Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handrails, specifically a bedside handrail for assisting in getting out of bed. Background Technology

[0002] As elderly people age, their physical functions and strength decline, making it difficult for them to bend over or bend back. Changing positions from lying down to sitting or vice versa becomes challenging, often requiring hand support. To address this, bedside handrails are typically installed. Additionally, disabled individuals and young children also need assistance when lying down or getting up. Current bedside handrail technology includes foldable, height-adjustable, and fixed types, all of which are static and primarily assist users in transitioning between lying and sitting positions. While traditional bedside handrails address the transition from lying down to sitting, they don't address the transition from lying down to standing. However, in reality, users' needs extend beyond simply changing positions. In most cases, the next step after changing from lying down to sitting is getting out of bed. Current bedside handrails not only fail to assist with this but can also hinder users from getting out of bed.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a bedside handrail to assist in getting out of bed. Utility Model Content

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0031] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 ;

[0032] A bedside handrail for assisting getting out of bed includes a base 1, which supports the handrail. The top of the base 1 is provided with a handrail mechanism 100, which is used to assist the elderly to get out of bed. The handrail mechanism 100 includes a support component 2 for adjusting the height of the handrail; a connecting component 3 for fixing it to the bedside with straps; and a rotating component 4 for unidirectional rotation of the handrail.

[0033] Furthermore, the support assembly 2 includes a support column 21, a lifting column 22, and a pin 23. The bottom of the support column 21 is installed on the base 1 by screws. The lifting column 22 is slidably connected to the top of the support column 21. The lifting column 22 is provided with multiple holes for the pin 23 to be inserted. The pin 23 is inserted between the support column 21 and the lifting column 22. The support column 21 plays a supporting role. The lifting column 22 slides up and down to adjust the height of the handrail. It can adapt to different types and heights of beds, making it easier for the elderly to grab the handrail.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting assembly 3 includes a back plate 31, a first sliding plate 32, and a second sliding plate 33. The back plate 31 is fixedly installed on the support column 21. The first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 are slidably installed on the back plate 31 and fixed by bolts. The first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 can be adjusted up and down by sliding through sliding holes 34. The back plate 31 has sliding holes 34. According to the height of the bed, the first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 can be adjusted up and down by sliding on the back plate 31. Then, the first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 are fixed to the back plate 31 by bolts. The first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 are respectively connected with straps and fixed to the side of the bed by straps, eliminating the need for installation with bolts or expansion screws. The first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 are both provided with connecting holes 35 for connecting straps.

[0035] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 4 includes a connecting shaft 41, a rotating box 43, and a first handrail 48. The connecting shaft 41 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting column 22 and is used to support the rotating box 43. The rotating box 43 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 41. The first handrail 48 is installed on the side wall of the rotating box 43. The first handrail 48 rotates in one direction. When the first handrail 48 is pushed forward, it drives the rotating box 43 to rotate. A ratchet 42 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting shaft 41. The ratchet 42 works in conjunction with a first pawl 44 and a second pawl 441. The first pawl 44, the second pawl 441, and a control block 46 are rotatably mounted inside the rotating box 43. The lower end of the control block 46 is connected to a lever 47. By moving the lever 47, the control block 46 is rotated. The control block 46 pushes the first pawl 44 or the second pawl 441 to engage with the ratchet 42, so that the rotating box 43 can only rotate in one direction. The rotating box 43 is also equipped with a first spring 45 and a second spring 451. The other end of the first spring 45 is connected to the side wall of the first pawl 44 and is used to push the first pawl 44 back. The other end of the second spring 451 is connected to the side wall of the second pawl 441 and is used to push the second pawl 441 back. When the elderly person grabs the first handrail 48 and sits up, the first handrail 48 will not be pulled. Then the elderly person pushes the first handrail 48 forward, and the first handrail 48 and the rotating box 43 can rotate. Then the elderly person pulls the first handrail 48 again and repeats the action until the elderly person sits on the edge of the bed and gets out of bed. This can help the user get from lying in bed to getting out of bed.

[0036] Example 2: Figure 7 ;

[0037] The rotating assembly 4 also includes a second armrest 49 and a limiting ring 491. The limiting ring 491 is snapped onto the outer wall of the first armrest 48. The limiting ring 491 is used to limit the second armrest 49 to prevent it from sliding and only allowing it to rotate. The second armrest 49 rotates and inserts into the outer wall of the first armrest 48. The second armrest 49 is located inside the limiting ring 491. When the elderly need to lie down, they can hold the second armrest 49 with their hands and slowly lie down. After the elderly are fully lying down, they can release the second armrest 49 to avoid the risk of their head hitting the headboard after they release the first armrest 48 and lie down directly.

[0038] Example 3: As Figure 8 ;

[0039] The bottom of the rotating box 43 is fixedly installed with a second sleeve 412, and the top of the lifting column 22 is fixedly installed with a first sleeve 411. The second sleeve 412 is slidably fitted on the outside of the first sleeve 411. The diameter of the second sleeve 412 is larger than the diameter of the first sleeve 411. The connecting shaft 41 is set inside the first sleeve 411 and the second sleeve 412. When the rotating box 43 rotates, it drives the second sleeve 412 to rotate on the outside of the first sleeve 411, which increases the stability of the rotating box 43 and the first handrail 48 when they rotate and prevents the first handrail 48 from shaking.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The bottom of the support column 21 is installed on the base 1 with screws. The lifting column 22 at the top of the support column 21 slides up and down to adjust the height of the armrest, which can adapt to different types and heights of beds, making it easier for the elderly to grab the armrest. Then, the first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 slide up and down on the back panel 31 to adjust the height. The first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33 are then fixed to the back panel 31 with bolts. Straps are connected to the first sliding plate 32 and the second sliding plate 33, which are then fixed to the bed side, eliminating the need for bolts or expansion screws. The toggle block 47 is activated, which drives the control block 46 to rotate. The control block 46 pushes the first pawl 44 or the second pawl 441 to engage with the ratchet 42, so that the rotating box 43 can only rotate in one direction, and the first armrest 48 can only rotate forward in one direction. The elderly grab the first armrest 48 and pull it. The first armrest 48 will not be pulled, allowing the elderly to sit up with leverage. The elderly then push the first armrest 48 forward, allowing it and the rotating box 43 to rotate. The elderly then pull the first armrest 48 again, moving their body towards the edge of the bed. This process is repeated until the elderly sit down and get out of bed, helping them transition from lying down to getting out of bed. To reverse the first armrest 48, simply move the lever 47 in the opposite direction. The first armrest 48 can only rotate in one direction, and the lever 47 controls its forward and reverse rotation. A limit ring 491 and a rotatable second armrest 49 can also be installed on the first armrest 48. When the elderly need to lie down, they can hold the second armrest 49 and slowly lie down. Once fully lying down, the elderly can release the second armrest 49, preventing the risk of their head hitting the headboard if they lie down directly after releasing the first armrest 48.
