JPH0928733A - Belt conveyer lifting type moving device for at-home care - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve compactness appliable for at-home care and the easiness of use for moving or lifting by freely lifting a frame, to which the prescribed number of casters with brakes are fitted, and providing a belt conveyer unit at the upper part of the frame. SOLUTION: An aluminum frame 2 is made freely movable by fitting four casters 8 with brakes to it. Besides, the lifting device of the frame 2 is provided by housing the gear head of a motor, screw and linking device 6 or the like in bellows 7. A belt conveyer unit 1 composed of a motor, decelerator, belt, drive head pulley, return roller and tail pulley is arranged at the upper part of the frame 2. A help bar 5 is provided on one side of the frame 2. Adjust dials 4 are provided on both sides. Thus, the frame 2 is moved between a patient bed and a toilet, etc., its height is adjusted and a patient is moved by the belt conveyer 1.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is a transfer device for home care. (Prior art) Conventionally, a stretcher (moving bed) or a cloth belt is placed under the patient's hips and lifted or lifted with a wheelchair, or the patient is transferred manually by the helper. I was letting it. However,
In the aging society, the increase in the number of medical institutions such as hospitals and public nursing homes cannot keep up with the increase in the number of applicants, and it is now necessary to provide home care. Equipment for medical institutions is expensive, large, and not suitable for 6 or 8 tatami rooms at home. Another problem is the aging of caregivers.
It is now time for the bride in her 60s to take care of her old grandmother, and it is becoming physically impossible. When it comes to home-based care, it becomes "bedridden" and "diapers". I wanted to solve the problem of "Is it easy to wake up from bed and go to the bathroom, take a bath, or go to a hospital by car?" The present invention is a transfer device for home use that is small, inexpensive, easy to ride, easy to move, and has an automatic belt conveyor that can adjust the height automatically and safely, without requiring the helper's physical strength, muscular strength, and skill. Bed
To move from (A) to the portable toilet (C), set it beside the bed in the same direction and apply the brake on the casters with brake (8). [Fig.2] The reference patient (B) is moved laterally in the direction of the arrow. After transferring to the belt conveyor device (1), rotate it in the direction of the arrow on the conveyor to move. Portable toilet (C) at the tip of the belt conveyor device (1)
Place, adjust the height to move up and down, and then transfer. The same method can be used with a wheelchair instead of the portable toilet (C). Release the casters with brake (8) to the passenger car or bathtub, move it, adjust the height, and transfer. Until now, passenger cars with high seats (actually I want to use it to move patients,
It was very difficult to transfer to (lift equipment is expensive and there are many dedicated), but it is easy to transfer not with each wheelchair but with unmodified seats. If you remove the assistance bar (5) and reduce the height to 40 cm, you can move it by loading it on the light van carrier. The height extends up to 80 cm, and it can be used up to the height of the high-floor seat of domestic cars. The speed and height of lifting and lowering, and the speed of the belt conveyor can be adjusted with the adjustment dial (4), and this dial is also installed on the opposite side (3) of the frame (2) for easy access. In this way, it is a device that relieves a half-disabled patient from being "bedridden" and tries to use it as humanly as possible.
