Description of the Related Art A bathing vehicle to be used is known that includes a support device for preventing lateral rollover.

しかし、この支持装置の有する横転防止機能は、座席部が所定の下降位置にない上昇位置にあるときにおいては発現されるものの、座席部が所定下降位置に至るとその機能が解消される構成であるが故に、当該下降位置での横転防止が実現できず、特に病気や事故等の原因により下肢を自在に屈曲伸展できない入浴者が座席部に対してフットレストを略水平状になした姿勢の搬送車上へ乗り移る際にフットレストないしは座席部に加わる外力の大きさや方向によっては、搬送車の転倒危険性を有しており、安全上の問題点が指摘されていた。 However, the rollover prevention function of the support device is manifested when the seat portion is in the raised position that is not in the predetermined lowered position, but the function is canceled when the seat portion reaches the predetermined lowered position. Therefore, it is not possible to prevent rollover at the lowered position, especially for bathers who cannot flex and extend their lower limbs freely due to illness or accident, etc. Depending on the magnitude and direction of the external force applied to the footrest or seat when moving onto the vehicle, there is a risk of the vehicle falling over, and safety problems have been pointed out.

一方、特許文献２には、高さ調整装置付き簡易ベッド、車椅子、特殊防水シート付き簡易風呂と、１台でその利用に応じた形態に簡単に変換できる構造をもつ多機能付き移動式簡易風呂において、座部を上部に有する本体部の四方に方向自由且つ前後方向に収納可能な転倒防止用固定足が設けられる構成が開示されているが、この座部は本体部から分離し浴槽内へ進入するものではなく、座部の進入に際し固定足が自動的に収納されるといった構成についても何ら記載がなされていない。 On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, a simple bed with a height adjustment device, a wheelchair, a simple bath with a special waterproof sheet, and a mobile simple bath with a multi-function having a structure that can be easily converted into a form according to its use by one unit. In the above, a structure is provided in which a fixed foot for preventing overturning is provided that can be freely stored in the front and rear directions in the four directions of the main body portion having the seat portion at the upper portion, but the seat portion is separated from the main body portion and into the bathtub. There is no description about the configuration in which the fixed foot is automatically stored when the seat portion enters, not the one that enters.

よって、使用者は固定足の引き出し及び収納を手動操作にて逐一行わなければならず煩雑極まりなく、当該操作の省力化が切に望まれていた。 Therefore, the user has to manually pull out and store the fixed foot one by one, and there has been a great demand for labor saving of the operation without any trouble.

図３に示すように、板部材１２には円弧溝１３が刻設され、この円弧溝１３の一方端１３ａから他方端１３ｂにかけては順次弧外方向に形成される第一係止溝１４ａ、第二係止溝１４ｂ、第三係止溝１４ｃが設けられており、操作ハンドル５１と操作レバー１９を同時に把持して操作レバー１９を操作し係止ピン１６を第一係止溝１４ａ、第二係止溝１４ｂ、第三係止溝１４ｃのいずれかの溝に嵌入させることにより、背シート部７の傾斜角度を調整できるようになっている。また、係止ピン１６を他方端１３ｂに臨ませれば背シート部７の傾斜角度を略水平位置に設定できる。 As shown in FIG. 3, a circular groove 13 is formed in the plate member 12, and a first locking groove 14a, a first locking groove 14a formed in the arc outward direction sequentially from one end 13a to the other end 13b of the circular groove 13 and the second end 13b. Two locking grooves 14b and a third locking groove 14c are provided, and the operating handle 51 and the operating lever 19 are simultaneously gripped to operate the operating lever 19 so that the locking pin 16 is connected to the first locking groove 14a and the second locking groove 14a. The inclination angle of the back seat portion 7 can be adjusted by fitting into either the locking groove 14b or the third locking groove 14c. Further, if the locking pin 16 faces the other end 13b, the inclination angle of the back seat portion 7 can be set to a substantially horizontal position.

