Called. By arranging these functional components on the wall surface 72a in the bathroom unit 100, the flow line of the user is shortened and the usability is improved. The wall surface 72a on which such functional components are arranged is referred to as a functional surface in the bathroom unit 100, and the panel body forming the wall portion 72 is referred to as a functional panel.

  For each functional component, for example, a counter 82 is provided at a low position, and a water supply device 3, a handrail 4, and a mirror 81 are provided so as to be higher in this order so that a user sitting on a chair placed on the washing floor 60 can use the functional component. The height of the handrail 4 may be a height that can be reached by a user sitting in a chair and that can be grasped by a hand raised from the chair and lowered in a middle waist or a standing posture. The shower device 2 is preferably configured to be able to hold the shower head 21 at a position above the vicinity of the handrail 4. The shelf 83 is provided at substantially the same height as the handrail 4 or at a slightly lower height.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the shower device 2 and the handrail 4, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of the end of the handrail 4. The handrail 4 has a rod shape and is provided over both lateral ends of the wall surface 72a. The handrail 4 extends laterally in the axial direction along the wall surface 72a, and is supported by brackets 46 provided at a plurality of locations in the axial direction. One end of the bracket 46 is connected to the handrail 4 and the other end is connected to the wall surface 72a to support the handrail 4. The handrail 4 is disposed apart from the wall surface 72a.

  The handrail 4 is provided in parallel with the wall surface 72a from the end on the side of the bathtub 1 to the middle of the washing floor 60, and has a first portion 41 in which the distance from the wall surface 72a is substantially constant. In addition, the handrail 4 has a distance from the middle of the washing floor 60 to the end on the washing floor 60 side where the distance from the wall surface 72a changes in accordance with the position in the axial direction, that is, the lateral position along the wall surface 72a. It has two parts 42. The second portion 42 has a large separation distance from the wall surface 72 a on the corner side of the washing floor 60 opposite to the bathtub 1, and further increases the separation distance from the wall surface 72 a toward the end on the washing floor 60 side. It is provided in. The distance between the second portion 42 and the wall surface 72a increases as the second portion 42 approaches a corner of the washroom floor 60 opposite to the bathtub 1. The second portion 42 has a concavely curved shape toward the center of the washing floor 60, but may have a convexly curved shape, or may have a shape combining concave and convex curved shapes. Good.

  The brackets 46 are rod-shaped, and are provided at three places on the first part 41 and one place on the second part 42 of the handrail 4. As described above, the second portion 42 is provided such that the distance between the second portion 42 and the wall surface 72a is large, and the distance between the second portion 42 and the wall surface 72a increases toward the end on the washing floor 60 side, and separates from the wall surface 72a. Thus, the distance from the wall surface 72a changes. Therefore, when a load is applied to the second portion 42, the moment acting on the wall surface 72a supporting the handrail 4 is larger than when a load is applied to the first portion 41. Therefore, at least one bracket 46 of the plurality of brackets 46 supporting the handrail 4 is disposed on the second portion 42 to secure the strength of the handrail 4 and suppress deformation of the handrail 4.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the bracket 46 that supports the second portion 42 of the handrail 4 is provided at a position offset from the end of the handrail 4 toward the center in the axial direction of the handrail 4. End protrudes from the side surface 46a of the bracket 46 in the axial direction. The dimension of the end of the handrail 4 projecting from the side surface 46a of the bracket 46 may be, for example, about several cm to 10 cm. The bracket 46 functions as a regulating member that regulates the hose 22 of the shower device 2 at the end of the handrail 4 on the second portion 42 side so as to be located on the side opposite to the end of the handrail 4 on the first portion 41 side.

  Next, the operation of the bathroom unit 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are schematic diagrams for explaining a use state of the shower device 2.

  The user sits on a chair facing the wall surface 72a on the washing floor 60, and uses the shower device 2 and the water supply device 3 provided on the wall surface 72a to wash the body. The user reaches and grasps the handrail 4 when maintaining and changing the posture of the body. The position of the handrail 4 that the user reaches and grasps is not limited to the portion located in front of the user's shoulder width range, and may be an outer position wider than the shoulder width. When the user reaches toward the second part 42 of the handrail 4 and grasps the handrail 4, the second part 42 of the handrail 4 is located at a position where the distance from the wall surface 72a is large and close to the user, It is easy to grasp. As described above, the handrail 4 is curved so that the separation distance from the wall surface 72a or the like increases in accordance with the position in the axial direction, that is, the lateral position along the wall surface 72a or the like. Can be easily extended to reach the handrail 4, and convenience can be improved.

