Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a bathtub in which a grip bar is attached and fixed to the upper edge of the bathtub.

Conventionally, the grip bar that is attached and fixed to the upper edge of the bathtub has a mouth shape and is mainly attached and fixed directly to the upper edge of the bathtub.

However, because it protrudes like a mouth from the upper edge of the bathtub, there is currently a danger that people may accidentally trip over it when entering or exiting the bathtub, and in the worst case scenario, they may fall.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent feet from getting caught when entering and exiting the bathtub by attaching and fixing the grip bar at a level lower than the upper edge of the bathtub. The plan is to provide bathtubs.

The basic structure is that the bathtub apron surface facing the washing area and the upper edge surface of the bathtub connected to the apron surface are connected by an inclined surface that slopes toward the washing area, and the upper area of the inclined surface and A type of grip bar consisting of a horizontal rod portion and a vertical rod portion is fixed across the lower area, and the horizontal rod portion of the grip bar is positioned at the same level or lower than the upper edge surface level of the bathtub, and the sloped surface The space between them is used as a gripping space.

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

A in the figure shows that the bathtub body has an inclined surface 7 that expands the upper circumferential surface of the seed part 1A, which has a generally rectangular shape in the waist plane, upwardly, and that the upper edge surface 1 of the bathtub, which is horizontal from the inclined surface 7, extends in all directions. Upright edges 8 are formed on three edges excluding the apron surface 2 side that extends to the washing area side.

In addition, the bathtub body A has a higher step 9 in a part connected to one half lA' of the seed part IA, and an upper edge surface of the bathtub connected to the other half IA'' of the tank part 1A on the side of the step 9. 1′
and the apron surface 2 form an inclined surface 3 that slopes toward the washing area side, and an inspection lid 4 is removably fitted to that part, and the inclined surface 3 and the back side between the inspection lid 4 and the step 9 are formed. A grip bar 11 is attached and fixed to the tank wall 10 of each tank.

Step 9 is provided with a non-slip part 12 on the step surface 9a, similar to the bottom surface of the seed part IA, and the upper edge surface 1'' of the bathtub on the washing area side, which is narrow due to being formed in a continuous manner with the tub part 1A, is It is formed one step lower than the other upper edge surfaces 1' of the bathtub so that it is easy to step over when entering and exiting by step 9, and an overflow space B is formed above the bathtub.

The inspection lid 4 has a recess 5 for storing bathroom fixtures 6 formed in a rim 4c having mounting holes 13 at four corners, and the recess 5 is formed by a sag hanging down from the rim 4c of the upper edge. A bottom surface 4b extending horizontally from the lower border 40 is connected to the lower surface 4a to form a right triangular side surface, and a protruding protrusion 13 for preventing slipping is provided in the center. A slightly sloping surface 14 is formed on the side toward the washing area so that even if water flows in, it can be quickly drained without stopping.

In the inclined surface 3 portion on which the inspection lid 4 is removably fitted, an inspection opening 16 is opened in a mounting recess 15 having the same area as the inspection lid 4, and a fitting hole 16 is formed at the upper and lower parts of the mounting recess 15. A fitting piece 18 bent from the edge 4c of the upper and lower edges is fitted to the stepped portion 17 to position the inspection lid 4 on the same plane as the inclined surface 3, and is provided on the back side of the mounting recess 15. Bush 1
The inspection lid 4 is removably attached by screwing the screw 30 into the attachment hole 13 to the inspection lid 9 .

At this time, the recess 5 for storing the bathroom fixtures 6 is located three levels below the slope, but as described above, the upper edge surface 1' of the bathtub, which connects the overflow space B to the step 9, is formed one step lower. Because of this, there is no overflow water flowing in.

The grip bar 11 has a grip bar 11a for bathing and a grip bar 11b for taking out the bath, and the grip bar 11a has a grip bar 11a for taking a bath.
a' and the vertical rod portion 11a' are integrally formed in a continuous manner, and each rod portion 11a', 11 which exhibits a shape and is perpendicular to each other when extended.
a" The end portion is raised to form a seat portion 21, and the seat portion 21
A gasket 23 having a screw insertion hole 22 at the bottom thereof, and a screw hole 24 communicating with the insertion hole 22 are formed, and the mounting step is formed at the slope 3 and the boundary between the slope 3 and the apron surface 2. 25, fit the respective seats 21, and fix them with screws 20 from behind to create a gripping space C on the inclined surface 3. Attach the grip bar 11a so that it does not protrude beyond the level of the upper edge surface of the bathtub and the apron surface 2. is fixed.

The grip bar 11b has a shape similar to that of the grip bar 11a, and a gasket and a screw hole similar to those of the grip bar 11a are drilled in the seat portion of each seat, and screws 20 are secured from behind to secure the grip bar 11b in a set in the tank.

At this time, the grip bar 11a is mounted lower than the one that is directly attached and fixed to the upper edge surface 1 of the bathtub on the inclined surface 3 on the side of the inspection lid 4 near the step 9, so the upper edge surface of the bathtub is straddled when taking a bath. Bathing assistance is provided at a level similar to the 1'' level, which not only makes bathing much easier, but also eliminates the worry of tripping when entering and exiting.

Although such a bathtub is used as a general bathtub, it is actually also used as a bubble bath with a pine surge function, and the various appliances of the bubble bath are also used, and we will briefly explain the various appliances of the bubble bath. do.

The injection nozzle part 2 is located below the tank wall 10 on the backrest side and the leg side.
6, a suction part 27 is disposed below the tank wall 10 on the back side in the longitudinal direction, and the suction part 27 is connected to the injection nozzle part 26 and a pump 28 disposed behind the bath (tub body), and the bath A switching valve 29 that can be operated from within the tank provided on the back side of the sloped surface 7 is connected via a circulating path 30, while an air suction section 31 is provided adjacent to the switching valve 29 in the injection nozzle section 26. By connecting one end of the air passage 32 to the other end of the air passage 32 and mixing air into the return flow, air is caused to collide with the human body as a flow of fine bubbles, thereby achieving a pine surge effect.

The present invention is designed to extend from the horizontal rod part and the vertical rod part across the upper and lower areas of the sloped surface that slopes toward the washing area side, in which the bathtub apron surface and the upper edge surface of the bathtub are connected. Since the R-shaped grip bar is fixed and the horizontal rod portion of the grip bar is positioned at or below the level of the upper edge of the bathtub, the grip bar does not protrude upward from the upper edge level of the bathtub.

Therefore, the risk of accidentally tripping or falling when entering or exiting the bathtub can be prevented, and a safe bathtub with a grip bar can be provided.

Furthermore, there is no need to worry about bulking up during transportation, and there is no need to worry about the grip bar colliding and causing damage when carrying it indoors or the like.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.
