However, according to the former prior art, since the transfer mat is a tool completely separated and independent from the stretcher, the patient is transferred between the stretcher and the bed. It is necessary for the caregiver to prepare a transfer mat each time it is carried out. In addition, the patient is transferred between the stretcher and the bed by moving the patient in the left-right direction as the transfer mat mainly rotates. There is also a possibility that the direction will be misaligned and good transfer will not be possible. Also, according to the latter conventional technology, when used in a stretcher, the transfer mat is a tool completely separate and independent from the stretcher as in the former conventional technology. It is necessary for the caregiver to prepare a transfer mat every time the robot is transferred to and from the car.

The present invention solves the problems of the prior art as described above, and reduces the burden on the caregiver when transferring a patient between a stretcher and a bed, an examination table, and the like, and reduces the pain of the patient. It is intended to provide a stretcher with a transfer function that can achieve

[0005]

A stretcher with a transfer function according to the present invention comprises a table and a mat placed on the table, the mat including a core material and the core material covering the core material. A cover that is slidable on the outer peripheral surface, a belt that is endlessly wrapped around the table in the lateral direction, and that is locally fixed to the cover, and a handle that is fixed to the cover. It is characterized by being provided.

Driven rollers are provided on the left and right sides of the table, and the belt is stretched between the driven rollers with the table at the center.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a mat of a stretcher with a transfer function according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a stretcher main body, and FIG. 3 is a state in which the mat is attached to a table. FIG. 4 and FIG. 4 are explanatory views of an operation example of the stretcher with the transfer function.

In FIG. 1, a mat 1 is a mat which is connected to a vertically movable table 3 of a stretcher body 2 shown in FIG. 2 and placed on the table 3. Mat 1
Includes an annular cover 4 and a core material 5, and the core material 5 is the cover 4
Housed inside. The cover 4 is slidable with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the core material 5. For example, the cover 4 has slipperiness depending on the material of the core material 5 and the cover 4 and the weaving method, or the outer peripheral surface of the core material 5 and / or the cover. By fixing or impregnating the inner peripheral surface of 4 with a sliding material having a small friction coefficient, the cover 4 can move like a caterpillar with the core material 5 accommodated therein.

Belts 6 are locally (partially) fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cover 4 at a plurality of locations (two locations near both ends in the vertical direction in this embodiment) at connecting portions 6a. Each belt 6 has locking portions, for example, locking buttons 6 at both ends.
b, 6c, and by engaging the locking buttons 6b, 6c with each other, an annular or endless state is achieved. Each belt 6 is
It is stretched between a pair of driven rollers 9 and 10 arranged on frames 7 and 8 located on the left and right sides of the table 3 with the table 3 as the center.

Further, a pair of cloth handles 11 and 12 are fixed near the center of the outer peripheral surface of the cover 4 in the vertical direction.

Next, as conceptually shown in FIG. 3, the mat 1 attached to the stretcher main body 2 and placed on the table 3 is used to place the patient on the table 3 from above the bed or the like. An operation method for transferring to (5) will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the stretcher main body 2 is arranged near the bed 13, and the height of the table 3 is adjusted to the height of the bed 13. Then, the mat 1 is pushed to transfer the mat 1 from the table 3 to the bed 13.

Next, the patient 14 is placed in a half-body posture as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4 (A), and is then laid on the end of the mat 1 as shown by the chain double-dashed line.

Next, by pulling the grips 11 and 12 toward the stretcher main body 2 side, the patient 14 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
Move to the center of the mat 1 as shown by the solid line. Instead of operating the handles 11 and 12 as described above,
The patient 14 may be moved to the center of the mat 1 by pushing the patient 14 toward the stretcher main body 2. At the time of this operation, the cover 4 moves smoothly on the outer peripheral surface of the core material 5 like a caterpillar even if the caregiver does not apply a large force.

Next, while keeping the patient 14 at the center of the mat 1, the handles 11 and 12 are pulled toward the stretcher main body 2 side, and the mat 1 is placed on the table 3. At this time, the belt 6 moves around the table 3 as the mat 1 moves.

The operation of returning the patient 14 from the table 3 to the bed 13 is the reverse of the above-described series of operations for transferring the patient 14 from the bed 13 to the table 3. The patient 14 can be put back on the bed 13 by carrying out.

As described above, the stretcher with a transfer function of the present embodiment comprises the table 3 and the mat 1 placed on the table 3, and the mat 1 includes the core material 5 and
A cover 4 that covers the core material 5 and is slidable on the outer peripheral surface of the core material 5;
The belt 6 is an endless movable belt 3 wrapped around the table 3 and includes a belt 6 locally fixed to the cover 4 and handles 11 and 12 fixed to the cover 4.

Therefore, the mat 1 is always provided as a part of the stretcher, and when transferring the patient 14 between the stretcher and the bed, a special transfer mat or the like is not required unlike the prior art. The caregiver does not have to worry about preparations.

While the patient 14 is moved from the table 3 onto the bed 13, the examination table or the like, or from above the bed 13 or examination table onto the table 3, the patient 14 is placed on the center of the mat 1. It is possible to move while riding without being displaced, and it is possible to perform good transfer.

The stretcher body 2 is provided with driven rollers 9 and 10 on the left and right sides of the table 3, and the belt 6
Since the table 3 is stretched between the driven rollers 9 and 10 with the table 3 as the center, the belt 6 can be smoothly moved.
