The bathtub according to the present invention not only can reduce the time required to receive water from the conventional bathtub but also can save water that is unnecessarily wasted by taking only necessary water into the bathtub according to the bathing method.

A preferred embodiment of a water saving and multi-purpose bath according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 8. Fig. The water saving and multi-functional bath according to the present invention comprises: an upper plate part (10) forming an upper rim shape; A side portion 20 extending downward from the upper plate 10; And a bottom (30) forming a bottom shape and having a drain; Wherein the side portion 20 comprises a longitudinal side surface portion 21 and a unidirectional side surface portion 22 and the bottom portion 30 has a first bottom portion 31 and a second bottom portion 31, And the depth of the first bottom portion 31 is configured to be deeper than the depth of the second bottom portion 32. [

The longitudinal side surface portion 21 is configured in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub, and the unidirectional side surface portion 22 is configured in the width direction of the bathtub. Generally, since the shape of the bathtub is a rectangular shape, the longitudinal side surface portion and the unidirectional side surface portion are each composed of two pieces. The bottom portion 30 is a portion forming the bottom of the bathtub. The bottom portion 30 and both side portions 21 and 22 are integrally formed to form a space for holding water, thereby constituting one bathtub. And the bath water is contained in the space. Generally, a drain port 33 for discharging water to the outside is formed at one side of the bottom part 30. [

The bottom part 30 according to the present invention includes a first bottom part 31 and a second bottom part 32 having different depths from the top plate part 10 forming the upper rim of the bathtub The depth of the first bottom portion is deeper than the depth of the second bottom portion and the second bottom portion 32 is formed to be inclined at a predetermined slope toward the first bottom portion 31 in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub A drain port 33 is formed in the first bottom portion 31 adjacent to the point where the second bottom portion 32 meets the first bottom portion 31 (the lower end point of the inclined portion) And discharges the wastewater after bathing to the outside. The first bottom portion 31 is inclined toward the drain port 33 so that the wastewater after bathing can flow smoothly to the drain port 33. The second bottom portion 32 is inclined toward the first bottom portion 31 at a predetermined slope (slope), and has a more steep slope from the slope portion 321 toward the first bottom portion.

Here, the first bottom portion 31 is a portion where the user's hips are located, and the second bottom portion 32 is a portion where the user's legs and feet are positioned when the user extends the legs. When the user does not extend his / her legs and takes a different attitude such as a leg or the like, the user can take a bath while the user's hips and legs are positioned on the first floor 31.
