Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath car for visiting a bedridden old man's house or the like and using the onboard bathtub to provide a bathing service to the bedridden old man.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various bath vehicles are known for providing bathing services to bedridden elderly people and the like. In general, a bathing car is of a type in which an old man is carried on a stretcher or the like to take a bath in a bath installed in the car, and vice versa.
The bathtubs installed in automobiles can be roughly classified into those that are carried into the homes of the elderly for bathing.

Further, a bath car is generally equipped with hot water supply equipment, which is arranged next to an old man's house so that water can be supplied from there to be heated and supplied to a bathtub.

[0004]

When bathing a bedridden old man or the like here, it is necessary to put the old man or the like in the bathtub or to take out from the bathtub in a middle waist posture, which is a heavy labor. Therefore, it is desired to easily perform such work.

As described above, there are two types of conventional bathing vehicles, one for bathing in the vehicle and one for bathing at home. However, it is possible to easily bathe both in the vehicle and at home as desired. It would be convenient if possible.

Further, when taking a bath in a bathing car, if the parking place is on a slope, the bathtub may also be inclined and the bathing service may not be provided, which is inconvenient. Further, if the bathtub is inclined, there is a problem that the drainage from the bathtub cannot be performed completely. However, this point has not been considered in the past.

Further, in providing a bathing service, in order to have a large number of bedridden elderly people take a bath,
It is necessary to perform bathing work efficiently. In this case, the bathing time itself cannot be shortened, so it is necessary to perform the work before and after that, for example, hot water storage, drainage, cleaning of the bathtub, etc., quickly and efficiently. However, such a point is not taken into consideration in the conventional bath car. For this reason, it takes a lot of time to store hot water, and it is inconvenient to wash the bathtub after bathing and to drain water.

An object of the present invention is to propose a bathing car capable of solving such conventional problems.

[0009]

The bath vehicle of the present invention has the following structure so that the bath can be taken both inside the vehicle and at home. In other words, in the bathroom installed in the bath car, the pedestal supporting the bathtub can be moved up and down, and the stretcher for carrying in and out the bathing subject can be installed in the bathtub supported by the gantry. It can be installed in a straddle state. As the stretcher, the upper half and the lower half supporting the wheels at the lower end are detachably connected to the leg, and the upper half of the leg is formed at the upper end. A shelf for placing the plate material, a net attachment part over which the net material can be bridged, and a net material height for winding and unwinding the net material attached to the net attachment part A structure having an adjusting part and an indoor installation leg part connected to the upper half part is adopted.

In the bath car of the present invention thus constructed, bathing in the car can be easily carried out as shown in an embodiment described later, and at the time of bathing at home, a stretcher is applied from the lower half part. It can be separated and carried into the house separately from the bathtub, and can be installed at a predetermined place as it is. In this way, the weight of the parts carried into the home is reduced, so that the bathing service in the home can be performed without heavy labor. It is preferable to make the net material height adjusting section detachable here because the weight of the stretcher to be carried into the house can be reduced.

As the net material used in the present invention, a rectangular main body formed by knitting a long strip-shaped member in a mesh shape and both side edge portions extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body are formed. It is possible to use one having a mesh portion for inserting a stretcher rod and attachment portions formed at both ends of the main body and detachably attached to the net attachment portion. When such a net material is used, it can be processed in a rolled state during storage and disinfection operations. Also, a simple stretcher can be constructed by inserting stretcher rods along both edges of the net material. If this is used, an old man or the like can be easily carried out from the house where a stretcher or the like cannot enter, and an old man or the like after bathing can be carried into the house, which is extremely convenient.

When a simple stretcher is constructed by using the net material, and when carrying out and carrying in an old man or the like using this net, instead of a stretcher, a structure without wheels is used. It is also possible to use a net support stand. In this case, the net support base is always installed in a state of straddling the bathtub.

Next, in the present invention, when taking a bath in the vehicle, the following constitution is adopted so that the bathing service can be applied in an appropriate state even when the vehicle is parked on a slope. That is, height adjustment means for adjusting the height of the bathroom from the floor is installed at a plurality of locations on the bottom surface of the lifting platform that supports the bathtub, and the bathtub is adjusted by individually adjusting the height adjustment means. It can be set horizontally. Generally, such height adjusting means may be attached to the four corners of the bottom surface of the elevating stand. When such an adjusting mechanism is arranged, the elevating mount can be held horizontally at all times, and therefore the elevating operation of the bathtub can always be performed in an appropriate state, which is also advantageous in that it is safe. Furthermore, by holding the bathtub horizontally, it becomes possible to completely drain water.

