PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a universal stool for a bathroom, in which an occupying area in a washing place is small and the height can easily be adjusted. SOLUTION: This universal stool is formed as a rectangular parallelopiped, the three sides of which are different, a non-slip part 18 is fitted to each corner part 12 of the rectangular parallelopiped, and its each face is a recessed surface. When the universal stool is rolled longitudinally or laterally to make the side corresponding to a desired use as a height, the height of the universal stool can be simply adjusted. Needless to say, the stool can be used as a bath stool, and it also serves as a bath board to facilitate going in and out from a washing place to a bathtub. Since each face of the rectangular parallelopiped is a recessed surface, a bathing person can obtain sitting comfortableness, and the installation surface to the floor is supported at four points so as to keep stability. Also since each corner part of the rectangular parallelopiped is provided with a non-slip part, there is not risk of slippage to be safe. In the case where the main body of the universal stool is a hollow rectangular parallelopiped, it is light-weighted to be convenient for carrying, and easy to be handled.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of bathing equipment such as bath boards and bath chairs necessary for bathing elderly or physically handicapped persons. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom tool that occupies a small area in a washing place and that can be easily adjusted in height.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the bathroom universal platform of the present invention, three sides constituting a rectangular parallelepiped are formed into rectangular parallelepipeds having different lengths, and a non-slip portion is attached to each corner of the rectangular parallelepiped. The gist is that each surface of the rectangular parallelepiped is made concave.

The main body of the universal platform is formed as a hollow rectangular parallelepiped made of resin. The non-slip part attached to each corner is made of a thermoplastic elastomer or rubber having a large frictional resistance. It may be adhered with an agent.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the all-purpose bathroom stand of the present invention has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
Each side is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped of different length, so by rolling the universal platform back and forth or left and right,
The height of the versatile platform can be easily adjusted by making the sides have a height corresponding to a desired use. Needless to say, it can be used as a bath chair, and it can also be used as a bath board for making it easy to get in and out of the bathtub from the washing place, so that the occupied area in the bathroom can be small.

Further, since the respective surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped are concave, the bather has good sitting comfort, and the installation surface with the floor is also supported at four points to maintain stability. Further, since the non-slip portion is provided at each corner of the rectangular parallelepiped, there is no danger of slipping and the device is safe. If the body of the universal platform is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped, it is light, convenient to carry, and easy to handle.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.
The main body 10 is It is made by blow molding with P,
As shown in a partial cross-sectional view of each corner 12 in FIG.
And the side a is 20 in FIG. 1 by blow molding.
0 mm, side b is 300 mm, side c is 400 mm, thickness 4
mm. At this time, each surface of the rectangular parallelepiped of the main body 10 was formed so as to be concave. The length of the side a is 100 to 400 mm, and the length of the side b is 200 to 500.
mm and the length of the side c can be appropriately selected in the range of 300 to 600 mm.

The anti-slip member 18 is made of an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer and has a bottom surface 1
4 and the height of the main body 1 when attached to the main body 10
0 is a triangular pyramid having a height forming a rectangular parallelepiped, and a collar 22 is provided in a mounting hole 20 penetrating from the top toward the bottom center.
Is screwed into a nut 16 embedded in the anti-slip member mounting surface 14 to be attached to each corner 12 of the main body 10.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG.
The screw portion 24a may be exposed and embedded in the anti-slip member 18 and screwed to the nut 16 embedded in the corner of the main body 10.

To explain how to use the bathroom universal stand of this embodiment, when washing one's body, as shown in FIG. 4, the main body 10 is turned 90 ° forward or backward from the state shown in FIG. It is used so that it moves to the height of the side b in FIG. In addition, when a child is to be washed, as shown in FIG. 5, the child is used with the side a being at the height as shown in FIG.
