Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a lining material for a bathtub that is attached to the inner surface of a bathtub and covers the inner surface of the bathtub.

[Prior Art] For example, Western-style bathrooms installed in condominiums, hotels, etc. do not have a washing area other than a bathtub, and people wash their bodies in the bathtub. In addition, nursing homes and medical facilities that take care of the disabled and the elderly are equipped with bathing facilities that allow people to bathe in a lying position and wash their bodies in a bathtub for the convenience of nursing and nursing care.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In the case of bathtubs for washing the body inside as described above, the hot water and the inner surface of the bathtub are dirty and dripping, and in order to ensure hygienic use, it is necessary to replace the hot water and bathtub after each bather. must be washed repeatedly. In particular, in facilities for nursing and nursing care, the frequency of use and ease of soiling increases the frequency of cleaning, causing an additional burden on nurses and the like. Further, cleaning of bathtubs after use in hotels is also a labor-intensive task.

In order to solve such problems, the present inventor devised a bathtub sheet that can be attached and detached in the bathtub, and
I have already applied for utility model registration (Utility Model Application No. 1-13470)
No. 3), but the present invention further improves this and makes it more convenient.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, the bathtub lining material according to the present invention is characterized in that it is made of a plurality of separably stacked water-resistant sheets that fit inside the bathtub and cover the inner surface of the bathtub.

[Operation: Cover the inner surface of the bathtub with this bathtub lining material, and secure the upper edge to the opening edge of the bathtub using an appropriate method. In this state, the outermost sheet of lining material forms the inner surface of the bathtub;
If you pour hot water inside it, you can take a bath as is. After taking a bath, drain the hot water inside and peel off the outermost sheet. Then, the second sheet underneath is exposed, and this sheet forms the new inner surface of the bathtub, but since it overlaps with the inside of the outermost sheet, it is kept clean. The bathtub can be immediately used for the next use without having to clean the inside of the bathtub.

[Example] Examples of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of one embodiment of the present invention, and this bathtub lining material 1 has water-resistant flexible resin sheets 2, such as polyethylene, which can be separated from each other. It becomes superimposed. Each sheet 2 includes a recess 4 formed in a container shape that fits inside the bathtub 3, and a mounting portion 9 that is integrally formed on the outer edge of the recess and is fixed to the opening edge 5 of the bathtub 3. Consisting of The recess 4 is not necessarily a bath N! It does not have to be formed into a completely concave shape like i3, but may be formed to cover the inner surface of the bathtub with a soft sheet that easily conforms to the shape of the bathtub during use.

A drain hole 7 into which a blocking plug 6 is fitted is provided at the bottom of the four parts 4 at a position overlapping the drain port 3a of the bathtub 3, and the seat 2. ... can be plugged into the drain port 3a and the water hole 7 while it is attached to the bathtub, and when the plug is opened, the water can be directly drained. In the illustrated example, the peripheral edge 7a of the seat drainage hole (13a) protrudes slightly downward and partially fits into the bathtub drain (13a), but it is not necessary to provide such a protrusion. good. The plug 6 is made of rubber, plastic, etc., and has a plug portion 6 that fits fluid-tightly into the drain port 3a of the bathtub.
b and a flange portion 6a, and the flange portion 6a presses and fixes the sheet 2 when plugging.

Note that the drain hole 7 does not necessarily have to be provided; in that case, one of the sheets covered on the bathtub 3 may be pulled up to drain the hot water inside.

A plurality of sheets 2 constituting the lining material 1. ···teeth,
They are stacked one on top of the other and are separably adhered to each other at the attachment portion 9 with an adhesive 8. These sheets 2. ... should be integrated with each other in such a way that they do not easily separate during transportation or use, and can be easily peeled off one by one by applying an appropriate external force. may be simply superimposed. Also, for example, at the outer edge of the lining material 1, the sheet 2. ...to be integrated,
Perforations or the like may be made in the inner part so that the recessed part 4 can be separated one by one.
Furthermore, without using an adhesive or the like, the sheets 2.degree. may be partially embossed and attached to each other so as to be separable.

The mounting portion 9 is integrally formed as an extension of the recess 4, and the seat 2. When applying ... to the bathtub,
The four parts 4 are fitted into the bathtub 3, the attachment part 9 is placed over the upper edge of the bathtub, and it is fixed by a suitable fixing means. As a fastening means, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, a U-shaped fastener 10° made of an elastic material such as plastic or metal is attached to the edge of the bathtub from above the mounting part 9. There is a method of clamping and locking. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be secured to the bathtub using a cloth zipper 12 called Velcro, and further, as shown in FIG. It may be locked on the outer periphery. This locking causes the seat 2. A lining material 1 made of layers of... is fixed to a bathtub 3, and the sheet is prevented from slipping into the bathtub when hot water is poured into the bathtub.

Since this bathtub lining material 1 is constructed as described above, it can be easily attached to a bathtub, filled with hot water, and taken a bath as is. When taking a bath, hot water and the human body do not directly touch the inner wall or bottom of the bathtub 3, allowing the user to take a bath without staining the inner surface of the bathtub. After bathing, all you have to do is drain the hot water inside and remove the outermost sheet 2. Then, the next sheet 2 underneath is exposed and forms a new inner surface of the bathtub, so
You can fill it with new hot water and use it for the next person to take a bath. In this way, the sheets 2. By sequentially removing the...
You can always have a clean bathing experience. Furthermore, if this sheet is marked with a picture or other pattern, or the name of the hotel or hospital where it will be used, the usability can be enhanced and the advertising effect can be increased. Further, by attaching fragrances, chemicals, water quality improvers, etc. to each sheet 2 in a leatable manner, it is possible to enhance the feeling of bathing and improve the bathing effect on the body.
