Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention mainly relates to a bed used for bathing infants, physically disabled elderly people, physically disabled people, sick people, etc.

First, in order to bathe an infant in hot water, one must support the infant's body with one hand.

This is because it is necessary to wash the baby's body with the other hand.

However, as infants move around a lot, it is very difficult to support their bodies with one hand, and they may hit their heads on the edge of the bathtub, injuring themselves, or fall into the hot water, causing water to enter their ears and damage their outer ears. It often causes ear diseases such as inflammation.

In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to pay close attention to the hand that is supporting the infant's body.
The downside is that if you're too nervous about your hands, you'll end up neglecting to wash them.

Furthermore, in the case of couples with physical disabilities, it is extremely difficult to safely bathe their infants, which has become a social problem.

In addition, disabled elderly people, severely disabled people, and sick people are heavy, so it is difficult for caregivers to wash them while holding them.

In particular, when washing the backs, nurses had to turn their bodies over so that their backs were facing upwards, which caused problems such as back pain for nurses due to the hard work of supporting the heavy bodies of the elderly.

Furthermore, as a prior art, Showa 3rd Utility Model Publication No. 136
There is a structure in which a simple sponge bat is placed in the bathtub, as shown in No. 8, but according to this conventional technology, when the bat is pulled up after use, it absorbs a lot of water, so it is heavy and difficult to lift. In addition, because there is no convection of hot water, there is a large difference in water temperature between deep and shallow parts, which is bad for health, and infants and sick people are susceptible to catching colds.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems.The upper surface of the open-cell foamed plastic pad for bathing, which is inserted into the bathtub, has recesses and slopes, and the pad is vertically oriented. By forming a plurality of holes penetrating through the pad, and providing leg pieces on the bottom surface of the pad to form a recess,
Even people with physical disabilities can safely bathe infants, reducing the burden on those bathing bedridden elderly or severely disabled people.Furthermore, an ultrasonic bubble generator is installed in the recess on the bottom of the pad. The purpose is to allow the air bubbles to rise inside the hole and wash the back of the human body, eliminating the need to turn over the heavy human body and wash the back.
Furthermore, by providing holes, water drainage is improved when pulling up the pad, and by convection of hot water,
The purpose is to maintain a constant temperature in the bathtub and manage the health of infants, etc.

Next, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a bathing pad of the present invention, which is mainly used for infants, physically disabled elderly people, physically disabled people, sick people, etc.

The pad 1 is made of open-cell foamed plastic such as urethane foam, and when it is floated in hot water 3 of a bathtub 2, it absorbs the hot water 3 and becomes heavy (the buoyancy decreases by sucking in the hot water). It is designed to sink when placed on it, and the upper surface 1a is formed with appropriate inclinations and unevenness so that the human body can lie in the bathtub 2 with the face exposed above the water surface and the body below the face submerged below the water surface. has been done.

1b...1b is from the upper surface 1a of the pad 1 to the lower surface 1
These holes 1b...1b are used to prevent the human body lying on the upper surface 1a of the pad 1 from slipping, and also to drain water from the pad 1 taken out of the hot water. It has the effect of improving the temperature, making it easier to lift, and causing hot water to circulate above and below the pad 1.

Note that 1c is a leg piece that has holes 1b and separates the lower surface la' of the pad 1 from the bottom surface of the bathtub 2 to allow hot water to circulate.

By spacing them apart in this manner, convection is caused in conjunction with the hole 1b.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, 1d... is a recess formed between the leg pieces 1c.

An ultrasonic bubble generator can be housed in this recess.

These air bubbles then rise inside the holes 1b and clean and massage the back of the human body.

In this invention, the upper surface of an open-cell foamed plastic pad for bathing, which is inserted into a bathtub, has a recess and an inclination, and a plurality of holes are formed vertically through the pad. Since the leg piece was provided and the recess was formed,
Even people with physical disabilities can safely bathe infants, reducing the burden on those bathing bedridden elderly and severely disabled people.Furthermore, an ultrasonic bubble generator is installed in the recess on the bottom of the pad. The air bubbles can rise inside the small hole and allow the back side of the human body to be washed, making it possible to avoid having to turn over the heavy body to wash the back side. This has the effect of improving drainage when pulling up the pad, and by circulating hot water, keeping the temperature in the bathtub constant and managing the health of infants and the like.

The drawings show one embodiment of the present invention, with the first being a perspective view and the second being a perspective view.
The figure is a sectional view of the device in use, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line ■--■ in FIG. 2. 1...Bathing pad, 1a...Top surface.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The body is placed vertically on a pad made of open-cell plastic such as urethane foam with a sloping top surface so that a person can lie in the bathtub with their face above the water surface and their face below submerged. A large number of holes are formed through the hole.
A bathing pad characterized in that the lower surface of the pad is provided with leg pieces to be separated from the lower surface of the bathtub and has a recessed portion.
