Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a bathtub in which the bottom of the bathtub body is divided into a seat bottom and a footrest bottom that is one step lower than the seat bottom.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there is a type bathtub disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 47-42983.

In this bathtub, the bottom of the bathtub body is divided into a seat bottom and a footrest bottom that is one step lower than the seat bottom, so that the user can bathe in a comfortable posture while sitting on the seat.

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional bathtub, there is no part to support the upper body (back), neck, and head of the bather.
Bathers are forced to take a bath with their backs stretched vertically, making it difficult to provide a more relaxing bathing experience.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) This invention was made in view of the conventional circumstances mentioned above, and its purpose is to provide a comfortable seated position where the upper body, neck, and head can be rested. The aim is to provide the most relaxing bathing experience possible.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the bathtub of the present invention has a seat bottom that connects the bottom of the bathtub body to the backrest surface, and a footrest bottom that is one step lower than the seat bottom. At the same time, a neck rest part is provided protruding from the upper edge surface of the backrest surface, the seat bottom is inclined toward the backrest surface, and the backrest surface is slightly curved toward the inside of the tank. In addition, the neck rest part is formed by bending the upper end of the neck rest surface formed by extending the backrest surface upwardly toward the upper edge surface, and furthermore, the neck rest part is formed by bending the upper end of the neck rest surface formed by extending the backrest surface upwardly, and furthermore, the neck rest part is formed by bending the upper end of the neck rest surface formed by extending the backrest surface upwardly, and furthermore, the neck rest part is formed by bending the upper end of the neck rest surface formed by extending the backrest surface upwardly. It is characterized by having a concave part that goes around the neck.

(Function) According to the present invention, a bather who is seated on the bottom of the stool naturally inclines the upper body toward the backrest surface, stretches the back muscles along the curve of the backrest surface, and places the neck on the neckrest surface. The user can naturally take a more relaxed posture by leaning back and having his or her head supported by the neck rest. At the same time, the head resting on the neck rest is supported by the recessed part to improve the sitting position.

<Example> An example of the implementation of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.The bathtub body A is made of a synthetic resin such as FRP, or a molded material such as stainless steel or enamel, and the opening periphery of the tub portion 1 is integrally formed into a roughly hexagonal planar shape. The tank bottom 5 is divided into a seat bottom 5a that is continuous with the backrest surface 2 and a footrest bottom 5b that is one step lower than the seat bottom 5a. A mounting portion 4 is provided protrudingly.

The footrest bottom 5b is formed so that one half of the bath bottom 5 is stepped downward and one step lower than the other half, that is, the bottom surface of the seat bottom 5a, so that the bather B can take a bath in a sitting position.

The bottom surface of the other half of the bath bottom 5 is a seat bottom 5a that is gradually sloped toward the backrest surface 2 side opposite to the footrest bottom 5b side, and both sides of the seat bottom 5a are filled with bath water. Footrest bottom 5 with drainage holes 7 for draining water
A drain groove 6 is recessed so that bath water quickly flows to the b side.

The backrest surface 2 is a bather B seated on the seat bottom 5a.
The tank part 1 is formed so as to be inclined to such an extent that the upper body is supported in a backwardly curved state, and to be slightly curved toward the inside of the tank part 1.

The neck rest part 4 protrudes toward the tank part 1 of the upper edge surface 3 so that the upper end of the neck rest surface 4a formed by extending the backrest surface 2 upward is bent in the direction of the upper edge surface 3. to form one piece. In addition, this neck rest part 4
A concave portion 4b is provided approximately in the center of the top surface 4' of the bather B, which extends around the neck of the bather B.
Support 1 and make it sit better.

Reference numerals 8 and 9 designate armrests and step portions that are formed in series with the tank walls on both long sides of the tank section 1, which is approximately dogleg-shaped in plan. It is a surface.

In the above embodiment, the opening shape of the tank 1 was formed to be approximately hexagonal in plan, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening shape of the tank 1 is generally rectangular in plan. That is reasonable.

According to the above configuration, the bather B who is seated on the seat bottom 5a naturally inclines his or her upper body in the two directions of the backrest surface 2, and stretches his/her back along the curved shape of the backrest surface 2 while using the neck rest. The user can take a bath while leaning his neck on the surface 4a and naturally assuming a more relaxed posture with his head supported by the neck rest part 4.

(Effect of the invention) Since the invention is constructed as explained above,
The user can take a bath while sitting on the bottom of the stool while naturally assuming a more relaxed posture with the upper body, neck, and head resting on the backrest surface and the neck rest, thereby realizing a more comfortable bathing that could not be achieved with a conventional bathtub.

Furthermore, the recess provided in the neck rest allows the bather's head to sit comfortably, thereby further improving the above effect.
