Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom having a nursing space.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a bathroom in which a care space is provided on the short side of a bathtub and a washing place is provided adjacent to a long side of the bathtub as described in Patent Document 1. The bathroom described in Patent Document 1 includes a front apron that covers the side wall of the bathtub on the washing area side, and a side apron that covers the side wall of the bathtub on the care space side.

  Here, in order to make it possible to easily attach the apron that covers the side wall of the bathtub without using tools, etc., the support tool that protrudes from the apron to the bathtub side is provided on the bathtub side rather than the apron. There is known an apron mounting structure configured such that a supported tool does not fall off from a support tool by being supported at a predetermined position. For example, in the apron mounting structure described in Patent Document 2, the support tool protruding to the bathtub side from the apron is supported by the support tool provided on the floor surface, and the enormous portion of the tip of the support tool is a cross section of the support tool It is made to support in the predetermined position latched by C-shaped elastic material. This prevents the apron from coming off so that the supported tool does not fall off the support tool.

Japanese Patent No. 3310112 JP2013-66501A

  When such an apron mounting structure is adopted in a bathroom bathtub provided with a nursing space as described above, the support tool of the front apron is moved from a predetermined position of the support tool (from the support tool) due to an installation error during construction. If it was supported and installed at a place other than the position where the supported tool does not fall off), the function deteriorated when the caregiver was sitting on the transfer platform to take a bath and the legs were moved from the washing area to the bathtub. The legs do not rise sufficiently and come into contact with the front apron on the washing area, which may cause the front apron to come off, and the detached front apron may interfere with the care recipient's bathing.

  The present invention provides a care space on the short side of the bathtub and a bath provided adjacent to the long side of the bathtub, while preventing the caregiver from taking a bath while maintaining the workability of attaching the apron. The purpose is to provide a bathroom in which the front apron can be securely and securely installed.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the bathroom according to the present invention is a bathroom provided with a nursing space, and at least one short side of the bathtub is arranged away from the bathroom side wall in order to provide a nursing space. A bathtub, a washing place provided adjacent to the longitudinal side of the bathtub, a front apron attached so as to cover a side wall on the washing place side of the bathtub, and attached so as to cover a side wall on the care space side of the bathtub A side apron, a first support that is provided closer to the bathtub than the front apron and supports the front apron, and a second support that supports the side apron, the front apron and the side Each apron is supported by the first support device and the second support device and is attached to a predetermined position. The front apron protrudes from the bathtub side surface to the bathtub side and has a first supported tool supported by the first support tool, and the side apron is supported by the second support tool. The first support tool has a second support tool, and the first support tool is configured so as not to fall off the first support tool by being supported by the first support tool at a predetermined position. The second support tool supports the side apron by the second support tool only when the first supported tool is supported at the predetermined position of the first support tool. It is characterized by being arranged at a position where it can be performed.

  In the bathroom according to the present invention, only when the first supported tool is supported at a predetermined position of the first supporting tool that supports the front apron, the second support tool allows the side apron to be attached to the second apron. It is located at a position where it can be supported by the support tool. Therefore, during the construction of the bathroom, after attaching the front apron, the operator can notice that the first supported tool of the front apron is not supported at the predetermined position of the first support tool. It is possible to prevent the worker from completing the construction work while the front apron is attached in an unstable state. Therefore, even if the bathroom is designed for care, such as providing a nursing space on the short side of the bathtub and a washing place adjacent to the long side of the bathtub, while maintaining the workability of attaching the apron The front apron can be securely attached so that the caregiver's bathing is not hindered.

  In the bathroom according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the second support is provided on the front apron.

  In this preferable aspect, the motor is provided by providing the second support tool on the front apron whose position changes between the state in which the first support tool is supported at a predetermined position of the first support tool and the state in which the first support tool is not supported. Even if the first means to be supported is supported at a predetermined position of the first support device, the second apron is used by the second support device. It can be located at a position where it can be supported. In this way, there is no need to provide electrical means that require countermeasures against flooding in environments that are subject to flooding, such as bathrooms, so it is possible to reliably install the apron while maintaining the workability with a simple configuration. The front apron can be securely attached.

  In the bathroom according to the present invention, the second support device is provided to be movable with respect to the front apron, and the first supported device is supported at the predetermined position of the first support device. It is also preferable to provide a movement restricting means that allows the second support tool to move to a position where the side apron can be supported by the second support tool only when the second support tool is supported.

  In this preferred embodiment, the second support member that supports the second supported portion of the side apron is provided so as to be movable with respect to the front apron, and the first supported device of the front apron is further provided with the first supported device. A movement restricting means that allows the second support tool to move to a position where the side apron can be supported by the second support tool only when it is supported at a predetermined position of the one support tool. Provided. Therefore, after attaching the front apron, in order to attach the side apron, the second support is moved to a position where the side apron can be supported by the second support. When one supported tool is not supported at a predetermined position of the first support tool, that is, when the front apron is in an unstable mounting state, it cannot be moved to that position by the movement restricting means. Therefore, before attaching the side apron, it is possible to grasp that the first supported tool of the front apron is not supported at the predetermined position of the first supporting tool, and even though the side apron cannot be attached. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unnecessary work such as performing work to attach the side apron without knowing that. Thus, in the bathroom according to the present invention, the front apron can be securely attached without causing unnecessary work when it is noticed that the attachment state of the front apron is unstable.

  According to the bathroom of the present invention, a care space is provided on the short side of the bathtub, and a washing place is provided adjacent to the long side of the bathtub, while improving the workability of attaching the apron, The front apron can be securely attached so that bathing is not hindered.

