Description

The present invention relates to a table used for multiple functions such as an unstable body state, for example, a semi-wake state on a hospital bed, reading in a bath in a bathtub, and a beautiful face.

As a conventional bed table, it is handed over between a pair of protective fences installed on both sides of the bed frame as a multifunctional bed table device that is convenient for people with disabilities, elderly people and sick people to eat and read In the bed table apparatus, a lattice member having a curved upper side is detachably suspended at the upper edge of the protective fence, and a table plate is provided in the space between the lattice members. Some of the table plates are provided with hooks that are hooked on the grid-like members on both the left and right side surfaces in the width direction so that the position can be freely adjusted in the vertical direction and the installation angle. (See Patent Document 1)

In addition, on both sides of the base plate 2 having a recess 4 that is large enough to fit a human body torso at the front edge of the central part, the receiver is detachably engaged with the left and right protective fences standing on both sides of the bed. Each of the parts 3 is provided so that the base plate 2 can be bridged between the protective fences via the receiving part 3, and the receiving part 3 is engaged with the protective fence between the base plate 2 and the receiving part 3. When the bed table base 1 is constructed by providing the slide means 8 for sliding the base plate 2 to the left and right in the combined state, the body can be fitted into the recess 4 of the base plate 2 so that the elbow can be easily attached. There is a bed table. (See Patent Document 2)

In addition, as a reading table in the bathroom, an inclined plate on which a book or newspaper is placed is provided. The plate is centrally located between the ends of the table and has a width shorter than the length of the table. The table includes a tray portion having a female recess in the region of the long side piece that accommodates the male projection at the bottom of the reading plate. When the reading plate has its corners fitted into a sheet near the side piece of the tray portion and dropped into a predetermined position, the projection engages with the recess of the female mold and the plate is inclined. Some are stopped. (See Patent Document 3)

Also, as a half-body bath tub lid, a rectangular and rigid lightweight synthetic resin plate is provided with a latch receiving portion having a substantially L-shaped cross section at one end of the long side, and an arcuate notch at the center of the one end of the long side A forearm extension plate having a substantially elliptical through hole formed on the left and right diagonally inward sides of the notch, and the forearm extension plate, a lightweight synthetic resin plate having the same thickness and the same color and being rigid in a rectangular shape The inner part corresponding to the arc-shaped cutout portion of the forearm delivery plate is provided with a latching portion having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section at one end edge of the long side that faces the engagement receiving portion of the forearm delivery plate.

In the bed table of Patent Document 1, the upper and lower positions of the table and the installation angle can be set freely. However, the bed table can be used only when the bed fence is in a lattice shape because it is hooked on the lattice member. In addition, when reading a book or the like while lying down, the load on the contact portion of the hand is remarkably hard, and the burden is not reduced with a hard material.

Further, in the bed table of Patent Document 2, the upper body must be raised vertically to fit the human torso, and the body must be adjusted to the height of the table.

In addition, in the reading table in the bathroom of Patent Document 3, the main stand is locked at an inclined position, and in a general bathtub, the edge of the bathtub is often higher than the eye position of the sitting position, and the height of the sitting position must be changed. In addition, it is difficult to read, and when the book is held by hand, the portion that comes into contact with the hand is made of a hard resin, so there is an inconvenience that the hand hurts when reading for a long time and the arm is burdened.

In addition, in the half-body bathing tub lid of Patent Document 4, an arm is inserted from an approximately elliptical through hole obliquely inwardly to the left and right, but a book cannot be read unless the arm is inserted into the through hole. By aligning the arm and the body position with the through-hole, the body and arm are inconvenient and unstable in an unstable state in water.

The present invention solves the above problems and eliminates the need to adjust the position and height of the body to the table when reading on the bed and half-bath in the bathroom. An object of the present invention is to provide a table that is reduced and secures a temporary storage space for books and foods during bathing and is exchangeable and space-saving.

Hold the book by placing a book with a stretchable soft material in the part with a space enough to put a book and hand on the edge of the long side of the front table of the table body and penetrating into a concave shape The hand can be drawn to the body, it can be pulled down to the position of the line of sight, and the contact part of the hand is made of a soft material so that it does not hurt, and reading can be done without placing a burden on the elbow or arm. It is possible to do.

The table is characterized in that it is hygienic because it can be sun-dried when used in a bathroom because the seat portion made of a flexible soft material can be removed.

Since the front table portion having the seat portion and the rear table portion can be divided and folded, the space can be stored when not in use even in a small bathroom without taking up space.

Since the table can be attached to a bed table or a bed rail, the table can be used on a wide bed.

Put the book on the long edge of the table body with enough space to put your book and your hand in a concave shape, and put a stretchable soft material seat on the part to put your hand on your body Can be pulled down to the position of the line of sight, and because the contact portion of the hand is made of a soft material, there is no pain and reading can be done without placing a burden on the elbow or arm. In the bathroom, beauty, constitution improvement, blood circulation promotion, and the popularity of bathroom TV have increased the number of people who enjoy half-body bathing. Recently, as an effective use of relaxation time, a place to place books and food to eat, eat and read Can be secured.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The table main body 1 has a front table 1 a, a rear table 1 b, and a seat portion 2, and the mirror 4 can be detachably installed at an arbitrary position of the table main body 1 with a suction cup 6.

In FIG. 2, a seat portion 2 is detachably fixed to the front table 1a. In this case, the sheet holder 3 may be replaced with a fitting type, a dot button, a screw or the like. As a result, only the seat portion 2 can be sun-dried, can be kept hygienic, can be exchanged with deterioration, and does not need to be replaced with the entire table body 1.

Since the sheet portion 2 is an elastic soft material, the book and the hand holding the book are drawn to the body side by its weight, so that the book can be stored even in a sleeping position or a bathtub with a high bathtub edge. It's hard to get tired because it goes down to your own eyes. In addition, since the portion that hits the hand is a soft material, the hand is less likely to hurt even when reading for a long time.

Furthermore, a synergistic effect is promoted by using a material kneaded, sandwiched, or sprayed with a metal excellent in ecological tissue affinity such as germanium or titanium in the sheet portion 2.

The sheet portion 2 may be formed of a net or string, may cover the entire surface of the concave portion, or may have a width on which a hand and a book can ride.

Moreover, in FIG. 3, the front table 1a and the back table 1b are connected so that it can be bent. In this case, as a coupling method, it may be an integral molding with a notch, or may be back-stopped with a hinge or the like. Thereby, even if it exists in a narrow bathroom, it can accommodate in the bathtub end, without taking a place.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the table is installed on the bathtub edge B of the bathtub A, the back surface and both ends of the table body 1 are subjected to anti-slip processing.

In addition, when used in a bathroom, food and drink, a bathroom TV, and the like can be placed on the table body 1.

Further, since the mirror 4 can be installed at any position by the sucker 6, since both hands can be used freely without changing the direction of the body, massage and eyelash care during bathing can be performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the table main body 1 is installed on the bed table D, the bed table installation tool 7 may be foldably attached to an arbitrary position on the long side of the rear table portion 1b, or may be a sucker, a clip, or the like. As a result, it is possible to use a bed wider than the table body 1 even in a hospital using the bed table.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the table main body 1 may be rotatably installed on the bed fence, so that it is possible to simplify installation and storage by eliminating the trouble of removal when in use or not in use.

Moreover, when using it at the time of half bathing in a bathroom, it may be used with a commercially available bathtub lid or may be used as a bathtub lid.

In addition, when relaxing while taking a bath, the head may be placed on the tub edge B, the chin may be placed on the seat portion 2, and it may be used so that it does not sink into hot water even when napping.
