[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom, particularly a bathroom suitable for bathing by persons with disabilities.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when a family member with disabilities, such as a physically handicapped person or an elderly person, is included in a normal home, the bathroom may be supplemented by, for example, a special handrail, a stepless door sill, a bathtub, etc. Bathrooms equipped with a transfer board or transfer device are known. However, when these bathers needed a wheelchair, it was difficult to get access to the bathroom, access to the bathtub, and assistance because of water treatment restrictions.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 FIGS. 4A and 4B show two examples of plan layouts of a conventional bathroom of this type. In both figures, 1 is a bathtub, 1a is a seating surface on the upper side of its short side, 2 is a washroom, 3 is a dressing room, 4 is a bathroom door, 4A is a revolving door, and 5 is a wall for waterproofing. is there.

However, in these conventional examples, both (a) and (b) are relatively inaccessible because the distance from the entrance to the bathtub 1 is relatively long, and the short side of the bathtub 1 has a stool surface 1a. The lower part was a dead space. For this reason, in a small bathroom, there is not enough storage space for bathtubs, cleaning tools, etc., and these are left in the washroom 2 etc., further reducing the bathroom area and providing a bathroom construction / inspection port. It was difficult. Furthermore, since the drainage part of the washing area 2 is exposed on the floor, the appearance is bad, and if there is a step, there is a fear that the foot of a bather of this kind is dangerous.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional example as described above. The bathtub is close to the entrance and is easily accessible by a wheelchair and the dead space other than the bathtub tab is effectively used. The purpose is to provide a bathroom to obtain.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, in this invention, the bathroom has a seating surface on at least one short side of the upper surface of the bathtub, and a bathtub having a kicking portion at the bottom thereof is arranged face-to-face close to the bathroom entrance / exit. By doing so, the above-mentioned object is achieved.

[0007]

[Action]

 With the above-mentioned bathroom configuration, the bathtub is close to the bathroom entrance / exit of a changing room, etc., which makes it extremely easy for people with disabilities to access the bathtub. Since the footrest portion can be accommodated, transfer to the stool surface becomes easier. The riser can be provided with a bathroom construction / inspection port and a drainage port from the washroom, and the space can be effectively used as a storage for small items such as cleaning tools.

[0008]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below based on embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an essential part of an embodiment of a bathroom according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan layout view thereof. The same (corresponding) constituent elements as in FIG. 4 of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals. A bathtub 1 has a stool surface 1a on its short side and a riser 1b at its lower part. 1c is an overflow overflow groove provided on the upper surface of the long side of the bathtub 1 facing the washing place 2. This bathtub 1 is arranged at a close face-to-face position with the short side part sandwiching a threshold 4a of an entrance / exit door 4 from the undressing room 3, and an inspection port is formed in the back wall of the riser part 1b on the bathtub side. The inspection lid 6 is always closed. The bottom part of the riser part 1b is used as a drainage port of the washing place 2 and a drain board 7 is laid. Reference numeral 8 shows an opening / closing door structure when the riser portion 1b is used as a storage space for small articles such as a cleaning tool and a jet pump.

Other Embodiments The plane arrangement of this bathroom is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and three examples of other plane arrangements are shown in FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c). ). The example (a) shows an example in which the long side of the bathtub 1 is arranged face-to-face with the entrance / exit sliding door 4, and the examples (b) and (c) show two examples of the modified bathtub 1 arrangement.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the riser is formed at the lower part of the seating surface on the short side of the bathtub, and the bathtub is arranged so as to face the bathroom entrance and exit, the access to the bathtub is achieved.
