Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is based on the present invention, in which a caregiver lies supine on the bathtub section of the bathtub body and rests his or her head on the pillow section, and then uses the hair washing tub section adjacent to the pillow section. This paper relates to improvements to bathtubs in which people can wash their hair.

[Conventional technology]

A bathtub as shown in Fig. 4 is already in use as a bathtub suitable for bathing the sick and elderly and for washing their hair.

According to this, when a bather A, such as an elderly person or a physically handicapped person, lies on his or her back and takes a bath, a buttocks d protrudes from the bottom wall c of the bathtub body b of the bathtub body a. The user can lean against the backrest wall e with his buttocks in contact, place the back of his head on the pillow part f, and wash his hair in the hair washing structure g.

The above-mentioned butt pad d is certainly effective in preventing the buttocks from slipping and eliminating the risk of elderly people slipping into the bathtub part b, as well as the sense of anxiety, and is useful for caregivers when washing their bodies. It also has the advantage of being easier to perform.

However, since the butt rest d is fixed and the inclination angle of the butt rest surface d' is also constant, the inclination angle of the upper body is fixed, and as a result, it is desirable to bathe in a slightly more upright position. Or, conversely, by bathing in an upward position with your head lowered, you can adjust the depth of your soaking in the water, that is, you may want to bathe with your chest exposed, or you may want to bathe with your chest exposed. There was an inconvenience that made it difficult.

Note that h in FIG. 4 is a stretcher, and by operating the handle i of the stretcher h, the bather A who has been carried by the stretcher makes the human body support J by the net etc. hang down. None, so bather A
It is designed so that it can be lowered into the hot water in the bathtub part b, and in the figure k is the gripping rod,
l ₁ and l ₂ are crossbars, and m is a pulley.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional bathtubs, the present invention provides a sense of security by providing a buttock seat that can be rotated by a desired angle, rather than fixing the buttrest member. With this, the receiving angle of the buttocks can be arbitrarily adjusted by oneself, thereby making the posture during bathing freely variable, allowing bathing to the desired depth of water, and in some cases utilizing the rotation. The purpose is to make it easier to exercise while taking a bath.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention has been developed by lying supine on the bathtub part of the bathtub body, placing the back of the head on a pillow part connected to the bathtub part, and washing hair with a hair washing machine connected to the pillow part. In a bathtub in which a caregiver can wash hair in the bathtub, the bathtub section is spaced apart from the bottom floor on which the lower body is placed, and is located near the back wall. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub provided with a buttock seat support that is rotatable by a desired rotational angle by a rotation shaft provided in the width direction of the bathtub.

[Effect]

The bather rests his or her buttocks on the buttock support, which is rotatable by a rotating shaft provided in the width direction of the bathtub part, and the buttock support can be rotated and adjusted freely by the bather himself or by a caregiver. Therefore, the bather can adjust the sitting angle to either the upright position or the lying position to adjust the depth of immersion in the hot water as desired. By repeating the rotation operation of the buttock seat support, it is possible to exercise from the waist to the legs while taking a bath, and the rotation is regulated within the desired rotation angle range. Therefore, it does not pose any danger to bathers or make them feel anxious.

〔Example〕

To describe the present invention in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a bathtub body 2 mounted on a footrest 1 as in the conventional example has a bathtub section 3 and a shallower bottom. The hair washing tub part 4 is divided into right and left parts in the longitudinal direction by a pillow part 6 formed lower than the opening periphery 5, and 7 in the figure is a drainage pipe between the bathing tub part 3 and the hair washing tub part 4. The stretcher h shown in FIG. 4 is placed on the rim 5 of the opening.

Next, the above-mentioned bathtub section 3 also has a backrest wall 3a that is sloped so that it gradually becomes deeper from the pillow section 6, and a backrest wall 3a that is continuous with the wall 3a and gradually extends toward the feet of the bather A. In the present invention, the lower body placement bottom 3b is located near the backrest wall 3a, and a desired gap 3c is provided from the bottom 3b to the lower body placement bottom 3b. A buttock seat support 8 which is rotatable by a desired rotation angle is provided with a distance between the two.

That is, this buttock seat support 8 only needs to be rotatable by a rotating shaft 8a provided in the width direction of the bathtub section 3, and in the illustrated example, it is necessary to Several insertion grooves 10,1
0'... are arranged vertically, and bearing surfaces 10a, 10a' are formed on the lower edge thereof to rotatably receive the rotary shaft 8a, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the side wall 9, etc. From the bottom floor 3b to the rotating shaft 8a
may be provided protrudingly.

Furthermore, in the illustrated example, the seat support body 8b, which is formed integrally with the rotating shaft 8a, is formed in the shape of a triangular prism, and has a buttock support surface 8c on which the buttocks of the bather A are received as described later, and a buttock support surface 8c adjacent thereto. It is formed by a thigh support surface 8d, which is provided and the thighs come into contact with, and a lower surface 8e, which is spaced apart from the lower body mounting base 3b by the gap 3c as described above, and the lower surface 8e and the buttocks support surface 8 respectively.
c, rear corner portion 1 that is a continuous portion with the thigh receiving surface 8d;
1a and the front corner 11b are the lower body mounting bottom floor 3b.
By being able to freely strike the buttock seat support 8, the rotational limit of the buttock seat support 8 is regulated within a predetermined range.

Therefore, in order to use this to wash the body and hair of bather A, if the stretcher h is used as described above, after placing it on the bathtub body 2 as described above, handle the handle i. The human body support j is relaxed by the operation described in FIG. 1, and the bather A is lowered into the bathtub section 3 as shown in FIG. It will be placed and brought into contact.

Therefore, at this time, the buttock seat support 8 is rotated by its rotating shaft 8a, thereby changing the inclination angle of the support surface 8c and the pressing position of the buttocks, thereby maintaining the upper body in a relatively upright state. Then, try to expose the upper part of the body, such as the chest, from the water surface as much as possible, or conversely, make the buttock support surface 8c as close to vertical as possible, tilt the upper body, and do the following operations to submerge the body up to the neck in the hot water. The bather can assume the most desirable posture for himself or herself, and if the bather has a physical injury that makes it difficult for him or her to make such adjustments, the caregiver will help him or her take that posture.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the bather can adjust his or her posture as needed to easily obtain a supine position with the desired inclination, thereby enjoying an even more comfortable bathing experience. In addition to being able to adjust the depth of immersion in hot water,
In addition, by repeatedly rotating the buttock support, it becomes possible to easily continue exercising the lower body, especially while taking a bath.
