Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a footrest that prevents a person lying in bed for a long time from developing pointed feet.

Background Art

[0002] Pointed feet refer to a condition where the ankle joint is constricted in a position bent towards the sole of the foot. When a person has pointed feet, they cannot place their heels on the ground, resulting in a state of walking on their toes, which affects the body's support function. When lying in bed for a long time, a person is likely to develop pointed feet (habitual pointed feet) due to the weight of the feet and the pressure of the comforter.

[0003] As a footrest for a bed that prevents pointed feet, there are those composed of a support member, a rotation receiving member, a rotating member, and a contact plate (see, for example, the first invention of Patent Document 1), and those that can be composed of a base, a support shaft, a support portion, and a contact plate (see, for example, the second invention of Patent Document 1).

[0004] In the bed footrest 1 of the first invention (Figs. 1 to 4) of Patent Document 1, a pair of support members 5 are detachably fixed to the foot bottom 102 at both ends in the width direction of the bed. A pair of rotating members 7 and a pair of rotation receiving members 6 rotate relative to each other to adjust the angle of the contact plate 2. The pair of rotating members 7 move along a pair of guides 33 formed on the back surface of the contact plate 2 to adjust the position of the contact plate 2 in the height direction of the bed. The rotation receiving member 6 moves in the longitudinal direction of the bed to adjust the position of the contact plate 2 in the longitudinal direction of the bed.

[0005] In the bed footrest 1 of the second invention (Fig. 12) of Patent Document 1, the base 81 is detachably fixed to the footboard 103 of the bed. The support shaft 82 extends in the width direction of the bed and is fixed to the base 81. A pair of support portions are rotatably and fixably supported at two positions in the width direction of the bed on the support shaft 82. The contact plate 83 is integrally provided on each support portion.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] The footrest 1 for a bed according to the first invention and the second invention of Patent Document 1 is effective in preventing talipes equinus by bringing the soles of the feet of a person lying in the bed over a long period of time into contact with the contact plates 2 and 83 in a state of being attached to the bed.

[0008] However, since the footrest 1 for a bed according to the first invention of Patent Document 1 has the above-described configuration, it has a size in the width direction of the bed and a complicated structure, so the manufacturing cost increases.

[0009] Moreover, since the footrest 1 for a bed according to the first invention of Patent Document 1 has the above-described configuration, when a countermeasure against talipes equinus is necessary, the support member 5 is attached to the foot bottom 102 and used, and when a countermeasure against talipes equinus is not necessary, it is removed and the footrest 1 having a size in the width direction of the bed needs to be stored. Therefore, a space for storing the footrest 1 is required, and it takes time and effort for attachment and detachment.

[0010] Also, since the footrest 1 for a bed according to the second invention of Patent Document 1 has the above-described configuration, when a countermeasure against talipes equinus is necessary, the base portion 81 is attached to the footboard 103 and used, and when a countermeasure against talipes equinus is not necessary, it is removed and the footrest 1 needs to be stored. Therefore, a space for storing the footrest 1 is required, and it takes time and effort for attachment and detachment.

[0011] The object of the present invention is to provide a footrest for a bed that has a simple and compact structure, can reduce manufacturing costs, can be immediately placed in the use position when anti-toe-pointing measures are required, and can be immediately placed in the standby position when anti-toe-pointing measures are not required, is easy to use, and does not require storage space.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0012] The footrest for a bed according to the present invention is, for solving the above problems, a fixture attached to the central portion in the width direction at the bottom of the legs of the bed, a support member connected to the fixture and rising from a position on the footboard side of the footboard-side edge of the mattress on the bed, a base portion rotatably connected about a first width direction axis above the upper surface of the horizontally placed mattress at the upper part of the support member, a footrest portion directly or indirectly attached to the tip of the base portion, and includes a use position in which the base portion is tilted toward the headboard side about the first width direction axis and the footrest portion is placed on the mattress, and a standby position in which the base portion is raised about the first width direction axis and the footrest portion is moved away from the mattress can be switched.

