Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is suitable for elderly people and physically disabled people.
This invention relates to an auxiliary device that makes it easy and safe to get in and out of a bathtub when taking a bath.

Conventionally, unit baths and other bathtubs for general households have had small and deep bathtubs because the bathrooms were narrow. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for people with weak legs to step over the high bathtub frame to get in and out. So I either asked someone to lift me up, or I used a chair that matched the height of the bathtub. I also tried sloping the floor of the washing area to minimize the difference between it and the bathtub, but that didn't have much of an effect in a small bathroom. Recently, devices have appeared that use hydraulic or electric power to move the body up and down, but although they may seem efficient, they are large-scale devices that require space and manpower, and they cost a considerable amount of money. It was not used much.

The present invention has been devised to assist in bathing in the simplest, easiest and safest way in the above situations.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a rectangular seat with handles 1' and 1'' on both sides. On its back side, there are two protrusions a that serve as stoppers at 120 degree intervals along the outer periphery of the rotating part 2. , a' are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating part 2.
A protrusion b is provided at a corresponding position between a and a'.

Furthermore, suction cups c and c' are provided on both sides of the center of the bottom surface of the rotating part 2 for stabilizing the seat 1 on the frame edge of the bathtub.

Plate No. 3 is set between suction cups c and c', and both pieces are bent at right angles with an R, leaving a portion corresponding to the width of the bathtub frame in the center, and then folded at right angles with the bathtub frame in between. It consists of clamping pieces d and d' for stopping.

Furthermore, suction cups e and e' are provided on the inside of their tips to further ensure the stability of the seat 1 on the inner and outer walls of the bathtub.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a core rod that connects the seat 1 through the centers of the rotating portion 2 and the plate 3 having clamping pieces on both sides.

Incidentally, a fitting part f for two legs g and g' is provided on the outside of the clamping piece d. The ends of the legs are bent so as to face each other, and the feet are connected by rubber socks h to prevent slipping.

The fitting part f is composed of three pipes and can be adjusted according to the height of the bathtub.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when using it, first, the suction cups e and e' held by the clamping pieces d and d' are strongly attracted to the inner and outer walls of the bathtub frame with the tub frame in between.

Next, the rectangular seat 1 is placed diagonally so that its diagonal line is parallel to the plane of the bathtub frame, and pressed strongly to ensure that the suction cups c and c' are stably attracted.

The auxiliary legs g and g' are made to stand upright along the outer wall of the bathtub by inserting their bent ends into either pipe of the fitting part f from both sides in accordance with the height of the bathtub. At the same time, the rubber socks h under the feet are in close contact with the floor of the washroom, making them stable.

When taking a bath, hold onto the handles 1' and 1'' and sit down on the seat 1, then place both feet flat on the edge of the frame, and the movement of your weight will be transmitted to the rotating part 2, causing the seat 1 to move. ,
Since it has a stopper, it only rotates as much as necessary in the direction your body is facing, so you can easily and safely lower your legs into the bathtub. That is, by rotating the seat 1, the body can be easily moved in and out of the bathtub.

The present invention is easy to attach, remove, and move, so it is convenient when using a lid on a bathtub, and the product can be easily stored in a case because the legs can be removed during packaging and transportation.

Bathtubs with transfer tables, which have become common these days, have a part of the frame edge widened so that you can sit down. If the legs and clamping pieces of the present invention are removed and only the seat and rotating part are set on the transfer table, it will become an even easier and safer bathing aid.

It would be most ideal if a rotating seat with a handle was incorporated in the process of manufacturing a bathtub with a transfer stand. Not only the elderly and disabled, but also young children can hold on to the handle and move their bodies with peace of mind.

It has a simpler structure and is more cost-effective than conventional bathing aids.

It can also be used as a bathroom accessory by inserting panels etched with flower or fruit designs into the gap between the handles, making it a great gift for celebrations and condolences such as joy, umbrellas, rice, graduation, and white jubilee. be.
