 5 indicates a holder for holding the backrest 4 at a certain angle, and 6 indicates a supporting leg.

In the chair for the physically handicapped according to the present invention, although not shown, when a cushion material having a certain thickness is further covered on a cloth stretched on a skeleton, the chair is used. More preferred.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the front seating surface 1 can be set and held at a desired angle with respect to the pivot 3, and the backrest 4 is also integrated with the rear seating surface 2. Specifically, it can be tilted from the pivot 3 and held at a desired angle.

[0015]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The seat surface is divided into a front seat surface and a rear seat surface with the pivot axis as a boundary, and the front seat surface can be freely bent with respect to the rear seat surface and fixed at a desired angle position. It is possible to handle both extension and flexion of the foot, and it can adjust to hip contracture, so that the disabled person using the chair does not feel cramped .

Since the rear seat and the backrest are integrally formed at a certain angle, the hip joint is stable.

The backrest, together with the rear seating surface integral therewith, is tiltable from the pivot and can be fixed at a desired angle, which is comfortable for the user.