[0013] Thus, the footrest for a bed according to the present invention consists of a fixture attached to the central portion in the width direction at the bottom of the legs of the bed, a support member connected to the fixture and rising, a base portion rotatable about a first width direction axis with respect to the upper part of the support member, and a footrest portion. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the footrest for a bed can be suppressed with a simple and compact structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the base portion of the footrest for the bed is rotatably connected to the upper portion of the support portion about a first width direction axis positioned above the upper surface of the horizontally placed mattress. Thereby, the footrest portion at the use position abuts against the sole of the user while being supported by the base portion that descends as it goes toward the headboard side. Therefore, even if the footrest portion is pushed toward the footboard side by the sole of the user, the base portion does not rotate upward, and the position of the footrest portion is stabilized.

[0015] Furthermore, the use position where the footrest portion is arranged on the mattress and the standby position where the footrest portion is moved away from the mattress can be easily switched by rotating the base portion and the like about the first width direction axis. Therefore, it can be immediately set to the use position when countermeasures against pointed feet are required, and it can be immediately set to the standby position when countermeasures against pointed feet are not required, which is convenient.

[0016] Furthermore, when countermeasures against pointed feet are not required, it may be set to the standby position, and there is no need to remove and store it, so no storage space is required. Furthermore, since the footrest for the bed is located at the center in the width direction of the bed, the ease of operation does not change regardless of whether the caregiver is on one side or the other side in the width direction of the bed.

[0017] Furthermore, with the user in a posture of eating while the bed is in a position where the footrest for the bed is in the use position and the sole of the user's foot is in contact with the footrest portion of the footrest for the bed, the sole of the foot is surely grounded during the user's meal. Thereby, the posture of the user during the meal is improved, and chewing and swallowing can be performed efficiently, so that fatigue and aspiration during the meal can be suppressed.

[0018] Here, a preferred embodiment is that the frictional torque about the first width direction axis is made larger than the rotational torque about the first width direction axis due to the weight of the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis.

[0019] According to such a configuration, since the frictional torque around the first width direction axis is greater than the rotational torque around the first width direction axis due to the self-weight of the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis, in the posture from the use position to the standby position of the footrest for the bed, the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis does not move by its own weight. Therefore, since the position of the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis is held, inconveniences such as the footrest portion suddenly rotating and hitting the user's foot do not occur.

[0020] Moreover, in a preferred embodiment, the footrest portion is directly or indirectly attached to the tip of the slide body that advances and retreats with respect to the base portion.

[0021] According to such a configuration, the longitudinal position of the footrest portion on the bed can be adjusted by advancing and retreating the slide body with respect to the base portion. Therefore, the position of the footrest portion can be easily adjusted according to the position of the user's foot without moving the position of the user's foot in the longitudinal direction of the bed.

[0022] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the slide body is positionable with respect to the base portion at a position advanced from the base portion.

[0023] According to such a configuration, by positioning the slide body with respect to the base portion at an appropriate position where the slide body has advanced from the base portion, the state in which the position of the footrest portion is adjusted according to the position of the user's foot can be maintained.

[0024] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the footrest portion is rotatable around a second width direction axis with respect to the tip of the slide body.

[0025] According to such a configuration, since the footrest portion can rotate around the second width direction axis in a state where the footrest portion is in contact with the sole of the user's foot, the footrest portion can be adjusted to the shape of the sole of the user's foot.

[0026] Also, in a preferred embodiment, the footrest portion can be rotated at an angle with respect to the tip of the slide body, and the rotation angle can be determined with respect to the tip.

[0027] According to such a configuration, by determining the rotation angle of the slide body at an appropriate angle at which the footrest portion rotates with respect to the tip of the slide body, it is possible to maintain a state in which the angle of the footrest portion is adjusted to fit the user's sole.

[0028] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the footrest portion is a cushioning material having an elliptical or circular shape when viewed in the width direction.

[0029] According to such a configuration, at the use position of the footrest for the bed, the footrest portion, which is a cushioning material having an elliptical or circular shape when viewed in the width direction, abuts against the user's sole. Therefore, the footrest portion can be abutted according to the arch of the user's sole and the load can be dispersed, so that it has a massage effect and the feeling of use is good.

[0030] The "leg bottom" to which the footrest for the bed according to the present invention is attached is a concept including the leg bottom and an extension bottom attached to the leg bottom.

