PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation device which can reduce the possibility that an operating part (a dedicated keyboard) is damaged when a subject is moved from a general bed to a medical bed.SOLUTION: An operation device 160 is configured to be attachable to the side part of a bed body 120 on which a subject is placed and includes: an operating part 162 to operate a biological information monitor (electronic equipment) and a rotating mechanism which rotates the operating part 162 from a position where an operation face 165 of the operating part 162 faces the upper direction of the bed body 120 to a position where the operation face faces the side of the bed body 120. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operating part 162 from protruding to the outside of a bed 100, thereby achieving the elimination of the risk that the operation device is damaged or erroneous operation is caused because the subjects foot or the like hits the operating part 162 when the subject is moved or the like from a general bed to the bed 100 (from the bed 100 to the general bed).COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】被検者が一般ベッドから医療用ベッドに移動する際、操作部(専用キーボード)が損傷してしまう可能性を減らすことができる操作装置を提供する。【解決手段】被検者が載せられるベッド本体120の側部に取り付け可能な操作装置160において、生体情報モニタ(電子機器)を操作するための操作部162と、操作部162を操作部162の操作面165がベッド本体120の上方を向いた位置からベッド本体120の側方を向いた位置に回転させる回転機構とを備える。これにより、ベッド100の外側に操作部162が突出することを防止することができ、被検者が一般ベッドからベッド100(ベッド100から一般ベッド)に移動する際等において、被検者の足等が操作部162に当たって操作装置に損傷を与えたり、誤操作を招く恐れをなくすことができる。【選択図】図1
