DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fixture and a bathtub attached to a bathroom using the fixture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a bathtub as an article to be installed stationary in a bathroom is fixed by a fixture attached to a wall surface of the bathroom so that the installed bathtub does not move. And adjustment of the bathtub fixing position by this fixture,
Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), a locking member 13 is superimposed on a connecting portion 12b of a wall fixing device 12 in which a mounting portion 12a is mounted on a wall surface 6 of a bathroom with a mounting screw 4. Connection part 1
The screw 5 inserted through the long hole 13c provided in the 3b is screwed into a screw hole (not shown) provided in the connection portion 12b of the wall fixing device 12, and the connection portions 13b, 12b of the locking device 13 and the wall fixing device 12 are screwed. When the locking device 13 is attached to the wall fixing device 12 by tightening and fixing each other, the locking device 13 is slid vertically with respect to the wall surface 6 of the bathroom by the long hole 13c while adjusting the mounting position. In addition to a structure in which the bathtub 1 can be attached, the abutment portion 13a of the locking member 13 abuts against the back surface of the upper edge hanging portion 1a of the bathtub 1 installed in the bathroom so that the bathtub 1 does not move. (For example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-45997).

However, in the case of the structure shown in FIG.
The connecting portion 13b of the locking device 13 is the connecting portion 1 of the wall fixing device 12.
2b, and the fixing portion is fixed at one point by one screw 5. Therefore, the screw 5 inserted from the long hole 13c of the locking member 13 is inserted into the screw hole of the wall fixing member 12. At the time of screwing and tightening, the locking tool 13 whose mounting position has been adjusted may rotate in the horizontal direction around the screw 5 fixing part, or may rotate, or the bathtub 1 may hit the locking tool 13 when the bathtub 1 is installed. In such a case, the locking device 13 rotates in the horizontal direction around the screw 5 fixing portion of the wall fixing device 12,
There was a problem that installation work was troublesome.

Further, a long hole 13c is provided in the connecting portion 13b so that the mounting position of the locking member 13 can be slid and adjusted, and the screw 5 is tightened into a screw hole provided in the connecting portion 12b of the wall fixing device 12. When the fixing force of the locking device 13 is loose and weak, the locking device 13 slides on the connecting portion 12b of the wall fixing device 13, and the installed bathtub also moves.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is intended to prevent the locking members from rotating together at the time of mounting, and to prevent the locking members from being applied even when an external force is applied from the side. An object of the present invention is to provide a fixture and a bathtub that can be maintained in a safe installation state in which the object does not rotate, has good installation workability, and does not move the installation article even after installation.

[0006]

The present invention relates to the following (1) and (2). (1) A wall fixture having a connection portion and attached to a wall surface, a contact portion abutting on a back surface of a vertically lower portion of an upper edge formed on an installation article as an object to be fixed, and the wall fixture. A fixing part having a connecting part to be superimposed on the connecting part and having a fixing part which is attached to the connecting part of the wall fixing part by adjusting a mounting position in a vertical direction with respect to the wall surface, and which is fixed to the wall fixing part. A fixing tool comprising: a connecting surface of connecting portions of a fixing device, wherein an engaging portion of unevenness for preventing movement of the locking device in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface is provided. (2) A bathtub attached to a bathroom using the wall fixing device and the locking device according to (1).

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the wall fixing device and the locking device according to the present invention, a concave and convex engaging portion for preventing the locking device from moving in the vertical direction with respect to the wall surface can be formed on the joint surface between the connecting portions. As described above, using a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene or a metal plate material such as stainless steel plate to a certain thickness (3
mm), and the depth of engagement of the engaging portion of the unevenness is determined by engaging the engaging portion of the uneven surface of the connecting surface between the wall fixing device and the engaging device with the engaging device. The locking member is formed to have a size (about 1 to 1.5 mm) that does not easily rotate or move even when a horizontal external force is applied. The fixing position of the installation article, which is fixed by the contact portion of the locking tool being in contact with the back surface of the lower portion of the upper edge surface of the installation article, is determined by the engagement portion provided at the connection section of the locking tool. The adjustment is performed according to the meshing position between the meshing portion and the meshing portion provided at the connecting portion of the wall fixing device. Therefore, after the engaging portion of the locking device is engaged with the engaging portion of the wall fixing device to adjust the mounting position of the locking device with respect to the wall fixing device, the locking device can be attached to the wall fixing device with a screw. As shown in the drawing, a long hole is provided in the connecting portion of the locking device in a direction perpendicular to the wall surface of a room or the like in which the installation article is installed, and the connecting portion of the wall fixing device is a screw for tightening and fixing the locking device. A screw hole for screwing is formed.

In the present invention, when the article to be installed is a bathtub, the wall fixing device and the locking device are provided at a plurality of locations on the lower surface side of the lower edge of the upper or lower edge of the bathtub. A plurality of the bathtubs are attached to the wall surface of the bathroom at appropriate intervals so that the bathtub can be fixed by being held down by the contact portion.
