Description

本願発明は、洋式トイレに備えられて、主として、高齢者、身体障害者等の身体的弱者の用便時における動作あるいは姿勢を介助するためのトイレ用介助装置に関するものである。     The present invention relates to a toilet assistance device that is provided in a Western-style toilet and mainly assists the operation or posture of a physically weak person such as an elderly person or a physically handicapped person during use.

身体的弱者が洋式トイレを使用する場合において最も問題となるのが、便座への着座動作と、着座姿勢からの立ち上がり動作、及び用便中における姿勢保持である。このような身体的弱者の用便時の動作と姿勢保持を介助することを目的として、従来から種々の介助装置が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1〜3参照)。   When a physically weak person uses a Western-style toilet, the most serious problems are the sitting operation on the toilet seat, the rising operation from the sitting posture, and the posture maintenance in the toilet. Conventionally, various assistance devices have been proposed for the purpose of assisting the operation and posture maintenance of such physically weak persons during stool (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

特許文献1には、洋式トイレの便器の両側部から後部にかけて配置される略「コ」字形の平面形体をもつ手摺部と、該手摺部をその両側部において支持する左右一対の脚と、該各脚の下端に固定されて上記便器の前後方向に延びる足部を備えたトイレ用介助具であって、該介助具を上記便器側に設置した状態において、上記各脚部と上記便器の両側壁の間に伸縮棒をもった接続管を配置し、該接続管を伸長させて上記脚部を、左右のトイレ壁面に押圧付勢することで固定するようにしたものが開示されている。   Patent Document 1 includes a handrail portion having a substantially “U” -shaped planar shape disposed from both sides to the rear portion of a toilet of a Western-style toilet, a pair of left and right legs that support the handrail portion on both sides, A toilet aid provided with a foot portion fixed to the lower end of each leg and extending in the front-rear direction of the toilet, and in a state where the aid is installed on the toilet side, both the legs and both sides of the toilet A connecting pipe having an expansion / contraction bar between walls is arranged, and the connecting pipe is extended to fix the legs by pressing and urging the left and right toilet wall surfaces.

特許文献2には、洋式便器の側方の床面に載置される左右一対の脚部と、該脚部に立設された左右一対の支柱と、該各支柱間を水平方向に連結する連結部からなるフレームを備え、該フレームを便器に固定するようにした手摺であって、上記各支柱には前方へ延びる肘掛を備え、該肘掛を上下方向に回動自在とするとともに、該肘掛の高さ位置を調整可能とし、さらに上記フレームの便器に対する取付位置を前後方向に調整可能としたものが示されている。   In Patent Document 2, a pair of left and right legs placed on the floor surface on the side of a Western-style toilet, a pair of left and right pillars erected on the legs, and a horizontal connection between the pillars. A handrail provided with a frame composed of a connecting portion, the frame being fixed to a toilet, wherein each of the support columns is provided with an armrest extending forward, the armrest being rotatable in the vertical direction, and the armrest The height position of the frame can be adjusted, and the attachment position of the frame to the toilet is adjustable in the front-rear direction.

特許文献3には、略「コ」字形の平面形体をもち、洋式トイレの便器の左右両側及び後部を取り囲むように配置される上フレームと、略「L」字形の形体を有し上フレームの両側部をそれぞれ支持する左右一対の下フレームとを備え、上フレームの両側部のそれぞれに、個別に高さ調整可能な肘掛手摺を取付けるとともに、便器後部に対応する上フレームの中央部には背凭れを取り付けたトイレ用補助装置が示されている。   In Patent Document 3, the upper frame has a substantially “U” -shaped planar shape and is disposed so as to surround both the left and right sides and the rear part of the toilet of a Western-style toilet, and has an approximately “L” -shaped shape. It has a pair of left and right lower frames that support both sides, and an armrest handrail that can be individually adjusted in height is attached to each of both sides of the upper frame, and the center of the upper frame that corresponds to the rear of the toilet bowl Shown is a toilet auxiliary device fitted with drool.

