Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nursing care article used in a bathroom, and more particularly to a bathing auxiliary table for handing over a bathtub to assist in getting in and out of the bathtub.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a bathing aid, a bath tub, and the like are known as nursing care products used in a bathroom.

Heretofore, as such products, there have been known resin integrally molded products such as injection molding and blow molding. In addition, a bath tub with a steel pipe or the like inserted as a reinforcement is also proposed (for example, the actual flat plate 7
-39677 gazette).

[0004]

However, among the above-mentioned conventional nursing care products, in the case of a bathing auxiliary base that is used by being handed over to a bathtub, if the bathing auxiliary base is smaller than the width of the bathtub, it falls into the bathtub and the bathtub If the width is larger than the width of the tub, it may project into the washing area adjacent to the bathtub, causing a problem such as stumbling at the projected portion. Therefore, bathing auxiliaries of various sizes that match the widths of individual bathtubs are required. However, bathtubs over which such bathing auxiliaries are usually 650 to 9
If the bathing auxiliary base is formed to have a width of 00 mm and matches the width, a molding die is required for each size, which causes an inconvenience that the molding cost increases.

Further, when such a bathing auxiliary stand is an integrally molded product made of resin, there is a fear of insufficient strength. Therefore,
It is conceivable to insert-mold a steel pipe or the like, but in this case, there is a disadvantage that the molding cost further increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathing auxiliary stand which can provide various sizes at low cost and has excellent strength and safety.

[0007]

A bathing auxiliary base of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a bathing auxiliary base for handing over a bathtub to assist in entering and leaving the bathtub. It is formed by fitting a plurality of resin plates into a frame framed to the length to be passed.

Further, in the above-mentioned bathing auxiliary table, a fitting concave portion and a fitting convex portion are formed between the opposing connecting surfaces of the adjacent plates so that the adjacent plates are fitted with each other. .

[0009]

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

FIG. 1 shows the outline of the entire structure of the bathing auxiliary base 1, and FIG. 2 shows the usage state of the bathing auxiliary base 1.

That is, the bathing auxiliary base 1 is constructed by fitting the plate 3 to the frame 2.

The frame 2 is formed by connecting two ends of two pipe members 21 formed so as to match the width of the bathtub 4 with a connecting member 22 to form a rectangular frame. In this case, the pipe member 21 and the connecting member 22 may be fixed by welding or may be fixed by screws. Also, pipe material 2
1 has an elliptical cross section so that the installation in the bathtub 4 is stable. However, it is not limited to such a tubular member 21 having an elliptical cross section, and may be an ordinary tubular member 21 having a perfect circular cross section. In addition to the pipe member 21, a rod member (not shown) or the like may be used. As the material of the frame 2, a hard resin material, a metal material having rust preventive property such as stainless steel or aluminum, or wood can be used.

The plate 3 is composed of two types, an intermediate plate 3a and an end plate 3b, which are formed to have the same length corresponding to the width of the bathing auxiliary table 1. A predetermined number of intermediate plates 3a are arranged side by side between the end plates 3b arranged at both ends so as to correspond to the length of the bathing assistance table 1.

A recess 32 is formed in each of the connection surfaces 31 of the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b, and a drainage channel for drainage is provided with the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b arranged side by side. It is designed to be configurable.

The intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b are, as shown in FIG. 1, the intermediate plate 3a.
Alternatively, the end plates 3b may be simply arranged side by side, and as shown in FIGS.
Fitting recesses 3 that are fitted to each other on the respective connection surfaces 31
Alternatively, the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b may be integrated with each other by providing 3 and the fitting convex portion 34 and arranging them side by side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a frame fitting portion 35 for fitting with the frame 2 is formed on the back surfaces of the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b.
Among these, the intermediate plate 3a is configured to maintain the fitted state by the claw portions 36 formed on both sides of the fitting portion 35. Further, the end plate 3b is configured to maintain the fitted state by fitting the projection 37 provided on the fitting portion 35 into the pipe from the end of the pipe material 21 of the frame 2.

In this way, with the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b fitted to the frame 2, the handrail 38 is attached to the upper surface of one end plate 3b to form the bathing auxiliary table 1. In addition, since the back surface of the end plate 3b is brought into contact with the bathtub 4 in the bathing assistance base 1 in use, the back surface of the end plate 3b is
A cover (not shown) having an anti-slip effect may be attached using the screw hole 39.

According to this bathing auxiliary base 1, the intermediate plate 3a and the end plate 3b arranged side by side are arranged on the frame 2
Since it is configured to fit in, the bathing auxiliary stand 1 of various sizes can be constructed by adjusting the number of the intermediate plates 3a arranged side by side according to the length of the frame 2. For example, if the width of the intermediate plate 3a is 8 cm,
By adjusting the number of the intermediate plates 3a, the bathing auxiliary | assistant stand 1 from which length differs by 8 cm can be comprised. However, in this case, it is necessary to prepare the frame 2 having various lengths, but in the case of the frame 2, the pipe materials 21 having different lengths, for example, at intervals of 8 cm, according to the width of the intermediate plate 3a. Alternatively, if there are rods, it suffices to frame them with the connecting members 22, so that they can be easily configured.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, since a plurality of resin plates are fitted into the frame, it is necessary to prepare in advance a frame that is framed to the length of the bathtub. For example, by fitting a predetermined number of plates into this frame, a bathing auxiliary table that fits a desired bath can be obtained. Therefore, if there are two types of plates that fit into the frame, one that fits into the end part and the other that fits into the middle part, then the number of plates that fit into the middle part depends on the length of the frame. Since it is possible to adapt to various sizes of bathing auxiliary bases by adjusting, it is possible to provide the bathing auxiliary bases at low cost without requiring a mold for each size. Moreover, in this case, even if the plate is an integrally molded product made of resin by injection molding or blow molding,
Since it is combined with the frame, sufficient strength can be secured and safety can be secured.

Further, according to the present invention as set forth in claim 2, since adjacent plates can be fitted and integrated with each other, even when a load is locally applied to one plate. The load due to this load is transmitted to the adjacent plates, and the deflection and deformation due to this load are dispersed, increasing the user's sense of security.
