DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] [1] The bathroom of the present disclosure is equipped with a plurality of hanging members for hanging a sheet-made bathtub that is used by filling it with hot water in a suspended state, and the position at which the bathtub is hung can be freely changed in at least one of the height direction and width direction of the bathtub. With this configuration, by changing the position at which the bathtub is hung in at least one of the height direction and width direction of the bathtub, the shape, size, etc. of the bathtub in the suspended state can be changed. [2] In the bathroom described in [1] above, the hanging members may be arranged in a row in at least one of the height and width directions of the bathtub. With this configuration, by appropriately selecting the hanging member for suspending the bathtub from the hanging members arranged in a row in at least one of the height and width directions of the bathtub, the shape and size of the bathtub in the suspended state can be changed. [3] In the bathroom described in any of [1] to [2] above, the hanging member may be configured to be able to freely move the position from which the bathtub is hung in at least one of the height direction and width direction of the bathtub. With this configuration, by moving the position from which the bathtub is hung in at least one of the height direction and width direction of the bathtub, the shape and size of the bathtub in the hanging state can be changed. [4] In the bathroom described in any of [1] to [3] above, the hanging member may be attached to the wall. With this configuration, the bathtub can be hung on the wall, making effective use of the bathroom space.

[0009] <Embodiment 1> In this embodiment, a sheet-made bathtub 10 is suspended in the bathroom 50, as shown in Figure 1. The bathtub 10 can be attached and detached to the bathroom 50. By removing the bathtub 10, the bathroom 50 can be suitably used as a shower room. The bathroom 50 does not have a freestanding bathtub.

[0010] The bathroom 50 comprises a wall W, a ceiling C, a floor F, a faucet device 60, and a hanging member 70. The faucet device 60 and the hanging member 70 are fixed to the wall W. The wall W comprises walls W1, W2, and W3, which are connected to one another, and a wall (not shown) that faces wall W3. The wall (not shown) has an entrance / exit for passing between the bathroom and the adjacent changing room. A door is provided at the entrance / exit. The floor F has a gentle downward slope toward a drain (not shown).

[0011] The faucet device 60 is a shower device. The faucet device 60 has a faucet 61, a water outlet pipe 62, an overhead shower 63, and a hand shower 65. The faucet 61 is connected to a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe (not shown). The faucet 61 is a mixer faucet. The faucet 61 can adjust the temperature of the hot and cold water being discharged, adjust the amount of hot and cold water being discharged, switch between water discharge and stop, switch the flow path, etc. The faucet 61 can select either the water outlet pipe 62, the overhead shower 63, or the hand shower 65 to discharge hot and cold water. The hot water or cold water discharged from the faucet device 60 is referred to as hot and cold water regardless of the temperature, the mixing ratio of hot and cold water, etc.

[0012] The water outlet pipe 62 extends from the faucet 61. The water outlet pipe 62 extends in a direction away from the wall W1. The overhead shower 63 is provided above the faucet 61. The overhead shower 63 is connected to the faucet 61 via piping 67. The piping 67 extends vertically upward from the faucet 61 along the wall W1 and is bent at its upper end in a direction away from the wall W1. The overhead shower 63 is provided at the tip of the piping 67. The hand shower 65 is connected to the faucet 61 via a hose 69. The hand shower 65 is movable within the length of the hose 69.

[0013] The hooking portion 26 of the bathtub 10 is hooked onto each hanging member 70. Each hanging member 70 is bent in a J-shape so that the hooking portion 26 can be hooked onto it from above. The arrangement of the hanging members 70 will be explained in detail later.

[0014] The bathtub 10 comprises a bathtub main body 20 and an engaging portion 26. The bathtub main body 20 is used by hanging it in the bathroom 50 and filling it with hot water. The state in which the bathtub main body 20 is hung in the bathroom 50 and filled with hot water is referred to as the "used state." As shown in Figure 2, the upper edge portion 15 of the bathtub main body 20 is roughly rectangular in shape when viewed from above in a typical used state. The upper edge portion 15 of the bathtub main body 20 has a pair of short sides 16 and a pair of long sides 17. A rope 30 is arranged on the upper edge portion 15 of the bathtub main body 20 in the used state. The rope 30 may be a polyester rope.

