Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a side rail for a bed which can also be used as a table.

(Prior art and its problems) Beds used by patients require side rails to prevent the bedding and patients themselves from falling.
A table is also required for eating on the bed. Conventionally, these have been constructed independently for exclusive use, so it is necessary to secure a storage space especially for the table when it is not in use.
There are also table plates that are placed and fixed on the left and right side rails to be used as a table, but the table plates themselves must be removed and stored in an appropriate location when not in use.

The present invention aims to eliminate the need for storing members when not in use, as was the case in the past, by making the side rails usable as tables. The following is a detailed description of the embodiments based on the drawings corresponding to the embodiments.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In FIGS. 1 to 5 corresponding to the embodiment of the present invention, reference numeral 1 indicates the side fence as a whole, and this side fence 1 is the side fence frame 2. It is constructed by attaching a plate body 3 for preventing falling. In this side fence 1, the upper side of the fall prevention plate 3 is rotatably fixed to the side fence frame 2, and a support capable of supporting the fall prevention plate 3 by protruding in the lateral direction. Configuring mechanism 4 in place. In the illustrated embodiment, the side fence frame 2 has a structure in which a horizontal rod portion 6 is integrally provided between the left and right support portions 5, 5.
The upper side of the fall prevention plate 3 is rotatably fixed to. Reference numeral 7 denotes a fixing member attached to the upper side of the plate body 3, and this fixing member 7 is provided with a pair of members 8, 8' for supporting the horizontal rod part 6, and this pair of members 8, 8' A stopper protrusion 9 is provided on the horizontal rod portion 6 in a corresponding manner between the fixing member 7 and the stopper protrusion 9 so that the fixing member 7 and the stopper protrusion 9 come into contact with each other when the plate body 3 is rotated at an angle of approximately 270 degrees in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state. It is supported in such a horizontal state. In addition, as a method of rotatably fixing the upper side of the fall prevention plate 3 to the side fence frame 2, an appropriate rotation mechanism using a conventional hinge etc. can be applied, and a fall prevention As shown in FIG. 3, the support mechanism 4 that supports the plate 3 in a horizontally protruding manner also has a stand rod 10 rotatably provided on the side fence frame 2, and a receiving member for the stand rod 10 on the plate 3. 11
An appropriate structure may be used, such as a structure in which the plate body 3 is supported by providing a. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the plate body 3 is supported by being rotated by about 270 degrees from the state in which it is used for fall prevention, but it may be supported by being rotated by about 90 degrees. In the illustrated embodiment, reference numeral 12 is a stopper for preventing the fall prevention plate 3 from rotating outward when it is used for fall prevention.
The stopper 12 may have any suitable structure, such as a structure in which it cannot be rotated inwardly at a predetermined position.

(Function) In the above configuration, the side fence 1 of the present invention is fixed to the side of the bed 13 as shown in FIG.
By keeping the patient in a vertical position, the side fence frame 2 and the plate body 3 can prevent bedding, the patient, and the like from falling. The method of fixing the side fence 1 is as follows:
In addition to the method of fitting and fixing 5 to the fitting part 15 formed on the upper part of the side frame 14 of the bed 13, any suitable conventional method can be applied.

Next, when a patient lying supine on the bed 13 needs a table on which to place items, such as when eating or reading, the plate 3 is rotated and raised so that it protrudes laterally. If it is supported in a horizontal or near-horizontal state, the plate 3 for preventing falling
It can be used as a table by placing items on it.

In this case, if the side fence frame 2 is fixed to the bed 13 in the same way as for fall prevention, as shown in Fig. 4b,
Since the plate 3 is supported so as to project laterally inward from the side end portion of the bed 13, the plate 3 can be used like a side table. In such a case, in a configuration in which the plate body 3 is rotated at an angle of about 270 degrees,
The side fence frame 2 may be fixed to the bed 13 with the right and left sides reversed, and in a configuration in which the side fence frame 2 is rotated at an angle of about 90 degrees, the side fence frame 2 may be left in the state where it is used for fall prevention. As described above, when the plate 3 is used only as a side table other than to prevent falling, the side fence frame 2 may have an appropriate structure.

Next, the support portions 5 on both the left and right sides of the side fence frame 2,
5 is configured to be able to straddle the floor 16 of the bed 13 as in the illustrated embodiment, and each is connected to the side frame 14.
If the plate body 3 is configured so that it can be fixed to the floor part 16, as shown in FIG. can. As a method for making it usable in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition to the method of making the lengths the same in the transverse direction, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is also possible to make the horizontal rod portion 6 expandable and retractable so that the pitch between the support portions 5 is variable.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention provides a side fence constructed by attaching a fall prevention plate to a side fence frame, in which the upper side of the fall prevention plate can be rotated to the side fence frame. In addition to fixing the fall prevention plate, a support mechanism that can support the fall prevention plate by projecting it laterally is constructed in an appropriate position, so the fall prevention plate can be used as a table board, which was not necessary in the past. There is an advantage that the table plate does not need to be stored elsewhere and can be used immediately when needed.
