Description

本発明は、入浴時に頭部を牽引して健康増進等を図る、入浴式頭部牽引器具及び入浴式頭部牽引方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a bath-type head traction device and a bath-type head traction method that aim to improve health by pulling the head during bathing.

頸椎等の背骨のゆがみは年齢を増すに従って大きくなる傾向があるため、中高年者には、頸椎等のゆがみに起因する、手足のしびれ、肩こり、腰痛といった症状を有する者が多い。このような症状を有する者は、整形外科病院等に通院して、牽引治療器を用いた治療等を受ける必要があるが、治療に長期間を要することや、治療費がかさむことから、症状が重くならないと治療を受けなかったり、治療を受けても、完治する前に、途中で治療をやめてしまうのが実情である。また、治療が長期化することを考慮して、医療器（例えば、電位治療器等）を購入し、自宅で手軽に治療をすることも考えられるが、医療器が高額なため、在宅治療も容易に行えるものではない。したがって、自宅で頸椎等のゆがみを手軽に直して健康増進が図れる簡単な機器の出現が望まれていた。 Since the distortion of the spine such as the cervical spine tends to increase as the age increases, middle-aged and elderly people often have symptoms such as numbness of the limbs, stiff shoulders, and back pain due to distortion of the cervical spine. Those who have such symptoms need to go to an orthopedic hospital etc. and receive treatment using a traction therapy device, etc. If you don't get heavier, you won't receive treatment, or even if you get treatment, you will stop treatment before it is completely cured. In consideration of the prolonged treatment, it is also possible to purchase a medical device (for example, a potential treatment device) and treat it easily at home, but because the medical device is expensive, home treatment is also possible. It is not easy to do. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a simple device that can easily correct distortion of the cervical spine and the like at home to improve health.

一方、自宅での入浴時に頭部の牽引を行って、頸椎等のゆがみを直す簡単な牽引器具も提案されている（特許文献１）。この牽引器具は、浮力を利用した小さな牽引力で頭部を牽引できるという点と、体が温まった気持ちよい状態で頭部を牽引できるという点の２つの利点を有している。 On the other hand, a simple traction device has also been proposed that retracts the cervical spine and the like by pulling the head during bathing at home (Patent Document 1). This traction device has two advantages, that is, the head can be pulled with a small traction force using buoyancy, and the head can be pulled while the body is warm and comfortable.

登録実用新案第３０１９２９６号公報Registered Utility Model No. 3019296

しかしながら、上記特許文献１記載の牽引器具では、浴槽内の入浴者が頭部を浴槽に差し渡した支持板に支持させた状態で、体重の一部を頭部にかけるようにするものであるので、頭部側にかける牽引力を種々に変化させることはできない。一方、頸椎等のゆがみを直して健康増進を図るには、ゆがみの程度等に応じて、頭部側にかける牽引力を種々に（例えば、５〜１３Ｋｇ程度）変化させる必要がある。 However, in the traction device described in Patent Document 1, a bather in the bathtub puts his / her head on the support plate that is passed to the bathtub, so that a part of the body weight is placed on the head. The tractive force applied to the head side cannot be changed variously. On the other hand, in order to correct the distortion of the cervical spine and improve health, it is necessary to change the traction force applied to the head side in various ways (for example, about 5 to 13 kg) in accordance with the degree of distortion.

したがって、上記牽引器具は、ごく限られた範囲又は程度の軽い頸椎等のゆがみを直して健康増進を図るのには向いているかもしれないが、種々の程度の頸椎等のゆがみを直して健康増進を図るのには向いておらず、使用範囲が狭いという問題があった。 Therefore, the traction device may be suitable for improving the health of cervical vertebrae, etc., with a limited range or degree of lightening, but it is suitable for improving the health of cervical vertebrae with various degrees. There was a problem that the range of use was narrow because it was not suitable for promotion.

この発明は、以上の点に鑑み、浴槽内で入浴者の頭部を牽引する場合に、牽引力を種々に変えて健康増進を図ることができる、簡単な構造の入浴式頭部牽引器具を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above points, the present invention provides a bath-type head traction device having a simple structure that can improve health by variously changing traction force when towing a bather's head in a bathtub. The purpose is to do.

また、この発明は、浴槽内で入浴者の頭部を牽引する場合に、簡単に牽引力を変えて健康増進を図ることができる入浴式頭部牽引方法を提供することを目的とする。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a bathing-type head towing method that can easily improve the health by changing the traction force when towing the bather's head in a bathtub.

