(EN) It is possible to provide a stepping garment for changing clothes which can be changed without worrying about getting dirty on the hem and without hesitation or conspicuousness.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a step for changing clothes has a base on which a pair of support legs which also serve as handles are laterally mounted at upper ends. The lower end of the plate is pivotally supported on the wall surface in the hand-washing room by a hinge, one end of the air damper is connected to the base plate and the other end is connected to the wall surface, and the base plate is normally stored along the wall surface. It is characterized in that the plate is used by opening it downward on the floor.

[0006]

According to the changing step of the present invention thus constructed, it is pivotally attached to the wall surface of the hand-washing room which is isolated by using the female hand-washing room, and is normally stored along the wall surface. When using the base plate, open it on the floor and place it side by side on the floor, and you can put it on the side plate placed side by side on this floor and change clothes, so you do not have to worry about soiling the hem of clothes, etc. , It is possible to change clothes without hesitation in the isolated hand-washing room, and since the base plate is connected and supported by the wall by the air damper, it requires less force to lower the base plate to open and close it when taking it in and out. When it is raised, it rises easily and smoothly, so that the base plate can be easily put in and taken out smoothly.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0008]

1 to 4 of the drawings show an embodiment of a changing step of the present invention. As shown, a changing step 10 of the present invention has a hinge 15 at its lower end. A base plate 11 pivotally supported on the wall 3, a support leg 12 serving also as a handle attached to an outer upper end of the base plate 11, the base plate 11 and the wall 3
It is mainly configured by an air damper 14 provided between the two. The step 10 for changing clothes of the present invention in the illustrated embodiment is shown as an example installed by using a female hand rest room of a normal building, and in this case, it is the innermost part of the female hand wash station 1. A space for changing clothes is formed by using the hand-washing room 2, and a changing step 10 of the present invention is provided.

That is, as shown in the drawing, for example, the space in front of the door of the innermost hand-washing room 2 of the hand-washing room of the female hand-washing room 1 in which the doors are provided in the same direction is used for changing clothes. That is, the door 4 of the innermost hand-washing room 2 is provided as shown in the drawing to be used as a place for changing clothes, and the space 10 formed after the door 4 is used to provide the changing step 10 of the present invention. ing. Of course, if a large area can be taken for the entire hand-washing room, a space for changing clothes can be provided in all hand-washing rooms, and the changing step of the present invention can be installed in all hand-washing rooms.

In the farthest hand-washing room 2 of the illustrated hand-washing room, a step 10 for changing clothes of the present invention is provided on a wall 3 perpendicular to the door 4.
The lower end of the base plate 11 is pivotally attached by a hinge 15. As shown in FIG. 2, the base plate 11 has a lower end pivoted to the wall 3 by a pair of hinges 15 on a support column 6 which is provided at a corner between the vertical wall 3 and the floor 5 so as to extend horizontally. A pair of flat U-shaped handle / support legs 12 are attached near the upper end on the outside, and one end of the base plate 11 is pivotally attached to the wall 3 and the other end is attached to the base plate 11. A pivoted air damper 14 is provided. This horizontally extending support pillar 6
Is for supporting one end of the base plate 11 when the base plate 11 is opened, that is, the lower end of the base plate 11 when stored.
If the base plate 11 can be firmly pivoted to the wall 3 only by the hinge 15, the support column 6 can be omitted.

A normal air damper is used as the air damper 14, and is provided so that the base plate 11 can be opened and closed smoothly with a small force. When the base plate 11 is lowered to open, the weight of the base plate 11 and the damper 14 are used. The base plate 11 can be opened with a small force by the action of, and the base plate 11 can be easily and smoothly raised by the action of the damper 14 when the base plate 11 is raised.

The base plate 11 is preferably composed of a main body 16 having a sandwich structure using an aluminum core or a paper core so that the base plate 11 is lightweight and is durable. In addition, a plywood board or an appropriate single plate is also used as the main body 16. A finishing plate 17 of the same color system or the same material as the surface of the wall 3 of the hand-washing room 2 is used as the lower surface when the base plate 11 is opened, that is, the outer surface during storage, and the upper end is used. A pair of support legs 12 also serving as handles and having the same height as the support columns 6 are mounted in the vicinity in the lateral direction at intervals. In addition, it is preferable to use a cushioning material 18 such as a tile carpet having the same color system as the floor surface on the inside of the base plate 11, that is, on the upper side of the base plate 11 when the base plate 11 is opened. It is particularly preferable from the above points.

The handle / supporting leg 12 provided on the outer upper end of the base plate 11 is in contact with the surface of the floor 5 so that the base plate 11 is supported horizontally when the base plate 11 is opened. And serves to support the base plate 11.

Further, when the base plate 11 is stored, the base plate 11 is attached to the wall 3
Base plate 1 to ensure that it is maintained vertically along
It is preferable to provide a stopper 20 on one side of the upper end of 1. In addition, it is more suitable to place a luggage by providing the shelf 21 above the stored base plate 11.

Open the inside to close the door 4 and lock it, and then remove the stopper 20 at the upper end of the base plate 11 that holds the base plate 11 of the changing step 10 of the present invention. If you grab the handle / support leg 12 and pull it toward you, the base plate 11
Is slowly lowered and opened with the help of its own weight and the air damper 14. When the base plate 11 is sufficiently lowered so that the handle / support legs 12 come into contact with the floor 5, the base plate 11 is supported by the handle / support legs 12 at the upper end side, that is, the upper end side of the base plate 11 when stored vertically. The base plate 11 supported on the floor 5 and at the lower end side, that is, the base plate 11 when the base plate 11 is stored
