  However, as in Patent Document 1, if the handrail is provided only on the wall surface on the bathtub side, when the user sitting on the bench counter is at a position away from the bathtub side, the handrail is not immediately nearby. Therefore, support for movement by handrail cannot be received. In particular, in the case of a bench counter type bathroom unit, the faucet and the shower hook are often arranged on the wall surface on the side away from the bathtub, and the handrail preferably extends to the bench counter side.

  However, if a handrail is provided above the washing counter, the handrail touches the back of the user sitting on the bench counter, which gets in the way. For this reason, it is preferable to provide a backrest portion on the front side of the handrail. Although it is conceivable that the backrest portion is fixed to the bathroom wall surface in the same manner as the handrail, in order to simplify the configuration, it is preferable to support the backrest portion with the handrail.

  However, when the back support part is attached to the handrail, the back support part becomes an obstacle at the time of transfer, which causes a problem that the essential handrail cannot be gripped. Although it is conceivable that the backrest is provided only on the side away from the bathtub where it does not get in the way during transfer, users who use the hot water in the bathtub to wash and wash hair should sit on the side close to the bathtub. As a result, the back cannot be bent on the back pad.

  The present invention aims to solve the above-described problems, and is a bathroom unit in which a backrest portion is attached to a handrail extending from an upper side of a bench counter toward an upper side of a bathtub. In addition, the user can use the back rest regardless of where the user is sitting on the bench counter, and can use the handrail without disturbing the back rest when moving. Is to provide a comfortable bathroom unit.

  To achieve the above object, a bathroom unit according to the present invention includes a bathtub, a washing floor provided at a position adjacent to the bathtub, a first wall facing the bathtub across the washing floor, and the washing area. A second wall surface facing the first wall surface across the floor and the bathtub, a third wall surface connecting the end portion of the first wall surface and the end portion of the second wall surface, and located on the washing area side A seatable bench counter fixed to the third wall surface and provided to connect the bathtub and the first wall surface; fixed to the third wall surface; A bathroom unit comprising: a handrail extending toward an upper side of a bathtub; and a backrest member that can be turned by a user seated on the bench counter, the backrest member Is a position change with respect to the handrail. It can mounted, characterized in that is.

  According to the present invention, since the bench counter is provided, transfer between the washing place and the inside of the bathtub can be easily performed. In addition, since the handrail extends from the upper side of the bench counter toward the upper side of the bathtub, even if the user is seated at any position of the bench counter, it can be transferred using the handrail, Transfer between the washing area and the bathtub can be performed more easily. Moreover, since the backrest part is attached with respect to the handrail, the support structure which fixes a handrail and a backrest part to a bathroom wall surface becomes unnecessary, respectively, and can simplify a structure. In addition, since the back support member is attached to the handrail so that the position of the back support member can be changed, the back support part can be used regardless of the position of the bench counter when the user is seated. In addition, the handrail can be used without the back rest being in the way.

  In the bathroom unit according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the backrest member is detachably attached to the handrail.

  According to this preferable aspect, since the said back support member can be attached or detached from a handrail, the back support member can be separated from the handrail and cleaned.

  According to the present invention, the bathroom unit has a backrest attached to a handrail extending from the upper side of the bench counter toward the upper side of the bathtub, and the user is seated at any position on the bench counter. Even if it is a case, while being able to use a back support part, when moving, the bathroom unit which can use a handrail without the back support part becoming obstructive can be provided.

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

FIG. 1 is a perspective view inside a bathroom in a bathroom unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The bathroom unit according to this embodiment mainly includes a washing floor 1, a bathtub 2 disposed at a position adjacent to the washing floor 1, and a plurality of wall panels erected around the washing floor 1 and the bathtub 2. It is comprised from the ceiling panel (not shown) installed in the upper part of a wall panel.

  The wall panel includes a first wall surface 5 facing the bathtub 2 across the washing floor 1, a second wall surface 15 facing the first wall 5 across the washing floor 1 and the bathtub 2, and the first wall surface 5. A third wall surface 4 connecting one end portion and one end portion 15 of the second wall surface, and a fourth wall surface connecting the other end portion of the first wall surface 5 and the other end portion of the second wall surface 15 (not shown). ).

