DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed with a bathtub for a cared person such as a handicapped person, a bedridden elderly person, and a sick person who needs nursing care.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art People who are bedridden and have physical disabilities
When taking care of a cared person who needs nursing care for an elderly person, a sick person, etc., several carers carry the cared person to a bathtub, and the caregiver holds the cared person in the bathtub. Therefore, taking a bath for the cared person puts a heavy burden on the cared person, which not only takes time and effort, but also places a burden on the cared person due to movement and unreasonable posture.

[0003] For this reason, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-51340 discloses a bed that can be used by a person with a physical disability or a bedridden elderly person to take a bath in a posture of being laid down without moving from the bed. It has been disclosed. When used as a normal bed, this bed also serves as a bed with both side frames supported horizontally on the bed base, while when used as a bathtub, it is mounted on the bed base. Raise and fix the frames on both sides to form a box-shaped bathtub body, lay a waterproof sheet inside the bathtub body,
The hot water can be used as a bathtub.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned bed which is also used as a bathtub, when the waterproof sheet is laid, the care receiver lying on the bed is turned over on one side and the other side is turned on. It is necessary to lay a waterproof sheet on the empty bed first, and then turn the care recipient over on the bed with the waterproof sheet, so setting the waterproof sheet takes time and effort, and the care recipient takes a bath. Since the lower side of the body is in contact with the waterproof sheet inside, when washing the lower side of the body, it is necessary to wash with the cared person holding it, which places a burden on the caregiver and the cared person There is a disadvantage that. In addition, since the edge of the waterproof sheet is simply folded and set on the bed, the waterproof sheet may fall to the bathtub side and spill hot water. Also, in the case of a bed that also serves as a bathtub, no consideration is given to changing diapers.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a bed with a bathtub that does not burden the caregiver and the care recipient when the cared person bathes and changes the diaper, and that does not spill hot water from the bathtub. Things.
