That is, in the case of (1), the inside of the bathtub is wet, so the feet are slippery and unstable, and when standing, the soles of the feet are hard to wash and tired. In the case of ──, it is far from the faucet fittings, so it is inconvenient to use shower equipment etc. and it is inconvenient to wash away soap, etc.Also, like the floor is wet, the feet are slippery and unstable, and The soles of the feet are difficult to wash and tired when in a worn state. In the case of (1) The edge of the bathtub is narrow, so it is unstable and slippery when sitting down. In the case of ──, the upper surface of the toilet seat lid is smooth and slippery, and it may be broken when a person sits on it. .

As described above, in the conventional sanitary unit, it cannot be said that it is possible to wash the body safely and comfortably while sitting down, and almost no consideration is given particularly to the case where the caregiver bathes the elderly. It is. A sanitary unit in which a chair (mere step) is integrally provided in a bathtub has been proposed (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 33250/1985). In the case of providing, as described in the above-mentioned publication, the bathtub portion is substantially narrowed by an amount corresponding to the provision of the chair, so that the bathtub needs to be expanded.

In the sanitary unit of the present invention, the chair can be made of, for example, plastic such as FRP, wood or metal, or a composite thereof, and attached to the upper part of the bathtub by, for example, hinged connection. The place where the chair can be attached is a faucet fitting etc.
There is no arrangement at the top of the back of the bathtub. In addition, it is preferable to form a drain hole in the chair or take a non-slip means.

[0009]

In the sanitary unit according to the present invention having the above-described structure, when washing the body, the chair is folded down from the upright state (the second state) and turned toward the inside of the bathtub. It can be protruded (first state) and sit there. In this case, since the chair has a sufficient size and strength, it does not slip or become unstable like a rim of a bathtub or a toilet lid, and a person can lean on the peripheral wall of the bathroom. Therefore, the body can be washed safely and comfortably in a comfortable posture, the soles of the feet and the like can be easily washed, and the convenience can be achieved even when the caregiver bathes the elderly.
