According to the first invention, a wall panel, a wash shower counter attached to the wall surface of the wall panel, and a wash shower counter attached to the wall surface above the wash shower counter to discharge water toward the wash shower counter. A faucet device that switches between the spouting stop of the spouting part and the spouting stop of the shower head that discharges water from the sprinkler plate toward the user, and a water faucet that extends vertically above the washbasin counter with respect to the wall surface. A shower bar device having a shower bar attached in a state and a shower hook having a holding portion for detachably holding the shower head and being attached to the shower bar so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The shower bar has a diameter that can be grasped by the user with one hand, and the shower bar is directed toward the front side with respect to the wall surface so that the gap with the wall surface gradually increases from the upper end portion thereof downward. It has a curved shape so as to be convex, and is installed at a position where the user sitting in front of the wash counter can be grasped with one hand, and the holding portion of the shower hook is an angle for holding the shower head. The shower head can be adjusted in the vertical direction, and when the shower hook is moved in the vertical direction along the shower bar, the direction of the sprinkler plate is changed in the vertical direction, and the shower head is moved by the holding portion. It is a bathroom equipped with a shower bar device configured so that the direction of the sprinkler plate changes in the vertical direction even if the holding angle is adjusted.

According to this, the shower bar is configured so that its lower end is located in front of the wall of the wall panel with respect to the upper end, and the user sitting in the chair in front of the wash counter reaches out. It is designed to be grasped. Therefore, when the user stands up from the sitting posture, the lower region of the shower bar can be comfortably grasped in a comfortable posture.

Then, when the user sitting on the chair stands up, the user's body gradually approaches the wall surface. On the other hand, the shower bar is configured so that the gap between the wall panel and the wall surface gradually increases from the upper end to the lower side. In other words, the gap with the wall surface becomes smaller from the lower end of the shower bar upward, and the shower bar is configured to approach the wall surface. The user who tries to stand up from the sitting posture comes to grasp the upper position of the shower bar which gradually approaches the wall surface, that is, the position close to the wall surface according to the standing posture. Therefore, the shower bar can be provided with a function as a handrail suitable for the movement of the user who is about to stand up.

In addition, when the user is seated on a chair, the upper body is located at a position away from the shower bar as compared with the state where the user's body stands up as it is. According to this shower bar device, the shower bar moves the holding portion forward as the shower hook moves downward. Therefore, in the "state in which the shower hook is downward" used by the user while sitting on a chair or the like, the holding portion for holding the shower head moves forward as compared with the "state in which the shower hook is upward". As a result, the shower head can be brought closer to the upper body of the user who has moved backward by sitting on a chair or the like, and water can be easily applied to the upper body of the seated user. As a result, it is possible to comfortably bathe in water while sitting.

Further, in the "state in which the shower hook is above" used by the user in a standing state, the holding portion for holding the shower head moves rearward as compared with the "state in which the shower hook is below". As a result, for example, when the user stands up from a state of being seated on a chair or the like, it is possible to prevent the shower head from getting too close to the upper body of the user who has moved forward by standing up. As a result, even when the user stands up from the state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to easily apply water to the upper body of the user, and it is possible to comfortably bathe in water.

Further, the shower head can change the direction of water discharge from the sprinkler plate up and down as the shower hook moves up and down along the shower bar, and the angle of the holding portion for holding the shower head can be adjusted up and down. The direction of water discharge from the sprinkler plate can also be changed up and down. Therefore, depending on the posture and physique of the user, the user can bathe in water more comfortably whether he / she is sitting on a chair or standing up.

A second invention comprises a shower bar device according to the first invention, wherein the shower bar has a round bar shape, and the shower hook is rotatably attached to the shower bar in a horizontal direction. It is a equipped bathroom.

According to this, the water discharge angle from the sprinkler plate can be freely changed to the left and right while the shower head is stably held by the shower hook.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shower bar device capable of bathing in water more comfortably.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
3 (a) and 3 (b) are cross-sectional views schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 (a) and 3 (b), the shower hook 22 of the shower bar device 10 has a holding portion 30 for detachably holding the shower head 14, and also has a hook main body 32. Further, the attachment portion 34 and the lock mechanism 36 are provided.

The hook body 32 extends in the horizontal direction. In other words, the hook body 32 extends in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the shower bar 20. The extending direction of the hook body 32 is not limited to a strictly horizontal direction. The extending direction of the hook main body 32 may have at least a component extending in the horizontal direction.

The holding portion 30 is provided on one end side of the hook main body 32. The holding portion 30 is, for example, a substantially U-shaped member having a recess 30a corresponding to the shape of the handle portion 14b of the shower head 14. The holding portion 30 holds the shower head 14 detachably by inserting the tapered handle portion 14b of the shower head 14 into the recess 30a from above and engaging the handle portion 14b with the recess 30a.

