Safety equipment for bathtub {A SAFETY DEVICE FOR BATHTUB}

The present invention relates to a safety device for a bathtub, and more particularly, by installing handle members on both sides of a bathtub in which a space is formed so that the elderly, patients, or children can bathe therein, and the user grabs the bathtub with his or her arms when standing up or sitting down while bathing. It relates to a bathtub safety equipment that can prevent safety accidents in advance by holding and supporting the body, and can prevent safety accidents that may occur due to slippery bottom of the bathtub by installing an anti-slip pad on the bottom of the bathtub. .

In general, bathtubs are made of various materials such as stainless steel, reinforced plastic such as FRP, or marble, and are composed of a bottom surface and side walls to contain bath water therein.

The bathtub as described above has a problem in that a safety accident occurs, such as slipping and falling, especially for the elderly or children when the user enters or exits the bathtub during bathing.

Recently, in order to solve the above problem, a safety handle is installed on the wall of the bathroom so that the user can move safely.

The conventional safety handle is installed on the wall of the bathroom, not the bathtub, so that when the user enters the bathtub, the hand does not reach the safety handle on the wall, so that the user enters or exits the bathtub with his or her hand on the rim of the bathtub.

However, in the case of users who do not have strength in their hands, such as the elderly or the elderly, there is a problem that safety accidents occur as the bathtub and hands slip.

And in the case of the safety handle installed on the wall of the bathroom, when the user grabs it by hand while soap is applied to the hand, there is a problem that the safety handle and the hand easily slide by the soap and cannot support the body.

In addition, the conventional bathtub has a problem in that a safety accident occurs as the bottom of the bathtub and the soles of the user's feet slip while holding the safety handle installed on the wall of the bathroom with the hand.