Next, since the space of the bathing room mounted on the bathing car is generally small in many cases, according to the present invention, casters or the like are mounted on the elevating stand supporting the bathtub so as to facilitate the work. Is attached to make it movable. Further, in this case, a structure in which fixing means is arranged so as to be fixed at an arbitrary position is adopted.

On the other hand, in the bath car of the present invention, hot water supply means for heating the water supplied from the outside and supplying it to the bathtub is installed so that the hot water can be supplied to the bathtub in a short time. In addition, the hot water from the hot water supply means is stored during a time period when hot water supply is unnecessary, and an auxiliary hot water supply means that can supply the hot water to the bathtub is installed as needed. According to this configuration, when hot water is needed, hot water can be supplied from both sides, so that the hot water can be stored in the bathtub in a short time.

Further, in the present invention, a construction is adopted in which the drainage means for the bathtub and the auxiliary drainage means for storing the wash water at the time of washing the bathtub after bathing and for discharging it to the outside as needed are installed. There is. With this configuration, the drain hose removal work and the bath washing work can be performed in parallel after draining the bath. Therefore, the work after bathing can be completed in a short time and the movement to the next destination or the like can be immediately started, so that the work efficiency can be achieved.

The auxiliary hot water supply means may be configured so that water can be supplied from the outside, and the water stored therein is supplied to the hot water supply means for heating.

Next, the present invention has a disinfectant tank, and this disinfectant tank has a reservoir for the disinfectant, and a conduit for guiding the disinfectant from the bottom of the reservoir to a position just above it. A pump is provided to circulate the disinfectant solution in the reservoir through this conduit. According to this configuration,
By circulating the disinfectant, the disinfectant can be sprayed from above onto the clothes, nets, etc. to be disinfected, which have been put into the storage part. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a large amount of the disinfecting liquid so that the clothes, the net material and the like to be disinfected are completely immersed, and the disinfecting liquid can be efficiently used. Further, when clothes, net materials, etc. are completely soaked, they may become heavy and difficult to handle, but if the disinfectant solution is sprayed from above as in the present invention, such Harm is avoided.

Next, in the present invention,
By forming a gradient in two directions orthogonal to each other, the drainage port is formed at the three-dimensionally lowest position on the bottom surface. In this way, the drainage from the bath is completed.

Next, the bathtub of the present invention has a main bathtub and a hair-wash tub, and the drainage mechanism of these tubs has a first drain pipe extending downward from the drainage port of the main tub and the drainage of the hair-wash tub. A second drain pipe extending downward from the mouth and one end connected to the second drain pipe, the first drain pipe connected at an intermediate position, and the other end side connected to a drain pump or the like in the lateral direction. Disposed between the second drainage pipe and the drainage connection pipe,
The check valve is configured so as to allow only the passage of the fluid toward the downstream side of the drainage. By doing so, it is possible to avoid the adverse effect that the drainage water from the main bathtub flows back to the hair washing bath side and blows out from the drainage port at the time of drainage.

[0021]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A bathing car as an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Overall Structure) FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional structure of the bath car of this example. As shown in this figure, bath car 1
Has a bathroom 2 formed on the side of its cargo bed, in which a bathtub 3, a receiving frame 4 thereof, an elevating pedestal 5 supporting the receiving frame, and a state of being installed across these The stretcher 6 is installed. Further, an equipment unit 7 such as hot water supply equipment is incorporated between the bathroom 2 and the driver's seat. On the rear surface of the entrance bathroom 2, an entrance / exit 2b to which a power gate 2a is attached is formed. As shown in the figure, the power gate 2a turns around the lower end, and moves up and down in a horizontal state. A bath 8 for hot water supply, a drainage tank 9, and a water supply / drainage pump are attached to the bottom surface of the bath car 1.

2 and 3 show the structure of the supporting portion of the bathtub and the stretcher. Explaining with reference to these figures, the pedestal 4 of the bathtub 3 has a rectangular frame 4a.
And a U-shaped leg frame 4b attached to the lower side thereof, and the bathtub 3 is supported on the rectangular frame 4a. The lift type pedestal 5 supporting the receiving frame 4 is composed of a gantry frame 53 supporting a lower table 52 to which a hydraulic lift mechanism 51 is attached, and an upper table 54 which is moved up and down by the hydraulic lift mechanism 51. ing. The periphery of the upper table 54 is bent upward, and the pair of leg frames 4b of the pedestal 4 of the bathtub are just accommodated therein. The gantry frame 53 includes a pair of frame members 53a and 53b extending in the longitudinal direction and a pair of connecting frames 53c and 53d connecting the frame members 53a and 53b. Further, on the outer sides of the pair of frame members 53a and 53b, receiving rails 55 and 56 for stretchers, which also extend in the longitudinal direction, are attached via a mounting plate 53e so as to be at a slightly lower height position. There is.

