Adjustable tilt angle (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-233802) and a bathtub for bathing in a supine position divided into a head washing tank and a body washing section (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-26863). , The pillow part is raised in the bathtub to be bathed in a recumbent state and is divided into the bathtub part and the hair washing bath part, or the pillow part and at least part of the peripheral wall part in the hair washing bath Other techniques of a body bath tub are known, such as those formed lower than the portion (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-38287 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-11949).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-233802, which is described in the related art, the weight of the head is applied to the pillow to adjust the inclination angle of the backrest, so that it is impossible for the care recipient to change the posture. However, the jack device itself has a complicated structure and is rather expensive. Also, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 26863/1992, since there is no pillow, it is not possible for both the caregiver and caregiver to comfortably wash the head of the hair for a long time, and the body is bathed in the supine state. There is anxiety such as floating up or slipping into the bathtub. Furthermore, in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. S50-38287 and Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 63-11949, the bath is made in a supine state, so that the body may float, or the user may feel anxious about slipping into the bathtub. In particular, when washing the back or buttocks, it is necessary to turn the body to the side while lying down, and it is difficult to perform a stable bathing and washing work for the cared person during bathing and hair washing. In addition, there is a problem in that the hair-washing bath that integrally projects from the bathtub hinders the utilization of the room. Further, in each of the conventional examples described above, since the water supply / drainage pump is separately arranged, there is a problem that hot water supply from a general domestic bathtub cannot be used.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above existing circumstances, and does not force the care recipient to change his / her posture while taking a bath and keeps the body floating. The care-taker can take a bath and wash his / her hair in a comfortable posture without feeling anxious about slipping into the bathtub or slipping into the bathtub. It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive nursing bath with a simple structure that solves the drawbacks of hindering the utilization of water and not being able to use hot water in a general domestic bath.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]
