Description

本発明は、浴槽の側面を覆うエプロンが分割されている分割型の浴槽エプロンに関し、更に詳しくは分割されている複数のエプロン同士の接続機能を備えた分割型の浴槽エプロンに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a split-type bathtub apron in which an apron that covers a side surface of the bathtub is divided, and more particularly to a split-type bathtub apron having a function of connecting a plurality of divided aprons.

従来この種のエプロンとしては、例えば特許文献１に記載されているものがある。
この従来品は、エプロン同士の接続をワンタッチで簡単、迅速にできるよう、浴槽エプロンの一方側分割体の側壁を、洗い場側から他方側分割体の挟持部に挿入し、この側壁を、挟持部の押圧腕で他方側分割体の対向側壁に押圧して両分割体の接続を可能にしているものである。 Conventionally, as this kind of apron, there is one described in Patent Document 1, for example.
In this conventional product, the side wall of one side split body of the bathtub apron is inserted into the sandwiching part of the other side split body from the washing place side so that the aprons can be easily and quickly connected with one touch. The pressing arm is pressed against the opposite side wall of the other divided body to enable connection of both divided bodies.

特許文献１の従来品は、上記の通り、押圧腕で一方側分割体の側壁を側方に押し、他方側分割体の対向側壁に押圧する構造である。
従ってこの従来品の場合は、浴槽エプロンの左右方向の動きは規制できるものの、前後方向における動きについては確実に規制することができなかった。
その結果、この従来品によると、ユニットバスの成型歪みや浴槽エプロンの反り等を確実に抑えることができず、浴槽エプロンの接続箇所の前面に段差が生じ、接続状態を綺麗に体裁良くできない、という問題点があった。 As described above, the conventional product of Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the pressing arm pushes the side wall of the one-side divided body laterally and presses the opposite side wall of the other-side divided body.
Therefore, in the case of this conventional product, although the movement of the bathtub apron in the left-right direction can be restricted, the movement in the front-rear direction cannot be reliably restricted.
As a result, according to this conventional product, it is not possible to reliably suppress the molding distortion of the unit bath and the warp of the bathtub apron, etc., a step is generated on the front surface of the bathtub apron connection part, and the connection state cannot be cleanly looked. There was a problem.

ところで従来、例えば洗い場に面する浴槽エプロンは、浴槽の配管接続部に対応する側面位置を覆う幅狭の小型エプロンと、残りの浴槽側面を覆う幅広の大型エプロンとの、２分割に形成されることがある。
この場合、小型エプロンを床パンに固定する場合は、取付金具の数を減らして部品コストを削減したり、手間隙を軽減する等の理由から、エプロン下部の中央を一箇所だけ固定することが多い。 By the way, conventionally, for example, a bathtub apron facing a washing place is formed in two parts, a narrow small apron that covers the side surface position corresponding to the pipe connection part of the bathtub and a wide large apron that covers the remaining bathtub side surface. Sometimes.
In this case, when fixing a small apron to a floor pan, the center of the apron lower part is often fixed only at one place for the purpose of reducing the cost of parts by reducing the number of mounting brackets or reducing hand gaps. .

従ってこの場合は、小型エプロンが取付金具を中心に左右に傾いて不安定になり易かったから、この種の小型エプロンと大型エプロンとの接続作業にあっては、接続箇所の前面に段差が生じないよう、特に、しっかりと堅固に接続できるよう構成されているのが望ましい。
しかるに従来品は、上記の通り、一方の分割体の側壁を他方の分割体の対向側壁に押し付けて固定する構造であったから、これによると大型エプロンが小型エプロンの左右の動きに従動することもあり、この種の要望に充分応えることができなかった。
而して、この場合、両エプロンの接続に、専用の特殊な接続部品を必要とするのでは、接続作業が面倒でコストが高くつき、またメンテナンスの際の脱着や、リフォームの際に解体が不便になる、という新たな問題を来たすことになる。 Therefore, in this case, the small apron was inclined to the left and right with the mounting bracket as the center and was likely to become unstable. Therefore, in the connection work between this type of small apron and the large apron, there is no step on the front of the connection point. In particular, it is desirable to be constructed so that it can be connected securely and firmly.
However, as described above, the conventional product has a structure in which the side wall of one divided body is pressed against and fixed to the opposite side wall of the other divided body. According to this, the large apron can follow the left and right movements of the small apron. Yes, this type of request could not be fully met.
Therefore, in this case, a special connection component is required to connect the two aprons, so that the connection work is cumbersome and expensive, and disassembly and disassembly during maintenance are required. It comes with a new problem of inconvenience.

