Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-061468

The present invention has been made based on the recognition of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom equipped with a shower bar device that allows more comfortable bathing.

A first invention is a wall panel, a wash counter attached to a wall surface of the wall panel, and a wash counter attached to the wall surface above the wash counter, and discharges water toward the wash counter. A faucet device that switches the water stoppage of the water discharge part and the water stoppage of the shower head that discharges water from the sprinkler plate toward the user, and extends vertically above the wash counter with respect to the wall surface. A shower bar that is attached in a state, a shower bar that has a holding portion that detachably holds the shower head, and a shower hook that is slidably attached to the shower bar in the vertical direction. The shower bar has a diameter that can be gripped by one hand of the user, and faces the front side with respect to the wall surface such that a gap between the wall and the wall gradually increases downward from an upper end portion thereof. It has a convex curved shape and is installed at a position where the user sitting in front of the washbasin can grasp it with one hand, and the holding portion of the shower hook holds the showerhead at an angle. Is adjustable in the vertical direction, and the shower head is changed in the vertical direction when the shower hook is moved in the vertical direction along the shower bar, and the shower head is moved by the holding portion. A bathroom equipped with a shower bar device configured such that the direction of the water spray plate changes vertically even if the holding angle is adjusted.

According to this, the shower bar is configured such that the lower end thereof is located further forward than the upper end apart from the wall surface of the wall panel, and if the user seated on the chair in front of the washbasin extends his hand. It is designed so that you can hold it. Therefore, when the user stands up from the sitting posture, the lower region of the shower bar can be easily grasped in a comfortable posture.

Then, when the user sitting on the chair stands up, the user's body gradually approaches the wall surface. On the other hand, the shower bar is configured such that the gap between the wall panel and the wall surface of the wall panel gradually increases from the upper end portion downward. In other words, the gap between the shower bar and the wall surface becomes smaller from the lower end toward the wall surface. The user who tries to stand up from the sitting posture gradually grasps the upper position of the shower bar, that is, the position close to the wall surface, which gradually approaches the wall surface according to the standing posture. Therefore, the shower bar can be provided with a function as a handrail suitable for the motion of the user trying to stand up.

In addition, when the user is sitting on the chair, the upper body of the user is located farther from the shower bar than when the user stands up. According to this shower bar device, the shower bar moves the holding portion forward as the shower hook moves downward. Therefore, in the "state in which the shower hook is at the bottom" used by the user sitting on a chair or the like, the holding portion holding the shower head moves forward as compared with the "state in which the shower hook is at the top". As a result, the shower head can be brought close to the upper body of the user who has moved backward by sitting on a chair or the like, and water can be easily applied to the upper body of the seated user. As a result, it is possible to comfortably take a bath in the seated state.

Further, in the “state in which the shower hook is above” used by the user standing up, the holding portion holding the shower head moves rearward as compared with the “state in which the shower hook is below”. Accordingly, for example, when the user stands up from the state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to prevent the shower head from coming too close to the upper half of the body of the user who has moved forward due to the standing up. As a result, even when the user stands up from a state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to make it easier to apply water to the upper half of the body of the user and comfortably take a bath.

Furthermore, the shower head can change the water discharge direction from the water spray plate up and down as the shower hook moves up and down along the shower bar, and adjust the angle of the holding portion that holds the shower head up and down. The water discharge direction from the water spray plate can also be changed vertically. Therefore, depending on the posture and physique of the user, the user can bathe in water more comfortably whether the user is sitting on a chair or standing up.

A second invention is the shower bar apparatus according to the first invention, wherein the shower bar has a round bar shape, and the shower hook is attached to the shower bar so as to be rotatable in a horizontal direction. It is a equipped bathroom.

According to this, the water discharge angle from the water spray plate can be freely changed to the left and right while the shower head is stably held by the shower hook.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shower bar device that allows more comfortable bathing.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
3A and 3B are cross-sectional views schematically showing the shower hook according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the shower hook 22 of the shower bar device 10 has a holding portion 30 that detachably holds the shower head 14, and a hook body 32. Further, the mounting portion 34 and the lock mechanism 36 are further provided.

