Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom. More specifically, it relates to a bath room where the burden of bathing is reduced.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a so-called unit bath has been used as a bath for a house. In this unit bath, so-called inward-opening doors are generally used as doors into the bathroom, and the floor surface inside the unit bath is about 90 to 130 mm lower than the floor surface at the entrance (see Fig. 4). A curran integrated with the hot water supply switching device is provided at a predetermined position.

In such a bathroom, since the floor surface of the bathroom is lowered by about 100 mm and the door is opened inward as described above, there is a risk of losing balance and falling when entering the room. Therefore, it is desired to eliminate the step at the entrance of the unit bath and change the structure of the door. As a solution to this, a proposal has been made to use a door as a sliding door. However, when the door is used as a sliding door, there is a problem that the application range is extremely limited because the cost of the product is increased and a place to store the sliding door must be secured.

In addition, since the height of the bathroom stool that is usually used in the bathroom is about 200 mm, the amount of exercise when standing or sitting is the same as that of a normal chair (height is about 400 mm). As a result, the bather has an extra burden (see Fig. 5). This burden is greater for older people, which may cause them to dislike bathing. In order to reduce the burden of standing and sitting during bathing, bathroom stools with a height of about 300 mm are commercially available. However, in this case, the distance from the bathroom floor becomes large. As a result, there arises a problem that the posture of the person, such as when washing the bathroom, becomes difficult (see FIG. 6).

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.Therefore, there is no risk of losing balance and falling when entering a bathroom, and there is no unnecessary burden when taking a bath, and an unreasonable posture. The aim is to provide a bathroom that will not cause one.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the bathroom of the present invention, the floor of the bathroom is located slightly lower than the floor of the bathroom entrance, the door at the bathroom entrance is a folding door, and a counter is provided at a predetermined position on the wall surface of the bathroom. A currant is provided, a hot water supply switching device is provided on the front surface of the counter, and a pedestal having a front edge formed in an arc shape is provided on the lower part of the front surface of the counter where the hot water supply switching device is provided. It is characterized by being arranged. In the bathroom of the present invention, it is preferable that the pedestal is arranged at a position where it is easy to wash the surface when a bathroom stool having a height of about 300 mm is used.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the bathroom of the present invention, the floor of the bathroom is located slightly lower than the floor of the bathroom entrance so that the level difference at the bathroom entrance can be reduced to a range where there is no practical problem, and the entrance door is a folding door. Therefore, there is no risk of losing balance and falling when entering the room. In addition, a counter is installed on the wall of the bathroom, a curran is installed on the counter, a hot water supply switching device is installed on the front of the counter, and a pedestal is installed below it. Even if you use a bathroom stool with a height of about 300 mm, you can wash the surface without taking an uncomfortable posture.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

An embodiment of the bathroom according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and the bathroom is mainly composed of an entrance door, a bathtub, and hot water supply equipment such as a calan and a shower. Similar to the bathroom.

However, in this embodiment, the step between the bathroom floor surface (UBFL) and the floor surface (FL) at the bathroom entrance is reduced to about 20 mm (see FIG. 3). The door 1 at the entrance is also a folding door (see FIG. 1). Therefore, when taking a bath, the handle (not shown) of the door 1 is pulled toward you to open the door 1 and enter the room, unlike the conventional inward-opening door, so that you do not enter with the force of opening. There is almost no risk of losing balance and falling when entering a room. Various types of folding doors can be used, and the structure thereof is not particularly limited. In the illustrated example, the folding door is designed to be folded in the bathroom, but it can be folded outside the bathroom. Good. However, since it is used in a bath room with a lot of water, it is preferable to use a material made of a corrosion resistant material.

Further, in the embodiment, a counter 4 is fitted between the bath 2 and the side wall 3. The rear end 4a of the counter 4 is in contact with the rear wall 5, and the front face 6 is provided from the lower surface near the front end portion 4b toward the floor surface (UBFL). The level of this counter is substantially the same as the upper surface of the bathtub 2. A counter for hot water supply 7 is provided in the center of the counter constructed in this manner, and the right end of the front face 6 is used for switching between the callan 7 and a shower (not shown) for temperature control. A device (hereinafter, referred to as hot water supply switching device) 8 for water supply and water amount adjustment is provided. Therefore, hot water can be operated while sitting on the bathroom stool.

Further, a basin 9 such as a washbasin is provided vertically on the front surface 6 from a position slightly below where the hot water supply switching device 8 on the front wall is provided. As shown, the front edge 9a of the pedestal has an arcuate shape in which the central portion projects and the recesses recede toward both ends. Even if a bathroom stool with a height of about 300 mm is used by the pedestal 9, a washbasin or the like can be placed on the pedestal 9 to wash the face, so that an unreasonable posture does not occur. Further, since the front edge 9a of the pedestal 9 is retracted as it goes to both ends, the bather does not feel the pressure of providing the pedestal 9 even in a narrow unit bath.

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since there is almost no step at the entrance and the door is a folding door, there is no risk of losing balance and falling when entering the room. In addition, a counter is installed on the back wall, and a curran is installed on the counter, and a hot water supply switching device and a pedestal are installed on the front of the counter. Etc. can be done. Moreover, since the front edge of this cradle is retracted toward both ends, even if the cradle is installed in a narrow unit bath, the bather does not feel pressured.