特開２００２−８５２７７号公報JP 2002-85277 A

本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑み、提案されたものである。
従って本発明の解決しようとする技術的課題は、ユニットバスの成型歪みや浴槽エプロンの反り等によってエプロン同士の接続箇所の前面に段差が生じないよう、しっかりと堅固に、しかも簡単、迅速、低コストで接続でき、またメンテナンス等の際の脱着も容易化できるよう形成した分割型の浴槽エプロンを提供することにある。 The present invention has been proposed in view of such conventional problems.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to be firmly and firmly, yet simple, quick and low so that there is no step on the front surface of the apron connection due to distortion of the unit bath or warping of the bath apron. An object of the present invention is to provide a split-type bathtub apron formed so that it can be connected at a low cost and can be easily attached and detached during maintenance.

本発明は、上記の課題を解決するため、次のような技術的手段を採る。
即ち本発明は、図１等に示されるように、一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２を接続して浴槽３の一側面を覆うように形成されている分割型の浴槽エプロンであって、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに宛がわれる繋ぎ部５が他方のエプロン２に設けられ、この繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧して一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２を接続する接続具８が、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに設けられていることを特徴とする（請求項１）。 The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention is a split-type bathtub apron formed so as to connect one apron 1 and the other apron 2 so as to cover one side of the bathtub 3. A connecting portion 5 addressed to the back surface 1a of the apron 1 is provided on the other apron 2, and the connecting portion 5 is pressed against the back surface 1a of one apron 1 to connect the one apron 1 and the other apron 2. The connection tool 8 is provided on the back surface 1a of one apron 1 (Claim 1).

本発明の場合、繋ぎ部５は、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａと接触する面積が大きいほど摩擦力が増え、また接続具８の押圧力を一方のエプロン１に伝えることができ、両エプロン１、２を、しっかりと堅固に接続できる。従って本発明は、図１等に示されるように、繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の縦の長さに対応して縦長に形成したり、或いは一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに接触する当接面５ａを、繋ぎ部５の突き出し方向の全長と同一になるよう長く形成するのが好ましい。なお本発明の場合、接続具８は、板バネやコイルバネ等の発条を備えて形成される。接続具８の材質としては、ステンレス等の金属材のほか、樹脂材がある。   In the case of the present invention, the connecting portion 5 increases the frictional force as the area of contact with the back surface 1a of one apron 1 increases, and can transmit the pressing force of the connecting tool 8 to one apron 1. 2 can be connected firmly and firmly. Therefore, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the connecting portion 5 is formed in a vertically long shape corresponding to the vertical length of one apron 1 or is in contact with the back surface 1a of the one apron 1. The surface 5a is preferably formed long so as to be the same as the entire length of the connecting portion 5 in the protruding direction. In the case of the present invention, the connection tool 8 is formed with a protrusion such as a leaf spring or a coil spring. As a material of the connection tool 8, there is a resin material in addition to a metal material such as stainless steel.

而して本発明は、繋ぎ部５と、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａとが、嵌合可能に形成されているのが好ましい（請求項２）。
なぜならこれによると、繋ぎ部５を介して他方のエプロン２が左右方向（側方）に位置ずれすることを防止でき、両エプロン１、２の接続状態を一層堅固にできるからである。 Thus, in the present invention, it is preferable that the connecting portion 5 and the back surface 1a of one apron 1 are formed so as to be able to be fitted (claim 2).
This is because, according to this, it is possible to prevent the other apron 2 from being displaced in the left-right direction (laterally) via the connecting portion 5, and the connection state between the two aprons 1 and 2 can be further strengthened.

また本発明の場合は、繋ぎ部５が、他方のエプロン２の高さ方向に延ばされて縦長に形成されているのが好ましい（請求項３）。
なぜならこれによると、接続具８の押圧力を、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに縦方向の長い範囲にわたって伝えることができ、その分、両エプロン１、２の接続状態を堅固にできるからである。 Moreover, in the case of this invention, it is preferable that the connection part 5 is extended in the height direction of the other apron 2, and is formed vertically long (Claim 3).
This is because the pressing force of the connecting tool 8 can be transmitted to the back surface 1a of one apron 1 over a long range in the vertical direction, and the connection state of the two aprons 1 and 2 can be solidified accordingly. .