The hook body 32 extends in the horizontal direction. In other words, the hook body 32 extends in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the shower bar 20. The extending direction of the hook body 32 is not limited to the strictly horizontal direction. The extending direction of the hook body 32 may have at least a component extending in the horizontal direction.

The holding portion 30 is provided on one end side of the hook body 32. The holding portion 30 is, for example, a substantially U-shaped member having a recess 30a corresponding to the shape of the handle portion 14b of the shower head 14. The holding portion 30 detachably holds the shower head 14 by inserting the tapered handle portion 14b of the shower head 14 into the recess 30a from above and engaging the handle portion 14b with the recess 30a.

The hook body 32 supports the holding unit 30 rotatably about a horizontal axis. Further, the hook body 32 has a latch mechanism 38 for holding the holding portion 30 at a predetermined rotation angle. As a result, the angle of the shower head 14 about the horizontal direction can be adjusted. For example, it is possible to adjust that the water is discharged downward from the shower head 14 or slightly discharged toward the front side.

The latch mechanism 38 has a plunger 38a and a coil spring 38b. The plunger 38a is provided inside the hook body 32 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The coil spring 38b biases the plunger 38a to the front side.

The holding portion 30 has a plurality of groove portions 30b on the back side for adjusting the rotation angle. The plunger 38a is provided between the holding portion 30 and the coil spring 38b, and is pressed against the holding portion 30 by the biasing force of the coil spring 38b, so that the plunger 38a engages with any one of the plurality of groove portions 30b provided on the back surface side of the holding portion 30. To meet.

In this way, the rotation angle of the holding portion 30 is held by the engagement between the groove portion 30b and the plunger 38a. Then, by applying a force to the holding portion 30 to rotate the holding portion 30 against the biasing force of the coil spring 38b and engage the plunger 38a with another groove portion 30b, the rotation angle of the holding portion 30 can be adjusted. You can In other words, the water discharge angle of the shower head 14 can be adjusted.

The configuration of the latch mechanism 38 is not limited to the above configuration. The structure of the latch mechanism 38 may be any structure that can hold the holding unit 30 at a predetermined rotation angle.

The attachment portion 34 is used for attachment to the shower bar 20. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 via the attachment portion 34. The mounting portion 34 is provided on the other end side of the hook body 32 (the side opposite to the holding portion 30). The mounting portion 34 has a through-hole shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the shower bar 20. The shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 by inserting the shower bar 20 into the attachment portion 34. The shape of the attachment portion 34 is not limited to the through hole shape, and may be, for example, a groove shape. The shape of the attachment portion 34 may be any shape that allows the shower hook 22 to be attached to the shower bar 20.

The lock mechanism 36 is a mechanism for holding the shower hook 22 at an arbitrary vertical position with respect to the shower bar 20. The lock mechanism 36 has, for example, a movable portion 40 and a coil spring 42.

The movable portion 40 is supported by the hook body 32 so as to be vertically movable. As a result, the movable portion 40 moves between the initial position shown in FIG. 3A and the pressing position shown in FIG. 3B. The pressed position is a position that is pressed downward from the initial position.

The coil spring 42 biases the movable portion 40 upward. The movable portion 40 is held in the initial position by being biased by the coil spring 42 and engaging with the hook body 32.

The movable unit 40 has an operation unit 40a. The operation portion 40a projects upward from the hook body 32 in a state where the movable portion 40 is held at the initial position. The movable part 40 moves from the initial position to the pressed position by pressing the operation part 40a and pushing it downward against the biasing force of the coil spring 42.

In addition, in the state in which the movable portion 40 is in the initial position, a part of the movable portion 40 is inserted into the mounting portion 34 and abuts on the shower bar 20 inserted into the mounting portion 34. The movable portion 40 presses the shower bar 20 with the biasing force of the coil spring 42, and sandwiches the shower bar 20 together with the attachment portion 34. As a result, when the movable portion 40 is in the initial position, the shower hook 22 is held at a predetermined vertical position with respect to the shower bar 20 by the frictional force caused by the pressing of the shower bar 20.

