Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a stool used in a bathtub when taking a bath.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When bathing, which part of the body the bath surface should be on depends on the individual's preference, such as wanting to bathe in the neck or shoulders. Nowadays, a healthy bathing method that prevents the heart from being pressed by water pressure by lowering the surface of the bath near the bottom of the chest is considered, and some people practice it. Even if the amount of hot water poured into the bathtub is constant, if the bathing person has a different physique (mainly height), there is a difference in which part of the body the bath surface is located. From the above, conventionally, by adjusting the amount of hot water to be poured into the bathtub, the position of the hot water surface is adjusted according to the preference and physique of the person bathing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the baths of ordinary households, it is normal for some families to use the water poured into the bathtub, so every time the bathing person changes, the hot water is thrown away or replenished to raise the surface of the bath. However, there is a drawback in that the hot water is wasted, which is uneconomical, and the adjustment work is troublesome. In particular, if the family includes a child with a short height or a person practicing the healthy bathing method described above, the amount of hot water must be significantly adjusted before and after the person takes a bath. The above-mentioned drawback was remarkable. In addition, trying to position the surface of the body on a desired part of the body without adjusting the amount of water required an unreasonable bathing posture.

In view of the above drawbacks, the present invention does not require the amount of hot water in the bathtub to be adjusted, and does not impose an unreasonable bathing posture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bath stool that can be positioned at a desired portion.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve such an object, the bath stool according to the present invention is formed into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped in which the distances between the three sets of facing surfaces are different from each other, and legs are provided at both ends of at least one surface. The distance from the surface of the leg that is projecting and opposite the surface on which the leg is projecting to the tip of the leg is different from the distance between the other two sets of facing surfaces. It is a feature.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the bathtub stool according to the present invention, there are a case where the person is seated on the opposite side with the side having the legs facing down and a case where the person is sitting between the legs with the side having the legs facing up. , The two sets of facing surfaces except the one with the legs and the opposite surface are different in the above four cases, with one of the facing surfaces facing down and the other sitting. 4 different heights can be obtained. Therefore, by submerging this bath stool in the bath water and sitting on it, the position of the bath surface with respect to the body of the bathing person can be adjusted in four steps.

[0007]

【Example】

 A bath stool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bath stool, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are views for explaining a usage state of the bath stool. In these figures, the bath stool 1 is formed by bending or welding a stainless steel thin plate to form a distance a between the three pairs of facing surfaces A1 and A2, a distance b between the surfaces B1 and B2, and a surface C1. It is formed into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped having different distances c from the surface C2, and a pair of leg portions 2 are provided on both ends of the surface C1 in the longitudinal direction so that the distance d from the tip of the leg portion 2 to the surface C2. Is different from any of the distances a and b between the other two sets of facing surfaces. (Of course, it is also different from the distance c.) A hole 3 is formed on the surface A1, and a hole 4 having a smaller diameter than the hole 3 is formed on the surface other than the surface A1. The respective distances are, for example, 250 mm for a, 200 mm for b, 120 mm for c, and 160 mm for d.

Such a bath stool 1 is used by being immersed in the hot water 11 poured into the bath 10. FIG. 2 shows a state where the person sits on the surface A2 with the surface A1 facing down. In this case, the height h of the bath stool 1 is 250 mm, which is an amount that other families can wear to the neck. If the hot water 11 is poured into the bathtub 10 and then bathed, and then the user sits on the bathtub stool 1 and takes a bath, the hot water surface 12 will be located near the chest without reducing the amount of hot water 11. For example, it is possible to set the position of the bath surface 12 suitable for a person practicing the above-mentioned healthy bathing method.

If the person sits on the surface B2 with the surface B1 facing downward, the height h of the bath stool 1 is 200 mm, and if the surface C1, that is, the leg 2 is seated on the surface C2, the height h is When the person sits on the surface C1 with the surface C2 facing down to 160 mm, the height h becomes 120 mm. Thus, four levels of height can be obtained from 120 mm to 250 mm, so that the hot water 11 in the bathtub 10 is By selecting the seating surface of the bathtub stool 1 according to the amount and physique of the person bathing and the preference of each person, not only those who practice the healthy bathing method, but also anyone who wants the bath surface 12 You can take a bath while it is located in the area. Assuming that the bath stool 1 is used, it may be possible to initially add a slightly larger amount of hot water 11 to the bath 10. When seated on the surface C1, the seat may be seated in a direction parallel to the leg portion 2 or may be seated in a direction perpendicular to the leg portion 2 as shown in FIG. The surface C1 between the two legs 2 needs to be dimensioned so that it can be seated in either of the orientations described above.

It should be noted that there is a possibility that scales and the like will adhere to the inside of the bath stool 1 when it is used for a long period of time, but in such a case, it is possible to put hands or the like through the hole 3 for cleaning. Further, when the bath stool 1 is submerged in the hot water 11, the air inside the bath stool 1 is discharged through the holes 3 and 4, so that the bath stool 1 does not float. Since the hole 3 is present, it is not possible to sit on the surface A1, but there is no problem because it is possible to sit on the surface A2. That is, in the bathtub stool 1 of the present invention, two sets of facing surfaces except the surface C1 having the legs 2 and the surface C2 on the opposite side thereof are seated on at least one of the facing surfaces. If so, four different heights will be obtained.

The shape, size, material and the like of the bath stool according to the present invention are not limited to those in the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, if the bath stool is made of a wooden board such as cypress, the feel of the tree will be reduced. It is useful to be used. In this case, the stool for bathtub floats in the hot water, but it sinks when the user sits down on it, so there is no practical problem. It is also conceivable to use ceramics that emit far infrared rays when heated to serve the purpose of improving the effect of the hot bath. Of course, it may be manufactured by molding a general synthetic resin. The bath stool according to the present invention may also be used as a stool when washing the body outside the bath.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the bath stool according to the present invention, it is not necessary to adjust the amount of hot water in the bath, and it is possible to meet the preference and physique of the person bathing without forcing an unreasonable bathing posture. Accordingly, the bath surface can be positioned at a desired part of the body, and the bath water is not wasted to adjust the bath surface. In addition, it can be used at a low cost because it can be used by an easy operation by simply laying the stool on its side or turning it over and selecting the surface to sit on, and without a complicated mechanism for height adjustment. .
