Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0001] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a bathtub that allows a bedridden patient to take a bath on a bed.

[0002] [Prior Art] To take a bedridden patient, there is no choice but to take a bath in a facility equipped with special equipment or a mobile bath car equipped with an automobile. A caregiver was needed.

[0003] [Problems to be solved by the invention] A large number of caregivers who can move a sick person into a bathtub and bathing equipment and transport equipment necessary for bathing have been eliminated.

[0004] [Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention solves the problem by making the bathtub into a soft bag shape. As shown in the drawing, a tubular bag-like bathtub (2) made of soft material (vinyl, etc.) with a fleece (1) acting as a brush is attached with a chuck (3) that can be opened and closed up and down. A hot water supply pipe with a switching valve (4) is a bathtub with a drainage pipe with a valve (5) attached to the lower end, and the head part (6) is made of a reinforcement material to prevent it from softening so that hot water does not overflow.

[0005] [Operation] Since this bathtub is a soft bag-like shape, it is possible to take a bath of the sick person by changing clothes on the bed.

[Example] [Example] The bathing method of the present bathtub is as follows: open the bathtub on a bed, change clothes to sleepwear, close the chuck (3), and wash and drain hair while pouring water from the upper pipe of the hot water supply pipe (4). To do.

 Next, pour hot water from the lower pipe of the hot water supply pipe (4) and add soap solution so that the caregiver can brush the whole body from the outside of the bathtub to wash the whole body with brush-like fleece bristles. By lifting your feet, the water will reach the top of your body. When it is finished, drain it and repeat the same procedure twice and three times in the same way. Open it, wipe your body, change to sleepwear, and complete the bath.

[0007] [Effect of the Invention] With the above structure, since the bathtub can be used on a bed, many caregivers and carrier devices are not required. Also, because of the bag shape, the amount of hot water used is very small, about 30 to 40 l, which is economical compared to the bathing amount of (4l + 15l + 8l + 8l) 150l to 200l. People can take a bath. Also, no large bath facility is required.
