Description

本発明は、浴槽内に出入りするのを補助する入浴用補助具のクランプ機構に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a clamp mechanism for a bathing aid that assists in and out of a bathtub.

高齢者や足腰の弱った人等が浴槽に入る際に浴槽への出入りを補助するために、回転椅子や手摺が取り付けられた入浴用補助具を浴槽の側壁に取り付けることはよく知られている。例えば、特許文献1には、浴槽の側壁を狭持可能なクランプ機構の上部に手摺が取り付けられた入浴用補助具の発明が記載されている。また、特許文献2には、浴槽の側壁を狭持可能なクランプ機構の上部に座板を回動自在に設け、該座板に背もたれを設けた入浴用補助具(浴槽用回転椅子)の発明が記載されている。   It is well known that bathing aids equipped with swivel chairs and handrails are attached to the side walls of the bathtub in order to assist elderly people and people with weak legs in and out of the bathtub. . For example, Patent Document 1 describes an invention of a bathing aid in which a handrail is attached to an upper portion of a clamp mechanism capable of holding a side wall of a bathtub. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses an invention of a bathing auxiliary tool (a bathtub rotary chair) in which a seat plate is rotatably provided on an upper part of a clamp mechanism capable of sandwiching a side wall of a bathtub, and a backrest is provided on the seat plate. Is described.

図13に示すように、特許文献1に示されている手摺が取り付けられた入浴用補助具のクランプ機構80は、浴槽側壁の内面に当接する可動板(狭持部材)81を支持する筒状の可動フレーム82にナット83を取り付け、このナット83に螺合されたネジ部材84をノブ85を操作して回転させることにより、浴槽側壁の内面と上面に当接する固定板(狭持部材)86の側に移動させて締め付け状態にして、浴槽側壁に入浴用補助具を固定することができるものである。なお、87は手摺である。また、特許文献2に示されている回転自在な座板が取り付けられた入浴用補助具(浴槽用回転椅子)のクランプ機構でも、端部に押圧板(狭持部材)が取り付けられたネジ部材を回転させて、押圧板を支持板の側板の側に移動させて締め付け状態にして、浴槽側壁に入浴用補助具を固定することができるものである(特許文献2の図1参照)。   As shown in FIG. 13, the clamping mechanism 80 of the bathing aid provided with the handrail shown in Patent Document 1 is a cylindrical shape that supports a movable plate (clamping member) 81 that contacts the inner surface of the bathtub side wall. By attaching a nut 83 to the movable frame 82 and rotating the screw member 84 screwed to the nut 83 by operating the knob 85, a fixed plate (a sandwiching member) 86 that contacts the inner surface and the upper surface of the bathtub side wall. The bathing aid can be fixed to the side wall of the bathtub. Reference numeral 87 denotes a handrail. Further, even in the clamping mechanism of the auxiliary bathing tool (rotary chair for bathtub) to which the rotatable seat plate shown in Patent Document 2 is attached, the screw member having the pressing plate (clamping member) attached to the end portion And the pressing plate is moved to the side plate side of the support plate to be in a tightened state, and the bathing aid can be fixed to the bathtub side wall (see FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2).

入浴用補助具は、取り付けた状態では、必要としない入浴者には浴槽への出入りに邪魔になるものであり、また、浴槽に蓋ができないから、特許文献1、2に記載された入浴用補助具のように、通常、取り外しできるようになっている。   The bathing aids, when attached, are obstructive to bathers who do not need to enter and exit the bathtub, and because the bathtub cannot be covered, the bathing devices described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 Usually, it can be removed like an auxiliary tool.

入浴補助具を浴槽側壁に取り付ける際には、浴槽側壁の内面と外面に当接することになる狭持部材の間隔は、予め、取り付け時に浴槽側壁を疵付けないように、浴槽側壁の厚み幅よりも大きくして余裕を持たせておかなければならない。
また、通常、狭持部材の表面には、浴槽表面を疵付けないクッション機能のほかに、浴槽表面との摩擦を高めて滑り止めの機能を持たせたライナーが接着されている。このため、狭持部材の間隔に余裕がないと、入浴用補助具の取り付け作業や取り外し作業の途中において、狭持部材の一方または両方が浴槽表面に張り付いて、浴槽側壁の所定の位置に入浴用補助具を配置することができないことや浴槽側壁から入浴用補助具を容易に引き上げられないことがしばしば発生した。
When attaching the bathing aid to the bathtub side wall, the distance between the holding members that will be in contact with the inner surface and the outer surface of the bathtub side wall is determined in advance from the thickness width of the bathtub side wall so that the bathtub side wall will not be brazed during installation. Must be large enough to have room.
In addition, a liner having a non-slip function by increasing friction with the bathtub surface is usually adhered to the surface of the holding member in addition to a cushion function that does not scratch the bathtub surface. For this reason, if there is not enough space between the nipping members, one or both of the nipping members will stick to the bathtub surface in the middle of the attaching or removing operation of the bathing aid, and it will be in a predetermined position on the bathtub side wall. Often, bathing aids could not be placed and bathing aids could not be easily pulled up from the bathtub sidewall.

このようなことから、入浴補助具の取り付け前や取り外し後の入浴補助具のクランプ機構の浴槽側壁の内面と外面に当接することになる狭持部材の間隔は、通常、予め浴槽側壁の厚み幅の1.5〜3倍程度に大きくしている。
このため、従来の入浴用補助具の取り付けにおいては、ネジ部材のノブを数10回も回動させて、狭持部材の間隔を狭めて締め付けを行わねばならず、また、入浴用補助具の取り外しにおいては、同様に、ネジ部材のノブを数10回も逆回動させて、締め付けを解除した後に狭持板の間隔を拡げなければならないので、取り付けあるいは取り外しの作業は、作業者に非常に手間暇が掛かり負担となっていた。
For this reason, the interval between the holding members that come into contact with the inner surface and the outer surface of the bathtub side wall of the clamp mechanism of the bathing auxiliary tool before or after the bathing auxiliary tool is attached is usually the thickness width of the bathtub side wall in advance. About 1.5 to 3 times larger.
For this reason, in attaching conventional bathing aids, the knobs of the screw members must be turned several tens of times to narrow the gap between the holding members and tightening. Similarly, when removing the screw member, the knob of the screw member must be rotated backward several tens of times to release the tightening and then the interval between the holding plates must be widened. It took a lot of time and effort.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a clamp mechanism for a bathing aid will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 12 shows a perspective view of a bathing aid provided with a rotating chair having a rotating seat plate in the clamp mechanism. In this figure, 100 is a clamping mechanism for bathing aids, 200 is a bathtub, and 300 is a bathing aid (swivel chair).

図1および図2には入浴用補助具のクランプ機構100の斜視図を、図3および図4に入浴用補助具のクランプ機構100の側面図および平面図をそれぞれ示す。
1は本体フレームであり、浴槽200の側壁の外面および上面に当接する狭持部材11が取り付けられ固定されている。2は移動側フレームであり、浴槽200の側壁の内面に当接する狭持部材21が取り付けられている。
FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the clamping mechanism 100 for bathing aids, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are a side view and a plan view of the clamping mechanism 100 for bathing aids, respectively.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body frame, to which a holding member 11 that contacts the outer surface and the upper surface of the side wall of the bathtub 200 is attached and fixed. Reference numeral 2 denotes a moving side frame, to which a holding member 21 that contacts the inner surface of the side wall of the bathtub 200 is attached.

