PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure in which a footrest applied with big impact force can be collapsed and robustly supported in a delivery apparatus for promoting delivery by giving an impact to a pregnant woman.SOLUTION: In a delivery apparatus for promoting delivery by applying impact force to a pregnant woman, a footrest 16 for holding both feet of a pregnant woman is mounted on a delivery table B through a hinge so that the footrest can be collapsed on the delivery table B. In addition, a support plate 17 is disposed on the back side of the footrest 16, and hinges 18 are interposed between the bottom end of the support plate and a part of the delivery table so that the support plate can be collapsed. The top end of the support plate 17 and the footrest 16 are connected to each other through an attachment/detachment tool 19. The support plate 17 is reinforced by joining reinforcement means to the inner surface thereof. Prop members 20 for supporting the footrest 16 from the back side of the footrest 16 are provided on the support plate 17.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】妊婦に衝撃を与えることで分娩を促進する分娩装置において、大きな衝撃力が加わる踏み台を折り畳み式にかつ堅牢に支持できる構造を実現する。【解決手段】妊婦に衝撃力を与えることで分娩を促進する分娩装置において、妊婦の両足を保持する踏み台16を分娩台Bの上に折り畳めるようにヒンジを介して取付け、しかも踏み台16の裏側に、折り畳めるように下端にヒンジ18を介在させた支持板17を配置し、この支持板17の先端と踏み台16とを着脱具19で連結する構造であり、前記支持板17の内面に補強手段を接合して補強してある。この踏み台16の裏側から踏み台16を支持するつっかい手段20を設けてある。【選択図】図4
