Abstract

The device consists of a plate (1) dimensioned and shaped for location across the upper part of a conventional bath tub (B). The plate includes a large cut-out (2) in one edge, corresponding in position to the edge of the bath tub.The lower part of the plate is shaped to prevent slippage relative to the bath tub in a direction perpendicular to the edge including the cut-out. The cut-out may alternatively consist of a hole of similar shape through the plate, giving an uninterrupted plate edge surface.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif pour ablutions intimes. The present invention relates to a device for intimate ablutions.

Depuis très longtemps, les salles de bains sont équipées de bidets. Bathrooms have been fitted with bidets for a very long time.

Comme on le sait un bidet est une sorte de cuvette basse sur laquelle l'usager peut s'asseoir et qui permet, entre autres, de procéder à la toilette intime.As we know, a bidet is a kind of low bowl on which the user can sit and which allows, among other things, to carry out personal hygiene.

Depuis quelques temps, on constate que ces appareils ont tendance à disparaître des salles de bains. Cette disparition semble liée à deux facteurs. Le premier résulte du fait de l'exiguïté des salles de bains qui ne peuvent pas contenir, à la fois un iavabo, une baignoire et un bidet. Le second facteur est lié au coût de l'installation d'un bidet qui nécessite des branchements pour acheminer l'eau, chaude et froide, et pour évacuer les eaux usées. For some time, we have noticed that these devices have tended to disappear from bathrooms. This disappearance seems linked to two factors. The first results from the small size of the bathrooms which cannot contain, at the same time an iavabo, a bathtub and a bidet. The second factor is related to the cost of installing a bidet, which requires connections to carry water, hot and cold, and to evacuate waste water.

Naturellement, il est toujours possible d'utiliser la baignoire pour procéder à la toilette intime, mais cela implique d'entrer dans la baignoire, où on est mal à son aise pour procéder à ce genre d'opération, et d'avoir ôter, au préalable ,ses vêtements. Naturally, it is always possible to use the bathtub to carry out the intimate toilet, but that implies to enter the bathtub, where one is uncomfortable to carry out this kind of operation, and to have to remove, beforehand, his clothes.

De ce fait, la seule solution pour tenter de remédier à ces inconvénients consiste à s'asseoir sur le bord de la baignoire, les jambes pendant à l'extérieur de celle-ci. Therefore, the only solution to try to remedy these drawbacks is to sit on the edge of the bath, legs hanging outside of it.

II est évident qu'une telle position est très inconfortable et est pratiquement impossible à tenir si les pieds ne reposent pas sur le sol ou sur un petit escabeau par exemple. It is obvious that such a position is very uncomfortable and is practically impossible to hold if the feet do not rest on the ground or on a small stepladder for example.

Le dispositif de l'invention, qui remédie à tous ces inconvénients, est constitué par un plateau, présentant une large échancrure sur l'un de ses cotés, pouvant être posé sur une baignoire. The device of the invention, which overcomes all these drawbacks, consists of a tray, having a wide notch on one of its sides, which can be placed on a bathtub.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé, à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lequel
-la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du dispositif de l'invention;
-la figure 2 est une vue, analogue à celle 1, montrant une variante de réalisation.
The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawing, by way of indicative example only, in which
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the device of the invention;
FIG 2 is a view, similar to that 1, showing an alternative embodiment.

En se reportant au dessin on voit que le dispositif de l'invention est constitué, essentiellement, par un plateau 1, présentant une large échancrure 2, dont les dimensions sont telles qu'il est possible de le poser sur une baignoire schématisée en B sur le dessin. Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the device of the invention consists essentially of a plate 1, having a wide notch 2, the dimensions of which are such that it is possible to place it on a bathtub shown diagrammatically at B on the drawing.

Ce plateau constitue donc une surface portante sur laquelle l'usager peut s'installer confortablement que ses pieds reposent,ou non, au sol. L'eau utilisée pour la toilette retombe dans la baignoire par l'échancrure 2. This tray therefore constitutes a bearing surface on which the user can comfortably settle whether his feet rest, or not, on the ground. The water used for the toilet falls back into the bathtub through the notch 2.

Des moyens peuvent être utilisés pour assurer le positionnement du plateau amovible et s'opposer à un glissement intempestif. Means can be used to ensure the positioning of the removable tray and to prevent untimely sliding.

A cet effet et selon un mode de réalisation, les côtés 3 du plateau, adjacents à celui 4 comportant l'échancrure 2, présentent, chacun, une extension médiane 5 se recourbant vers le bas et s'insérant entre les bords de la baignoire. De cette façon, on s'oppose efficacement au déplacement du plateau selon une direction perpendiculaire aux grands cotés de la baignoire. To this end and according to one embodiment, the sides 3 of the tray, adjacent to that 4 having the notch 2, each have a median extension 5 curving downwards and fitting between the edges of the bathtub. In this way, we effectively oppose the movement of the tray in a direction perpendicular to the long sides of the bathtub.

Pour améliorer le confort et1 ou, la rigidité du dispositif,
I'échancrure peut être remplacée par une large ouverture 6 comme cela ressort de la figure 2.
To improve comfort and1 or, the rigidity of the device,
The notch can be replaced by a large opening 6 as shown in FIG. 2.

Le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit est totalement amovible. The device which has just been described is completely removable.

Toutefois, lorsque la baignoire est accolée contre une cloison, on peut concevoir d'articuler le côté 7 du plateau, opposé à celui 4, contre ladite cloison pour permettre le relevage du dispositif lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.However, when the bathtub is placed against a partition, it is conceivable to articulate the side 7 of the plate, opposite to that 4, against said partition to allow the device to be raised when it is not in use.

Dans le même esprit, on peut concevoir d'articuler le plateau 1 selon l'un de ses côtés 3 lorsque la baignoire est disposée dans un angle.  In the same spirit, it is conceivable to articulate the tray 1 along one of its sides 3 when the bathtub is arranged in a corner.