また本発明は、接続具８が、発条を備えて形成されると共に、接続作業時に一方のエプロン１が浴槽３側に押し込まれて床パン１０にセットされると復元し、繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧可能になる位置に配設されているのが好ましい（請求項４）。
なぜならこれによると、一方のエプロン１の押し込み操作で、両エプロン１、２を、簡単、迅速に接続できるからである。 In addition, the present invention restores the connecting tool 8 when the connecting tool 8 is formed with ridges, and when one apron 1 is pushed into the bathtub 3 side and set in the floor pan 10 during the connecting work, It is preferable that the back surface 1a of the apron 1 is disposed at a position where it can be pressed (claim 4).
This is because both aprons 1 and 2 can be easily and quickly connected by pushing the one apron 1.

この場合本発明は、接続具８が、一方のエプロン１を上から見て浴槽３側に山形に突き出されている屈曲部９を備えた板バネで形成され、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａ側に折り返されている屈曲部９の折り返し部分９ａの開放端側が、屈曲部９の内側に折り曲げられて繋ぎ部５を押圧する押圧箇所９ｂに形成され、接続作業時に一方のエプロン１を浴槽３側に押し込むと、上記の折り返し部分９ａが繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂで屈曲部９の内側に歪曲され、一方のエプロン１が床パン１０にセットされると復元して繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧可能になる位置に配設されているのが良い（請求項５）。
なぜならこれによると、接続具８の構造を簡単化でき、その分、接続具８を安価にできるだけではなく、接続作業をワンタッチで簡単、迅速にできるからである。 In this case, according to the present invention, the connection tool 8 is formed of a leaf spring having a bent portion 9 protruding in a mountain shape on the bathtub 3 side when the one apron 1 is viewed from above, and the back surface 1a side of the one apron 1 The open end side of the folded portion 9a of the bent portion 9 that is folded back is formed in a pressing portion 9b that is bent inside the bent portion 9 and presses the connecting portion 5, and one apron 1 is connected to the bathtub 3 side during connection work. The folded portion 9a is distorted inside the bent portion 9 at the protruding end 5b of the connecting portion 5, and when one apron 1 is set on the floor pan 10, the connecting portion 5 is restored to one apron. It is good to arrange | position in the position which can be pressed on the back surface 1a of 1 (Claim 5).
This is because according to this, the structure of the connection tool 8 can be simplified, and accordingly, the connection tool 8 can not only be made inexpensive, but also the connection work can be done easily and quickly with one touch.

本発明は、このように一方のエプロンの裏面に宛がう繋ぎ部を他方のエプロンに設け、この繋ぎ部を一方のエプロンの裏面に押圧して一方のエプロンと他方のエプロンを接続する接続具を、一方のエプロンの裏面に設けているものである。
従って本発明の場合は、一方のエプロンと他方のエプロンを、しっかりと堅固に接続できるから、これによれば、例えば浴槽エプロンが反って変形を来たしても、エプロン同士の接続箇所の前面に段差が生じることを防止できる。
また本発明は、接続具で、繋ぎ部を一方のエプロンの裏面に押圧して両エプロンを接続するものであるから、これによれば、簡単、迅速、低コストで両エプロンを接続でき、また接着等の手段によるものではないから、メンテナンス等の際の脱着も容易にできる。 In the present invention, a connecting portion that is connected to the back surface of one apron is provided on the other apron, and the connecting portion presses the connecting portion against the back surface of one apron to connect the one apron and the other apron. Is provided on the back of one apron.
Therefore, in the case of the present invention, since one apron and the other apron can be connected firmly and firmly, even if the bathtub apron warps and deforms, for example, there is a step on the front surface of the connection point between the apron. Can be prevented.
Moreover, since the present invention connects the two aprons by pressing the connecting portion against the back surface of one apron with the connection tool, according to this, both apron can be connected easily, quickly, and at low cost. Since it is not by means of adhesion or the like, it can be easily detached during maintenance or the like.

