Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To assemble a bathtub at an optional place to make it usable by assembling elements formed by placing a plate of honeycomb structure between wooden plates into a bathtub by connecting with connecting pieces so that it can be disassembled. SOLUTION: A bottom wall 1 forming an assemblable bathtub is constituted by covering a resin-made honeycomb structure 13 with a resin film 14, and arranging a plurality of hinoki-made plates 15, 17 on both sides. Also on its ends hinoki-made end members 19 are attached. These are integrated with adhesive. The side walls 7 for bathtub are similarly constituted by covering a resin-made honeycomb structure 21 with a resin film 22, attaching hinoki-made plates 23, 25 on both sides, and integrating hinoki-made end members 27, 29. Assembling is made by fitting projected parts 34 of the side walls 7 into grooves 30 of the bottom wall 1, and connecting and fixing with connecting pieces 35 so that they can be disassembled. The side walls themselves are similarly connected. Thus, the bathtub can be assembled at an optional place.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall structure of the assembled bathtub according to the present embodiment. The assembled bathtub according to the present embodiment has a rectangular parallelepiped shape,
It is composed of a bottom wall 1, side walls 3, 5, and side walls 7, 9 which are bathtub elements. Further, a resin pallet 11 is attached to the lower surface side of the bottom wall 1 at three places, so that a gap is formed on the lower surface side of the bottom wall 1.

As for the bottom wall 1, as shown in FIG.
First, there is a honeycomb structure 13 made of resin, and this honeycomb structure 13 is covered with a resin film 14 (for example, a nylon film, having a thickness of 0.2 to 0.3 mm). This is because the honeycomb structure 13 has a heat insulating function. A plurality of cypress boards 15 and 17 are arranged on both sides thereof.
It is sandwiched between 5 and 17. An end member 19 made of cypress is attached to the end. The honeycomb structure 13, the plates 15, 17 and the end members 19 are bonded and fixed by an adhesive. The end members 19 are arranged on four sides of the bottom wall 1 and are assembled in a frame shape as a whole.

Next, as for the side wall 7, as shown in FIG. 2, there is a honeycomb structure portion 21 made of resin, and this honeycomb structure portion 21 is made of a resin film (for example, a nylon film having a thickness of 0.1 mm). 2 to 0.3 mm) 22. This is because the honeycomb structure 21 has a heat insulating function. Next, a plurality of hinoki plate members 23 and 25 are arranged on both sides thereof, and the honeycomb structure 21 is sandwiched between the plurality of hinoki plate members 23 and 25. In addition, end members 2 made of hinoki are also provided at the upper and lower ends.
7 and 29 are arranged. Then, they are bonded and fixed with an adhesive. The end members 27, 29
Is similar on the opposite side.
As in the case of the bottom wall 1, the whole is assembled in a frame shape.

The plurality of hinoki plate members 23 and 25 have a fitting structure along the vertical direction in FIG.
The end members 27 and 29 also have a fitting structure. Looking at the end member 29 side, first, as shown in FIG.
A groove (a rectangular groove is continuously formed below the V groove) 30 is formed in the end member 19 on the bottom wall 1 side. At the bottom of the groove 30, a seal ring 32 is mounted. On the other hand, a convex portion 34 is protruded from the end member 29 on the side wall 7 side.
A positioning pin 36 is provided at an appropriate position on the end member 19 on the bottom wall 1 side. On the other hand, a positioning hole 38 is formed in the end member 29 of the side wall 7. Then, with the positioning pins 36 inserted into the positioning holes 38, the side wall 7 is attached to the bottom wall 1, and the projections 34 are inserted into the grooves 30. After that, it is fixed by a connecting bracket 35 described later.

The connecting bracket 35 has a configuration as shown in FIG. First, there is a locking piece 37, and this locking piece 37 is fixed to one of the sides. On the other hand, there is a lock 39, which is fixed to one of the other sides. Then, the distal end locking portion 3 of the locking fitting 39
9a is engaged with the distal end locking portion 37a of the locking piece 37 and the operating portion 41 is pressed, so that the connection state is maintained by the action of a spring (not shown). By attaching such a connection fitting 35 in place, the connection between the bottom wall 1 and the side walls 3, 5, 7, 9 and the connection between the side walls 3, 5, 7, 9 are performed.

As shown in FIG. 3, a sealing member 51 is interposed between the connecting surface between the bottom wall 1 and the side walls 3, 5, 7, 9 and the connecting surface between the side walls 3, 5, 7, 9 as shown in FIG. Have been. In addition, FIG.
3 shows a connection surface between the side wall 7 and the side wall 3.

[0013] The assembled bathtub having the above structure is of an assembled type, so that it can be assembled and installed at any place. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an assembling bathtub can be assembled and installed at an appropriate place in an arbitrary room 61. In FIG. 6, the room 61 is originally designed for a bathroom, but in an extreme case, it can be assembled and used in any room that is not designed as a bathroom. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a mat for the physically handicapped may be used in an assembled bathtub.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, since the bathtub itself is of an assembling type, it can be assembled and installed at any place. Therefore, for example, even when used as a bathtub for the disabled, it can be assembled and used at a desired place. Further, since the basic structure of the bathtub is the honeycomb structure 21 made of resin, it is possible to obtain a lightweight and necessary mechanical strength. Further, since the honeycomb structure portion 21 is covered with the resin film 22, a desired heat insulating function can be obtained. Also, when disassembling and assembling, it is possible to remove and assemble with "one touch" only by operating the operation part of the connection fitting 35, and disassembling and assembling is extremely simple. Further, at the time of assembling, since the mutual positional relationship can be accurately defined by the positioning pins 36 and the positioning holes 38, it is possible to assemble with high positional accuracy. This is extremely effective in obtaining the effect of eliminating water leakage, for example.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a rectangular parallelepiped bathtub has been described as an example, but the shape of the bathtub is not particularly limited. The connection fitting is also merely an example, and may be a connection fitting having a configuration other than that illustrated. Further, the material, particularly the structure of the honeycomb structure, is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a light metal such as aluminum.

[0016]

As described in detail above, according to the assembled bathtub according to the present invention, first, the bathtub itself is of an assembled type, so that it can be assembled and installed at any place. Therefore, for example, even when used as a bathtub for the disabled,
It can be assembled and used at a desired place. When the honeycomb structure is covered with a resin film, a desired heat insulating function can be obtained. When the basic structure of the bathtub is a honeycomb structure made of resin or light metal such as aluminum, it is possible to obtain a lightweight and necessary mechanical strength. Further, when assembling, since the mutual positional relationship can be accurately defined by the positioning pins and the positioning holes, it is possible to assemble with high positional accuracy. This is extremely effective in obtaining the effect of eliminating water leakage, for example.
