An apron 18 is attached between the upper edge of the apron 18 and the rising portion. A waterproof tub 15 on the tub side and a waterproof pan 16 on the washing basin are connected 20 on the back side of the apron 18. For example, the waterproof pan is connected to a place that is not visible to a bather or a place where water does not turn by the rising portion 19.

In this method, since the connecting portion of the waterproof pan is limited to the back of the apron, the waterproof pan on the washing side becomes large, and it is not possible to split the waterproof pan on the washing floor. When the waterproof pan on the washing area is divided, a connection portion must be provided on the waterproof pan on the washing area. Since water flows into the washing place, water flows over the connecting part of the washing place. In this case, it is necessary to pay particular attention to stopping the water at the connecting part.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a large waterproof pan formed by connecting a plurality of waterproof pans, which is connected in a flat shape and with a water flowing surface used as a washing place. The connected waterproof pan according to claim 1 of the present invention has a drain groove formed on substantially the entire length of one side of the waterproof pan,
By installing a waterproof pan so that the drain grooves face each other and placing a grating on the drain grooves and connecting the facing waterproof pans with a U-shaped split cover material, water flowing toward the connecting portion is connected. Water is drained by drain grooves on both sides of the part, and water does not reach the connecting part, so that watertightness is improved. Thus, since the waterproof pans are fixed by the connecting member, the U-shaped cover does not need to be fixed to the waterproof pans, so that the metal fittings such as screws are not exposed on the U-shaped cover. In the connection waterproof pan according to the third aspect of the present invention, drainage of the upper surface of the connection portion is improved by applying a water gradient to the U-shaped split cover material.
