DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bus board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the population has been aging and the number of elderly people living alone has increased. Therefore, a bath board 100 as shown in FIG. 5 has conventionally been marketed so that an elderly person living alone can safely take a bath alone.

The bus board 100 is composed of a board body 10
1, handrail 102, and four misalignment prevention protrusions 10
And the projection 103 for preventing displacement is provided on the board body 1.
01 is provided so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the board main body 101 along the back surface of the board main body 101 and fixed at a predetermined position of the boat main body 101.

That is, the bus board 100 is configured as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the handrail 102 is placed in the bathtub 20 on the opposite side of the washing area.
The main body 101 is placed between the upper edge of the wall 201 on the opposite side to the washing area of the bathtub 200 and the upper edge of the wall 202 on the washing area so as to be on the side of the wall 201 so as to prevent four displacements. The protrusion 103 is slid, and the two walls 201 and 20
2 is mounted on the bathtub 200 by being fixed at a position where it contacts the inner wall surface.

[0005] First, the bather enters the board body 101.
After sitting on the top, the body is placed in the bathtub 2 on the board body 101.
After turning the body in the direction of 00 and grasping the handrail 102, change the body direction and put the feet in the bathtub 200, then grasp the handrail 102 and the edge of the bathtub 200 and move the body in the bathtub 2.
00 can be sunk.

[0006] That is, since the bather can enter the bathtub 200 without raising his / her feet while standing, it stumbles on the upper edge of the wall 202 or loses balance as it straddles the wall 202 of the bathtub 200 and falls down. Accidents that could result in injury.

By the way, the conventional bus board 100
Is to prevent the displacement of the bus board 100 by the four displacement prevention protrusions 103. However, the bather shifts the waist position on the board main body 101 or changes the body orientation. When doing so,
When a large force is applied to the board main body 101, as shown by a chain line in FIG.

Therefore, a bus board 30 as shown in FIG.
0 has been released (see Toyo Seiko catalog). In this bath board 300, a metal plate 302 locked on the outer wall surface of the bathtub on the washing area side is hung down to the back side of the board main body 301 along one end edge of the board main body 301. 2 which can slide freely along the back surface of the main body 301 and can be fixed to an arbitrary position on the board main body.
The wall of the bathtub is sandwiched between two misalignment prevention protrusions 303 (only one side is shown in the figure).

In the bus board 300, a slide bracket 304 having an L-shaped cross section is slidable along the back surface of the board body 301 at an end edge of the board body 301 opposite to the metal plate 302, and is arbitrarily slidable. The slide fitting 304 is provided so as to be freely fixed to a position, and is provided on the slide fitting 304 with two displacement prevention protrusions 306 (only one side in FIG. Not appear).

In the bath board 300, the metal plate 302 is brought into contact with the outer wall surface of the bathtub on the side of the washing tub, and two projections 303 for preventing displacement are formed on the metal plate 302.
And slide it to the position where the wall of the bathtub is sandwiched, and fix it at that position. In addition, the slide fitting 304 is slid to a position where the locking claw 305 is locked to the outer wall surface of the wall opposite to the washing tub in the bathtub, and fixed at that position.
The two displacement prevention protrusions 306 are slid to a position where they come into contact with the inner wall surface of the wall opposite to the washing place, and fixed at that position.

Therefore, according to the bath board 300, the edge of the bathtub on the side of the washing tub is sandwiched between the metal plate 302 and the two misalignment preventing projections 303, and the edge 202 on the opposite side of the washing tub is provided with the slide fitting 304. Of the board main body 301 in a torsion direction.
The board main body 301 can be prevented from being twisted by being firmly received on the wall surface of the bathtub via the metal plate 302 and the locking claw 305.

However, in the case of the bus board 300, the structure is more complicated than that of the conventional bus board 100, and since a heavy one such as the metal plate 302 and the slide fitting 304 is used, there is a problem that the handleability is poor. is there.
