PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a back raising mechanism and a nursing bed, which can raise and lower side plate parts with a simple structure and can achieve down-sizing and weight saving.SOLUTION: A back raising mechanism comprises: a backrest part 21 which is rotatably provided in a floor plate body part 4 and can be raised and lowered with respect to the floor plate body part 4 side plate parts 23 which are rotatably provided in the backrest part 21 and can be raised and lowered with respect to the backrest part 21 operation arms 32 provided in the side plate parts 23 and a cam bar 14 provided in a floor plate body part 4, with which the operation arms 32 come into contact when at least the backrest part 21 is turned from a lowered state to a raised state. The cam bar 14 applies a force toward a raising direction of the side plate parts 23 to the operation arms 32 when the operation arms 32 come into contact therewith.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡素な構造で側板部を起伏動作させることができると共に、小型化、軽量化を図ることができる背上げ機構および介護用ベッドを提供する。【解決手段】床板本体部4に回動自在に設けられ、床板本体部4に対して起伏動作可能な背当て部21と、背当て部21に回動自在に設けられ、背当て部21に対して起伏動作可能な側板部23と、側板部23に設けられた作動アーム32と、床板本体部4に設けられ、少なくとも背当て部21を倒伏状態から起立状態に回動させる途中で作動アーム32が当接するカムバー14と、を備え、カムバー14は、作動アーム32が当接した際、作動アーム32に側板部23を起立させる方向に向かう力を作用させる。【選択図】図3
