DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a human body moving device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The example shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is a track 1 having an H-shaped cross section that is erected along a transport path.
And an electric trolley (hereinafter, referred to as an electric trolley 2) as traveling means 2 for moving on the track 1, and an electric chain block as an elevating means 3 supported by the electric trolley 2 (hereinafter, electric chain block 3). ), And a suspension member 5 that connects the electric chain block 3 and the human body 4.

In this example, a track 1, an electric trolley 2 moving on the track 1 (along the track 1), and an electric chain block 3 supported by the electric trolley 2 are, as shown in FIGS. And only a hanging hoisting chain 9 hanging from the chain block 3 and a hook 10 attached to the tip of the chain, and an operation box 11 for controlling the electric trolley 2 and the electric chain block 3 ( Hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as exposed portions.). It is desirable to provide a sheet-like blinding means (not shown) made of rubber or woven fabric at a cut in the ceiling for pulling down the exposed portion.

As shown in FIG. 3, the suspension member 5 has a suspension rod 8 formed by covering a wire 13 at both ends of a human chest rod 12 having a chest width with a wire 13 and covering the periphery thereof with a cushioning material 14 made of urethane resin. And two leather fastening belts 6 are inserted through a ring 15 provided at the lower end of each suspension strip 8. Rings 16 for suspending the suspension strips 2 two by two are welded to both ends of the balance rod 12, and a ring which is hooked on a hook 10 connected to a lower end of the lifting chain 9 of the electric chain block 3 in the center. 17 are welded, but four rings may be fixed symmetrically (welding, bolting, etc.) along the longitudinal direction of the balance bar 12 in order to suspend the hanging strips 8 one by one (illustration shown). Omitted). On the other hand, rings 16, 16 fixed to both ends of the balance rod
The upper ends of the suspension strips 8, 8, 8, 8 which are suspended in the same manner as the lower ends thereof are formed in an annular shape as shown in FIG. The ring 15 formed at one end of the rings 15 formed at both ends of the rod 1 is formed before the forming rod 1 is formed into an annular shape.
By being passed through the ring 16 fixed to 2, the balance rod 12 cannot be detached from the ring 16.

Then, the balance rod 12 in the suspension line 8 is used.
The other ring 15 which is not connected to the ring 16 formed as described above serves as a holding portion for inserting the body tightening belt 6 as described above. By tightening, the suspension member 5 and the human body 4 are securely connected, and
When the buckle 18 of the body fastening belt 6 is removed, the body fastening belt 6 is attached to the suspension ridges 8,8,8,8.

Such a structure prevents a person's neck from being hung by the chain block 3 being operated by mistake before the torso fastening belt 6 is securely attached and the suspension member 5 being lifted upward. In consideration of safety. In addition, in consideration of the fact that the balance rod 12 is relatively strong and is greatly damaged by colliding with the human body 4, a cushioning material made of urethane resin is also provided around the balance rod 12 similarly to the suspension strip 8. 14 is taken.

The above-mentioned human body moving device assists the standing and sitting of the person by operating the elevating means 3 such as a chain block. The elevating means 3, which is stationary at a constant height, assists in supporting the weight of the person. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the traveling means 2 such as an electric trolley assists in shifting the weight when a person steps on the foot, thereby assisting walking while applying a constant load to the leg of the person and making it impossible to walk. Such a person is completely lifted and transported as shown in FIG.

As a connecting means between the lifting / lowering means 3 and the suspension member 5 or a connecting means to be interposed between the components of the suspension member 5, either a ring or a hook may be employed. However, it is a necessary condition that a configuration is adopted in which the body fastening belt 6 is hung under the side of the human body 4 and the opened body fastening belt 6 is freely insertable into and removable from the suspension ridges 8.
In particular, in the case of a hook, it is possible to hold the body-tightened belt 6 closed in an annular shape without using a means of insertion from the cut, but it is desirable to provide a lock mechanism for closing the cut as a measure to prevent detachment. . Even when using such a hook, from the viewpoint of accident prevention,
It is necessary to provide an appropriate slack so that the body tightening belt 6 can be freely inserted and removed when the cut is closed.
