Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a bed in which a side rail is detachably provided to a side portion of a base. BACKGROUND

[0002] A conventional bed is provided with a support table above a base for a person lying on the bed to lie on, and a side rail is detachably provided to a side portion of the support table (a side surface of the base) in order to prevent the person lying on the bed, bedding, and the like from falling off the support table.

[0003] The side rail is formed with a pair of side rail supports downwardly from a side rail main body, and is detachably installed to and used on the side portion of the base by inserting the side rail supports into a pair of support holes formed in a support member of the side portion of the base (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] Further, in the conventional bed, a side rail accommodating space is provided between a plate (a head board or a foot board) at an end portion of the base and the base, so that when the side rail is detached from the base, the detached side rail can be accommodated in the bed.

[0005] [Related Art Documents] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2006-55529 SUMMARY [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional bed is provided with a pair of retainers for retaining the side rail accommodated in the side rail accommodating space in the base, and a retaining hole for inserting the side rail support of the side rail is formed in each of the retainers.

[0006] When the side rail installed on the side portion of the base and used is detached and accommodated in the side rail accommodating space, the pair of side rail supports formed in the side rail are respectively inserted into the retaining holes formed in the pair of retainers, thereby accommodating the side rail in the side rail accommodating space.

[0007] However, when the side rail supports are inserted into the retaining holes formed in the pair of retainers, if there is no margin between the diameter of the side rail supports and the diameter of the retaining holes in order to prevent rattling, it is not easy to simultaneously insert the pair of side rail supports into the pair of retaining holes, and thus it is necessary to make the diameter of the retaining holes larger than the diameter of the side rail supports. However, this causes the side rail supports to rattle with respect to the retainers, thereby causing a problem of making the user of the bed feel uncomfortable.

[0008] Further, in the conventional bed, as described above, Figure 8(a) shown, when the positions of the pair of holders 38, 38 for receiving a standard size side rail 36 are set at the center of the lateral width of the plate 37, the side rail 36 does not protrude from the plate 37, but when the pair of holders 38, 38 are also set like this for receiving a long size side rail 39 which is somewhat longer than the standard size side rail 36, as shown in Figure 8 (b) shown, one side of the side rail 39 protrudes greatly from the plate 37, which affects the installation space of the bed and hinders the operation of the user or caregiver around the bed. In order to solve such a problem, it can be considered to adjust and move the positions of the pair of holders 38, 38 in order to receive the long size side rail 39 at the center of the lateral width of the plate 37, but it is not possible to change the interval between the pair of side rail supports 40, 40 or the interval between the left and right frames 41, 41 supporting the bed for various reasons, as shown in Figure 8 (c) shown, one of the holders 38 cannot be installed because it is in a position interfering with the frame 41 of the bed or the bracket 42 of the plate 37, so the long size side rail 39 cannot be received at the center of the lateral width of the plate 37.

[0009] [Means for solving the problem] Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, there is provided a bed, comprising: a base; and a support table provided above the base for a person to lie on; a side rail including: a side rail body; and a pair of side rail supports formed below the side rail body to be detachably provided at the left and / or right of the base; a side rail accommodation space provided between the front or rear plate of the base and the front or rear end of the support table for receiving the side rail detached from the base; and a side rail support holder to hold the side rail by holding the side rail support on one side of the side rail, and a side rail body holder to hold the side rail by holding below the side rail body, in order to hold the side rail received in the side rail accommodation space.

[0010] Further, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, the side rail body holder is formed with a holding groove along the lower end of the side rail body for holding the lower end of the side rail body.

[0011] Further, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 2, the width of the upper end opening of the holding groove is greater than the thickness of the side rail body.

[0012] [Technical effects] Further, the present application has the following effects.

[0013] In particular, in the present invention, a support table for a lying person to lie on is provided above the base, a pair of side rail supports is provided below the side rail body so that the side rail can be detachably provided on the left or right side of the base, and a side rail accommodation space for accommodating the side rail detached from the base is provided between the plate at the front or rear end of the base and the front or rear end of the support table, and the side rail is maintained by the side rail support holder maintaining one side of the side rail support and the side rail body holder maintaining the lower side of the side rail body. Therefore, when the side rail installed on the side of the base is detached and accommodated in the side rail accommodation space, it is only necessary to fix the side rail support on one side of the side rail with the side rail support holder and place the lower side of the side rail body on the side rail body holder, whereby the side rail can be easily accommodated and easily detached.