The movable portion 40 has, for example, an elastic body 44. For the elastic body 44, for example, rubber or the like is used. The coefficient of friction of the elastic body 44 is larger than the coefficient of friction of the main body portion of the movable portion 40 made of a hard resin material such as plastic. In the state in which the movable portion 40 is in the initial position, the elastic body 44 is brought into contact with the shower bar 20 by inserting the elastic body 44 into the mounting portion 34. As a result, the frictional force generated between the movable portion 40 and the shower bar 20 can be increased, and the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be held more reliably.

When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the movable portion 40 moves downward and moves away from the mounting portion 34. The movable portion 40 slides obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the mounting portion 34 to move in a direction away from the mounting portion 34.

When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the movable portion 40 retracts from the mounting portion 34. When the movable portion 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the elastic body 44 retracts from the mounting portion 34. As a result, when the movable section 40 moves from the initial position to the pressing position, the movable section 40 releases the state in which the shower bar 20 is sandwiched together with the attachment section 34. Therefore, when the movable portion 40 is moved to the pressing position, the shower hook 22 can be moved vertically along the shower bar 20.

Thus, in the shower hook 22, the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be adjusted by holding the hook main body 32 and pressing the operation portion 40a to move the movable portion 40 to the pressing position. Then, by releasing the pressing of the operating portion 40a and moving the movable portion 40 to the initial position, the shower hook 22 can be held at the adjusted position. Thereby, the shower hook 22 can be arranged at any position in the vertical direction with respect to the shower bar 20. Therefore, in the shower bar device 10, the shower head 14 can be arranged at the height desired by the user.

The configuration of the lock mechanism 36 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration capable of holding the shower hook 22 with respect to the shower bar 20 at any vertical position.

FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are side views schematically showing the shower bar device according to the embodiment.
FIG. 4A schematically shows a state in which the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20. FIG. 4B schematically shows the state where the shower hook 22 is located at the lowest position with respect to the shower bar 20.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the shower bar 20 includes a bar body 50, an upper support portion 52, and a lower support portion 54. The bar body 50 has a rod shape extending in the vertical direction. The bar body 50 has a round bar shape. The shower bar device 10 is attached to the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 in a state where the bar-shaped bar body 50 is substantially vertical when viewed from the front side.

However, the shower bar device 10 may be attached to the wall surface 11a in a state where the bar main body 50 is tilted left and right when viewed from the front side. The bar main body 50 may be attached to the wall surface 11a in a state of extending at least in the vertical direction. The inferior angle formed by the extending direction of the bar body 50 and the vertical direction is, for example, 45° or less. Accordingly, the vertical position of the shower hook 22 can be properly adjusted.

The attachment portion 34 of the shower hook 22 has a through-hole shape having a substantially circular cross section corresponding to the round bar-shaped bar body 50. As a result, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable in the horizontal direction around the shower bar 20. In the shower bar device 10, the water discharged from the shower head 14 can be discharged not only in the front direction but also in the diagonal right direction or the diagonal left direction by rotating the shower hook 22. Therefore, the usability of the shower bar device 10 can be further improved.

The configuration in which the shower hook 22 is rotatable around the shower bar 20 is not limited to the above, and may be any configuration. The cross-sectional shapes of the bar body 50 and the attachment portion 34 do not necessarily have to be circular.

The upper support portion 52 supports the upper end of the bar body 50. One end of the upper support portion 52 is attached to the wall surface 11 a of the wall panel 11. The upper support portion 52 extends forward from the wall surface 11a and supports the upper end of the bar body 50 at the other end side. The lower support portion 54 supports the lower end of the bar body 50. One end of the lower support portion 54 is attached to the wall surface 11 a of the wall panel 11. The lower support portion 54 extends forward from the wall surface 11a and supports the lower end of the bar body 50 at the other end side.

The bar main body 50 is held by the upper support portion 52 and the lower support portion 54 in a state of being separated from the wall surface 11a. Accordingly, the shower hook 22 can be attached to the bar body 50 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable in the horizontal direction around the shower bar 20, and the bar body 50 can be easily gripped as a handrail. ..