ところが、特許文献1に示されるものでは、略「コ」字形の平面形体をもつ手摺部が一体構成であってその幅寸法が固定され、しかも便器側壁とトイレ壁面の間の突っ張り作用によって介助具を固定するものであることから、トイレ室の幅寸法によっては安定した設置が困難になるなど、設置上の制約がある。また、大きな形体をもつ手摺部、及び脚部と足部が、ともに一体構成であって、上記介助具を商品として流通過程におく場合、梱包形体が不必要に大きくなるなど、梱包性という点においても問題がある。   However, in the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the handrail portion having a substantially “U” -shaped planar shape is integrally configured, the width dimension thereof is fixed, and the assisting tool is provided by the tension action between the toilet side wall and the toilet wall surface. Therefore, there are restrictions on installation, such as difficult installation depending on the width of the toilet room. In addition, when the handrail portion having a large shape, and the leg portion and the foot portion are integrally configured, and the above-mentioned aid is placed in the distribution process as a product, the packing shape becomes unnecessarily large, and the packaging property is reduced. There is also a problem.

特許文献2に示されるトイレ用手摺においては、その幅寸法、即ち、左右の肘掛相互間の間隔であって、トイレ使用者の存在スペースが固定され、その増減調整ができない構成であることから、例えば、トイレ使用者の体格等の条件によっては使い勝手が悪いという問題が生じることが懸念される。   In the handrail for the toilet shown in Patent Document 2, the width dimension, that is, the interval between the left and right armrests, the space where the toilet user is present is fixed, and the increase / decrease adjustment thereof is not possible. For example, there is a concern that the problem of poor usability may occur depending on conditions such as the physique of the toilet user.

特許文献3に示されるトイレ用補助装置では、上フレームに肘掛と背凭れが設けられているが、上記特許文献2の場合と同様に、上フレームの幅寸法が固定され、その増減調整ができない構成であることから、例えば、トイレ使用者の体格等の条件によっては使い勝手が悪いという問題が生じることが懸念される。また、大きな屈曲形体をもつ上フレームと下フレームが、ともに一体構成であるなど、全体として分解性が低く、流通過程におく場合における梱包性という点においても問題がある。   In the toilet auxiliary device shown in Patent Document 3, an armrest and a backrest are provided on the upper frame, but as in the case of Patent Document 2, the width dimension of the upper frame is fixed and the increase / decrease adjustment cannot be performed. Since it is a structure, we are anxious about the problem that usability is bad depending on conditions, such as a toilet user's physique, for example. In addition, the upper frame and the lower frame having a large bent shape are both integrated, and therefore, there is a problem in terms of packing property in the case of being placed in a distribution process because of low degradation as a whole.

そこで、本願発明は、使用上の利便性に優れ、しかも商品として流通時の梱包性に優れたトイレ用介助装置を提供することを主たる1目的としてなされたものである。   Therefore, the present invention is mainly intended to provide a toilet assistance device that is excellent in convenience of use and has excellent packing properties during distribution as a product.

The grounding leg 2 includes a fixing plate 23 on one end side in the axial direction, and the joint material 22 described below is fitted on the other end side. The joint material 22 is a pipe body having a T-shape, and the main material 21 is inserted into the straight first insertion tube portion 25 while being orthogonal to the first insertion tube portion 25. The lower end of the support column 1 is inserted into the second insertion tube portion 26. The joint material 22 and the lower end of the support column 1 are fixed by a fixing screw 72 provided on the second fitting tube portion 26.

上記ジョイント材22の第1嵌挿筒部25の側面には、軸方向に延びる長穴27が形成されており、該長穴27から差し入れた固定ネジ71を上記主材21側のビス孔28に螺入し、これを締め込むことで上記主材21はジョイント材22に固定される。そして、上記固定ネジ71の上記長穴27内での位置を変更することで、該主材21と固定板23の相対位置を変更することができる。   An elongated hole 27 extending in the axial direction is formed on the side surface of the first fitting tube portion 25 of the joint material 22, and a fixing screw 71 inserted from the elongated hole 27 is inserted into the screw hole 28 on the main material 21 side. The main material 21 is fixed to the joint material 22 by screwing into the joint material 22. The relative position between the main material 21 and the fixing plate 23 can be changed by changing the position of the fixing screw 71 in the elongated hole 27.