入浴者を着座部４へ移し乗せる際は主に背シート部７の傾斜角度を１２°に設定し、その後、入浴者の病状や要介護度等に応じて傾斜角度を適宜設定し、続いて、入浴用搬送車１を浴槽５内方に進入させる入浴動作に移る。尚、図２中、２１は背シート部７に対し所定範囲で移動自在に取着される枕部である。 When the bather is transferred to the seating part 4, the inclination angle of the back seat part 7 is mainly set to 12 °, and then the inclination angle is appropriately set according to the bather's medical condition, the degree of care required, etc. Then, the bathing vehicle 1 moves to the bathing operation for entering the inside of the bathtub 5. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a pillow portion that is movably attached to the back seat portion 7 within a predetermined range.

また、詳細な説明は省略するが、図２に示すようにシートフレーム９の左右後方側（基端側）においてサイドガード８が設けられ、このサイドガード８は機能位置（例えば、図２中実線で示す位置）と非機能位置（同図中二点鎖線で示す位置）とのいずれかの位置に切替え可能に構成されている。 Although detailed description is omitted, side guards 8 are provided on the left and right rear sides (base ends) of the seat frame 9 as shown in FIG. 2, and the side guards 8 are functional positions (for example, solid lines in FIG. 2). ) And a non-functional position (position indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure).

また、図２、３、７に示すように、シートフレーム９前端部には入浴者を着座部４へ移し乗せたり、着座部４から降下させる際に入浴用搬送車１の転倒を阻止するためパイプ状の脚体２９が１本設けられている。脚体２９は一方部位がシートフレーム９の前端部において左右に架け渡された横架フレーム９ａに取着された取着部材３０に揺動軸３１を介して軸着され、図２中、実線で示す引出端と二点鎖線で示すシートフレーム９の延在方向と同方向となる収納端との所定区間を揺動可能になっている。脚体２９の他方部位には床面を走行可能な転動輪３２が二輪配設されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 7, in order to prevent the bathing vehicle 1 from falling over when the bather is moved to the seating section 4 and is lowered from the seating section 4 at the front end of the seat frame 9. One pipe-shaped leg 29 is provided. The leg body 29 is pivotally attached to an attachment member 30 attached to a horizontal frame 9a having one portion spanned left and right at the front end portion of the seat frame 9 via a swing shaft 31. In FIG. And a predetermined section between the retracting end and the storage end that is in the same direction as the extending direction of the seat frame 9 indicated by a two-dot chain line. Two rolling wheels 32 that can run on the floor surface are disposed on the other part of the leg body 29.

脚体２９の一方部位近傍には脚体２９を手動で引き出し及び収納する際に把持する把持部材３３が設けられている。この把持部材３３と取着部材３０にわたり引張バネ３４が架け渡されていて、この引張バネ３４により脚体２９は引出端から収納端におよぶ揺動範囲における略中間の所定位置（図２中、Ｂで示す脚体２９の位置）を境界線として、引出端及び収納端のいずれかの端位置に到達するようにその揺動が誘発される。即ち、脚体２９がＢで示す脚体２９の位置よりも引出端寄りにあれば引出端方向への揺動が誘発される。逆に、Ｂで示す脚体２９の位置よりも収納端寄りに脚体２９があれば収納端方向への揺動が誘発される。 A gripping member 33 is provided in the vicinity of one part of the leg 29 for gripping when the leg 29 is manually pulled out and stored. A tension spring 34 is stretched between the gripping member 33 and the attachment member 30, and the leg body 29 is stretched by the tension spring 34 at a substantially intermediate predetermined position in the swing range from the withdrawal end to the storage end (in FIG. 2, Using the position of the leg 29 as indicated by B) as a boundary line, the swing is induced so as to reach the end position of either the drawer end or the storage end. That is, if the leg 29 is closer to the drawer end than the position of the leg 29 indicated by B, swinging in the drawer end direction is induced. On the contrary, if the leg body 29 is closer to the storage end than the position of the leg body 29 indicated by B, swinging in the storage end direction is induced.

