Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce costs for equipment by installing at least one or more equipment for sanitary services including a bathtub and a toilet in an appropriate place and on the position lower than the plane of a living room for elderly or disabled persons where a space other than the above-mentioned appropriate place is left as a living space. CONSTITUTION:Two mats in a corner of an eight-mat room are removed. To the space 1, a bathtub 2 and a toilet unit 3 are installed as an integrated sanitary equipment with their upper side opened, and a sanitary equipment unit 4 is formed. The upper end of the openings 5 and 6 of the bathtub 2 and the toilet unit 3 are made to be lower than the upper end of the space 1 so that an elderly or a disable person can make good use of the equipment for taking of the bath or using of the toilet without being helped. The upper openings 5 and 6 are optionally opened and shut with a shutting means 9 that covers the two openings together. When the openings are shut, the space can be used as a part of a living space 8. The bathtub 2 and the toilet unit 3 can be made usable by opening the upper openings 5 and 6. Thereby equipment for sanitary services can be installed without reducing the space for living.

Traditionally, when an elderly person with physical disabilities or a disabled person uses sanitary equipment such as a bath, toilet, and washstand at home, they have to straddle the wall around the bathtub in the bathtub, and straddle the toilet bowl in the toilet. It would be difficult to use these sanitary equipment without the assistance of a caregiver, or even worse, something that would not be a hindrance to an able-bodied person would become a hindrance before reaching the location where these sanitary equipment were installed. Above all,
Bathing is indispensable for these elderly and disabled people, as it promotes metabolism and improves the body's maintenance functions. Bathing facilities for elderly people with physical disabilities and the disabled may be fully equipped, for example, in nursing homes or hospitals, but it is difficult to access these facilities due to distance and cost considerations. This does not happen frequently, and it is difficult to install such equipment in the homes of physically challenged elderly people and people with disabilities due to space and cost issues. This problem is sure to become even more prominent in the future, when the aging of the population is a concern.

As a result, we focused on the fact that even if an elderly person or a disabled person has a physical disability and has difficulty walking due to lameness, the hands function in almost the same way as an able-bodied person. The idea was to enable an elderly person with physical disabilities or a disabled person to reach a desired sanitary equipment while crawling.