The front-rear length of the lower support portion 54 is longer than the front-rear length of the upper support portion 52. In other words, the amount of protrusion of the lower support portion 54 from the wall surface 11a to the front is larger than the amount of protrusion of the upper support portion 52 from the wall surface 11a to the front. As a result, the upper support portion 52 and the lower support portion 54 support the bar body 50 so that the lower end side is located ahead of the upper end side.

By supporting the bar main body 50 as described above, the shower bar 20 moves the holding portion 30 forward as the shower hook 22 moves downward. In other words, the shower hook 22 moves forward as it goes downward. In addition, in the specification of the present application, “front” is a direction in which the wall surface 11 a of the wall panel 11 faces.

The bar body 50 is curved so as to be convex toward the front side. Accordingly, the bar body 50 can be supported so that the lower end side is located ahead of the upper end side. In other words, the gap between the bar main body 50 and the wall surface 11a is configured to gradually increase from the upper end of the bar main body 50 downward. Further, the lower end side of the bar main body 50 is closer to the vertical than the upper end side of the bar main body 50, and the bar main body 50 is curved so as to go backward as it goes upward. As a result, the shower bar 20 increases the amount of rearward movement of the holding portion 30 according to the unit height as the shower hook 22 moves upward. That is, by bending the bar main body 50 as described above, the lower side of the bar main body 50 can be moved in the front-back direction along with the vertical movement of the shower hook 22 as compared with the upper side of the bar main body 50. The amount of movement can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20, the holding portion 30 is located in front of the lower end 20 a of the shower bar 20.

As described above, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable about the shower bar 20. When the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position and the shower hook 22 is located in front of the shower bar 20, the holding portion 30 is located in front of the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20. Located in. Here, “the holding portion 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20 ”in other words, the holding portion 30 overlaps the shower bar 20 when viewed from the front side.

Drawing 5 (a) and Drawing 5 (b) are side views showing the bathroom concerning an embodiment typically.
As shown in FIG. 5A, when the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20, the holding portion 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the wash counter 12.

The holding unit 30 positions the shower hook 22 at the uppermost position with respect to the shower bar 20 and rotates the shower hook 22 so that the holding unit 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20. Is located rearward of the front end 12b.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the holding portion 30 is located rearward of the front end 12b of the wash counter 12 even when the shower hook 22 is located at the lowest position with respect to the shower bar 20. .. The holding unit 30 positions the shower hook 22 at the lowermost position with respect to the shower bar 20, and also when the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the holding unit 30 is located in front of the shower bar 20, the wash counter 22. 12 is located rearward of the front end 12b.

When the user is seated on a chair or the like installed in the bathroom 2, the upper half of the body is located farther from the shower bar 20 than when the user stands up (see FIG. 5). According to the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10 according to the present embodiment, the shower bar 20 moves the holding portion 30 forward as the shower hook 22 moves downward. Therefore, in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is in the lower side" used by the user sitting on a chair or the like, the holding portion 30 holding the shower head 14 is in the front side compared to in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is in the upper side". Move to. As a result, the shower head 14 can be brought closer to the upper half of the body of the user who has moved backward by sitting on a chair or the like, and as shown in FIG. By adjusting the water discharge angle of, the water can be easily applied to the upper half of the body of the seated user. As a result, it is possible to comfortably take a bath in the seated state.

Further, in the “state in which the shower hook 22 is above” used when the user stands up, the holding portion 30 holding the shower head 14 moves rearward as compared with the “state in which the shower hook 22 is below”. .. Accordingly, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the user stands up from a state of sitting on a chair or the like, the shower head 14 approaches the upper half of the body of the user who has moved forward by standing up. It can be suppressed from passing. As a result, even when the user stands up from a state of sitting on a chair or the like, it is possible to make it easier to apply water to the upper half of the body of the user and comfortably take a bath. For example, by rotating the holding unit 30 and adjusting the water discharge angle of the shower head 14, water can be discharged from above the user toward the whole body of the user like an overhead shower. Further, the shower head 14 can change the water discharge direction from the water spray plate 14w up and down as the shower hook 22 moves up and down along the shower bar 20, and the angle of the holding portion 30 holding the shower head 14 can be changed. The water discharge direction from the water spray plate 14w can also be changed to the vertical direction by adjusting the vertical direction. Therefore, depending on the posture and physique of the user, the user can bathe in water more comfortably whether the user is sitting on a chair or standing up.