  In the present embodiment, a bench counter 3 having a supporting strength that allows a user to sit on the third wall surface 4 located on the washing floor 1 is fixed. The upper surface of the bench counter 3 is disposed at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the bathtub 2 so that a user seated on the bench counter 3 can put his / her legs in and out of the bathtub 2 in the sitting state. The bench counter 3 has a supporting strength that can withstand the weight of the user by supporting the third wall surface 4 and a supporting leg (not shown) by contacting the floor 1 with the ground.

  A faucet device 6 provided with a shower hose (not shown) and a shower hook 7 are attached to the first wall surface 5 near the bench counter 3 side. Since the faucet device 6 and the shower hook 7 are attached to the first wall surface 5, these members can be prevented from hitting the user's body when the user is seated on the bench counter 3. Moreover, since the bench counter 3 mentioned above is formed wide so that the bathtub 2 and the 1st wall surface 5 may be connected, the user who uses the faucet device 6 and performs hair washing and a body wash is the bench counter 3 The user who performs hair washing and body washing using the water in the bathtub can sit on the bathtub 2 side of the bench counter 3.

  Further, a wide handrail 11 is attached to the third wall surface 4 located above the upper surface of the bathtub 2 and the bench counter 3. The handrail 11 is provided so as to connect the vicinity of the first wall surface 5 and the vicinity of the second wall surface side 15. Therefore, it is possible to move between the bathtub 2 and the bench counter 3 using the handrail 11 regardless of where the user is seated on the bench counter 3. The handrail 11 is preferably attached at a position where it can be easily used when moving to the bathtub 2 in a standing position and a sitting position.

  Further, a backrest member 9 on which a user sitting on the bench counter 3 can turn his back is slidably and detachably attached to the handrail 11. The backing member 9 is formed of a cushioning material such as expanded polystyrene. In the state where the backrest member 9 is attached to the handrail 11, the backrest member 9 can be disposed on the front side rather than the handrail 11, so that a user sitting on the bench counter 3 is obstructed by the handrail 11 Therefore, it is possible to sit on the bench counter 3 with the back against the back support member 9 having cushioning properties.

  Further, since the backrest member 9 is slidably attached to the handrail 11, when sitting on the first wall surface 5 side of the bench counter 3 in order to use the faucet device 6, FIG. As described above, the backrest member 9 can be used by being moved to the first wall surface 5 side.

In this case, it is conceivable that the backrest member 9 becomes an obstacle during movement between the bench counter 3 and the bathtub 2, and the essential handrail 11 cannot be gripped. However, according to the present embodiment, the backrest member 9 Since it is slidable and detachable, the backrest member 9 can be moved to a position that does not interfere with the use of the handrail 11.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, by moving the back support member 9 to an upper position of the bathtub 2, while sitting on the upper surface (rim surface) of the bathtub 2, the rim surface of the bathtub 2 is used by using the back support member 9. When taking a sitting posture, it is possible to drown without directly touching the third wall surface 4 side.

  Moreover, since the back support member 9 is detachably attached to the handrail 11, the back support member 9 can be separated from the handrail and cleaned.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a second handrail 10 is separately provided above the handrail 11, and the neck rest member 8 can be slid and attached to the second handrail 10 in the same manner as the back rest member 9. It may be attached as possible. In this case, when the bather sits on the bench counter 3, the handrails 10 and 11 are attached to the positions corresponding to the waist part and the neck part, and the back support member 9 and the neck support member 8 are attached to the respective handrails 10 and 11. It can hold the waist and neck of the bather and can sit on the bench counter 3 in a more relaxed posture.

Further, since the back support member 9 and the neck support member 8 are supported by the handrails 10 and 11, there is no need to provide a support material dedicated to the back support member 9 or a support material specific to the neck support member 8. Accordingly, it is possible to attach the backrest member to the place where the handrails 10 and 11 are attached without restricting the attachment positions of the handrails 10 and 11. Further, with this integrated structure, it is possible to secure a space for attaching other things such as a storage shelf and a mirror to the wall surface in a space other than the handrails 10 and 11 and the back support member and the neck support member.
