[0009] <Embodiment 1> The present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The diaper changing tool in this embodiment is for holding a person whose diaper is to be changed lying on his / her back during diaper changing. In particular, the diaper changing tool in this embodiment is suitable for changing the diapers of people such as children, such as newborns, infants, and toddlers. However, the diaper changing tool of the present disclosure can be applied to any person.

[0010] [composition] Figures 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams showing the overall configuration of a diaper changing tool. Specifically, Figure 1(1-2) is a plan view, Figure 1(1-1) is a view of Figure 1(1-2) seen from above, and Figure 1(1-3) is a view of Figure 1(1-2) seen from below. Also, Figure 2(2-1) is a view of Figure 1(1-2) seen from the right side, and Figure 2(2-2) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Figure 1(1-2).

[0011] 1 and 2, the diaper changing tool first comprises a frame body 50 having a bottom plate 51 arranged on the bottom surface and wall portions 52 arranged to cover both sides. In other words, the frame body 50 is formed in a concave shape by the bottom plate 51 and both walls 52. The diaper changing tool further comprises a mounting unit 10 on which a person is mounted during diaper changing, in the concave portion of the frame body 50. The mounting unit 10 comprises a cover 20, and a first mounting portion 30 and a second mounting portion 40 housed within the cover 20. Each component will be described in detail below.

[0012] The cover 20 is made of a breathable material, for example, a cloth material. The cover 20 is formed in a bag shape with one end open and the other end and both sides closed. Specifically, the cover 20 is formed in a bag shape with only the upper end in FIG. 1 (1-2) open. The cover 20 is preferably a material having a predetermined thickness and elasticity, and further, at least the part corresponding to the buttocks placement surface of the first placement part 30 to be accommodated as described later should be more breathable, for example, formed in a mesh shape. However, the cover 20 is not necessarily required and may not be provided.

[0013] The first placement portion 30 is accommodated in the cover 20 at the closed end side located on the opposite side to the opening of the cover 20. The second placement portion 40 is accommodated in the cover 20 at the opening side of the cover 20. At this time, the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 are connected and accommodated in the cover 20 so that the second placement portion 40 is extended from the first placement portion 30. When changing a diaper, the person who wears the diaper lies on his / her back on the upper surface side of the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40, and the buttocks are placed on the first placement portion 30, and the upper body part of the person is placed on the second placement portion 40. More preferably, the person's head is placed on the second placement portion 40. Here, the configuration when the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 are removed from the cover 20 is shown in FIG. 3. Fig. 3 (3-1) shows a plan view of the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40, and Fig. 3 (3-2) shows a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Fig. 3 (3-1). Note that, although the present embodiment illustrates a case in which the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 are made of separate members, the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 may be integrally configured.

[0014] The first placement portion 30 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape and in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having a predetermined height. The first placement portion 30 has a first hollow portion 31 in which at least a part of the inside is formed as a hollow. The first hollow portion 31 is formed so as to communicate with a part of the upper surface of the first placement portion 30 and a part of the extension portion of the second placement portion 40 (the connection portion with the second placement portion 40). In other words, among the surfaces of the first placement portion 30, a part of the upper surface and a part of the side surface which is the extension portion of the second placement portion 40 are open to the outside and communicate with the first hollow portion 31.

[0015] A part of the open upper surface of the first placement portion 30 forms a buttock placement surface on which the buttocks of a person are placed. For this reason, the buttock placement surface, which is a part of the upper surface of the first placement portion 30, is formed to have a strength capable of supporting the buttocks of a person placed thereon, and is formed, for example, of a plate member having a predetermined thickness and having a plurality of through holes. A fan 32 is disposed on the inner side of the buttock placement surface of the first placement portion 30, that is, on the first hollow portion 31 side, which is the back side of the buttock placement surface, to suck air from the buttock placement surface into the first hollow portion 31. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, two fans 32 are disposed in parallel in the width direction of the diaper changing tool. However, the fans 32 may be disposed at any position as long as they can suck air from the buttock placement surface into the first hollow portion 31, and the number of fans 32 does not have to be two and may be any number.

[0016] The second placement section 40 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape and is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having a predetermined height. The second placement section 40 has a communication passage 41 (second hollow section) in which at least a part of the inside is formed as a hollow. The communication passage 41 is formed so that both ends of the second placement section 40, specifically, one end which is a connection point with the first placement section 30 (extension point from the first placement section 30) and the other end located on the opposite side are communicated. That is, one end of the communication passage 41 is communicated with the first hollow section 31 of the first placement section 30, and the other end forms an opening that opens to the outside. At this time, when a person's head is placed on the second placement section 40 as described above, the opening of the communication passage 41 is located away from the person's head. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, two communication passages 41 are formed in parallel in the width direction of the diaper changing tool. However, the communication passages 41 are not necessarily limited to being formed to extend in the above-mentioned direction, and the opening on the opposite side to the connecting end of the first placement portion 30 with the first hollow portion 31 may be formed in any position as long as it is open to the outside. In addition, the number of communication passages 41 does not have to be two, and may be any number.