Double-wheel type casters 57 having the same structure are attached to both ends of each of the frame members 53a and 53b. These four casters 57 are mounted on the pedestal 53.
Is for laterally moving. In addition, each frame member 53
The dull wheel type casters 58 are also attached to the inner portions of the casters a and 53b. These casters 58 are for vertically moving (moving in the longitudinal direction) the gantry. Further, in this example, lock fittings 59 for fixing the pedestal so as not to move are attached at two positions as shown in FIG.

Next, the structure of the stretcher 6 of this example will be described. The stretcher 6 includes four leg members 61, casters 62 attached to the lower ends thereof, a connecting member 63 connecting each pair of leg members, and a horizontal rectangular frame formed on the upper ends of the leg members. 64 and a net support frame (net attachment portion) 65 attached to both ends of the rectangular frame 64 in the longitudinal direction. The distance between the leg frames 61 is set to a size that allows installation in a state of straddling the bathtub, and the casters 62 thereof are configured to move on the rails 55 of the gantry 5. Therefore, by moving the stretcher 6 along the rail 55 from the longitudinal end of the bathtub 3, the stretcher 6 can be installed across the bathtub 3.

The upper horizontal frame constituting the net support frame 65 is a rotatably supported net take-up roll 65a, and at one end thereof, a speed reduction mechanism (not shown) including a gear train. ) Is connected to the winding handle 65b. Therefore, by rotating the handle 65b, the net material N (shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 2) suspended between the net support frames 65 can be unwound and wound. As described above, in this example, the roll height 65a and the handle 65b constitute a net height adjusting portion. It should be noted that a plurality of mats M (shown by phantom lines in FIG. 2) are spread over the horizontal frame 64 in a state of being bridged in the lateral direction.

(Height Adjusting Mechanism of Elevating Mount) The casters 57, 5 attached to the frame 53 of the elevating mount 5.
8 has a height adjustment function. In FIG. 4, casters 5
7 is shown enlarged. As shown in this figure, a bolt 57a is fixed to the upper end of the caster 57, and the bolt 57a is attached in a state of penetrating an attachment hole 531 formed in the frame member 53a. A nut 57b is attached to the bolt 57a.
A pair of levers 57c for turning it is attached. When the nut 57b is rotated by the lever, the bolt 57a moves in a direction protruding downward from the lower end of the frame member 53a or in a direction retracting upward depending on the rotation direction. Therefore, the caster body fixed to the lower end of this bolt also moves, and the height of this portion is adjusted. The other casters 57 and 58 are similarly configured.

In this example, in the initial setting, the vertically moving casters 58 are opposed to the horizontally moving casters 57.
Are retracted upward, and therefore, normally only four laterally moving casters 57 are in contact with the floor surface, and the elevating pedestal 5 can only laterally move. Therefore, the height of the lifting / lowering base 5 may be adjusted by adjusting the heights of the four laterally moving casters 57. When vertical movement is required, the vertical movement casters 58 may be lowered until they come into contact with the floor surface, and the lateral movement casters 57 may be raised and separated from the floor.

(Moving and Fixing Mechanism of Elevating Mount) Since the casters 57 and 58 are attached to the elevating mount 5 as described above, it can be moved in the horizontal and vertical directions. However, when taking a bath or the like, it is necessary to fix the elevating pedestal 5 so that it does not move. For this purpose, for example, a fixing pin is attached to the side of the lifting platform, the pin hole is formed on the floor side, and the pin is inserted into the pin hole, so that the lifting platform can be placed at a fixed position. It is also conceivable to configure so that it can be fixed. However, with such a fixing mechanism, the fixing position of the lifting pedestal cannot be changed, and the work of moving the lifting pedestal to position the pin in the pin hole is troublesome.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, locking metal fittings 59 called by a trade name such as a hammer lock are provided at two positions, that is, a frame member 53b and a connecting frame 53d which constitute the gantry frame 53. Is attached.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the lock fitting 59 attached to the connecting frame 53d. Lock fitting 59
Is a link type lock mechanism, and is a down pedal 59a.
And an up-bedal 59b, and by depressing the dambedal 59a, the base 59c on the lower end side is held in a state of pressing the floor surface as shown by an imaginary line in the figure. By depressing the upbedal 59b in this state, the fixing of the link mechanism is released, and the base 59c again rises to the position shown by the solid line in the figure.

