PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a care bathtub which is manually operated and has a small outside dimension and lightweight, in which the necessary amount of hot water is reduced, thermal insulating properties are superior, and a bathroom area can be reduced by integrating a washing space with a bathtub.SOLUTION: A care bathtub with a bathing wheelchair placed together in the bathtub has a floor and wall comprising a foamed synthetic resin, and is laterally divided in two to the long-side direction in a plan view, and further is longitudinally divided in two at one side. A bathtub base is constituted by parts not divided longitudinally, and movable bathtubs are made by two parts divided in two longitudinally. The movable bathtub is connected with the bathtub base and arms, and circularly moved by using a hinge as a starting point. First of all, a care wheelchair is inserted in the bathtub base, and the bathtub is tightly shut while sandwiching a pivot leg of the bathing wheelchair with the pivot leg formed in one leg with the right and left movable bathtubs, and thereby the care bathtub is completed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】介護用浴槽の操作を手動にし、外形寸法が小さく軽量で、必要湯量を低減した断熱性に優れ、洗い場と浴槽を一体化し浴室面積を小さくできる介護浴槽を提供することにある。【解決手段】入浴用車椅子ごと浴槽に入れる介護用浴槽の床、及び壁を発泡合成樹脂で構成し、平面的に見て長辺方向に対し横に2分割し、さらに、その片方を縦に2分割する。縦に分割しないパーツを浴槽母体とし、縦に2分割した2個のパーツを可動浴槽とする。可動浴槽は浴槽母体とアームで連結し蝶番を起点に円運動する。まず、浴槽母体に介護用車椅子を挿入し、軸足を1本にした入浴用車椅子の軸足を左右の可動浴槽で挟み込みながら密閉し浴槽を完成させる介護浴槽。【選択図】図1