図1、図2から分かるように、この実施形態のクランプ機構では、2基の本体フレーム1と2基の移動側フレーム2を備え、2基の本体フレームで共通の1つの狭持部材11を支持し、2基の移動側フレーム2のそれぞれが1つの狭持部材21を支持している。
回転椅子の回転座板をクランプ機構に設置する場合、1基の本体フレーム上よりも2基の本体フレーム上に回転座板を設置する方が安定して設置することができる。なお、本体フレームが1基でも、幅広の本体フレームを使用することにより、回転座板を載置することが可能であることは特許文献2にすでに示されている(特許文献2の図2参照)。
As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the clamp mechanism of this embodiment includes two main body frames 1 and two moving-side frames 2, and includes a single holding member 11 common to the two main body frames. Each of the two moving side frames 2 supports one holding member 21.
When the rotating seat plate of the swivel chair is installed in the clamp mechanism, the rotating seat plate can be installed more stably on the two main body frames than on the one main body frame. It has already been shown in Patent Document 2 that even if there is only one main body frame, it is possible to place a rotating seat plate by using a wide main body frame (see FIG. 2 of Patent Document 2). ).

2基の本体フレームの上に入浴用補助具として回転椅子を取り付ける場合、回転椅子の座板が基台(ともに図示省略)を介して取り付けられることになる(図12参照)。基台は、図1や図2から分かるように、本体フレーム1の屋根部1aに形成されたが孔(図面番号なし)にネジなどにより固定される。この実施形態では、各本体フレーム1の2個所に孔が穿設され、計4個所の孔でネジ止め固定されることになる。なお、基台と座板の間には、ベアリングを挿入して、椅子が回転自在に回転することができる。このような回転機構は周知の技術である。また、この回転機構に回転ロック手段や回転範囲規制手段を設けることも周知である。   When a swivel chair is attached as a bathing aid on the two main body frames, the seat of the swivel chair is attached via a base (both not shown) (see FIG. 12). As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the base is formed in the roof portion 1 a of the main body frame 1, but is fixed to a hole (no drawing number) with a screw or the like. In this embodiment, holes are drilled at two locations of each main body frame 1 and are fixed by screws with a total of four holes. In addition, a bearing can be inserted between a base and a seat board, and a chair can rotate freely. Such a rotation mechanism is a well-known technique. It is also well known that the rotation mechanism is provided with a rotation lock unit and a rotation range regulating unit.

本体フレーム1は、とりわけ図5から分かるように、断面が略コ字状(略コ字の開放側が下に向いている)の部位とこれと一体的に連なる断面が略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位を有し、上部に屋根部1aが形成されている。そして、断面が略コ字状の部位の2つの側辺部には、2つの三角形の板材からなる垂下部1bが一体的に形成されている。   As can be seen from FIG. 5 in particular, the main body frame 1 has a substantially U-shaped cross section (substantially the open side of the U shape faces downward) and a cross section that is integrally connected to the part. The roof part 1a is formed in the upper part. And the drooping part 1b which consists of two triangular board | plate materials is integrally formed in the two side parts of a site | part with a substantially U-shaped cross section.

また、断面が略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の2つの側辺部は、一方は他方よりも高さ(縦の長さ)が短くなって、屋根部1aとともに、略Гの断面を形成している。こうすることで、後述するように、移動側フレーム2に設けられるガイド4やレバー5、バネ6が本体フレーム1に沿って移動できるようになっている。
図1、図2では、2基の本体フレーム1の断面略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の2つの側辺部のうちの高さの長い方の側辺部がいずれも内側(2基の本体フレーム1の間)に向いている。
In addition, the two side portions of the portion having a substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped cross section are shorter in height (vertical length) than the other, and form a substantially Γ cross section together with the roof portion 1a. doing. By doing so, the guide 4, the lever 5, and the spring 6 provided on the moving side frame 2 can move along the main body frame 1 as will be described later.
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the longer side part of the two side parts of the part of the two main body frames 1 having a substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped cross section is on the inner side (two sets). (Between the main body frame 1).

本体フレーム1の一方の端部(断面が略コ字状部位側の端部)は、図5から分かるように、孔(図面番号なし)が形成された板状体でふさがれており、この孔に後述する、頭部にノブ(摘み)を有するネジ部材3のネジ軸部31が挿入される。   As can be seen from FIG. 5, one end of the body frame 1 (the end on the side of the substantially U-shaped section) is blocked by a plate-like body in which holes (no drawing numbers) are formed. A screw shaft portion 31 of a screw member 3 having a knob (knob) at the head, which will be described later, is inserted into the hole.

本体フレーム1には狭持部材11が取り付けられ固定されている。狭持部材11は、図1〜3から分かるように、断面が略逆L字状のフレーム材からなり、略逆L字状を形成する2つの部位の内、垂直部位11aが浴槽側壁の外面に当接し、垂直部位11aの上端から庇状に伸びる水平部位11bが浴槽側壁の上面に当接することになる。
狭持部材11の浴槽側壁の外面および上面に当接することになる面には、通常、滑り止めおよび浴槽の保護のため、ゴムシートあるいは軟質プラスチックシートなどのライナー11cが貼り付けられている(図3参照)。
A holding member 11 is attached and fixed to the main body frame 1. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the holding member 11 is made of a frame material having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section, and the vertical portion 11 a is the outer surface of the bathtub side wall among the two portions forming the approximately inverted L-shape. The horizontal part 11b extending in a bowl shape from the upper end of the vertical part 11a comes into contact with the upper surface of the bathtub side wall.
A liner 11c such as a rubber sheet or a soft plastic sheet is usually affixed to the outer surface and the upper surface of the bathtub side wall of the holding member 11 to prevent slippage and protect the bathtub (see FIG. 3).

本体フレーム1の垂下部1bは、図5から分かるように、垂直方向に下に伸びる辺と傾斜した方向に下に伸びる辺とを有している。そして、前者の垂直方向に下に伸びる2つの辺の部位と断面略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の2つの側辺部のうちの高さの長い方の側辺部の下端縁とを狭持部材11の背面を接触させ、溶接などで固定することにより、狭持部材11を本体フレーム1に取り付けている(図2参照)。   As can be seen from FIG. 5, the hanging portion 1b of the main body frame 1 has a side extending downward in the vertical direction and a side extending downward in the inclined direction. Then, narrow the lower edge of the longer side part of the two side parts of the former part extending in the vertical direction and the two side parts of the substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped section. The holding member 11 is attached to the main body frame 1 by contacting the back surface of the holding member 11 and fixing it by welding or the like (see FIG. 2).

