Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom, and more particularly to a bathroom with a back support function for supporting a bather's head and back.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a bathroom of this type, for example, there is a bathroom in which a handrail is attached to a wall surface above a bathtub and a pillow is hung on a horizontal bar of the handrail (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-150).
No. 780).

[0003]

By the way, this type of bathroom not only can support the bather's head and back, but also can be used around the bathtub, for example, with a towel or towel, or for bathing children so as to improve the usability. It is desirably formed so that a play tool or the like can be placed.

[0004] Conventionally, however, this type of bathroom is merely provided with a back support portion that can be used as a head rest or a backrest as described above. When it is desired to place such an element, it is usually limited to the flange portion of the bathtub. However, the flange of the bathtub is typically provided with a curved surface and is narrow. Therefore, conventionally, when a towel or the like is placed on the flange portion, it has been easy to drop to, for example, the washing place side.

[0005] Conventionally, in this type of bathroom, a back support member such as a pillow and a faucet are usually provided separately on a wall surface. Therefore, conventionally, in this type of bathroom, the pillows and backrest members for back support provided on the wall surface were easily conspicuous, so this kind of pillow etc. gives the bather an abrupt feeling or a cluttered feeling, As a result, there is a problem that the appearance is poor and the aesthetic appearance in the bathroom is easily impaired.

[0006] In this type of bathroom, specifications such as right specification and left specification are usually changed in accordance with the position of the door and the arrangement of the windows. In this case, if the back support portions are individually formed according to the specifications of the bathroom, it is inevitable that the manufacturing cost of the bathroom increases. Therefore, this type of bathroom is desirably formed so as to flexibly correspond to the right specification and left specification of the bathroom.

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 addition to having a back support function, a back support that can secure a place for placing towels etc. around the bathtub, improve the design by arranging the wall surface, and flexibly support the right and left specifications of the bathroom It is to provide a bathroom with a function.

[0008]

The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is a bathroom with a back support function in which a back support portion 2 functioning as a pillow or a backrest is provided on a bathroom wall surface 3 above a bath tub 1, The above-mentioned back support part 2 is a bathtub 1
Of the upper surface 2
a is formed in a substantially horizontal shape with a drainage gradient toward the bathtub 1 side, and is combined with the back support portion 2 on the wall surface 7 on the side of the washing room 5 connected to the bathroom wall surface 3 provided with the back support portion 2. The counter 6 on the side of the washing place 5 to be connected is provided at the same height as the back support portion 2 (claim 1).

Here, the back support portion 2 which functions as a pillow or a backrest, when the bathtub 1 has a stool 1a as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, functions as a backrest and includes the stool 1a. In the case of no bathtub 1, it means that it functions as a pillow, as shown in FIG. The draining gradient is usually selected to be about 1 to 3 degrees.

According to the present invention, the vertical width H of the back support portion 2 and the counter 6 is increased so that a sense of unity in design can be obtained.
Are preferably the same (claim 2).

Further, according to the present invention, the counter 6 of the washing place 5
Preferably, it is formed over the entire length of the wall surface 7 on the side of the washing place 5 (claim 3).

In this case, a waist-shaped protruding protrusion can be formed on one side wall of the bathroom. Therefore, according to this, the vertical support side wall is accentuated by the back support portion 2 and the counter 6, and accordingly, a novel and interesting bathroom can be provided.

Further, according to the present invention, the front surface of the back support portion 2 is formed by a concavely curved support portion 2b and flat portions 2c formed on both sides of the support portion 2b.
Is preferably connected to the front surface 6a of the counter 6 in a flush manner.

In this case, the design of the back support 2 to the counter 6 can be prevented from being divided by the flat portion 2c of the back support 2. In addition, the flat part 2c of the back support part 2 is not limited to the case where the flat part 2c is formed in a downward slope toward the bathtub 1, but may be formed in a vertical plane.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that the concavely curved support 2b of the back support 2 is provided with a cushion material 2b1.

As the cushion material 2b1, there is, for example, a sheet made of urethane resin. In the case of the present invention, this type of sheet is achieved by attaching the sheet to the surface of the support portion 2b.

Further, according to the present invention, the bathtub 1 is provided with a stool 1a for a half-body bath, and the concavely curved support portion 2b of the back support portion 2 is formed in an uneven surface shape to prevent a feeling of close contact with the back. At the same time, it is preferable that the backrest 1b of the bathtub 1 is formed in an inclined surface shape in accordance with the gradient of the backrest portion 1b.

In this case, the bearing 2b does not adhere to the skin,
Further, since the backrest 1b of the bathtub 1 is formed in an inclined surface shape in accordance with the inclination of the backrest 1b, it is easy to fit the back. Therefore, according to this, the contact between the back support portion 2 and the back is improved, and the bath can be comfortably accordingly.

[0020]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 and the like, 1 is a bathtub, and 2 is a back support portion functioning as a pillow or a backrest. The bathtub 1 includes a stool 1a for a half-body bath in this embodiment.

The back support portion 2 is formed over the entire length of the bathtub 1 in the short width direction, and the upper surface 2a is formed in a substantially horizontal shape with a drainage gradient toward the bathtub 1 side. The drainage gradient is selected at one time in this embodiment.

The front surface of the back support portion 2 is formed by a concavely curved support portion 2b and flat portions 2c formed on both sides of the support portion 2b. The counter 6 is flush with the front surface 6a. The support portion 2b of the back support portion 2 is formed in an uneven surface shape by embossing or the like to prevent a feeling of close contact with the back, and is formed in an inclined surface shape in accordance with the gradient of the backrest portion 1b of the bathtub 1. ing.

A counter 6 on the side of the washing room 5 is connected in combination with the back support unit 2, and is connected to a wall surface 7 of the washing room 5 on the side of the bathroom wall 3 provided with the back support unit 2.
The height is the same as that of the back support 2. Reference numeral 8 denotes a bracket for attaching the counter 6 to the wall surface 7 on the side of the washing place 5. Back support part 2
And the seam 9 of the counter 6 is subjected to a caulking process.

The vertical width H (see FIGS. 3 and 4) of the back support 2 and the counter 6 is the same in this embodiment so that a sense of design uniformity can be obtained. In this embodiment, the counter 6 is formed of artificial marble similarly to the back support part 2, and is provided over the entire length of the wall surface 7 on the washing place 5 side. 10 is a faucet and 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes the operation knob. Reference numeral 12 denotes a mounting table such as a washbasin.

In the case of the present invention of this embodiment, the bather
