Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is related to the improvement of bathtubs, and allows for effective use of the limited bathroom space, allows for relaxing bathing with a small amount of hot water, and allows for easy access to bathtubs. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a structure of a bathtub that makes it extremely easy to get up when getting out of bed.

Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.
In the figure, A is a bathtub body integrally molded from metal such as casting or synthetic resin material such as reinforced plastic. The inner shape of the bottom 2 of the inner tub a is narrower than that of conventional bathtubs of this type, and the inner shape of the upper opening edge 3 of the inner tub a is shaped like a backrest wall 4.
The armrest has a substantially trapezoidal shape so as to gradually bulge outward as it goes in the direction, and extends over almost the entire length of both longitudinal side wall surfaces 5, 5 of the inner tank a, and gradually becomes wider as it goes in the direction of the backrest wall 4. A stepped portion 6°6 is formed.

Therefore, the amount of hot water required is significantly less than that of conventional bathtubs, and the inner shape of the upper opening edge 3 of the inner tub a is similar to that of the backrest wall 4.
It is sufficiently wide on the side, on the same level as a conventional bathtub, and has stepped sections 6, 6 for armrests in the same area, so you can take a stable bath in a spacious feeling considering the capacity of the inner tub a. , Moreover, the stepped portions 6°6 for both armrests are connected to the backrest wall 4.
Since the width gradually increases in the direction of the width, a sufficient width can be obtained on the side of the backrest wall 4, which is most needed as an armrest.

In addition, the armrest step portions 6, 6 are provided so as to slope downward from the center of the longitudinal side wall surfaces 5, 5 of the inner tub a toward the backrest wall 4. By shifting the position of the elbows along the slopes of the armrest steps 6, 6, it is possible to take a comfortable posture according to the body shape of the bather. At this time, the user can stand up extremely easily by placing both hands on the stepped portions 6.6 for both armrests at an arbitrary height and raising the body.

Furthermore, since the inner shape of the upper opening edge 3 of the inner tub a is approximately trapezoidal, the upper surface of the opening edge of the bathtub body A is wider on the side opposite to the backrest wall 4 side, and therefore the upper surface of this opening edge The space can be effectively used as a storage space or a faucet mounting part, and the design of the bathroom can be improved.

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the bathroom space and improve the design, and it is also possible to get up from the bathtub extremely easily regardless of the body shape of the bather. In addition, it is possible to take a stable and relaxing bath with a small amount of hot water, and it exhibits excellent effects in terms of both economy and functionality.
