The non-slip lifting slope section _A2 allows infants to crawl or walk in and out of the deep water bathtub _A1 by using the non-slip lifting slope surfaces 2b on both sides as if climbing or descending a slope. In addition, consideration was given to training the legs and hips of young children, and a slide surface 2a was provided to arouse the curiosity of young children and allow them to play by sliding down from the landing _A4 toward the shallow water bath _A3 . This is what I did.

Shallow water bath A ₃ is suitable for children from 2 years old and up, as well as for children from 2 years old and up.
It is connected to the lower end of the anti-slip ascending/descending slope section _A2 and is deep enough for a 3-year-old child to take a bath while sitting. Reference numeral 3 in the figure indicates anti-slip ridges provided on the bottom of the deep water bath _A1 , the step 2, the landing _A4 , the ascending and descending slope surface 2b, and the bottom of the shallow water bath _A3 .

Lifting handrail rod 1 is a lifting slope part with anti-slip
It is designed so that young children who are unable to climb up and down the ascending/descending slope surface 2b alone, such as 2- _to 3-year-old children, can use it to climb up and down the ascending/descending slope surface 2b while grasping it. This is to be used as a protective fence to prevent people from falling from the lifting slope surface _2b to the ground surface. Uprights on _both sides in the length direction of the device main body A are formed to protrude continuously from the upper opening edge of the water bathtub _A1 to the upper opening edge of the shallow water bathtub _A3 via the both side edges of the anti-slip lifting slope section A2. They are installed and installed on the upper surface of the edge 4 so that they can be inserted and removed.

Although various structures for attaching and detaching the lifting handrail rod 1 to the main body A of the device can be considered, in the case of the present invention, the structures shown in Figs. 3 and 6 are considered.

The water return surface part 17 is formed by raising the tank walls 1a of the other three sides from the tank wall _1a of the deep-bottom water bath A1 in which the step 2 is formed, and has a non-slip lifting mechanism for the deep-bottom water bath _A1 . It works to prevent bath water from overflowing from the other three sides except one side of slope part _A2 .

The grip part 19 is formed in an upwardly tapered shape at the upper end of the water return surface part 17, and can be grasped by the hand of an infant during bathing.

The storage surface section 18 is formed by extending outwardly from the upper end of the water return surface section 17 via a grip section 19 so that small items such as toys can be placed thereon, and may be horizontally shaped, recessed, stepped, or as shown in the figure. The shape may be arbitrary, such as downwardly curved.

The attendant opening 20 is provided so that an attendant such as a teacher or daycare worker can kneel and lean out at a desired position on the upper edge surface of the deep water bathtub A ₁ , that is, on the outside of the storage surface 18. Form a recess with a length slightly longer than the width. It should be noted that the attendant opening 20 may optionally be designed so that the boundary between the lower surface and the apron surface 21 is curved so that the attendant can take a comfortable posture.

The anti-curl surface 22 is an access mat 2 that is placed on a drainboard 23 that is placed on the ground in contact with the entrance of the classroom so that one can go down directly from the classroom and take a bath.
4 This is to prevent the tip from warping, and the apron surface 21 of the shallow water bath A ₃ is curved into an arc in the direction away from the shallow water bath A ₃ as it goes downwards, as shown in the figure. In this way, the tip of the entry/exit mat 24 is made to fit in such a way that it does not warp, thereby preventing it from getting caught on the child's toes due to the warping.

It goes without saying that water is supplied to the deep water bathtub _A1 and the shallow water bathtub _A3 by a desired means such as a water supply, and that a drain port is provided and a drain pipe is connected.

In addition, the above-mentioned water return surface portion 17 and storage surface portion 1
8. It is not necessary to intentionally form the grip part 19, the support opening 20, and the anti-curving surface 22, and the water return surface part 17, storage surface part 18, grip part 19,
The present invention is also applicable to a bathing device for infants which is not provided with the attendant opening 20 and the anti-curl surface 22.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the present invention consists of a deep-bottomed water bath formed to a desired depth, and a non-slip lifting slope connected to the bottom from one side of the opening edge of the deep-bottomed water bath in a downwardly sloping manner. A shallow water bath connected to the lower end of the non-slip lifting slope part is integrally molded, and both sides of the non-slip lifting slope part extend from the opening edge of the deep water bath to the opening edge of the shallow water bath. Since the vertical rod of the lifting handrail rod is removably attached to the vertical lever and the lifting handrail rod is installed vertically, it is possible to ensure safety when lifting and lowering the anti-slip lifting slope section. During the off-season, the elevator handrail can be removed and stored. In detail, it can be stored leaning against the wall of a storeroom, etc., so it can be stored and managed without taking up storage space.
In addition to being simple, the lifting handrail rod itself will not be damaged or bent or deformed during storage. Moreover, it is possible to increase the number of items that can be loaded onto transport vehicles when transporting them to customers.

In addition, we have installed an anti-slip lifting slope that allows kindergarten and nursery school children to play as if they were climbing up and down a small mountain or slope. It also helps train your lower back.

Furthermore, by making the handrail rods for climbing up and down removable, 2- to 3-year-old nursery school children can use the handrail rods for physical training, and 4-year-old children can be safely trained without using the handrail rods. Kindergarten children as young as 5 years old can be given effective physical training without having to use handrails. In other words, it is also possible to use them differently depending on the age group.

Thus, the intended purpose can be achieved.