The hook body 32 rotatably supports the holding portion 30 about the horizontal direction. Further, the hook main body 32 has a latch mechanism 38 for holding the holding portion 30 at a predetermined rotation angle. Thereby, the angle of the shower head 14 about the horizontal direction can be adjusted. For example, it is possible to adjust the discharge of water from the shower head 14 downward or slightly forward.

The latch mechanism 38 has a plunger 38a and a coil spring 38b. The plunger 38a is provided inside the hook main body 32 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The coil spring 38b urges the plunger 38a to the front side.

The holding portion 30 has a plurality of groove portions 30b for adjusting the rotation angle on the back surface side. The plunger 38a is provided between the holding portion 30 and the coil spring 38b, and is pressed against the holding portion 30 by the urging force of the coil spring 38b to engage with any of the plurality of groove portions 30b provided on the back side of the holding portion 30. It fits.

In this way, the rotation angle of the holding portion 30 is maintained by the engagement between the groove portion 30b and the plunger 38a. Then, a force is applied to the holding portion 30, the holding portion 30 is rotated against the urging force of the coil spring 38b, and the plunger 38a is engaged with another groove portion 30b to adjust the rotation angle of the holding portion 30. Can be done. In other words, the water discharge angle of the shower head 14 can be adjusted.

The configuration of the latch mechanism 38 is not limited to the above configuration. The latch mechanism 38 may be of any configuration capable of holding the holding portion 30 at a predetermined rotation angle.

The mounting portion 34 is used for mounting on the shower bar 20. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 via the attachment portion 34. The mounting portion 34 is provided on the other end side (opposite side of the holding portion 30) of the hook main body 32. The mounting portion 34 has a through-hole shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the shower bar 20. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 by inserting the shower bar 20 into the attachment portion 34. The shape of the mounting portion 34 is not limited to the shape of a through hole, and may be, for example, a groove shape. The shape of the mounting portion 34 may be any shape that allows the shower hook 22 to be mounted on the shower bar 20.

The lock mechanism 36 is a mechanism for holding the shower hook 22 at an arbitrary position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20. The lock mechanism 36 has, for example, a movable portion 40 and a coil spring 42.

The movable portion 40 is supported by the hook main body 32 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. As a result, the movable portion 40 moves between the initial position shown in FIG. 3A and the pressing position shown in FIG. 3B. The pressing position is a position pushed downward from the initial position.

The coil spring 42 urges the movable portion 40 upward. The movable portion 40 is urged by the coil spring 42 and is held in the initial position by engaging with the hook main body 32.

The movable portion 40 has an operation portion 40a. The operating portion 40a projects upward from the hook main body 32 in a state where the movable portion 40 is held in the initial position. The movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position by pressing the operating portion 40a and pushing it downward against the urging force of the coil spring 42.

Further, in the state where the movable portion 40 is in the initial position, a part of the movable portion 40 enters the mounting portion 34 and comes into contact with the shower bar 20 inserted through the mounting portion 34. The movable portion 40 presses the shower bar 20 by the urging force of the coil spring 42, and sandwiches the shower bar 20 together with the mounting portion 34. As a result, when the movable portion 40 is in the initial position, the shower hook 22 is held at a predetermined position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20 by the frictional force accompanying the pressing of the shower bar 20.

The movable portion 40 has, for example, an elastic body 44. For the elastic body 44, for example, rubber or the like is used. The coefficient of friction of the elastic body 44 is larger than the coefficient of friction of the main body of the movable portion 40 made of a hard resin material such as plastic. The movable portion 40 brings the elastic body 44 into contact with the shower bar 20 by allowing the elastic body 44 to enter the mounting portion 34 in the initial position. As a result, the frictional force generated between the movable portion 40 and the shower bar 20 can be increased, and the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be more reliably held.

When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the movable portion 40 moves downward and moves in a direction away from the mounting portion 34. The movable portion 40 moves in a direction away from the mounting portion 34 by sliding and moving diagonally with respect to the axial direction of the mounting portion 34.

When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the movable portion 40 retracts from the mounting portion 34. When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the elastic body 44 retracts from the mounting portion 34. As a result, when the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the state in which the shower bar 20 is sandwiched together with the mounting portion 34 is released. Therefore, in the state where the movable portion 40 is moved to the pressing position, the shower hook 22 can be moved in the vertical direction along the shower bar 20.

In this way, the shower hook 22 can adjust the vertical position of the shower hook 22 by grasping the hook main body 32 and pressing the operation portion 40a to move the movable portion 40 to the pressing position. Then, by releasing the pressing of the operating portion 40a and moving the movable portion 40 to the initial position, the shower hook 22 can be held at the adjusted position. As a result, the shower hook 22 can be arranged at an arbitrary position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20. Therefore, in the shower bar device 10, the shower head 14 can be arranged at a height desired by the user.

