A shower device 42 is provided at a corner formed by the one side surface portion 4 and the rear surface portion 3. At the corner formed by the other side surface portion 5 and the rear surface portion 3, a table 44 for accessory storage is provided.

Further, an exhaust pipe 39 for ventilation is provided in the ceiling 6, and a ventilation fan 38 is mounted in the exhaust pipe 39. The floor 7 is provided with a drain port 35 and a drain pipe 36 connected to the drain port 35.

When the door 10 has the protruding portion (door surface 11a) of the door plate 11 facing the inside of the shower room 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a recess formed on the back surface 11b of the door plate. A cabinet 50 is accommodated in the office. The outer surface of the cabinet 50 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape. That is, the back (rear) of the cabinet 50
Has a convex shape corresponding to the shape of the door plate back surface 11b so that when the cabinet 50 is stored, no gap is formed between the door 50 and the door plate 11.

At the lower part of the cabinet 50, front legs 55, 55 having wheels 55a, 55a at the front end on the left and right of the front end.
Are provided, and wheels 56a,
A rear leg 56 having a leading end 56a is provided.
The front leg 55 is fixed and the rear leg 56
Is a bending type that rotates around a fulcrum 56b at the base end portion of the rear leg 56. Further, an auxiliary wheel 57 that supports the weight of the cabinet 50 when the rear leg 56 is bent is provided at the base end of the rear leg 56.

In addition, on the bottom plate portion 15 of the door 10, FIG.

Next, the door 10 is rotated by putting a hand on the handle 30. When the door 10 is rotated by about 90 degrees, the door 10 is temporarily stopped, and the user moves onto the floor 7 from the opened entrance 2. Then, the door 10 is further rotated by 90 degrees, and the shower room 1 is closed. At this time, the door 10 is in a state where the door plate 11 protrudes outward, and the inside of the shower room 1 has a sufficient size. Further, since the inlet portion 2 is sealed by the seal portion 31 as shown in FIG. 3, water does not leak to the outside. In addition, a sealing material is interposed between the top plate 13 and the ceiling 6 and between the bottom plate 15 and the floor 7, so that water leakage does not occur.

While the shower room 1 is in use, the ventilation fan 38
Operates to ventilate the air in the shower room 1. Also,
The cleaning water used in the shower room 1 is drained from a drain port 35 through a drain pipe 36.

When the use of the shower room 1 is completed, the user turns the door 10 while riding on the floor 7 and
At the time when the door 10 has been rotated by about one degree, it exits the shower room 1 from the entrance part 1 and the door 10 is further rotated by 90 degrees to return to the state shown in FIG. And the auxiliary wheels 5 of the cabinet 50
7 and 57 are aligned with the guide rails 60 and 60 of the bottom plate 15, and the cabinet 50 is pushed onto the bottom plate 15. At this time, the rear leg portions 56 are accommodated while being bent.

Embodiment 2 Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The description of the same parts as in the first embodiment is omitted.

In the second embodiment, the shower room structure of the first embodiment is provided with a toilet. Further, the cabinet is connected to the shower room 1. As shown in FIG. 6, a fitting toilet 80 is installed on the floor 7. In a normal state, a lid 81 which is flush with the floor 7 is provided above the toilet bowl 80. Then, when using the toilet 80, the user removes the lid 81 and excretes the toilet 80. The excrement in the toilet bowl 80 is discharged from the drainage pipe 88 to an external drainage main pipe by the operation of the drainage pump 85.

The cabinet 90 of the second embodiment is
One end of the cabinet 90 is connected to a connecting rod 93 so as to be rotatable about a hinge 90a. This connecting rod 9
3 is attached so as to be able to slide in a guide groove 98 formed in the side wall portion 8.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the shower room 1 is not used, the door plate 11 protruding from the door 10
Is turned toward the inside of the shower room 1, so that the shower room 1 can be made compact. Further, the cabinet 50 (90) can be accommodated in the recess on the door plate 11b side.
Furthermore, when the shower room 1 is used, since the door plate 11 from which the door 10 protrudes goes out of the shower room 1, the shower room can be made sufficiently large.

Therefore, a limited space such as a hospital room can be effectively used. In this embodiment, the door 10 is manually rotated, but a motor may be provided to automatically rotate the door 10.