この発明の請求項１記載の入浴式頭部牽引器具の発明は、少なくとも浴室壁面又は浴槽壁部の何れかに取り付けられ、支持部が浴槽の上方に配置される支持具と、浴槽内の入浴者が体重の一部をかけることにより、この入浴者の頭部を上向きに牽引する吊り具と、上端側が前記支持具の前記支持部側に取り付けられるとともに、下端側に前記吊り具が取り付けられ、前記吊り具による牽引力を前記支持具に伝えるとともに、前記吊り具の上下位置を変更することにより、前記入浴者に加わる浮力を変更して、前記吊り具による牽引力を変更する吊り位置変更具とを有することである。 According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bath-type head traction device that is attached to at least one of a bathroom wall surface or a bathtub wall portion, and a support portion disposed above the bathtub, and a bath in the bathtub. When the person puts a part of his / her body weight, the suspension tool for pulling the bather's head upward, the upper end side is attached to the support part side of the support tool, and the suspension tool is attached to the lower end side. A suspending position changer that changes the buoyancy applied to the bather by changing the vertical position of the suspender and changes the traction force by the suspender while transmitting the traction force by the suspender to the support. It is to have.

この発明では、浴槽に入った入浴者は、吊り位置変更具を介して支持具に支持されている吊り具を頭部に装着する。つづいて、入浴者が浴槽の底部に足先をつけつつ体を横に伸ばして浴槽の湯につかる（この状態を入浴状態という）と、尻が浮いた状態になるとともに、体に対する湯面の位置が定まるので、湯による上向きの浮力が決定される。つぎに、浴槽から手を離すと、体は、足先と吊り具とで支えられた状態になるので、吊り具には体重から浮力を差し引いた荷重の一部が吊り荷重として加えられ、この吊り荷重（牽引力）によって頭部が上方に牽引される。もちろん、入浴者は頭部に吊り具を装着して浴槽に入り、その後、吊り具を、吊り位置変更具に取り付けて、支持具に支持させるようにしてもよい。 In this invention, the bather who entered the bathtub wears a suspension tool supported by the support tool on the head via the suspension position change tool. Next, when a bather puts his feet on the bottom of the bathtub and stretches his body sideways and uses it in the bath water (this condition is called bathing condition), the butt floats and Since the position is determined, upward buoyancy due to hot water is determined. Next, when you take your hand off the bathtub, the body will be supported by the toes and the suspension, so a part of the weight minus the buoyancy is added to the suspension as a suspension load. The head is pulled upward by the suspension load (traction force). Of course, the bather may put a hanging tool on the head and enter the bathtub, and then attach the hanging tool to the hanging position changing tool and support it by the support tool.

牽引力を変更（例えば増加）する場合には、吊り位置変更具により吊り具の位置を所定量だけ上げればよい。このことにより、入浴者が、吊り具を装着して入浴状態になった場合、例えば上半身の一部が湯面から余分に突き出ることとなるため、その分、湯による浮力が減少し、その影響で、吊り具にかかる牽引力が増加する。 When the traction force is changed (for example, increased), the position of the lifting tool may be raised by a predetermined amount by the lifting position changing tool. As a result, when a bather enters a bathing state with a hanger attached, for example, part of the upper body protrudes excessively from the surface of the hot water. As a result, the traction force applied to the hanger increases.

The metal suspension ring 52 attached to the suspension band 51, the fastening band 53 and the bracket fastening band 54, which are respectively sewn on the left and right sides of the main body 50, and the fastening bracket attached to the bracket fastening band 54. 55.

本体部５０には、入浴者Ｍのあごから顔の左右側部及び左右の側頭部を覆う前部５０ａと、後頭部側を覆う後部５０ｂとが形成されており、上部と下部とには、開口が形成されている。吊りバンド５１は、本体部５０の前部５０ａと後部５０ｂとの接合部の上端側に下部が取り付けられている。締め付けバンド５３は、一端が後部５０ｂの下部に取り付けられ、金具止めバンド５４は、一端が前部５０ａの下部に取り付けられていて、金具止めバンド５４を、締め付け金具５５の中間バー５５ａに巻き付けるように差し込むことにより、本体部５０の前部５０ａと後部５０ｂとが近づけられ、本体部５０が入浴者Ｍの頭部Ｍ１に密着するようになる。 The main body part 50 is formed with a front part 50a that covers the left and right side parts of the face and the left and right temporal parts from the chin of the bather M, and a rear part 50b that covers the occipital side. An opening is formed. The lower part of the suspension band 51 is attached to the upper end side of the joint part between the front part 50 a and the rear part 50 b of the main body part 50. One end of the fastening band 53 is attached to the lower part of the rear part 50b, and one end of the fastening band 54 is attached to the lower part of the front part 50a so that the fastening band 54 is wound around the intermediate bar 55a of the fastening part 55. , The front part 50a and the rear part 50b of the main body part 50 are brought close to each other, and the main body part 50 comes into close contact with the head M1 of the bather M.