以下、本発明を実施するための好適な一実施形態を、添付図面に従って説明する。
本発明品は、一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２を接続して浴槽３の一側面を覆うように形成されている分割型の浴槽エプロンである。この実施形態では、一方のエプロン１は左右方向に長く、他方のエプロン２は左右方向の幅が短い状態に形成され、洗い場４に面する浴槽３の一側面を、左右方向に２分割した両エプロン１、２で覆う事例である。 DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The product of the present invention is a split-type bathtub apron formed so as to connect one apron 1 and the other apron 2 to cover one side of the bathtub 3. In this embodiment, one apron 1 is long in the left-right direction and the other apron 2 is formed in a short width in the left-right direction, and one side of the bathtub 3 facing the washing place 4 is divided into two in the left-right direction. This is an example of covering with apron 1 and 2.

５は、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに宛がわれる繋ぎ部である。この繋ぎ部５は、他方のエプロン２の側端部から一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに沿って側方に突き出されている。またこの繋ぎ部５は、他方のエプロン２の高さとほぼ同一になるよう縦方向に延ばされ、他方のエプロン２に一体状に設けられている。   Reference numeral 5 denotes a connecting portion addressed to the back surface 1 a of one apron 1. The connecting portion 5 protrudes laterally from the side end portion of the other apron 2 along the back surface 1 a of the one apron 1. The connecting portion 5 extends in the vertical direction so as to be substantially the same as the height of the other apron 2, and is provided integrally with the other apron 2.

この場合、繋ぎ部５は、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに当接する当接面５ａと、他方のエプロン２の側端面２ａとで、他方のエプロン２を上から見てほぼ鉤形になるよう、一方のエプロン１側に突き出されている。また両エプロン１、２は、接続時に前面が面一になるよう、一方のエプロン１の厚みと、他方のエプロン２の前面から繋ぎ部５の当接面５ａまでの間隔とが、同一に選定されている。   In this case, the connecting portion 5 has a contact surface 5a that contacts the back surface 1a of one apron 1 and a side end surface 2a of the other apron 2 so that the other apron 2 is substantially bowl-shaped when viewed from above. , One of the apron 1 is protruded. In addition, both aprons 1 and 2 have the same apron 1 thickness and the distance from the front surface of the other apron 2 to the contact surface 5a of the connecting portion 5 so that the front surfaces are flush with each other when connected. Has been.

またこの実施形態の本発明品は、繋ぎ部５と、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａとが、嵌合可能に形成されている。具体的には、繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂが、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａ側に屈曲されて嵌合用の雄部６に形成されている。そして、この雄部６が嵌合する雌部７が、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに縦溝状に形成されている。この場合、雄部６は突き出し端５ｂの縦方向の全長にわたって形成され、また雌部７は一方のエプロン１の高さ方向に延ばされ、一方のエプロン１の縦の長さとほぼ同等に形成されている。   Moreover, as for this invention product of this embodiment, the connection part 5 and the back surface 1a of one apron 1 are formed so that fitting is possible. Specifically, the protruding end 5 b of the connecting portion 5 is bent to the back surface 1 a side of one apron 1 and is formed on the male portion 6 for fitting. And the female part 7 which this male part 6 fits is formed in the back surface 1a of one apron 1 in the shape of a vertical groove. In this case, the male part 6 is formed over the entire length in the vertical direction of the protruding end 5b, and the female part 7 is extended in the height direction of one apron 1, and is formed substantially equal to the vertical length of one apron 1. Has been.

また本発明は、繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧して一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２を接続する接続具８が、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに設けられている。本発明では、接続具８を他方のエプロン２ではなく、一方のエプロン１に設けることにより、一方のエプロン１の構造を複雑にすることなく、また追加部材を設けることなく、接続具８の押圧力を接続具８が設けられていない側の、他方のエプロン２に伝えることができる。   Further, according to the present invention, a connecting tool 8 that presses the connecting portion 5 against the back surface 1 a of one apron 1 and connects the one apron 1 and the other apron 2 is provided on the back surface 1 a of the one apron 1. In the present invention, the connection tool 8 is provided not on the other apron 2 but on the one apron 1 so that the structure of the one apron 1 is not complicated and no additional member is provided. The pressure can be transmitted to the other apron 2 on the side where the connector 8 is not provided.

