b) Even if the insertion groove of the bathtub is a vertical groove, if the insertion part of the back plate is inserted into the insertion groove, the backrest part is inclined backwards, so that the bather can use it easily and the insertion groove of the bathtub It is not necessary to take a manufacturing method that greatly reduces the productivity such as tilting.
c) Since the surface plate of the back plate is reinforced with ribs and the rigidity can be kept high, a single surface plate can be made lightweight as a main material, and the caregiver's labor can also be reduced.
According to the second invention, if the holding band is passed through the band of the back plate and then the band is turned around the bather's chest and the back plate is fixed, the bather will not slide down in the bathtub. Yes, it can reduce the labor of care.

It is a top view of bathtub equipment concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is the II-II sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a front view of a back board. (A) is a top view of a back board, (B) is a side view of a back board. It is insertion position explanatory drawing of a backplate. It is use condition explanatory drawing of the bathtub equipment of this invention. It is use condition explanatory drawing using the holding | maintenance band in the bathtub equipment of this invention.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The bathtub installation of the present invention is composed of a bathtub 1 and a back plate 10.

First, the structure of the bathtub 1 is demonstrated based on FIG. 1 and FIG.
The bathtub 1 is a box-shaped bathtub composed of left and right side walls 2, 2, a front wall 3, a rear wall 4, and a bottom plate 5 in the same manner as a normal bathtub. The rising angles of the side wall 2, the front wall 3, and the rear wall 4 have a slight inclination angle as in a normal bathtub, but are substantially vertical. The material is a known resin material.

Overhang portions 6 and 6 projecting slightly inward are formed at positions near the front wall 3 from the middle position in the front-rear direction on the left and right side walls 2 and 2. The height of the overhanging portions 6 and 6 is approximately half the height of the side walls 2 and 2.
A vertical longitudinal groove 7 is formed in the projecting portions 6 and 6. The vertical groove 7 is a groove for inserting and fixing a back plate 10 described later. It is preferable to form the vertical grooves 7 vertically because the entire bathtub 1 is easily formed by hand lay-up method or the like.

  The number of the vertical grooves 7 is three in the illustrated embodiment, but may be four or more, or may be two or less. As will be described later, by selecting the position of the longitudinal groove 7 into which the back plate 10 is inserted, it is possible to match the physique of the bather. Therefore, up to 6 is suitable.

Next, the back plate 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
The back plate 10 includes a backrest portion 11 that supports the waist from the back of the bather, and insertion portions 12 and 12 that protrude laterally at the lower portion of the backrest portion 11. The back plate 10 is made of a known resin material and is integrally formed by the RTM method or the like.

  The back plate 10 has a single surface plate 13 that forms a backrest portion 11 and an insertion portion 12, and the surface plate 13 is formed with horizontally long holes 14, round holes 15, and the like at appropriate positions. ing. Further, ribs 16 projecting rearward from the outer edge of the surface plate 13 are formed, and ribs 17 projecting rearward from the outer edges of the holes 14 and 15 are integrally formed. Thus, since the surface plate 13 of the back plate 10 is reinforced by the ribs 16 and 17 and the rigidity can be kept high, the single-surface surface plate 13 can be made lightweight as a main material. For this reason, caregiver's labor can also be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 4, the backrest portion 11 is inclined backward with respect to the insertion portion 12. The inclination angle θ is suitably 5 to 8th. Thus, since the back board 10 inclines backward, it does not press an abdomen when it becomes a sitting bath posture. For this reason, bathers can be made easier and caregivers can be saved from having to sit down again.
Moreover, even if the vertical groove 7 of the bathtub 1 is a vertical groove, when the insertion part 12 of the back plate 10 is inserted into the vertical groove 7, the backrest part 11 is inclined backward, so that the bather can use it easily. Therefore, it is not necessary to take a manufacturing method that greatly reduces the productivity of inclining the vertical groove for inserting the bathtub.

Next, a method of using the bathing facility of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The back plate 10 can be inserted into any of the three longitudinal grooves 7, and the back plate 10 can be inserted and fixed at any position indicated by I, II, III in the figure according to the physique of the bather. it can.
If the longitudinal grooves 7 are selected in this way and the back plate 10 is inserted, the distance between the rear wall 4 of the bathtub 1 and the back plate 10 can be variably adjusted, as shown in FIG. Since the bather H can lean his back against the back plate 10 and press his / her foot against the rear wall 4, the bather H can take a bath in a stable posture.

Below, based on FIG. 7, the usage method of the bathing equipment of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.
The back plate 10 of the second embodiment is provided with a band pass 21 through which a holding band B for holding a bather is passed. Passing the holding band B through the banding 21 of the back plate 10 and then turning the band B around the bather's chest to fix the back plate 10 is safe because the bather will not slide down in the bathtub 1. , Care effort can be reduced.
