Among the above two prior art examples, the bathroom chair proposed by Patent Document 2 assumes a sideways posture when fixed to a wall panel by suction. For this reason, if the chair is tall, when it is fixed to the wall panel by suction, the chair in a sideways position will not only protrude from the wall panel for a long time and become a hindrance, but also the weight added to the suction part of the seat surface will increase. However, since it is necessary to use a magnet with a large attracting force correspondingly, there is a problem that the cost tends to be high. In addition, when the bathroom chair is fixed to the wall panel in a sideways position, water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the chair are less likely to flow off, and there is a possibility that the draining property is reduced accordingly.

The present invention has been made under the above circumstances, is easy to provide at a low price, and is easy to put away by attracting and fixing it to the wall panel using a magnet, and the posture is less likely to get in the way and has good drainage. To provide a chair for a bathroom in which a user is in a standing posture. It is another object of the present invention to provide a chair for a bathroom which, when stacked and put away, is kept in a stable state without rattling, and which can be put away in a compact form.

A bathroom chair according to the present invention is a bathroom chair in which a body wall with a lower edge opening that acts as a leg is connected downward from the peripheral edge of a seat plate, and a magnet is accommodated in a part of the body wall. The recess is closed by a lid, and the body wall is formed in a downwardly expanding shape. The body wall can be fitted to the body wall in a vertically stacked manner, and the body wall has a lumbar support portion raised from a part of the peripheral edge of the seat plate portion, and the lumbar support portion is provided with the recess. In other words, the lid that closes the recess is exposed on the outer surface of the waist support .

According to the bathroom chair having this configuration, it is possible to attach and fix the chair to the wall panel of the bathroom, which is a magnetic surface, using a magnet when not in use. For this reason, the bathroom chair can be put away by a method of fixing by suction to the wall panel of the bathroom. In particular, in the present invention, the magnet is accommodated in the recess provided in the body wall of the bathroom chair, and the recess is closed with the lid, so that the bathroom chair is attached and fixed to the wall panel of the bathroom using the magnet. is in a standing position. Therefore, even a tall bathroom chair does not protrude from the wall panel for a long time, so it is less likely to get in the way. In addition, since the weight applied to the attraction part to the wall panel does not become so large, it is not necessary to unnecessarily increase the attraction force of the magnet, and the cost of the magnet is reduced, making it easier to provide the bathroom chair at a low price. . In addition, since the bathroom chair is fixed to the wall panel in an upright posture, the water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the chair can easily run off, and the drainability is improved accordingly.

Also, when the bathroom chairs are stacked and put away, the concave portion provided in the waistrest does not get in the way. In addition, since the high waist support portion of the bathroom chair is fixed by suction to the wall panel, the bathroom chair looks as if it were suspended, and the fixed state is stable.

According to the present invention, there is provided a bathroom chair in which a body wall with a lower edge opening that acts as a leg extends downward from the peripheral edge of a seat plate, and a concave part containing a magnet is provided in a part of the body wall. The recess is closed by a lid, and the body wall of the two bathroom chairs is formed in a downwardly expanding shape, wherein the body wall of one of the bathroom chairs is aligned with the body wall of the other bathroom chair in the vertical direction. In addition, the concave portion provided in the body wall of the upper bathroom chair is connected to the seat plate portion of the lower bathroom chair and the seat plate of the upper bathroom chair. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which it is arranged in a gap formed between the parts. According to this, even if the concave portion is formed in such a manner that it protrudes toward the inner surface of the body wall, when the bathroom chairs are stacked and put away, the concave portion provided in the body wall interferes with the stacking. Since rattling does not occur, there is an advantage that the stacking state becomes a stable state without rattling.

In the present invention, the outer surface of the lid that closes the recess is flush with the flat surface provided on the barrel wall, and the barrel wall has a portion that protrudes from the outer surface of the lid. It is desirable to adopt a configuration that does not exist. According to this, since the bathroom chair is attracted and fixed to the wall panel while the entire outer surface of the cover is in contact with the wall panel, the attraction force of the magnet is not weakened and the bathroom chair is effectively fixed. will be used for

As described above, the bathroom chair according to the present invention not only can be attached and fixed to the wall panel using magnets and can be put away. Since the weight applied to the attraction part to the wall panel is not so large, the cost of the magnet is reduced, and the bathroom chair can be provided at a low price. In addition, since the bathroom chair is fixed to the wall panel in an upright posture, the water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the chair can easily run off, and the drainability is improved accordingly. In addition, when the bathroom chairs according to the present invention are stacked and put away, the stacked state is in a stable state without rattling, and can be put away in a compact form.

It is a longitudinal side view of the stacked state.

As shown in FIG. 1, a chair 100 is formed by downwardly extending a body wall 20 with a lower edge opening that acts as a leg from the peripheral edge of a substantially rectangular seat plate portion 10 in a plan view. A drain opening 11 is provided at the center of the seat plate portion 10, and reinforcing frame portions 12 bulging outward are provided at four lower end corner portions of the body wall 20, and further, Four recessed portions 13 for releasing water are provided at 90-degree intervals on the lower end of the trunk wall 20.例文帳に追加Also, the trunk wall 20 is provided with a waist support portion 21 raised from a rear edge which is a part of the peripheral edge of the seat plate portion 10 . This chair 100 is integrally molded with resin. The shape of the seat plate portion 10 may be circular or other shapes.

