DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom formed so as to be able to take a comfortable bath, and more particularly to a bathroom with a bay window and a bathtub used in the bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of bathroom, for example, there is a bathroom in which a bay window is formed on the short side of a bathtub from the short side to a washing place (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-66328).
Reference).

[0003] Conventionally, as a proposal relating to a washing place constituting a bathroom, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-45879, a bather sits at a corner facing the washing place on the upper edge of a bathtub. There is a thing which formed the buttocks mounting surface large enough to hang.

[0004]

By the way, in a bathroom with a bay window, a bathroom space is enlarged by a bay window so that a bath can be more comfortably taken. Therefore, a bath tub used directly for bathing must be as long as possible. Preferably, it is formed so that it can be installed.

[0005] However, for example, when renovating an existing bathroom to a bathroom with this type of bay window, if the building foundation on the bay window side is broken and a long bath tub is installed on it, even if the bath tub can be enlarged, the renovation work can be performed. A great deal of time and money is required.

[0006] Also, as in the above-mentioned prior art relating to a washing place, if a bottom surface is formed in a bathtub, elderly people and people with incapacities can take a bath using this location. It is possible to provide an easy-to-use bathroom that is kind and gentle to the elderly and the like.

However, according to this conventional product, since the bottom surface of the bathtub protrudes toward the washing place, it is inevitable that the space of the washing place becomes narrow. Also, in order to eliminate such disadvantages, if the butt-mounting surface is formed in a bathtub so that it does not protrude into the washing place, the washroom space is limited due to the housing situation in Japan, where the bathroom itself cannot be made too large. Even if it can be secured, there is a problem that the bath space of the bathtub is narrowed.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation,
It is a proposal. Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is:
In bathrooms with bay windows, it is possible to install a long and large bathtub beyond the foundation of the building without breaking the building foundation on the bay window side, and entering and leaving the bath with the buttocks on the bathtub will reduce the washing area. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom with a bay window which is formed so as to be possible without compromising the comfort of the bathtub and which is kind and gentle to the elderly and the like.

The technical problem of the bathtub of the present invention is that the bathtub can be arranged beyond the base of the building without breaking the base of the bay window, not only to be able to perform a half-body bathing while sitting down, but also to have a posture in which the buttocks are placed. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub used for a bathroom with a bay window, which is formed so as to be capable of entering and exiting a bath.
