Disclosed herein is a mover including a plurality of wheels, a body, and a friction braking mechanism. The body has a bottom surface. The body is supported by the plurality of wheels with the bottom surface facing a traveling surface, and travels on the traveling surface by turning the plurality of wheels. The friction braking mechanism applies a brake on the body with at least a portion of the bottom surface or at least a portion of a movable body brought into contact with the traveling surface by switching, while the body is traveling, a state of the movable body from a first state into a second state. The second state is a state where the movable body protrudes from the bottom surface to a different height from in the first state.

A drug container is arranged in a horizontal state where a central axis extends along a horizontal direction, and the drug container is rotated about the central axis. In such a way, a drug solution in the drug container is moved along an inner surface of the drug container, and the drug container is reciprocally vibrated along the central axis in a state where the drug container is rotated, to stir the drug solution.

Stirring method

A medicine mixing apparatus transfusing a medicine using a syringe includes a medicine cassette holding a medicine container, a lifting unit moving the medicine cassette upward and downward to a middle position or a lower position of a main body while maintaining a horizontal attitude of the medicine cassette, a first holding portion held by the main body, and a second driving unit which drives a plunger of the syringe held by the first holding portion to transfuse the medicine.

A bed includes a first rail, a second rail, a wheelchair having a first armrest mounting unit to and from which the first rail is attached and detached in one side part, and a second armrest mounting unit to and from which the second rail is attached and detached in another side part. A bed main body portion has a first support portion and a second support portion, and the first support portion has a first bed mounting unit to and from which the first rail or the second rail is attached and detached in a front end. The second support portion has a second bed mounting unit to and from which the first rail or the second rail is attached and detached in a front end.

Bed and separating method of the same

A bed is composed of combining a wheelchair and a bed main body portion. The wheelchair has a seating bottom portion composed of bendably coupling a plurality of divided members, a chair bottom support member supporting the seating bottom portion, a chair base portion for fixing the chair bottom support member, and traveling wheels supporting the chair base portion. The bed main body portion has a bed bottom portion composed of bendably coupling a plurality of divided members, a bed bottom support member supporting the bed bottom portion, and a bed base portion for fixing the bed bottom support member. In a case where the wheelchair and the bed main body portion are combined, a support member supporting the seating bottom portion is switched from the chair bottom support member to the bed bottom support member.

A head care apparatus includes a unit base having independently rotatable first and second rotating shafts, a first link fixed on the first rotating shaft, a second link pivotally connected to the fist link, a third link fixed to the second rotating shaft, a fourth link pivotally connected to the third link, a support shaft pivotally connecting between the second and fourth links, an actuator supported by the support shaft, and an adjustment mechanism adjusting a posture of the actuator relative to person's head.

Head care apparatus

Provided is an automatic head care device that can reliably care a person's rear head. The automatic head care device includes a rear-head care unit, the rear-head care unit including contact units, each unit having a rotation gear rotating a plurality of contacts around a central axis of the rotation gear, a third arm rotatably holding the contact units, a cylindrical rack held between the contact units to be movable in an axial direction of the cylindrical rack, the cylindrical rack moving in the axial direction to rotate the rotation gears in opposite directions, and a motor for oscillating the contacts of the contact units by moving the cylindrical rack.

Automatic head care device and automatic head care method

A drug transferring needle includes a needle base portion, a first needle portion having therein an air passage, and a second needle portion longer than the first needle portion and arranged parallel to the first needle portion. In the first needle portion, a first air vent being one end of the air passage is provided on a distal end side of the second needle portion from a second air vent being the other end of the air passage. In the second needle portion, one end of a liquid passage is connected to the inside of the needle base portion, and the other end thereof is a liquid pass opening of the second needle portion. The second needle portion has a distal end having the liquid pass opening, a base portion connected to the needle base portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the distal end and the base portion.

Drug transferring needle and drug transferring method

An automatic head care device includes independently rotated first rotational driving shaft and second rotational driving shaft, a first link having one end fixed to the first rotational driving shaft, a second link having one end rotatably connected to another end of the first link, a third link having one end fixed to the second rotational driving shaft, a fourth link having one end rotatably connected to another end of the third link, a working shaft rotatably connecting another end of the second link to another end of the fourth link, a working body caring the person's head, the working body being rotatably supported by the working shaft, and a control unit controlling rotation of the first rotational driving shaft and the second rotational driving shaft.

An omni-directional electric vehicle includes: a body having a chair portion; an operation detection unit which detects an operation direction and an operation amount of an operation input; a travel control information generation unit which generates, based on the operation direction and the operation amount, travel control information including (i) a target straight-movement speed for moving the body in a forward/backward direction and (ii) a target rotation speed for rotating the body about a rotation center; and a control unit which drives a movement mechanism of the body according to the travel control information. The travel control information generation unit-changes, based on the target straight-movement speed, the rotation center for the target rotation speed from a reference position which is set virtually and fixedly to the body in the forward/backward direction.
