Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] For bedridden old people and people with disabilities,
Providing a safe and comfortable bath. [Structure] An outer wall of a bathtub and an air chamber at the bottom are separated into two parts, respectively, so that expansion and contraction can be performed separately, and these operations can be remotely controlled.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bath for a bedridden old person or a physically handicapped person.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally known baths of this type are vinyl pool-shaped baths and FRP prefabricated baths.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventional baths of this type have a problem that it is difficult for a caregiver to take a bath when one person takes a bath, and when a caregiver is needed.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the bath of the present invention has an outer wall and an air chamber at the bottom which are each divided into two parts so that they can be individually expanded and contracted. Furthermore, the operation of expanding and contracting those air chambers and the operation of water supply and drainage can be performed by remote control.

[0005]

[Action]

 A bather enters by inflating one air chamber on the outer wall, and then the other outer wall is inflated to add hot water. If the body is to be turned sideways while bathing, inflate only one of the bottom air chambers.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The outer wall of the bathtub and the air chamber at the bottom are separated into two parts so that they can be expanded and contracted separately. When using this with the above structure, first inflate only one air chamber on the outer wall and enter it from the other side, then inflate the other air chamber and then add hot water. . If you want to go out, first drain the hot water, then shrink only one outer wall and go out. If you are lying sideways while bathing, inflate the bottom air chamber, which is on your back side. In the case of reversing the direction, the air chamber on the side that is currently expanding is contracted and the air chamber on the opposite side is expanded. Expansion and contraction of these air chambers and the putting in and out of hot water are performed by the bather himself or a caregiver by remote control.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 By using the bath of the present invention, even a person with a lower body can take a bath safely without any difficulty. Even if a caregiver is needed, the caregiver can bathe alone. Rolling over the body while bathing can be done easily by the bather himself or by a caregiver.
