Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a bathroom, which is particularly easy for elderly people, sick people, disabled people, etc. to take a bath, and easy to care for elderly people when taking a bath. It's about the bathroom.

[Prior Art and Problems] Conventionally, when a bathtub with a substantially square planar shape is used, for example as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-148294, one side wall of the bathtub is attached to the bathroom wall. They are installed closely together.

Further, even when a bathtub having a substantially rectangular planar shape as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-43563 is used, one long side wall is installed in close contact with the wall of the bathroom.

However, when one side wall of a bathtub with a substantially square planar shape is installed in close contact with the bathroom wall, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-148294, There is a problem in that the bather can only be cared for from the other side of the wall, which is not covered, and that sufficient care cannot be provided.

Furthermore, even when one long side wall of a bathtub with a substantially rectangular planar shape is installed in close contact with the bathroom wall, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-43563, the bathtub can only be accessed from one side of the bather. I have a problem where I can't provide care.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in conventional bathrooms, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a bathing device that can be accessed from both sides of the bather or, in some cases, from behind the bather. The goal is to provide a bathroom that can be used for nursing care from all three sides.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the bathroom of the present invention includes: 1. A bathtub with a substantially square planar shape is provided in a corner of the bathroom where two walls are substantially perpendicular to each other, and a pair of bathtubs with a substantially square planar shape are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The central axis between the side walls of the bathroom is oriented in an oblique direction that roughly bisects the angle between the two substantially perpendicular walls of the bathroom; A bathtub with a substantially oval planar shape is provided in a corner of the bathroom where the walls are substantially orthogonal, and the long axis of the bathtub with a planar shape of substantially oval is approximately 2 It is characterized by being oriented diagonally into equal parts.

In the present invention, as the bathtub having a substantially square planar shape, a bathtub having a substantially square or rectangular planar shape can be used.

Further, as the bathtub having a substantially oval planar shape, a bathtub having an oval or substantially rectangular planar shape with circular corners can be used, and the bathtub does not have to have a precise oval shape.

[Effect]

In the bathroom according to claim 1, a bathtub having a substantially square planar shape is provided in a corner of the bathroom where two walls are substantially orthogonal to each other, and the central axis between a pair of substantially parallel side walls of the bathtub having a substantially square planar shape is provided. Since it is oriented in an oblique direction that roughly bisects the angle between the two substantially perpendicular walls of the bathroom, the side walls on three sides protrude toward the center of the bathroom.

Further, in the bathroom according to claim 2, a bathtub having a substantially oval planar shape is provided at a corner of the bathroom where the two walls are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the long axis of the bathtub having a substantially oval planar shape is approximately parallel to the bathtub. Since it is oriented in an oblique direction that approximately bisects the angle between the two orthogonal walls, the long axis of the approximately oval bathtub is oriented toward the center of the bathroom.
