[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom unit equipped with a bathtub or a shower facility, and particularly to a bathroom unit designed so as to be safe for use by the elderly or physically disabled.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a method for efficiently forming and constructing a bathroom equipped with a bathtub, a shower facility, a counter, a washbasin, and a toilet bowl, it is becoming common to prepare a standardized bathroom design unit.

Recently, it has been increasingly emphasized that the elderly and the physically handicapped are safe. Regarding the bathroom, it has been a structure mainly to effectively use the building space. Handrails will be provided on the wall as a consideration for persons with disabilities and persons with physical disabilities. Or the number of cases where a handle is provided in the bathtub is increasing.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The floor of the bathroom unit washroom requires a drainage gradient as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Nos. 57-133391, 58-33580 and 60-58745. The floor gradient of the washing area is such that the entire floor surface is directed in one direction with the same gradient of about 1/50 to 1/40, and hot water is guided to the drainage channel and discharged from the drainage trap of the drainage channel to the outside. .

The most likely fall in the bathroom is when entering the bathroom from a dressing room or the like, that is, when opening a door and stepping into an inclined washing room. Since there is usually a bathtub on one side of the bathroom and the wall is hidden on the other side by an open door, it is almost impossible to install an effective handrail on the wall surface of the bathroom at the entrance of the bathroom. This is an issue in terms of safety measures for the physically disabled.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is safe and easy for the elderly and the physically handicapped people to enter and exit safely and to care for those who cannot take a bath by themselves. The purpose is to provide a bathroom unit that can be bathed in.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The bathroom unit according to the present invention is a bathroom unit having a washroom, and the floor of the washroom is characterized in that the floor slope near the entrance is formed to be weaker than the floor slopes of other portions. It is intended to achieve the above purpose.

[0008]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, when entering the bathroom of the bathroom unit, the floor of the washing room to be stepped on first has a weak floor slope, so there is less risk of slipping, and elderly people and people with physical disabilities can safely enter and exit, In addition, it can safely and easily take care of people who cannot bathe by themselves. The other areas, namely the floor near the bathtub, counter, and shower facilities, have a suitable slope for drainage, but once in the bathroom, the environment is ready and the environment is low, so there is little danger.

[0009]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a bathroom unit according to the present invention will be described by way of examples.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view looking down on an embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a floor slope of a washroom according to the embodiment.

A door 2 that can be folded inside the bathroom is attached to the entrance sash of the entrance 1 of the bathroom unit of this embodiment, a bathtub 3 is on the left side inside the bathroom, and a counter 4 is on the back wall surface. Reference numeral 5 is a mirror set, 6 and 7 are water and hot water taps, and 8 is a shower facility.

The hot and cold water on the floor of the washing place 9 flows in the depth direction of the washing place 9, collects in a drainage gutter (not shown), and is discharged to the outside via a drainage trap.

The floor of the washroom 9 is laid with tiles or has a tile-shaped pattern, and the two rows of tile portions 9a on the entrance 1 side have a downward slope of 1/150 to 1/1. The tiles 9b in the six rows in the back are formed so as to have a downward slope of 1/50 to 1/40.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the bathroom entrance side of the wash floor has a weak gradient of about ¼ to ⅓ of the normal floor gradient on the bathroom entrance side. There is a normal slope in the back. The range of the weak slope on the entrance side is not limited to 1/4 of the total floor surface of the washroom, but at least the floor surface that is first stepped on from the entrance should be a weak slope, and the back is the area of the washroom, bathtub, and water tap. Determined in relation to position etc. It is preferable that the range of the weak gradient is wide if there is little hindrance to drainage. Further, it is preferable that the tile or tile pattern portion on the floor surface is subjected to anti-slip processing such as embossing.

Further, the gradient direction is not limited to the downward gradient in the depth direction, and the gradient of the entrance portion may be gently formed as described above to implement the present invention.

According to the configuration of the above embodiment, when entering the bathroom of the bathroom unit, the floor of the washroom where the entrance sash is first stepped on has a weak floor slope, so there is little risk of slipping, and there is little risk of slipping. People with disabilities and persons with disabilities can safely enter and leave, and those who cannot bathe themselves can be cared for safely and easily. The other parts, namely the floor near the bathtub, counter, and shower facilities have an appropriate slope for drainage, but the bathers have entered the bathroom and are ready to respond to the environment, so the risk is low. .

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when entering the bathroom, since the floor of the washroom where the entrance sash is first stepped on by the crotch is formed with a weak floor slope, there is little risk of slipping and the elderly person People with physical disabilities can safely enter and leave the facility, and those who cannot bathe themselves can be cared for safely and easily. The other parts, namely the floor near the bathtub, counter, and shower facilities have an appropriate slope for drainage, but the bathers have entered the bathroom and are ready to respond to the environment, so the risk is low. .