[0017] As described above, since the first hollow portion 31 of the first mounting portion 30 and the communicating passage 41 of the second mounting portion 40 are connected to each other, the fan 32 of the first mounting portion 30 draws air from the buttocks mounting surface of the first mounting portion 30 into the first hollow portion 31 inside the first mounting portion 30, and this air flows from the first hollow portion 31 to the communicating passage 41 of the second mounting portion 40 and is discharged to the outside through the opening.

[0018] Next, the wall portion 52 of the frame 50 will be described in detail. The wall portion 52 is formed to have a predetermined length along the connection direction between the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 (the extension direction of the second placement portion 40 relative to the first placement portion 30). The wall portions 52 are erected on both sides of the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40, respectively, and are formed to have a predetermined height. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, two wall portions 52 are provided between the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40, but one wall portion 52 may be provided on only one side.

[0019] The wall 52 has a predetermined height and length as described above, and a predetermined thickness in the width direction. The wall 52 has a hollow portion 52a in which at least a part of the inside is hollow. An intake port 53 communicating with the hollow portion 52a is formed on the outer wall surface of the wall 52, that is, the wall surface opposite to the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40 side, and a second fan 54 that operates to draw air from the outside into the hollow portion 52a is provided on the inner side of the intake port 53. In particular, in this embodiment, the intake port 53 is formed near the end of the wall 52 on the second placement portion 40 side in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 1. That is, the intake port 53 is formed on the outer surface of the wall 52 on the opposite side, not on the wall surface on the head side of the person, near the position of the head of the person having the diaper changed. However, the position of the intake port 53 is not limited to the above-mentioned position, and may be formed at any position. The position of second fan 54 may be different from the position of suction port 53. For example, suction port 53 may be formed at the position described above, and second fan 54 may be provided at any position within cavity 52a.

[0020] Moreover, the wall portion 52 has an air outlet 55 formed on the inner wall surface, that is, the wall surface on the side of the first placement portion 30 and the second placement portion 40, for blowing out the air drawn into the cavity portion 52a from the cavity portion 52a to the outside as described above. In particular, in this embodiment, the air outlet 55 is formed near the end of the wall portion 52 on the first placement portion 30 side in the longitudinal direction, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and is formed on the inner surface of the wall portion 52 near the position of the buttocks of the person having the diaper changed. That is, the air outlet 55 is formed near the end on the opposite side in the longitudinal direction to the above-mentioned suction port 53, and is formed on the wall surface on the opposite side. However, the position of the air outlet 55 is not limited to the above-mentioned position, and may be formed at any position. Also, the number of air outlets 55 is not limited to one, and may be multiple.

[0021] Since the wall portion 52 is constructed as described above, the second fan 54 of the wall portion 52 draws air from the intake port 53 into the hollow portion 52a within the wall portion 52, and the air flows through the hollow portion 52a and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 55.

[0022] [Operation] Next, the operation during diaper changing using the above-mentioned diaper changing tool, particularly the air flow, will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Here, it is assumed that the person changing the diaper is a child, and that during diaper changing, the child lies on his / her back on the upper surfaces of the first and second placement sections 30, 40, with the buttocks positioned on the first placement section 30 and the head positioned inside the end of the second placement section 40.

[0023] First, in the wall portion 52, air is sucked by the second fan 54 from the intake port 53 formed on the outer wall surface into the hollow portion 52a inside the wall portion 52 (arrow Y1 in Figs. 4 and 5). Then, the air sucked into the wall portion 52 flows inside the hollow portion 52a of the wall portion 52 (arrow Y1' in Fig. 5), and is blown out from the outlet 55 to the vicinity of the buttocks placement surface of the first placement portion 30 (arrow Y2 in Figs. 4 and 5).

[0024] In addition, near the buttocks placement surface of the first placement portion 30, air is sucked into the first hollow portion 31 inside the first placement portion 30 by the fan 32 of the first placement portion 30 (arrow Y3 in Figs. 4 and 5). Then, the air sucked into the first hollow portion 31 flows from the first hollow portion 31 into the communication passage 41 of the second placement portion 40, and is discharged to the outside from the opening of the communication passage 41 (arrow Y4 in Figs. 4 and 5).

[0025] As described above, air flows in from the wall 52 near the buttocks placement surface of the first placement portion 30, and air is sucked into the first placement portion 30. This prevents odors from the person's excrement from remaining near the buttocks placement surface, and prevents both the person changing the diaper and the person being changed from feeling uncomfortable due to the odor. The air sucked into the first placement portion 30 is discharged from the end of the second placement portion 40. At this time, the air is discharged to a location farther away than the head of the person having the diaper changed, further preventing the person from feeling uncomfortable due to the odor.

[0026] Although the present disclosure has been described above with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Various modifications that can be understood by a person skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present disclosure within the scope of the present disclosure.