上述したように、本体フレーム1の一方の端部をふさぐ板状体に形成された孔にネジ部材3のネジ軸部31が挿入される(図3、図5参照)。本体フレーム1の屋根部1aは、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の全体を覆うのに十分な長さを備えている。後述するように、ネジ部材3の頭部には、ノブ(摘み)32が形成されている。   As described above, the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 is inserted into the hole formed in the plate-like body that covers one end portion of the main body frame 1 (see FIGS. 3 and 5). The roof portion 1 a of the main body frame 1 has a length sufficient to cover the entire screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3. As will be described later, a knob 32 is formed on the head of the screw member 3.

移動側フレーム2は、とりわけ図1、図3から分かるように、逆L字状のフレーム材からなり、垂直部位2aと水平部位2bを有しており、図9から分かるように、水平部位2bのノブ32側の端部を除いて、断面が略コ字状である(垂直部位2aの略コ字の開放側が浴槽側壁内面側に、水平部位2bの略コ字の開放側が浴槽側壁上面側に、それぞれ向いている)。なお、図9では、本体フレーム1は描かれていない(図3参照)。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the moving side frame 2 is made of an inverted L-shaped frame material and has a vertical portion 2a and a horizontal portion 2b. As can be seen from FIG. 9, the horizontal portion 2b. The section of the vertical portion 2a is substantially U-shaped (the open side of the substantially U-shaped vertical portion 2a is on the inner side of the bathtub side wall, and the open side of the substantially U-shaped side of the horizontal portion 2b is the upper side of the bathtub side wall. Are suitable for each). In FIG. 9, the main body frame 1 is not drawn (see FIG. 3).

移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bのネジ部材3のノブ32側の端部は、図9に示すように、略コ字状の断面を形成する左右2つの側辺部の内の1つが欠けた形状をしており、残った側辺部や略コ字状断面の背部の部位(水平部位2bの天井に相当する部位)に、後述するガイド4が取り付けられ固定されている。そして、ガイド4の一部がこの欠けた側辺部に対応する部位の面からはみ出すように配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 9, the end of the horizontal member 2b of the moving frame 2 on the knob 32 side of the screw member 3 lacks one of the left and right side portions forming a substantially U-shaped cross section. The guide 4 which will be described later is attached and fixed to the remaining side part and the back part of the substantially U-shaped cross section (part corresponding to the ceiling of the horizontal part 2b). And it arrange | positions so that a part of guide 4 may protrude from the surface of the site | part corresponding to this missing side part.

移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bは、本体フレーム1が支持する狭持部材11の水平の部位11bに載置されるとともに、本体フレーム1の断面略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の屋根部1aの下に納まるように配置されて、狭持部材11の水平の部位11bの上面を移動(スライド)できるようになっている。図3において、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bが狭持部材11の水平の部位11b上で左から右方向に移動する場合は、水平の部位11bの左側端に移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aが接触するまで移動することができる。   The horizontal part 2b of the moving frame 2 is placed on the horizontal part 11b of the holding member 11 supported by the main body frame 1, and the roof part 1a of the main body frame 1 having a substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped cross section. The upper surface of the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 can be moved (slid). In FIG. 3, when the horizontal part 2b of the moving side frame 2 moves from left to right on the horizontal part 11b of the holding member 11, the vertical part 2a of the moving side frame 2 is placed on the left end of the horizontal part 11b. Can move until they touch.

移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aには揺動部材22を介して狭持部材21を取り付けることが望ましい。揺動部材22を介さないで、狭持部材21を、直接、溶接などで移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aに取り付けることも可能である。   It is desirable to attach the holding member 21 to the vertical part 2 a of the moving side frame 2 via the swing member 22. It is also possible to attach the holding member 21 directly to the vertical portion 2a of the moving side frame 2 by welding or the like without using the swing member 22.

狭持部材21は、板状体で形成されており、浴槽側壁の内面に当接する部材であり、図3から分かるように、狭持部材21の上端は、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の水平部位11bの高さより下に位置しなければならない。
狭持部材21の浴槽に当接する面には、狭持部材11と同様に、通常、滑り止めおよび浴槽の保護のため、ゴムシートあるいは軟質プラスチックシートなどのライナー21aが貼り付けられている(図3参照)。
The holding member 21 is formed of a plate-like body and is a member that abuts against the inner surface of the bathtub side wall. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the upper end of the holding member 21 is the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1. It must be located below the height of the horizontal part 11b.
A liner 21a such as a rubber sheet or a soft plastic sheet is usually attached to the surface of the holding member 21 that is in contact with the bathtub, similarly to the holding member 11, for preventing slippage and protecting the bathtub (see FIG. 3).

揺動部材22は、断面が略コ字状であり(図1、図10参照)、略コ字の背部に対応する部位の外面に狭持部材21が取り付けられて固定され、また略コ字の凹部に対応する部位に移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aが挿入される。なお、ここでは、揺動部材22の2つの側辺部は半円形であるがこれに限るものではない。   The swing member 22 has a substantially U-shaped cross section (see FIGS. 1 and 10), and is attached and fixed to the outer surface of a portion corresponding to the back portion of the approximately U-shape. The vertical part 2a of the moving side frame 2 is inserted into the part corresponding to the recess. Here, the two side portions of the swing member 22 are semicircular, but the present invention is not limited to this.

そして、揺動部材22と移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aにそれぞれ2個所に計4つの孔を形成し、これらの孔にピン23を挿通することにより、ピン23を中心にして揺動部材22が揺動することにより、狭持部材21が揺動できるようにすることができる。
こうすることで、図6(a)に示すような、浴槽側壁の内面が傾斜して、底に向かうにつれて厚みが増す浴槽の側壁に対しても、狭持部材21が浴槽側壁内面の傾斜に沿うように動き、入浴用補助具のクランプ機構を浴槽側壁によりいっそう堅固に取り付けることができる。
Then, a total of four holes are formed at two positions in each of the swing member 22 and the vertical part 2a of the moving frame 2, and the pin 23 is inserted into these holes, whereby the swing member 22 is centered on the pin 23. By swinging, the pinching member 21 can be swung.
By doing so, the inner surface of the bathtub side wall is inclined as shown in FIG. 6A, and the sandwiching member 21 is inclined to the inner wall of the bathtub side wall as the thickness increases toward the bottom. The bathing aid clamping mechanism can be attached more firmly to the bathtub side wall.

また、移動側フレームの垂直部位2aに形成される孔(図7では図面番号24)を、水平方向において、垂直方向の径よりも大きい径に形成して遊びをより大きく設け、ピン23が水平面内で比較的小さな角度内で旋回することにより、狭持部材21を揺動できるようにすることもできる。
こうすることで、図6(b)に示すような、浴槽側壁の内面の平面視が湾曲している浴槽の角部近傍に対しても、狭持部材21がこの湾曲している側壁内面に沿うように傾くことが可能になり、入浴用補助具のクランプ機構を浴槽側壁にいっそう堅固に取り付けることができる。また、角部以外において平面視が湾曲している側壁内面にも同様にクランプ機構により浴槽側壁にいっそう堅固に取り付けることができる。
Further, a hole formed in the vertical portion 2a of the moving side frame (drawing number 24 in FIG. 7) is formed in a horizontal direction with a diameter larger than the diameter in the vertical direction to provide more play, and the pin 23 is in a horizontal plane. The pinching member 21 can be swung by turning within a relatively small angle.
By doing so, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the holding member 21 is also attached to the curved inner surface of the side wall even in the vicinity of the corner of the bathtub where the plan view of the inner surface of the bathtub side wall is curved. It becomes possible to incline along, and the clamping mechanism of the bathing aid can be more firmly attached to the bathtub side wall. Moreover, it can attach to the bathtub side wall more firmly similarly by the clamp mechanism similarly to the side wall inner surface which planar view curves other than a corner | angular part.

