  With the technology (Patent Document 1) that makes it possible for a bedridden patient to take a bath while stabilizing her body in hot water, it is difficult to say that the patient takes a bath and the caregiver's position is exceptionally considered. There is a grudge lacking in the point of view that it can truly satisfy the needs of the caregiver and can perform the work of the caregiver efficiently.

  In the case of the technique (Patent Document 2) in which the whole is provided with a predetermined height by the tank wall formed around the bathtub after air filling, the height is further increased when the bathtub is placed on a bed having a height, for example. This is not suitable for use in such a case, and there is a concern that it is difficult to secure a space enough for the bather's whole body to be sufficiently immersed in warm water because the tank wall is located higher than the bottom of the bed. In addition, there is a problem that it is not easy to lay a bather in a high tub.

  Unlike the conventional technology, the present invention can feel the ease and exhilaration of sick people, persons with disabilities, elderly people, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “baths”) entering a normal bathtub, Etc. (hereinafter referred to as “caregiver”), helped bathers to wash their bodies thoroughly and bathers were able to immerse their bodies in hot water at the proper temperature so that they could keep the bathing according to their physical condition. It aims to provide a mobile bathtub.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a mobile bathtub in which air is injected to form a bathtub with the entire periphery being a three-dimensional enclosure from a flat shape, and hot water can be filled inside the bathtub, An air-filled removable hair-washing pillow with a bulging rim on the head side of the bathtub, a heater that can form a drain at the bottom of the bathtub opposite to the head side, and can be adjusted in temperature inside the bathtub, and The main purpose is to provide a jacuzzi and install a detachable water splash prevention plate along the longitudinal direction of one side of the surrounding portion.

  The heater is a throw-in heater, and can be placed at a proper location in the bathtub.

  The water splash prevention plate is air-injected and can be folded compactly when air is released.

  It is characterized by disposing an inflatable pillow-shaped bag body in the bathtub so as to be freely accessible.

  By placing a hair-washing pillow inside the bathtub, the caregiver can easily wash the bather's head as if starting at the beauty salon, while the bather can also wash the hair in the caregiver's hand with a comfortable posture. It can be entrusted and both bathing and shampooing can be done sleeping. Of course, the hair-washing pillow can be used as a normal pillow when inverted.

  During bathing, water from the shower or tap can be sufficiently filled into the bathtub, and hot water can be kept at an appropriate temperature by using a heater that can adjust the temperature in the bathtub. In addition, a jacuzzi installed inside the bathtub can be used to create a massage effect on the whole body of the bather by lathering soap, for example, to give an unprecedented refreshing feeling, and the body can be thoroughly washed and hygienic. The top is also extremely effective, and furthermore, you can finish with running water by taking a shower while stopping the jacuzzi and draining, and you can enjoy a bath life that makes you feel comfortable and healthy.

  Since a water splash prevention plate is installed along the longitudinal direction of one side of the go part, when the caregiver is located on the opposite side of the water splash prevention plate and bathing assistance and washing the hair, the hot water in the bathtub is scattered outside. Therefore, bathing assistance can be performed in the room or on the bed with peace of mind.

  Bathtubs, hair-washing pillows, water splash prevention plates, etc. are air-injected so they can be folded flat when the air is removed and can be moved anywhere by hand. In addition, when installing the bathtub on the bed, if it is flattened in a sheet shape, the patient on the bed can move just by sliding and the patient will automatically lie in the bathtub after injecting air. The patient can be bathed without requiring excessive effort to move the patient.

  When a pillow-shaped bag body is installed in the bathtub, the movement of the bather can be controlled, the comfortable posture desired by the bather can be maintained, and the posture of the bather can be stabilized, thereby facilitating the caregiver's work.

  The embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the bathtub 1 is made of a material such as vinyl / synthetic rubber which is strong and elastic enough, and has a sufficiently high circumference. It is the go part 2 having a moderate width and rounded. The bathtub 1 has a size that is suitable for an adult to lie down, and has a vertical dimension of 190 to 200 cm and a height of about 35 cm. The figure shows the completed state after air injection, but after the air injection, the whole is in a flat sheet state and can be folded, so it is convenient to move because it becomes a compact shape that can be stored in a travel bag, After the air is injected, the peripheral portion bulges and rises, so that the surrounding portion 2 is formed. A sufficient space can be secured in the bathtub 1 for supplying sufficient hot water. Air is sent from an air injection part 3 at the bottom of the bathtub 1 using an air pump.

  A detachable hair-washing pillow 4 is arranged inside the head side (left side in the figure) of the bathtub 1. The hair-washing pillow 4 has a size that fits in the width direction of the bathtub 1, and is formed in an air-filled type with a height of about 20 cm when the peripheral edge bulges and rises, and the central neck 4a is slightly recessed. . Of course, it can be used as a normal pillow when it is flipped because it has a bottom, and there is no worry that the head will slip even if the bather rolls over and changes position after turning over. In addition, it can be folded compactly because it has a flat shape when air is removed.

