Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In recent years, bathtubs made of plastic or stainless steel are often used due to their many advantages such as hygiene, strength, and productivity. In particular, if you try to stand up by placing your hand on the upper edge of the bathtub while sitting after washing your body, your hand will often slip from the upper edge due to water or soapy water because there is no catch. It was extremely inconvenient for the elderly and children to use it, as they were unable to respond quickly and adequately and were likely to cause injury.

The present invention is directed to a bathtub that eliminates this inconvenience and allows the user to stand up and enter the bathtub by holding the bathtub firmly without the hand slipping even when the user stands up.

That is, the present invention provides a hanging edge with protrusions facing inward on the entire inner circumference of the upper edge of the bathtub body made of an appropriate material (for example, synthetic resin, stainless steel, and tile), and also provides a hanging edge with a protrusion facing inward on the entire inner circumference of the upper edge of the bathtub body made of an appropriate material (for example, made of synthetic resin, stainless steel, and tile), and the lower surface of the hanging edge and the inner side wall of the bathtub body. A concave part is provided in the hanging edge near where it intersects with the tip so that it becomes thinner than the tip, so that the fingertip can be caught sufficiently and it will not slip.

An embodiment of the configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 shows the entire bathtub body made of plastic, stainless steel, or tiles, and 2 is a side wall with a rim 3 at the top, and a protruding hook extending inward along the entire inner circumference of the rim 3. Along with providing the edge 4,
A concave portion 5 of an appropriate shape is provided so that the hanging edge 4 near the intersection of the lower surface of the hanging edge 4 and the inner side of the side wall 2 is made thinner than the tip.

Next, the functions and effects of the present invention will be explained.

In use, a bather stands up and enters the bathtub body 1 while grasping the hanging edge 4 with the fingertips A as shown in FIG.

If you still feel like slipping, push your fingertip A deeper into the recess 5 until it touches the recess 5, firmly grasp the hanging edge 4, and stand up.

X is the bathroom floor surface.

In order to prevent slippage, small irregularities may be provided at the portion of the hanging edge 4 where the fingertip A touches, or small irregularities may be carved into other non-slip material (for example, rubber, etc.).

As described above, in the present invention, a hanging edge 4 made of a projection is provided on the entire inner periphery of the upper edge 3 of the bathtub body 1, and a recess 5 is provided so that the base end of the hanging edge 4 is narrower than the tip. In particular, even the elderly and children can firmly grasp it with their fingertips without slipping, so they can bathe safely and comfortably without getting injured while bathing, making it very practical. This is a new idea.
