Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a treatment device.

Background Art

[0002] Devices for pulling a human body lying on a bed or the like are known. For example, a commercially available vacuum cleaner in a household or a device that utilizes the air suction force of a vacuum device and appropriately combines a cylinder, a piston, wires, rollers, etc. inside the bed to multiply the pulling force to an appropriate value is known. In this device, first, the person to be pulled lies on the bed. At this time, the person holds the hand-held SW of the vacuum cleaner outside the bed and the air release valve operation string and keeps it in an operable state. A band for putting over the shoulder is attached to a fixed pipe above the head of the bed, and a band for attaching the feet to a movable body is provided on the foot side. Further, a waist band is attached near the waist. When the hand-held SW is turned on, the piston in the cylinder is sucked, and the connected wire is pulled through an appropriate number of rollers. The movable part connected to the other end of this wire moves, and the feet can be pulled. In this case, based on the principle of a movable pulley, a force multiplication proportional to the number of rollers can be obtained with respect to the suction force of the vacuum cleaner. Incidentally, a check valve and an air release valve are attached to the suction port of the cylinder. When the pulling is finished, the air release valve operation string is pulled, and by opening the valve, outside air enters the cylinder, the wire loosens, and the movable body returns to its original position by the spring force of the spring, and the pulling ends.

[0010] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the treatment device according to the embodiment. Figure 2 is a plan view showing the treatment device according to the embodiment. Figure 3 is a transparent plan view showing the treatment device according to the embodiment. Figure 4 is a side view showing the treatment device according to the embodiment. Figure 5 is a bottom view showing the treatment device according to the embodiment. The treatment device 10 of this embodiment is a device that can be attached to, for example, a treatment bed 100 for chiropractic treatment. The treatment device 10 includes a head tensioning platform 1, a foot tensioning platform 2, and rail guides 3 and 4 (see Figure 3). The head tensioning platform 1 is positioned at the head end of the treatment bed 100 and has the function of pulling the human body towards the head end of the treatment bed 100. The head tensioning rest 1 has a first support part 11 and a first moving mechanism 12.

[0011] The first support portion 11 includes a hook 11a for supporting a support member (not shown, such as a rope, chain, or belt) that is attached to the human body, and a long member 11b that is attached to the rail guide 3. By attaching member 11b to rail guide 3, hook 11a can move along the longitudinal direction of the treatment bed 100.

[0012] The first moving mechanism 12 includes a conversion mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Specifically, the conversion mechanism has a rack gear 121 disposed on the member 11b, a shaft 122, a pinion gear 123, a handle 124, and a ratchet gear 125. The rack gear 121 is a plate-shaped gear. The scale of the gear is not particularly limited. For example, the scale pitch is 2 mm. The shaft 122 is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the member 11b. The pinion gear 123 is disposed at a position corresponding to the member 11b of the shaft 122. The handle 124 is disposed at both ends of the shaft 122. The ratchet gear 125 is provided to limit the moving direction of the first moving mechanism 12 to one side.

[0013] When the user grips and rotates the handle 124, the shaft 122 rotates. When the shaft 122 rotates, power is transmitted to the rack gear 121 via the pinion gear 123, and the member 11b moves. The foot tension hanger 2 is disposed on the lower side of the feet of the treatment bed 100 and has a function of pulling the human body to the lower side of the feet of the treatment bed 100. The foot tension hanger 2 has a second support portion 21 and a second moving mechanism 22.

[0014] The second support portion 21 has four hooks 21a for supporting a support member (such as a rope, a chain, a belt, etc.), which is not shown, attached to the human body, and a long member 21b attached to the rail guide 4. By attaching the member 21b to the rail guide 4, each hook 21a can move along the longitudinal direction of the treatment bed 100.

[0015] The second moving mechanism 22 includes a conversion mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Specifically, the conversion mechanism has a rack gear 221 disposed on the member 21b, a shaft 222, a pinion gear 223, a handle 224, and a ratchet gear 225. The rack gear 221 is a plate-shaped gear. The scale of the gear is not particularly limited. For example, the scale pitch is 2 mm. The shaft 222 is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the member 21b. The pinion gear 223 is disposed at a portion corresponding to the member 21b of the shaft 222. The handle 224 is disposed at both ends of the shaft 222. The ratchet gear 225 is provided to limit the moving direction of the second moving mechanism 22 to one direction.

