Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wheelchair towing rope for a welfare vehicle, in which a wheelchair towing rope 1 installed in a partial towing rope storage area 2 on the floor behind the driver's seat is pulled out and attached directly to an elevator A. [Background technology]

[0002] This type of wheelchair towing rope 1 for welfare vehicles is installed in the floor area 2 behind the driver's seat inside the vehicle, and every time it is used, it is necessary to go to the trouble of getting into the welfare vehicle to the location 2 behind the driver's seat, retrieve the wheelchair towing rope 1, and pull it out, which is troublesome and requires taking your eyes off the user during that time, and it is not reasonable to be in a state where you do not know what will happen even for a short time, and this is what this device is designed to improve these situations. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Even if it is only for a short time, not all places are in good conditions for parking a wheelchair C. If you take your eyes off it and leave the area, the wheelchair C will move on its own. If there is a lot of traffic, it is not impossible for a car to hit the wheelchair C. In rainy weather, the user has to go inside the car to retrieve the wheelchair towing rope 1 for a welfare vehicle wheelchair from the towing rope storage location 2 just behind the driver's seat, and while doing so, the user will get wet under the small rear hatch 6, and during that time, the risk of accidents will increase. This is a wheelchair towing rope for a welfare vehicle that was devised to improve these issues. Means for solving the problems

[0004] The solution to this problem is to eliminate the need to go all the way to the back of the driver's seat to get the towing rope 1. Towing rope 1 is extended to the folded part 5 of the rope, and from there, either towing rope 4 with a hook at the end of a curved hook or towing rope 4' secured with a magnet is attached to the lift ramp at the bottom part B of the elevator A, and when the lift ramp is unfolded, it is positioned so that the user in the wheelchair and the caregiver are directly facing each other and within reach (Figure 7). As a result, when the lift ramp is in use, towing rope 4 or 4' is attached to the end of the unfolded lift ramp, so the wheelchair with the user in it (Figure 7) is right in front of the caregiver, and the caregiver can attach towing rope 1 in that state without moving their body, making it an excellent system of use, and the elevator can be started immediately without causing any stress to the user. This system of use of the present invention can solve the problem of wheelchair towing ropes for welfare vehicles. Effects of the invention

[0005] The wheelchair towing rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention eliminates the need to enter the vehicle to retrieve the towing rope 1. It can stop the wheelchair carrying the user if it starts moving on its own, and if a vehicle approaches, the operator can take action to avoid a disaster by working nearby the wheelchair. The purpose of this invention is to safely and smoothly load the user into a welfare vehicle in a natural environment without placing any strain on the user. It is important to minimize the user's stress, as they are constantly confined to the narrow space of the vehicle. While it is natural for caregivers to enter and exit welfare vehicles, this is not a welcome behavior for the user, and caregivers would prefer to avoid turning their backs to the user, even if it is unavoidable. The wheelchair towing rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention provides a means to solve all of these problems. As a result, when using the wheelchair tow rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention, whereas the conventional procedure required going to the position shown in Figure 5 to retrieve the tow rope, proceeding backward through the positions shown in Figures 5 and 6, then turning around as shown in Figure 7 to set the tow rope 1 on the wheelchair, the procedure shown in Figures 5 and 6 is completely eliminated when using the wheelchair tow rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention, which requires only unfolding the elevator A, resulting in a hassle-free wheelchair tow rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention that is user-friendly. To attach the tow rope to wheelchair C, which cannot be attached to the elevator using the wheelchair tow rope system for a welfare vehicle of the present invention, the user must go behind the driver's seat as shown in Figure 5 and pull out the tow rope 1 as in the conventional procedure. Furthermore, when the wheelchair tow rope for a welfare vehicle of the present invention is always used as a care vehicle, there is no need to store it in the tow rope storage location 2 shown in Figure 5; it can be left attached to the elevator at all times, making this a wheelchair tow rope for a welfare vehicle that is user-friendly and caregiver-friendly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view of a storage location 2 for a traction rope 1 according to the present invention and the flow path of the traction rope from there to an elevator A. FIG. [Figure 2]This is a left side view showing the towing rope 1 installed so as to surround the elevator A, and shows the state in which the towing rope 1 is extended to the folding part 5 of the slope and then reaches the floor part of the welfare vehicle B. [Figure 3] This is a plan view of the roof removed, showing the towing rope 1 according to the present invention in a storage location 2, with the ramp 3 in use and running along the floor of the welfare vehicle B, ready to be attached to a wheelchair using the towing rope 1 with a hook or magnet attached to the end. [Figure 4] A front view of the elevator in a state where the towing rope 1 can be used. 1' at the tip of the slope is the length of the towing rope above 5 on the elevator, and indicates that it has been extended by that amount. [Figure 5] User B has gone to retrieve the towing rope 1. At this point, caregiver B is facing his back (buttocks) towards User A. [Figure 6] Caregiver B has pulled out the towing rope 1. At this point, Caregiver B is still facing his back (buttocks) to User A. [Figure 7] Caregiver B takes out towing rope 1 and turns it from rear-facing to forward-facing at the wheelchair (this is only necessary the first time it is set up and is not required from the second time onwards, as it can be set on the elevator), faces User A and attaches the towing rope to the wheelchair using a hook or magnet. Mode for carrying out the invention

[0007] When using the wheelchair for the first time, the wheelchair towing rope 1 is pulled out from the towing rope storage area 2 and the user proceeds to the front of wheelchair user A in Figure 7 and attaches the towing rope. For the second and subsequent times on the same day, the wheelchair towing rope is attached directly to elevator A, making it a user-friendly system for both user A and caregiver B. Since it is attached directly to the elevator A, a towing rope 4 with a hook attached to the end of the towing rope 1 or a towing rope 4' secured with a magnet can be secured in place at the bottom of the elevator ramp in the state of 4.'4 (this is an explanation on the drawing, and both can be 4.4 with a hook, or 4'4' secured with a magnet) and set directly on the elevator, making it a welfare vehicle wheelchair towing rope with a configuration that allows it to be easily and quickly attached to the wheelchair.
