The recess 3 has a deepest part 7 near its center.
Are formed on the bottom surface from the position near the boundary portion 5 to the position near the deepest portion 7, and between the deepest portion 7 and the end on the foot side. Are formed with a plurality of step-shaped heel receiving portions 9, 9,....

[0010] Arc racks 10 and 10 are located at positions below the bathtub 1 near the head end and the foot end, respectively, and the ends of the arc racks are connected to the reinforcing frame 2. Each arc rack is provided with guides 12 and 1 provided near four corners of a cart 11.
2, 12, 12, the teeth of which are
Meshes with the pinion 13 inside. Pinion 1 before and after
3, 13 are connected by a rotating shaft 14, and the rotating shaft 14 is driven by a reversible motor 15 with a speed reducer. 1
Are casters provided on the lower surface of the cart 11.

On both sides of the bathtub 1, elongated auxiliary plates 17, 1
7, the auxiliary plates 17, 17 can be tilted upward from the edge of the bathtub 1, but cannot be tilted downward.
It is supported by. Stoppers 18, 18 are provided on both sides of the cart 11 for preventing the outer edges of the auxiliary plates 17, 17 from lowering to a lower position than the edge of the bathtub 1 when the bathtub 1 is largely tilted.
Is provided.

FIG. 4 shows a mat and a pillow housed in the bathtub 1. The mat is generally in the shape of a trough that is in conformity with the patient's body, and has an upper left body part 19 and an upper right body part 20.
And a foot 21, and a partition 22 stands upright at the center of the foot. The pillow 23 has a concave portion 24 at the center. The left and right upper body parts 19 and 20 have portions 25 and 26 corresponding to the buttocks divided as shown by dotted lines as necessary. FIG. 2 shows a state where these mats and pillows are accommodated in a bathtub by dotted lines.