従って、収納端にある脚体２９を手動で引き出し、脚体２９が前記境界線を越えると、脚体２９の自重と引張バネ３４の作用が相俟って脚体２９はストッパー３６が横架フレーム９ａ下面に当接する引出端まで揺動しこの端位置で保持される。図４に示すように、浴槽５の底壁５ａとの当接位置に対応する脚体２９の位置にはローラ３５が設けられおり、浴槽５内方に向けて着座部４の押し込みを開始すると、ある段階でローラ３５が底壁５ａ側面に当接し、脚体２９が押され半時計方向に揺動し始める。
更に押し込みを続け、脚体２９が境界線を越えると、引張バネ３４の作用により収納端方向への揺動が誘発され、脚体２９が略水平状態となる収納端まで揺動する。 Therefore, when the leg body 29 at the storage end is manually pulled out and the leg body 29 crosses the boundary line, the weight of the leg body 29 and the action of the tension spring 34 combine to cause the leg body 29 to have the stopper 36 horizontally mounted. It swings to the drawer end that contacts the lower surface of the frame 9a and is held at this end position. As shown in FIG. 4, a roller 35 is provided at a position of the leg body 29 corresponding to the contact position with the bottom wall 5 a of the bathtub 5, and when the pushing of the seat portion 4 toward the inside of the bathtub 5 is started. At a certain stage, the roller 35 comes into contact with the side surface of the bottom wall 5a, and the leg 29 is pushed to start swinging counterclockwise.
When the leg body 29 is further pushed in and exceeds the boundary line, the tension spring 34 induces the swing toward the storage end, and the leg body 29 swings to the storage end in a substantially horizontal state.

また、引出端の端位置において脚体２９の揺動は機械的にロックされないが、入浴者の乗降に際し座シート部６に対し鉛直後方向への外力が作用しても脚体２９が不用意に収納端の方向に揺動しないように引出端の端位置において脚体２９の転動輪３２の軸心を座シート部６に対する脚体２９の揺動中心Ｃよりも前方に位置するように設定している（図２参照）。 In addition, the swing of the leg 29 is not mechanically locked at the end position of the drawer end, but the leg 29 is inadvertent even if an external force in the vertical rear direction acts on the seat sheet portion 6 when the bather gets on and off. Therefore, the axial center of the rolling wheel 32 of the leg body 29 is set to be positioned forward of the swing center C of the leg body 29 with respect to the seat portion 6 at the end position of the drawer end so as not to swing in the storage end direction. (See FIG. 2).

以下、入浴用搬送車１の動作について説明する。入浴介助者は入浴者を載せた他の搬送機器の近傍まで入浴用搬送車１を案内し停車させる。入浴者を着座部４上へ移し乗せるために、操作レバー１９を操作し背シート部４を所望の角度、例えば略水平位置に調節する。必要に応じ、その他の角度に調節して移し乗せ動作を行っても勿論構わない。 Hereinafter, the operation of the bathing transport vehicle 1 will be described. The bathing assistant guides and stops the bathing transport vehicle 1 to the vicinity of other transport equipment on which the bather is placed. In order to move the bather onto the seating portion 4, the operation lever 19 is operated to adjust the back seat portion 4 to a desired angle, for example, a substantially horizontal position. Of course, it is possible to perform the transfer operation by adjusting to other angles as required.

脚体２９が収納端にあるときは把持部材３３を把持し手動で脚体２９を引き出す。このとき、脚体２９は図２中Ｂで示す位置を越えると引張バネ３４と自重の作用により揺動が誘発され引出端に到達するので、脚体２９が引出端と収納端の間の中途半端な位置で保持されることはなく、よって、入浴介助者は脚体２９が引出端と収納端のいずれの位置にあるのかを容易に視認判別することができ、収納端以外の位置に脚体２９がある状態で入浴者の移し乗せ等の動作を行った結果、入浴用搬送車１が転倒してしまうという危険性も低減できる。 When the leg 29 is at the storage end, the grip member 33 is gripped and the leg 29 is pulled out manually. At this time, when the leg 29 exceeds the position indicated by B in FIG. 2, the swinging is induced by the action of the tension spring 34 and its own weight and reaches the withdrawal end, so that the leg 29 is halfway between the withdrawal end and the storage end. It is not held at a half-end position, so the bathing assistant can easily visually recognize whether the leg 29 is at the drawer end or the storage end, and the leg can be placed at a position other than the storage end. As a result of performing an operation such as transferring a bather in the state where the body 29 is present, the danger that the bath transport vehicle 1 will fall can be reduced.