つぎに、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１の浴槽１００上への取り付けと、取り外しについて説明する。まず、浴槽１００の背も立れ部１０６近傍の、浴室壁面Ｗに接する壁部１０２上に固定部２０を載置する。これは、本体部２０ａを壁部１０２の上面と内側面とに当接させることにより行う。つづいて、固定部２１を、固定部２０に対向させるように、浴槽１００の壁部１０３上に載置する。これは、固定部２１の溝Ｕに壁部１０３の上部側を嵌め込むようにして行う。固定部２１の溝Ｕの幅は壁部１０３の厚さと略同サイズに形成されているので、固定部２１を壁部１０２に嵌め込むことにより、これは容易に固定される。 Next, attachment and removal of the bath-type head traction instrument 1 on the bathtub 100 will be described. First, the fixing portion 20 is placed on the wall portion 102 in contact with the bathroom wall surface W in the vicinity of the backrest portion 106 of the bathtub 100. This is performed by bringing the main body 20a into contact with the upper surface and the inner surface of the wall 102. Subsequently, the fixing portion 21 is placed on the wall portion 103 of the bathtub 100 so as to face the fixing portion 20. This is performed by fitting the upper side of the wall portion 103 into the groove U of the fixing portion 21. Since the width of the groove U of the fixing portion 21 is formed to be approximately the same size as the thickness of the wall portion 103, this is easily fixed by fitting the fixing portion 21 into the wall portion 102.

つづいて、２つの垂直部２２，２２の一端を、それぞれの連結部２４に一定の力で差し込んだ後、連結部２４の他端側に、フック３が支持された水平部２３の端部を一定の力で差し込んで門形架台を形成し、この下端を固定部２０，２１のパイプ部２０ｂ，２１ｂ中に一定の力で差し込むと、フック３を有する支持具２の浴槽１００上への取り付けは終了する。２つの固定部２０，２１は浴槽１００上に載置されるものであるが、門形架台をこれらに取り付けることにより、固定部２０，２１を含めて、この支持具２は浴槽１００上にしっかりと固定される。 Subsequently, after inserting one end of each of the two vertical portions 22 and 22 into each connecting portion 24 with a certain force, the other end of the connecting portion 24 is connected to the end of the horizontal portion 23 on which the hook 3 is supported. When the lower end is inserted into the pipe portions 20b and 21b of the fixing portions 20 and 21 with a constant force, the support 2 having the hook 3 is mounted on the bathtub 100. Ends. The two fixing parts 20 and 21 are placed on the bathtub 100, but the support 2 including the fixing parts 20 and 21 can be firmly fixed on the bathtub 100 by attaching a portal frame to them. Fixed.

つづいて、吊り位置変更具４の上部側をフック３に引っ掛けて大リング４１の上下位置を調整し、開閉部Ｋを介して、大リング４１に吊り具５の吊りリング５２を取り付ければ、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１の浴槽１００上への取り付け作業は終了する。なお、吊り具５の吊り位置変更具４への取り付けは、吊り具５を頭部Ｍ１に装着後、行ってもよい。 Subsequently, the upper side of the suspension position changer 4 is hooked on the hook 3 to adjust the vertical position of the large ring 41, and the suspension ring 52 of the suspension 5 is attached to the large ring 41 via the opening / closing part K. The work of attaching the bath-type head traction device 1 onto the bathtub 100 ends. The hanging tool 5 may be attached to the hanging position changing tool 4 after the hanging tool 5 is mounted on the head M1.

つぎに、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１を用いて入浴者Ｍの頭部Ｍ１を牽引する場合の入浴手順について説明する。
裸になった入浴者Ｍは、浴槽１００内に入り、吊り位置変更具４にぶら下げられている吊り具５を頭部Ｍ１に装着する。この場合、吊り具５の締め付けバンド５３を緩めるか、又は締め付け金具５５から外して、吊り具５の本体部５０の下部側開口から頭部Ｍ１を差し込み、前部５０ａにあごを掛けて、これで側頭部を覆うとともに、後部５０ｂで後頭部を覆う。つづいて、締め付けバンド５３を引くか、又は締め付けバンド５３を締め付け金具５５に巻き付けて引くことにより、吊り具５を頭部Ｍ１に密着させる。 Next, a bathing procedure when the bather M's head M1 is towed using the bath-type head towing instrument 1 will be described.
The bather M who becomes naked enters the bathtub 100 and attaches the hanging tool 5 hung by the hanging position changing tool 4 to the head M1. In this case, the fastening band 53 of the hanger 5 is loosened or removed from the fastening hardware 55, the head M1 is inserted from the lower side opening of the main body 50 of the hanger 5, and the front part 50a is hung with a jaw. Cover the temporal region and cover the occipital region with the rear portion 50b. Subsequently, by pulling the tightening band 53 or by winding the tightening band 53 around the tightening bracket 55 and pulling it, the hanger 5 is brought into close contact with the head M1.

