Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of laying a bed under a user (severe patient, elderly person, etc.) and connecting the bed to another bed, such as a bed or a transfer bed (hereinafter referred to as a stretcher). The present invention relates to a mattress having a transfer function, which can be easily transferred between devices.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the movement of a patient between a bed and a stretcher or the like includes a sheet on which the patient lies,
A plurality (3 to 5) nurses and the like were lifting.
In addition, a transfer tool in the form of a plastic board or a roll-shaped transfer tool has been laid under the patient to perform the transfer.

[0003]

However, the method of transferring patients and elderly people (users) by lifting them together with the sheets is a considerable labor, and places a heavy burden on the waist of nurses and the like. . Since it is the lifting of the sheet, it tends to be unstable and may give a sense of fear to the user. In addition, the transfer tool in the form of a plastic board does not have cushioning properties, which gives a user discomfort. Further, with the transfer tool in the form of a roll, it is relatively easy to lay or remove the transfer tool, but it is difficult to freely perform the transfer because the amount of movement is determined by the width of the transfer tool. The present invention has been proposed in order to remedy such inconvenience. The present invention is laid under a user (severe patient, elderly person, etc.) and allows the user to use a bed and another bed, that is, a bed or a transporter. Bed (hereinafter, stretcher)
It is an object of the present invention to provide a mattress having a transfer function that can be easily transferred between the mattress and the mattress.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a transfer function for transferring a user between a bed and another bed under a user. A mattress having a high cushioning property and a rigid core material covered with a relatively low-friction sheet, and configured so that the vicinity of the ends at both ends on the longitudinal side can be folded back to the center side. And a pull handle for pulling in the width direction is provided on the flap portion.

[0005]

Next, an embodiment of a mattress having a transfer function according to the present invention will be described.
This will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a mattress 1, which is laid under a patient, between a bed (described below) and a stretcher (described below),
It is for transferring elderly people (hereinafter, users). The mattress 1 has a width and a length that are large enough to carry a user, and a planar shape is formed such that both end surfaces perpendicular to the longitudinal axis gradually decrease in the width direction toward the tip. It is formed in a substantially octagonal shape.

[0006] The mattress 1 is formed of a cloth member (described later) sewn in a bag shape and is provided with a mat body 2 on which a user's body is put, and is foldable on both sides orthogonal to a width direction axis. A pair of pullers 4 are sewn in a loop shape for pulling the mattress 1 in the width direction of the mattress 1 on the flap portions 3 and both flap portions 3. In addition, one end face of the both end faces orthogonal to the longitudinal axis has an opening for taking in and out a core material, which will be described later, into the mattress 1 and is used for opening and closing the opening. A fastener 5 is provided (see FIG. 2).

A woven cloth (for example, polyester) made of synthetic resin fiber having low friction is applied to the cloth member forming the mattress 1, that is, the outer cloth 6 (FIG. 3).
reference). Also, the padding of the mattress 1, that is, the core material 7
For example, a polyester fiber having high cushioning property and rigidity is applied.

[0008] With respect to the mattress 1 having the transfer function configured as described above, a diagram when the user is actually transferred is shown, and the function and operation will be described based on the diagram. FIG. 4 shows a state in which a user is put on the mattress 1 according to the present embodiment placed on the bottom 11 of the stretcher 10 and the user is transferred to a normal bed 12. Here, the stretcher 10 will be briefly described. The stretcher 10 has a configuration in which the bottom 11 is supported on the bogie 13 such that the lifting height is adjustable by displacing the lifting link 14 by a lifting mechanism. In addition, side panels 15 for supporting a user are provided on both sides of the bottom 11 from the side of the bottom 11. The side panel 15 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the bottom 11 and to be held vertically up and down.

The user places the stretcher 10 on the bottom 11 via the mattress 1 via the mattress 1, and lays the stretcher 10 on the side of the bottom 16 of the bed 12 to which the stretcher 10 is to be transferred. Adjust the height of the At this time, the height of the bottom 11 is adjusted to be slightly higher than the bottom 16. Then, the side panel 15 facing the bottom 16 is developed in a horizontal state so that the side panel 15 rides on the upper surface of the bottom 16.

Next, the nurse moves to the side opposite to the side of the bottom 16 on which the stretcher 10 is laid,
A mattress 1 with a user from the opposite side
The mattress 1 is pulled toward the bottom 16 by grasping the side puller 4. Since the woven fabric made of low-friction polyester fiber is applied to the surface fabric 6 of the mattress 1, the mattress 1 can be easily drawn (see FIG. 5). Mattress 1
Is held on the bottom 16, the nurse pushes the flap 3, which is closer to the nurse, together with the pull 4 so as to be folded back to the lower side of the mat body 2, and turns the user to the side where the nurse is. Thus, the user can pull out the mattress 1 and lay the user on the bottom 16.

On the other hand, when transferring the user from the top of the bottom 16 to the mattress 1, the nurse must
With the flap 3 of the mattress 1 close to the nurse side folded back together with the pull 4 to the lower side of the mat body 2 above, the mattress 1 is placed in contact with the user and the bottom 16. The user is laid on his / her back on the mat body 2 side of the mattress 1. Here, by pulling out the flap portion 3 folded down to the lower side of the mat body portion 2 together with the pull 4, the user is brought almost to the center side of the mattress 1, and the side facing the pulled pull 4 is pulled out. The user can be easily moved by pulling the puller 4.

As described above, taking advantage of the low friction property of the surface cloth 6 in the mattress 1, the nurse can be easily moved alone by a nurse even in a state where a user is put on the mattress. It has a great effect that the labor can be reduced.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, by utilizing the low friction property of the front side fabric of the mattress, it is not necessary to carry out the heavy labor of lifting the user together with the sheet as in the related art. In addition, there is a great advantage that the nurse, the caregiver, and the like can move easily without giving the user a fear.