また、引出端の端位置において、脚体２９の転動輪３２の軸心を座シート部６に対する脚体２９の揺動中心Ｃよりも前方に位置するように設定しているため、入浴者の乗降に際し座シート部６に対し鉛直後方向への外力が作用しても脚体２９が不用意に収納端の方向に揺動することを低減でき、この結果、入浴用搬送車１が転倒する危険性を抑制することが可能となる。 Further, since the axial center of the rolling wheel 32 of the leg 29 is set to be located forward of the swing center C of the leg 29 with respect to the seat portion 6 at the end position of the drawer end, the bather's Even when an external force in the vertical rearward direction is applied to the seat portion 6 when getting on and off, the leg 29 can be prevented from inadvertently swinging toward the storage end, and as a result, the bathing vehicle 1 falls. It becomes possible to suppress the danger.

続いて入浴者を移し乗せる側のサイドガード８を手動で非機能位置まで移動させ、着座部４上に入浴者を乗せた後、サイドガード８を機能位置までを元に戻し、背シート部７を所望角度に変更する。 Subsequently, the side guard 8 on the side where the bather is transferred and moved is manually moved to the non-functional position, the bather is placed on the seating portion 4, and then the side guard 8 is returned to the functional position to return the back seat portion 7 to the original position. To the desired angle.

入浴用搬送車１を搬送し浴槽５の正面側にまで案内する。脚体２９の他方部位には転動輪３２が設けられているため、床面に多少の凹凸が存在した場合でも凹凸を転動輪３２が容易に乗り越えることができ脚体２９が搬送の障害になることはない。不図示の浴槽扉を開扉し、着座部４を前方から浴槽５内方に向けて押し込む。そのまま押し込みを続けると、浴槽５の底壁５ａ側面にローラ３５が当接し、脚体２９が反時計回り方向に揺動し始め、図２中Ｂで示す位置を脚体２９が越えると引張バネ３４の作用により脚体２９の揺動が誘発され収納端まで到達する。従って、浴槽５内方へ着座部４を進入させる際に脚体２９の収納操作が不要となり省力化に寄与でき、さらに、入浴介助者が脚体２９の収納操作を誤って忘却し脚体２９が浴槽５底壁５ａに衝突することにより脚体２９や浴槽５が破損するという危険性も回避できる。 The bathing vehicle 1 is conveyed and guided to the front side of the bathtub 5. Since the rolling wheel 32 is provided in the other part of the leg body 29, even if there is some unevenness on the floor surface, the rolling wheel 32 can easily get over the unevenness, and the leg body 29 becomes an obstacle to transportation. There is nothing. The bathtub door (not shown) is opened, and the seat 4 is pushed inward from the front toward the inside of the bathtub 5. If the pressing is continued as it is, the roller 35 comes into contact with the side surface of the bottom wall 5a of the bathtub 5, the leg 29 starts to swing counterclockwise, and when the leg 29 exceeds the position indicated by B in FIG. By the action of 34, the swing of the leg 29 is induced and reaches the storage end. Therefore, when the seat portion 4 enters the inside of the bathtub 5, the storing operation of the leg body 29 is not required, which contributes to labor saving. Further, the bathing assistant forgets the storing operation of the leg body 29 by mistake and forgets the storing operation of the leg body 29. The danger that the leg 29 and the bathtub 5 will be damaged by colliding with the bathtub 5 bottom wall 5a can also be avoided.

