Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to nursing pants designed to reduce the amount of care required when assisting a care recipient with some of the care, such as correcting their posture when sitting in a wheelchair, moving their body on a bed, transferring them to a wheelchair or bed, putting on and taking off pants when changing a diaper, and maintaining an upright position when guiding them to the toilet. [Background technology]

[0002] Until now, most of the trousers worn by those requiring care have been ready-made products, and they have not been designed to be easy to care for, with consideration given to the perspective of both the care recipient and the person requiring care.Furthermore, there has been a problem in that when the person receiving care hands over the trousers, they can tear in specific places, and there has not been any trousers for care that solve these problems.

[0003] Patent Document 1 shows trousers for people requiring care that were proposed to solve the above problems. The waist area is made stretchable in the circumferential direction, and multiple handles that contract in the circumferential direction to match the stretchability of the waist area of ​​the trousers are extended in the circumferential direction and are provided in a loop shape. This prevents the handles from being an eyesore when the trousers are worn, but the handles are provided on the front, back, left and right of the trousers, parallel to the edge of the trousers' waist-contacting part, and in order for the person being cared for to insert their hand into the handle, they must bring their arm as close as possible to the center line of the person being cared for, which creates the problem of poor usability. Furthermore, the nursing care garment shown in Patent Document 2 has the grips attached at approximately the center of the outer side of the buttocks storage compartment, and is provided symmetrically on the left and right, and the openings are horizontal and hanging down, which means that when the care recipient is lying on their back in bed, the grips are located below the buttocks of the care recipient, making it difficult for the care recipient to insert their hands into the grips and grasp them, resulting in poor usability.Furthermore, providing the grips on the buttocks puts pressure on the grips located on the buttocks of care recipients who spend a lot of time in bed, which can lead to bedsores.

Furthermore, the gripping part is positioned so that it does not come into direct contact with the body of the person requiring care who wears it, so there is no need to worry about bedsores or pressure sores, and the person can continue to live their life as usual. Furthermore, since the grip portion is inclined, the care receiver can provide assistance without having to get close to the center line of the body of the care-requiring person, which has the effect of making the device easy to use. Furthermore, as shown in claim 2, the handle is formed flat and is made of a stronger fabric than the trousers themselves, which has the effect of making it less likely to be damaged or torn even when the person being cared for holds it repeatedly. Furthermore, by using these nursing care pants, the person requiring care can use their remaining ability to lift their hips or stand, which is expected to allow them to maintain their ADL, extending their healthy life expectancy and ultimately reducing the amount of care required for the person receiving care. In recent years, nursing robots (power suits, transfer support robots, etc.) have been introduced into the field, but it is the care recipient who lifts the care recipient or transfers the care to the transfer support robot, and human power is indispensable in every situation. The nursing pants of this invention are effective as a nursing product that connects the machine and the person. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
