[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The symbol (A) shown in the figure is a bathtub chair made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), which constitutes a bathtub for bathing a cared person such as a bedridden elderly person or a sick person. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the chair body (A) in the bath tub has a structure that can be installed between an elevation angle of about 35 degrees and about 60 degrees. (2), a pillow (13) for preventing the head from swaying, and a backrest having a support belt (16) for supporting the body, and a predetermined backrest. On the other hand, a projection (1) for preventing slippage in the bathtub is integrally formed with a seat set at a declination of 45 degrees, so that the care receiver can be accommodated in a chair-seat shape.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the side wall (3) of the chair body (A) in the bathtub is provided with the chair body (A) in the bathtub on both sides of the upper portion of the backrest. The fixing plate (5), which can be instantly attached to the fixing device (B), can be fixed according to the inclination angle of the chair body (A) in the bathtub. The chair body (A) in the bath tub is rotatably moved up and down as shown in Fig. 2 by fitting it into a stainless steel round tube or stainless steel tube (6) attached to the appliance (B) so that it can be used as a rotation axis. it can.

The rotary leg (15) shown in FIGS. 2 and 7 rotates around a rotation axis (10) in a range of about 110 degrees. The rotary leg (15) is composed of a stainless steel pipe or a round steel leg equipped with a spring (14) and a rubber roller inside the side wall (3) of the chair in the bathtub, and is used before and after the care recipient takes a bath. For example, after the care receiver is placed on the chair body (A) in the bathtub with the rotating legs (15) standing up before bathing, the care receiver is submerged in the hot water while putting the rotating legs (15).

After being pressed against the bathtub wall (4), the handle (8) is rotated in the closing direction and fixed to the bathtub wall. At this time, it was attached to both ends of a stainless steel round tube or a stainless steel tube (6) by welding. The flat steel plate (9) is securely bonded to the upper horizontal part of the bathtub wall. After confirming that the fixing device (B) is securely attached to the bathtub wall, the fitting fixing plate (5) attached to the chair body (A) in the bathtub is replaced with a stainless steel round steel tube or a stainless steel tube (6). The installation of the main body (A) of the chair in the bathtub is completed. To remove the chair body (A) in the bathtub from the general bathtub, the reverse operation may be performed.

A general household bathtub has a wall along the wall of the bathtub, which may hinder installation of the fixing device (B) in the bathtub. Therefore, as shown in FIG. A fixing device (B) shall be used. For example, there are cases where two sides are surrounded by the bathroom wall along the bathtub wall, and cases where three sides are surrounded by the bathroom wall. Therefore, the plan view shown in FIG. 3 and the sectional views shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are attached.
