PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a care taker assist device having a novel structure, capable of reducing a physical burden on a care taker and also allowing the care taker to perform care work without exerting ache or anxiety on a care receiver when performing care work such as transferring or changing a posture of the care receiver while holding up the care receiver.SOLUTION: On a truck part 16 movable on a floor face, a link mechanism 58 is provided, the link mechanism pin-joined with four or more links 60 with a joint 62 so as to be relatively inclined. On a link 60a, a trunk assist part 66 supporting a trunk of a care taker 12 is provided. On a link 60c, a support part 68 brought into contact with a trunk of a care receiver 14 is provided. An actuator 20 supported by the truck part 16 is connected with the link mechanism 58, output of the actuator 20 causes the link mechanism 58 to output-operate, and output motion of the link mechanism 58 causes the trunk assist part 66 and the support part 68 to be relatively displaced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 |
