Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the invention [0002] The invention pertains to geriatric cleaning equipment and material. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Known bathtubs display great disadvantages during their utilization by disabled people or by people with certain degree of movement limitations. Therefore, the person may have to resort to showers or refuse these methods of washing. Present bathtubs and showers do not include saunas nor they have the capability of drying people. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0005] The present invention solves the above-noted inconveniences by providing a system for bathing, showering, drying massaging and sauna, which is equally useful for all types of people. [0006] The system of bathing, showering, drying, massaging and sauna for people according to the invention includes a container of vertical arrangement, which has a door for allowing a user to enter the container. The door opening can even accommodate a wheelchair...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] An upper zone of the container can have a swinging cover or a rigid ceiling made up of the main body, in the latter case the upper zone is of greater length or height and adds an upper door that opens laterally by way of a hinge. In the case when the main body is shorter, it uses a stuffed foam rubber cover on its upper edge for a protection from bumping into. The container can have a cross-section that is rectangular, circular, square, oval or of circular sector of 90°, in the last case the geometry adapts to the corner of a bathroom. The cover and / or ceiling is used mainly to facilitate cleaning of the interior of the container and for using the sauna.

[0008] Two elastic elements have a central orifice although eccentric between themselves, it can also use two elastic membranes with two semicircles in their central edges that define a circular orifice that surrounds a user by their neck, both cases allow a user to maintain their head outside the zone of washing or sauna. The elastic elements are used for closing or sealing the container when not in use or during cleaning. The sauna can be taken with the body totally covered, using in this case, a nozzle with a tube that communicates with the outer air for providing a complete sauna that is healthier than the existing saunas.

[0011] The doors can swing lateral or vertically and they can be sliding. In all the cases, the rubber seals prevent any water leakage. The main body of the container and the doors can be transparent or translucent.

[0019] The present invention has the advantage that in some cases it allows use by disable personnel, even allowing entrance in wheelchair. It is practical, simple and economic. A variant of reduced size allows sitting down and it saves water and space.

Problems solved by technology

Known bathtubs display great disadvantages during their utilization by disabled people or by people with certain degree of movement limitations.