次に、移動側フレーム2を、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の垂直部位11aに対して、進退させる移動操作手段について説明する。この実施形態では、2基の移動側フレームを備えているので、移動操作手段も2つ備えている。
移動操作手段は、以下に記載するように、ネジ部材3、ガイド4、レバー5およびバネ6を備えるものである。
Next, moving operation means for moving the moving side frame 2 forward and backward with respect to the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1 will be described. In this embodiment, since two moving-side frames are provided, two moving operation means are also provided.
The moving operation means includes a screw member 3, a guide 4, a lever 5, and a spring 6 as described below.

ネジ部材3は、すでに記載したように、そのネジ軸部31が回動自在かつ軸方向に進退自在に本体フレーム1に係合されている。そして、図8から分かるように、ネジ部材3の頭部は、ノブ(摘み)32が形成されており、本体フレーム1の外に露出しており(図1〜4参照)、ノブ32を押し込むか、引き出すかすることにより、本体フレーム1に対して、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31を軸方向に進退させることでき、また、ノブ32を回動することによりネジ部材3のネジ軸部31を回動させることができる。   As described above, the screw member 3 is engaged with the main body frame 1 so that the screw shaft portion 31 can rotate and advance and retract in the axial direction. As can be seen from FIG. 8, a knob (knob) 32 is formed on the head of the screw member 3 and is exposed to the outside of the main body frame 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 4), and the knob 32 is pushed in. Alternatively, the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 can be moved back and forth in the axial direction with respect to the main body frame 1 by pulling out or the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 can be turned by rotating the knob 32. Can be rotated.

ガイド4は、図11から分かるように、断面が略U字状の部材であり、図9から分かるように、略U字の底部に対応する部位の外面や略U字の一方の側辺部に対応する部位の下部外面で移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bのノブ32に近い方の端部に固定されている。なお、すでに記載したように、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bのノブ32に近い方の端部は略コ字の断面を形成する左右2つの側辺部の内の1つが欠けた形状をしている。   As can be seen from FIG. 11, the guide 4 is a member having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and as can be seen from FIG. 9, the outer surface of the portion corresponding to the bottom of the substantially U-shape or one side portion of the substantially U-shape. Is fixed to the end portion of the horizontal portion 2b of the moving side frame 2 near the knob 32 on the lower outer surface of the portion corresponding to. As already described, the end of the horizontal portion 2b of the moving side frame 2 that is closer to the knob 32 has a shape in which one of the left and right side portions forming a substantially U-shaped cross section is missing. ing.

また、ガイド4は、図9から分かるように、略U字の下部に対応する部位の断面が半円状、かつ、その内径がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の外径よりもやや大きくなっており、該略U字の下部に対応する部位の内面でネジ部材3のネジ軸部31を軸方向に移動自在に案内可能になっている。   Further, as can be seen from FIG. 9, the guide 4 has a semicircular cross section at a portion corresponding to the substantially U-shaped lower portion, and its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3. The screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 can be guided in an axially movable manner on the inner surface of the portion corresponding to the lower portion of the substantially U-shape.

レバー5は、図11から分かるように、その一方の端部を含む部位がガイド4の略U字の内部に対応する部位に収納されるように配置され、その他方の端部を含む部位がガイド4の略U字の内部に対応する部位から露出するように配置されている。なお、レバー5の一方の端部を含む部位は、図8から分かるように、その一部がガイド4の略U字の内部に対応する部位からはみ出してもよい。   As can be seen from FIG. 11, the lever 5 is disposed so that a portion including one end portion thereof is accommodated in a portion corresponding to the substantially U-shape of the guide 4, and a portion including the other end portion is included. It arrange | positions so that it may expose from the site | part corresponding to the inside of the approximate U-shape of the guide 4. Note that, as can be seen from FIG. 8, a part of the lever 5 including one end portion may protrude from a part of the guide 4 corresponding to the substantially U-shape.

そして、レバー5は、図8、図11から分かるように、ガイド4に軸支されている。すなわち、レバー5は、ガイド4の略U字の2つの側辺部に対応する部位の上部に形成された孔(図面番号なし)に挿通されたピン7を中心にして、回動できるようになっている。
なお、41はサイドガイド片であり、これについては後述する。
The lever 5 is pivotally supported by the guide 4 as can be seen from FIGS. 8 and 11. That is, the lever 5 can be rotated around a pin 7 inserted through a hole (not shown in the drawing) formed in an upper portion of a portion corresponding to two side portions of the substantially U-shape of the guide 4. It has become.
Reference numeral 41 denotes a side guide piece, which will be described later.

図11から分かるように、ピン7の上端部がガイド4の略U字の上側の側辺部に対応する部位から露出しており、この露出している部位に捩りコイルバネ機能を有するバネ6を取り付け、図8から分かるように、該バネ6の一端がガイド4に、他端がレバー5にそれぞれ係止されている。そして、バネ6の捩りコイルバネ機能により、レバー5の一方の端部の端面がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31に付勢される状態になっている〔図8(a)参照〕。なお、バネ6は、ピン7の上部にはつば部を設けるなどして、ピン7からが外れることのないようにしている。   As can be seen from FIG. 11, the upper end portion of the pin 7 is exposed from a portion corresponding to the side portion on the upper side of the substantially U-shape of the guide 4, and the spring 6 having a torsion coil spring function is provided on the exposed portion. As shown in FIG. 8, one end of the spring 6 is locked to the guide 4 and the other end is locked to the lever 5. The end surface of one end of the lever 5 is biased by the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 by the torsion coil spring function of the spring 6 (see FIG. 8A). The spring 6 is prevented from being detached from the pin 7 by providing a flange portion on the top of the pin 7.

レバー5は、図11から分かるように、一方の端部の端面にネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の雄ネジに螺合するネジ山(雌ネジ)が形成されている。そして、レバー5がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31に付勢している時には、ネジ軸部31にレバー5のネジ山が形成された端面が螺合する〔図8(a)、図9参照〕。
なお、以下において、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5の一方の端部のネジ山が形成された端面との螺合を単にネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5との螺合ということがある。
As can be seen from FIG. 11, the lever 5 has a thread (female screw) that is screwed into the male screw of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 on the end face of one end portion. When the lever 5 is biased to the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3, the end surface on which the thread of the lever 5 is formed is screwed to the screw shaft portion 31 (see FIGS. 8A and 9). ].
In the following description, the screw shaft 31 of the screw member 3 and the end surface on which one end of the lever 5 is formed are simply screwed with the screw shaft 31 of the screw member 3 and the lever 5. There is.