  The drain port 5 is formed on the head side of the bathtub 1, that is, on the bottom of the foot side opposite to the hair-washing pillow 4, and is normally closed by a lid. In order to improve drainage, the foot side bottom portion is formed slightly lower than the head side, and the foot side corner jacuzzi 10 is installed.

  A heater 6 capable of adjusting the temperature is disposed in the bathtub 1. Although the heater 6 can be fixed inside the bathtub 1, it is preferable to use a so-called throw-in heater because it can be placed at any location that does not obstruct the bather's physique and posture. When the heater 6 is provided, the hot water filled in the bathtub 1 is kept at an appropriate temperature, which helps to prevent the bather from being cooled due to a decrease in the water temperature. Since the water level of the hot water is at most about half the height of the bathtub 1, a commercially available heater 6 having an adjustment function of 38 ° C. to 43 ° C. at 100V can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the jacuzzi tool 10 is equipped with a pump 11 with a blade, and a hair catcher 14 is provided from the suction port 12 at the lower end to prevent dirt such as hair and dust from entering. One end of a cord 15 serving as a power source is attached to the pump 11, and water entering from the suction port 12 is spouted from the discharge part 13 by the rotation of the pump 11 to exert a massage function for a bather. In order to eject hot water from the discharge unit 13 with vigor, a separate air supply 16 is connected to the base of the discharge unit 13. The jacuzzi tool 10 can also be used when the used hot water in the hair washing pillow 4 is discharged.

  A water splash preventing plate 7 that is detachable along the longitudinal direction on one side is installed in the surrounding portion 2. The water splash prevention plate 7 is also air-filled like the hair-washing pillow 4 and can be folded compactly with a flat sheet-like material before filling, and has an appropriate thickness and stands on the surrounding portion 2 after filling with air. Is done. Although not shown in the figure, there is an engaging tool that matches each other at the close contact portion between the surrounding portion 2 and the water splash preventing plate 7, and the water splash preventing plate 7 is fixed along the surrounding portion 2 by this engaging tool. Since the joint is detachable, the water splash prevention plate 7 can be removed from the surrounding portion 2.

  A dakimakura-shaped bag 20 is provided in the bathtub 1 as required as shown in FIG. This bag 20 is air-injected and elastic, and is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1. When the bag 20 is placed in the bathtub 1, the lateral space in the tank 1 is reduced accordingly. Can be fixed.

  The mobile tub of this invention is different from a normal bathtub, and the hot water is about half the height of the tub 1, so it not only sinks the whole body in hot water, but also works to wash away dirt by lathering soap in Western style. Basically, most of it is left to the caregiver's hands, so bathers with physical disabilities do not need to move themselves. In other words, conventional care baths only run hot water from the shower over the bather and ended with only the work of wiping away the dirt on the body, so there was an aspect that the enjoyment of bathing and healing of the mind and body could not be obtained However, according to the present invention, the head can be placed on the hair-washing pillow 4 and the whole body can be laid down in the bathtub 1 to maintain a relaxed posture. Then, submerge your body in warm water, dissolve foam soap in warm water, get a massage effect with warm water foamed in the jacuzzi 10, and then thoroughly wash away foam attached to your whole body with a shower. Can be wiped off. Since the hot water is maintained by the heater 6, it can maintain an integrated state according to the bather, and it can be a refreshing hot water bath from the beginning to the end. In the case of drainage, a hose can be connected to the drainage port 5 and the treated water can be fed into the household drainage port by a motor or the like.

  When washing the body, the water splash prevention plate 7 is usually set up on the surrounding portion 2, but the caregiver is naturally positioned on the opposite side of the water splash prevention plate 7 as shown in FIG. Even if a shower or the like is used on the way, the splash is not splashed to the outside by the water splash prevention plate 7, and the assistance work in the room or on the bed can be performed with confidence. Since the bathtub 1 is a sheet-like material before air injection, it can be laid on the bed in advance, and if the patient is put on it and the air is injected, the bathtub 1 is formed in about 2 minutes. A bedridden elderly person can lie in the bathtub 1 without difficulty.

  If the pillow-shaped bag body 20 is placed in the bathtub as needed during work, it may be more convenient for some bathers to fix a part of the body. In addition, the caregiver has the advantage that the body of the bather does not become unstable and the work becomes easier.

  As described above, the present invention is a bathtub from the viewpoint of a bather and provides a bathtub that is truly convenient for caregivers. The size of the bathtub 1 and the jacuzzi in the above-described embodiment The configuration of the 10 shapes is an example, and the shape and the like can be arbitrarily changed within the range where the object and effect of the present invention are achieved, and as a temporary bath for emergency as well as for nursing care, or an infant and parent's family Although it can use for uses, such as a bath, these also belong to the free implementation scope of this invention.