つづいて、入浴者Ｍは、両手と両足の端部で体を支えながら体を横に伸ばして、尻を浮かしつつ浴槽１００の湯Ｑに肩Ｍ２の下部までつかって入浴し、吊り具５に体重の一部を支えさせる。そして、両手を浴槽１００から離せば、体重は浴槽１００底部につけた足先と吊り具５につながる頭部Ｍ１によって支えられ、入浴者Ｍの頭部Ｍ１は、吊り具５によって上方に牽引され、入浴者Ｍの頸椎は引き伸ばされる。この場合、入浴者Ｍには、体重Ｎと湯Ｑによる浮力Ｆとが作用するため、入浴者Ｍが足先と頭部Ｍ１に感じる力は、合計Ｎ−Ｆであり、体の重心の位置を考慮すると、この５割以上の力が頭部Ｍ１を牽引する。ちなみに、体重６３Ｋｇの者がこのような状態（肩Ｍ２の上端と湯面Ｑ１間の持ち上がり距離Ｓが例えば５ｃｍの状態）で入浴した場合、頭部Ｍ１には５Ｋｇの牽引力（吊り荷重）Ｐが作用する。 Subsequently, the bather M stretches the body sideways while supporting the body with the ends of both hands and both feet, bathes in the hot water Q of the bathtub 100 up to the lower part of the shoulder M2 while lifting the hips, Support part of your weight. Then, if both hands are separated from the bathtub 100, the weight is supported by the toes attached to the bottom of the bathtub 100 and the head M1 connected to the hanger 5, and the head M1 of the bather M is pulled upward by the hanger 5. Bather M's cervical spine is stretched. In this case, since the weight N and the buoyancy F due to the hot water Q act on the bather M, the total force that the bather M feels on the toes and the head M1 is NF, and the position of the center of gravity of the body Considering the above, this force of 50% or more pulls the head M1. Incidentally, when a person with a weight of 63 kg bathes in such a state (the lifting distance S between the upper end of the shoulder M2 and the hot water surface Q1 is, for example, 5 cm), the head M1 has a traction force (suspending load) P of 5 kg. Works.

このように、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１では、入浴時に体を温めつつ頭部を牽引できるので、入浴者は体が温まった心地よい状態で頸椎を引き伸ばして、そのゆがみを直すことができ、入浴中に手足のしびれ、肩こり、腰痛といった症状を和らげて健康増進を図ることができる。この場合、吊り具５に体重Ｎの大部分をかけても、浮力Ｆが作用するので、牽引力Ｐを小さく抑えることができ、無理なく健康増進を図ることができる。また、入浴は毎日又は一日おきに必ずなされるので、頭部Ｍ１の牽引もこれに合わせたペースでなすことができ、健康増進の効果を容易に継続させることができる。さらに、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１は、組み立て分解が容易であり、頭部の牽引を行うものが、その都度組み立て、分解すればよいので、この器具１が他の入浴者の入浴の邪魔になることもない。 Thus, in this bath-type head traction device 1, since the head can be pulled while warming the body during bathing, the bather can stretch the cervical spine in a warm and comfortable state, and correct its distortion. During bathing, you can relieve symptoms such as numbness in the limbs, stiff shoulders, and back pain, and improve your health. In this case, the buoyancy F is applied even when the weight N is applied to the hanger 5, so that the traction force P can be kept small and the health can be promoted without difficulty. Further, since bathing is always performed every day or every other day, the head M1 can be pulled at a pace corresponding to this, and the effect of health promotion can be easily continued. Furthermore, the bath-type head traction device 1 is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the one that pulls the head can be assembled and disassembled each time, so that this device 1 is an obstacle to bathing other bathers. It will never be.

なお、頭部Ｍ１を牽引する場合の入浴方法には、図７で示されるように、足先を浴槽１００の壁部上面にもたせかけるようにする方法もある。この場合、足先が湯面Ｑ１から上方にでるので、浮力Ｆがやや小さくなり、例えば、入浴者Ｍの体重が６３Ｋｇで、持ち上がり距離Ｓが５ｃｍの場合、この入浴者には、頭部Ｍ１に６Ｋｇ程度の牽引力（吊り荷重）Ｐが作用する。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the bathing method in the case of pulling the head M 1 includes a method in which the feet are put on the upper surface of the wall portion of the bathtub 100. In this case, since the tip of the foot is above the hot water surface Q1, the buoyancy F is slightly reduced. For example, when the weight of the bather M is 63 kg and the lifting distance S is 5 cm, the bather has a head M1. A traction force (suspension load) P of about 6 kg is applied to this.

