BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a plan view of the bathroom,
(B) is a perspective view of the bathtub to which the apron is attached, and (C) is a cross-sectional view of a main part of the bathroom.

The present embodiment is a structure for mounting an operation portion of a remote control type drain plug for a bath.

The bathroom 1 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, and a bathtub 2 is installed on one side of the room and a washing room 3 is installed on the other side of the room.
It is surrounded by walls 5 on all sides. Further, an entrance / exit portion 51 leading to a dressing room or the like is provided on the wall 5 continuous with the bathtub 2.

The bathtub 2 includes a bathtub body 20 and a bathtub body 20.
And an apron 21 attached to the front surface of the.

The bath body 20 has a box-shaped water tank having an open upper surface, and a bath frame formed in a flange shape from the upper end of the water tank.
It consists of a hanging piece hanging from the outer peripheral edge of the bathtub frame. A drainage port 201 is provided at the bottom of the bath body 20,
This drainage port 201 has a remote-controlled drain plug 10 to be described later.
The stopper lid 6 is attached.

The apron 21 is a rectangular plate-shaped body having a size that covers the front surface of the bath body 20, and is formed separately from the bath body 20. Apron 21 above
Forms a rising surface that stands up from the washing area 3 on the front surface of the bathtub body 20, and is fitted between the hanging piece at the front edge of the bathtub body 20 and the peripheral edge portion of the washing area 3.

The washing space 3 is formed on one side of the waterproof pan 30, and the other side of the waterproof pan 30 is a bathtub mounting portion 31 on which the bathtub body 20 is installed. The washing place 3 and the bathtub mounting portion 31 may be integrally formed or may be separate bodies.

A space (K) is formed between the bathtub mounting portion 31 of the waterproof pan 30 and the bottom of the bathtub body 20 by providing legs (not shown) or the like on the bottom of the bathtub body 20.

The waterproof pan 30 is provided with drainage holes (not shown) connected to the drainage pipe at appropriate places so that the drainage water from the washing place 3 and the bathtub body 20 can be collected and discharged.

The remote-operated drain plug 10 is composed of a plug lid 6 attached to the drain outlet 201 of the bath body 20 and an operating portion 8 for remotely controlling the opening / closing of the plug lid 6 via a release 7. .

The operating portion 8 faces the washing space 3 and is attached to the upper left side of the apron 21 toward the front. The operation portion 8 is a push button type, and when pressed, a force is transmitted from one end side of the release 7 to the other end side, and pushes up the stopper lid 6 attached to the other end side of the release 7. Then, a gap is formed between the stopper lid 6 and the drainage port 21, and the drainage is performed through this gap.

According to the attachment structure of the operation portion 8 of the remote operated drain plug 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above,
Since the operation part 8 faces the washing space 3 and is attached to the upper part of the front surface of the apron 21 of the bathtub 2, it sits on the bathtub frame of the bathtub body 20 for half body bathing, or sits on the bathtub frame to sit on the bathtub 2
Unobtrusive when entering and exiting. Further, since the operating portion is not accidentally pushed when the user sits down on the bathtub frame, there is no fear that the hot water in the bathtub 2 will be drained by mistake.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the interior of the bathroom, which is another embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the operation unit 8 is attached to the upper left side toward the front of the apron 21, but in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the operation unit 8 is installed from the inside of the bathroom on the wall 4 of the bathroom. Operatively mounted in position.

Specifically, the operation portion 8 is attached to the wall 5 on the left side of the bath 2 and is located slightly above the upper surface of the bath 2. The release 7 is connected to the stopper lid 6 from the inside of the wall 5 through the space K below the bathtub 2.

According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the operating portion 8 is located above the upper surface of the bath 2.
Since it is attached to the wall 5 on the left side facing the bathtub 2, it does not become an obstacle when sitting on the bathtub frame, and there is no fear that the hot water in the bathtub 2 will be drained by mistake.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and even if there is a design change within the scope not changing the gist of the present invention. Included in the present invention. For example, in the first embodiment, the operating portion 8 is attached to the front portion of the apron 21, but in the waterproof pan in which the rising surface is formed from the washing place on the front surface of the bathtub body without the apron, The operation unit 8 may be attached to the rising surface of the waterproof pan.
Further, in the second embodiment, the operating portion 8 is attached to the wall 4 of the bathroom, but in the waterproof pan in which the waist wall is formed by raising the rising edge of the washing area, the waist wall of this waterproof pan is The operation unit 8 may be attached.

[0026]

According to the present invention as set forth in claims 1 and 2, there is no obstacle when sitting on the bathtub frame and there is no fear of erroneous operation. Therefore, even an elderly person or a physically handicapped person can take a bath with peace of mind.