上記ジョイント材22にも固定板24が設けられており、上記ジョイント材22の第1嵌挿筒部25に上記主材21を嵌挿し、該主材21側の固定板23と上記固定板23側の固定板24をそれぞれトイレ床面側に固定することで、上記支柱1のトイレ床面への固定が行われる。従って、上記主材21とジョイント材22の相対位置を変更することで、上記支柱1のトイレ床面上における立設位置が、前後方向に調整されるものである(図1参照)。   The joint material 22 is also provided with a fixing plate 24. The main material 21 is inserted into the first fitting tube portion 25 of the joint material 22, and the main material 21 side fixing plate 23 and the fixing plate 23 are inserted. By fixing the fixing plate 24 on the side to the toilet floor surface side, the support 1 is fixed to the toilet floor surface. Therefore, by changing the relative position of the main material 21 and the joint material 22, the standing position of the support column 1 on the toilet floor is adjusted in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 1).

C:横架材3の構成
上記横架材3は、図4に示すように、所定径のパイプ体で構成されるもので、第1主材31と第2主材32からなる二分割構造とされ、且つ該第1主材31と第2主材32を長さ調整機構Qによって長さ調整可能に接続して構成される。
C: Configuration of Horizontal Material 3 As shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal material 3 is composed of a pipe body having a predetermined diameter, and has a two-part structure composed of a first main material 31 and a second main material 32. In addition, the first main material 31 and the second main material 32 are connected by a length adjustment mechanism Q so as to be adjustable in length.

上記長さ調整機構Qは、上記支柱1側に設けられた上記高さ調整機構Pと同様の構成をもつものであって、図9に示すように、上記第1主材31の端部の外周側に嵌挿固定された接合材34と、上記第2主材32の端部の内周側に嵌挿固定された中間材33を備えて構成される。そして、上記接合材34の一側に脱着レバー35が設けられるとともに、上記中間材33側には係合孔61を備えた複数の係合凹部60が設けられており、該係合凹部60に上記脱着レバー15側の係合ピース38を係入させ、且つ固定ピン36を挿通することで、上記中間材33と接合材34を介して上記第1主材31と第2主材32が接合されるとともに、上記脱着レバー15側の係合ピース38を複数の上記係合凹部60に選択的に係入させることで、上記横架材3の長さ調整が行われるものである。   The length adjustment mechanism Q has the same configuration as the height adjustment mechanism P provided on the column 1 side, and as shown in FIG. The connecting member 34 is fitted and fixed on the outer peripheral side, and the intermediate member 33 is inserted and fixed on the inner peripheral side of the end portion of the second main material 32. A desorption lever 35 is provided on one side of the bonding material 34, and a plurality of engagement recesses 60 having engagement holes 61 are provided on the intermediate material 33 side. The first main member 31 and the second main member 32 are joined via the intermediate member 33 and the joining member 34 by engaging the engaging piece 38 on the detachable lever 15 side and inserting the fixing pin 36. At the same time, the length of the horizontal member 3 is adjusted by selectively engaging the engagement piece 38 on the side of the detachable lever 15 into the plurality of engagement recesses 60.

この場合、上記第1主材31は上記一対の支柱1,1の一方側の上端に固定されて一体化されており、また上記第2主材32は上記一対の支柱1,1の他方側の上端に固定されて一体化されているため、上記横架材3の長さ調整によって、上記一対の支柱1,1の対向間隔(即ち、トイレ用介助装置Zの幅方向)の調整が行われることになる。   In this case, the first main material 31 is fixed to and integrated with the upper end of one side of the pair of columns 1, 1, and the second main material 32 is the other side of the pair of columns 1, 1. Since the horizontal member 3 is adjusted to be integrated with each other, the distance between the pair of support columns 1 and 1 (that is, the width direction of the toilet assistance device Z) is adjusted by adjusting the length of the horizontal member 3. It will be.

