Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom unit having a chair inside.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Some bathroom units have a structure in which a part of the edge of the waterproof floor pan is protruded inwardly of the unit, and a seat that is substantially horizontal and a chair composed of a rising portion that continues downward from this seat are provided. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-61358).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional bathroom unit, since the draft is required when forming the waterproof floor pan, the rising portion of the chair is not finished at a right angle, and therefore the waterproof floor pan such as the wall panel or the door frame is not finished. On the other hand, if vertically attached parts are adjacent to each other, the appearance will be poor.

Further, since the rising portion of the chair rises in a straight line from the floor surface, it is difficult to put a force on the foot when standing up from the chair, which is not convenient for the elderly, in particular.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a chair having a structure in which it is easy to put a force on the foot when standing up, and the appearance around the arrangement of the chair is good. To provide a comfortable bathroom unit.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the first invention, as shown in FIG. 1 corresponding to the embodiment, inside the unit main body 1 constituted by the waterproof floor pan 1a, the wall panel 1b and the ceiling panel 1e. The chair 2 is provided with a structure that protrudes inward from the waterproof floor pan 1a and the wall panel 1b, and is formed of a member separate from the waterproof floor pan 1a. A space A for heel kicking is formed in the lower part of the falling member 2b on the front side of the chair 2.

In order to achieve the same purpose, in the second invention, as shown in FIG. 2 corresponding to the embodiment, an apron 25 is provided on the front side of the chair 22 integrally formed with the waterproof floor pan 21a. A gap C for heel kicking is provided between the lower end of the apron 25 and the floor surface 121a of the waterproof floor pan 21a.

[0008]

[Action]

 By using the space A or the gap C on the front side of the chairs 2 and 22 for kicking in the heel, it becomes easy to put force on the legs when standing up from the chairs 2 and 22.

Here, according to the first invention, since the lower end of the falling member 2b of the chair 2 and the floor surface 11a of the waterproof floor pan are cut off from each other, the front surface of the falling member 2b is placed on the floor. It becomes possible to make it perpendicular to the surface 11a.

On the other hand, according to the second invention, the apron 25 can hide the design problem caused by the draft of the rising portion 22b of the chair 22.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the structure of an embodiment of the bathroom unit of the first invention.

The unit main body 1 is mainly composed of a waterproof floor pan 1a, wall panels 1b, 1c, ... 1d standing upright at the edge of the waterproof floor pan 1a, and a ceiling panel 1e. Further, the waterproof floor panel 1a is provided with a chair 2 at a part of a corner with the wall panel 1b, and a shower nozzle 3 is arranged above the chair 2.

The chair 2 includes a seat 2a and a falling member 2b extending downward from the edge of the seat 2a, and the chair 2 is molded separately from the waterproof floor pan 1a. Further, the chair 2 is supported by the legs 2c which are separate from the supporting legs of the waterproof floor pan 1a, and in the supported state, the seat 2a can be arranged along a substantially horizontal plane, and the falling member 2b of the chair is waterproof. It is possible to arrange it vertically to the floor surface 11a of the floor pan 1a. Moreover, in the supported state, a space A is formed between the lower end portion of the falling member 2b on the front surface side of the chair 2 and the floor surface 11a of the waterproof floor pan to the extent that the heel enters.

With the above structure, the bather can enjoy a shower bath while sitting on the chair 2 and can use the space A below the chair 2 as a heel kicking portion. , It is possible to sit on the chair 2 in a comfortable posture, and when standing up, it is easy to put force on the legs and the movement can be performed easily.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the essential parts showing the structure of an embodiment of the bathroom unit of the second invention. First, also in this example, the unit main body 21 is mainly configured by the waterproof floor pan 21, the wall panel 21b and the like and the ceiling panel (not shown).

In this example, a chair 22 that is integral with the waterproof floor pan 21a is provided by raising a part of the waterproof floor pan 21a inward of the unit body 21. An inspection port 24 is opened at the rising portion 22b of the chair 22. The inspection port 24 is normally closed by a lid 24a.

On the other hand, an apron 25 is arranged on the front side of the chair 22. The apron 25 can be detachably attached to the rising portion 22b of the chair 22 by a hooking structure using a pair of mounting members 26 and 27. In the mounted state, the front surface of the apron 25 is supported so as to be perpendicular to the floor surface 121a of the waterproof floor pan 21a. Further, in the supported state, a gap C is formed between the lower end of the apron 25 and the floor surface 121a of the waterproof floor pan so that the heel can enter. The height position of the upper surface of the apron 25 is preferably at the same level as the seat 22a of the chair 22 or slightly lower.

In the example of FIG. 2, when the chair 22 and the waterproof floor pan 21a are integrally molded, for example, a gap between the chair 22 and the wall panel, which is caused by the draft of the chair 22, can be hidden. Since the mouth 24 can also be hidden, the design is improved. Moreover, since the clearance C in the lower part of the apron 25 can be used as a heel riser, it is possible to achieve the same effect as that of the embodiment shown in FIG.

In the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to the shower unit, but it is needless to say that the present invention can also be applied to other room units having a bathtub or the like.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, since the heel kick portion is provided in the lower portion on the front surface side of the chair, the force can be applied to the foot when standing up from the chair. This makes it easier to stand up, which improves usability, especially for elderly people. In addition, the front side of the chair can be made perpendicular to the floor of the unit body, which can improve the design.
