Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a bathtub in which an armrest is provided on the long side tub wall.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, the armrest has been provided in one half of the long side tank wall on the back wall side (
-70894 publication, Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-96750).

The width and length of the armrest are determined based on a standard-sized adult.

However, in the case of tall users, due to their long arms, the entire length of the arm cannot be placed on the armrest when leaning back, resulting in the hand being unsupported, or in a cramped position with the hand propped up from the wrist. was forced to
There are problems such as not being able to fully enjoy the relaxing feeling of taking a bath, and the problem that when transitioning from leaning back to taking out the bath, the user has to pull his hands back onto the armrest, making it troublesome to get up.

In addition, there is no footrest for those who wish to throw their feet up to enjoy a more relaxing bathing experience, and no consideration is given to the user's needs.

The technical problem of the present invention is to provide an armrest that can stably support the entire length of the user's arm regardless of the length of the arm, and can also be used as a leg rest to support the user's legs in a comfortable posture.

(Technical means) The technical means taken to achieve the above technical problem was to provide an armrest with an armrest surface of approximately the same width over the entire length of the long side tank wall, and to The backrest tank wall is formed into a gently sloping shape in which the mid-high portion and the upper end thereof are respectively located on the upper edge surface of the opposing short side tank wall.

(effect) The above technical means has the following effects.

The armrest, which is provided along the entire length of the long side tank wall and has an arm rest surface of approximately the same width, prevents users from having unnatural postures such as bending their wrists or bending their wrists, regardless of their body shape. Accept it in a stretched and stable state without forcing it.

The part of the armrest directly below the hand that is placed on the body while leaning back becomes a support part for the body when performing the action of taking out the tank.

The armrest portion adjacent to the shorter side tub wall facing the backrest tub wall can be used as a leg rest during bathing.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following advantages.

An armrest with an arm rest surface of approximately the same width is provided along the entire length of the long side tank wall, so users of any body type can rest stably with their arms extended, regardless of the length of their arms. You can enjoy the relaxing feeling of bathing.

By directly applying a force to the armrest part on which the hand is placed while leaning back, the user can get up and move, eliminating the need for unnecessary movements such as moving the hand when taking out the tank.

The armrest has an upwardly sloping shape that extends from the mid-high part of the backrest tank wall to the upper edge of the opposite short side tank wall, so only the heel can be rested on the armrest, so if you want to take a more relaxing bath. very effective.

In addition, since the upper end of the armrest protrudes upward from the bath water surface, even if you cannot recognize the part of the armrest that will be submerged in bath salts when entering the bath, you can predict its width, which prevents you from accidentally putting your feet on it and falling into the ditch. It is safe and can be prevented.

(Example) An example of implementing the present invention will be explained based on a drawing.The bathtub body is made of artificial marble, synthetic resin such as FRP,
This is a bathtub with an armrest, which is formed of enamel or the like, and has an opening periphery of a tub part 1 formed in a planar rectangular shape, and armrests 3 are provided on both long side tub walls 2 of the tub part 1. The long side tank wall 2 is formed by bulging inward of the tank part 1 over the entire length of the long side tank wall 2 in the longitudinal direction.

The armrest 3 is designed to allow the bather to rest their arms in a comfortable position while bathing.
One end in the length direction of the arm rest surface 3a is located at a substantially mid-high portion in the height direction of the backrest tank wall 2' on one side of the tank part 1,
The long side tank wall 2 is uniformly bulged inward of the tank part 1 so that the other end is located on the upper edge surface 4 of the opposing short side tank wall 2'' and is connected to the upper edge surface 4. The armrest 3 is formed with a gently sloping arm rest surface 3a having approximately the same width over its entire length (FIG. 2).

The backrest tank wall 2', on which the lower end of the arm resting surface 3a is located, has two walls that have different inclination angles with respect to an approximately mid-high portion in the height direction, that is, a location where the lower end of the arm resting surface 3a is continuously positioned. The backrest surface 5 has a stepped inclined surface shape,
The lumbar vertebrae are supported and pushed out inward of the bathtub part 1 even at the border which bends when the bather leans back, so that the bather can take a bath in a healthy posture with his back stretched. The angle of inclination of the lower part of the backrest surface 5 is approximately the same as the rising angle of the other tank walls 2, 2'', and the angle of inclination of the upper part is approximately the same as the angle of inclination of the conventionally known backrest surface. 6 in the figure is a drainage hole.

In the above embodiment, the armrest surface 3a of the armrest 3 is shown as having a slightly curved shape in the drawings, but the shape is not limited to this. It is also optional to form a shape that is inclined in a straight line from the mid-height part on the 5th side toward the upper edge surface 4 of the opposing short side tank wall 2''.
