DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathtub pillow which is used by being placed on an edge of a bathtub.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 3-78468, a bathtub pillow mounted on an edge of a bathtub has been known.

In such a conventional bathtub pillow, a plate-like support member is provided protruding behind a hollow headrest, and a suction cup is attached to the lower surface of the plate-like support member. The headrest is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the side wall of the bathtub, and the suction cup of the plate-shaped support member is adsorbed to the shelf surface beside the bathtub.

[0004]

However, in the conventional bathtub pillow, the headrest is merely brought into close contact with the inner surface of the side wall of the bathtub and is not supported from below. , There is a risk that the headrest may fall down, and it cannot be used safely.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional bath pillows, and an object of the present invention is to solve the problems in the conventional bath pillows and to provide a head rest. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathtub pillow that can be used safely without the headrest portion falling down even when the head is placed.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathtub pillow provided with a contact surface portion for placing on a top surface of an edge of the bathtub below a headrest portion. A support arm is provided in an inverted U-shape from both ends in front of the headrest, and a rear surface of the support arm is brought into contact with or approaching the inner surface of the edge of the bathtub.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathtub pillow provided with a contact surface for placing on a top surface of an edge of the bathtub below the headrest, and supporting arms from front ends of the headrest. The support arms are vertically inverted, and the support arms are connected to each other by a connection surface having a concave front surface, so that the support arms and the rear surface of the connection surface abut or approach the side surface of the bathtub. It is characterized by the following.

In the pillow for a bathtub according to the third aspect of the present invention, a suction cup is provided on the rear surface of the support arm or on the lower surface of the contact surface, so that the support arm can be attracted to the inner surface of the edge of the bathtub. It is characterized by the following.

In the present invention, the material of the bath pillow is not particularly limited as long as it can be put on the head and placed on the edge of the bath tub. Or soft vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene,
Synthetic resins such as polypropylene, FRP, and ABS resins, and rubber-based compositions such as natural rubber and isoprene can be used, but they are preferably used because the synthetic resins are lightweight and rich in water resistance.

In the tub pillow according to the first aspect of the present invention, a contact surface is provided below the headrest for mounting on the edge of the bathtub. It can be used safely by placing the contact surface on the head and placing the head on the headrest.

[0011] Further, since the support arms are vertically inverted from the both ends in front of the headrest, and the rear surface of the support arms comes into contact with or approaches the side surface of the bathtub, the side surface of the face and The neck is received by the supporting arm, the head is stabilized, and the headrest does not move, so that it can be used safely.

In the pillow for a bathtub according to the second aspect,
Further, since the inverted U-shaped supporting arms are connected by a connecting surface having a concave front surface (the surface contacting the lower part of the head or the neck), the supporting arms are hardly broken even when a load is applied thereto, and are excellent in strength. , Can support the head more stably.

[0013] In the pillow for a bathtub according to claim 3,
A suction cup is provided on the back surface of the support arm or the lower surface of the contact surface, and the suction arm allows the support arm or headrest to be adsorbed to the edge of the bathtub. By doing so, the headrest can be more firmly fixed to the edge of the bathtub.

[0014]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a plan view showing an example of a bathtub pillow of the present invention, and FIG.
