The present embodiment relates to a shower chair used in a bathroom or the like. In particular, an elderly person or a patient (hereinafter collectively referred to as an elderly person or a seated person) is seated, and a nurse holds a shower head. This is a shower chair for taking a shower bath, and a backrest 2 is integrally formed with a seat plate 1. The seat 1 has a width of about 500 ^mm and a depth of about 370 ^mm and is formed in a substantially square shape in a plan view. The seat 1 and the backrest 2 are made of blown thermoplastic plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC. It is molded. That is, a double flat parison having a slight pressure therein is formed by being lowered between a pair of molds. Therefore, water does not enter inside because of the flat closed bag having double walls.

First, the seat 1 will be described. The seat plate 1 has a concave penetration having a width d = 130 ^mm and a depth h = 120 ^mm through the backrest portion 2 in the front-rear direction of the center portion, that is, from the front side, that is, including the backrest portion 2. A groove 3 is formed. The through-groove 3 is sized so that a nurse's one hand can enter and exit, as well as a normal shower head. Has made it washable.

On the left and right sides of the seat 1, a short diameter of about 30 ^mm ,
Longitudinal through-holes 4 and 4 with a major axis of about 160 ^mm are formed in the front-rear direction, and the outside of these elongated holes 4 is a grip section 5 having a circular section of about 25 ^mmφ . An elderly person's finger is inserted into the elongated hole 4 to grip the grip portion 5.

Next, the backrest 2 will be described. The backrest 2 has an inner R1 of 50 ^mm and an outer R2 of 70 ^mm .
^It is blow-molded integrally from the rear part of the seat board 1 through a gentle curve of ^mm and stands upright. The backrest 2 has a width of about 380 ^{mm on the} lower side and a width of about 32 on the upper side when viewed from the front.
It has a trapezoidal shape of 0 ^mm and a height of about 300 ^mm , and at the center of the upper side thereof, there is formed one horizontally oriented through-hole 6 for a backrest having a short diameter of 30 ^mm and a long diameter of 120 ^mm .
The upper side of the backrest slot 6 is a backrest grip 7 having a circular cross section of about 30 mmφ. The long hole 6 for the backrest is gripped by a nurse to stabilize the shower chair. Of course, it is also used to carry shower chairs.

Next, a description will be given of a mounting bracket for attaching the legs 11 to the seat board 1. On the lower surface side of the through groove 3, a mounting nut 8 is inserted into the width d and the center in the front-rear direction at the time of blow molding to be integrally formed. In the portion of the seat 1 of the mounting nut 8, upper and lower surfaces are bonded to form a rib (also referred to as a weld portion) 9. At the time of molding, the mounting nut 8 is mounted on a slightly larger projection provided on a blow mold (not shown). Therefore, a slightly larger concave portion 10 is formed on the lower surface of the through groove 3. The mounting nut 8 is provided at three other locations as shown in FIG. Then, a metal pipe leg 11 described below is attached to the attachment nut 8 with a bolt 14.

Next, the metal pipe leg 11 will be described. The metal pipe leg 11 is formed by crossing pipes 12, 12 that are bent into two gates. That is, the pipe 12 is bent into a gate shape,
At the top of the gate, a concave portion 13 is formed along the outer surface of the through groove 3. Therefore, since the inner surface of the vertical portion of the concave portion 13 is also in contact with the outer surface of the through groove 3 and supports the seat plate 1 from diagonally front and rear directions, even if the seat plate 1 is rocked back and forth and left and right directions, It is firmly supported by the legs 11. Further, the portal-shaped vertical portion of the leg 11 has double pipes 11a and 11
b so that it can be extended and contracted so that the height of the seat board 1 can be adjusted.

The seat plate 1 and the backrest 2 described above are
Since it is formed to a flat thickness of about 25 ^mm by blow molding, each corner portion is formed with a minimum radius of 10 ^mm . For example, the front and rear ends of the through groove 3 are configured with a 10 ^mm radius, and the grip 5 and the backrest grip 7 are configured with a 15 ^mm radius. And the thickness of one of the double walls of the molded seat plate 1 and the backrest 2 is 4 ^mm ,
These Rs are convenient and can have an appropriate cushioning property.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The elderly person is seated on a shower chair, and the grip portion 5 is lightly gripped. The nurse holds the shower head and cleans the old man's body.
When cleaning the old man's head, the old man holds the grip portion 5, so that even if the head is lowered as it is, cleaning can be performed with confidence. At this time, if the nurse holds the backrest grip 7 with one hand, the nurse does not fall down. Also,
In order to clean the vicinity of the anus, if a nurse's hand or a shower head is inserted into the through groove 3 from the back, the elderly can be cleaned without being shy.

In the seat 1 and the backrest 2 of this embodiment, the outside of the double wall may be dented inward and bonded (weld) to reinforce the outer wall against external pressing force. . Also, the legs of the present embodiment have been described with metal pipes,
The present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 5, a pair of semicircular plastic plates (double-wall blow molding) 14 are formed at the upper end of the circular arc, and a concave shape matching the outer shape of the through groove 3 is formed. Part 13A
May be formed.

[0017]

According to the present invention, since the seat is a flat seat having a double wall, it is convenient for a chair function such as a cushioning property. As it can be replaced with wall ribs, it is a blow molded product,
A strength against external pressing force is obtained. In particular, it is possible to make use of the feature of blow molding that facilitates the formation of the through-holes and the through-grooves. In addition, as a nursing shower chair, the elderly person can take a shower bath by gripping this gripping part, so that while giving a sense of security, this through groove does not take a special position, the vicinity of the anus can be washed, It is convenient for a shower chair with a nurse. In particular, since the seat formed by blow molding is provided with a through groove that penetrates in the front-rear direction including the backrest portion, the nurse holds the shower head with one hand, and removes the long hole of the backrest portion with the other hand. By gripping, the shower chair can be stabilized, and the vicinity of the anus of the seated person can be cleaned from behind by the shower head, and the work of the nurse becomes more efficient, and the shower chair with the nurse can be used.