[0015] The bathtub body 20 is made of a single sheet material 13 cut to a predetermined shape. The sheet material 13 has poor elasticity and is flexible, impermeable (waterproof), and durable against tension.

[0016] Eight engaging portions 26 are provided at predetermined intervals on the upper edge 15 of the bathtub body 20. The engaging portions 26 are provided at both ends and the middle of the long side 17 of the upper edge 15 of the bathtub body 20. The engaging portions 26 are formed by folding back a portion of the rope 30 into a loop.

[0017] The extension direction of the upper edge 15 of the bathtub 10 when in use corresponds to the width direction of the bathtub 10. In the case of a bathtub 10 of a typical shape, the extension direction of the short side 16 and the extension direction of the long side 17 both correspond to the width direction of the bathtub 10. The up-down direction of the bathtub 10 when in use corresponds to the height direction of the bathtub 10. The up-down direction on the wall W corresponds to the height direction of the bathtub 10 when in use. The horizontal direction on the wall W corresponds to the width direction of the bathtub 10 when in use.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, hanging members 70 are provided on walls W1, W2, and W3. A total of eight hanging members 70 are provided, three on each of the opposing walls W1 and W2, and two on wall W3. The hanging members 70 provided on each of walls W1, W2, and W3 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. The three hanging members 70 provided on wall W1 are located below the faucet 61. The intervals between the three hanging members 70 provided on wall W2 are the same as the intervals between the three hanging members 70 provided on wall W1. All hanging members 70 are arranged at the same height.

[0019] An example of a bathing method using bathroom 50 will be described. First, the bather sets up bathtub 10 in bathroom 50. Specifically, the bather installs bathtub 10 by hooking hooking portion 26 of bathtub main body 20 onto hanging member 70 of bathroom 50. At this time, the bather can select the hanging member 70 to hang bathtub 10 from among eight hanging members 70. This allows the bather to change the shape and size of bathtub main body 20 depending on the bather's physique, the number of bathers bathing at the same time, etc.

[0020] As a specific example, the bather can shape the bathtub body 20 into a standard shape, as shown in Figure 2. In this case, the bather can select a hanging member 70 provided on wall W3 or one of the two hanging members 70 provided on either wall W1 or W2, the one closest to wall W3, to hook the engaging portion 26 to. The bathtub 10 is placed along wall W3 of the bathroom 50, and a washing area for washing the bather's body is formed on the entrance / exit side of the bathroom 50. In this case, the engaging portion 26 may or may not be hooked to the hanging member 70 on wall W3. By hooking the engaging portion 26 to the hanging member 70 on wall W3, bending of the long side 17 on the wall W3 side can be prevented.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, bathers can change the shape of the bathtub body 20 to a different shape than the standard shape. In this case, bathers can select the hanging member 70 provided on the wall W3 and the two hanging members 70 on either wall W1 or W2 that are farther from the wall W3 to hang the engaging portion 26. In this case, the shape of the bathtub 10 becomes trapezoidal in a plan view. In this case, the size of the bathtub 10 will be larger than a bathtub 10 with a standard shape.

[0022] The bather can change the shape and size of the bathtub 10 by appropriately selecting the hanging member 70 that suspends the engaging portion 26. The bather can select any hanging member 70 that can suspend the bathtub 10.

[0023] After installing the bathtub 10 in the bathroom 50, the bather fills the bathtub 10 with hot water. Specifically, the bather operates the faucet device 60 in the bathroom 50 to pour hot water at the appropriate temperature into the bathtub main body 20. Once the bather has poured the amount of water appropriate for their bathing method into the bathtub main body 20, they stop the discharge from the faucet device 60.

[0024] Next, the bather enters the bathtub 10. If the bathtub 10 has a standard shape, as shown in Figure 2, the bather can relax and bathe alone. If the bathtub 10 is larger, as shown in Figure 3, the bather can bathe with a child, for example. The bather can bathe in a variety of ways using the sheet bathtub 10.

