PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bath room apparatus capable of eliminating the need for a bathing caregiver to carry a pad, and thereby releasing the burden of the bathing caregiver, and also capable of securely holding a carereceivers body whenever necessary during bathing and transportation and thereby safely performing the carereceivers entering and leaving a bathtub.SOLUTION: A bath room apparatus comprises: a placing part 2 on which a carereceiver is placed a movable mechanism which can cause outward sides of the placing part 2 to come over inward sides in a width direction and a position maintaining mechanism which maintains the outward sides and the inward sides moved by the movable mechanism in position. In this configuration, the outward sides and the inward sides can be moved by the movable mechanism and maintained in position by the position maintaining mechanism, so that the carereceivers body can be held easily.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】パッドの持ち運び作業が不要で入浴介助者の負担を軽減でき、しかも入浴時や運搬時の必要時に被介助者の身体を確実に保持でき、安全に入退浴をすることのできる入浴用機器を提供すること。【解決手段】被介助者を載置する載置部2を備えた入浴用機器であって、前記載置部2における幅方向の外方側が内方側に対し上方に位置するように可動させることができる可動機構と、前記可動機構により可動させられた前記部位を所定位置に維持する位置維持機構と、を備え、前記可動機構および前記位置維持機構により、前記部位を可動させ前記所定位置に維持することにより被介助者の身体を保持し易くした。【選択図】図5