ここで、上記支柱1側の上記高さ調整機構Pと上記横架材3側の上記長さ調整機構Qが異なる点は、該長さ調整機構Qにおいては上記接合材34の一側に、その軸方向に所定間隔で係合孔61が形成されている点である。この接合材34に設けられた上記係合孔61は、上記横架材3に後述の背凭れ5を取付け且つその位置調整を行うためのものである。   Here, the difference between the height adjusting mechanism P on the support column 1 side and the length adjusting mechanism Q on the horizontal member 3 side is that the length adjusting mechanism Q is on one side of the bonding material 34. The engagement holes 61 are formed at predetermined intervals in the axial direction. The engagement hole 61 provided in the bonding material 34 is for attaching a backrest 5 described later to the horizontal member 3 and adjusting the position thereof.

D:肘掛4の構成
上記肘掛4は、図1〜図4に示すように、所定長さのパイプ体でなるフレーム材41と、該フレーム材41の先端寄りの上面に取付けられた肘受材42を備えて構成され、上記フレーム材41の基端部が、枢支体6を介して上記横架材3の上記第1主材31の端部と上記第2主材32の端部に、それぞれ取付けられている。
D: Configuration of Armrest 4 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the armrest 4 includes a frame material 41 formed of a pipe body having a predetermined length, and an elbow support attached to the upper surface near the tip of the frame material 41. 42, and the base end portion of the frame member 41 is connected to the end portion of the first main member 31 and the end portion of the second main member 32 of the horizontal member 3 via the pivotal support 6. Each installed.

上記枢支体6は、ストッパー機能を備えた従来周知の構造をもつものであって、その具体的構造の説明は省略するが、上記肘掛4を、図1〜図3にそれぞれ実線図示するように上記横架材3側から前方へ略水平に延出する延出姿勢と、同各図に鎖線図示するように上記横架材3側から上方へ跳ね上げられた跳上げ姿勢との間で姿勢変更自在に支持するとともに、特に上記延出姿勢においては、具備するストーパー機能(図示省略)によって、上方からの荷重に対してもこれを支持してその姿勢を保持し得るように構成されている。尚、上記左右一対の肘掛4,4は、それぞれ個別に姿勢変更可能とされることは言うまでも無い。   The pivotal support 6 has a conventionally well-known structure having a stopper function, and the description of the specific structure is omitted. However, the armrest 4 is shown by a solid line in FIGS. Between the extending posture extending substantially horizontally from the horizontal member 3 side to the front and the jumping posture jumped upward from the horizontal member 3 side as shown by the chain line in each figure. In addition to supporting the posture in a freely changeable manner, particularly in the extended posture described above, it is configured so that the posture can be supported by supporting the load from above by the provided stooper function (not shown). Yes. Needless to say, the pair of left and right armrests 4 and 4 can be individually changed in posture.

E:背凭れ5の構成
上記背凭れ5は、図1に示すように、上記洋式トイレXの後部に上記介助装置Zを設置した状態において、上記洋式トイレXの後部上方に立設状態で配置されて、上記便座82に着座した使用者の背中をサポートし、該使用者の姿勢保持を助けるものである。この背凭れ5は、図2〜図4、及び図12に示すように、縦長矩形の平板状形体をもち、その下端部が次述のブラケット54を介して上記横架材3における上記接合材34部分に取付けられている。
E: Configuration of Backrest 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the backrest 5 is arranged in a standing state above the rear of the Western toilet X in the state where the assistance device Z is installed at the rear of the Western toilet X. Thus, the user's back seated on the toilet seat 82 is supported to help maintain the user's posture. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and 12, the backrest 5 has a vertically-long rectangular flat plate-like shape, and the lower end portion thereof is connected to the horizontal member 3 via the bracket 54 described below. It is attached to 34 parts.

