DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for fixing a bathtub to a wall surface of a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fixed bathtub installed in a bathroom is fixed by a fixture attached to a wall surface of the bathroom so that the installed bathtub does not move. As a device for fixing the bathtub to the bathroom wall surface, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, an attachment portion 13a is provided at a connection portion 13b of a substantially L-shaped wall fixture 13 attached to the bathroom wall surface 8. The screw 5 is inserted into the screw hole 13d from the long hole 12c provided in the connection piece 12b of the locking tool 12.
, So that the mounting position of the locking device 12 with respect to the wall fixing device 13 can be slid in the direction perpendicular to the wall surface 8 of the bathroom, so that the outer edge of the upper edge surface 1a of the bathtub 1 installed in the bathroom can be adjusted. Having a structure in which the hanging edge 1b of the lock member is inserted between the contact piece 12a of the locking device 12 and the wall surface 8 of the bathroom (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-45997), and as shown in FIG. On the connecting portion 13b of the wall fixing device 13 mounted on the wall surface of the bathroom, two locking devices 15, 16 formed in the same shape as the above-mentioned locking device 12 are combined and mounted. There is known a structure in which the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1 is sandwiched between the contact pieces 15a and 16a (see JP-A-2000-41882).

[0003] Of the above-described prior art, FIG.
The fixing device shown in FIG. 1 has a structure in which the movement of the bathtub 1 is prevented by pressing the contact piece 12a of the locking tool 12 against the back surface of the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1. In order to prevent a difference in the thickness of the portion 1b or a difference in a gap dimension generated between the bathroom wall surface 8 and the outer surface of the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1 due to attachment of the bath kettle to the bathroom wall surface 8, etc. Although the mounting position can be adjusted by slide adjustment, when the bathtub 1 is installed in a state where the outer surface of the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1 does not contact the bathroom wall surface 8 and a gap is formed, the bathtub 1 is moved toward the bathroom wall surface 8 side. In order to prevent rattling and movement, it is necessary to insert a spacer 14 made of synthetic rubber or the like into the gap as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The dimensions are the material of the bathtub 8 Each different order by the mounting condition of the bathtub in the thickness or bathroom wall 8 of the drooping edge 1b by,
The spacers 14 must be cut at the installation site in accordance with the gap size, or the spacers 14 of various thicknesses must be prepared in advance, and there is a problem that these cutting work and preparation are troublesome. Was.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 3, adjustment work for adjusting the gap between the locking members 15 and 16 to the thickness of the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1 and positioning of the mounting to the wall fixing member 13 must be performed simultaneously. The work of adjusting the combination of the locking members 15 and 16 takes time, and the bathtub 1
When installing the lock, the locking device 1 attached to the bathroom wall side
Since the hanging edge 1b of the bathtub 1 must be sandwiched while matching the gap between the contact piece 15a of No. 5 and the contact piece 16a of the locking tool 16, there is a problem that the installation work of the bathtub in the bathroom becomes troublesome. .
