Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a bathroom device which is devised so as to be convenient for an elderly person and a physically handicapped person to take a bath.

[Prior Art] A conventional general bathroom is a bathroom 01 as shown in FIG.
It is divided into a washroom 02 and the bather has an apron 0 in the bathtub 10.
Washing place 02 as well as entering / leaving bathtub 01 across 1 '
In the above, the user sits on a small chair 03 to wash his body.

[Problems of the prior art] For this reason, there are many movements such as standing and sitting,
It is very painful for the elderly and people with disabilities. In particular, in the case of a person with weak legs, the operation of straddling the apron 01 'of the bathtub 01 is very difficult and dangerous. Also, in winter, apron 0
1 becomes cold immediately and touching it is uncomfortable even for a healthy person, but for a weak person, there is concern about heat shock.

The present invention is proposed in view of the above point, and an object of the present invention is to propose a bathroom device in which an elderly person or a physically handicapped person can bathe easily and safely.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The configuration of the present invention is as follows.

Between the bathtub and the faucet of the washroom, which incorporates heating means in the apron of the bathtub facing the washroom, form a sloping slope at a height slightly lower than the edge of the apron of the bathtub and at a height that is just right for the bather to sit on. A bathroom device having a structure in which hot water flows from the bathtub side to the faucet side on the upper surface of the stool slope, and a handrail with a heating means is attached to a key part of the wall surface along the slope.

In the above configuration, a hot water circulation pipe may be incorporated in the apron as a heating means for the apron, and hot water may be circulated from the heat source for heating in the pipe to warm the apron. Alternatively, a heat pipe may be used to transfer the heat in the bath to the apron to warm it. These heating means can be similarly applied to the handrail side.

Next, the hot water flowing on the stool slope may overflow the hot water in the bathtub or the bather may draw the hot water and run it. Alternatively, a dedicated hot water outlet may be provided for hot water from a separately provided hot water supply device, shower, faucet, or the like, and the hot water may be discharged from there.

It is recommended to attach cushioning material to the apron, handrail, seat slope, wall, etc., in consideration of safety when the bicycle falls over.

[Operation] When entering the bathtub, the bather sits down on the sloping slope closest to the bathtub, grasps the handrail, raises his legs, turns his body, and crosses the apron to enter the bathtub. Also, when you go out, sit down on the slope once and raise your legs to turn your body to the washing area. In this way, it is not necessary to cross the apron, and it is very easy to enter and exit the bathtub.

Next, when moving to the faucet, move while keeping a stool on the stool slope. At this time, a handrail is attached to the wall surface, and the operation is performed while being held by the handrail.

In addition, it is advisable to form a rounded edge on the stool slope so that hot water does not spill from here and that it does not slip off.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a bathroom apparatus according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 is a bathroom, 2 is a bathtub, 3 is a washroom, 4 is a washroom 3
It is a faucet attached to.

5 is a stool slope formed between the apron 2'of the bathtub 2 and the faucet 4 of the washroom 3 and having a height suitable for just sitting down. This upper surface is slightly inclined toward the faucet 4 side so that hot water flows. ing. The front edge of the slope 5 has a rounded edge 5'to prevent hot water from spilling and to prevent it from slipping off.
Are formed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a dedicated hot water discharge port for flowing hot water from a water heater or the like between the apron 2'and the stool slope 5. The hot water flows from the hot water discharge port 6 to the upper end of the stool slope 5. 7 is a handrail.

In the case of the embodiment, hot water is circulated from a water heater provided separately in the apron 2'and the handrail 7, and it is always warm and a cushioning material is attached to a key part to prevent an injury at the time of falling. It has been devised.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the bather sits on the slope 5 while entering and leaving the bathtub 2 and moves in the washing room 3 while sitting.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention has the above-described configuration and operation, and has the following effects.

a. It is very convenient for the elderly and physically handicapped people, as it can be performed in and out of the bathtub and in the washroom with a comfortable posture while sitting down. It is safe to take a bath in.

b. Hot water flows on the upper surface of the stool slope, so this surface can be kept warm and it is easy to move while sitting. The surface of the slope is always clean because it is washed with hot water.

c. Keeping the apron and handrails warm keeps them cool and uncomfortable when touching them and also prevents heat shock.

d. By installing cushioning material at important points, it is safe even in the event of a fall.