即ち、上記背凭れ5は、図12(イ)に示すように、縦長矩形の平板状形体をもつ支持板51の前面にクッション52を載置しその外側を表皮53によって覆う一方、上記支持板51の背面側には背板50を取付けて構成される。そして、上記背板50の下端部に次述のブラケット54が取付けられ、該ブラケット54を介して上記横架材3側に支持されている。   That is, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the backrest 5 has a cushion 52 placed on the front surface of a support plate 51 having a vertically long rectangular flat plate shape and the outer surface thereof is covered with a skin 53, while the support plate A back plate 50 is attached to the back side of 51. A bracket 54 described below is attached to the lower end portion of the back plate 50, and is supported on the side of the horizontal member 3 via the bracket 54.

上記ブラケット54は、図10及び図12に示すように、上記背凭れ5の背板50側に固定ネジ74によって締着固定された半割れ筒状の第1ピース55と、該第1ピース55
に対向状態で衝合され固定ネジ73によって締着固定される半割れ筒状の第2ピース56で構成され、これら両者間で上記横架材3側の上記接合材34を挟持することで、上記背凭れ5を上記横架材3に固定する。
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the bracket 54 includes a half piece cylindrical first piece 55 fastened and fixed to the back plate 50 side of the backrest 5 by a fixing screw 74, and the first piece 55.
Are formed in a half-cracked cylindrical second piece 56 that is abutted in a facing state and fastened and fixed by a fixing screw 73, and sandwiching the bonding material 34 on the horizontal member 3 side between them, The backrest 5 is fixed to the horizontal member 3.

ここで、この実施形態では、上記背凭れ5を、図12(イ)に示す直立姿勢と、同図(ロ)に示すように直立姿勢から後方へ角度α(例えば、15°)だけ後傾した後傾姿勢の間において姿勢変更可能とするために、以下の構成を採用している。即ち、上記ブラケット54の上記第2ピース56の内面に突起57を形成し、該突起57を、上記横架材3側の上記接合材34の外周面の一側に設けられた上記各係合孔61に係入せしめている。この場合、上記係合孔61は、上記接合材34の周方向に長軸をもつ長孔とし、該係合孔61に係入した上記突起57が該係合孔6内においてその長軸方向へ上記各度αだけ移動し得るようにしている。また、上記係合孔61の短軸方向の寸法は、上記突起57の径寸法より僅かに大きな寸法とされている。   Here, in this embodiment, the backrest 5 is tilted backward by an angle α (for example, 15 °) from the upright posture as shown in FIG. In order to make it possible to change the posture between the inclined postures, the following configuration is adopted. That is, a protrusion 57 is formed on the inner surface of the second piece 56 of the bracket 54, and the protrusion 57 is provided on each side of the outer peripheral surface of the bonding material 34 on the horizontal member 3 side. It is engaged in the hole 61. In this case, the engagement hole 61 is a long hole having a long axis in the circumferential direction of the bonding material 34, and the protrusion 57 engaged with the engagement hole 61 is in the long axis direction in the engagement hole 6. It can be moved by α each time. The dimension of the engagement hole 61 in the minor axis direction is slightly larger than the diameter dimension of the protrusion 57.

従って、図12(イ)に示すように、上記背凭れ5が直立姿勢にあるとき、上記突起57が上記係合孔61の上端に当接して該背凭れ5がそれ以上に前傾するのが規制された状態となるように設定すると、この直立姿勢から上記背凭れ5を後傾させると、図12(ロ)に示すように、上記背凭れ5が角度αだけ後傾して後傾姿勢に設定された状態では、上記突起57が上記係合孔61の下端に当接し、それ以上に後傾するのが規制されることになる。   Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the backrest 5 is in the upright posture, the projection 57 contacts the upper end of the engagement hole 61, and the backrest 5 tilts further forward. If the backrest 5 is tilted backward from this upright posture, the backrest 5 tilts backward by an angle α as shown in FIG. In the state set in the posture, the protrusion 57 is in contact with the lower end of the engagement hole 61 and is prevented from tilting further beyond that.