底壁５ａ下面から浴槽５の開口方向へ突き出るガイド部５２に台車枠部３側方を沿わせながら入浴用搬送車１を更に押し込むと、まず、前連結支持体２３ａが底壁５ａに当接し押され反時計回り方向に回動する。そして、台車ロックレバー４９の先端４９ａが底壁５ａ下面に設けられる嵌入孔５０に嵌入し、浴槽５に対し台車枠部３がロック固定されるとともに、台車枠部３の突起棒２８が底壁５ａ下面の押圧子２７により押されフック片２５が後方に押される。この結果、後連結支持体２３ｂが底壁５ａ側面に押され反時計回り方向に回動することにより、着座部４の台車枠部３からの分離が可能となり、台車枠部３の一部が底壁５ａの下方へ残った状態で着座部４のみが浴槽５内方へ向けて進入可能となる。着座部４が図６で示す浴槽５内方の所定位置に進入したことを確認した後、浴槽扉を閉扉し不図示の貯湯タンクに予め貯湯していた湯水を浴槽５内へ移送供給し入浴者を入浴させる。 When the transport vehicle 1 for bathing is further pushed into the guide portion 52 protruding from the lower surface of the bottom wall 5a toward the opening direction of the bathtub 5, the side of the carriage frame portion 3 is pushed further, first, the front connection support 23a comes into contact with the bottom wall 5a. Pressed and turned counterclockwise. And the front-end | tip 49a of the trolley | bogie lock lever 49 fits in the insertion hole 50 provided in the bottom wall 5a lower surface, and while the trolley | bogie frame part 3 is locked and fixed with respect to the bathtub 5, the protrusion stick | rod 28 of the trolley | bogie frame part 3 is the bottom wall. The hook piece 25 is pushed backward by the pusher 27 on the lower surface of 5a. As a result, the rear connecting support 23b is pushed by the side surface of the bottom wall 5a and rotates counterclockwise, so that the seating part 4 can be separated from the carriage frame part 3, and a part of the carriage frame part 3 is Only the seating portion 4 can enter the inside of the bathtub 5 while remaining below the bottom wall 5a. After confirming that the seating part 4 has entered a predetermined position inside the bathtub 5 shown in FIG. 6, the bathtub door is closed, and hot water previously stored in a hot water storage tank (not shown) is transferred and supplied into the bathtub 5 for bathing. Bathe the person.

入浴が完了したら、浴槽５内の湯水を貯湯タンクへ戻した後、浴槽扉を開扉し、着座部４を引き出し退出させる。このとき、脚体２９は収納端に収納されたままの状態に保持される。
着座部４の引き出しに応じてシートフレーム９との軸着部に介装される不図示のバネ作用により連結支持体２３が順次時計回り方向に回動し台車枠部３の受具２４に載置され、着座部４と台車枠部３との連結が自動的になされる。 When the bathing is completed, the hot water in the bathtub 5 is returned to the hot water storage tank, and then the bathtub door is opened, and the seat portion 4 is pulled out. At this time, the leg body 29 is held in a state of being stored in the storage end.
The connection support 23 is sequentially rotated in the clockwise direction by a spring action (not shown) interposed in the shaft mounting portion with the seat frame 9 in accordance with the withdrawal of the seating portion 4, and is placed on the support 24 of the carriage frame portion 3. The seating part 4 and the carriage frame part 3 are automatically connected.

次に、図８を参照して本発明の第二の実施形態を説明する。尚、図８において、図１ないし７と同一又は同等の構成要素については、同一符号を付記して、特に説明を要する場合を除いて構成要素の説明は省略する。 Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 8, the same or equivalent components as those in FIGS. 1 to 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the components is omitted unless particularly required.

第二の実施形態では、着座部４の浴槽５内方からの退出時に脚体２９が転倒阻止機能を発揮できるように収納端から自動的に引出端まで引き出されるようにするとともに、引出端の端位置において、脚体２９の揺動を機械的にロックするロック手段３７を脚体２９と座シート部６にかけて付設し、このロック手段３７によるロックを着座部４の浴槽５内方への進入時に自動的に解除するように構成したものである。 In the second embodiment, the leg 29 is automatically pulled out from the storage end to the pull-out end so that the leg 29 can exhibit a fall-preventing function when the seat 4 is retracted from the inside of the bathtub 5. At the end position, a locking means 37 for mechanically locking the swing of the leg 29 is attached to the leg 29 and the seat portion 6, and the lock by the locking means 37 enters the inside of the bathtub 5 of the seat 4. It is configured to release automatically at times.

ロック手段３７は、脚体２９の側部に回動自在に軸着される回動片３８の所定位置に側方に向けて突設されるピン状の係合突部材３９と、一端がシートフレーム９に固着されるとともに他端に係合突部材３９が係合する係合受部４０ａが形成される側面視略逆Ｌ字状の係合受部材４０とから構成される。
係合突部材３９の突設位置と略反対側の回動片３８の位置には大径ローラ４１が設けられ、大径ローラ４１の描く円弧軌跡上であって脚体２９前側面には小径ローラ４２が設けられている。回動片３８は不図示のバネにより図８中、時計回り方向に付勢されストッパー４５により同方向への回動が制止されている。 The locking means 37 includes a pin-shaped engaging projecting member 39 projecting sideways at a predetermined position of a rotating piece 38 that is pivotally mounted on a side portion of the leg 29, and one end of the locking means 37. It is composed of an engagement receiving member 40 having a substantially inverted L shape when viewed from the side, in which an engagement receiving portion 40a is formed which is fixed to the frame 9 and engaged with the engagement protrusion member 39 at the other end.
A large-diameter roller 41 is provided at a position of the rotating piece 38 substantially opposite to the projecting position of the engaging projecting member 39. The small-diameter is provided on the front side surface of the leg 29 on the arc locus drawn by the large-diameter roller 41. A roller 42 is provided. The rotating piece 38 is urged clockwise in FIG. 8 by a spring (not shown) and is prevented from rotating in the same direction by a stopper 45.