而して、この実施形態の場合、接続具８は、一方のエプロン１を上から見て浴槽３側に山形に突き出されている屈曲部９を備えた板バネで形成されている。そして接続具８は、一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａ側に折り返されている屈曲部９の折り返し部分９ａの開放端側が、屈曲部９の内側に折り曲げられて繋ぎ部５を押圧する押圧箇所９ｂに形成されている。また接続具８は、接続作業時に一方のエプロン１を浴槽３側に押し込むと、上記の折り返し部分９ａが繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂで屈曲部９の内側に歪曲され、一方のエプロン１が床パン１０（図２参照）にセットされると復元して繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧可能になる位置に配設されている。   Thus, in the case of this embodiment, the connection tool 8 is formed of a leaf spring provided with a bent portion 9 protruding in a mountain shape toward the bathtub 3 when one apron 1 is viewed from above. And the connection tool 8 is the pressing part 9b by which the open end side of the folding | returning part 9a of the bending part 9 folded by the back surface 1a side of one apron 1 is bend | folded inside the bending part 9, and presses the connection part 5. Is formed. In addition, when one apron 1 is pushed into the bathtub 3 during connection work, the folded portion 9a is distorted inside the bent portion 9 at the protruding end 5b of the connecting portion 5, and the one apron 1 is placed on the floor. When set on the pan 10 (see FIG. 2), the connecting portion 5 is disposed at a position where the connecting portion 5 can be pressed against the back surface 1a of one apron 1.

なお、一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２は、この実施形態では、図２、図３に示されるように、取付金具１１で床パン１０に取り付け可能に形成されている。取付金具１１は、この実施形態では両エプロン１、２の裏面下部の所定位置に取り付けられている。そして本発明の接続具８は、この実施形態では、図示されるように、取付金具１１の止め付けネジ１２を利用して、取付金具１１と一緒にネジ止めされている。   In this embodiment, one apron 1 and the other apron 2 are formed so as to be attachable to the floor pan 10 with a mounting bracket 11 as shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 11 is mounted at a predetermined position at the lower part of the back surface of both aprons 1 and 2. In this embodiment, the connecting tool 8 of the present invention is screwed together with the mounting bracket 11 by using a fixing screw 12 of the mounting bracket 11 as shown in the drawing.

而して、接続具８は、この実施形態では取付金具１１と一緒にネジ止めされるため、取付金具１１の形状に合わせて形成されている。即ち、接続具８は、図３、図４に示されるように、取付金具１１の左右の折り曲げ片１１ａを跨ぐ山形状の箇所１３と、この箇所１３に続いて一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに当接する係止部１４と、この係止部１４に連なる上記の屈曲部９とを備え、一枚の金属板を折り曲げ加工することにより、形成されている。なお、１５（図４参照）は、ネジ挿通孔である。   Thus, since the connection tool 8 is screwed together with the mounting bracket 11 in this embodiment, it is formed in accordance with the shape of the mounting bracket 11. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connecting tool 8 is provided on a mountain-shaped portion 13 straddling the left and right bent pieces 11 a of the mounting bracket 11, and on the back surface 1 a of one apron 1 following this portion 13. The latching part 14 which contact | abuts and the said bending part 9 connected to this latching | locking part 14 are provided, and it forms by bending one metal plate. In addition, 15 (refer FIG. 4) is a screw insertion hole.

次に、本発明品の作用を説明する。
作業者は、先ず、図２に示されるように、他方のエプロン２を、取付金具１１を利用して床パン１０に固定する。次にこの状態で、作業者は、図５に示されるように、洗い場４側から、矢示するように、一方のエプロン１を浴槽３の側に押す。すると、接続具８の折り返し部分９ａが繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂ（この実施形態の場合は嵌合用の雄部６の端部）に当たって、折り返し部分９ａが屈曲部９の内側に歪曲し、屈曲部９が係止部１４を支点に歪曲変形する（図６参照）。 Next, the operation of the product of the present invention will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, the worker fixes the other apron 2 to the floor pan 10 using the mounting bracket 11. Next, in this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the operator pushes one apron 1 toward the bathtub 3 as indicated by an arrow from the washing place 4 side. Then, the folded portion 9a of the connection tool 8 hits the protruding end 5b of the connecting portion 5 (in this embodiment, the end of the fitting male portion 6), and the folded portion 9a is distorted inside the bent portion 9 and bent. The portion 9 is distorted and deformed with the locking portion 14 as a fulcrum (see FIG. 6).