Further, the shower bar 20 is configured such that the lower end portion thereof is located further forward than the upper end portion apart from the wall surface 11 a of the wall panel 11, and the user sitting on the chair in front of the washbasin 12 can extend the hand. If you can hold it. Therefore, when the user stands up from the sitting posture, the lower region of the shower bar 20 can be grasped in a comfortable posture.
Then, when the user sitting on the chair stands up, the body of the user gradually approaches the wall surface 11a. On the other hand, in the shower bar 20, the clearance between the shower bar 20 and the wall surface 11a of the wall panel 11 is gradually increased from the upper end portion downward. In other words, the gap with the wall surface 11a becomes smaller as it goes upward from the lower end portion of the shower bar 20, so that the bar body 50 of the shower bar 20 approaches the wall surface 11a. Therefore, the position of the hand holding the shower bar 20 by the user who tries to stand up from the sitting posture changes to the upper side, and as the position of the user's body gradually approaches the wall surface 11a, the position of the hand holding the shower bar 20 also increases. It gradually approaches the wall surface 11a. Therefore, it is possible to provide a function as a handrail suitable for assisting the stand-up motion of the user who tries to stand up.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the shower bar 20 increases the amount of rearward movement of the holding unit 30 according to the unit height as the shower hook 22 moves upward. As a result, when the height of the shower hook 22 is finely adjusted in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is in the lower position" used by the user sitting on a chair or the like, the holding portion 30 moves back and forth more than necessary. The height of the shower hook 22 can be easily adjusted. In addition, by increasing the amount of rearward movement of the holding portion 30 in the "state in which the shower hook 22 is in the upper position" used when the user stands up, the user stands up from the state where the user sits on a chair or the like. At this time, it is possible to more appropriately prevent the shower head 14 from coming too close to the upper half of the body of the user who has moved forward due to standing up.

In addition, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the holding portion 30 is located in front of the lower end 20 a of the shower bar 20 when the shower hook 22 is located at the highest position. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is located at the highest position, it is possible to prevent the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 from becoming an obstacle and making it difficult for the shower head 14 held by the holding portion 30 to be gripped. Further, when the user uses the standing up state, it is possible to prevent the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 from getting in the way, and it is possible to comfortably bathe in water at a proper position.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the shower hook 22 is attached to the shower bar 20 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable about the shower bar 20, and the holding unit 30 holds the shower hook 22 most. When the shower hook 22 is rotated so as to be positioned above and the holding portion 30 is positioned in front of the shower bar 20, the shower hook 22 is positioned ahead of the lower end 20 a of the shower bar 20. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is made rotatable, the lower end 20a of the shower bar 20 becomes an obstacle and the shower head 14 held by the holding portion 30 becomes difficult to grip. Can be suppressed.

In addition, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, the holding portion 30 is located behind the front end 12b of the washbasin counter 12 when the shower hook 22 is located at the highest position. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is located at the uppermost position, it is possible to prevent the shower hook 22 from disturbing the standing user's work such as washing the hair or washing the body. Therefore, it is possible to provide the bathroom 2 in which the water discharged from the shower head 14 can be more comfortably taken when the user is sitting on the chair or standing up.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, when the holding portion 30 positions the shower hook 22 at the uppermost position and the shower hook 22 is rotated so that the holding portion 30 is positioned in front of the shower bar 20. Further, it is located behind the front end 12b of the washbasin 12. As a result, even when the shower hook 22 is rotatable, it is possible to more reliably prevent the standing shower hook 22 from interfering with the standing user's work such as washing hair or washing the body.

Further, in the bathroom 2 and the shower bar device 10, since the holding portion 30 is located rearward of the front end 12b of the washbasin counter 12 even when the shower hook 22 is located at the lowest position, the shower hook 22 is a chair or the like. It is also possible to prevent the user sitting on the chair from disturbing the work such as washing the hair or washing the body.
