Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a backrest for a bathtub.

Conventionally, tile bathtubs, enameled bathtubs, and the like have had the disadvantage that when a bather comes into contact with the inner surface of the bathtub during bathing, the bathtub feels cold or hard, especially in winter.

Furthermore, when a bather leans back on the inner surface of the bathtub, their back inevitably comes into direct contact with the inner surface of the bathtub over a wide area, preventing hot water from circulating around their backs, resulting in the disadvantage that their backs cannot be warmed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a backrest for a bathtub that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and allows bathers to bathe comfortably.

Next, the first embodiment of the present invention will be explained according to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the figures, S represents a backrest, and the bottom surface 2 of the bathtub 1 filled with hot water W is located on the right side of the figure and on the right side of the figure. It is attached along the inner surface 3.

Reference numeral 4 denotes the bottom of the backrest S, which is placed on the bottom surface 2 of the bathtub 1 with a gap K through an appropriate number of protrusions 5 to 5 protruding from the back surface of the backrest S, and in this example is made of plastic material. It is shaped like a grid having communication holes 6 to 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a backrest portion hinged 8 to the upper right side surface of the bottom portion 4, and a gap K' is provided to the right inner side surface 3 of the bathtub 1 via an appropriate number of protrusions 9 to 9 provided on the back surface thereof. The upper part 11 is attached to the vicinity of the upper edge 3a of the right inner surface 3 of the bathtub 1, and in this example, it is made of plastic material and
It is shaped like a grid having .about.10.

Next, the operation and effects of the first embodiment having the above-described structure will be explained.

Now, in the bathtub backrest S of this example, the hot water W flows through the bottom part 4 and the backrest part 7 attached to the bottom surface 2 and side surface 3 of the bathtub 1, respectively, on the back sides of these parts 4 and 7, and Since the backrest S is designed to flow from the back side to the front side, when taking a bath with this backrest S placed in the bathtub 1, the back and waist directly come into contact with the inner surface of the bathtub 1, giving the bather a feeling of coldness. The back, waist, etc. are connected to the gaps K and K through the communication holes 6 and 10.
It has the feature of being heated by being brought into contact with the hot water W flowing inside.

In addition, since the bottom part 4 and the backrest part 7 of the backrest S are attached to the inside of the bathtub 1 via the protrusions 5 and 9, they are provided with cushioning properties, so that the bather does not feel the hardness of the bathtub 1. It has a comfortable bathing effect.

Additionally, there is an additional effect that even if cracks occur in the tiles, the bathers will not be harmed.

Furthermore, in this example, the backrest S has 8 hinges, so
It is convenient because it can be folded into a flat shape for storage, and the opening of the bottom part 4 and backrest part 7 can be expanded or contracted arbitrarily to adjust the posture during bathing, and the angle can be adjusted according to the shape of the bathtub 1. be.

Next, the second embodiment will be explained according to FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, the backrest S has a bottom portion 4A and a backrest portion 7A integrally formed, and a cross-section projecting from an upper portion 11A of the backrest portion 7A. It is configured to be latched to the upper right edge 3a of the bathtub 1 with a hook-shaped latching end 12.

Therefore, this example has the advantage that even if the inner surface 3 of the bathtub 1 is vertically shaped, the body can be tilted along the curved surface of the backrest S during bathing.

Note that other functions and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore their explanations will be omitted.

That is, in the present invention, the bottom part 4 placed on the bottom surface 2 of the bathtub 1 and the back support part 7 connected to the bottom part 4 in an upright manner have both parts 4 and 7 attached to the bottom surface of the bathtub 1. Protruding pieces 5 and 9 are respectively provided on the bottom surface 2 and side surfaces 3 of the body with gaps K and K' therebetween, and the bottom surface 4 and the backrest portion 7
The bathtub is provided with circulation holes 6 and 10, respectively, through which the hot water W flowing in the gaps K and K' flows, so that the bather can take a comfortable bath without feeling the coldness or hardness of the bathtub. This is an excellent idea that is extremely practical as a backrest for bathtubs.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a suction cup may be provided on the back surface of the backrest S, or a suction cup and a protruding piece may be provided together, and in this case, the attached position of the backrest S can be fixed to the inner surface of the bathtub. .

Furthermore, a technical means is also envisaged in which a locking piece having a hook-shaped cross section is integrally provided along both ends of the inner surface of the bathtub 1, and a backrest is removably fitted into the locking piece.