ネジ軸部31とレバー5の螺合解除は、レバー5のネジ山が形成されていない方の端部(以下、「他方の端部」という)を押圧して、レバー5をピン7を中心に回動させて、レバー5のネジ山が形成された端面をネジ軸部31から離すことにより行える〔図8(a)、(b)参照〕。
また、レバー5の他方の端部を押圧していないときは、バネ6により、レバー5の一方の端部の端面がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31に付勢される状態になるから、ネジ軸部31とレバー5のネジ山が形成された端面は螺合している。
The screw shaft 31 and the lever 5 are unscrewed by pressing the end of the lever 5 on which the screw thread is not formed (hereinafter referred to as “the other end”), so that the lever 5 is centered on the pin 7. And the end surface on which the thread of the lever 5 is formed is separated from the screw shaft portion 31 (see FIGS. 8A and 8B).
When the other end portion of the lever 5 is not pressed, the end surface of the one end portion of the lever 5 is biased by the spring 6 to the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3. The end surface of the shaft portion 31 and the lever 5 where the threads are formed are screwed together.

レバー5の端面に形成するネジ山数は、山数が多くなるとレバー5とネジ軸部31との螺合が困難になるので、1〜10程度である。なお、レバー5のネジ山が形成された端面の長さ方向の両端にはアール(丸見)を付けるのが望ましい(図8参照)。   The number of screw threads formed on the end surface of the lever 5 is about 1 to 10 because screwing between the lever 5 and the screw shaft portion 31 becomes difficult as the number of threads increases. In addition, it is desirable to attach a round (round view) to the both ends of the length direction of the end surface in which the thread of the lever 5 is formed (see FIG. 8).

図8、図9、図11から分かるように、ガイド4の略U字の下部内側に対応する部位の、レバー5の端面のネジ山とネジ軸部31との螺合を妨げない位置に、断面が半円弧状のサイドガイド片41を装着することが望ましい。こうすることで、サイドガイド片41とガイド4の略U字の底部に対応する部位とで筒状部を形成して、該筒状部内にネジ部材3のネジ軸部31を通すことにより、ネジ軸部31が振れないようにして、ネジ部材3が軸方向に安定して案内されるようにしている。
また、図8から分かるように、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の端部には、ストッパー33を装着して、ネジ部材3を後退させたときに、ガイド4からネジ部材3が抜け出ないようにすることが望ましい。
As can be seen from FIGS. 8, 9, and 11, at a position corresponding to the substantially U-shaped lower inner side of the guide 4 at a position that does not hinder screwing of the screw thread on the end surface of the lever 5 and the screw shaft portion 31. It is desirable to mount the side guide piece 41 having a semicircular cross section. By doing so, a cylindrical portion is formed by the side guide piece 41 and a portion corresponding to the bottom of the substantially U shape of the guide 4, and the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 is passed through the cylindrical portion, The screw member 3 is stably guided in the axial direction so that the screw shaft portion 31 does not swing.
Further, as can be seen from FIG. 8, when the stopper 33 is attached to the end of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 and the screw member 3 is retracted, the screw member 3 does not come out of the guide 4. It is desirable to make it.

なお、図9、図11から分かるように、ガイド4の略U字の2つの側辺部に対応する部位の中程にはそれぞれ同じ側(ネジ部材3のノブ32側)に凹部42が形成され、ガイド4は、凹部42より下部の部位が、図9から分かるように、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bの略コ字状の断面に対応する部位内に納まり、凹部42より上部の部位が、該断面から横方向(狭持部材11の水平部位11bの面と平行の方向)にはみ出すように配置される。そして、この2つの凹部42に、本体フレーム1の断面が略コ字状部位の2つの側辺部のうち一方の側辺部の辺が進入することができるようになっている(図1、図2、図4参照)。この凹部42はなくともよいが、形成することが望ましい。   As can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 11, a recess 42 is formed on the same side (the knob 32 side of the screw member 3) in the middle of the portion corresponding to the two substantially U-shaped side portions of the guide 4. As shown in FIG. 9, the guide 4 is placed in a portion corresponding to the substantially U-shaped cross section of the horizontal portion 2 b of the moving side frame 2, and a portion above the recess 42. However, it arrange | positions so that it may protrude from the cross section in the horizontal direction (direction parallel to the surface of the horizontal part 11b of the holding member 11). The side of one side of the two side portions of the substantially U-shaped section of the main body frame 1 can enter the two recesses 42 (FIG. 1). (See FIGS. 2 and 4). The recess 42 may be omitted, but it is desirable to form it.

このように、ガイド4の略U字の上部に対応する部位は、移動側フレーム2の略コ字に対応する断面からはみ出るように配置されているが、図1、図2から分かるように、本体フレーム1の断面が略Γ字状である部位の高さが短い方の側辺部の下からもはみ出ている。したがって、ガイド4の略U字の上部に対応する部位に装着されたピン7、ピン7に装着されているバネ6およびレバー5の他方の端部は、本体フレーム1の断面が略Γ字状の部位の高さが短い方の側辺部の下から常時露出している。   As described above, the portion of the guide 4 corresponding to the upper portion of the approximately U-shape is arranged so as to protrude from the cross section corresponding to the approximately U-shape of the moving frame 2, but as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, The portion of the main body frame 1 having a substantially Γ-shaped cross section protrudes from under the side portion having a shorter height. Therefore, the pin 7 attached to the portion corresponding to the upper portion of the substantially U-shape of the guide 4, the spring 6 attached to the pin 7, and the other end of the lever 5 have a substantially Γ-shaped cross section of the main body frame 1. It is always exposed from below the side part of the shorter side.

なお、図10から分かるように、本体フレーム1の屋根部1aの高さは、狭持部材11の水平部位11b上面との間に、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bが収納される高さを有するようにして、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bが本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の水平部位11b上面を移動(スライド)できるようにしなければならない。また、本体フレーム1の断面略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の2つの側辺部のうちの高さの短い方の側辺部の下端縁と狭持部材11の水平部位11b上面との間が、ガイド4の移動を妨げない程度の
間隙を備えていなければならない。
As can be seen from FIG. 10, the height of the roof portion 1 a of the main body frame 1 is such that the horizontal portion 2 b of the moving side frame 2 is accommodated between the upper surface of the horizontal portion 11 b of the holding member 11. Thus, the horizontal part 2b of the moving frame 2 must be able to move (slide) on the upper surface of the horizontal part 11b of the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1. Further, between the lower edge of the shorter side portion of the two side portions of the portion having a substantially Γ (gamma) shape in cross section of the main body frame 1 and the upper surface of the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 However, it must have a gap that does not hinder the movement of the guide 4.

このように、レバー5の他方の端部は、本体フレーム1の断面略Γ字状の部位の高さが短い方の側辺部の下からからは露出しているから、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5の一方の端部のネジ山が形成された端面との螺合の解除は、レバー5の他方の端部を押圧して、レバー5をピン7を中心にして回動させることによりいつでも行うことができる。
また、この押圧を止めると、バネ6の働きにより、レバー5のネジ山が形成された端面がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31に付勢して、螺合が復帰する。
As described above, the other end of the lever 5 is exposed from below the side portion of the main body frame 1 having a substantially Γ-shaped cross section, so that the screw of the screw member 3 is exposed. To release the threaded engagement between the shaft 31 and the end face on which one end of the lever 5 is formed, the other end of the lever 5 is pressed and the lever 5 is rotated around the pin 7. Can be done at any time.
When the pressing is stopped, the end of the lever 5 where the thread is formed is urged to the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 by the action of the spring 6 so that the screwing is restored.

