FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a crotch cleaning apparatus according to the present invention. The sink 1 is horizontally installed at a height at which a nurse (adult) can work even if he / she does not fall down. A flush-type sink tank 2 is arranged below the sink 1, and a rectangular upper opening 3 of the flush-type sink tank 2 is opened on the upper surface of the sink 1. When the knob 4 is operated, the flush-type sink tank 2 is opened in the same manner as a normal flush-type toilet.
The water that has flown around the annular flow path 5 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) at the lower peripheral portion flows into the flush-type sink tank 2 from a number of flow ports 6 (see FIG. 2), and the funnel-shaped bottom of the flush-type sink tank 2 The structure is drained from the central drain.

Water is supplied to the sink 5 of the flush-type sink tank 2 from a convex portion 9 on the rear side of the upper opening 3 through a pipe 8 penetrating a front wall 7 at the rear of the sink 1. The faucet 10 attached to the front wall 7 allows normal-temperature water and hot water to be supplied into the flush-type sink tank 2 from above.

The crotch cleaning apparatus according to the present invention focuses on providing a stand 11 as an auxiliary tool in order to wash the crotch in the washing type sink tank 2 with the baby in an upright position. The structure of the table 11 is shown in FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

The stand 11 comprises a bottom portion 13 having a plurality of circular holes 12 uniformly formed on the entire surface, front and rear wall portions 14 and 15, and only one of right and left side wall portions 16, and is made of hard plastic. I have. For convenience of drainage from the bottom 13,
In order to avoid having to adapt the stand 11 to the shape of the corner of the flush-type sink tank 2, the front and rear wall portions 14 are provided.
The corners are empty, with 15 not being continuous with the side wall 16. Inverted L portions 14a, 15a, 16a are integrally formed at the upper ends of the front and rear wall portions 14, 15 and the side wall portion 16, respectively.
An outer edge 17 is formed on the entire upper surface of one side edge of the bottom portion 13 having no 6 so as to be higher than the upper surface so that the infant does not slide down the foot. Further, the outer surfaces of the front and rear wall portions 14 and 15 and the side wall portion 16 are provided with inverted L portions 14a and 14a.
An elastic plate 18 is adhered to the lower side of 15a and 16a.

The stand 11 is set detachably in the flush-type sink tank 2 and has the following dimensions with respect to the flush-type sink tank 2. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inverted L portion 1 of the front and rear wall portions 14 and 15 of the stand 11
The inverted L portions 16a of the side walls 16a and 15a are caught on the flush-type sink tank 2 so as to ride on the opening edge of the upper surface opening 3, and the elasticity of the outer surfaces of the front and rear wall portions 14 and 15 and the side wall portion 16 is set. The plate 18 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper opening 3 of the flush-type sink tank 2 so that the stand 11 is stably set in the flush-type sink tank 2. In such a set state, the height of the stand 11, that is, the height H from the lower surface of the inverted L portions 14 a, 15 a, 16 a to the lower surface of the bottom portion 13 is smaller than the depth of the flush-type sink tank 2, The bottom portion 13 of the table 11 is located above the bottom surface 2a of the flush-type sink tank 2 so that a space 19 is formed therebetween. The left and right dimensions of the stand 11 are shorter than the left and right dimensions of the inner surface of the flush-type sink tank 2, so that a space 20 is formed between the stand 11 and the inner side surface 2 b of the flush-type sink tank 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, a shower unit 21 is placed on the sink 1 so that the shower unit 21 can freely move on the sink 1 by a moving stand 22. The shower unit 21 is configured by fixing a lifting guide shaft 25 to a column 24 erected on a base plate 23 to constitute a movable stand 22 and supporting a shower faucet 26 on the lifting guide shaft 25 so as to be movable up and down. Hot water can be supplied to the shower faucet 26 through the hose 27.

2 and the side wall 16 is only one side, and the corners between the front and rear walls 14 and 15 and the side wall 16 are also empty. It does not stay on the floor and does not pollute the feet of infants. Further, since a space 19 is formed between the bottom portion 13 of the stand 11 and the bottom surface 2a of the flush-type sink tank 2 as shown in FIGS. Your feet will not get dirty. Further, between the stand 11 and the inner surface of the flush-type sink tank 2,
Since the space 20 is formed as shown in FIG.
It is convenient to lift and remove 1 from the inside of the flush-type sink tank 2 and to pour water from the faucet 10 into the flush-type sink tank 2 from above.

[0021]

As described above, according to the crotch cleaning apparatus of the present invention, the stand is removably installed in the flush-type sink tank opened on the sink, and the infant stands on the stand to form the shower unit. In the case of infants who cannot clean their crotch or stand up on their own, the nurse can support the infant's abdomen with one hand, put it on a stand, and operate the shower unit with the other hand to wash it.