Effects of the Invention

[0031] As described above, according to the footrest for the bed according to the present invention, the following effects are mainly achieved. (1) The manufacturing cost of the footrest for the bed can be suppressed by a simple and compact configuration. (2) Even if the footrest portion is pushed toward the footboard side by the user's sole, the base portion does not rotate upward, and the position of the footrest portion is stabilized. (3) It can be immediately set to the use position when countermeasures against pointed feet are required, and it can be immediately set to the standby position when countermeasures against pointed feet are not required, so it is easy to use. (4) When countermeasures against pointed feet are not required, it can be set to the standby position, and there is no need to remove and store it, so no storage space is required. (5) Since the footrest for the bed is positioned at the center in the width direction of the bed, the ease of operation remains the same regardless of whether the assistant is on one side or the other side in the width direction of the bed. (6) With the bed in a position where the user can eat and the footrest for the bed in the use position, by having the user place the soles of their feet against the footrest portion of the footrest for the bed while eating, firm grounding of the soles of the feet during the user's meal is ensured. Thereby, the posture of the user during the meal is improved, and chewing and swallowing can be performed efficiently, so that fatigue and aspiration during the meal can be suppressed.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0033] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The bed in this specification is substantially rectangular in plan view. In this specification, the direction parallel to the long side of the rectangle is the "longitudinal direction" (see arrow L in the figure), and the direction parallel to the short side of the rectangle is the "width direction" (see arrow W in FIG. 1).

[0034] Also, the direction approaching the footboard from within the bed is the "footboard side" (see arrow F in the figure), and the direction approaching the headboard from within the bed is the "headboard side" (see arrow H in the figure).

[0035] In the bed of this specification, a front view is a view seen from the right side of the user (see reference sign U in the figure) in a state where the user of the bed is lying on his / her back.

[0036] <Bed> As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1 and the front views of FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the bed 10 with the footrest 1 for a bed according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a base unit 11 placed on the floor surface, a lifting frame 12 connected to the base unit 11 so as to be able to move up and down, a bottom 13 attached to the upper surface of the lifting frame 12, and a headboard 14 and a footboard 15 attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction L of the frame body. Here, the frame body is the lifting frame 12 and an extension frame G (FIGS. 2 to 4).

[0037] The bottom 13 includes a back bottom 13A, a seat bottom 13B, a knee bottom 13C, a first leg bottom 13D, and a second leg bottom 13E which is a bottom extender. The back bottom 4A is arranged at a position to support the head and back of the user U, the seat bottom 4B is arranged at a position to support the waist of the user U, the knee bottom 4C is arranged at a position to support the knees of the user U, and the first leg bottom 13D and the second leg bottom 13E which are the leg bottoms D are arranged at positions to support the legs of the user U.

[0038] The bed 10 is, for example, a four-motor bed and can perform height adjustment, as well as head raising, back raising, and knee raising.

[0039] The user U of the bed 10 lies on the mattress 20 on top of the bottom 13, with the head placed on the pillow P towards the headboard 14 side and the feet towards the footboard 15 side.

[0040] <Footrest for bed> As shown in the front views of FIGS. 2 to 4, the enlarged front views of the main parts of FIGS. 5A to 6, and the perspective view of FIG. 7, the footrest 1 for a bed according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixture 2, a support 3, a base part 4, a slide body 5, a footrest part 6, and the like.

[0041] The fixture 2 is attached to the central part in the width direction W of the bottom D of the leg of the bed 10. The support 3 is connected to the fixture 2 and rises from a position on the footboard side F rather than the edge 20A on the footboard side of the mattress 20 on the bed 10. The base part 4 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the support 3 around a first width direction axis J1 located above the upper surface 20B of the horizontally placed mattress 20. The slide body 5 moves forward and backward with respect to the base part 4, and the footrest part 6 is attached directly or indirectly to the tip end E2 (FIGS. 5A to 6) of the slide body 5. In the present embodiment, the footrest part 6 is rotatable around a second width direction axis J2 with respect to the tip end E2 of the slide body 5.

[0042] As shown in the enlarged front views of the main parts of FIGS. 5A to 6, the end face on the footboard side F of the support 3 of the footrest 1 for a bed abuts against the mattress stopper 21 of the second leg bottom 13E which is a bottom extender. Therefore, the support 3 is firmly supported by the fixture 2 and the mattress stopper 21.

