PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a care bed apparatus at a low cost which can be used at a place with no electric source, and can prevent having a bedsore by inclining a bed by a person to be cared even when a care person does not attend.SOLUTION: The rocking type care bed includes: a bed 1 comprising a head part supporting stand for supporting the head part of a person to be cared a body supporting stand for supporting the body part of the person to be cared a leg part supporting stand for supporting the leg parts of the person to be cared and head part side plates 21 and 22, body part side plates 9 and 10, and leg parts side plate 12, each stood on both side end parts of each supporting stand. The rocking type care bed apparatus also includes: a base stand 2 for supporting the bed horizontally and in rocking way around a horizontal axial line extending in the longitudinal direction and a rocking mechanism for rocking the bed horizontally and around the horizontal axial line extending in the longitudinal direction. The rocking mechanism includes a rocking handle 61 arranged in a range where the hand of the person to be cared can reach the range and is rocked with the bed and rotated by inputting the human power of the person to be cared to rock the bed horizontally and a bed driving mechanism in which rotation is input through the transmitting mechanism and velocity reducing mechanism 64 from a rocking handle 61 to rock the bed sideways.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】電源のない場所で使用でき、しかも介護者が付き添っていなくても被介護者が自分でベッドを傾斜させて床擦れを防止できる介護用ベッド装置を安価に提供する。【解決手段】被介護者の頭部を支持する頭部支持台、被介護者の胴部を支持する胴部支持台および、被介護者の脚部を支持する脚部支持台と、各支持台の両側端部にそれぞれ立設された頭部側板21、22、胴部側板9、10、および脚部側板12と、を有するベッド1を、その長手方向に延在する水平軸線周りに横向に揺動可能に支持する基台2と、ベッドをその長手方向に延在する水平軸線周りに横向に揺動させる揺動機構と、を具えてなり、揺動機構は、被介護者の手が届く範囲に配置されてベッドと一緒に揺動するとともに、被介護者の人力を入力されて回転する揺動用ハンドル61から伝動機構および減速機構64を介して回転を入力されてベッドを横向に揺動させるベッド駆動機構と、を有する。【選択図】図1
