DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on illustrated embodiments. In the bathroom, a wall panel (not shown) and a door (not shown) are erected on the periphery of the bathtub section 1 and the washing section 2, and a ceiling panel (not shown) is provided above the wall panel (not shown). Installed, the main body is configured.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bathtub side wall mounting surface for erecting a wall panel is provided on three sides around the bathtub portion 1, and a bathtub rim that covers the upper portion of the apron portion 4 is provided on one side facing the washing section 2. A leading edge 1a is formed. On the back surface of the bathtub rim 1b of the bathtub part 1, a dividing part 3 for connecting the bathtub part 1 and the washing place part 2 hangs down, and the bathtub part 1 and the washing place part 2 are connected at a floor part 2a rising from the washing place. You. Regarding the connection, the screw 3a is shown in FIG. 2, but the effect is the same even by other methods such as bonding, and the description is omitted because it does not affect the present invention. A pocket that fits with the dividing part 3 is provided at the upper part of the floor part 2a that rises from the washing place and that engages with the dividing part 3, and a caulking material 3b is installed in the pocket to provide a waterproof structure. The above is an example of the water stop structure,
The effects of the present invention can be achieved with other structures using packing or the like.

An inspection port 6 is provided on the floor 2a rising from the washing area, and the water blocking structure of the inspection port may be a structure using a relatively simple packing or the like. Since the inspection port 6 is covered with the bath apron 4 at the time of bathing, there is almost no danger that water from a bathtub or a washing place is directly splashed. Also,
Since the inspection port 6 is covered with the bus apron 4, the inspection port 6 may be made of an inexpensive material, and there is no need to match colors.

As described above, since the dividing portion 3 and the inspection port 6 are completely concealed by the bath apron 4 in use, it is suitable not only in terms of the waterproof structure but also in terms of design. The structure for supporting the bath apron 4 from the washing section 2 can be achieved by using a conventional means such as using a spring or the like.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which a faucet fitting 5 is attached to the bathtub rim 1b. In the case of a conventional bathtub with a washing place, when opening and mounting equipment on the bathtub rim 1b, the back surface of the bathtub rim 1b directly becomes a building frame, and if water leaks from this opening, damage to the house and a very large problem may occur. Develop. However, in the present invention, the back surface of the opening 1c is the bath apron back surface space 4a, and even if water leaks, the water does not overflow from the bathroom and does not cause any damage. Also, in connection to the piping of the faucet fitting 5, maintenance, and the like, it is only necessary to remove the bath apron 4, and the trouble of removing a tightly sealed inspection port as in the related art is not required. In FIG. 2, the description has been made with reference to the faucet fitting 5, but the effect is the same for other tools.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the bus apron 4 is provided with irregularities and used as a storage space. In addition to this embodiment, the entire bath apron 4 is made concave to make the washing area 2 feel wide. In addition, it is also possible to add decoration to the surface of the bath apron 4 with irregularities to improve the design. Depending on the method of supporting the bass apron 4, it is also effective to form a handle to enhance the convenience of attachment and detachment.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the bath apron 4 is divided and further arranged on both sides of the washing section 2. When the bus apron is divided into a plurality of vertical directions, when the work is performed at the inspection port or when maintenance of equipment such as a faucet is performed, the bus apron of the corresponding portion may be removed, so that no trouble is given. Further, by combining the divided bath aprons, bath aprons of bathrooms of a plurality of sizes can be configured, so that investment in a molding die can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 4, since there is a floor rising from the washing area between the bath aprons on both sides, the bath apron is fixed so as to be sandwiched between the floors, which is advantageous in strength. In addition, since it can be configured with a relatively small bus apron, it is advantageous in terms of cost.
