Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of barrier-free facilities, in particular to a foldable barrier-free bathing chair. Background Art

[0002] In the design of barrier-free facilities, bathing chairs are important auxiliary tools, especially for the elderly or people with limited mobility. Bathing chairs in the prior art usually do not have a folding function, especially bathing chairs with toilets, which causes them to take up a lot of space when not in use and are inconvenient to store. In addition, the armrests and seats of traditional bathing chairs do not have the function of linked folding, making the folding process of the chair cumbersome and inconvenient. Although some designs have achieved the linked folding of the chair legs and the seat, the armrests still need to be operated separately, such as the Chinese utility model patent with application number 2023234996388, entitled A Linked Folding Barrier-Free Bathing Chair. The structure of this armrest operating independently will increase the burden on the user. In order to solve this problem, there is a need for a bathing chair with a linked folding function and a toilet, and further able to solve the problem of armrest linkage. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model aims at the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a foldable barrier-free bathing chair.