[0043] The footrest 1 for a bed can be switched between a use position A where the base part 4 is tilted toward the headboard side H about the first width direction axis J1 and the footrest part 6 is placed on the mattress 20, and a standby position B where the base part 4 is raised about the first width direction axis J1 and the footrest part 6 is moved away from the mattress 20. In the use position A of the footrest 1 for a bed, the footrest part 6 abuts against the sole I of the user U.

[0044] Thus, the footrest 1 for a bed according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a fixture 2 attached to the central portion in the width direction W of the bottom D of the leg of the bed 10, a support 3 that stands up connected to the fixture 2, a base part 4 rotatable about the first width direction axis J1 with respect to the upper part of the support 3, a slide body 5 that moves forward and backward with respect to the base part 4, and a footrest part 6 supported by the slide body 5. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the footrest 1 for a bed can be suppressed with a simple and compact configuration.

[0045] Also, the base part 4 of the footrest 1 for a bed is rotatably connected about the first width direction axis J1 above the upper surface 20B of the horizontal mattress 20 to the upper part of the support 3. Thereby, the footrest part 6 in the use position A abuts against the sole I of the user U while being supported by the base part 4 that descends as it goes toward the headboard side H. Therefore, even if the footrest part 6 is pushed toward the footboard side F by the sole I of the user U, the base part 4 does not rotate upward, and the position of the footrest part 6 is stabilized.

[0046] Furthermore, the use position A (for example, FIGS. 5A and 5B) where the footrest part 6 is placed on the mattress 20 and the standby position B (for example, FIG. 6) where the footrest part 6 is moved away from the mattress 20 can be easily switched by rotating the base part 4 etc. about the first width direction axis J1. Therefore, it can be immediately set to the use position A when countermeasures against pointed feet are required, and it can be immediately set to the standby position B when countermeasures against pointed feet are not required, which is convenient to use.

[0047] Furthermore, when anti-tip measures are not necessary, the footrest can be placed at the standby position B, and there is no need to remove and store it, so storage space is not required. Also, since the footrest 1 for the bed is located at the center of the width direction W of the bed 10, the ease of operation remains the same regardless of whether the caregiver is on one side or the other side of the width direction W of the bed 10.

[0048] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user U positions the bed 10 in a posture for eating and sets the footrest 1 for the bed at the use position A, and eats with the sole of the foot I of the user U in contact with the footrest portion 6 of the footrest 1 for the bed, the sole contact of the user U during meals is ensured. Thereby, the posture of the user U during meals is improved, and chewing and swallowing can be performed efficiently, so fatigue and aspiration during meals can be suppressed.

[0049] <Advance and retreat of the slide body> The slide body 5 advances from the position shown in the enlarged front view of the main part of FIG. 5A to the position shown in the enlarged front view of the main part of FIG. 5B, and can be positioned with respect to the base body part 4 at the position advanced from the base body part 4. For example, when the slide body 5 is pulled out from the base body part 4 with the footrest portion 6, the slide body 5 can be positioned with respect to the base body part 4 at a plurality of positions advanced from the base body part 4. By operating the release lever K1, the positioned state of the slide body 5 is released, and the slide body 5 can be pushed into the base body part 4.

[0050] According to such a configuration, the slide body 5 can be advanced and retracted with respect to the base body part 4 to adjust the position of the footrest portion 6 in the longitudinal direction L. Therefore, the position of the footrest portion 6 can be easily adjusted according to the position of the foot of the user U without moving the position of the foot of the user U in the longitudinal direction L. Also, by positioning the slide body 5 with respect to the base body part 4 at an appropriate position where the slide body 5 has advanced from the base body part 4, the adjusted state of the position of the footrest portion 6 according to the position of the foot of the user U can be maintained.

[0051] <Rotation of the footrest portion> The footrest portion 6 is rotatable about the second width direction axis J2 with respect to the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5, as shown in, for example, the enlarged front view of the main part in FIGS. 5A and 5B. The rotation angles of the footrest portion 6 about the second width direction axis J2 in FIGS. 5A and 5B differ by about 10°. The rotation angle of the footrest portion 6 about the second width direction axis J2 can be appropriately changed according to the preference of the user U.