つぎに、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１による牽引力Ｐの増減について説明する。牽引力Ｐの増減は、吊り具５の浴槽１００からの距離を増減して入浴者Ｍに作用する浮力Ｆを変化させることにより達成できる。吊り具５を、入浴者Ｍが特定の状態（持ち上がり距離Ｓが０であり、入浴者Ｍが浴槽１００中の湯Ｑに肩Ｍ２の上端までつかる状態）で入浴できる上下位置Ａより上昇させることにより、入浴者Ｍの体（肩Ｍ２等）は浴槽１００中の湯面Ｑ１の位置より順次持ち上がるとともに、湯面Ｑ１自身も幾分下降する。このため、入浴者Ｍに作用する浮力Ｆが減少し、頭部Ｍ１の牽引力Ｐが増加することとなる。また、図６で示されるように、吊り具５の上昇によって、入浴者Ｍの体がしだいに立ってくるので、入浴者Ｍの重心の位置も足先側から頭部Ｍ１側に移動し、この影響によっても、頭部Ｍ１の牽引力（吊り荷重）Ｐが増加する。 Next, the increase / decrease in the traction force P by the bath-type head traction device 1 will be described. The traction force P can be increased or decreased by changing the buoyancy F acting on the bather M by increasing or decreasing the distance of the hanger 5 from the bathtub 100. Lift the hanger 5 from a vertical position A where the bather M can take a bath in a specific state (the lifting distance S is 0 and the bather M is in contact with the hot water Q in the bathtub 100 up to the upper end of the shoulder M2). Thus, the body of the bather M (shoulder M2 and the like) is sequentially lifted from the position of the hot water surface Q1 in the bathtub 100, and the hot water surface Q1 itself is also somewhat lowered. For this reason, the buoyancy F acting on the bather M decreases, and the traction force P of the head M1 increases. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the body of the bather M gradually stands by the lifting of the hanger 5, so that the position of the center of gravity of the bather M also moves from the toe side to the head M 1 side, This influence also increases the traction force (suspension load) P of the head M1.

吊り具５の上下位置Ａを上げるためには、吊り位置変更具４のフック３による吊り位置を変更し、吊り位置変更具４の大リング４１の位置を上昇させてやればよい。吊り位置変更具４は、長さ３２ｍｍの小リング４０をつなぎ合わせたものであるので、吊り具５の上下位置Ａも３２−７＝２５ｍｍ単位で変化させることができる。例えば、図６の（ｂ）の図には、吊り具５の上下位置を変化させて、持ち上がり距離Ｓが、約０、５、１０、１５ｃｍになった場合の、牽引力（吊り荷重）Ｐの値（約４、５、７、１０Ｋｇ）を示している。 In order to raise the vertical position A of the hanger 5, the hung position by the hook 3 of the hung position changing tool 4 may be changed and the position of the large ring 41 of the hung position changing tool 4 may be raised. Since the hanging position changing tool 4 is formed by connecting small rings 40 having a length of 32 mm, the vertical position A of the hanging tool 5 can also be changed in units of 32−7 = 25 mm. For example, in the drawing of FIG. 6B, the traction force (suspending load) P when the lifting distance S is about 0, 5, 10, and 15 cm by changing the vertical position of the hanger 5 is shown. The value (about 4, 5, 7, 10 kg) is shown.

このように、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１では、吊り位置変更具４により吊り具５の上下位置Ａを変えて、入浴者Ｍに作用する浮力Ｆの大きさを変えることにより、頭部Ｍ１に作用する牽引力Ｐを少しずつ変えることができるので、頸椎等にある程度以上のゆがみを有するものでも、その症状に応じて、牽引力Ｐを切り換えつつ、頸椎等のゆがみを直して健康増進を図ることができる。 Thus, in this bath-type head traction device 1, the head position M1 is changed by changing the vertical position A of the hanger 5 by the hanger position changer 4 and changing the magnitude of the buoyancy F acting on the bather M. Since the traction force P acting on the cervical can be changed little by little, even if the cervical vertebra etc. has a certain degree of distortion, change the traction force P according to the symptom and correct the distortion of the cervical vertebra etc. to promote health Can do.

ここで、牽引力Ｐの大きさは、図８で示されるように、バネ等利用した荷重計６をフック３と吊り位置変更具４間（又は吊り位置変更具４中や、吊り位置変更具４と吊り具５との間であってもよい）に設けることにより計測できる。この方法では、入浴者Ｍ自身には、荷重計６の値が見えないので、この荷重計６からの荷重信号を手元の表示部に伝え、この表示部によって牽引力Ｐをデジタル表示できるようにしてもよい。なお、荷重計６には、上部に吊りリング６ａ、下部にフック６ｂがそれぞれ設けられている。 Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the magnitude of the traction force P is such that the load meter 6 using a spring or the like is placed between the hook 3 and the hanging position changing tool 4 (or in the hanging position changing tool 4 or the hanging position changing tool 4. And the suspension 5 may be provided). In this method, since the value of the load meter 6 is not visible to the bather M himself, the load signal from the load meter 6 is transmitted to the display unit at hand so that the traction force P can be digitally displayed on the display unit. Also good. The load cell 6 is provided with a suspension ring 6a at the top and a hook 6b at the bottom.