As described above, in this example, the lifting platform 5 can be fixed so as not to move by a simple operation.

(Structure of Stretcher) Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the vertical separation mechanism of the stretcher 6 of this example and the separation mechanism of the net support frame will be described.

The stretcher 6 of this example has leg members 61.
The upper and lower parts can be separated at the middle position. As shown in FIG. 6A, the leg member 61 is composed of a lower half portion 611 on the caster side and an upper half portion 612 on the horizontal frame side. Insert part 611
a is formed, and this portion can be inserted into the upper half portion 612 side. Further, a male screw portion is formed on the outer circumference of these connecting portions, and a sleeve 613 having a female screw portion formed on the inner circumference is attached thereto. Therefore, after connecting by inserting both parts,
By turning the sleeve 613, both can be held in the connected state, and by turning the sleeve in the opposite direction and completely moving the sleeve to the lower half 611 side, for example, the two can be separated.

The net support frames 65 attached to both ends of the horizontal frame 64 can also be separated from the horizontal frame by a similar mechanism. As shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), the two side columns 651 and 652 of the net support frame 65 are screwed together through a sleeve 653 on the base end side thereof. By rotating the sleeve 653 and completely moving it toward the columns 651 and 652, the support frame 65 is moved to the horizontal frame 6
Can be separated from 4.

In this way, the stretcher 6 can separate the lower half portion 611 having the casters 62, and
The net support frame 65 can also be separated. Therefore, when bathing at home, these can be separated and carried into the home, so that even a weak person can easily carry in the work.

Further, in the stretcher 6 of this example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, an L-shaped indoor leg 615 is fixed to the upper half portion 612. Therefore, when the upper half 612 separated from the lower half 611 with casters is carried into a room or the like, it can be left on the floor as it is.

(Net Material N) FIG. 7 shows the net material N used in this example. The net material N of this example has an elongated rectangular shape, and has a configuration in which a strip-shaped cloth is knitted in the longitudinal and lateral directions. Stretching rods N2 and N3 can be sewn along the meshes on both edges of the net material N in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, a simple stretcher can be constructed by passing the stretcher rods N2 and N3 through both edges. At both ends of the net material N, a net winding roll 65a is provided.
A pair of net attachment portions N4 and N5 which can be detachably hung on the hooks formed in the above are respectively formed.

The net material N of this example is easy to handle because it can be rolled up and stored in a predetermined place when it is not used and is lightweight. Furthermore, there is the convenience that a simple stretcher can be easily configured by passing the stretcher rod along the seams on both edges.

As the net material N, a net material formed in a mesh shape by using a flexible synthetic resin material is used instead of the one in which a band-shaped cloth is knitted as in this example. You may.

(Bathtub) FIG. 8 shows a drainage mechanism of the bathtub 3 of this example. First, the bathtub 3 of this example is the main bathtub 31.
And a hair-washing tank 32 continuous to this. The bottom surface 33 of the main bathtub 31 is formed with a gradient toward the drainage port 34 in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, whereby the three-dimensional (three-dimensionally) lowest position on the bottom surface 33 is formed. The drainage port 34 is located at. Therefore, the main bath 31 is smoothly drained.
In particular, in a moving bath car, unlike a typical bath tub installed in a home, it is often difficult to install it horizontally. However, by providing a clear slope on the bottom surface as in this example, it becomes possible to always perform smooth drainage.

Next, the drainage water from the main bath 31 and the hair washing bath 32 is drained through a common drainage connection pipe 36. When the drainage pipe 37 from the drainage port 34 of the main bathtub and the drainage pipe 38 from the drainage port 35 of the hair-wash tub 32 are simply connected to the drainage connection pipe 36 here, when draining water from the main bathtub, There is a possibility that the waste water of the above-mentioned flows back through the drainage pipe 38 of the hair wash tank 32 through the drainage connection pipe 36 and is blown out into the hair wash tank 32. In this example, a check valve 39 is attached to the connection between the drain pipe 38 of the hair wash tank 32 and the drain connection pipe 36,
The backflow of drainage from the drainage connection pipe 36 to the drainage pipe 38 is prevented. If this drainage system is adopted, the drainage port 35 of the hair wash tank
The drainage can be prevented from blowing out.