  In FIG. 6A, the shower head 21 is located near the lower end of the slide bar 23. In this state, the hose 22 connected to the shower head 21 can be positioned at the height position of the handrail 4, beside the side surface 46 a of the bracket 46 and behind the handrail 4. The bracket 46 extends from the second portion 42 of the handrail 4 to the wall surface 72a, and prevents the hose 22 from moving toward the first portion 41 of the handrail 4, and the side of the side surface 46a of the bracket 46, that is, The handrail 4 is regulated so as to be located on the end side of the second portion 42 in the axial direction.

  As described above, since the end of the handrail 4 protrudes in the axial direction from the side surface 46a of the bracket 46, the hose 22 is restricted so as not to protrude in front of the handrail 4 at the height position of the handrail 4. You. It is preferable that the hose 22 naturally be in the state shown in FIG. 6A, but at least the user moves the hose 22 so that the hose 22 is positioned on the side of the side surface 46 a of the bracket 46 and behind the handrail 4. I hope I can do it.

  There is a possibility that the hose 22 may bend and protrude toward the center of the washing floor 60 below the height of the handrail 4. However, since the position of the hose 22 is restricted to the side of the side surface 46a of the bracket 46 so as not to protrude in front of the handrail 4 at the height of the handrail 4, the height of the handrail 4 can be reduced. The amount of protrusion below is suppressed. Further, the hose 22 is provided so as to be curved toward the wall surface 74a below the vicinity of the height position of the handrail 4, so that the projection of the washing floor 60 toward the center can be further suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the shower head 21 is hung at a position near the upper end of the slide bar 23, the hose 22 is raised upward, so that the hose 22 protrudes toward the center of the washing floor 60. Is less. In this case, even if the hose 22 is not positioned on the side of the side surface 46a of the bracket 46 at the height position of the handrail 4, it is unlikely to hinder the operation of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when the shower head 21 is detached from the hook 23a and used, the hose 22 is restricted by the bracket 46 and the end of the handrail 4 on the second portion 42 side. It moves freely without having to. Thus, the shower device 2 can easily use the shower head 21 at a position far from the wall surface 72a, or swing the shower head 21 left and right or up and down, thereby improving usability.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C are schematic views corresponding to the cross-sectional views of FIG. 3 showing modified examples of the handrail 4 and the bracket 46. The handrail 4 shown in FIG. 7A has a substantially constant distance from the wall surface 72a, and the bracket 46 is offset from the end of the handrail 4 on the washing floor 60 side to the center side in the axial direction of the handrail 4. The end of the handrail 4 protrudes in the axial direction from the side surface 46 a of the bracket 46. Also in this modification, the hose 22 connected to the shower head 21 can be located at the height of the handrail 4, on the side of the side surface 46 a of the bracket 46, and behind the handrail 4.

  The handrail 4 shown in FIG. 7B is provided with a guard member 47 extending from the end of the handrail 4 on the second portion 42 side to the wall surface 72a. The guard member 47 is provided at a position offset from the end of the handrail 4 on the washing floor 60 side to the center side in the axial direction of the handrail 4, and the end of the handrail 4 protrudes from the guard member 47 in the axial direction. . Also in this modified example, the hose 22 connected to the shower head 21 is moved to the side of the guard member 47 (the end side of the second portion 42 of the handrail 4) and the handrail at the height position of the handrail 4. 4 can be located behind.

  In the handrail 4 shown in FIG. 7C, the guard member 47 is provided so as to be inclined. The guard member 47 is inclined so as to approach the center in the lateral direction of the wall surface 72a from the end on the second portion 42 side toward the wall surface 72a. Also in this modified example, the hose 22 connected to the shower head 21 is moved to the side of the guard member 47 (the end side of the second portion 42 of the handrail 4) and the handrail at the height position of the handrail 4. 4 can be located behind.
