DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings. The same reference numerals as those in the conventional case denote the same members. 1 to 4 relate to a transfer tub 12 for a bathtub according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the transfer tub 12, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the same, and FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view showing a lock mechanism of the legs 5, 5 of the bathtub transfer table 12. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a U-shaped hooking member 13 is pivotally attached to the center of the frame 3 on the bathtub 2 side. In addition, legs 5, 5 on the washing side
In this case, both ends of a U-shaped stay 14 composed of three elements 14a to 14c are rotatably pivotally connected to a pair of opposed frames 3 to connect the legs 5, 5 to each other.
The recesses 1 are provided at the lower end portions of 14a and 14b corresponding to 0.
5 are formed. As shown in FIG. 4, a lock member 16 is slidably fitted to both end pieces 14a and 14b, and a lock piece 17 is provided on the lock member 16.
In addition, in FIGS. 1 to 4, the illustration of the saw 4 is omitted, but the configuration other than the above is the same as the conventional case.

The transfer table 12 for a bathtub constructed as described above.
First, the folded legs 5 and 5 are spread so as to be perpendicular to the frame 3, and as shown in FIG.
The lock member 16 slidably fitted to the outside of the stay 4 is lifted up, and in this state, both ends 14
The concave portions 15 provided in the a and 14b are fitted to the connecting member 10 between the legs 5,5.

Then, the lock member 16 is released and slid down by its own weight, and the locking piece 17 is pushed below the connecting member 10 to prevent the stay 14 from falling off. As described above, the stay 14 is prevented from slipping off simply by sliding the lock member 16, and can be easily and one-touched even by an elderly person.

Next, the bathtub side of the frame 3 is placed on the upper end surface of the edge 2a of the bathtub as shown in FIG. 2, and the U-shaped hooking member 13 is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the bathtub. At this time, the hooking member 13 selects a position shown by a dotted line or a position shown by a solid line in FIG.
