DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple bathtub for nursing care for a person who needs assistance, and all the members constituting the bathtub are made of a foldable waterproof sheet so that the bathtub can be used at the time of use. It is characterized by providing convenience for front and rear care, transportation and storage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bathtubs of this type include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2590854, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-18531, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-82434, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-268.
No. 63, registered utility model No. 3026437, and the like.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional simple tub has an integral shape as a whole, has an assembling type bathtub frame made of a pipe, or has a problem in that the bathtub and its shape-retaining support during use are unstable. There was a drawback.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an air supply / discharge port, has four sides formed in a substantially rectangular cross section, and leaves an adequate margin on the inner circumference. An airbag-type bathtub frame member that forms a space of the size in which it lays, and is fitted into the bathtub frame member with a drain port, and is folded outward at an appropriate width along the upper edge of the frame member. A folding edge is provided, and the folding edge is provided with a tightening string, while a bottom back surface is provided with a cushion portion at a central portion so as to designate a mounting position of the bathtub frame member,
An object of the present invention is to provide a simple bathtub for nursing care comprising a combination with a bathtub member made of a waterproof sheet integrally provided with a waterproof sheet whose peripheral edge is laid around a bathtub.

In the bathtub of the present invention constructed as described above, since all of the bathtub frame member and the bathtub member with the waterproof sheet maintain a predetermined shape when used, and are made of a foldable waterproof sheet, they are not used. The volume can be minimized during storage, storage, and transportation. In addition, the above two members can be individually replaced with new ones as necessary, such as damage. Further, the bathtub member according to the present invention can waterproof the surroundings from water droplets scattered outside the bathtub by extending the waterproof sheet integrally provided on the bottom rear surface.
The cushion formed at the center of the seat functions as a cushion for protecting a bather from a hard floor or the like, and is used as a guide when the bathtub frame member is placed on a waterproof sheet on which the cushion is extended. Therefore, it is easy to always keep the bathtub at a predetermined installation position.

The bathtub member according to the present invention has a bathtub frame member whose cross section has been expanded to have a substantially square shape by air pressure when used, so that the four sides are held from the outside. You can keep shape. Further, since the tub member is tightened by the string at the folded edge that is folded outward along the upper edge of the tub frame member, the fitting state with the tub frame member is stabilized.

In the present invention, a belt is inserted transversely through a waterproof sheet provided on the bottom rear surface of the bathtub member, and the belt is passed over the assembled bathtub frame member from the outside of the bathtub member. Is applied to the upper surface of the bathtub member, the hot water supplied to the bathtub can be prevented from evaporating and the temperature can be reduced, and the bath can be shielded to provide a safe bath. Furthermore, if an air bag for hair washing is used, the hair can be washed while lying on the back in the bathtub.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is an airbag-type bathtub frame member, 2 is a bathtub member fitted to the inner periphery of the inflated bathtub frame member 1, and 3 is integrally provided on the bottom rear surface of the bathtub member 2, A waterproof sheet that has a cushion portion 4 on its upper surface and extends around the bathtub and is laid on the floor surface. Each of the members 1, 2, and 3 is made of a waterproof foldable canvas or a similar waterproof sheet. .

When pressurized air is injected from the air supply / discharge port 5 of the bathtub frame member 1, the bathtub frame member 1 expands its four circumferences into a substantially rectangular cross section.
It is a bottomless, substantially rectangular frame which forms a space large enough to allow a person to lie down on the inner circumference and keeps the bathtub member 2 from the outside, and which can be folded by exhaust.

The bathtub member 2 has a drainage port 6 near the bottom, and has a folded edge 7 that is folded outward along the upper edge of the bathtub frame member 1 during use, and is provided along the end of the folded edge 7. By tightening the string 9 inserted into the bag-shaped portion 8, the gap with the bathtub frame member 1 during bathing or the like can be prevented.

The cushion portion 4 provided on the upper surface of the central portion of the waterproof sheet 3 functions as a cushion material at the bottom of the bathtub member 2 and also serves as a guide when the bathtub frame member 1 is placed on the extended sheet 3. Is being used. In addition, the waterproof sheet 3 is separately prepared by wrapping the belt 11 inserted through the openings 10 provided at the center portions on both sides from the outside of the bathtub frame member 1 and the bathtub member 2 in use and tightening the buckle 12. By being able to hang the covered carber sheet 13, the hot water supplied is prevented from evaporating and the temperature is lowered, and is used to shield the bather.

Further, the bathtub member 2 includes the cover sheet 1 described above.
3 is provided with a hair-washing airbag 14 fitted to one end of a bathtub.

FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (d) illustrate an example of a method of using the bath tub configured as described above in the order of operation. The example of use will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a drain hose 15 is connected to the drain port 6 of the bathtub member 2, the waterproof sheet 3 is extended and laid at a desired position, and the bather is laid in the folded bathtub member 2. Wrap around.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, the bathtub frame member 1 inflated with pressurized air is placed on the outer periphery of the bathtub member 2 with the cushion portion 4 as a guide, and as shown in FIG.
The peripheral surface of the bathtub member 2 is extended upward from the bottom, and is folded outward at the upper edge of the bathtub frame member 1. The folded edge 7 is tightened with a cord 8 so that hot water can be supplied. 13 can be multiplied. Also,
The hair-washing air bag 14 is fitted into one end of the bathtub (see FIG. 4D).

The hot water to be supplied to the bathtub member 2 assembled as described above is stored in, for example, an ordinary bathtub in advance, and a required amount is drawn and poured.

In practicing the present invention, the shapes and the like of the respective members are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and it is needless to say that the design may be arbitrarily changed in accordance with the gist of the present invention.

[0017]

According to the present invention configured as described above,
As described above, all the members are made of a foldable waterproof sheet, so that they are suitable for storing and carrying. In addition, sanitary maintenance performed before and after use is easy, and installation at a predetermined position or a desired position can be easily performed. Since the bathtub member is sufficiently provided with shape-retaining properties, there are extremely many excellent effects such as stable bathing.