この実施形態では、図1、図2から分かるように、ネジ軸部31とレバー5の螺合を解除できる2つのレバー5の他方の端部がいずれも2基の本体フレーム1の間の領域にないが、レバー5の他方の端部を押圧して螺合を解除する操作に支障がなければ、2つのレバー5の、あるいはそのいずれか1つのレバー5の他方の端部を2基の本体フレームの間の領域に配置されるようにしてもよい。このようにするには、本体フレーム1の断面が略Г(ガンマ)字状の部位の2つの側辺部のうち、高さ(縦の長さ)が短くなっている方の側辺部の面が2基の本体フレーム1の間に向くようにしなければならない。   In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the other end of the two levers 5 that can release the screwing of the screw shaft 31 and the lever 5 is an area between the two main body frames 1. However, if there is no problem in the operation of releasing the screwing by pressing the other end of the lever 5, the two ends of the two levers 5 or any one of the levers 5 You may make it arrange | position in the area | region between main body frames. To do this, of the two side portions of the portion having a substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped cross section of the main body frame 1, the side portion having the shorter height (vertical length) is used. The surface must face between the two body frames 1.

次に移動操作手段の操作について説明する。
ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5とが螺合した状態で、ネジ部材3のノブ32を押してネジ部材3をネジ軸方向に移動させると、ガイド4がネジ軸部31の軸方向に移動するから(図9参照)、ガイド4が取り付けられている移動側フレーム2も移動することになり、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bが本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の水平部位11bの上面でスライド(図3では右から左方向に移動)して、狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21との間隔が拡がることになる。
なお、本体フレーム1は、前述したように、略Г(ガンマ)字状断面を有し、2つの側辺部の一方は他方よりも高さ(縦の長さ)が短くなっているから、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bの略コ字状部位に対応する断面からはみ出るガイド4やレバー5、バネ6の部位がネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の軸方向へ移動するのを妨げることはない。
Next, the operation of the moving operation means will be described.
When the screw shaft 3 of the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together, when the knob 32 of the screw member 3 is pushed to move the screw member 3 in the screw shaft direction, the guide 4 moves in the axial direction of the screw shaft portion 31. Since it moves (see FIG. 9), the moving frame 2 to which the guide 4 is attached also moves, and the horizontal portion 2b of the moving frame 2 is the upper surface of the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1. Thus, the distance between the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 and the holding member 21 of the moving frame 2 is increased.
As described above, the main body frame 1 has a substantially Γ (gamma) -shaped cross section, and one of the two side portions is shorter in height (vertical length) than the other. To prevent the guide 4, lever 5, and spring 6 portions protruding from the cross section corresponding to the substantially U-shaped portion of the horizontal portion 2 b of the moving side frame 2 from moving in the axial direction of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3. Absent.

同様に螺合した状態で、逆にノブ32を引くと、ノブ32を押した場合と逆の動きをして、移動側フレーム2は、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の水平部位11bの上面でスライド(図3では左から右方向に移動)して、狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレームの狭持部材21との間隔が狭まることになる。この場合は、図3から分かるように、本体フレーム1の狭持部材の水平部位11bの左側の端部に移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aが接触するまで移動することができる。したがって、このときの狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21との間隔は、浴槽200の側壁の厚みよりも小さくなるようにしておかなければならない。   Similarly, when the knob 32 is pulled in the screwed state, the movement side frame 2 moves in the reverse direction to the case where the knob 32 is pushed, and the moving side frame 2 is the upper surface of the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 of the body frame 1 Thus, the distance between the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 and the holding member 21 of the moving side frame is reduced by sliding (moving from left to right in FIG. 3). In this case, as can be seen from FIG. 3, the movable part 2 can move until the vertical part 2 a of the moving frame 2 contacts the left end of the horizontal part 11 b of the holding member of the main body frame 1. Therefore, the distance between the vertical portion 11 a of the holding member 11 and the holding member 21 of the moving frame 2 at this time must be smaller than the thickness of the side wall of the bathtub 200.

ネジ部材のネジ軸部31とレバー5との螺合を解除した状態で、ノブ32を押してネジ部材3をネジ軸方向に移動させると、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31がガイド4に案内されて移動するが、螺合が解除されているので、ガイド4が取り付けられている移動側フレーム2が移動することはない。   When the knob 32 is pushed and the screw member 3 is moved in the screw shaft direction in a state where the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member and the lever 5 are released, the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 is guided by the guide 4. However, since the screwing is released, the moving frame 2 to which the guide 4 is attached does not move.

上記の螺合を解除した状態で、ノブ32を引いてネジ部材3をネジ軸部31の軸方向に移動(後退)させても同様であるから、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の水平部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21の間隔が変化しない。なお、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の先端にストッパーを装着している場合、ノブ32を引き続けると、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の先端に装着されたストッパー33がガイド4に当たるから、ネジ部材3が本体フレーム1から抜け落ちることがない。   It is the same even if the knob 32 is pulled and the screw member 3 is moved (retracted) in the axial direction of the screw shaft portion 31 in the state where the above screwing is released, so that the horizontal portion of the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1 is the same. The distance between the holding member 21 of the moving frame 2 does not change. When the stopper is attached to the tip of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3, if the knob 32 is continuously pulled, the stopper 33 attached to the tip of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 hits the guide 4. The screw member 3 does not fall off from the main body frame 1.

ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5とが螺合した状態で、ノブ32を回動あるいは逆方向に回動させると、ネジ部材3が回動あるいは逆回動し、ガイド4をネジ軸の軸方向に進退させることができ、それにともなって、ガイド4に取り付けられた移動側フレーム2を、本体フレームの狭持部材11の水平部位11bの上面で移動させて進退させることができるから、ノブ32を回動あるいは逆方向に回動させることにより、狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2に支持された狭持部材21との間隔を微調整することができる。   When the knob 32 is rotated or rotated in the reverse direction in a state where the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together, the screw member 3 is rotated or reversely rotated, and the guide 4 is moved to the screw shaft. Since the moving side frame 2 attached to the guide 4 can be moved on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 of the main body frame, the moving side frame 2 can be moved back and forth. By rotating the knob 32 or rotating in the opposite direction, the distance between the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 and the holding member 21 supported by the moving frame 2 can be finely adjusted.

