PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathroom structure for attaining barrier-free properties, especially for older people and physically handicapped people.SOLUTION: Except when bathing, a bathtub edge is stored inside a pit 4 by lowering an upper end part 3a to a position being flush with a floor surface 2. In a case of bathing, a lower end part 3b is elevated to a position being abutted to a projection part 4a, to thereby run hot water for a bathtub space 1b formed by the inner side of the bathtub edge 3 and the floor surface 2. A chair 5 is lowered into the pit 4 at a position where the upper surface of a backrest part 5b is flush with the floor surface 2 in storage. In the case of bathing, the upper surface of a lower end part 5f of a leg part 5d is elevated to a position being abutted to a seal member 6e, to thereby enable a bathing person to perform bathing in a seated state while securing sealability.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】特に高齢者や体にハンデのある人にも優しいバリアフリーを実現する浴室構造を提供する。【解決手段】入浴時以外は上端部3aが床面2と面一位置に下降して、ピット4内に格納される。また、入浴時には下端部3bが突出部4aに当接する位置に上昇して、浴槽縁3内側と床面2により形成される浴槽空間1bに湯張り可能とする。座椅子5は、格納時には背もたれ部5bの上面が床面2と面一となる位置にピット4内に下降する。また入浴時には、脚部5dの下端部5f上面がシール部材6eに当接する位置まで上昇して、シール性を確保しつつ入浴者が座った状態で入浴可能とする。【選択図】図1