つぎに、この入浴式頭部牽引器具１で使用される支持具２の変更実施例を図９〜図１５を参照しつつ説明する。
図９は浴槽１００の長手方向の両端壁部１０４，１０５に取り付けられる支持具２Ａを示している。この支持具２Ａを用いた場合でも、水平部２３の、浴槽１００の背もたれ部１０６側に、吊り位置変更具４等を介して、吊り具５を吊すことにより、入浴者Ｍは頭部Ｍ１を楽に牽引することができる。 Next, modified examples of the support 2 used in the bath-type head traction device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 9 shows the support 2 A attached to both end wall portions 104 and 105 in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 100. Even when this support tool 2A is used, the bather M holds the head M1 by suspending the hanger 5 from the horizontal part 23 on the backrest part 106 side of the bathtub 100 via the hanger position changer 4 or the like. It can be pulled easily.

図１０は、溝Ｕの幅を変更できる固定部２１Ａを示している。この固定部２１Ａでは、つまみ２１ｃを回転させて押し板２１ｄを移動することにより、溝Ｕの幅を簡単に変えることができるので、壁部１０３・・の厚さが種々に変化しても、この固定部２１を浴槽１００に容易に取り付けることができる。 FIG. 10 shows a fixed portion 21A in which the width of the groove U can be changed. In the fixing portion 21A, the width of the groove U can be easily changed by rotating the knob 21c and moving the push plate 21d. Therefore, even if the thickness of the wall portion 103 is changed variously, This fixing part 21 can be easily attached to the bathtub 100.

図１１は、幅サイズが異なる種々の浴槽１００に使用できる支持具２Ｂを示している。この支持具２Ｂでは、水平部２３を長く形成するとともに、水平部２３の一端側と垂直部２２とを連結する連結部２６をＴ形で、かつ、水平部２３が貫通できるように形成している。この支持具２Ｂでは、水平部２３の一端側が連結部２６を貫通できるので、水平部２３の支持部の長さを浴槽１００の幅サイズに合わせることができ、この支持具２Ｂを種々の幅サイズの浴槽１００に取り付けることができる。 FIG. 11 shows a support 2B that can be used for various bathtubs 100 having different width sizes. In this support 2B, the horizontal portion 23 is formed long, and the connecting portion 26 that connects the one end side of the horizontal portion 23 and the vertical portion 22 is formed in a T shape so that the horizontal portion 23 can pass therethrough. Yes. In this support tool 2B, since the one end side of the horizontal part 23 can penetrate the connection part 26, the length of the support part of the horizontal part 23 can be match | combined with the width size of the bathtub 100, and this support tool 2B is various width size. It can be attached to the bathtub 100.

また、支持具２Ｂには、浴槽１００の壁部１０３の厚さが厚い場合に使用される吸盤付きの固定部２５が用いられている。この固定部２５は、基板２５ａにパイプ部２５ｂと２つの吸盤部６０，６０とが取り付けられていて、吸盤部６０の吸盤６３（図１２参照）を壁部１０３の上面に吸着させることにより、浴槽１００に固定される。吸盤部６０の詳細は図１２に示されている。基板２５ａの下面側凹部２５ａ−１には、基板２５ａを上下動自在に貫通する支持棒６１の下端に、支持板６２を介して吸盤６３が支持されており、支持棒６１の上端には、支持ピン６５を介して加圧ハンドル６４が回動自在に取り付けられている。吸盤６３を壁部１０３の上面に押し付けた状態で、加圧ハンドル６４を支持ピン６５を中心に回動させ、突部６４ａを基板２５ａに加圧することにより、支持棒６１とともに吸盤６３が持ち上がって、これが壁部１０３の上面を強く吸着する。 Moreover, the fixing | fixed part 25 with a suction cup used when the thickness of the wall part 103 of the bathtub 100 is thick is used for the support tool 2B. The fixing portion 25 has the pipe portion 25b and the two suction cup portions 60, 60 attached to the base plate 25a, and adsorbs the suction cup 63 (see FIG. 12) of the suction cup portion 60 to the upper surface of the wall portion 103. It is fixed to the bathtub 100. Details of the suction cup 60 are shown in FIG. The lower surface side recess 25a-1 of the substrate 25a supports a suction cup 63 via a support plate 62 at the lower end of a support bar 61 penetrating the substrate 25a in a vertically movable manner. A pressure handle 64 is rotatably attached via a support pin 65. With the suction cup 63 pressed against the upper surface of the wall 103, the suction handle 63 is lifted together with the support bar 61 by rotating the pressure handle 64 around the support pin 65 and pressurizing the protrusion 64a against the substrate 25a. This strongly adsorbs the upper surface of the wall 103.