The configuration of the lock mechanism 36 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration capable of holding the shower hook 22 at an arbitrary position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20.

4 (a) and 4 (b) are side views schematically showing the shower bar device according to the embodiment.

As a result, it is possible to comfortably bathe in water while sitting.

Further, in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is above" used by the user in a standing state, the holding portion 30 for holding the shower head 14 moves rearward as compared with the "state in which the shower hook 22 is below". .. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the user stands up from a state of being seated on a chair or the like, the shower head 14 approaches the upper body of the user who has moved forward by standing up. It is possible to prevent it from passing. As a result, even when the user stands up from the state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to easily apply water to the upper body of the user, and it is possible to comfortably bathe in water. For example, by rotating the holding portion 30 to adjust the water discharge angle of the shower head 14, water can be discharged from above the user toward the whole body of the user as in an overhead shower. Further, the shower head 14 can change the direction of water discharge from the sprinkler plate 14w up and down as the shower hook 22 moves up and down along the shower bar 20, and the angle of the holding portion 30 for holding the shower head 14 can be changed. The water discharge direction from the sprinkler plate 14w can also be changed in the vertical direction by adjusting in the vertical direction. Therefore, depending on the posture and physique of the user, the user can bathe in water more comfortably whether he / she is sitting on a chair or standing up.

Further, the shower bar 20 is configured so that the lower end portion thereof is located in front of the upper end portion of the wall panel 11 away from the wall surface 11a, and the user seated in the chair in front of the wash counter 12 can reach out. It is designed to be grasped. Therefore, when the user stands up from the sitting posture, the lower region of the shower bar 20 can be gripped in a comfortable posture.
Then, when the user sitting on the chair stands up, the user's body gradually approaches the wall surface 11a. On the other hand, in the shower bar 20, the gap between the wall panel 11 and the wall surface 11a gradually increases from the upper end to the lower side. In other words, the gap between the shower bar 20 and the wall surface 11a becomes smaller as the shower bar 20 moves upward from the lower end portion, and the bar body 50 of the shower bar 20 approaches the wall surface 11a. Therefore, the position of the hand holding the shower bar 20 by the user trying to stand up from the sitting posture changes upward, and as the position of the user's body gradually approaches the wall surface 11a, the position of the hand holding the shower bar 20 also changes. It gradually approaches the wall surface 11a. Therefore, it is possible to provide a function as a handrail suitable for assisting the user who is about to stand up.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the shower bar 20 increases the amount of movement of the holding portion 30 backward according to the unit height as the shower hook 22 moves upward. As a result, when the height of the shower hook 22 is finely adjusted while the user is sitting on a chair or the like and the shower hook 22 is in the downward position, the holding portion 30 moves back and forth more than necessary. It is possible to prevent the shower hook 22 from being squeezed, and it is possible to easily adjust the height of the shower hook 22. In addition, by increasing the amount of movement of the holding portion 30 to the rear in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is above" used when the user stands up, the user stands up as it is from the state of being seated on a chair or the like. At that time, it is possible to more appropriately prevent the shower head 14 from getting too close to the upper body of the user who has moved forward by standing up.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the holding portion 30 is located in front of the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position, it is possible to prevent the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 from becoming an obstacle and making it difficult for the shower head 14 held by the holding portion 30 to be grasped. Further, when the user is using the shower bar 20 in a standing state, it is possible to prevent the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 from getting in the way, and it is possible to comfortably bathe in water at an appropriate position.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatably around the shower bar 20, and the holding portion 30 is the shower hook 22 most. When the shower hook 22 is rotated so as to be positioned upward and the holding portion 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20, it is located in front of the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is made rotatable, the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 becomes an obstacle, and the shower head 14 held by the holding portion 30 becomes difficult to grasp. It can be suppressed.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the holding portion 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the wash counter 12 when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position, it is possible to prevent the shower hook 22 from interfering with the work such as washing the hair and washing the body of the standing user. Therefore, it is possible to provide the bathroom 2 in which the water discharged from the shower head 14 can be more comfortably bathed regardless of whether the user is sitting on a chair or standing up.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, when the holding portion 30 rotates the shower hook 22 so that the shower hook 22 is positioned at the uppermost position and the holding portion 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20. In addition, it is located behind the front end 12b of the washbasin counter 12. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is made rotatable, it is possible to more reliably prevent the shower hook 22 from interfering with the work such as washing the hair and washing the body of the standing user.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the holding portion 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the wash counter 12 even when the shower hook 22 is positioned at the lowest position, so that the shower hook 22 is a chair or the like. It is also possible to prevent the user sitting on the chair from getting in the way of washing the hair and washing the body.
