浴槽内部の腰掛けとしても用いられるが、しかし浴槽に
湯が入れられて、この湯によって踏み段が水没している
場合は、ステップが入浴者より確認され難くなり、踏み
段より足を踏み外すなど、逆に安全性が低下する可能性
がある。In a bathtub with steps, the steps allow the bathtub to enter and leave the bath safely and easily, and it is also used as a stool inside the bathtub, but when hot water is put in the bathtub, When the step is submerged by the hot water, it becomes difficult for the bather to confirm the step, and the safety may be deteriorated, for example, when the step is removed from the step.
本発明は、従来の踏み段付き浴槽に於ける上述の如き
不具合に鑑み、視覚的に踏み段が入浴者より認識され易
いようにし、踏み段が安全に活用され得るように改良さ
れた踏み段付き浴槽を提供することを目的としている。In view of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional bathtub with steps, the present invention makes it easier for the bather to visually recognize the steps, and improves the steps so that the steps can be used safely. The purpose is to provide a bathtub with bath.
〔課題を解決するための手段〕 上述の如き目的は、本発明によれば、浴槽内部に踏み
段を有する浴槽に於て、前記踏み段が光放射面として構
成されている如き踏み段付き浴槽によって達成される。[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a bathtub having a step inside a bathtub with a step, wherein the step is configured as a light emitting surface, is provided. Achieved by
前記踏み段は光透過性材料により構成され、前記踏み
段の裏面に照明手段が配置されていてよい。The step may be made of a light-transmissive material, and an illumination unit may be arranged on the back surface of the step.
上述の如き構成によれば、踏み段が照明によって照し
出され、光により視覚的に踏み段が入浴者より認識され
易くなる。According to the above-mentioned configuration, the step is illuminated by the illumination, and the step is easily visually recognized by the bather by the light.
以下に添付の図を参照して本発明を実施例について詳
細に説明する。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
第１図及び第２図は本発明による踏台付き浴槽の一つ
の実施例を示している。これらの図に於て、１は浴槽を
全体的に示しており、浴槽１は洗場10の側に浴槽底面２
より一段高い位置に踏み段（浴槽ステップ）３を有して
いる。1 and 2 show one embodiment of the bathtub with step according to the present invention. In these figures, 1 indicates the bathtub as a whole, and the bathtub 1 is located on the side of the washroom 10 and the bottom surface 2 of the bathtub.
A step (bath step) 3 is provided at a higher position.
浴槽１は、繊維強化プラスチック、人工大理石等によ
り構成され、少なくとも踏み段３の部分を光透過性に構
成されている。The bathtub 1 is made of fiber reinforced plastic, artificial marble, or the like, and at least the step 3 is light-transmissive.
踏み段３の裏面にはランプハウス４が取付けられてい
る。ランプハウス４は踏み段３のほぼ全体に亘って延在
する長方形状をなし、このランプハウス４には蛍光灯５
が取付けられている。蛍光灯５は電源コード６によって
浴室の照明スイッチと連動して電気を与えられて発光す
るようになっている。A lamp house 4 is attached to the back surface of the step 3. The lamp house 4 has a rectangular shape extending over almost the entire step 3, and the lamp house 4 has a fluorescent lamp 5
Is installed. The fluorescent lamp 5 is adapted to emit light by being supplied with electricity by a power cord 6 in conjunction with a lighting switch in the bathroom.
蛍光灯５が放つ光線は踏み段３の裏面に照射され、こ
の光線は踏み段３を透過して踏み段３の踏み段面（上
面）より主に上方へ放射するようになる。これにより踏
み段３の踏み段面は光放射面となって、あたかも発光し
ているようになり、この照明効果により踏み段３が浴槽
１内にて水没していても入浴者は視覚的にこれを認識し
易くなる。The light beam emitted by the fluorescent lamp 5 is applied to the back surface of the step 3, and the light beam passes through the step 3 and is mainly emitted upward from the step surface (upper surface) of the step 3. As a result, the step surface of the step 3 becomes a light emitting surface and emits light as if the step 3 were submerged in the bathtub 1 due to this lighting effect. This makes it easier to recognize.
上述の実施例に於ては、照明手段として蛍光灯５が用
いられたが、この照明手段は白熱球であってもよく、こ
の場合は第３図及び第４図に示されている如く、白熱球
７を保持するランプハウス４が踏み段３の長手方向に複
数個並列されればよい。In the above-mentioned embodiment, the fluorescent lamp 5 is used as the illuminating means, but the illuminating means may be an incandescent lamp, and in this case, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, A plurality of lamp houses 4 holding the incandescent bulbs 7 may be arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the step 3.
これらの場合、踏み段３は光透過性であることが必要
であるが、これは透明ではなく、光透過率が20％程度の
半透明であることが好ましく、この方が蛍光灯５あるい

われ易くなり、また踏み段３の裏面に配置される照明手
段が透けて見えなくなるという効果も生じる。In these cases, the step 3 needs to be light-transmissive, but it is not transparent but preferably semi-transparent with a light transmittance of about 20%, which is more suitable for the fluorescent lamp 5 or the incandescent bulb. The light of 7 is diffused over the entire step 3 to facilitate uniform illumination, and the illumination means arranged on the back surface of the step 3 is transparent and invisible.
上述の何れの実施例に於ても、踏み段３の照明のため
に、踏み段の裏面に照明手段を設けるようにしたが、本
発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば発光性の
半導体材料の利用により踏み段３自体が発光するように
構成されていても、或いは踏み段３にそれらの半導体材
料が埋込まれていてもよい。In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the illumination means is provided on the back surface of the step to illuminate the step 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, a light-emitting device is used. The step 3 itself may be configured to emit light by utilizing a semiconductor material, or the step 3 may be embedded with these semiconductor materials.
この踏み段の照明は必ずしもその全面に亘って行う必
要はなく、この照明はスリット状照明或いは輪郭照明で
あってもよい。The illumination of this step does not necessarily have to be performed over the entire surface, and this illumination may be slit illumination or contour illumination.
以上の説明から明らかな如く、本発明による踏み段付

により視覚的に踏み段が入浴者より認識され易くなり、
これにより踏み段が安全に利用されるようになり、また
浴槽内部が発光することによって浴槽自体の演出効果も
得られるようになる。As is clear from the above description, in the bathtub with steps according to the present invention, the steps are illuminated by the illumination, and the steps are easily visually recognized by the bather by the light.
As a result, the steps can be used safely, and the effect of the bathtub itself can be obtained by the light emission inside the bathtub.
