A mechanism for staking is provided. Furthermore, it is set as the structure which provided the connection mechanism which connects and connects the outflow port from the said water softening apparatus and the said water supply piping part connected downstream downstream with flexible piping.

  Moreover, the chair and water softening device provided with the chair function for a bathroom according to the second aspect of the present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve the above-described object. This device is provided with the water supply pipe connecting portion connected to the upstream as appropriate on the inner surface of the bathroom unit, and the water softening device is fixed inside the portable housing having the upper surface formed on the seat surface, and the water softening device is connected to the water softening device. A mechanism for connecting and connecting the inflow port and the water supply pipe section connected to the upstream with a flexible pipe is provided. Furthermore, it is set as the structure which provided the connection mechanism which connects and connects the outflow port from the said water softening apparatus and the said water supply piping part connected to a hand shower by flexible piping.

  Moreover, the chair and water softening device provided with the chair function for a bathroom according to the third aspect of the present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve the aforementioned object. This device has a structure in which the water softening device is detachably attached to a portable space inside the housing. In other words, the bathroom chair and the water softening device can be used as separate furniture in the bathroom.

Embodiments of the Invention

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a chair and water softening device having a bathroom chair function according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1, 2 and 3 show one embodiment of a chair and water softening device having a chair function for a bathroom according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the present invention shown in FIG. 1, a water supply outlet 2 which is a water supply pipe connected to the upstream and a hose 4 connected and connected to an inlet 3 to the water softening device 1 are connected and connected by a joint 5 with packing. In addition, the hose 7 communicated and connected to the outlet 6 from the water softening device 1 is communicated and connected to the soft water supply port 9 which is a water supply pipe portion connected downstream by a joint 8 with packing. Further, the water softening device 1 has a structure in which the seat height is substantially close to the length of the lower leg and the upper surface is fixed to the inside of the housing 10 formed on the seat surface. Also in this case, a hose is used as a flexible pipe, but it is not limited to a hose. In addition, a flowing water opening / closing valve can also be provided in the water supply piping section connected to the upstream appropriately so that the chair / water softening device can be attached / removed even when water is being supplied.

  In the present invention shown in FIG. 2, a hose 4 connected to and connected to an inlet 3 to the water softening device 1 is connected to a shower attachment port (mixing plug) 11 which is a water supply pipe portion connected upstream by a joint 5 with packing. The hand shower 12 connected and connected to the outlet 6 from the water softening device 1 is connected and connected by a joint 8 with packing. Further, the water softening device 1 has a structure in which the seat height is substantially close to the length of the lower leg and the upper surface is fixed to the inside of the housing 10 formed on the seat surface. Also in this case, a hose is used as a flexible pipe, but it is not limited to a hose. In addition, a flowing water opening / closing valve can also be provided in the water supply piping section connected to the upstream appropriately so that the chair / water softening device can be attached / removed even when water is being supplied.

  In the present invention shown in FIG. 3, the case 10 has a seat surface with an upper surface having a height substantially equal to the length of the lower leg and an area substantially equivalent to the heel, and a water softening device formed so as to be fitted inside the case. In addition to providing a space having a volume in which 1 is embedded, an opening is provided on the side of the housing, and the water softening device 1 can be detachably mounted from the side. Note that the opening for detachably attaching the water softening device 1 to the housing 10 can be provided not only on the side surface but also on the seating surface and the lower surface.

The invention's effect
