Abstract

The present invention provides an improved tub seat with a floating seat that can sit on a floor with its legs extended and can easily stand up on its own. A floating plate is used for a seat plate portion on which a bather sits, and the buoyancy is used to lift the waist of the bather to raise the position of the knee, thereby facilitating a standing motion. Moreover, the support | pillar which makes it closely_contact | adhere to the side wall of a bathtub and guides a floating plate is stood, and a floating plate is guide | induced in combination with the notch part put into the right and left edge of a floating plate, and a raising / lowering state is stabilized. In order to fix the floating plate that has been lifted, there is enough space for the floating plate to move between the top of the lifting column and the armrest shelf. It is fixed from the three sides of the back wall and the armrest, and the bather does not sink even if he puts his power around his waist to stand up, so the standing up operation becomes stable and easy.

Description

  An improved floating chair that helps people who are in trouble because they are unable to stand up from a sitting position with their legs stretched out in a single tub because their legs and legs are damaged due to injury or aging. It relates to a bathtub.

  Utility model No. 3156773 has a drawback that the tub with a floating chair is not fixed when the floating plate is lifted, and when the bather puts force around the waist, it sinks and becomes unstable.

1. Using the buoyancy of the floating plate, push the waist up to a height where bathers can stand up easily.
2. Stabilizes the floating state of the floating plate.
3. Prevent excessive lifting of the floating plate.
4). Fix the floating plate that has been lifted to stabilize the standing motion of the bather.

1. The float plate may be natural or chemically synthesized, but use a float that pushes the lower body of the bather.
2. A lifting column that guides the floating plate is installed in close contact with the side wall of the bathtub.
3. Make cuts on the left and right edges of the floating plate to combine with the lifting column.
4). In order to prevent the floating plate from being lifted excessively, a stopper that also serves as an armrest will be installed.
5). In order to fix the floating plate, the floating plate can be moved with a gap corresponding to the thickness of the floating plate between the apex of the lifting column and the armrest shelf, and the floating plate also floats on the wall behind the bathtub. Create a shelf-type step with a depth of about 30 mm to support the board.
6). When the floating plate is moved backward, the cut portion of the floating plate is detached from the column, and it is shaped like a bathtub that fixes the floating plate between the top of the column, the step between the rear wall and the armrest shelf.

1. The floating plate used as a seat plate is stable because it moves up and down along the lifting columns installed in the bathtub.
2. When the bather sits on the floating plate, the floating plate descends stably along the lifting column, so that he can sit down to the bottom of the bath with peace of mind, so there is no anxiety when taking a bath and the bath slowly I can soak in.
3. A stopper that also serves as an armrest prevents excessive floating of the floating plate.
4). When the floating plate is pushed backward about 30 mm, the floating plate is fixed from the top of the lifting column, the armrest shelf, and the shelf-supporting step on the rear wall. First of all, it is stable.

1. The floating plate used as the seat plate has a width of about 500 millimeters, a depth of about 400 millimeters, and a thickness of about 40 millimeters, and may be a chemically synthesized product or a natural material.
2. Make cuts on the left and right edges of the floating plate to combine with the lifting column.
3. The width of the bathtub is about 40 mm wider on the left and right sides than the first half, and parallel to the bottom, about 300 mm from the bottom corresponding to the height of the elbow when the bather sits in the bathtub. The length of the armrest shelf is about 40 mm, and the thickness is about 10 mm. The width is the length that reaches the back wall along the side wall of the second half. Built to the left and right, it also serves as a stopper to prevent excessive floating of the floating plate.
4). As a lifting column for the floating plate that stabilizes and guides the lifting state of the floating plate, the thickness of the shape that sticks to the side wall at a position about 200 mm away from the rear wall that hits the back of the bather and protrudes into a convex shape A column with about 30 mm on each side and a height of about 260 mm from the bottom is raised.
5). A clearance of about 40 mm is provided so that the floating plate can move between the apex of the lifting column's lifting column and the armrest shelf, and the back wall of the bather's back is about 30 mm deep. Is placed at the same height as the top of the column, and when the bather pushes the floating plate, which is guided by the lifting column, about 30 millimeters backward and moves in parallel, the notch of the floating plate comes off the column, It is fixed between the top of the column and the step on the rear wall and the armrest shelf. To release the fixed state of the floating plate, the pushed floating plate may be pulled back to the original position.

    This will be described with reference to the following drawings.

  In the sectional view of the side wall of the present invention, the floating plate is lifted up to the armrest shelf that also serves as a stopper, and shows a state where it is pushed and fixed in the gap between the armrest and the top of the column and the step on the rear wall. The bathers are omitted.   It is a side wall partial sectional view showing the state where the floating board of the present invention is sinking to the bottom, and the bather is omitted.   FIG. 2 is a plan view of a structure before mounting the floating plate of the present invention, and shows the positional relationship between a shelf for armrests, a column for lifting and lowering the floating plate, and a step attached to the rear wall.   It is a top view of the floating board used for this invention, and shows the position of the notch combined with the lifting column.   It is a three-dimensional view showing the shape of the entire bathtub, and the floating plate is omitted.

Claims (1)

The present invention uses the buoyancy of the floating plate used as a seat plate to lift the waist of the bather and fix the floating plate so that it does not sink, making it easier for bathers with leg and leg problems to stand up In a bathtub with a floating chair, the floating plate may be a chemically synthesized or natural material having a width of about 500 mm, a depth of about 400 mm, and a thickness of about 40 mm. A notch is made, the width of the bathtub is made wider by about 40 mm on the left and right sides than the first half, and the bather is about 300 mm from the bottom corresponding to the height at which he can put his elbow when sitting in the bathtub. An elbow that is long in parallel to the bottom and reaches the rear wall along the side wall of the rear half, and the width is about 40 mm corresponding to the widened side wall of the rear half, and the thickness is about 10 mm. The shelf is used as a stopper to prevent the floating plate from rising excessively by making it to the left and right, and as the lifting column of the floating plate that stabilizes and guides the floating state of the floating plate, it is about 200 mm away from the wall behind the bather's back A column with a thickness of about 30 mm on each side and a height of about 260 mm from the bottom is set up so that it sticks to the side wall of the position and protrudes into a convex shape, and floats between the top of the column and the armrest shelf. Leave a gap of about 40 mm so that the plate can move, and place a shelf-like step with a depth of about 30 mm on the back wall where the back of the bather hits, at the same height as the top of the column, When the bather pushes the guided floating plate about 30 millimeters backward and translates it, the incised part of the floating plate comes off the column, and the top of the column, the step on the rear wall, and the armrest shelf Even if the bather puts a force around his waist trying to stand up, the floating plate does not sink, and when the bather sits and pulls the floating plate forward, the floating plate is released and the lifting column is released. The bath can be used with peace of mind even for bathers with disabilities.
