Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a belt for use in hospital beds, bunk beds for home use, etc. to prevent comforters from slipping down.

(Prior art) When beds are used for bedding, the bed is located at a higher level than the room floor, so the comforter that was draped over the body falls onto the room floor while sleeping. is common. Particularly during hot summer months, we sweat so much that we often unconsciously throw off the comforter while we sleep. In such cases, health is often compromised, such as catching a cold.

In addition, patients who undergo surgery at a hospital are covered with a semi-cylindrical frame cover to prevent the surgical area from directly touching the comforter, and the comforter is placed on top of this, so the comforter may slip off. It's getting easier. Moreover, even if the patient notices that the comforter has fallen off, it is not easy for the patient to pick up the comforter.

In response to this problem, some beds have conventionally provided frames on both sides of the bed to prevent the comforter from slipping down.

In addition, by attaching locking devices to both sides of the comforter and engaging both ends of a holding belt passed under the mattress of the bed with the locking devices, the comforter is prevented from slipping off. (Utility Model No. 141212, 1973) or the cover that goes over the comforter, fold it under the pine tress, and then pull the ends of the cover together with a futon to tighten it to prevent the comforter from slipping off. What I did (Mikiakiaki
No. 52-79209) is known.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, a bed with frames on both sides has the inconvenience of having to climb over the frames when entering or exiting the bed.
This is especially difficult for patients with physical disabilities.

In addition, the products described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-141212 and those described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-79209 can reliably prevent the comforter from slipping down, but they do not allow for body movements during sleep. There is no room and it is cramped.
The above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-141212 describes that if the situation is tight, it can be adjusted by changing the locking position of the locking device and the holding belt, but if the locking position is changed and loosened, the comforter I had a problem where it became easy to fall off.

This idea was created in consideration of these circumstances, and it prevents the comforter from slipping off easily while sleeping, allows for easy body movements while sleeping, and also allows for the comforter to stay in place while sleeping. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a belt for preventing slipping of a bed comforter, which can be fitted to prevent the comforter from slipping off, and which can be easily attached and detached even by one person, and the belt's attachment position can be easily adjusted. There is.

(Means for solving the problem) That is, the belt for preventing slipping of a bed comforter according to this invention is a flexible belt that can be passed through the bottom surface of the mattress and over the top surface of the comforter. is equipped with an elastic member, belt gripping parts are provided at both ends of the belt, and a hook-and-loop fastener consisting of a male member and a female member that secures the belt in an annular manner on the upper surface of the comforter is attached. It is characterized by being long in the longitudinal direction and provided so that the position at which the belt is attached can be adjusted.

This invention will be explained below according to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention, in which a belt 1 is made of a flexible material and includes a non-stretchable fabric 1a and a stretchable rubber 1.
b.

As shown in FIG. 2, the length of the belt 1 is at least long enough to pass through the bottom surface 11 of the mattress 10 and to extend over the top surface 13 of the comforter 12, and the belt 1 is long enough to pass through the bottom surface 11 of the mattress 10 and extend over the top surface 13 of the comforter 12. Bottom surface 1 of 14
Even if the length is such that it can be stretched across the upper surface 13 of the comforter 12 through the bed 16, it is also possible to extend it over the upper surface 13 of the comforter 12 through the lower surface 17 of the bed 16, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. It may be of any length. The belt 1 is preferably wide enough to hold the comforter 12, and in the embodiment, a belt with a width of about 5 cm is used.

By providing the stretchable rubber 1b between the non-stretchable fabrics 1a as in this example,
For example, even if the belt 1 is tightly attached to the upper surface 13 of the comforter 12, the rubber 1
Due to the expansion and contraction of rubber 1b, even if a sleeping person turns his or her body sideways, the rubber 1b will not stretch and make movement difficult. Further, when the body turns from sideways to upward, the stretched rubber 1b contracts and can keep the comforter 12 in a pressed state.

Furthermore, in the case of this embodiment, when the belt 1 is looped around the upper surface 13 of the comforter 12 provided at both ends of the belt 1, the elastic rubber 1b is attached to the comforter 12, as shown in FIG. If the elastic rubber 1b is placed to the left and right from the center of the cover, it will be easier to move even when turning the body sideways to the left or right, and the comforter 12 will be held evenly on the left and right sides. , the comforter 12 is less likely to shift.

The hook-and-loop fastener 4 that loops around the belt 1 is
As shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of a female member 4a in which a large number of loops 5a are formed, and a male member 4b in which a large number of hook-shaped hooks 5b that can be hooked into the loops 5a are formed. When put together, they are attached to each other.

The surface fastener 4 provided on the belt 1 has a fifth
As shown in the figure, the male member 4b or the female member 4
If either member a is formed long along the longitudinal direction of the belt 1, for example, in FIG.
The length of the annular belt 1 can be adjusted by changing its attachment position.

Moreover, gripping parts 2 and 3 are provided at both ends of the belt 1. Therefore, when attaching or disengaging the hook-and-loop fastener 4 of the belt 1, it is sufficient to grasp and peel off the gripping portion 2 or 3, and the operations for attaching and detaching the belt 1 are simple. Easy to do.

(Function) When using the belt for preventing slipping of a bed comforter according to this invention having such a configuration, the belt 1 is passed through the lower surface 11 of the mattress 10 or the lower surface 15 of the mat 14, etc. The gripping portions 2 and 3 of the belt 1 protrude from the edge, and then the belt 1 is placed on the top surface 1 of the comforter 12.
3, the gripping portions 2 and 3 of the belt 1 are overlapped so that the belt 1 becomes annular, and the gripping portions 2 and 3 of the belt 1 are overlapped with each other and fastened using the hook-and-loop fastener 4. Incidentally, it is preferable that the belt 1 is used at two locations, front and rear, as shown in FIG.

(Effects) According to the belt for preventing slipping of a bed comforter according to this invention, it is configured to be stretched over the top of the comforter and attached in a ring shape with a hook-and-loop fastener, so that the comforter is held down by the belt. In addition to being able to reliably prevent the belt from slipping off due to the elasticity of the belt, it also allows for easy movement of the body while sleeping. The comforter will not shift. Furthermore, since a hook-and-loop fastener is used to attach the belt and grips are provided at both ends of the belt, it is easy to attach and detach the belt, and one of the male or female members of the hook-and-loop fastener Since the belt is formed long in the longitudinal direction, the attachment position of the belt can be easily adjusted, making it easy to handle and suitable for patients with physical disabilities.

If you release the hook-and-loop fastener, you can hang the belt on both sides of the bed to prevent the comforter from slipping off, and like a bed with a frame, you don't have to climb over the frame to get in and out. There is no inconvenience that would otherwise be required, and it is particularly suitable for patients with physical disabilities.
