Description

  The present invention relates to a bath lid with a handle in which a plurality of hollow long members arranged in parallel are provided with a handle on a bath lid body of a shutter type or the like connected via a flexible connecting member.

  The so-called shutter-type bath lid has a structure in which a large number of hollow rod-shaped bodies made of an extruded product of a hard synthetic resin are connected in parallel through a flexible synthetic resin belt-like connecting material. In addition, the lid of the bathtub can be easily opened and closed by winding and unfolding, and there is an advantage that it can be placed beside the bathtub or standing in the corner of the bathroom in a compact winding state when not in use. Moreover, in order to make opening / closing operation easy, attaching a handle to one end of the bath lid body has also been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

  By the way, in recent years, there is a tendency that a bathtub with a wide opening is preferred, and a long bath lid is required.

As the bath lid becomes longer, it becomes heavier and requires more labor and effort to open and close. Moreover, in a state of being rolled up, the diameter becomes large and bulky, and it takes a place for standing. Therefore, there are also proposed bath lids that can be made into a set of two lids to make each bath lid smaller and lighter, or a hollow rod-like body connected to be folded in different directions every few, and folded in a folding screen flatly. (See Patent Document 3).

  However, when the lid is assembled, the individual lids are reduced in size and weight and are easy to handle. However, it is necessary to open and close for two sheets. Moreover, since the folding bath lid described in Patent Document 3 is sequentially folded from one end side of the bath lid body, it takes time to open and close.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a bath lid with a handle that can be easily opened and closed even in a shutter-type bath lid having a long length in view of the above-described situation.

  That is, the bath lid with a handle of the present invention has the following configuration.

<How to use the lid with handle>
When opening the bath lid placed on the edge of the bathtub, hold the handle (30) (40) with both hands and lift the bath lid body (10) to align the two handles (30) (40). The main body (10) is naturally folded in three (see FIG. 10). This tri-folded state is flat rather than rolled round from the end, and is easy to handle without being bulky. Moreover, since the handle (40) at the intermediate portion is attached to a position offset from the center in the width direction of the hollow rod-like body (11b) toward the handle (30) at one end, the two handles (30) (40) If they are aligned, the belt-like connecting member (15) becomes a fold mountain, and the bulkiness at the time of folding can be reduced. By holding the two handles (30) and (40), the three-fold state can be maintained with one hand, so it is easy to stand on the wall or on the hook attached to the wall.

  Even when the bath lid is closed, it is easy to move the folded bath lid onto the bathtub by grasping the two handles.

  The bath lid with a handle of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are allowed without departing from the scope of the utility model registration request.

  For example, the bath lid body has such a length that a bathtub with a wide frontage can be covered with a single bath lid, but application to a short bath lid such as an assembled lid is also optional. Even in a short bath lid body, opening and closing operations can be easily performed by attaching two handles. The shape of the bath lid body is also arbitrary.

  The attachment method of the two handles is not limited at all. The handle at one end can also be attached to an arbitrary position on the hollow rod using a handle-supporting member that does not serve as a closing cap at both ends of the hollow rod. For example, if the portion that closes the end of the hollow rod-shaped body is removed from the handle support cap (20), it can be slid in a state in which the hollow rod-shaped body is accommodated in the accommodating recess (22), and any desired on the hollow rod-shaped body A handle can be attached to the position. Further, the handle at one end can be attached in the same manner as the handle (40) at the intermediate portion using the handle attaching member (50). Further, the handle can be attached by using an adhering means such as an adhesive, a screw, and a rivet.

  Further, the shape of the handle is not limited. In the above embodiment, both ends of the rod-like handle are supported and attached to the bath lid body, but an annular handle may be used. If it is an annular handle, it is possible to attach the handle to the bath lid body while supporting the handle at one location, and any attachment method can be adopted depending on the shape of the handle.

  Since the bath lid with a handle of the present invention can be opened and closed easily even when the length is increased, it can be suitably used for a bathtub with a wide frontage that tends to be preferred in recent years.
