The ventilation of the air was not smooth.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a wall unit which is easy to use by providing a chair and a blower in close proximity, and to which the wall unit is applied. The purpose is to provide a bathroom that allows smooth ventilation.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wall unit according to claim 1 of the present invention is housed in a fan provided in a partition wall, a front face of the fan and an opening of the partition wall. Equipped with a chair. Claim 2
The bathroom unit according to 1 is a bathroom unit in which a bathroom and a dressing room are integrated, and an air intake fan provided in a partition wall of the dressing room and a chair housed in a front opening of the fan are integrated. In addition, a partition wall or ceiling was equipped with an exhaust fan. It is preferable that the chair is formed by a swingable saw.

[0006]

According to the wall unit of claim 1, the bather is
You can eliminate the hot flashes of your body by pulling out the chair and sitting down and operating the fan.

According to the bathroom unit of the second aspect, the air introduced through the intake fan is forcibly exhausted by the exhaust fan together with the humid air (hot air) in the bathroom.

At that time, by forming the chair with a rotatable slats, the bather can receive a comfortable breeze from the fan while sitting on the slouch chair, and can take a wet body after bathing. Water drops do not collect on the chair itself when you sit on it.