図１３は、棒状の支持具２Ｃを示している。この支持具２Ｃは、一般に衣類等かけ用の突っ張り棒（衣類収納室等で使用されるもの）として市販されているものであり、浴槽１００を挟んで対向するように設けられている一対の浴室壁面Ｗ、Ｗ間に取り付けられる。この支持具２Ｃは、パイプ状の本体部７０と、この本体部７０の一端側に同軸状に差し込まれる、やや小径の伸縮部７１と、本体部７０内のねじ部にねじ込まれて軸方向に移動可能であるとともに、伸縮部７１の一端側が貫通するように差し込まれており、かつ、伸縮部７１と一体になって回転可能な移動部７２と、移動部７２と伸縮部７１の拡径部７１ａとの間に設けられ、伸縮部７１を軸方向に加圧するバネ部材７３とから構成されている。 FIG. 13 shows a rod-shaped support 2C. This support 2C is generally sold as a strut rod for hanging clothes or the like (used in a clothing storage room or the like), and a pair of bathrooms provided so as to face each other with the bathtub 100 interposed therebetween. It is attached between the wall surfaces W and W. The support 2C is pipe-shaped main body 70, a slightly smaller diameter expansion / contraction section 71 inserted coaxially into one end side of the main body section 70, and a screw section in the main body section 70 so as to be axially inserted. A movable portion 72 that is movable and is inserted so that one end side of the stretchable portion 71 passes therethrough and that can rotate integrally with the stretchable portion 71, and a diameter-enlarged portion of the movable portion 72 and the stretchable portion 71. The spring member 73 is provided between the elastic member 71 and the elastic member 71 in the axial direction.

この支持具２Ｃを浴室壁面Ｗ，Ｗ間に取り付けるには、伸縮部７１を本体部７０に対して回転させて移動部７２を軸方向に動かし、支持具２Ｃの全長を浴室壁面Ｗ，Ｗ間の長さより所定量だけ長くした状態で、伸縮部７１をバネ部材７３のバネ力に抗しつつ、所定量だけ本体部７０内に押し込んで、この支持具２Ｃを浴室壁面Ｗ，Ｗ間に水平に配置すればよい。支持具２Ｃは、両端がバネ力により浴室壁面Ｗ，Ｗに加圧されて、この浴室壁面Ｗ，Ｗに容易に取り付けられる。もちろん、この支持具２Ｃには、既存の衣類等かけ用の突っ張り棒が利用できるので、器具１のコストの低減を図ることもできる。 In order to attach this support tool 2C between the bathroom wall surfaces W, W, the telescopic part 71 is rotated with respect to the main body part 70, the moving part 72 is moved in the axial direction, and the entire length of the support tool 2C is set between the bathroom wall surfaces W, W. In a state where it is longer by a predetermined amount than the length, the telescopic part 71 is pushed into the main body part 70 by a predetermined amount while resisting the spring force of the spring member 73, and the support 2C is horizontally placed between the bathroom wall surfaces W and W. Should be arranged. The support tool 2C is easily attached to the bathroom wall surfaces W and W, with both ends being pressed against the bathroom wall surfaces W and W by spring force. Of course, the support tool 2 C can use an existing clothes stick or the like, so that the cost of the instrument 1 can be reduced.

図１４は、片持式の支持具２Ｄを示している。この支持具２Ｄは、浴槽１００の背もたれ部１０６側の壁部に接する浴室壁面Ｗに取り付けられるものであり、浴室壁面Ｗにねじにより取り付けられる固定部としての基板８０と、基板８０に回動自在に支持されるアーム部としての支持板８１とから構成されている。基板８０には、図１５で示されるように、支持板８１を受ける一対の受け部８０ａ，８０ａが上下に形成され、この受け部８０ａに支持孔Ｖが形成されている。また、支持板８１には、一端側に一対の突部８１ａ，８１ｂが形成され、この突部８１ａ，８１ｂに、基板８０の支持孔Ｖに回動自在に差し込まれる、突起部Ｔが形成されている。また、支持板８１には、他端側に、フック３をかけるためのやや細くなった支持部８１ｃが形成されている。なお、支持板８１は、やや上方に持ち上げることにより、突起部Ｔが支持孔Ｖからはずれるので、基板８０から取り外すことができるようになっている。 FIG. 14 shows a cantilever support 2D. The support 2D is attached to a bathroom wall W that is in contact with the wall on the backrest 106 side of the bathtub 100, and can be rotated to the board 80 as a fixing part that is attached to the bathroom wall W with screws. It is comprised from the support plate 81 as an arm part supported by. As shown in FIG. 15, the substrate 80 is formed with a pair of receiving portions 80a and 80a for receiving the support plate 81, and a support hole V is formed in the receiving portion 80a. The support plate 81 is formed with a pair of protrusions 81a and 81b on one end side, and a protrusion T that is rotatably inserted into the support hole V of the substrate 80 is formed on the protrusions 81a and 81b. ing. Further, the support plate 81 is formed with a support portion 81c that is slightly thinner for hooking the hook 3 on the other end side. The support plate 81 can be removed from the substrate 80 because the protrusion T is detached from the support hole V by being lifted slightly upward.