(Disinfection in the entrance bathroom) For disinfection in the entrance bathroom 2,
It is performed by spraying the disinfectant solution from a disinfectant solution storage tank (not shown) installed in the equipment unit 7 via a pump (not shown). As shown in FIG. 9, the disinfectant spraying ports are provided at seven places arranged on the four sides of the bathroom 2. By spraying the disinfectant from these, disinfection can be efficiently performed in every corner of the bathroom.

(Disinfection Tank) FIG. 10 shows the structure of the disinfection tank 71 installed in the equipment unit 7. The disinfecting tank 71 has a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped shape, and in the disinfecting solution storing section 72, the upper side of which is opened, and the storing section 7.
2, a pump 73 for circulating the disinfectant solution, which is attached to the bottom surface of one side of the container 2, a circulation pipe 74 of the disinfectant solution which is vertically arranged on one side surface of the reservoir 72, and a disinfection device which is attached to the tip of the circulation pipe 74 It has a liquid spray port 75. The suction port 73a of the pump 73 communicates with the bottom of the storage section 72, and a pipe 74 is connected to the discharge port 73b thereof.

In the disinfecting tank 71, as shown in the figure, the disinfecting solution 76 is stored up to a level of about 1/3 of the depth of the storing section 72. In this state, clothes to be disinfected, a net material, etc. are put in and the pump 73 is driven. As a result,
The antiseptic solution stored at the bottom of the storage section 72 is the circulation pipe 7
Then, it is sprayed onto clothing, net material, etc. from the spraying port 75 via the nozzle 4.

If the disinfection tank of this example is used, it is not necessary to store the disinfectant solution to a level where clothes, net materials, etc. are completely submerged. Therefore, the disinfectant can be saved. Also, when clothes, net materials, etc. are completely submerged in the disinfectant solution, they absorb the disinfectant solution and become heavy, which makes handling very difficult. However, in this example, such a situation can be avoided.

(Hot Water Supply / Drainage System) Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the structure of the hot water supply / drainage system in the bath car of this example will be described. In the figure, the water supply / drainage system is shown by a double line, and the signal system is shown by a single line. In this example, a direct pressure type water heater (kerosene instant water heater) 101 is used as a boiler for hot water supply.
The pump for pressure feeding is unnecessary. To supply water to the water heater 101, tap water or the like is used in a home for the aged who receives a bathing service. Hot water is supplied from the water heater 101 to the bathtub 3 via the switching valve 102 and the hot water supply port 103. In the case of bathing outside the vehicle, for example, in the house, hot water is supplied by connecting an extension hot water supply hose 104 (shown by an imaginary line in the figure) to the hot water supply port 103. A shower head 105 also communicates with the upstream side of the hot water supply port.

The drainage from the bathtub 3 is performed to the outside sewer side by connecting the drainage hose 107 to the drainage port 106.

Here, in this example, the hot water storage tank 8 is mounted, and it is possible to store hot water as much as the amount stored in the bathtub 3. Hot water is supplied to the hot water storage tank 8 from the water heater 101 via the switching valve 102 and the hot water storage pipe 108. The hot water stored here is supplied through the auxiliary hot water supply pipe 110 by driving the hot water supply pump 109 as necessary. Thus, in this example, there are two hot water supply systems. Therefore, by performing hot water supply from both sides at the same time, for example, the hot water storage time of the bathtub 3 can be shortened. In addition, even when the water supply from the outside is not available, such as before installing the water supply pipe or after cleaning the water supply pipe, by supplying hot water from the hot water storage tank 8, for example, cleaning of a bathtub, etc. You can do the work.

On the other hand, also in the drainage system, the drainage tank 9 is mounted in this example. Drainage from bathtub 3 is drain pipe 1
It is possible to store in this drainage tank 9 via the switching valve 111 attached to 07. The drainage collected here can be discharged to the outside through the auxiliary drainage pipe 113 and the drainage pipe 107 by driving the drainage pump 112 as needed. In this way, since the drainage system also has two systems, it is possible to treat the drainage in a state where the drainage system to the outside cannot be secured. For example, in parallel with the work of clearing the drain pipe after the bathing service, the bathtub is washed and the drainage at that time is temporarily stored in the drain tank 9.
You can store it in.

Reference numeral 115 is a controller for a water heater, and 116 is an operation panel thereof.