[0014] In addition, in the present application, since the side rail is maintained by the side rail support holder maintaining one side rail support of the side rail and the side rail body holder maintaining the lower side of the side rail body, the position of the side rail body holder can be adjusted regardless of the interval between the pair of side rail supports, so that not only a side rail of a regular size but also a long side rail can be accommodated while minimizing the degree of protrusion of the side rail body with respect to the width of the bed plate.

[0015] In particular, the side rail body holder is formed with a holding groove along the lower end of the side rail body for maintaining the lower end of the side rail body, which can reduce the shaking of the side rail accommodated in the side rail accommodation space.

[0016] In addition, in the case where the width of the upper end opening of the holding groove is greater than the thickness of the side rail body, when the side rail is accommodated in the side rail accommodation space, there is a margin between the side rail body and the upper end opening of the holding groove, so that the side rail body can be inserted into the holding groove even if it is slightly deviated from the normal accommodation position, thereby further improving the operability of the accommodation operation of the side rail.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, bed 1 includes: a base 3, and a support platform 2 for supporting the body of a person lying horizontally, which is mounted above the base 3. For convenience, the feet of the person lying horizontally on bed 1 are positioned sideways. Figure 1 The right side of the head is used as the front side, and the head side is used as the front side. Figure 1 The left side of the image is used as the back side for explanation.

[0027] The support platform 2 is installed above the base 3 and is in the shape of a rectangular flat plate. In addition, the support platform 2 can be divided into sections with adjustable height to form a tiltable bed.

[0028] The base 3 includes a rectangular frame bed frame 5 and legs 4 and 4 spaced apart at the front and back, with the bed frame 5 mounted on top of the legs 4 and 4. The bed frame 5 includes left and right frames 6 and 7 spaced apart at the left and right, and front and rear frames 8 and 9, with the front and rear frames 8 and 9 respectively mounted at the front and rear ends of the left and right frames 6 and 7. Furthermore, the base 3 can be configured as a lift bed for raising and lowering the support platform 2, or it can be equipped with casters to make it a movable bed.

[0029] In addition, the base 3 also includes: a horizontally elongated rectangular plate (the footboard 10 and the headboard 11), which is detachably mounted on the left and right frames 6 and 7 of the bed frame 5 via a bracket 12.

[0030] In addition, the base 3 also includes a pair of front-to-back support members 13 and 14, which are installed on the left and right frames 6 and 7 of the bed frame 5 in a back-to-back, outwardly projecting manner. Side rails 15, 16, and 16 are detachably installed on the pair of front-to-back support members 13 and 14.

[0031] Furthermore, the longer side rail 16 is slightly longer front to back than the standard side rail 15. This is in the case where the shorter (standard size) side rail 15 is mounted side-by-side on the base 3. Figure 1 On the left side of the base 3, the space between the front and rear side rails 15, 15, has a width that allows a person lying down to get on and off the bed 1. On the other hand, when the long (long-length) side rails 16 are installed side by side on the base 3 ( Figure 1 (The right side of the base 3), there is almost no gap between the front and rear side rails 16, 16.

[0032] Side rails 15 and 16 include: horizontally elongated rectangular frame-shaped side rail bodies 17 and 18, and a pair of left and right cylindrical side rail supports 19, 20, 21, and 22 extending downward from the lower end of the side rail bodies 17 and 18.

[0033] It is worth noting that although the length of the side rail body 17 of the standard-sized side rail 15 is shorter than the length of the side rail body 18 of the long-sized side rail 16, the shape and spacing of the pair of side rail supports 19 and 20 of the standard-sized side rail 15 are the same as the shape and spacing of the pair of side rail supports 21 and 22 of the long-sized side rail 16. Therefore, both side rails 15 and 16 can be detachably installed onto any pair of supports 13 and 14. Furthermore, the standard-sized side rail 15 also includes a pair of side rail supports 19 and 20, which are equally arranged on the left and right sides of the side rail body 17, so that the left and right protrusion lengths of the side rail body 17 are the same and it has a symmetrical shape. The long-sized side rail 16 also includes a pair of side rail supports 21 and 22, which are offset to one side of the side rail body 18, so that the protrusion length on one side of the side rail body 18 is the same as the protrusion length of the standard-sized side rail body 17, and the protrusion length on the other side of the side rail body 18 is longer than the protrusion length of the standard-sized side rail body 17.