[0016] When the user grips and rotates the handle 224, the shaft 222 rotates. When the shaft 222 rotates, power is transmitted to the rack gear 221 via the pinion gear 223, and the member 21b moves.

[0017] By the way, the first moving mechanism 12 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 30 that restricts the operating direction to one direction. The ratchet mechanism 30 has the aforementioned ratchet gear 125, a shaft 31, a ratchet pawl 32, and a grip handle 33. The shaft 31 is disposed near the shaft 122.

[0018] The ratchet pawl 32 is disposed at a position on the shaft 31 corresponding to the ratchet gear 125. When the ratchet pawl 32 engages with the ratchet gear 125, the movement of the first moving mechanism 12 is restricted.

[0019] The grip handle 33 is disposed at both ends of the shaft 31. By gripping the grip handle 33 and rotating it in a predetermined direction, the engagement between the ratchet gear 125 and the ratchet pawl 32 can be released.

[0020] Furthermore, the second moving mechanism 22 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 40 that restricts the direction of movement to one side. The ratchet mechanism 40 includes the aforementioned ratchet gear 225, a shaft 41, a ratchet pawl 42, and a thumb handle 43. Axis 41 is located in the vicinity of axis 222.

[0021] The ratchet pawl 42 is positioned on the shaft 41 at a location corresponding to the ratchet gear 225. When the ratchet pawl 42 engages with the ratchet gear 225, the movement of the second moving mechanism 22 is restricted.

[0022] The thumb handles 43 are located at both ends of the shaft 41. By gripping the thumb handles 43 and rotating them in a predetermined direction, the engagement between the ratchet gear 225 and the ratchet pawl 42 can be released. Next, an example of the use of the treatment device 10 will be explained. First, the person receiving treatment is fitted with footgear (not shown) and headgear (not shown). The footgear and headgear are equipped with the support members described above. Next, the person to be treated is asked to lie face up on the treatment bed 100. Next, attach the support member of the footgear to the hook 21a of the foot tensioning stand 2. In this state, perform the treatment (massage, etc.) on the person receiving treatment. Next, attach the headgear support member to the hook 11a of the head tensioning stand 1. Perform the treatment on the patient in this state.

[0023] The practitioner rotates the handle 124, which activates the rack gear 121 and moves the head tensioning platform 1 away from the treatment bed 100. At this time, the ratchet pawl 32 engages with the ratchet gear 125, restricting the movement of the first moving mechanism 12.

[0024] The practitioner adjusts the tension to an appropriate degree during the treatment. The practitioner also rotates the handle 224, which activates the rack gear 221, causing the foot tensioning platform 2 to move away from the treatment bed 100. At this time, the ratchet pawl 42 engages with the ratchet gear 225, restricting the movement of the second movement mechanism 22. The practitioner adjusts the tension to an appropriate degree during the treatment.

[0025] After the procedure, the practitioner disengages the ratchet gear 125 and the ratchet pawl 32 by grasping the thumb handle 33 and rotating it in a predetermined direction. The practitioner also disengages the ratchet gear 225 and the ratchet pawl 42 by grasping the thumb handle 43 and rotating it in a predetermined direction.

[0026] By rotating the handle 124 in the reverse direction, the rack gear 121 is activated, causing the head tension support 1 to move closer to the treatment bed 100. Similarly, by rotating the handle 224 in the reverse direction, the rack gear 221 is activated, causing the foot tension support 2 to move closer to the treatment bed 100. The practitioner removes the footgear support member from hook 21a and the headgear support member from hook 11a.

[0027] As described above, the treatment device 10 of the embodiment includes a head tensioning stand 1 positioned on the head side of the treatment bed 100 and equipped with a first support part 11 capable of supporting a support member attached to the human body, and a first movement mechanism 12 capable of moving the first support part 11 toward or toward the human body; and a foot tensioning stand 2 positioned on the foot side of the bed and equipped with a second support part 21 capable of supporting a support member attached to the human body, and a second movement mechanism 22 capable of moving the second support part 21 toward or toward the human body. Therefore, the human body can be pulled and treated from both the head side and the foot side.

[0028] Although the treatment apparatus of the present invention has been described above based on the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the configuration of each part can be replaced with any configuration having a similar function. Furthermore, other arbitrary components or processes may be added to the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may be a combination of any two or more configurations (features) from the embodiments described above. [Explanation of Symbols]
