Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a residential facility or a bathroom facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a housing facility equipped with a handrail so that an elderly person or a person with a physical disability can safely move along a wall surface of a room such as a corridor of a house or a bathroom. Has been done. Particularly, in a bathroom of a house, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-203358, the floor surface of the bathroom washing room is substantially flush with the floor surface of the adjacent dressing room via the opening / closing door.

However, since the conventional housing equipment or bathroom equipment only has a function as a support aid for walking, it is difficult for an elderly person or a person with a physical disability to use a handrail. When the walking ability had decreased to the extent that it was difficult to walk along, it was not possible to expect an auxiliary effect on the movement within the ward room. As described above, even when the stool is provided, it takes a lot of labor to walk while sitting on the stool. In addition, the above-mentioned handrail in the bathroom facilitates movement in the bathroom and secures safety when taking a bath, but the handrail is interrupted by the opening / closing door interposed between the bathroom and the changing room. However, it was insufficient to assist the dressing room to the bathroom.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elderly person or a body whose walking ability is deteriorated to such an extent that it is difficult to walk by a handrail. It is an object of the present invention to provide a housing facility that enables a person with a disability to easily move in a ward room such as a bathroom or a bathroom facility that can easily move from a dressing room to a bathroom and take a bath.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the housing equipment according to the invention of claim 1 (hereinafter referred to as the first invention) is provided with a handrail provided in a ward room and the handrail. It consists of a transfer chair that can be moved freely.

The bathroom equipment according to the invention of claim 2 (hereinafter referred to as the second invention) is a handrail provided over the bathroom and a dressing room adjacent to the bathroom, and a movable handrail guided by the handrail. It consists of a transfer chair.

[0007]

In the housing equipment of the first aspect of the invention configured as described above, since the transfer chair is movably guided to the handrail provided in the ward room, labor is required along the handrail in the ward room. You can move lightly without.

In the bathroom equipment of the second aspect of the invention, since the transfer chair is movably guided by the handrail provided over the bathroom and the dressing room, the space between the bathroom and the dressing room is set. You can move lightly along the railing without labor.