以下に本発明の入浴用補助具のクランプ機構100を浴槽側壁に取り付け及び取り外しの作業手順の一例について説明する。クランプ機構100の本体フレーム上には入浴用補助具が取り付けられている。なお、取り付け及び取り外しの作業手順はこの例に限るものではない。
上記の実施形態のクランプ機構100は、2基の本体フレーム1と2基の移動側フレーム2を有し、本体フレーム1と移動側フレーム2との対を2組備えるものであるが、重複する作業手順を省略するため、以下においては、1基の本体フレーム1とこれと対になる1基の移動側フレーム2について説明する。
なお、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31とレバー5のネジ山が形成された端面との螺合をネジ部材3とレバー5の螺合、ネジ軸部31とレバー5の螺合、あるいは単に螺合ということがある。
Below, an example of the operation | work procedure of attaching and removing the clamp mechanism 100 of the auxiliary tool for bathing of this invention to a bathtub side wall is demonstrated. On the body frame of the clamp mechanism 100, a bathing aid is attached. Note that the attachment and removal work procedures are not limited to this example.
The clamp mechanism 100 of the above embodiment has two main body frames 1 and two moving side frames 2, and includes two pairs of the main body frame 1 and the moving side frame 2, but they overlap. In order to omit the work procedure, in the following, one main body frame 1 and one moving side frame 2 paired therewith will be described.
It should be noted that the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 and the end surface of the lever 5 where the screw thread is formed are screwed to the screw member 3 and the lever 5, the screw shaft portion 31 and the lever 5 are screwed, or simply screwed. Sometimes there is a match.

・取り付け手順(0)
レバー5の端面にネジ山が形成されていない方の端部(以下、この端部を「他方の端部」という)を押圧してネジ部材3とレバー5の螺合を解除した後に、ノブ32を手前に引く(図3において、ノブ32は右に移動し、ネジ部材3のネジ軸部31の一部が本体フレーム1から露出する。このとき、ネジ部材3とレバー5の螺合を解除されているから、移動側フレーム2は移動しない。)
次いで、レバー5の他方の端部の押圧を止めて(押圧を解除して)、ネジ部材3とレバー5を螺合させた後に、ノブ32を押す。このとき、移動側フレーム2は移動し、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21の間隔が大きくなる(図3では、移動側フレーム2が左方向に移動する)。
なお、以下において、上記の狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21の間隔を「間隔L」ということにする。
この操作により、間隔Lを、予め浴槽側壁の厚み幅よりも余裕を持って、該厚み幅の1.5倍程度に大きくする。通常は、前回の入浴補助具の使用後にクランプ機構を浴槽側壁から取り外しているから、間隔Lが十分広くなっている。このような場合には、以上の操作はする必要がない(後述の「取り外し手順(2)」参照)。
(間隔Lを大きくする操作は、ノブ32を手前に引く操作と手前に押す操作をするが、ノブを回動する操作を必要としないから、一気に短時間で行える。)
・ Installation procedure (0)
After the end of the lever 5 on which the thread is not formed (hereinafter referred to as “the other end”) is pressed to release the screw member 3 and the lever 5, the knob (In FIG. 3, the knob 32 moves to the right and a part of the screw shaft portion 31 of the screw member 3 is exposed from the main body frame 1. At this time, the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together. Since it is released, the moving side frame 2 does not move.)
Next, after pressing the other end of the lever 5 is stopped (released) and the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together, the knob 32 is pressed. At this time, the moving frame 2 moves, and the distance between the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1 and the holding member 21 of the moving frame 2 is increased (in FIG. 3, the moving frame 2 is leftward). To go to).
Hereinafter, the interval between the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 and the holding member 21 of the moving frame 2 is referred to as “interval L”.
By this operation, the interval L is increased to about 1.5 times the thickness width with a margin in advance than the thickness width of the bathtub side wall. Usually, since the clamp mechanism is removed from the bathtub side wall after the previous use of the bathing aid, the interval L is sufficiently wide. In such a case, it is not necessary to perform the above operation (see “Removal procedure (2)” described later).
(The operation to increase the interval L includes an operation of pulling the knob 32 forward and an operation of pushing the knob 32 forward, but since an operation of rotating the knob is not required, it can be performed in a short time.)

・取り付け手順(1)
本体フレーム1の狭持部材11と移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21とが浴槽側壁を跨ぐように、クランプ機構を設置する。このとき、狭持部材11の水平部位11bは浴槽側壁上面に接している。なお、このとき、レバー5の端部の押圧を止め続け、ネジ部材3とレバー5を螺合させた状態でよい。
(間隔Lが十分に大きいので、この手順の過程で、浴槽側壁を疵付けたり、狭持部材のライナーなどが浴槽側壁に張り付いて作業を中断したりすることが避けられる。また、作業者は移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aを把持する必要がないから、浴槽内の湯に手を漬けなくてすむ。)
・ Installation procedure (1)
The clamping mechanism is installed so that the holding member 11 of the main body frame 1 and the holding member 21 of the moving side frame 2 straddle the bathtub side wall. At this time, the horizontal part 11b of the pinching member 11 is in contact with the upper surface of the bathtub side wall. At this time, it may be in a state where the end of the lever 5 is kept pressed and the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together.
(Since the distance L is sufficiently large, it is possible to avoid brazing the bathtub side wall or sticking the liner of the holding member to the bathtub side wall and interrupting the operation in the course of this procedure. Since it is not necessary to hold the vertical part 2a of the moving side frame 2, it is not necessary to immerse your hands in the hot water in the bathtub.)

・取り付け手順(2)
ネジ部材3とレバー5とが螺合した状態(レバー5の端部の押圧を止めている状態)で、ノブ32を手前に引く(図3において右側に引く)。このとき、移動側フレーム2が移動して、間隔Lが狭くなり、浴槽側壁の厚みとほぼ同じになる。
〔この狭持部材の間隔Lを狭くして浴槽側壁の厚み幅に近づける操作は、ネジ部材のノブ32をネジ軸部31の軸方向に(図3では左側から右側に)引っ張るだけであり、ノブ32を回動させるのではないから、一気に短時間で行うことができる。〕
・ Installation procedure (2)
In a state where the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together (state where the end of the lever 5 is not pressed), the knob 32 is pulled forward (pulled to the right in FIG. 3). At this time, the movement side frame 2 moves, the space | interval L becomes narrow, and becomes substantially the same as the thickness of the bathtub side wall.
[The operation of narrowing the gap L between the holding members and bringing it closer to the thickness width of the bathtub side wall is only to pull the knob 32 of the screw member in the axial direction of the screw shaft portion 31 (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 3) Since the knob 32 is not rotated, it can be performed in a short time. ]

