Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathtub.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, bathtubs made of resin, stainless steel, enamel steel plate, wood, etc. have been known. There are two types of construction methods for this bathtub: the method of placing it on the floor of the bathroom and the method of embedding it. Normally, in a unit type bathroom, the floor level of the bathroom and the floor level of the adjacent room such as a dressing room are set to be approximately the same, so that the bathroom can be easily moved in and out, a stationary method is adopted. Also, in bathrooms other than the unit type, a method of embedding is adopted in order to lower the step height of the side wall 1 in consideration of the bathing operation.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, when the unit type bathroom or the like is installed by a stationary method, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes very high, and it is difficult for an elderly person or the like to take a bath or the like. It was dangerous. In addition, when the method of embedding other than the unit type such as a bathroom is used, it is necessary to form a deep hole for embedding in the floor of the bathroom, which is complicated and time-consuming.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. That is, the problem is that the construction can be easily performed, and even an elderly person can easily And it is to provide a bathtub that can be safely bathed.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The bathtub according to the present invention is characterized in that the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 constituting the front side can be opened freely. The upper end 2 of the side wall 1 over the entire circumference may be openable.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the bathtub of the present invention, the height of the side wall 1 can be lowered partially or entirely.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The bathtub shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention, in which a substantially rectangular cutout 3 is formed in an upper end 2 of a side wall 1 which constitutes a front side, and a silicon rubber is provided in the cutout 3. It will be.

As for this bathtub, since the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 can be partially lowered by pushing down by hand when taking a bath, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes low, and even an elderly person can easily enter the bathtub. You can take a bath. In addition to silicone rubber, materials having flexibility such as urethane rubber and SBR can be used.

In addition, the bathtub of the present invention may be as in the embodiment shown in FIG. That is, in this bathtub, a substantially rectangular notch 3 is formed in the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 that constitutes the front side, and a groove 4 is formed on the inner surface of the notch 3 facing each other. A cross-linking material 5 that slides vertically is provided between them, and the lower surface of the cross-linking material 5 and the bottom surface of the cutout portion 3 are connected by a sheet 6 made of a stretchable material. The sheet 6 may be made of a flexible material such as silicone rubber, urethane rubber, or SBR.

As for this bathtub, since the cross-linking material 5 can be pushed down by hand to lower the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 at the time of bathing, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes low, so that even elderly people, etc. You can easily take a bath.

Note that the bathtub of the present invention may be the one as shown in FIG. That is, in this bathtub, a substantially rectangular notch 3 is formed at the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 that constitutes the near side, and a valley-shaped packing 7 is attached and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the notch 3, The opening / closing plate 8 is provided in the notch portion 3 so as to be freely fitted therein. Further, a mountain-shaped packing 7 corresponding to the packing 7 of the cutout portion 3 is attached and fixed to the opening / closing plate 8. As the packing 7, a material having flexibility such as silicon rubber, urethane rubber or SBR can be used.

In this bathtub, since the opening / closing plate 8 can be pulled out to lower the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 at the time of bathing, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes low, and even an elderly person or the like can use it. You can easily take a bath. Further, when the opening / closing plate 8 is fitted, the packing 7 prevents hot water from leaking.

In the bathtub of the present invention, the bathtub according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 may be used. That is, in this bathtub, a substantially rectangular notch 3 is formed in the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 that constitutes the near side, and a packing 7 is attached and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the notch 3, and the notch An opening / closing plate 8 is rotatably provided on the bottom surface of 3 through a packing 7. Further, both side edges of the opening / closing plate 8 and the packing 7 of the cutout portion 3 are connected by a seat 6. As the packing 7 and the sheet 6, a flexible material such as silicone rubber, urethane rubber, SBR or the like can be used.

In this bathtub, since the opening / closing plate 8 can be tilted toward the front side to partially lower the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 at the time of bathing, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes low, so that the elderly person, etc. Is also something that you can easily take a bath. Also, the seat 6 prevents hot water from leaking.

In the bathtub of the present invention, the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 may be used. That is, in this bathtub, a substantially rectangular notch 3 is formed in the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 that constitutes the near side, and an opening / closing plate 8 that bends near the center is inserted into the notch 3 through the seat 6. It is connected to the peripheral surface. As the sheet 6, a material having flexibility such as silicon rubber, urethane rubber, SBR can be used.

In this bathtub, since the opening / closing plate 8 can be folded to partially lower the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 at the time of bathing, the stepping height of the side wall 1 becomes low, and it is easy for the elderly and the like. What you can bathe in. In addition, the seat 6 prevents hot water from leaking.

In the bathtub of the present invention, the bathtub shown in FIG. 6 may be used. That is, this bathtub is characterized in that the side wall upper end portion 9 is detachable over the entire circumference.

As this bathtub, since the upper end 9 of the side wall can be removed and the side wall 1 can be lowered, the stepping height of the side wall 1 is lowered, and even an aged person or the like can easily take a bath. Is.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the bathtub of the present invention, the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 constituting the front side or the upper end 2 of the side wall 1 over the entire circumference is made openable, and the height of the side wall 1 is Since it can be lowered to a part or the whole circumference, even an elderly person can easily and safely take a bath.

Further, it is not necessary to embed, and the construction is easy.
