PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a standing-up assisting device, which enables an assist receiver to safely stand up without feeling uneasy.SOLUTION: An electric cylinder 26 is covered with an outer casing 16 and an inner casing 22 vertically movable inside the outer casing 16, and a hugging tool 38 around which the assist receiver can throw his/her arms is provided at an upper portion of the inner casing 22. The hugging tool 38 includes an arm support 42 for supporting the portion extending from the elbow to the upper arm of the assist receiver. Since the posture hugging the hugging tool 38 is close the posture held by a helper, the assist receiver never has a sense of discomfort or uneasiness such that he/she is mechanically assisted. Further, since shaking or dislocation of the body in an assisted state can be reduced to stabilize the posture by hugging the hugging tool 38, the assist receiver can safely stand up.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】補助を受ける者が不安を覚えることなく安全に立ち上がることができる立ち上がり補助装置を提供する。【解決手段】電動シリンダ26を外筐体16と外筐体16の内側を上下移動可能な内筐体22で覆い、内筐体22の上部には補助を受ける者が両腕を回して抱きつくことができる抱きつき具38を設け、抱きつき具38には補助を受ける者の肘から上腕にかけての部位を支える腕支持具42を設けた。抱きつき具38に抱きついた姿勢は介助者に抱きかかえられているときの姿勢に近いため、機械的な補助を受けているといった違和感や不安感を覚えることはない。また抱きつき具38に抱きつくことにより、補助を受けている間の身体の揺れやぶれが抑えられて姿勢が安定するため、安全に立ち上がることができる。【選択図】図1