一方、上記横架材3側の上記接合材34に設けられた上記各係合孔61の形成間隔を、上記第2主材32の中間材33に設けた上記各孔62の形成間隔に合致させている。このように構成することで、例えば、上記孔62の選択によって上記横架材3の長さを変更した場合、これに対応して、上記ブラケット54の上記突起57が係入する上記接合材34側の係合孔61を変更することで、上記横架材3の長さ変更に拘わらず、上記背凭れ5を該横架材3の軸方向中央位置に常時設定することが可能となる。換言すれば、介助装置Zの幅寸法が変更されても、これに影響されることなく、上記背凭れ5を常時幅方向中央に設置することができる。   On the other hand, the interval between the engagement holes 61 provided in the bonding material 34 on the horizontal member 3 side matches the interval between the holes 62 provided in the intermediate member 33 of the second main material 32. I am letting. With this configuration, for example, when the length of the horizontal member 3 is changed by selecting the hole 62, the bonding material 34 in which the protrusion 57 of the bracket 54 is engaged correspondingly. By changing the engagement hole 61 on the side, the backrest 5 can always be set at the axial center position of the horizontal member 3 regardless of the change in the length of the horizontal member 3. In other words, even if the width dimension of the assisting device Z is changed, the backrest 5 can be always installed at the center in the width direction without being affected by this.

尚、この実施形態では、上述のように、上記背凭れ5の下端部を、上記ブラケット54を介して上記横架材3側に固定するようにしていたが、本願の他の実施形態においては、図13に示すように、上記ブラケット54を上記背凭れ5の上下方向中段位置に設け、上記背凭れ5をその中段部分を中心にして傾動させるように構成することもできる。このように構成した場合には、上記背凭れ5はその傾動に伴って下端側と上端側の双方が前後方向に変位することから、図12に示すように上記背凭れ5の下端側を中心にして傾動する場合のように側背凭れ5の下端側は殆ど変位せず、上端側が大きく変位する構成に比して、サポート形態のバリエーションが増えるという利点がある。   In this embodiment, as described above, the lower end portion of the backrest 5 is fixed to the horizontal member 3 side via the bracket 54. However, in other embodiments of the present application, As shown in FIG. 13, the bracket 54 may be provided at the middle position of the backrest 5 in the vertical direction, and the backrest 5 may be tilted about the middle portion. In the case of such a configuration, the backrest 5 is displaced in the front-rear direction as both the lower end side and the upper end side are tilted, so that the lower end side of the backrest 5 is centered as shown in FIG. Thus, there is an advantage that the variation of the support form increases as compared with the configuration in which the lower end side of the side backrest 5 is hardly displaced as in the case of tilting and the upper end side is largely displaced.

F:介助装置Zの設置状態
以上のように構成された各部材からなる上記介助装置Zを、上記洋式トイレXの後部に設置した状態が、図1に示す状態である。この設置状態においては、上記左右一対の肘掛4,4が上記洋式トイレXの両側方において、便座82の後端側から前方へ延出している。また、上記便座82の後部上方には、上記背凭れ5が配置されている。
F: Installation state of the assistance device Z The state where the assistance device Z composed of the members configured as described above is installed at the rear part of the Western-style toilet X is the state shown in FIG. In this installed state, the pair of left and right armrests 4, 4 extend forward from the rear end side of the toilet seat 82 on both sides of the Western toilet X. Further, the backrest 5 is disposed above the rear portion of the toilet seat 82.