[0052] Also, the rotation angle can be determined with respect to the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5 at the rotated angle. For example, when the release button K2 is pressed, the determination of the rotation angle is released, and the footrest portion 6 can be rotated about the second width direction axis J2 with respect to the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5. When the pressing of the release button K2 is stopped, the rotation angle is determined at that rotation angle.

[0053] According to such a configuration, since the footrest portion 6 can rotate about the second width direction axis J2 in a state where the footrest portion 6 is in contact with the sole I of the user U, the footrest portion 6 can be adjusted to the shape of the sole I of the user U. Further, by determining the rotation angle of the slide body 6 at an appropriate angle at which the footrest portion 6 rotates with respect to the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5, the state in which the angle of the footrest portion 6 is adjusted to fit the sole I of the user U can be maintained.

[0054] <Shape and Material of Footrest Portion> As shown in the enlarged front view of the main part in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the footrest portion 6 is a cushion material C having an elliptical shape when viewed from the width direction W. The footrest portion 6 may have a circular shape when viewed from the width direction W.

[0055] According to such a configuration, at the use position A of the footrest 1 for the bed, the footrest portion 6, which is a cushion material C having an elliptical shape or a circular shape when viewed from the width direction, comes into contact with the sole I of the user U. Therefore, the footrest portion 6 can be brought into contact with the arch of the sole of the user U and the load can be dispersed, so that it has a massage effect and the feeling of use is improved.

[0056] <Attachment of Fixture> As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 8 and the partially exploded perspective view of FIG. 9, the mounting tool 2 is pressed against the horizontal members 16, 16 of the leg bottom D (the second leg bottom 13E which is a bottom extension tool) from above the horizontal members 16, 16 with respect to the contact plate 7 pressed against the horizontal members 16, 16 from below, and the mounting screw 17A is screwed into the screw hole 7A through the through hole 2A. In this way, the mounting tool 2 can be easily attached to the central portion in the width direction W of the leg bottom D of the bed 10.

[0057] <Mounting of the footrest portion> The footrest portion 6 is elliptical as viewed from the width direction W as described above. As shown in the partially exploded perspective view of FIG. 9, the mounting plate 9 is inserted into the internal space of the footrest portion 6, and the mounting screw 17B is inserted into the through hole 8A of the support plate 8 supported by the second width direction axis J2 at the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5 and screwed into the screw hole 9A of the mounting plate 9. In this way, the footrest portion 6 can be easily attached indirectly to the tip portion E2 of the slide body 5.

[0058] <Structure around the first width direction axis> As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 10, the base portion 4 is rotatably connected to the upper portion of the support tool 3 around the first width direction axis J1 by bolts 18 and nuts 19.

[0059] The tightening torque of the bolts 18 and nuts 19 is set such that the frictional torque around the first width direction axis J1 is greater than the rotational torque around the first width direction axis J1 due to the self - weights of the members on the tip side of the first width direction axis J1, that is, the base portion 4, the slide body 5, and the footrest portion 6, etc. The frictional torque set in this way is held by locking the nut 19 as a double nut to prevent loosening.

[0060] According to such a configuration, since the frictional torque around the first width direction axis J1 is greater than the rotational torque around the first width direction axis J1 due to the self-weight of the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis J1, in the posture from the use position A to the standby position B of the footrest 1 for the bed, the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis J1 does not move by its own weight. Therefore, since the position of the member on the tip side of the first width direction axis J1 is held, inconveniences such as the footrest portion 6 suddenly rotating and hitting the user's foot do not occur.

[0061] In the above description, the configuration having the slide body 5 has been described, but the present invention includes a configuration without the slide body 5. When there is no slide body 5, the footrest portion 6 is attached to E1 at the tip of the base portion 4, for example. The footrest portion 6 is attached directly or indirectly to the tip E1 of the base portion 4.

[0062] In the above description, the configuration having the second width direction axis J2 and the footrest portion 6 rotating around the second width direction axis J2 has been described, but the present invention includes a configuration without the second width direction axis J2. For example, if the footrest portion 6 is circular in shape when viewed from the width direction W, a simpler configuration without the second width direction axis J2 can be achieved.

[0063] All the descriptions of the above embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive. Various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
