FIG. 5A is a plan view showing how to sew a band in the assistance belt 500. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ of FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the seam in the long side direction of the band is arranged such that the seam is located at the center in the short side direction of the band in a state where the seam allowance is broken. Next, the top of the seam is sewn by zigzag sewing of the sewing machine, and the seam allowance is pressed from above (see FIG. 5A).

  In the case of a normal sewing method, at least four sheets of belt fabric are overlapped in the vicinity of the seam, resulting in an increase in thickness of the belt. On the other hand, according to this sewing method, since the fabrics are stacked three (see FIG. 5B), the band can be tailored thinly. Sliding of the belt is good due to the thin tailoring. In addition, even when the assistance belt 500 is worn for a long time, it is comfortable to sit on and does not place a burden on the wearer's skin.

  Next, the usage method of the assistance belt 500 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Below, the example which attaches an assistance belt to the caregiver who is sleeping and transfers a caregiver to a wheelchair is demonstrated. It is assumed that the person being assisted is sleeping on the bed and wearing the assistance belt 500 of the present embodiment over the clothes of the person being assisted.

  FIG. 6 shows a situation where the person being assisted wears the assistance belt 500. FIG. 7 shows a state where the assistance belt 500 has been attached to the person being assisted. A method for causing the person being assisted to wear the assistance belt according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the assistant 600 causes the assistant 400 who is sleeping on the bed to wear the assistance belt 500. At this time, the cloth body 230 of the assistance belt 500 is directed toward the buttocks side of the person being assisted 400, the right leg of the person being assisted is passed through the right annular part 250R of the assistance belt 500, and the left leg is passed through the left annular part 250L. Further, the belt portion 10 of the assistance belt 500 is pulled up around the body of the person being assisted 400.

  Since the first to third belts of the assistance belt 500 are made of a slippery cloth such as a nylon material, the assistance belt 500 is easy to slip even from the top of the clothes. In addition, according to the cloth body 230 on the buttock side of the assistance belt 500 of the present embodiment, even a person who is difficult to move freely can easily slip under the buttock of the person being assisted 400. Can be easily worn around the waist.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the assistance belt 500 is attached to the waist of the person being assisted 400. On the front surface of the person being assisted 400, the first belt 110 of the belt unit 10 is fastened with, for example, a ribbon knot. Further, the buckle 122 at both ends of the belt 120 is fastened from above the knot 112 of the first belt 110 to fasten the belt. The belt 120 can be adjusted to a desired length.

  The belt part 10 can be stably used in the wearer's waist by being provided with the first belt 110 and the belt 120. In addition, since the width of the belt 110 is wider than the width of the belt 120, it is possible to avoid the belt 120 from biting into the wearer's 140 body and causing pain.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the second band 210 and the third band 220 intersect at the crotch portion of the person being assisted 400. Both intersecting portions 240 are sewn and hold the inseam of the wearer 400 at that portion. Furthermore, the holding part 20 of the assistance belt 500 holds the buttock of the person being assisted 400 by the second and third bands 210 and 220 and the cloth body 230 on the heel side of the person being assisted (see FIG. 8). ).

  Thus, the holding part 20 of the assistance belt 500 is worn by the person being assisted in pants. Moreover, since the assistance belt 500 is a nylon material and is light and soft, it can be worn like a pants. Therefore, the discomfort caused by wearing the assistance belt 500 is not caused. As described above, the assistance belt according to the present embodiment is easy to handle for the assistant, and the person being assisted is less painful.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, at the front side and the abdomen of the care recipient 400, the respective ends 211 and 221 of the second and third bands 210 and 220 are attached to the belt portion 10 so as to be shifted to the left and right. Yes. The assistance belt 500 is not provided with a cloth body 230 (see FIG. 8) on the front side of the wearer 400. For this reason, the assistant can cause the person being assisted to urinate while wearing the assistance belt 500.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of use of the grip portion on the back side of the assistance belt. FIG. 8 shows a state where the assistant 600 grasps the grip 30 of the assistance belt 500 and supports the body of the person 400 to be seated on the bed 700.

  When the person to be assisted 400 who is sleeping on an electric bed or the like is raised from the bed 700, the person to be assisted 400 often rubs down below the bed 700 when the bed 700 is raised. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 8, the body 400 can be lifted by grasping the grip portion 330 on the back side of the assistance belt 500 to adjust the position of the person being assisted.

  For example, first, the bed 700 is electrically lifted to raise the body of the person being assisted 400, and then the body is rotated by approximately 90 degrees using the side gripping portions 310, 320, etc., so as to be perpendicular to the long side of the bed. Like that. Next, holding the back side gripping part 330, the body of the person being assisted 400 is shifted to the front and is seated on the bed 700. Since the assistance belt 500 is a slippery cloth, even if the body of the person being assisted 400 is large and heavy, the body of the person being assisted 400 can be easily displaced by pulling with the grip 330.

  By attaching a plurality of gripping portions 30 installed at two places on both sides of the wearer and one on the rear side, the caregiver can easily find the gripping portion 30 by, for example, groping. Easy to hold from the direction.

In FIG. 9, the assistant 600 grasps the grip 30 of the assistance belt 500 with both hands and tries to lift the body of the assistant 400 sitting on the bed 700. In FIG. 10, the caregiver 400 grasps the grasping portion 30 of the assistance belt with both hands, and lifts the body of the care recipient 400 from the bed 700.

  The caregiver 600 lifts the body of the person being assisted 400 by holding the grips 310 and 320 located on both sides of the person being assisted 400 with both hands. Since the holding portion 20 of the assistance belt 500 is formed in a planar shape by the second and third bands 210 and 220 and the cloth body 230, the pain such as the assistance belt 500 bites into the crotch when the body is lifted.

Furthermore, since the grip part 30 is attached to a sufficiently strong belt 120, it can be lifted stably.

  As shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, since the grip portion 30 is attached in an arch shape that protrudes from the belt portion 10, an assistant can grip it with a bag. In general, the person being assisted 400 may be difficult and dangerous to stand up because his / her muscles weaken due to long years of illness and the like, and his ability to support the body is weak. On the other hand, the gripper 30 can be grasped instantaneously by the assistant 600 due to the shape characteristics, and the danger such as the fall of the assistant 400 can be avoided.

  Furthermore, the assistant 600 can support the person being assisted 400 while holding the grip portions 310 and 320 and can quickly sit on the wheelchair when the assistant 600 stands up from the bed. Here, it is often difficult for the person being assisted 400 who has lost his / her strength to sit down by himself. Therefore, when the caregiver 600 is not satisfactorily seated, the caregiver 400 continues to sit in a bad posture and gives pain. On the other hand, generally, when lifting the body and causing the person being assisted 400 to sit down again, a large force is required.