そして一方のエプロン１が床パン１０（図２参照）にセットされると、発条として機能する屈曲部９が復元し、図７に示されるように、押圧箇所９ｂが繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂの角を押し、繋ぎ部５を一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに押圧する。これにより、繋ぎ部５と一体化している他方のエプロン２が洗い場４側に押され、一方のエプロン１と他方のエプロン２が、しっかりと堅固に接続される（図１の状態参照）。
なお、両エプロン１、２が接続されると、繋ぎ部５の雄部６は一方のエプロン１の雌部７に完全に嵌合する。また一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａは、繋ぎ部５の当接面５ａに当接する。 When one apron 1 is set on the floor pan 10 (see FIG. 2), the bent portion 9 functioning as a streak is restored, and as shown in FIG. 7, the pressing portion 9b is the protruding end 5b of the connecting portion 5. The corner 5 is pressed and the connecting portion 5 is pressed against the back surface 1a of one apron 1. As a result, the other apron 2 integrated with the connecting portion 5 is pushed toward the washing place 4, and the one apron 1 and the other apron 2 are firmly and firmly connected (see the state of FIG. 1).
When the two aprons 1 and 2 are connected, the male part 6 of the connecting part 5 is completely fitted to the female part 7 of one apron 1. Further, the back surface 1 a of one apron 1 is in contact with the contact surface 5 a of the connecting portion 5.

また両エプロン１、２を解体する場合は、先ず作業者は、一方のエプロン１を洗い場４側に引き出す。すると、その際、接続具８が、山形状の箇所１３の付け根部分を基準にして、しなることにより、押圧箇所９ｂが繋ぎ部５の突き出し端５ｂの角から外れる。従ってこれにより、両エプロン１、２の接続状態が解除されるため、次いで作業者は、他方のエプロン２を取り外す。   When disassembling both aprons 1 and 2, the operator first pulls out one apron 1 toward the washing place 4. Then, at that time, the connecting portion 8 is bent on the basis of the root portion of the mountain-shaped portion 13, whereby the pressing portion 9 b is detached from the corner of the protruding end 5 b of the connecting portion 5. Accordingly, since the connection state between the two aprons 1 and 2 is thereby released, the worker then removes the other apron 2.

以上の処において、上例では接続具８が、その長手方向の全長にわたって同じ幅（高さ）に形成され、従って屈曲部９の押圧箇所９ｂも接続具本体と同じ幅に形成されているが、本発明はこれに限られず、接続具８が、図８に示されるように形成されているのでも良い。   In the above process, in the above example, the connection tool 8 is formed with the same width (height) over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and thus the pressing portion 9b of the bent portion 9 is also formed with the same width as the connection tool body. The present invention is not limited to this, and the connector 8 may be formed as shown in FIG.

即ち、この実施形態の接続具８は、屈曲部９の押圧箇所９ｂが接続具本体の幅を越え、この実施形態では、上下に同じ長さだけ突き出されて長く形成されているものである。
従ってこの場合は、接続具８の復元力であるバネ圧を、接続具本体の幅を越えて繋ぎ部５の上下方向の広い（長い）範囲に伝えることができるから、これによれば、その分、両エプロン１、２をしっかりと押圧固定できるものである。 That is, the connecting tool 8 of this embodiment is formed so that the pressing portion 9b of the bent portion 9 exceeds the width of the connecting tool main body, and in this embodiment, the connecting tool 8 protrudes by the same length up and down.
Therefore, in this case, the spring pressure that is the restoring force of the connection tool 8 can be transmitted to the wide (long) range in the vertical direction of the connecting portion 5 beyond the width of the connection tool body. The two aprons 1 and 2 can be firmly pressed and fixed.

また本発明は、嵌合用の雄部６や雌部７の形成位置や形状等についても、上例に限定されるものではない。即ち、本発明は、例えば雄部６が一方のエプロン１の裏面１ａに形成され、雌部７が繋ぎ部５の当接面５ａに形成されているのでも良い。   Further, the present invention is not limited to the above example with respect to the formation position and shape of the fitting male part 6 and female part 7. That is, in the present invention, for example, the male part 6 may be formed on the back surface 1 a of the one apron 1, and the female part 7 may be formed on the contact surface 5 a of the connecting part 5.
