BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathtub which can be switched between full body bathing and lower body bathing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A general bathtub is intended for whole-body bathing in which a shoulder is soaked in hot water. However, if you have a bad heart, taking a whole-body bath puts a strain on your heart, so you must take a bath in the lower body. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a special bathtub for bathing the lower half of the body because a general bathtub is not suitable for those who are limited to bathing in the lower half of the body.

[0003]

However, in a special bathtub for bathing the lower body, a healthy person cannot bathe the whole body. Therefore, in a home where healthy people and people with bad hearts live together,
There was a problem that a general bathtub for whole body bathing and a special bathtub for bathing the lower half of the body had to be installed together, which required a large bathroom.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a bathtub in which one bathtub can be switched between full body bathing and lower body bathing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to provide a bathtub body capable of bathing the whole body and a lower body bathing chair which can be arranged in the bathtub body, and between the bathtub body and the chair. A bathtub capable of bathing the lower half of the body, characterized in that a detachable engaging portion for joining a chair to the bathtub body is formed. The engagement portion is composed of a recess provided on the upper surface of the opening peripheral edge of the bath body and a projection provided on the chair so as to be inserted into the recess, and the bottom surface of the recess communicates with the outside of the bath body. A drainage channel may be provided.

[0006]

According to the present invention, if the chair is removed from the bathtub body, the whole body is ready for bathing, and if the chair arranged in the bathtub is joined to the bathtub body through the engaging portion, the lower body bathing is possible. It becomes possible. Since the chair arranged in the bath is joined to the bath body through the engaging portion, the chair does not move while being fixed in the bath, and the lower body can be safely bathed.

When a drainage channel communicating from the bottom surface of the recess of the engaging portion to the outside of the bathtub body is provided, the water entering the recession is discharged to the outside of the bathtub body through the drainage channel. The recess can be cleaned without accumulating water.
