Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathtub that allows bathers, including elderly people and people with disabilities, to safely and easily take a bath.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional bathtub is not suitable for sitting down when taking a bath because the flange portion (upper surface of the upper end of the peripheral wall of the bathtub) 1 has a narrow width.

However, there is a strong demand for the flange 1 to be used as a cue for bathing and as a depository for the body, including elderly people and people with disabilities.

On the other hand, especially in the case of a small bathtub for household use, when a flange for water supply / hot water supply is provided, this may hinder the bathing operation.

However, when the currant for supplying water and hot water cannot be provided on the wall surface of the bathroom, it has to be provided on the flange portion of the bathtub.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional bathtub, a cue at the time of bathing and a body depository were not sufficient.

In addition, at the time of bathing, the flange for supplying water and hot water may interfere with the bathing operation, resulting in contact and injury or burns.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub in which a bather including an elderly person and a physically handicapped person can safely and easily take a bath.

According to a second aspect of the present application, as described in claim 2, a part of the flange portion 1 is widened to form a stool portion 2, and a calan 3 is provided on a lower surface side of the stool portion 2. The bathtub 5 is characterized by.

According to a third aspect of the present application, as described in claim 3, a part of the flange portion 1 is widened to form a stool portion 2, and a calan 3 is provided on a lower surface side of the stool portion 2 so that the stool portion is seated. A bathtub 5 is characterized in that the part 2 can be opened and closed.

According to a fourth invention of this application, as described in claim 4, a part of the flange portion 1 is an overflow portion 4 including a wide stool portion 2 and a concave step adjacent to the stool portion 2. The bathtub 5 is characterized in that

[Work]

 According to the first invention of this application, the bathtub 5 is installed in the bath room with the stool portion 2 located on the freehand side, so that it can be used as a cue for bathing, a seat for the stool, etc. it can.

According to the second invention of this application, the bathtub 5 is installed in the bath room with the stool portion 2 positioned on the freehand side, so that the bath can be used as a cue for bathing, a stool, etc. In addition to being able to do so, the Karan 3 provided in the bathtub 5 does not disturb the bather.

According to the third invention of this application, the bathtub 5 is installed in the bath room with the stool portion 2 located on the freehand side, so that the bath can be used as a cue for bathing, a stool, etc. In addition to the fact that the currant 3 provided in the bathtub 5 does not disturb the bather and the seat 2 can be opened and closed, the currant 3 is provided on the inner surface of the bathtub 5 below the lower surface of the seat 2. However, by opening the stool section 2, the curran 3 can be operated from outside the bathtub 5.

According to the fourth invention of this application, by placing the bathtub 5 in the bath room with the seat portion 2 located on the freehand side, it can be used as a couch for bathing, as a body depository for seating, etc. In addition to this, the overflow part 4 adjacent to the stool part 2 is a concave step part, so that it is easier to cross the side wall of the bathtub 5 when taking a bath.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the device according to the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of the device according to this application. Reference numeral 5 denotes a bottomed box-shaped bathtub, which is made of, for example, artificial marble, synthetic resin, casting, stainless steel, light alloy or the like.

Both end portions of the side wall in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 5 bulge forward, and the flange portion 1 of the bulging portion is formed wide to form a stool portion 2. Between the stool portions 2 is a concave step. The overflow section 4 is composed of

Since the stool 2 is provided at both ends of the side wall in the longitudinal direction, it can be seated on either side of the stool 2. For example, both a person with a bad left leg and a person with a bad right leg may be able to choose a convenient stool 2.

One end of the face plate 6 of the flange of the stool 2 is hinged so that it can be opened and closed. It is preferable that the face plate 6 is substantially the same as the upper face of the surrounding flange portion 1 in the closed state, but there is no problem in raising or lowering the face plate 6 to some extent.

FIG. 1 shows a state where the face plate 6 is closed, and FIG. 2 shows a state where the face plate 6 is opened. When the face plate 6 is closed, it is supported by the stepped portion 7 provided on the inner surface of the side wall and sufficiently supports the load of the bather sitting on it. The face plate 6 does not necessarily have to be hinged, and may be a plate type.

Below the face plate 6 of the stool section 2, there is a currant installation section 8 on which the curran 3 is installed. Since the currant installation portion 8 is provided on the bulged portion on the front side of the side wall, the bathing space does not become narrow.

The currant installation portion 8 includes an inclined surface 81 that descends toward the inside of the bathtub 5 and a mounting surface 82 that is one step higher than the inclined surface 81. It is designed so that it does not flow down and accumulate on the mounting surface 82.

Further, since the mounting surface 82 is provided at a position higher than the overflow portion 4, the currant 3 does not enter the water during the overflow.

In this bathtub 5, the stool section 2 can be used as a handhold for bathing, a stool, etc., and the overflow section 4 adjacent to the stool section 2 is a concave step section. Therefore, it is easier to cross the side wall of the bath when taking a bath.

The Karan 3 does not disturb the bather. Moreover, if the face plate 6 is opened / closed, the operation of the cullan 3 can be easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the curran 3 is installed on the lower surface side of the stool section 2 by removing the upper portion of the side wall of this portion, it is possible to operate the curran 3 from inside and outside the bathtub 1. Therefore, it is not always necessary to open and close the stool 2.

It goes without saying that an overflow hole may be provided in the bathtub 5 for the purpose of simply causing the bathwater to overflow.

[0030]

[Effect of device]

 According to the first invention of this application, the stool section 2 can be used as a couch for bathing, a stool, etc.

According to the second invention of this application, the stool 2 can be used as a cue for bathing, a stool, etc., and in addition, the currant 3 provided in the bathtub is used by the bather. Since it does not interfere with the bath, you can easily take a bath.

According to the third invention of this application, the stool part 2 can be used as a cue for bathing, a stool, etc., and the currant 3 provided in the bathtub can be used by the bather. In addition to being unobtrusive, the stool 2 can be opened and closed, so you can operate the calan 3 from inside and outside the bathtub.

According to the fourth invention of this application, the stool 2 can be used as a cue for bathing, a stool, etc., and the overflow part 4 is a concave step. Therefore, it becomes easier to cross the side wall of the bathtub when taking a bath.
