Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stool for a bathroom composed of an improved seat having a plurality of specific drain hole portions, so that a person having a difficulty in standing by himself, having a back ache, or requiring assistance can readily wash out dirty soapy water from the body to the hip while remaining in seating without standing up, in washing his body by the use of the stool, when taking a bath. SOLUTION: On a seat portion (2), formed in any desired shape in the plane view, a plurality of drain hole portions (5) consisting of desired shape of holes, are disposed in the appropriate position as radially, annularly, scatteringly, or the like. On the upper peripheral edges of the drain hole portions (5), opening portions (7) are formed, and on a surface (9) of each opening portion (7) a flat or curving chamfer is formed by inclining a predetermined range of width, from a boundary (8) between the seat (10) and the opening portion (7) to a drain hole (6), radially downwardly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom stool having a plurality of drain ports provided on a stool seat plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art (1) Conventional bath seats are made of synthetic resin and have only one drainage hole at the center of a seat plate, or have a part of the seat plate cut away. . There is also a wooden seat plate without a drain hole. Although not widely used as a product, the following are known devices. (2) There is Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-27385, and although the purpose is different, several drain holes are provided in the seat plate. (3) There is a practically-opened Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-119877, in which several projecting frames and hot water storage grooves are provided concentrically on a seat plate.

[0003]

The above bath stool is
There are the following problems, which will be described in the order of the above symbols. In the case of (1), when washing the dirty soap solution that adheres to the whole body and the buttocks, the washing of the washing water can be performed because the buttocks and the seating surface are in close contact while sitting. In addition, since there is no drainage means for the entire seat plate, it was necessary to raise the waist and stand up to perform the cleaning operation. In (2), the seat plate has only a plurality of drain ports, but since the upper peripheral edge of the drain ports is not devised, when sitting down, there is a feeling of strangeness of the holes, and there is a stain that adheres to the whole body and the buttocks. When the soap solution is washed, the washing water flowing between the buttocks and the seat surface does not have fluidity when the soap solution is seated, so that the drainage is insufficient and the washing is difficult. (3) In the seat plate, several projecting frames are formed concentrically, and when seated, there is a considerable uncomfortable feeling, and there is a hot water storage groove for a warming means, excluding a cold feeling, Since there is no drainage means, it is difficult to clean the buttocks while sitting.
Moreover, the cost is increased due to the complicated design of the structure. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by eliminating a feeling of incongruity when sitting down, and also hardly causing a cold feeling in winter, and starting with the whole body, a dirty soap solution adhering to the buttocks is seated. It can be washed without standing up,
It is intended to provide a stool for a bathroom.

[0004]

The bath seat stool according to the present invention comprises:
A plurality of drain ports (5) having a desired mouth shape are appropriately arranged on a seat plate (2) having an arbitrary flat surface, such as in a radial, annular, or dispersed shape. An opening (7) is formed in the upper peripheral edge of the drain port (5), and a surface (9) of the opening (7) is formed by a boundary line (10) between the seating surface (10) and the opening (7). 8) A drain orifice (5) having a flat or curved slope formed by inclining downward in a radial direction in a certain width range from the outlet (6) to the outlet (6). Features. The planar shape of the seat plate of the bathroom stool of the present invention can be appropriately selected such as a rectangle, a square, a polygon, a circle, a semicircle, an ellipse, an oval shape, and a heart shape. The shape of the stool body is not particularly limited,
A three-dimensional shape suitable for the planar shape of the seat plate is desirable, but a form with legs can also be applied. The main body is made of synthetic resin or wood. The present invention is a bathroom stool configured as described above.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional synthetic resin bath seat. FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the present invention.
It is a top view of the stool for bathrooms which shows an Example. FIG. 3 shows FIG.
FIG. 4 is a detailed plan view of a drain port portion of FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.
FIG. FIG. 1 shows a conventional seat, which is a prototype before embodying the present invention, and has only one elongated rounded rectangular drainage hole (4) provided at the center of a seat plate. is there. FIG. 2 is integrated with the main body (1) of the seat,
Drain holes (4) in the center (3) of the substantially rectangular seat plate (2)
And a seat plate portion (2) around the drain hole (4).
The drain port (5) having a substantially oval mouth shape is disposed radially with respect to the central portion (3). FIG. 3 is a detailed plan view of the drain port (5). The outer diameter of the formed opening (7) is approximately oval with a length of 45 mm and a width of 35 mm. ) Reaches the discharge port (6) in a range of a width of 8 mm from the boundary line (8) with the seat surface (10), forming a downward inclination in the inner diameter direction. FIG. 4 shows FIG.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a cross section AA of FIG.
Forms a streamline shape from the discharge port (6) to the boundary line (8) between the seating surface (10) and the opening (7), with a slope of a curved surface climbing over a range of 8 mm in width. I let it. Next, when the strength of the seat plate portion (2) of the seat is further required, assuming that the normal thickness of the seat plate portion (2) is about 2 mm, the build-up portion (11) for reinforcement is provided. If it is manufactured by adding a thickness of 1 mm,
The strength can be sufficiently maintained. Since the present invention has the above-described structure, when sitting on the stool, the buttocks are supported only by the small-area seating surfaces (10) scattered on the outer periphery of the opening (7), so that the hips are slightly lifted. As a result, many gaps are formed at the contact surface between the buttocks and the seat plate (2), and the opening (7) is inclined downward toward the discharge port (6). The washing water that flows under the part quickly flows through the surface (9) of the opening part (7) and is discharged from the discharge port (6), so that the drainage operation can be efficiently performed on almost the entire seat plate. Will be

[0006]

According to the present invention, as described above, when washing the body while sitting on the stool, the washing water for washing off the dirty soap solution attached to the body flows into the buttocks in a concentrated manner. The multiple drain outlets with openings that promote flow allow the washing water on the seat plate to drain quickly and efficiently, making it easier to wash without sitting up and standing up. be able to. Therefore, it is most suitable for a person who has difficulty in self-reliance, low back pain, need of assistance, etc., and even for a healthy person, there is no need to stand up, it is very convenient, and it is effective as a bathing chair. Furthermore, since the stool of the present invention has a devised opening, there is no special feeling of discomfort when sitting down, and when used in winter, the butt is only partially in contact with the seating surface, so the cooling sensation is hardly felt. Rarely occurs. Further, since the structure of the seat is simple, it is easy to manufacture. In particular, in the case of synthetic resin, the material of the entire drain port can be reduced, so that the product can be provided at lower cost than the conventional product.
