The present invention relates to a folding bath chair that allows the elderly or patients to take a bath while sitting, and when not in use, can be folded and placed on the side of a bathroom, making it easy to clean and store.

[0003] In general, a bathing chair is provided in a hospital bathroom, etc., in which the elderly or patients who have difficulty in showering alone due to poor mobility can conveniently and stably take a shower with the help of a guardian in a seated state.

However, since the bath chair must have a volume in which a user can be seated sufficiently, there is a problem in that it is difficult to store and mount when the basic area is large.

Therefore, a folding bath chair that can be unfolded when in use so that a user can easily sit on it and can be easily folded when not in use and stored at one side of a bathroom in a folded state is mainly used.

As a prior art related to such a folding bath chair, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1767170 discloses a "folding bath chair".

The prior art relates to a foldable bath chair capable of folding a rear leg portion around a front leg portion, and relates to a foldable bath chair for easy storage by reducing the volume of the bath chair when a folding operation is performed.

However, in the prior art, since the front leg and the rear leg are fixed in a bent state to the front and rear sides, respectively, even when folded, it is somewhat difficult to reduce the volume because the curved parts of the front leg and the rear leg protrude to the front and rear, respectively. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to have a folded bath chair on one side.

That is, a bath chair is stored in a bathroom where a bath chair is used for easy use. When placed, there is a concern that it is somewhat difficult for water on the seat to escape.

In addition, although there is an angle adjustment unit capable of adjusting the installation angle of the back support supporting the user's back, it is difficult to stably support the user's load because both sides of the lower end of the back support and the angle adjustment unit are coupled. Since the angle adjustment part has to be selectively inserted into the angle adjustment hole, the user has to adjust it himself, and after adjustment, if the angle is not the desired angle after the wearer sits down, he or she has to adjust it again, which is a hassle in the adjustment process.
