Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a dome device for a bed, which is provided with a dome member that can cover the head while lying on the bed. [Background technology]

[0002] When lying down in bed to sleep, it is difficult to fall asleep if the surroundings are bright during the day. To address this issue, a device is known that provides an openable shade (corresponding to a dome member) that covers the head, and by closing the shade to a position that covers the head, it blocks out external light and makes it easier to fall asleep. This device is configured so that the shade can be moved out of the position covering the head by swinging so that it does not get in the way when waking up (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-99525 A (Figs. 1 and 2) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned conventional shades, the shade can only swing between a position that covers the head and a position that opens the head, so if the shade is not swung significantly toward the open position when getting up, the head will hit the shade when getting up.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a dome device for a bed which prevents a user's head from hitting the dome member when getting up. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the dome device for a bed according to the present invention is attached to a bed and has a dome member that can swing between a position that covers the head of a person lying on the bed and a position that opens it, and is characterized in that a lifting member that can move in a direction toward and away from the head is provided, and the dome member is engaged with this lifting member so that it can swing freely.

[0007] Since the dome member is engaged with the lifting member, when the lifting member rises, the dome member also rises accordingly. This lifting of the dome member separates the dome member from the bed, ensuring a large space for the user to stand up.

[0008] In the above-mentioned configuration, the dome member can be provided so as to be able to stop at any intermediate position within the swing range of the dome member.

[0009] It is desirable that the dome member be engaged with the lifting member so that it can be swung toward at least the head opening position by application of an external force.

[0010] It is desirable that at least one of the lifting and lowering of the lifting member and the rocking of the dome member be electrically performed by the operation of a person lying on the bed.

[0011] It is desirable to provide the lifting member with a blowing section that blows air whose temperature, humidity and cleanliness have been balanced into the space enclosed by the dome member when the dome member is in a position to cover the face.

[0012] It is desirable to provide a holder capable of holding an image display member such as a tablet on the inside of the dome member. Effect of the Invention

[0013] As is clear from the above explanation, in the present invention, the dome portion covering the head rises and falls, so that the position of the dome member can be changed between when going to sleep and when waking up, and by moving the dome member away from the bed when waking up, the risk of the head hitting the dome member can be reduced even if the dome member is only slightly open. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a dome device for a bed according to the present invention is attached to a bed; [Diagram 2] FIG. 13 shows the ascending and descending states of the dome member. [Diagram 3] A diagram showing the head side of the bed in an upright position and the dome member in an open or closed position. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] 1 and 2, B is a bed. As will be described later, this bed B has a reclining function that can electrically raise the head side by a mechanism not shown. A lifting device 1 equipped with an electric cylinder is attached to the head side of this bed B. This lifting device 1 raises and lowers a lifting member 2 relative to the bed, and a dome member 3 is engaged with this lifting member 2 so that it can swing freely.

[0016] 2(a) shows the state where the lifting member 2 is at the upper end position, and FIG. 2(b) shows the state where the lifting member 2 is at the lower end position. As shown in FIG. 1, the lifting member 2 is provided with a pair of speakers 22 capable of producing music or the like, and a pair of temperature-controlled air outlets 23 are provided on the outside of the speakers 22. An air conditioner (not shown) is connected to the temperature-controlled air outlets 23, and air with a controlled temperature, humidity, and cleanliness suitable for the user is blown out, and the blowing direction can be changed by a louver provided on the temperature-controlled air outlets 23. The lifting member 2 is also provided with an outlet 24 that blows out air containing a scent such as aroma mist. A holding portion (not shown) is provided on the inside of the dome member 3 to detachably engage with an image display device such as a tablet.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3, the lifting device 1 is fixed to the bed B. Therefore, even if the head side of the bed B is raised, the lifting device 1 and the head side of the bed B are lifted together, and therefore the lifting member 2 and the dome member 3 are also lifted in the same manner.

[0018] Fig. 3 shows the state where the lifting member 2 is at the uppermost position, i.e., the state shown in Fig. 2(a), and the dome member 3 is opened or closed. The dome member 3 can be opened or closed manually relative to the lifting member 2, and can be stopped at any position during opening or closing. The dome member 3 may be opened or closed electrically, but it is preferable to interpose a clutch between the opening / closing mechanism (not shown) of the dome member 3 and the dome member 3 so that the dome member 3 can be swung by hand at least in the opening direction.

[0019] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
