Technical Field
[0001] Welfare and care equipment
Background Art
[0002] In the current care for feces and urine, without using equipment, when changing diapers, the cleaning level is such that a clean situation up to the back of the buttocks cannot be seen. This leads to the resignation and endurance of the care recipient in the final stage of life, and both the caregiver and the care recipient have no choice but to endure halfway.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In feces and urine care, if the care recipient cannot be cleaned cleanly up to the back of the buttocks, they have to endure the denial of their personality due to resignation. Even if caregivers who cannot solve the problem have the same troubles, they have given up including due to economic factors. The facility operation companies have also given up.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] If there is a device that can be easily used by the elderly and can provide care even when the force drops by using a pulley, it will bring great relief to all concerned. If a single rope passes through a plurality of pulleys, the pulling force will be extremely reduced according to the number of pulleys, opening up a path for elderly care. There are countless devices for attaching pulley boxes, but the most aesthetically pleasing device is one that beautifully bends a single pipe, resulting in a mechanically beautiful shape. To visualize deep cleaning of the buttocks, a lifting belt must be kept under the waist at all times, and the belt must be connected to the rope on the pulley when lifting the waist. Instead of lifting suddenly, lift slowly and gradually while observing, and if the area is cleaned thoroughly, the person being cared for will be freed from pain they cannot alleviate themselves, and will find meaning in life by seeking "beauty" in all aspects. The caregiver will also feel relieved. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] The effectiveness depends on the means used, so the explanation will be repetitive, but the origin of the idea, as an architect, is that when caring for a person in their home, the entire house becomes permeated with a foul odor. Furthermore, by prioritizing elderly couples caring for each other, the painful tasks become natural, and the painful tasks for younger people are reduced, rather than being prioritized economically. A single pipe is bent in a mechanically aesthetic way, and a pulley box is attached to this pipe device. A single rope, integrated with the pulley, is then attached to a band from the bottom and pulled up. An optional measuring tape can be attached between the pull handle of the box and the pulley box to measure the force. Once you've raised it to the appropriate position, insert the ring attached to the end of the pull handle into the frame's retaining rod. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] The illustrated device can reduce the workload for elderly caregivers and helpers, and it is necessary to thoroughly clean deep inside the anus. [Examples]
[0009] there is no [Explanation of Symbols] (1) A frame that is mechanically and beautifully bent (2) Pulley box (the number of pulleys varies depending on the model and the specifications used) (3) Belt on the side of the person being cared for (with a soft sheath tube to prevent bedsores) (4) Guide frame for moving the pulley box left and right (5) Sheath tube (6) Insert rod to stop the pull handle (7) Pull handle (with stopper ring) rope (8) Belt lifting rope
Claims
[Claim 1] From both a mechanical and aesthetic standpoint, a pulley box is attached to a single bent pipe, connected to the care recipient's waist belt with a single rope, and the pull handle is pulled until the appropriate waist-raising position is reached, at which point the ring on the pull handle is fitted into multiple retaining pins on the frame. To thoroughly clean the buttocks, a device is used to lift the bedridden patient's waist with a belt and visually clean deep inside the buttocks.
