Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to an improvement in a bathtub, and more particularly to a bathtub provided with a handle which is an auxiliary tool for bathers.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as an auxiliary tool for preventing a fall in a bathtub, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a grip bar B attached to a bathroom wall surface A. The bather C generally moves into and out of the washing room E from within the bathtub D, holding the grip bar B with one hand and the upper edge surface Da of the bathtub D with the other hand.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The entire upper edge surface Da of the bathtub D is formed as a flat surface, which makes it very difficult to hold and may slip because it is wet. For this reason, an elderly person or a physically handicapped person who has weak gripping strength stands up in the bathtub D by grasping the gripping bar B with both hands. However, holding the grip bar B with both hands and standing up in the bathtub causes an unreasonable posture and causes a pain in the lower back and the like. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub with a handle in which the upper edge surface of the bathtub can be easily held.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The first means adopted by the bathtub with a handle according to the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as "the bathtub of the present invention") is an upper edge wall hanging from the outside of an upper horizontal wall of the bathtub along the longitudinal direction of the upper edge wall. In a bathtub with a handle provided with a handle, a bracket is attached to the outer surface of the upper edge wall, a mounting piece is formed on the bracket, and the handle is mounted on the mounting piece. That is, the holding piece and the handle are fastened with screws. The second means adopted by the present invention bathtub is a bathtub with a handle in which a handle is attached to an upper edge wall hanging from the outside of an upper horizontal wall in the bathtub along the longitudinal direction of the upper edge wall. A bracket is attached to the outer side surface, and the bracket has an upper sloping piece and a lower mounting piece.
The raised slanting piece is fitted into the slanting groove recessed in the handle,
The lower surface of the handle is placed on the placing piece portion, and the placing piece portion and the handle are fastened with screws.

[Action]

With the first and second means of the proposed bathtub, since the fingertip can be hooked on the lower surface of the handle attached to the upper edge wall hanging from the outside of the upper horizontal wall in the bathtub, the upper edge surface of the bathtub is gripped. You can definitely hold it in this way. Therefore, even an elderly person or a physically handicapped person who has a weak grip can hold the upper edge surface of the bathtub with the sensation of gripping the grip bar. According to the first means of the proposed bath, since the mounting piece and the grip are fastened with a screw in a state where the grip is mounted on the mounting piece of the bracket, the grip is securely attached to the bracket. . Further, in the second means of the bathtub of the present invention, since the handle is connected to the upper inclined piece portion and the lower mounting piece portion of the bracket, the handle is attached to the bracket more reliably.

【Example】

Hereinafter, the bathtub of the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. (First Embodiment) FIGS. 1 (A) and (B) show a bathtub 11 of the present invention in a first embodiment. The bath tub 11 according to the present invention has an upper edge wall 12b which is appropriately hung from the outside of an upper horizontal wall 12a in a bath body 12 and has a handle 13 in the entire lengthwise direction of the upper edge wall 12b or in an arbitrary area.
Is attached. To attach the handle 13, a bracket 16 made of an angle member that is long along the upper edge wall 12b is fixed to the upper edge wall 12b with an appropriate number of screws 15, and the recess 13 is provided in the handle 13 so that the bracket 16 is mounted. Fit the handle 13 on the piece 16a,
The handle 13 and the mounting piece portion 16a are fastened together with an appropriate number of screws 17. The handle 13 is formed of a synthetic resin or a metal material into a rod shape, and the outer surface thereof is formed in a semicircular shape so that a fingertip can be easily hooked on the lower surface. The handle 13 is designed to prevent bruising of the bather.
A flexible structure may be used on the surface. Further, the bath body 12 may be integrally formed with the apron and the floor pan. (Second Embodiment) FIGS. 2A and 2B show a bathtub 21 of the present invention according to a second embodiment. In the bath tub 21 of the present invention, a handle 23 is attached to an upper edge wall 12b of the bath tub body 12 that is appropriately hung from the outside of the upper horizontal wall 12a along the longitudinal direction of the upper edge wall 12b. To attach the handle 23, a bracket 26 that is long along the upper edge wall 12b is fixed to the upper edge wall 12b with an appropriate number of screws 15, and then the handle 2
The recessed groove 3 is formed on the bracket 26, and the inclined groove 24 is fitted into the raised inclined piece portion 26a of the upper portion of the bracket 26, and the lower surface step portion 23b of the handle 23 is placed on the placing piece portion 26b below the bracket 26, and The mounting piece portion 26b is fastened with an appropriate number of screws 17. In the handle 23, the wedge portion 23i forming the inclined groove 24 bites into the delta concave portion 29 formed by the raised inclined portion portion 26a of the bracket 26 and the upper edge wall 12b, so that the wedge portion 23i with respect to the upper edge wall 12b. It can be installed securely. The handle 23 is designed to prevent bruising of the bather.
A flexible structure may be used on the surface. Further, the bath body 12 may be integrally formed with the apron and the floor pan.

[Effect of device]

As described in detail above, the bathtub of the present invention can be surely held by grasping the upper edge of the bathtub by hooking the fingertip at a suitable position on the handle, so that even if the elderly or the physically handicapped have a weak grip, the grip bar can be used. It is possible to hold the upper edge of the bathtub with the feeling of gripping.
As a result, the bathtub of the present invention has a practical effect of providing a bathtub that can stand up in the bathtub without taking an unreasonable posture while holding the upper edge surface of the bathtub. Further, in the proposed bathtub, the handle can be securely attached to the bracket attached to the outer surface of the bathtub, and a safe bathtub in which the handle does not drop can be provided.
