BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apron fixing structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-26
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2424, an apron is fixed by hooking a fixing clip having a spring property at a lower end of the apron on a bank of a waterproof pan. With such a structure, the apron is attached when the apron is attached. Since it has to be pushed in from the front and requires a considerable amount of force, it is difficult to attach it, and when removing it, the bathtub is lifted up, resulting in poor workability. In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As disclosed in 001-104185,
In the structure where the upper part of the apron is inserted into the bathtub flange and the lower part of the apron is sandwiched and fixed by the bank of the waterproof pan,
The height of the apron must be greater than the distance from the bottom edge of the bathtub flange to the top edge of the waterproof pan embankment, and there was a problem that the bathtub was lifted up when attaching or detaching the apron, making it difficult to work. Further, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-1832, a structure in which an apron is divided into upper and lower parts and a lower apron is fixed with a screw has poor workability of attachment and detachment and is difficult to attach and detach. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is not to provide a fixing structure for an apron that can be easily attached and detached. Is an apron standing upright on the embankment of the waterproof pan and covering the front of the bathtub, and at the lower end of the apron, a short bathtub-side sandwiching piece and a long washroom-side sandwiching piece for vertically sandwiching the embankment are provided vertically. At the same time, the upper part of the apron is provided with a hooking piece projecting toward the bathtub side, which is hooked to the fixing metal fitting protruding from the wall, and the hooking piece is the state where the bathtub side sandwiching piece is placed on the embankment. It is placed above the fixing metal fittings, and when the apron slides to the bathtub side and the bathtub side sandwiching piece crosses the embankment,
That is, the apron is configured to be hooked on the fixing metal fittings at the same time as the lowering movement. A second gist is an apron divided into an upper apron fixed to a bathtub and a detachable lower apron, in which a lower end of the lower apron is
A short bathtub side sandwiching piece and a long washroom side sandwiching piece are vertically installed to sandwich the protruding embankment from the waterproof pan.
On the upper part of the lower apron, a hooking piece that hooks on a fixing metal fitting protruding from the wall is projected toward the bathtub side, and the hooking piece is located above the fixing metal fitting with the bathtub side sandwiching piece placed on the embankment. When the lower apron is slid to the bathtub side and the sandwiched piece on the bathtub side crosses the embankment,
The lower apron is configured to be hooked on the fixing metal simultaneously with the lowering movement, and one of the upper aprons has a bottom surface provided with a hanging piece having a through hole through which the lower apron hooking piece passes. That is, when the hooking piece of the lower apron is caught by the fixing metal fitting, it is sandwiched and fixed between the lower apron and the fixing metal fitting.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of the bathroom unit, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the lower apron before attachment.
Further, FIG. 3 is a perspective configuration diagram in which a lower apron is attached.

In the drawing, the bathroom unit is a waterproof pan 1.
Walls 7 made of panels are built on the outer periphery of the water tank 1. The waterproof pan 1 has a bank 3 integrated in a rising shape between the bathtub installation surfaces where the washroom 2 and the bathtub 4 are installed. The lower apron 15 is formed on the embankment 3, and in this example, the apron is divided into an upper apron 10 and a lower apron 15.
0 is formed integrally with the bathtub 4, and is configured so that the lower apron 15 can be attached and detached.

Walls 7 and 7 are provided on both ends of the bathtub 4 in the longitudinal direction.
Fix the metal fittings 5 and 5 in advance by projecting from them. That is, the fixing brackets 5 and 5 are provided on the lower rear side of the upper apron 10,
It is fixed to the wall 7 with screws 6. This fixing bracket 5
As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, is formed in an L shape, and a protruding piece 5b is formed on the wall 7 so as to protrude at a right angle from a fixed piece 5a fixed with a screw 6.

As shown in FIG. 4, the upper apron 10
A bottom surface 11 slightly inclined toward the bathtub 4 side is integrally formed on the bottom side of the, and a hanging piece 12 is integrally formed in a hanging shape from the bottom surface 11. The hanging piece 12 has an upper end on both left and right sides. , Through holes 12a, 12a are formed, the protruding piece 5b of the fixing member 5 is projected on the lower rear side of the through hole 12a, and the through hole 12a is formed above the protruding piece 5b. Is located.

The lower apron 15 is formed in a box shape, and an upper surface 15b is integrally formed substantially horizontally at the upper end of the front surface 15a covering the bathtub 4, and a bottom surface 15c is formed substantially horizontally at the bottom side of the front surface 15a. The front surface 15a is integrally formed, and side surfaces 15d are formed at both left and right ends of the front surface 15a by bending toward the bathtub 4 side.
In addition, a pair of sandwiching pieces 1 is hung from the bottom surface 15c.
6, 17 are integrally formed. The bathtub-side sandwiching piece 16 on the bathtub 4 side is formed to be short, and the washbasin-side sandwiching piece 17 on the one side of the washroom 2 is formed to have a long dimension, and the waterproof pan 1 of the waterproof pan 1 is formed between the pair of sandwiching pieces 16 and 17. Embankment 3
It is set so that it can be sandwiched.

Further, at the upper left and right upper end portions of the lower apron 15, hook pieces 18, which project substantially horizontally toward the bathtub 4, are provided.
18 is provided, and the hooking piece 18 can be passed through the through hole 12a of the upper apron 10 described above.
Further, it is set so that it can be hooked onto the protruding piece 5b of the fixing member 5 from above. As shown in FIG. 4, this hooking piece 18 is arranged at a position aligned with the through hole 12a above the fixing fitting 5 with the bath-side sandwiching piece 16 placed on the bank 3 of the waterproof pan. Is set to.

From the state shown in FIG. 4, place the lower apron 15 in the bathtub 4
When it is slid to the side, the bath-side sandwiching piece 16 moves on the embankment 3, and when the embankment 3 is crossed over, the lower apron falls downward, which causes the bath-side sandwiching piece 16 and the wash-side sandwiching piece. At the same time that the bank 3 is sandwiched by 17, the hooking piece 18 is hooked and fixed to the protruding piece 5b of the fixing fitting 5. At this time,
The hanging piece 12 of the upper apron 10 is the protruding piece 5 of the fixing bracket 5.
Since it is sandwiched between b and the lower apron 15, the lower end side of the upper apron 10 is also fixed well.

In this way, the short bath-side sandwiching piece 16 is placed on the bank 3, and the lower apron 15 is slid to the bath 4 side, so that the lower apron 15 is locked to the bank 3 and the fixture 5. Since it can be fixed to the upper apron 10, the lower apron 15 can be attached very easily. Also, when removing the lower apron 15,
Put a hand on the lower end of the washing room side sandwiching piece 17, raise the lower apron 15 upward, and put the bath side sandwiching piece 16 on the embankment 3, and in that state, slide it to the washing place 2 side to easily remove it. It is possible to easily attach and detach.

In the installed state of FIG. 5, the long washing-place-side sandwiching piece 17 abuts on the washing place 2 side of the embankment 3 so that the embankment 3 is concealed well, and a neat installation state is obtained, and the washing place is clean. Water can be favorably prevented from entering the bathtub 4 side from the 2nd side.