第3に、上記接地脚2の後端寄りに取付けられた上記ジョイント材22の位置を側接地脚2の軸方向に移動させることで、上記接地脚2を移動させること無く、上記支柱1,1から上側部分のみを一体として前後方向へ移動させることができ、
第4に、上記介助装置Zの幅寸法を変更しても、上記背凭れ5を該介助装置Zの幅方向中央に常時設置できるものである。
And in this assistance device Z,
First, it is possible to change the height position of each of the armrests 4 and 4 by adjusting the height of each of the support columns 1 and 1.
Secondly, by adjusting the length of the horizontal member 3, the pair of left and right support columns 1, one turn, that is, the pair of the western style toilets X that are respectively positioned on both sides of the western toilet X across the width direction. The space in the width direction above the toilet seat 82 can be increased or decreased.
Thirdly, by moving the position of the joint material 22 attached near the rear end of the grounding leg 2 in the axial direction of the side grounding leg 2, the strut 1, Only the upper part from 1 can be moved in the front-rear direction as a unit,
Fourthly, the backrest 5 can be always installed at the center in the width direction of the assistance device Z even if the width dimension of the assistance device Z is changed.

この結果、この実施形態の介助装置Zにおいては、以下のような作用効果が得られる。
(イ) 左右一対の上記支柱1,1が高さ調整可能とされるとともに、該各支柱1,1の上端部同士を連結する上記横架材3が長さ調整可能とされていることで、上記各支柱1,1の上端部又は上記横架材3の両端部に取付けられた左右一対の上記肘掛4,4の高さ位置及び幅方向の間隔を、便座82へ着座した使用者の体格あるいは好みの着座姿勢に応じて最適に調整することができるとともに、上記背凭れ5が上記横架材3に設けられており、上記支柱1の高さ調整に伴う上記肘掛4の高さの変化に追従して上記背凭れ5の高さも変更されるので、便座への着座者は、上記肘掛4と上記背凭れ5の双方を一体として自己の好みに応じた最適状態で使用することができ、これらの相乗効果として、用便使用時の利便性及び快適性に優れたトイレ用介助装置Zを提供できる。
(ロ) 上記各支柱1,1の下端を、上記便器81の幅方向両側において該便器81の前後方向へ向けて平行に接地固定された直状形体をもつ左右一対の接地脚2,2に対して、該接地脚2,2の軸方向へ位置調整可能に固定しているので、上記接地脚2,2全体を着脱することなく、上記支柱1,1の移動という簡単な操作のみによって、上記肘掛4,4及び背凭れ5を一体的に、上記便器81に対してその前後方向へ移動させて便座に着座した使用者の体格あるいは好みの着座姿勢に応じて最適に調整することができ、用便使用時の利便性及び快適性の更なる向上とともに、設置作業及び位置調整作業における作業性の向上が期待できる。
(ハ) 上記背凭れ5を、上記横架材3に対して、前後方向へ傾動可能に、且つ幅方向へ位置調整可能に取付けるようにしているので、上記背凭れ5の傾斜角を、便座に着座した着座者の背中の傾きに対応するように設定することで、該着座者はその背部が上記背凭れ5によって的確に支持され、該着座者に対する高いサポート性が確保される。
As a result, in the assistance device Z of this embodiment, the following operational effects are obtained.
(A) The height of the pair of left and right columns 1, 1 can be adjusted, and the length of the horizontal member 3 that connects the upper ends of the columns 1, 1 can be adjusted. The height position and the widthwise interval of the pair of left and right armrests 4, 4 attached to the upper end of each column 1, 1 or both ends of the horizontal member 3 are determined by the user sitting on the toilet seat 82. The backrest 5 can be optimally adjusted according to the physique or the preferred sitting posture, and the backrest 5 is provided on the horizontal member 3 so that the height of the armrest 4 according to the height adjustment of the column 1 can be adjusted. Following the change, the height of the backrest 5 is also changed, so that a seated person on the toilet seat can use both the armrest 4 and the backrest 5 in an optimum state according to his / her preference. As a synergistic effect of these, a toy with excellent convenience and comfort when using a toilet The assistance device Z for use can be provided.
(B) A pair of left and right grounding legs 2 and 2 having a straight shape fixed to the lower ends of the support columns 1 and 1 parallel to the front and rear direction of the toilet 81 on both sides in the width direction of the toilet 81 On the other hand, since the position of the grounding legs 2 and 2 is fixed so as to be adjustable in the axial direction, only by a simple operation of moving the support pillars 1 and 1 without detaching the entire grounding legs 2 and 2, The armrests 4 and 4 and the backrest 5 can be adjusted optimally according to the physique of the user who sits on the toilet seat by moving the armrest 4 and 4 and the backrest 5 in the front-rear direction with respect to the toilet 81. In addition to the further improvement in convenience and comfort when using the toilet, improvement in workability in installation work and position adjustment work can be expected.
(C) Since the backrest 5 is attached to the horizontal member 3 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction and adjustable in the width direction, the inclination angle of the backrest 5 is set to the toilet seat. By setting so as to correspond to the inclination of the back of the seated occupant, the back of the occupant is accurately supported by the backrest 5 and high supportability for the occupant is ensured.