頭部Ｍ１を牽引するために、入浴者Ｍが入浴する場合には、支持板８１を基板８０に対して直交するように取り付けるか、又は浴室壁面Ｗ側から基板８０に対して直交するように回動させ、支持板８１の支持部８１ｃ側にフック３を介して、吊り位置変更具４や吊り具５を支持させるようにする。また、他の入浴者が入浴する場合には、支持板８１を基板８０と平行になるように、浴室壁面Ｗ側に回動させておくか、支持板８１を基板８０から取り外しておく。したがって、この支持具２Ｄは、これ自体又は基板８０が浴室壁面Ｗに取り付けたままであっても、これらが他の入浴者の入浴のじゃまになることはない。このため、頭部Ｍ１を牽引する場合でも、入浴者Ｍは、支持具２Ｄによる支持の準備を容易になすことができる。 When the bather M takes a bath to pull the head M1, the support plate 81 is attached so as to be orthogonal to the substrate 80 or so as to be orthogonal to the substrate 80 from the bathroom wall surface W side. The suspension position change tool 4 and the suspension tool 5 are supported via the hook 3 on the support portion 81 c side of the support plate 81. When another bather takes a bath, the support plate 81 is rotated to the bathroom wall W side so as to be parallel to the substrate 80, or the support plate 81 is removed from the substrate 80. Accordingly, even if the support 2D itself or the substrate 80 remains attached to the bathroom wall surface W, they do not interfere with the bathing of other bathers. For this reason, even when pulling the head M1, the bather M can easily prepare for support by the support 2D.

また、図１５で示されるように、基板８０に吸盤部６０が取り付けられている場合には、必要時のみ、４つの吸盤部６０を介して、支持具２Ｄを浴室壁面Ｗに取り付けるようにし、不要な場合は取り外しておく。この場合、吸盤部６０の構成は、固定部２５に設けられたものと同一である。 Also, as shown in FIG. 15, when the suction cup 60 is attached to the substrate 80, the support 2D is attached to the bathroom wall W via the four suction cups 60 only when necessary. Remove if unnecessary. In this case, the configuration of the suction cup portion 60 is the same as that provided in the fixed portion 25.

なお、吊り位置変更具４には、くさりの他に、下端にフックが取り付けられ、長手方向に多数の吊りリングが設けられた紐状のものや、回転をストップさせる機構がついた爪車に、下端にフックが取り付けられたチェーンを巻いたものや、支持具２の支持部側に巻き上げ可能で、下端にフックがつけられたベルト状のものなど、種々のものが考えられる。 The hanging position changer 4 includes a string-like one provided with a hook at the lower end and provided with a number of hanging rings in the longitudinal direction, and a claw wheel with a mechanism for stopping rotation. Various types are conceivable, such as those in which a chain with a hook attached to the lower end is wound, or a belt-like one that can be wound up on the support part side of the support 2 and has a hook attached to the lower end.

また、支持具２は、浴室壁面Ｗと浴槽１００の両方に固定されるものであってもよい。さらに、吊り具５は、頭部を上方に牽引して、頸椎等を引き延ばせるものであれば、その形状等はどのようなものであってもよい。 Moreover, the support tool 2 may be fixed to both the bathroom wall surface W and the bathtub 100. Furthermore, the hanging tool 5 may have any shape as long as the head can be pulled upward to extend the cervical spine or the like.

また、吊り具５で頭部を牽引しつつ入浴する場合に、吊り具５による牽引力（吊り荷重）Ｐを変更する方法として、浴槽１００内の湯Ｑの量を増減し、湯面Ｑ１の位置を変更することにより、入浴者Ｍに加わる浮力Ｆを増減するようにしてもよい。例えば、大きな牽引力Ｐで頭部Ｍ１を牽引する日には、予め浴槽１００中の湯Ｑの量を所定量まで減少させておき、頭部Ｍ１を牽引する入浴が終了して、他の入浴者が入浴する場合には、その後、浴槽１００に湯Ｑを加えるようにする。 Moreover, when bathing while pulling the head with the hanger 5, as a method of changing the tractive force (hung load) P by the hanger 5, the amount of hot water Q in the bathtub 100 is increased or decreased, and the position of the hot water surface Q1. The buoyancy F applied to the bather M may be increased or decreased by changing. For example, on the day when the head M1 is towed with a large traction force P, the amount of hot water Q in the bathtub 100 is reduced in advance to a predetermined amount, and the bathing towing the head M1 is completed, so that other bathers When bathing, the hot water Q is added to the bathtub 100 thereafter.

さらに、頭部を牽引する場合に、入浴者Ｍは、足先を浴槽１００の底部につけず、体の一部（たとえば、手）を浴槽１００につけて、体のバランスをとるようにしてもよい。 Further, when the head is towed, the bather M may balance the body by putting a part of the body (for example, a hand) on the bathtub 100 without putting his feet on the bottom of the bathtub 100. .
