Therefore, water in the storage space 15 can be naturally drained from the water release 14.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a transfer table attached to a bathtub.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a transfer table 1 attached to a bathtub 2 is connected to a side end of the bathtub 2 so that an upper surface 11 thereof is flush with a frame 21 of the bathtub 2. Is formed. The use of the transfer table 1 makes it easy for a person with a weak body to move between the washing place 3 and the bathtub 2 when taking a bath.

The transfer from the washing place 3 to the bathtub 2 is performed in the following procedure. First, a bather sits on the transfer table 1. Next, the feet are lifted from the washing place 3 and the body is rotated, and the feet are put into the bathtub 2. Next, the body is put in the bathtub 2. The transfer from the bathtub 2 to the washing place 3 can be performed in the reverse order.

[0004] In this way, even a person with weak legs can take a bath without a caregiver.

Also, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-127514, a bather moves between the washing tub and the bath tub by recessing the front edge of the transfer table facing the washing basin deeper than the front edge of the bath tub. On this occasion, a transfer platform that further facilitates the rotation of the body is described.

[0006]

However, in any of the above-mentioned prior arts, the transfer table is merely used for the purpose of moving the bather between the washing place and the bathtub, and the space in the transfer table is not used. There was a problem that it was wasted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide a transfer platform that can be used as a storage space.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transfer table attached to a bathtub, wherein the upper surface of the transfer table is a removable lid, and the lid is provided. The storage space is below.

A transfer platform according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, a drain is provided at a lower end portion of a side surface of the transfer platform facing the washing place.

A transfer platform according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first or second aspect, a handrail is provided at a side end of a removable lid of the transfer platform.

[0011]

In the transfer table according to the first aspect of the present invention, the upper surface of the transfer table is a removable lid, and the space under the lid is a storage space. Therefore, the lid can be used as a transfer table, and by removing the lid, storage items can be taken in and out.

In the transfer platform according to the second aspect of the present invention,
A drain was provided at the lower end of the side of the transfer table facing the washing area. Therefore, even if wet storage is stored or water enters when the lid is removed, the water in the storage space can be drained from the drain.

Further, when the inside of the storage space is cleaned with water, the water can be easily drained from the drain.

In the transfer platform according to the third aspect of the present invention,
A handrail is provided at the side end of the removable lid of the transfer table.
Therefore, when used as a transfer table, the bather can move between the washing area and the bathtub using the handrail as a clue. Also, when used as a storage, the handrail can be used as a handle when opening and closing the lid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of the transfer table of the present invention provided in a bathroom with a part of the lid cut away, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a part of FIG. 1 cut away, and FIG. It is AA sectional drawing. FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing another embodiment of a bathroom provided with a transfer table according to the present invention.

An embodiment of the transfer platform according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, the transfer table 1a is integrally provided between a side end wall W2 of the bathtub 2 and a bathroom wall W1.

In FIG. 2, the upper surface of the bathtub frame 21 of the bathtub 2 and the upper surface of the transfer table 1a are substantially flush. Further, the upper surface of the transfer table 1a is a removable lid 11a,
The space below 1a is a storage space 15.

The storage space 15 is surrounded by a washing floor 31, a bathroom wall 13, a bathroom wall W 1, a side end wall W 2 of the bath tub 2, a transfer stand apron 12, and a lid 11 a integrally raised from the washing floor 31. It is composed of a closed space. Also,
The lid 11a is placed on the placing portion 16 of the bathroom wall 13, the bathroom wall W1, and the side end wall W2 of the bathtub 2. The mounting portion 16 is configured by providing steps on the bathroom wall 13, the bathroom wall W1, and the side end wall W2 of the bathtub 2. A locking projection 111 is provided around the lower surface of the lid 11a so that the lid 11a does not move in the horizontal direction when the lid 11a is closed.

The transfer stand apron 12 is detachably attached to the bathroom wall W1 and the side end wall W2 of the bathtub 2 with a fixture 18 on the side of the transfer stand 1a facing the washing place 3. Here, the mounting tool 18 is composed of an engaging tool 18a and a receiving tool 18b. Further, engaging members 18a are provided at four positions in the upper, lower, left and right directions of the transfer stand apron 12, and receiving members 18b are provided at the positions of the bathroom wall W1 and the side end wall W2 of the bathtub 2 corresponding to the engaging members 18a. Receiving device 18b for engaging device 18a
The transfer table apron 12 is detachably attached by pushing the transfer table apron 12. Further, at the lower end of the transfer table apron 12, a gap is provided between the transfer table apron 12 and the surface of the washing floor 31.
A drain 14 is formed.

By removing the transfer stand apron 12, the storage space 15 can be easily cleaned. In addition, it is also possible to take in and out the stored items from the lateral direction.

By forming the transfer table 1a in this manner, as shown in FIG. 3, a cleaning tool for a bathroom such as a bucket or a mop can be stored in the transfer table 1a.
