JPH07246134A - Support cushion for stabilizing supine, prostrate and recumbent position of adult and infant - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a supporting cushion for stabilizing a supine, prone or lateral attitude of an adult or an infant. CONSTITUTION: This cushion comprises two wedge parts 1 made of a foam material and surrounded by a canopy 5, and a spread mattress 2 fixed to each of wedge parts 1, and makes the both wedge parts 1 separate from each other by a user's weight to fix the mattress, when the mattress is partially overlapped. The spread mattress 2 in a shape of a sheet is fixed to the wedge parts from the lower edge UK 4 of the wedge parts 1 at a some interval and provided with a tilted and/or circular arc mattress band 2a to emphasize the fixing stress attaching to the user's body.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to easily and reliably stabilize the supine position, prone position and lateral position for adults, especially for the elderly and for infants (infants). It is an object of the present invention to provide a device which is simple to construct and easy to handle.

[0002]

According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of claim 1. The subsequent dependent claims contain constituent features indicating advantageous and beneficial developments of the problem solution.

The device according to the invention for stabilizing the supine, prone and lateral positions of adults and infants is formed as a support cushion by means of two wedges and a mat provided on it. , Each human being is fixedly held between the wedges in the supine, prone and lateral positions.

[0004] The wedge part is formed with a mat which is partially overlapped with each other to form a recumbent groove for an adult or a baby, and the mat is laid by adding the weight of each person to the mat which is partially overlapped. The mat is held by the wedge so that the wedge is in stable contact with the human flanks or with the human dorsal or abdominal area.

Two wedges having the same length are used for the supine position and the prone position. To stabilize the lateral position, a long wedge part extending from the head region to the hip region and a human being are used. A short wedge is used to cover the chest and abdominal area of the.

This position stabilizer is organized as a three-point set because it includes two wedges of the same size and length for the range of use and one short wedge, In this way, the supine, prone and lateral positions of each human can be selectively selected for stabilization.

This three-point set has a simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost, is easy to handle, and provides more reliable posture stability for each person.

When the child is placed in the recumbent groove by fixing the mat laying above the lower edge of the wedge, the mat lays the stress that the wedge additionally abuts the child's body. The fixation of the position is improved.

[0009] Additional simulated cushions or independently available simulated cushions impart to the infant natural breathing movements and / or strokes of the mother, thereby further calming the infant and giving the mother additional comfort. It makes me feel embraced.

1 shows an embodiment of the invention.

A support cushion in the form of a position-fixing device for stabilizing the supine, prone and lateral positions of adults and infants (infants) comprises two wedges of foam material surrounded by a upholstery cloth 5. It consists of a part 1 and a mat 2 which is fixed to each wedge part 1. The two mats 2 are fixed so that the wedge parts 1 are separated from each other by the weight of an adult or infant when they are partially overlapped. Thus, the recumbent groove 3 is formed in this way, and an adult or infant is fixedly received on the three side surfaces in the groove and received.

A laying mat 2 is connected to the edge of the lower wedge portion mounting surface 4 forming the maximum surface of the wedge portion over the entire length of the wedge portion.

Both wedges 1 have the same size and length, and an adult or infant has a length extending from the head region to the hip region.

In order to stabilize the lateral decubitus position of adults and infants (infants), two wedge portions 1 and 1a having different lengths are used, one of which extends from the head region to the hip region (Fig. 2 wedge portion 1), the other wedge portion 1a is shown in FIG.
According to, it covers the chest and abdominal area.

The sheet-shaped mat 2 of each wedge 1, 1a is made of fibers and is fixed to the upholstery cloth 5 of the wedge 1, 1a or formed by the upholstery cloth 5 of the wedge. .

In order to stabilize the supine and prone positions, 2
The two wedge portions 1 are arranged at intervals so as to match the body width of an adult or an infant, and a partial overlapping portion U is overlapped at the end of the spread mat 2.

An adult or infant lying between the wedges 1 is
The mat 2 which is partially overlapped by its own weight is held at that position, and the two wedge portions 1 that laterally abut on the body are fixed, whereby the recumbent groove 3 is established. .

[0018] To fix the lateral position of an adult or infant,
The wedge part 1 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 is used, and the head region, the back region and the hip region of an adult or infant are brought into contact therewith, in which case the chest region and the abdominal region are short in front of the chest region as shown in FIG. There is a wedge portion 1a. In this case, the recumbent groove 3 is also fixed by the weight acting on the partially overlaid mat 2 and the adult or infant is in the lateral decubitus position with both wedges 1, 1a.
Be sure to lie between them.

According to the variant of FIG. 4, the mat 2 is not fixed to the lower edge UK of each wedge 1, 1a,
It is fixed at a distance A of, for example, 2 to 4 cm above the lower ridge UK, whereby it extends obliquely and / or arcuately from the wedge portion 1 downward to the mounting surface of the wedge portion 1. The spread mat band 2a is generated.

When a child is inserted between the wedge portions 1 and reclined on the mat 2 which is overlapped, a tensile stress is applied to the wedge portion 1 by the band 2a, and this stress makes the wedge portion 1 still better. Supportingly, the child is pulled (pressed) toward the child, and thus the position of the child is increased in the bed formed by the wedge portion 1 and the mat 2.

By using the simulated cushion 6 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the respiratory motion of the mother is transmitted to the infant. The simulated cushion 6 has a double-wall structure and is made of a soft and / or elastic material such as synthetic resin or rubber and a fiber-clad cloth.

In the cavity 9 of the cushion 6 which is closed by two cushion walls 7 and 8, air is alternately pushed in and sucked out by a driven air pump 10 such as a piston pump equipped with an electric drive. As a result, the two cushion walls 7 and 8 expand and contract, simulating the respiratory movements of the mother for the child lying or abutting against them.

The pump 10 is detachably connected to the cushion 6 via a tube 11 having an arbitrary length. The tube 11 is connected to the fitting tube 12 of the cushion 6.

Further, the roll 13 is placed in the cavity 9 of the cushion 6.
Can be movably housed and the roll rolls back and forth in the cushion cavity 9 by means of air or any drive, thereby simulating a physical stroke on the child.

The cushion 6 for simulating respiratory movements and / or strokes can be used as a unique device,
It is preferably added to a support cushion, where it is applied, for example, to a chest or back wedge 1 (FIG. 6) or placed on a mat 2 so that the child's body is cushioned 6
Applied to or placed on.

The thickness and size of the cushion 6 can be arbitrarily selected.

It is also included in the present invention to directly implement the wedge portion 1 as a simulated cushion of the type described above.