また、上記背凭れ5が上記横架材3に対してその幅方向へ位置調整可能とされていることで、例えば、上記横架材3の長さを変更して上記左右一対の支柱1,1の対向間隔を変化させた場合においても、上記背凭れ5を上記横架材3の軸方向中央部(換言すれば、上記左右一対の支柱1,1の対向間隔の略中央部)に位置させて、便座への着座者の背中を上記背凭れ5によって確実に且つ安定的にサポートすることができることになる。
G:梱包性
ところで、上記介助装置Zは、これを流通過程におく場合には、これを梱包して出荷するが、この場合、上記介助装置Zがそれ全体として枠状形体をもつことから、これを一体化した状態、あるいはこれに近い状態で梱包すると、必要以上に梱包形体が大きくなり、商品流通上不経済である。
Further, since the backrest 5 can be adjusted in position in the width direction with respect to the horizontal member 3, for example, the length of the horizontal member 3 is changed to change the pair of left and right columns 1, Even when the facing distance of 1 is changed, the backrest 5 is positioned at the axial center part of the horizontal member 3 (in other words, the substantially center part of the facing distance between the pair of left and right columns 1, 1). Thus, the back of the seated person on the toilet seat can be reliably and stably supported by the backrest 5.
G: Packing property By the way, when the said assistance apparatus Z puts this in a distribution process, this is packed and shipped, but in this case, since the said assistance apparatus Z has a frame shape as a whole, If packing is performed in an integrated state or a state close to this, the packing form becomes larger than necessary, which is uneconomical in terms of product distribution.

しかし、この実施形態の介助装置Zにおいては、この梱包性を考慮して、各構成部材を適当に分割することで、よりコンパクトな梱包形体を実現している。   However, in the assistance device Z of this embodiment, in consideration of this packing property, a more compact packing form is realized by appropriately dividing each constituent member.

この実施形態では、図14に示すように、上記介助装置Zを、平面的形体とすることができる部品毎に分解して六つの部品郡A1〜A6に分解して梱包するようにしている。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the assisting device Z is disassembled into parts that can be formed into a planar shape, and is disassembled into six parts groups A1 to A6 and packed.

即ち、一方の支柱1の第2主材12と上記横架材3の第1主材31及び一方の肘掛4で第1物品郡A1を、他方の支柱1の第2主材12と上記横架材3の第2主材32及び他方の肘掛4で第2物品郡A2を、上記背凭れ5で第3の部品郡A3を、一方の支柱1の第1主材11とこれに取付けられた上記ジョイント材22で第4の部品郡A4を、他方の支柱1の第1主材11とこれに取付けられた上記ジョイント材22で第5の部品郡A5を、さらに、二本の上記接地脚2,2で第6の部品郡A6を構成している。   That is, the second main material 12 of one strut 1, the first main material 31 of the horizontal member 3, and the one armrest 4 define the first item group A1, and the second main material 12 of the other strut 1 and the horizontal member. The second main member 32 of the frame member 3 and the other armrest 4 are attached to the second article group A2, the backrest 5 is attached to the third component group A3, and the first main member 11 of one column 1 is attached to this. The joint member 22 is used to connect the fourth component group A4, the first main member 11 of the other support column 1 and the joint member 22 attached to the fifth component group A5, and the two ground members. The legs 2 and 2 constitute a sixth component group A6.