[0034] A pair of front and rear side rail supports 19, 20, 21, 22 are inserted from top to bottom into a pair of front and rear support holes 23, 24 formed in the front and rear support members 13, 14 respectively. The side rails 15, 16 can be installed on the base 3, and in the installed state, the side rail bodies 17, 18 can be removed from the base 3 by lifting them upward.

[0035] During normal use, the side rails 15 and 16 are installed on the left and / or right front and / or rear sides of the base 3. However, when removed from the support members 13 and 14 of the base 3, the side rails 15 and 16 can be stored in the side rail receiving space 25 between the end of the support platform 2 of the bed 1 and the board (bed tailboard 10).

[0036] In the side rail receiving space 25, the side rail support retainer 26 and the side rail body retainer 27 are disposed on the base 3 (front frame 8). The side rail support retainer 26 holds the side rails 15 and 16 by holding any one of the pair of side rail supports 19, 20, 21, 22 on the side rails 15 and 16. The side rail body retainer 27 holds the side rails 15 and 16 by holding the side rail bodies 17 and 18 below them. It is worth noting that the side rail support retainer 26 and the side rail body retainer 27 only need to be disposed in the side rail receiving space 25, but they can also be installed on the rear frame 9 of the base 3, or they can be installed on the board (footboard 10, headboard 11) instead of the base 3.

[0037] A side rail 15 (16) housed in the side rail receiving space 25 can be held by the side rail support retainer 26 and the side rail body retainer 27.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the side rail support retainer 26 is a hollow rectangular box shape and also has: through holes 28, 28 formed on the left and right sides for passing through the front frame 8, and two retaining holes 29, 30 with circular cross sections formed on the top. It is worth noting that the side rail support retainer 26 can also be fixed to the front frame 8 by welding or other means, without providing through holes 28, 28 for passing through the front frame 8.

[0039] The retaining holes 29 and 30 have the same cross-sectional shape as the side rail posts 19, 20, 21 and 22, and are slightly larger in size than the side rail posts 19, 20, 21 and 22.

[0040] The side rail support retainer 26 also has retaining holes 29 and 30, into which any one of the side rail supports 19, 20, 21, or 22 of the side rails 15 and 16 is inserted from above, thereby retaining the side rail supports 19, 20, 21, or 22 of the side rails 15 and 16 in the retaining holes 29 and 30.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the side rail main body retainer 27 also includes: a mounting portion 31 formed on the lower part for mounting to the front frame 8, and two retaining grooves 32, 33 formed on the upper part that extend horizontally to the left and right.

[0042] The lower end (lower half) of retaining grooves 32 and 33 has a cross-sectional shape and size that is approximately the same as the lower end of the side rail bodies 17 and 18 of side rails 15 and 16. The width of the upper opening (upper half) is greater than the thickness of the side rail bodies 17 and 18. Furthermore, retaining grooves 32 and 33 have an inclined surface 35 that gradually narrows from the upper opening 34, which is wider than the lower thickness of the side rail bodies 17 and 18, to the lower end (lower half).

[0043] In the side rail main body retainer 27, the lower part of the side rail main body 17 and 18 of the side rails 15 and 16 is inserted from above into any one of the retaining grooves 32 and 33, so that the side rail main body 17 and 18 of the side rails 15 and 16 are retained in the retaining grooves 32 and 33.

[0044] Thus, when the side rails 15 and 16 are stored in the side rail receiving space 25 by the side rail main body retainer 27, the side rail main bodies 17 and 18 only need to be placed (inserted) into the retaining slots 32 and 33 from above, thereby easily carrying out the storage operation of the side rails 15 and 16.

[0045] Furthermore, in the side rail main body retainer 27, since the width of the upper opening 34 is greater than the thickness of the lower part of the side rail main bodies 17 and 18, the position of the side rails 15 and 16 to be stored can be slightly offset, thereby making the storage operation of the side rails 15 and 16 easier.