従って、浴槽５内方に向けて着座部４の押し込みを開始すると、ある段階で大径ローラ４１が底壁５ａ側面に押され回動片３８が図８中、半時計方向へ回動し小径ローラ４２を押し、脚体２９が同方向に揺動することによって、係合突部材３９と係合受部４０ａとの係合が離脱される。よって、着座部４を浴槽５内方へ進入させる際に都度、ロック手段を手動でロック解除する手間が省け好適である。着座部４をさらに押し込むと、脚体２９は底壁５ａに押されながら収納端まで揺動し収納状態に至る。 Accordingly, when the pushing of the seat portion 4 toward the inside of the bathtub 5 is started, the large-diameter roller 41 is pushed against the side surface of the bottom wall 5a at a certain stage, and the rotating piece 38 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. When the roller 42 is pushed and the leg 29 swings in the same direction, the engagement between the engagement protrusion member 39 and the engagement receiving portion 40a is released. Therefore, it is preferable to save the trouble of manually unlocking the locking means each time the seating portion 4 is moved inward of the bathtub 5. When the seating portion 4 is further pushed in, the leg 29 swings to the storage end while being pushed by the bottom wall 5a and reaches the storage state.

逆に、浴槽５内方から着座部４を退出させていくと、脚体２９の自重と引張バネ４３の作用により収納端方向に脚体２９が揺動し、収納端位置において係合突部材３９と係合受部４０ａが自動的に係合して脚体２９の揺動が自動的にロックされる。脚体２９は収納端位置でロック手段３７により機械的にロックされ保持されるため、着座部４を退出させた後、脚体２９の引き出し操作を手動により行う必要はなく、脚体操作をより一層省力化できることになる。
また、入浴用搬送車１の搬送時は、座シート部６の下方付近は視認し難くく、無意識のうちに浴槽５の底壁５ａ以外の障害物に脚体２９を当ててしまい、脚体２９が少し収納端側に揺動した状態で入浴者の移し乗せを行うという危険な事態が予測されるが、このような危険性も回避できることになる。 On the contrary, when the seat portion 4 is retracted from the inside of the bathtub 5, the leg body 29 swings in the storage end direction due to the weight of the leg body 29 and the action of the tension spring 43, and the engagement protrusion member at the storage end position. 39 and the engagement receiving part 40a are automatically engaged, and the swing of the leg 29 is automatically locked. Since the leg body 29 is mechanically locked and held by the locking means 37 at the storage end position, it is not necessary to manually pull out the leg body 29 after the seating portion 4 is withdrawn, and the leg body operation can be further performed. It will be possible to save more labor.
Further, when the bathing carriage 1 is transported, it is difficult to visually recognize the vicinity of the lower portion of the seat 6 and the leg 29 is unintentionally applied to an obstacle other than the bottom wall 5a of the bathtub 5, Although it is predicted that a dangerous situation occurs in which the bather is transferred while 29 is slightly swung to the storage end side, such a risk can be avoided.

その他、本発明は上述した実施形態に限定されることなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲において適宜変更が可能である。 In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

本発明は、高齢者や身体障害者等の入浴者を搬送車の着座部に座らせた後、この着座部のみを浴槽内方に進入させて座位入浴を行うための入浴用搬送車に適用できるもので、産業上の利用可能性は高く有益なものである。 The present invention is applied to a bathing carrier vehicle for sitting a bathing person such as an elderly person or a physically handicapped person on a seating portion of a transport vehicle and then allowing only the seating portion to enter the inside of a bathtub and bathing in a sitting position. It is possible and has high industrial applicability.
