The door frame 2 has a pair of left and right lateral configuration rods 2a, 2a, and upper and lower sides of the upper and lower configuration rods 2b, 2c, which extend over substantially the entire side wall surface 11 facing the washing room 1. The frame is formed in a square shape as viewed from the front, and is formed as a part of the side peripheral wall A 1 like the wall panel 3 forming the other side wall portions. The projecting portion 2g is formed to continuously project, and as shown in FIG. 2, an inward opening door 21 is axially attached to the right lateral construction rod 2 so as to be inwardly openable.

As shown in FIG. 4, the emergency exit 31 is provided with a pair of rotation guide protrusions 4 and 4 which are directly opposed to the left side end portions of the upper configuration rod 2b and the lower configuration rod 2c in the door frame 2. On the other hand, a pair of recesses 2f, 2f are provided from the upper and lower end portions of the lid 31a which has an area enough to cover the space 2d (shown in FIG. 1) in the other half of the door frame 2. The lid 31a is rotatably supported by loosely fitting the rotation guide protrusions 4 and 4 into the pair of recesses 2f and 2f.

The lid 31a has a multi-tiered storage section 5 for bathing equipment such as a shelf for placing articles on the indoor facing surface. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the lid 31a is normally in a state in which the lower end of the lid 31a collides with the door-contacting projection 2g formed by projecting from the lower structural rod 2c of the door frame 2 and cannot be opened outside. When the need arises, the protruding end of the upper rotation guide protrusion 4 and its protrusion are artificially lifted so as to avoid the collision with the door-contacting protrusion 2g and to be able to open outward. The space for moving the lid is secured between the bottom of the concave portion 2f into which 4 is loosely fitted, and at the time of rescue, the emergency exit 31 can be opened by rotating it in the outdoor direction while artificially lifting it upward. It is like this. Therefore, a large gap 6 is formed between the upper surface of the lid 31a and the inner surface of the upper structural rod 2b of the door frame 2 at the normal time, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, moisture leakage or the like is prevented by the sealing strip 7 made of a soft resin, which is fixed to the inner surface of the upper structural rod 2b and whose tip is forcibly brought into close contact with the upper surface of the lid 31a. ing. Although not described in detail in the drawings, a gap formed in another corresponding portion between the lid 31a and the door frame 2 has a sealing material (not shown) fixed to one of the lid 31a and the door frame 2. It is the same as the inward opening door part.

Further, as shown in the drawing, the mating end portion of the inward opening door 21 and the lid 31a has a protrusion 31a 'protruding over the entire outer half of the end of the lid 31a and the end of the inward opening door 21. The inner side of the part and the opposing faces of the projecting ridges 21a protruding over the entire length of the half part abut against each other to form a flat wall body, and at the end of the lid body 31a, A latch (not shown) operated by a knob 21b attached to the opening door 21 is provided with an engaging portion (not shown).

Next, the operation of the bathroom entrance / exit device of this embodiment will be described. Normally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the emergency exit 31 is in a closed state and the inward opening door 21 is in a closed state. If it is necessary to rescue a bather (such as an elderly person or an elderly person) who has fallen, and cannot open the inward opening door 21, rotate the knob 21b as shown in Fig. 6. The engagement relationship of the latch with the engagement portion is released, and the inward opening door 21 itself is slightly forcibly rotated to the indoor side. It is sufficient that the inward opening door 21 can be turned by turning the hand toward the indoor facing surface of the lid 31a. Next, as described above, the lid 31a is lifted slightly upward to open the emergency exit 31 so as to avoid the collision with the door-contacting projection 2g. Then, it enters the room in a standing position while straddling the rescuer who has fallen in the washing room 1 and opens the inward opening door 21 to rescue the rescuer from the bathroom A.

The feature of this embodiment is that the operation of opening the emergency exit 31 is very simple and a large rescue space in which the open area of the emergency exit 31 and the entrance area opened by the inward opening door 21 communicate with each other is formed. This means that the person to be rescued can be carried out quickly and more quickly.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 will be described. In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the door frame 2 is divided into two parts, and an inward opening door 21 is provided in one half. It is common in that it is provided with an emergency exit 31 that can be opened to the other half in the other half, but the intermediate construction rod 2i is vertically installed in the middle of the door frame 2, and the inner opening door 21 is attached to the intermediate construction rod 2i. The lid 31a is detachably screwed with the resin screw 8 and the emergency opening 31 that is formed in the other half is provided with a hooking portion where the latch is hooked by the rotating operation of the provided knob 21b. The structure is different from that of the first embodiment in that it is covered with.

As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the lid 31a is integrally formed in a multi-staged manner with the accommodation parts 5 for bathing equipment such as a shelf for storing objects on the indoor facing surface and the lower side of the door frame 2. , A lid plate portion 31a-1 having the same area as a space portion surrounded by the upper configuration rods 2b, 2c, the left side configuration rod 2a, and the intermediate configuration rod 2i, and the lid plate portion 31a-1. It is formed by a flange 31a-2 bent from the peripheral edge and directly abutting on the inner surface 2a, 2b, 2c, 2i of each of the constituent rods, and the flange 31a-2 is surrounded by a resin screw 8 on the left side lateral configuration. The rod 2a and the intermediate configuration rod 2i are detachably screwed.

The accommodation portion 5 has a lid plate portion 31a-1 that is formed by bulging the accommodation concave portion 5a outwardly while leaving both ends of the lid plate portion 31a-1 projecting from the lower end of the accommodation concave portion 5a. It is integrally molded in multiple stages. Therefore, in this embodiment, the width space of the door frame 2 is used as a part of the accommodation table so that the effective space in the room is not occupied by the protruding shelf portion.

The lid 31a has a pair of left and right handles 9 and 9 attached thereto by utilizing a space between the bent base end portion of the flange 31a-2 and the accommodation recess 5a. , 9 are covered with a pair of cover strips 10, 10 which are elastically and removably fitted between the flange 31a-2 and the outer surface of the accommodating recess 5a so as not to be seen from the corridor or the adjacent room. There is.

Further, reference numeral 12 is a mirror body arranged on the outer surface of the accommodating recess 5a so that the convenience of use can be improved when the adjoining room is a washroom or a dressing room. The mirror body 12 may be fixed to the outer surface of one accommodation recess 5a, and as shown in the figure, a lid 31a having a long length up to about the entire height is used on the outer surface of each accommodation recess 5a. Then, it may be fixed.

Next, the operation of the bathroom entrance / exit device of this embodiment will be described. Normally, the emergency exit 31 is in the closed state and the inward opening door 21 is in the closed state, as in the above-described embodiment. If a bather (elderly person or elderly person) needs to be rescued due to a fall, etc. and the door cannot be opened with the inner door 21, the emergency exit 31 is opened directly. Then, it enters the room by straddling the rescuer who has fallen in the washing room 1, and opens the inside opening door 21 to rescue the rescuer from the bathroom A.

The features of this embodiment are not different from those of the first embodiment, the opening work of the emergency exit 31 is very simple, and the inner and outer surfaces of the lid 31a for the emergency exit 31 are effectively used. Is.

In each of the first and second embodiments, the width dimension of the inward opening door 21 is about 600 mm, and the width dimension of the lid 31a is about 320 to 340 mm. It is needless to say that the lateral width of the lid 31a is determined by comparing the lateral width of the side wall surface 11 facing the wash room 1 with the lateral width of the inward opening door 21. In the case of a so-called large bathroom in which the width of 11 is long, it is possible to provide a large emergency exit 31 that can be opened and closed by a lid 31a having a wide width.