[0046] In addition, the side rail body retainer 27 retains the lower ends of the side rail bodies 17 and 18 by retaining grooves 32 and 33 extending to the left and right along the lower ends of the side rail bodies 17 and 18. Therefore, it can cooperate with the side rail support retainer 26 to reduce the swaying of the side rails 15 and 16 stored in the side rail receiving space 25.

[0047] For example, when the elongated side rail 16 is housed in the side rail receiving space 25, the side rail support retainer 26 and the side rail body retainer 27 can be positioned as follows: Figure 6 As shown in (a), the long side rail 16 is housed in a position equidistant from the bed 1 in the front view, and its protrusion from the footboard 10 is equidistant from both sides. In this case, as... Figure 6 As shown in (b), when the standard-sized side rail 15 is housed in the side rail receiving space 25, the side rail 15 does not protrude from one side of the footboard 10, and the amount of protrusion is the same as when the side rail 15 protrudes only from the other side of the footboard 10 and is housed with the long side rail 16. In this case, the amount of protrusion on both sides of the footboard 10 can be reduced, and even if the long side rail 16 is housed, the installation space of the bed 1 will not be affected, nor will it interfere with the operation of users, caregivers, etc. around the bed 1.

[0048] Furthermore, when the elongated side rail 16 is accommodated in the side rail receiving space 25, the side rail support retainer 26 and the side rail body retainer 27 can be arranged as follows: Figure 7 In the position shown in (a), i.e., in the front view, one side of the longer side rail 16 does not protrude from the footboard 10, but only the other side of the longer side rail 16 protrudes from the footboard 10. In this case, as... Figure 7 As shown in (b), when the standard-sized side rail 15 is accommodated in the side rail accommodating space 25, the side rail 15 does not protrude from either side of the footboard 10. In this case, one side of the footboard 10 is suitable for seamless installation against the wall of the room.

[0049] As described above, the bed 1 includes: a support platform 2 provided above the base 3 for a person to lie down; side rails 15 and 16 formed below the side rail bodies 17 and 18 with a pair of side rail supports 19, 20, 21, and 22, which are detachably provided on the left and / or right sides of the base 3; and a side rail receiving space 25 between the front or rear end board (footboard 10, headboard 11) of the base 3 and the front or rear end of the support platform 2, which is used to store the side rails 15 and 16 removed from the base 3.

[0050] It further includes: a side rail support retainer 26, which retains the side rails 15 and 16 by retaining the side rail supports 19, 20, 21, 22 on one side of the side rails 15 and 16; and a side rail body retainer 27, which retains the side rails 15 and 16 by retaining the lower part of the side rail bodies 17 and 18, so as to retain the side rails 15 and 16 housed in the side rail receiving space 25.

[0051] Therefore, in the bed 1 with the above structure, when the side rails 15 and 16, which are mounted on the side of the base 3 and used thereon, are removed and stored in the side rail receiving space 25, one of the side rail supports 19, 20, 21, and 22 of the side rails 15 and 16 is held by the side rail support retainer 26, and the lower part of the side rail bodies 17 and 18 is placed on the side rail body retainer 27, so that the side rails 15 and 16 can be easily stored and removed.

[0052] In addition, the side rail body retainer 27 of the bed 1 is also formed with retaining grooves 32 and 33 along the lower ends of the side rail bodies 17 and 18 for retaining the lower ends of the side rail bodies 17 and 18.

[0053] Therefore, by using a bed 1 with the above structure, the swaying of the side rails 15 and 16 stored in the side rail storage space 25 can be reduced.

[0054] In addition, the retaining grooves 32 and 33 in bed 1 are formed with upper openings 34, the width of which is greater than the thickness of the side rail bodies 17 and 18.

[0055] Therefore, when the bed 1 with the above structure is used, when the side rails 15 and 16 are stored in the side rail receiving space 25, there is a margin between the upper opening 34 of the side rail bodies 17 and 18 and the retaining slots 32 and 33. Even if the side rail bodies 17 and 18 are slightly deviated from the normal storage position, the side rail bodies 17 and 18 can still be inserted into the retaining slots 32 and 33, thereby further improving the operability of the side rail storage operation.
