Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of an accident and to enable execution of a bath in orientation suited for a body state, by a method wherein a chair made of a water resistant and corrosion resistant material is placed during a bath, each node part of the chair is easily bent at a specified angle, and a balance of orientation due to buoyancy is held by means of a foothold part. CONSTITUTION:A bathing person seats on a chair used during bathing placed during bathing, and arm rest parts 8 are raised upward. The arm rest parts 8 are formed such that two arms are rested thereon, and a distance between arm rests on both sides is freely changeable. An angle at which a back rest part 1 is fallen backward along with raising of the arm rest parts 8 is set to a value lower than 30 deg.. A hip part 2 is only longitudinally slid within a support bed 7, and a nip angle between the support bed part 7 and a croch seat part 3 is rotated in a 30 deg. arc centering around a boundary line 10 between the hip part 2 and a knee seat part 3 and rotated around a boundary line 11 between the croch seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4, and a node part is rotated in an arc of a nip angle of 150 deg.-180 deg. formed between the croch seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4. Further, a foothold part 6 is rotated around a central fixed part 12 and lifted frontward upward from a containing groove formed in a foot seat part 5. The foothold part 6 prevents the occurrence of an unbalance of orientation due to buoyancy of a bathing person.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) In the present invention, each node rotates within a certain range.

This invention relates to a bath chair that can be used in a bath.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in multipurpose bath facilities, bathers who use small baths with relatively high water pressure loads have, for example, had circulatory system diseases or have consumed alcohol, etc., resulting in increased cardiac load. Use when In such a case, the depth of the bath water must be made as shallow as possible, resulting in a lying bath type bath.

In the case of a lying bath, fill the bathtub with relatively shallow water, place your head on the edge of the bathtub, lie on your back, and take a quiet bath.

In cases other than multi-purpose bath facilities, there are several types of bathtubs, but the water level is lowered and bathers lie on their backs to take a bath.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the case of a sleeping bath type bath in the conventional multipurpose bath facility,
Even if the water level is set low, the body parts buried in the bath are affected by the buoyant force, making it difficult to maintain posture control even when subjected to extremely small external forces, and sometimes even the head is submerged in the bath. They have the disadvantage of being highly dangerous as they can become buried in water and swallow bath water. Furthermore, the bather cannot change his or her body posture, and cannot expect to feel relaxed by changing his or her posture while taking a bath.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a chair made of water-resistant and corrosion-resistant material that is installed in a bath, each joint of the chair being easily bent at a certain angle, and having a footrest. It utilizes the ability to maintain postural balance due to buoyancy, and consists of the following means:

A first invention provides a chair made of a water-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, which comprises a backrest, a buttocks seat, a thigh seat, a knee seat, and a foot seat. The 11i joints of the seat are in contact with each other, tilt backward within 30 degrees around the boundary line between the two parts mentioned above, and fold down into the support base part around the boundary line between the buttocks seat part and the thigh seat part. The included angle of the thigh seat part is bent within 30° upward, the included angle of the thigh seat part and knee seat part is bent 150° to 180° downward about the boundary line between the thigh seat part and the knee seat part, and the footrest part can be rotated around the central fixed part, and can also be rotated forward and stored in the storage groove where the footrest can be stored when folded down. It was adopted to operate by.

In the second invention, the material is stainless steel, titanium,
We adopted the fact that it is made of shelf fat and wood.

(effect) The effect will be explained with reference to figures.

The bather is seated on the bathing chair placed in the bath, and the armrest 8
When the backrest part 1 is raised upward, the backrest part 1 falls backward, the thigh seat part 3 bends in the E direction around the boundary line 10 between the thigh seat part 3 and the buttocks seat part 2, and the thigh seat part 3 and the support base part 7 An included angle is formed between the thigh seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4, and an included angle is formed between the thigh seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4 by bending around the boundary line 11 between the thigh seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4. Furthermore, the foothold part 6 installed on the foot seat part 5 rotates around the center fixing part 12,
Get up from the storage groove. The above-mentioned footrest 6 is for maintaining the balance of the bathing posture by the buoyancy effect of the bath water.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a backrest part, and 2 is a buttocks seat part, which can be rotated within a certain angle around a boundary line 9 between the backrest part 1 and the buttocks seat part 2.

That is, the backrest portion 1 is designed to be tilted backwards up to 30@. 3 is a thigh seat, and 4 is a knee seat, which can be bent by a rotation angle of 150° to 180'' around the boundary between the thigh seat 3 and the knee seat 4.5 is a foot seat. , 6 is a footrest, 7 is a support base, 8 is an armrest, and 13 is a storage groove.

The bathing chair constructed as described above is used as follows.

A bather (not shown) sits on the bath chair installed in the bath and raises the armrest 8 upward. In this case, armrest 8
Both armrests can be rested on, and the spacing between the left and right armrests can be easily changed, and preferably, the spacing between the armrests can be adjusted to match the shoulder width of the bather. That's good. Next, as the armrest 8 rises, the backrest 1 falls backward. The tilting angle of the backrest portion 1 was set to within 30°. Therefore, 3
The inclination angle can be set continuously within 0".The butt seat 2 only slides back and forth within the support base 7, and is supported around the boundary line 10 between the butt seat 2 and the thigh seat 3. The included angle between the base part 7 and the thigh seat part 3 rotates within 30 degrees, and the thigh seat part 3 and the knee seat part 4
The joint portion rotates around the boundary line 11 of , and the above-mentioned joint portion rotates within an included angle formed by the thigh seat portion 3 and the knee seat portion 4 in the range of 150° to 180°. Furthermore, the footrest part 6 rotates around the central fixing part 12 and is pulled up forward from the storage groove installed in the footrest part 5. The footrest 6 mentioned above is for eliminating postural imbalance caused by the bather's buoyancy, and when the armrest 8 is lowered as shown in FIG. There is.

Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above,
It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but that many improvements can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

(Effects) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it exhibits the following outstanding effects.

(b) In lying-down baths used in multi-purpose bath facilities, etc., it is possible to prevent accidents such as drinking bath water or twisting the waist due to buoyancy, which makes it impossible to maintain balance in the posture even with extremely small external forces.

(b) In the chair according to the present invention, the backrest part and the lower body move simultaneously, and the reclining angle can be freely controlled, so that the user can take a bath in a posture that suits his or her body condition.

(c) Since the spacing between the left and right armrests can be easily changed, it can accommodate bathers of all sizes.

(d) By using water-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, it can be applied to bathing water of any water quality.