[0025] When the bather has finished bathing, he or she removes the drain plug (not shown) from the bathtub main body 20 to drain the hot and cold water. The bather then removes the bathtub 10 from the wall W. The bather can easily remove the bathtub 10 from the bathroom 50 by simply removing the attachment part 26 from the hanging member 70. The bather then washes the removed bathtub 10 and hangs it on a faucet device 60 or the like to dry it. The bather then folds the bathtub main body 20 to make it compact and stores it outside the bathroom.

[0026] The embodiment configured as described above provides the following advantages. The bathroom 50 is equipped with eight hanging members 70. The hanging members 70 hang the sheet-made bathtub 10. The bathtub 10 is used by filling it with hot water while it is hanging. The bathroom 50 allows the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung to be freely changed in the horizontal direction (the width direction of the bathtub 10). With this configuration, by changing the hanging position of the bathtub 10 in the horizontal direction, the shape, size, etc. of the bathtub 10 in its hanging state can be changed.

[0027] Eight hanging members 70 are arranged horizontally. With this configuration, the shape and size of the hanging bathtub 10 can be changed by appropriately selecting the hanging member 70 that hangs the bathtub 10 from the eight hanging members 70 arranged horizontally.

[0028] The hanging member 70 is attached to the wall W. With this configuration, the bathtub 10 can be hung from the wall W, allowing the space in the bathroom 50 to be used effectively.

[0029] <Embodiment 2> Next, a bathroom 50 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figure 4. The hanging member 70 of the bathroom 50 of this embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung can be freely moved in the vertical direction. Note that components similar to those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0030] The bathroom 50 of this embodiment, like embodiment 1, is equipped with a wall W, a ceiling C, a floor F, a faucet device 60, and multiple hanging members 70. Figure 4 shows two of the multiple hanging members 70. Each hanging member 70 has a holding member 71 and a hook member 72. The holding member 71 is fixed to the wall W. The holding member 71 is a rail extending in the vertical direction. The holding member 71 has multiple fixing portions 73 formed thereon. The multiple fixing portions 73 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. The multiple fixing portions 73 are connected by slits 74 extending in the vertical direction. The width dimension of the slits 74 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixing portions 73.

[0031] Hooking member 72 is passed through engagement portion 26 of bathtub 10 and fixed to fixing portion 73 of holding member 71. As a result, each engagement portion 26 is hooked onto hanging member 70. Hooking member 72 can be moved vertically through slit 74 and fixed to the desired fixing portion 73 without being removed from holding member 71.

[0032] By lowering the position of the hooking member 72, the bather can lower the height position of the upper edge 15 of the bathtub main body 20. This allows the bather to make the bathtub 10 shallower. On the other hand, by raising the position of the hooking member 72, the bather can raise the height position of the upper edge 15 of the bathtub main body 20. This allows the bather to make the bathtub 10 deeper.

[0033] As described above, in this embodiment, the bathroom 50 allows the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung to be freely changed in the vertical direction (height direction of the bathtub 10). With this configuration, by changing the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung in the vertical direction, the shape, size, etc. of the bathtub 10 in the hanging state can be changed.

[0034] The hanging member 70 can freely move the position where the bathtub 10 is hung in the vertical direction. With this configuration, by moving the position where the bathtub 10 is hung in the vertical direction, the shape, size, etc. of the bathtub 10 in the hanging state can be changed.

[0035] <Embodiment 3> Next, a bathroom 50 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figure 5. The hanging member 70 of the bathroom 50 of this embodiment differs from that of the second embodiment in that the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung can be freely moved horizontally.

The multiple fixing portions 73 are connected by slits 74 extending horizontally.

[0037] Two hook members 72 are provided for one holding member 71. As in embodiment 2, each hook member 72 is passed through the engagement portion 26 of the bathtub 10 and fixed to the fixing portion 73 of the holding member 71. As in embodiment 2, the hook member 72 can be moved horizontally through the slit 74 and fixed to the desired fixing portion 73 without being removed from the holding member 71. A bather can reduce the width dimension of the bathtub main body 20 by narrowing the distance between the two hook members 72. A bather can increase the width dimension of the bathtub main body 20 by widening the distance between the two hook members 72.

[0038] As described above, in this embodiment, the bathroom 50 allows the position at which the bathtub 10 is hung to be freely changed in the horizontal direction (the width direction of the bathtub 10).
