Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides an improved bath device with a shower,
In particular, the present invention relates to a shower-equipped bus system configured so that a person riding in a wheelchair can easily use the shower and toilet bowl.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Bath apparatuses with showers usually provide a sufficient irrigation bath effect, but at the same time cannot function as a flush toilet. When a bather needs to defecate during a irrigation bath, as occurs in hospitals and special nursing homes, conventional equipment presents a significant problem with adequate cleaning of the bathtub.

(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to perform the function of a flush toilet without increasing the size of a conventional shower bath, while discharging shower water separately from filth, thereby preventing shower water drainage from being obstructed by filth. Without,
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bath with a shower that allows a bather, especially a physically disabled person using a wheelchair, to wash and dry the bather while sitting in the wheelchair without lifting the bather from the bathing position.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A flush toilet disposed in a space 25 defined by a relatively low rising part 17 and a perforated upper part 19 disposed at the rear bottom of the bath with shower 1. 27 and its drainage device 26, the perforated seat portion 20 is removably attached to the perforated portion 1.
9, the front wall 5 of the bath with shower 1 is provided with a removable door 10, and the bath with shower 1 has a space between it and the foundation only by a support device extending from the lower part of the rear bottom. 43 and is supported by a suitably designed wheelchair 37
can be introduced into the space 43, at which time the wheelchair 3
The perforated seat part 21 of No. 7 is configured to be introduced while horizontally moving into the bath with shower 1 through the opening of the removed door 10 and to occupy the position of the removed perforated seat part 20. It is characterized by becoming.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The bathtub 1 with shower includes, as an example, two side walls 2 and 3, a rear wall 4 and a front wall 5, and the front wall 5 is provided with a door opening 6.
Support handles 7 are provided on the side walls 2 and 3 so that the user can hold them, and a cushion 8 is provided on the rear wall 4 so that the user can lean on them. A guide groove 9 is provided in the door 10 so that the door 10 can be removed.

The shower bathtub 1 has a shower discharge device, which shower device has at least one supply conduit 11.
The supply conduit 11 is connected to the domestic water system (not shown) and is provided with a shut-off and/or control valve 12 and communicates with at least one suction manifold 13, which has a distribution orifice or It is equipped with a nozzle 14 and performs shower radiation to the user inside the bathtub 1. The distribution orifices or nozzles 14 can be provided in one row in the rear wall 4, and may also be provided in several rows, for example, and/or in side walls other than the rear wall. The shower temperature can be adjusted using a conventional hot/cold water mixer (not shown).

The bathtub 1 has a bottom part 16, a shower water drain port 15 is provided in the bottom part 16, and a standing part 1 is provided in the vicinity of the bottom part 16.
7 is provided, and the shower water collected at the bottom 16 is drained into a normal sewage groove 17A provided at the bottom.
The wastewater is further discharged to the sewage treatment system 18.

In order to obtain a toilet function that does not increase the size of the bathtub, does not clog the drain only for drainage, and does not make subsequent cleaning troublesome, on the other hand, the user of the bathtub can be cleaned from below. In order to dry the shower, the bathtub 1 with a shower according to the present invention includes:
The horizontal perforated part 19 supported by the rising part 17 is the vacant room 2.
Forming the bottom of the seat 20 or 2 during the irrigation bath
1 is provided in the bathtub. This perforated portion 19 is located horizontally and spaced apart substantially below the seat portion 20 or 21 disposed in the space portion 22, and the hole portion 23 is located in the hole portion 24 provided in the seat portion 20 or 21. Located at the bottom. Furthermore, a drainage part 26 is provided in the lower space 25 defined by the upright part 17 and the perforated part 19, so that water can be drained through the hole 24 of the seat part 20 or 21 and the hole 23 of the perforated part 19. Collect the filth that falls and wash it with water.

In order to properly collect and effectively remove waste with a simple means that can be installed in an existing space, the drainage section 2
6 comprises a filth collecting toilet bowl 27. at least 1
Two flushing pipes 28 are connected to the toilet bowl 27, and the flushing pipes 28 are appropriately connected to a domestic water source (not shown), and the flushing operation is controlled by a valve 29 shown diagrammatically. The toilet bowl 27 has its bottom connected to the drainage pipe 3.
0, this drainage conduit 30 has a drain trap 31 for discharging filth to the sewage treatment system 18.

In order to obtain the maximum flushing effect with simple means, the perforated part 19 is provided with a depending flange part 32 which extends along the outer circumference of the perforated part 23 and extends downwardly within the upper part of the toilet bowl 27. This protrudes, thereby forming an inner wall portion of a flushing groove 33 within this perforated portion 19 , this flushing groove 33 opens downward, and the flushing pipe 28 opens into this groove 33 .

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the seat 20 is held within the space 22 via support members 34, 35, i.e. the seat 20 rests on brackets 36 fixed to the side walls 2 and 3. Installed.

The shower-equipped bathtub 1 according to the present invention can also be used for irrigation bathing by a person riding on a wheelchair 37. In this usage example, the seat 20 and door 10 provided in the bathtub 1 are removed, the wheelchair 37 is moved into the bathtub 1, and the seat 21 is placed at a predetermined position in the empty room 22. and in this position, insert the hole (not shown) in the seat 21 into the raised part 17.
above the hole 23 and aligned vertically or substantially in a straight line with the hole.

The wheelchair 37 has three or four wheels 39
an undercarriage 38 and a telescoping column 40 having
This pillar 40 can be operated manually or by a lever 41.
A lifting gear (not shown) that can be operated by is provided inside. At least one support arm 42 is attached to the top of the vertically movable portion of the column 40;
This arm portion 42 extends downward and supports the seat portion 21.

In the above embodiment, a simple wheel chair 37
In order to arrange the seat part 21 at a predetermined position in the bathtub, the drainage device 26 can be provided in the space 25 defined by the raised part 17 in the bathtub. A part of the space 43 is formed within the space 25 and extends above the bottom surface of the bathtub 11 and opens to three sides of the bathtub 1. By configuring it in this way, a car-mounted bathtub is provided. The platform of the chair 37 can be moved under the bathtub 1.

This space 43 includes U-shaped frame members 44, 45 that include at least one horizontally extending leg 47 that supports the shower bath 1 and at least one horizontally extending leg 46 that can be fixed to the foundation surface. The legs 46 and 47 are defined by a web part 48 extending vertically at the rear of the shower bath 1.
are connected to each other by. The drain trap section is connected to the sewage treatment system 18 via a conduit section 49, which extends downward along the web section 48, thereby closing only one side of the space section 43 and blocking the other side. The section is open.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is of course possible to make design changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, it has the same dimensions as a conventional bath with a shower, but also has the function of a flush toilet, allowing a physically disabled person to move horizontally in an appropriate wheelchair while sitting on the perforated seat of the chair. They are installed inside the bus, allowing the use of toilets and showers.
