技術說明

沙發通常是客廳中最主要的家具之一，雖然比較舒適，但坐高較低，並不利於高齡者乘坐，為使高齡者亦能如其他家庭成員一般使用沙發，前期研究曾設計出一可藉由電動推桿升降坐墊的輔助沙發，使用者測試結果顯示，確實有助於高齡者較省力且安全地起身坐下。然而在測試中研究者觀察到，當座面上升至最高點時，受測者雙手無法扶著沙發扶手，而有身體下滑或站不穩的顧慮，進而產生不安全感。本研發係於該沙發上設置一輔助扶手，與腰靠支撐墊連動，當椅墊抬昇時，腰靠支撐墊連動輔助扶手，以同步提供使用者站立時的支撐。相反地，當椅墊下降時可提供使用者坐下時的支撐，避免發生跌坐的情形。 Sofa, as a comfortable furniture compared to a side chair, may be considered as one of most popular furniture in a living room. However, its low seat height may prevent elderly people from using it. A sensor-controlled and motor-powered assistive sofa was proposed in a previous study. It was validated that this sofa was helpful for the elderly sit down and stand up easily and safely. However, it was also observed that most respondents have difficulty in reaching the armrest during the maneuver. A sense of insecure may be caused because of a fear of slippery of seat or the unbalance of the body movement. This invention installed a pair of armrests on the seat of a sofa which are risen in coordinating with the seat and backrest. This provide the user with firm grips while he rises from or sits down on the sofa.
