Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bathtub device which can be moved between a bathtub and a washroom after being seated, and which can enhance safety.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, the movement between the washroom and the bathtub has generally been done upright.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when moving between the washroom and the bathtub while standing, the floor surface of the washroom or the bottom plate of the bathtub becomes wet and slippery, so it is especially dangerous for the elderly and persons with physical disabilities to fall. There was a need for improvement.

The present invention is based on the fact that a flat portion on which the bather can sit can be formed on the upper surface of the standing wall that surrounds the bathtub and stands up from the washing room. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathtub device that can be moved and can enhance safety.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the bathtub device of the present invention swivels the buttocks so that the user can sit on the upper surface of the standing wall that surrounds the bathtub and stands up from the washroom and that the seated person can move his / her legs between the washroom and the bathtub. A flat part having a width close to the seating surface shape of the buttocks is formed to allow the buttocks.

[0006]

[Action]

 A flat portion is formed on the upper surface of the standing wall portion so that the buttocks can rotate and the seated person can rotate the buttocks so as to move the legs between the washing room and the bathtub. Therefore, the bather can move between the washroom and the bathtub while sitting still by sitting on the flat part and turning the buttocks, preventing falls in the washroom and bathtub, and ensuring safety. It can enhance sex.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, the bathtub apparatus 1 of the present invention can sit on the upper surface 14 of the standing wall 4 that surrounds the bathtub 2 and stands up from the washroom 3, and the seated person can move the leg F between the washroom 3 and the bathtub 2. The flat part 5 for turning the buttocks is formed as much as possible.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub apparatus 1 includes a floor portion 10 that forms a washing space 3 and is provided with a drainage port 16, and a side wall portion 11 that stands up from the periphery of the floor portion 10 except for the entrance A. At the same time, the side wall portion 11 extends beyond the floor portion 10 to form a bathtub mounting portion 12 in which the bathtub 2 is installed.

Further, a standing wall portion 4 standing upright from the floor portion 10 of the washing space 3 is erected between the bathtub mounting portion 12 and the washing space 3, and the standing wall portion 4 and the bathtub mounting portion 12 form the bathtub 2 Surround the perimeter wall.

In addition, in the periphery of the bathtub mounting portion 12 and the standing wall portion 4 facing the opening B for installing the bathtub 2 and in the vicinity of the upper surface 14 of the bathtub mounting portion 12 and the standing wall portion 4, FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, a horizontal and small protruding piece 15 is projected from the upper surface 14 at a slightly low place, and a horizontal mounting piece 17 provided on the upper end of the peripheral wall of the bathtub 2 is mounted on the protruding piece 15. Placed.

By this placement, the upper surface of the placing piece 17 of the bathtub 2 and the upper surface 14 are aligned, and the joints around the placing piece 17 are filled with the caulking agent K.

Further, a counter portion 19 on which soap or the like is placed is formed on one side wall portion 11 surrounding the washing space 3.

When the flat portion 5 aligns with the upper surface 14 of the standing wall portion 4 rising from the washing space 3 and is projected substantially horizontally from the upper surface 14 and the upper surface of the other side wall portion 11. At the same time, the peripheral edge facing the washing space 3 is composed of a straight line portion 21 extending from the side wall portion 11 in parallel with the standing wall portion 4 and a slanting line portion 22 extending obliquely from the straight line portion 21 toward the standing wall portion 4. The flat portion 5 has a substantially trapezoidal shape in plan view.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the straight line portion 21 and the slanted line portion 22 hang down from the straight line portion 21 and the slanted line portion 22 so as not to give pain to a seated person sitting on the flat portion 5. It intersects with the wall portion 23 by forming an arc R.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the flat portion 5 has a buttocks so that a seated person sitting on the flat portion 5 can move the legs F 1 between the floor portion 10 of the washing place 3 and the bottom plate 25 of the bathtub 2. The width is set to be close to the seating surface shape on which the buttocks are seated when the buttocks are turned.

This is because it is difficult for a seated person to move his / her legs between the washing room and the bathtub if the flat part is much larger than the seating surface shape.

Therefore, by providing the flat portion 5 having a width close to the shape of the seating surface, the seated person can easily move the leg F, and the usability can be improved, and in the present embodiment, the hatched portion 22 is provided. Therefore, the movement of the leg F is further facilitated.

Further, since the upper surface of the flat portion 5, the upper surface 14 of the standing wall portion 4 and the upper surface of the placing piece 17 of the bathtub 2 are aligned, it becomes easy to turn the buttocks, and the movement between the washing place 3 and the bathtub 2 is facilitated. Can be done smoothly and safely.

Since the flat portion 5 is formed integrally with the conventional bathtub device that is integrally molded using a synthetic resin or the like, the size and shape of the bathtub 2 are changed. It is not necessary to do so, and the member management is convenient.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the bathtub device of the present invention forms a flat portion on the upper surface of the standing wall portion that stands up from the washroom so that the seated person can rotate the buttocks to move the legs between the washroom and the bathtub. , It is possible to move between the washing room and the bath while sitting on a flat part and sitting, and it is possible to improve the bathing safety especially for the elderly and the physically handicapped.

Further, since the flat portion has a width close to the seating surface shape of the buttocks, the legs of the seated person can be smoothly moved without being obstructed by the flat portion, and the usability is improved. It
