[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is designed so that when the shower nozzle is used in the bathtub because the bathroom of the accommodation facility such as an inn or hotel or the bathroom at home is small and there is no washroom, the body can be placed freely on the lid and safely. The present invention relates to a bathtub lid that can be bent and stretched and can be washed with the feet comfortably.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various assistive devices for the physically handicapped and infants to take a bath have been devised (Saikai Sho 63-194686, Sankaidai 2-139586, Sankaidai 4-3089, Sankaidai 4-32189). . However, the seats, seats, etc. of these auxiliary equipment are either hung or fixed on the edge of the bathtub, and none rotate in the front-back direction. This is because when a physically handicapped person or an infant takes a bath, the assistive device may move and the body may move if it is not used by stopping it at a certain position.

According to the present invention, a bather cleans the body with hot and cold water in the bathtub, and sprays hot and cold water from a shower nozzle arranged in front of the bathtub to wash the head and various parts of the body. At that time, the bather must keep in mind the inner bottom of the bathtub with both feet, and depending on the body position, the center of gravity is extremely unstable, which is dangerous and the shower nozzle is difficult to use. Also, after using the shower nozzle, when the body was submerged in the bathtub, there was no place for the head to slowly settle down and the user could not take a long time to bathe.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, when cleaning a body in a bathtub, the present invention axially mounts a stool that swings on the lid of the tub and swings in the front and rear directions, and a bather sits on the stool and moves the body back and forth. If you move the seat to the back, the seat plate will also sway about the spindle to allow the shower nozzle to be used smoothly, and when the body is sunk in the bathtub without using the shower, raise the seat plate and place the head on it. It is an object to provide a lid for a bathtub that allows a user to take a bath slowly.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lid in which a plurality of lids are arranged in a bathtub so as to cover the lid, and one of the lids is provided with a concave opening, and a seating plate is provided inside the concave opening. There is provided a lid for a bathtub, which is pivotally mounted on a spindle to be used as a stool.

[0006]

[Action]

 Remove the lids over the bath, leaving the lid with the seating plate. Place the buttocks on the stool of the lid and put both feet in the bath to contact the inner bottom of the bath. Hold the shower nozzle in front of the bathtub in your hand and radiate hot water from the shower nozzle to wash your body. After washing, replace the water in the bathtub and submerge your body in the bathtub. Stand the stool upright, tilt it further backward, lick the back of the head against the stool, and continue bathing.

In one embodiment, a is a vertical side wall b, c which is attached to a guest room such as an inn, a hotel, or the like and is installed indoors or at home has a long dimension, and the lateral side walls d, e are short dimensions. Each is a long and narrow rectangular bath.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lid made up of two or more pieces, which is made of plastic, wood, light alloy or the like, in which a required proper lid 1a is provided with a concave opening 2 in the front center portion thereof, A seating plate 3 is fitted and housed inside the shaped opening 2, and is pivotally mounted on both side plates 6 and 7 of the recessed opening 2 by supporting shafts 4 and 5. When the stool 3 is rotated to one side around the support shafts 4 and 5, the front edge 8 of the stool 3 is urged against the rear part 9 of the lid 1a so that the stool 3 does not rotate further. I will On the contrary, a supporting member is provided on the back side of both sides 6 and 7 of the lid 1a so that the seating plate 3 does not rotate more than a required angle when the seating plate 3 is rotated to the other side. Omitted.

When using a shower, the lid 1 a is left on the upper surface of the bath tub a, the other lids 1 are removed, the legs are put in the bath tub a, and the stool 3 is seated.

In this case, since the foot is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the bathtub a, if the upper body is swung back and forth while sitting on the stool 3, the stool 3 also swings about the support shafts 4 and 5, but The body position can be adjusted and the center of gravity can be adjusted without applying strong pedal tension, and the body can be cleaned quickly and lightly without causing a fall accident.

Next, FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 will be described. A trapezoidal opening 2a is provided at the center of the front end of the lid 1a. A hook-shaped step 10 is formed in the thickness direction over the entire circumference of the trapezoidal opening 2a. Further, a key step 11 is formed on the lower surface of the outer periphery of the seat plate 3a so as to overlap the trapezoidal opening 2a. A stopper 12 is provided behind the trapezoidal opening 2a of the lid 1a. Since the stool 3a is pivotally attached to the lid 1a by the support shafts 4a and 5a, the stool 3a rotates about the support shafts 4a and 5a as a fulcrum as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and moves downward from the shoulder of the human body. The other body is accommodated inside the bath tub a, the neck is loosely fitted into the trapezoidal opening 2a, and the back of the head contacts the back surface of the stool 3a for bathing.