As shown in FIG. 2, the waist support portion 21 forming part of the body wall 20 is formed in a double-walled structure having a hollow H, and a concave portion 22 containing a magnet 30 is provided in the outer wall portion thereof. The concave portion 22 is watertightly closed by a lid 40 exposed on the outer surface of the waist support portion 21 . Further, the trunk wall 20 has four outer surfaces on the front, rear, left, and right, each of which is formed as a flat surface, and these four outer surfaces are connected to each other by a smooth curved surface. Furthermore, as shown in the drawing, the trunk wall 20 is formed in a shape that spreads downward. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, in the two bathroom chairs 100, 100, the body wall 20 of one bathroom chair 100 is vertically stacked on the body walls 20, 20 of the other chair 100, 100. It is designed so that it can be fitted. As in this embodiment, if the recess 22 containing the magnet 30 is formed in the outer wall portion of the double wall structure having the hollow H of the seat portion 21, two chairs 100, 100 can be assembled as shown in FIG. Since the recessed portion 22 does not protrude inside the body wall 20 when stacked, the recessed portion 22 does not interfere with stacking and causes rattling, thereby stabilizing the stacking state.

4 is a longitudinal side view of a chair 100 according to another embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a longitudinal side view of a state in which the chairs 100 of FIG. 4 are stacked. In the chair 100 shown in FIG. 4, a concave portion 22 containing a magnet 30 is provided in a portion of the body wall 20 slightly below the waist support portion 21 , and the concave portion 22 protrudes inside the body wall 20 . Also, the recess 22 is closed by the lid 40 . The shape of the outer surface of the body wall 20 and the fact that the body wall 20 is formed in a downwardly expanding shape are the same as those of the chair 100 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, in the two bathroom chairs 100, 100 according to this embodiment, the trunk wall 20 of one bathroom chair 100 is replaced with the other bathroom chair 100 in the same manner as described with reference to FIG. It can be externally fitted to the body wall 20 of the chair 100 in a vertically stacked manner. A recess 22 provided in the body wall 20 of one of the upper chairs 100 is formed between the seat plate portion 10 of the other lower chair 100 and the seat plate portion 10 of the upper chair. is arranged in the gap S where the Therefore, even though the recess 22 is formed to protrude toward the inner surface of the body wall 20, the recess 22 does not interfere with stacking and causes rattling. stabilizes.

6 is an exploded perspective view of the recess 22, the magnet 30 and the lid 40, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional plan view of the magnet accommodating portion. 8 is a side view illustrating a state in which the chair 100 is fixed to the wall panel 200 by suction.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the illustrated example, a concave portion 22 provided in the waist wall 20 (including the waist support portion 21) is formed in a rectangular shape, and the rectangular magnet 30 is accommodated in the concave portion 22. As shown in FIG. The recess 22 is closed by the lid 40 attached to the recess 22 . The lid 40 is fixed to the opening of the recess 22 using a bonding means such as an adhesive. Also, the magnet 30 is positioned immovably within the recess 22 . As shown in FIG. 7, the outer surface of the lid 40 is flush with the outer surface of the trunk wall 20. As shown in FIG.

In the chair 100 described above, the magnet 30 housed in the recess 22 of the body wall 20 can be used to attach the lid 40 to the wall panel, which is the magnetic surface of the bathroom. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, if a reinforcing frame portion 12 bulging outward is provided at the bottom corner portion of the shell wall 20, the frame portion 12 in contact with the wall panel 200 becomes an obstacle. As a result, a gap is generated between the lid 40 and the wall panel 200, and the attractive force of the magnet 30 may not work effectively. Therefore, in the two embodiments described above, as shown in FIG. Flat surfaces 14, 14 flush with the flat outer surface (back surface) of the shell wall 20 in which the recess 22 is provided are formed. In this way, the flat outer surface of the shell wall 20 in which the recess 22 is provided and the flush flat surfaces 14, 14 are positioned on the same imaginary plane. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the chair 100 is attached and fixed to the bathroom wall panel 200, which is a magnetic surface, the flat outer surface (back surface) of the body wall 20 provided with the concave portion 22 of the chair 100 and the The flat surfaces 14, 14 of the two frame portions 21, 21 are in contact with the wall panel 200, and the entire outer surface of the lid body 40 is attracted to the wall panel 200 without creating a gap, resulting in the attraction force of the magnet 30. works effectively. In short, this effect is that the outer surface of the lid 40 that closes the recess 22 is flush with the flat surface provided on the barrel wall 20, and that the outer surface of the lid 40 is pushed to the barrel wall 20 from the outer surface of the lid 40. It is exhibited by adopting a configuration in which there is no protruding part.

Since the above-described chair 100 is sucked and fixed to the wall panel 200 in an upright position, even a tall chair 100 does not protrude from the wall panel 200 for a long time, which is an obstacle when cleaning the bathroom. In addition, since the weight applied to the attraction part to the wall panel 200 does not become so large, there is no need to unduly increase the attraction force of the magnet 30, the cost of the magnet 30 is reduced, and the chair 100 is made inexpensive. easier to provide. In addition, since the chair 100 is fixed in an upright position, the water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the seat plate portion 10 and the body wall 20 of the chair 100 are easily run off, and the drainability is improved accordingly. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, if the magnet 30 is accommodated in the concave portion 22 provided in the high seat portion 21 of the chair 100, the chair 100 attached to the wall panel by suction can be suspended. There is an advantage that the fixed state is stable because it becomes
