  By the way, since piping etc. are accommodated in this bathtub apron, inspection work, such as piping, is needed regularly. Also, since the inside of the apron is a space where mold is likely to occur, it is necessary to frequently perform cleaning work. In this case, in the conventional apron, the large apron 2 is detached and then the small apron 11 is detached by the above-described method. However, the counter 4 installed adjacently becomes an obstacle in the cleaning work and the inspection work. Since the operation becomes difficult, the counter curtain plate 12 constituting the lower part of the counter 4 is detached and the work space is secured, and there is a problem that it is troublesome twice.

  Further, in the conventional structure of the counter curtain plate 12, since the fixing tool 6 is used, the removal is very troublesome, and in some cases, a dedicated fastener may be required, so that the removal is difficult. There was also the problem of being.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a counter curtain plate with a small apron that can be easily removed and a work space can be secured. is there.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the invention according to claim 1, the small apron of the bathtub 3 provided with the small apron 11 having a narrow width and the large apron 2 that closes the other part in the longitudinal direction. 11 is a counter curtain plate 1 with a small apron forming a part of a counter 4 installed adjacent to the counter 11, and is formed integrally with the small apron 11.

  With this configuration, the counter curtain plate 12 can be attached and detached together with the small apron 11, so that it is possible to eliminate some of the time and effort required for the inspection during work and to secure a working space. . Further, since the small apron 11 and the counter curtain plate 12 are integrally formed, the appearance of the joint portion where the gap is generated in the conventional one is improved, and the appearance is improved.

  Moreover, in the invention which concerns on Claim 2, in the invention described in Claim 1, the upper attaching part 13 engaged with the to-be-attached attaching part 42 with which the counter top plate 41 was equipped in the upper end part. And a lower attachment portion 14 attached to a lower attachment portion 5 disposed below the counter top plate 41 in the vicinity of the lower end portion. The lower attachment portion 14 includes a lower attachment portion. 5 is provided with a locking pin 141 which is locked in the horizontal direction in the locking hole 51 provided in FIG.

  With this configuration, in addition to the above effects, the counter curtain plate 12 can be easily attached and detached, so that workability during work can be improved and work time can be shortened. It greatly contributes to.

  According to the present invention, since the apron can be attached and detached very easily, the apron will be motivated to clean and inspect, and the inside of the apron can always be kept clean, and the problem of bathroom pipe breakage and water leakage can be reduced. It is possible.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a counter 4 is disposed on the side surface of the bathtub 3 in the longitudinal direction. The bathtub 3 is provided with a bathtub flange 31, and an apron is suspended from the bathtub flange 31. The apron is composed of a small apron 11 that is narrow in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 3 and a large apron 2 that closes other portions. The small apron 11 is integrally formed by being fixed at a side end portion of the counter curtain plate 12 to be described later on the bathtub 3 side. Further, a guide piece 111 is projected from the upper end surface of the small apron 11 over the entire length, and the guide piece 111 is formed in a recess formed on the back surface of the bathtub flange 31 (that is, the surface below the bathtub flange 31). The small apron 11 can be easily installed by being slidably fitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the counter 4 includes a counter top plate 41 and a counter curtain plate 12. Although the counter top plate 41 protrudes from the bathroom wall surface, it is not particularly limited whether it is formed integrally with the wall surface or formed separately. At the tip of the counter 4, an upper attachment portion 42 that engages with the upper attachment portion 13 formed at the upper end of the counter curtain plate 12 is formed. The upper attachment portion 42 is formed in an L-shaped cross section and is formed over the entire length of the tip of the counter top plate 41 in the left-right direction (that is, the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 3).

  On the other hand, the upper attachment portion 13 at the upper end of the counter curtain plate 12 is formed so as to project over the entire length in the left-right direction so as to sandwich the above-described attachment portion 42. The counter curtain plate 12 is formed so as to be gradually separated from the counter top plate 41 as it approaches the wall surface of the bathroom in the cross section, and its lower end is located farthest from the counter top plate 41 and closest to the bathroom wall surface. is doing. On the wall surface of the bathroom below the counter top plate 41, counter carriers 52 having a U-shaped cross section as the attached portion 5 are installed at several locations with the open side in the cross section facing upward. A lower attachment portion 14 formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the lower attachment portion 5 is connected to the lower attachment portion 5. The installation location of the counter carrier 52 may be installed on the counter top plate 41, that is, it is only required to be installed below the counter top plate 41, and is not particularly limited.

  The connecting means will be described in detail. The counter carrier 52 is provided with a locking hole 51 in a lateral direction substantially at the center of the surface facing the washing area. The locking hole 51 has a bag-like elastic material 511 and is installed so that the bag-like opening faces the washing area.

  Further, a locking pin 141 that is locked in the horizontal direction by the locking hole 51 protrudes from the lower attachment portion 14 installed at the lower end of the counter curtain plate 12. The distal end of the locking pin 141 is formed thick, and the thickened distal end portion is inserted through the portion having the smallest inner diameter of the locking hole 51 having elasticity, and the thickened distal end portion is inserted. Is locked to the portion of the locking hole 51 having the smallest inner diameter. In this way, the locking pin 141 and the locking hole 51 lock the counter curtain plate 12 detachably in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, a gripping part 121 for attachment / detachment having an L-shaped cross section is formed at the lower end of the counter curtain plate 12 so that the counter curtain plate 12 can be attached / detached more easily.

  The same effect of the present invention can be obtained by installing the locking hole 51 in the lower mounting portion 14 and installing the locking pin 141 in the lower mounting portion 5, and the gripping portion 121. Is not particularly limited.

  The counter curtain plate 1 with a small apron configured as described above is installed while the guide piece 111 is fitted into the recess formed on the back surface of the bathtub flange 31 and is slid toward the end in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 3. . Since the small apron 11 and the counter curtain plate 12 are integrally formed, the upper attachment portion 42 provided at the tip of the counter top plate 41 is fitted into the upper attachment portion 13 at the same time, and the lower attachment portion 14 is further provided. Is locked to the under-mounting portion 5. In this way, the small apron 11 and the counter curtain plate 12 are fixed. After the small apron 11 is installed, the large apron 2 engages the upper end with the back surface of the bathtub flange 31 and the lower surface faces the bathtub 3 side. The large apron 2 is also fitted by pressing and turning.

  Since the counter curtain plate 1 with a small apron constructed in this manner is sufficiently fixed by the attachment portions 13, 14, 42, 5 of the counter curtain plate 12, the apron support tool which has been conventionally required is not necessary. The cost can be reduced. Further, since the small apron 11 and the counter curtain 12 are integrally formed, it is possible to eliminate the poor appearance of the gap at the seam that has been generated in the past, and the design requirements are sufficiently satisfied. In addition, the conventional gap between the seams easily adheres to scales and molds and is difficult to clean, and the structure of the present invention is easy to clean and significantly improves the cleanability. Let go.

  The configuration of the counter curtain plate 1 with a small apron in the present embodiment has been described above, but the configuration of the locking pin 141 and the locking hole 51 is not particularly limited to the present embodiment. Further, the shape of the counter curtain plate 12 is not particularly limited.