(Explanation of Bathing Operation) A bathing operation using the bathing vehicle of the present embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration will be described. Note that the following procedure is described for the purpose of explaining the function and effect of each part of the bath car of this example. Therefore,
The actual procedure should be performed based on the appropriate procedure according to each specific condition and environment.

First, the provision of a bathing service in the bathing room 2 in the car is performed according to the following procedure. First, hot water is stored in the hot water storage tank 8 in advance. In this state, move to a bedridden old man's home and park. After parking, the water supply from the outside to the hot water supply 101 is secured, and the drainage from the bathtub 3 to the outside is secured.

Next, a stretcher rod N is attached to the net material N provided.
2, a simple stretcher (see FIG. 7) is constructed through N3, which is carried out of the vehicle, and an elderly person or the like is placed on the stretcher from within the house and carried into the vehicle. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, a mat M is laid on the horizontal frame 64 of the stretcher 6, and a stretcher and an old man are placed on the mat M. After the old man or the like is placed on the stretcher 6, the rods N2 and N3 are extracted, and both ends of the net material N are hung on the net winding roll 65a.

Here, in a large-scale facility such as a hospital, instead of a simple stretcher, the stretcher 6 itself is carried out of the vehicle to carry out and carry in an elderly person.

Stretcher 6 with an old person in the car
Hot water is supplied to the bathtub 3 after undressing the clothes, at the same time as, or prior to this. Hot water is supplied simultaneously from the water heater 101 and the hot water storage tank 8. Therefore, the hot water storage is completed in a short time, and the next operation can be immediately started.

The undressed old man or the like rests on the net N spanned between the net support frames 65 at both ends, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The net winding handle 65b is wound to lift the net material N, and the mat M is pulled out. Next, the net N is lowered. At the same time, the bathtub 3
It is lifted by the elevating frame 5. Of course, only one operation may be performed. In this way, the state in which the elderly person or the like is bathed is ensured at the height position where the bathing assistant can work most easily.

After bathing, lower the bathtub 3 and
Wind the handle 65b and pull up the net N to wipe the body of an old man or the like. Further, drainage is performed from the bathtub 3 through the drainage pipe 107. Here, by winding the net N, the mat M is laid again on the horizontal frame 64 as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 2, and an old man or the like is placed on this.

In this example, the net N is wound and unwound in this manner, whereby the operation of attaching an old man or the like to the bathtub and the operation of pulling it up from there are performed. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the caregiver does not need to carry out such raising and lowering operations by holding an elderly person or the like, so that the caregiver's labor is greatly reduced.

After that, after the clothes are put on, both ends of the net material N are removed from the roll 65a. Thereafter, stretcher rods N2 and N3 are inserted into both edges of the net material to form a simple stretcher again, and an old man or the like is carried out of the car and carried into the house.

After this, the water supply pipe and the drainage pipe are washed and housed, and the water supply pipe and the drain pipe are moved to a place where another bathing person is waiting. Here, in this example, hot water is stored in the hot water storage tank 8 automatically before or after the bathing work and before or during the work, by utilizing the time when the water heater 101 is not used. Therefore, it is possible to supply hot water to the bathtub without supplying water from the outside. Therefore, the bathtub after use can be cleaned in parallel with the work of cleaning up the water supply pipe. The dirty water after cleaning is temporarily stored in the drainage tank 9. Conventionally, such a two-system hot water supply system and a two-system drainage system are not provided, and therefore work such as cleaning the bathtub can be performed unless water supply from the outside and drainage to the outside are secured. could not. For this reason, the time required to restart the vehicle after parking the bathing car and providing the bathing service is longer than the actual bathing time, which is very inefficient work. However, according to this example, it is possible to realize an efficient bathing service providing work.

Next, the operation of bringing a bathtub into a home and providing a bathing service will be described. In this case, after parking in front of the house, the upper half 612 of the stretcher 6 is
Is separated from the lower half 611. Further, the net support frames 65 at both ends from the upper half portion 612 are also cut off. Then, the upper half portion 612 and the net support frame 65 are individually carried into the house and assembled. Further, the bathtub 3 is carried into the house together with the receiving frame 4. In this way, since each part can be separated and carried, the carrying work can be made lighter.

After installing the bathtub 3 brought into the house,
The upper half 612 of the stretcher is installed so as to straddle it. Since the indoor leg 615 is attached to the upper half 612, it can be easily installed indoors. Then, the net support frames 65 are attached to both ends of the upper half 612. Then, the net N is bridged between the net support frames 65. Figure 1
This state is shown in FIG.
