PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer support device preventing a care receiver from being pressed by being pinched between a body holder and a sitting object by the body holder, and allowing easy and rapid transfer movement.SOLUTION: This transfer support device 10 includes: a support 11 a strut 13 having one end tiltably installed to the support 11 the body holder 30 provided in the other end of the strut 13, and held by the care receiver P a drive means 20 tilting the strut 13 a measurement means 40 measuring an interval between the body holder 30 and the sitting object 60 and a control means 50 for controlling the drive means 20. The control means 50 controls the drive means 20 based on the interval measured by the measurement means 40 in an operation to bring the body holder 30 close to the care receiver P so as to make the body holder 30 hold the care receiver P sitting on the sitting object 60.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】被介護者が身体保持具により着座物との間に挟み込まれて圧迫されるといった事態を防ぐことができ、しかも当該移乗動作を簡易、迅速に行うことができる移乗支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明に係る移乗支援装置10は、支持台11と、支持台11に対して一端が傾動自在に取り付けられた支柱13と、支柱13の他端部に設けられ、被介護者Pが保持する身体保持具30と、支柱13を傾動させる駆動手段20と、身体保持具30と着座物60との間の間隔を計測する計測手段40と、駆動手段20を制御するための制御手段50と、を備える。制御手段50は、着座物60に着座する被介護者Pを身体保持具30に保持させるべく、身体保持具30を被介護者Pに近付ける動作において、計測手段40が計測した間隔に基づいて駆動手段20を制御する。【選択図】図1