・取り付け手順(3)
次いで、ネジ部材3とレバー5とが螺合した状態で、ネジ部材のノブ32を、数回、回動させ、移動側フレームの狭持部材21を移動させて、間隔Lをさらに狭め、本体フレーム1の狭持部材11の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2に支持された狭持部材21とで、浴槽側壁を締め付け、クランプ機構を浴槽側壁に固定する。
〔すでに取り付け手順(2)で間隔Lが浴槽側壁の厚み幅にほぼ近くなっているから、ノブ32を同一方向に、数回、回動操作をするだけで、間隔Lをさらに狭くして本体フレーム1の狭持部材の垂直部位11aと移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21とで浴槽側壁を締め付けることができ、クランプ機構を堅固に固定できる。この操作もノブを同一方向に数十回も回動させるのではないから、短時間で容易に行える。また、従来のクランプ機構のように、ノブを同一方向に数十回回動するうちに、回動を繰り返し過ぎて、浴槽側壁を破損することも避けることができる。〕
取り付け手順(3)の作業が完了した後に、入浴者は入浴補助具を利用できる。このとき、ネジ部材3とレバー5は螺合した状態(レバー5の端部の押圧を解除した状態)のままである。
・ Installation procedure (3)
Next, in a state where the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together, the knob 32 of the screw member is rotated several times, and the holding member 21 of the moving side frame is moved to further narrow the interval L, and the main body The bathtub side wall is fastened by the vertical portion 11a of the holding member 11 of the frame 1 and the holding member 21 supported by the moving frame 2, and the clamp mechanism is fixed to the bathtub side wall.
[Since the interval L is already close to the thickness width of the bathtub side wall in the installation procedure (2), the interval L is further narrowed by simply rotating the knob 32 several times in the same direction. The bathtub side wall can be fastened by the vertical portion 11a of the holding member of the frame 1 and the holding member 21 of the moving side frame 2, and the clamp mechanism can be firmly fixed. Since this operation does not rotate the knob several tens of times in the same direction, it can be easily performed in a short time. Moreover, like the conventional clamp mechanism, while rotating a knob dozens of times in the same direction, it can also avoid damaging a bathtub side wall by repeating rotation too much. ]
After completion of the installation procedure (3), the bather can use the bathing aid. At this time, the screw member 3 and the lever 5 remain in a screwed state (a state where the end of the lever 5 is released).

次に本発明のクランプ機構100を浴槽側壁から取り外す作業の手順の一例について説明する。
・取り外し手順(1)
ネジ部材3とレバー5とが螺合した状態で、ネジ部材3のノブ32を、上述の取り付け手順(3)における回動とは逆方向に、数回、回動させ、移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21を移動させて、間隔Lを浴槽側壁の厚みよりもやや大きくなるように拡げる。この結果、移動側フレーム2の狭持部材21と浴槽側壁の内面との間に僅かな間隙が生じる。
(この操作もノブを同一方向に数十回も回動させるのではないから、短時間で容易に行える。)
Next, an example of a procedure for removing the clamping mechanism 100 of the present invention from the bathtub side wall will be described.
・ Removal procedure (1)
In a state where the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together, the knob 32 of the screw member 3 is rotated several times in the direction opposite to the rotation in the mounting procedure (3) described above to The holding member 21 is moved, and the space | interval L is expanded so that it may become a little larger than the thickness of a bathtub side wall. As a result, a slight gap is generated between the holding member 21 of the moving side frame 2 and the inner surface of the bathtub side wall.
(This operation can be easily performed in a short time because the knob is not rotated dozens of times in the same direction.)

・取り外し手順(2)
レバー5の他方の端部を押圧してネジ部材3とレバー5の螺合を解除した後、ネジ部材3のノブ32を手前に引く(図3において右側に引く)。このとき、ネジ部材3は移動(図3において右側に)して、ネジ軸部31が本体フレーム1より露出する。螺合が解除されているから、移動側フレーム2は移動しない。したがって、間隔Lは変わらない。
(この作業は、締め込みネジを回動することなく、ノブ32を手間に引っ張るだけであるから、一気に短時間で容易に行える。)
・ Removal procedure (2)
After pressing the other end of the lever 5 to release the screwing of the screw member 3 and the lever 5, the knob 32 of the screw member 3 is pulled forward (pulled to the right in FIG. 3). At this time, the screw member 3 moves (to the right in FIG. 3), and the screw shaft portion 31 is exposed from the main body frame 1. Since the screwing is released, the moving side frame 2 does not move. Therefore, the interval L does not change.
(This operation can be easily performed in a short time because the knob 32 is simply pulled between the hands without rotating the tightening screw.)

・取り外し手順(3)
レバー5の他方の端部の押圧を止めて、ネジ部材3とレバー5を螺合した状態でネジ部材3のノブ32を軸方向に(図3では右側から左側に)押し込み、移動側フレーム2を(図3では右側から左側に)移動させ、間隔Lを浴槽側壁に厚み幅の1.5倍程度に拡げる。
(この作業は、締め込みネジを回動することなく、ノブ32を軸方向に押し込むことにより、移動側フレーム2の水平部位2bを狭持部材11の水平部位11b上でスライドさせるだけであるから、一気に短時間で容易に行える。)
・ Removal procedure (3)
The other end of the lever 5 is stopped pressing, and the knob 32 of the screw member 3 is pushed in the axial direction (from the right side to the left side in FIG. 3) while the screw member 3 and the lever 5 are screwed together. (In FIG. 3, from the right side to the left side), the interval L is expanded to about 1.5 times the thickness width on the bathtub side wall.
(In this operation, the horizontal portion 2b of the moving side frame 2 is simply slid on the horizontal portion 11b of the holding member 11 by pushing the knob 32 in the axial direction without rotating the tightening screw. , Can be done easily in a short time.)

・取り外し手順(4):
入浴用補助具の適当な部位を数箇所で把持して、クランプ機構を浴槽側壁から引き上げる。クランプ機構が取り外された浴槽には蓋をすることができる。
(間隔Lがすでに大きいので、引き上げる途中で狭持部材のライナーなどが浴槽側壁に張り付いて作業を中断することを避けることができる。また、取り外し手順において、作業者は移動側フレーム2の垂直部位2aを把持する必要がないから、浴槽内の湯に手を漬けなくてすむ。)
-Removal procedure (4):
Hold the appropriate part of the bathing aid in several places and pull up the clamp mechanism from the bathtub side wall. The bathtub from which the clamp mechanism has been removed can be covered.
(Since the distance L is already large, it can be avoided that the liner of the holding member sticks to the side wall of the bathtub during the pulling up and interrupts the operation. (Since there is no need to grasp the part 2a, it is not necessary to immerse your hands in the hot water in the bathtub.)

以上の実施形態では、2基の本体フレームと2基の移動側フレームをそなえるクランプ機構であるが、1基の本体フレームと1基の移動側フレームを備え、1基の本体フレームで1つの狭持部材を支持し、1基の移動側フレームで1つの狭持部材を支持する入浴用補助具のクランプ機構としても、浴槽側壁を狭持できることは明らかである。このような実施形態は入浴補助具として手摺を取り付ける場合に適している。
あるいは、2基の本体フレーム1がそれぞれ1つの狭持部材を支持し、かつ2基の移動側フレームのそれぞれが1つの狭持部材を支持する入浴用補助具のクランプ機構としても同様であり、浴槽側壁を狭持できることは明らかである。
In the above embodiment, the clamp mechanism includes two main body frames and two moving side frames. However, the main body frame includes one main body frame and one moving side frame. It is clear that the bathtub side wall can also be held as a clamping mechanism of the auxiliary bathing tool that supports the holding member and supports one holding member with one moving side frame. Such an embodiment is suitable when attaching a handrail as a bathing aid.
Alternatively, the two main body frames 1 each support one holding member, and each of the two moving-side frames also supports a clamping mechanism of a bathing auxiliary tool that supports one holding member, It is clear that the bathtub side wall can be held.