  The bathroom 1 which is embodiment of this invention is demonstrated referring FIG. 1, FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bathroom 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the other hand, FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a top view of the bathroom 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom 1 includes a bathtub 3, a washing place 5, and a care space KS. The bathtub 3 is disposed at a corner portion formed by the long side wall 7a and the side wall 7b, and the short side of the bathtub 3 on the side wall 7d side is a side wall 7d in order to form a care space KS. Are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other. On the other hand, the washing place is provided adjacent to the longitudinal side of the bathtub 3 opposite to the side wall 7a. Since the bathroom is configured with such an arrangement, the caregiver can stand in the care space KS and support the operation when the care receiver moves from the washing place to the bathtub.

  The bathtub 3 has a tank portion 3a for storing hot water and a rim portion 3b. Furthermore, the handrail 13 is provided in the side wall of the tank part 3a so that the bathing operation of a care receiver can be supported. A drain hole 11 for draining hot water is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 3. On the other hand, the washing place 5 is provided with a drain trap (not shown), and a drain lid 15 is disposed so as to cover the drain trap.

  The bathroom 1 further includes an apron that covers the side wall of the tank 3 a of the bathtub 3. Specifically, a front apron 21 that covers the side wall of the tub portion 3a on the washing area side and a side apron 23 that covers the side wall of the tub portion 3a on the care space KS side are provided. The floor surface of the bathroom 1 is provided with a bank portion 19 that protrudes upward from the bathroom floor surface in order to partition the washing space 5 and the care space floor surface 17 from the bathtub arrangement floor surface 18 in which the bathtub 3 is disposed. (Refer FIG. 3) The front apron 21 and the side apron 23 are attached so that the opening of this bank part 19 and the rim | limb part 3b of the bathtub 3 may be plugged up.

  Subsequently, the attachment structure of the front apron 21 and the side apron 23 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded view showing a state in which the front apron 21 and the side apron 23 are removed.

  A plurality of front apron support tools 27 for supporting the front apron 21 are provided on the side wall of the tank portion 3a on the washing place 5 side. A front apron support 27 is also provided on the support column 25 that supports the bathtub 3. The front apron support 27 provided in the tank part 3a is configured by a support base 27a fixed to the tank part 3a with screws or the like, and a support spring 27c disposed on the support base 27a. On the other hand, the front apron support 27 provided on the support column 25 is composed of a support plate 27b fixed to the support column 25 and a support spring 27c disposed thereon.

  On the other hand, the front apron 21 is provided with a plurality of front apron supported tools 31 protruding from the side surface on the tank portion 3a side to the tank portion 3a side. The front apron 21 is attached by the front apron supported tool 31 being supported by the front apron support tool 27.

  Here, the attachment state of the front apron 21 will be described more specifically. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the front apron 21 is attached. As shown in FIG. 4, the front apron 21 is attached so that the upper end of the front apron 21 and the front apron supported tool 31 are sandwiched between the rim portion 3 b and the support spring 27 c of the front apron support tool 27. Since the support spring 27c is arranged so as to apply a force upward to the front apron supported tool 31, the upper end of the front apron 21 is pressed against the rim portion 3b by supporting the support spring 27c. It is configured to be attached with.

  Further, the support spring 27c is formed to have a mountain-shaped cross section, and the front apron supported tool 31 is formed to have a cross section similar to the mountain-shaped cross section. When the front apron 21 is attached, the front apron 21 sandwiched between the support spring 27c and the rim portion 3b is overlapped (engaged) with the portions having the mountain-like cross sections so that the front apron 21 can be It can be prevented from being positioned on the tank portion 3a side. Thereby, it can prevent that the front apron supported tool 31 falls off from the support spring 27c, and the front apron 21 comes off. Therefore, when the front apron 21 is attached, as described above, a predetermined position where the portion having the mountain-shaped cross section of the front apron supported tool 31 can be superimposed on the portion having the mountain-shaped cross section of the support spring 27c. Therefore, it is necessary to support the front apron supported tool 31 by the support spring 27c.

  Next, the attachment structure of the side apron 23 will be described. Similarly to the front apron 21, the side apron 23 is supported by a support tool and attached by being sandwiched between the support tool and the rim portion 3b.

  The side apron 23 is configured so that the right side and the left side are each supported by one support. A part of the front apron 21 wraps around the short side of the bathtub 3, and a side apron right support 33 that supports the right side of the side apron 23 is attached to the connection plate 29 fixed to the wrap portion 21 a. (In this embodiment, the side apron right support tool 33 corresponds to the “second support tool” of the present invention). On the other hand, the side apron left support 35 that supports the left side is fixed to the support column 25 that supports the bathtub 3. In the bathroom 1 of the present embodiment, since the side apron right support 33 is attached to the front apron 21 in this way, the procedure of attaching the front apron 21 first and then attaching the side apron at the time of construction is performed. And construction is done.

  The right side apron support 33 has a support plate 33a and a support spring 33b fixed on the support plate 33a. The support plate 33a is composed of a horizontal plate 33aa and a vertical plate 33ab standing upright to the horizontal plate 33aa, and the vertical plate 33ab has four screw holes. The support plate 33a is fixed to the connection plate 29 by inserting a screw 43 into a slit 29a provided vertically long in the connection plate 29 and screwing the screw 43 into a screw hole of the vertical plate 33ab. (See FIG. 5). Therefore, by loosening or tightening the screw 43, the right side apron support 33 can be moved in the vertical direction with respect to the connection plate 29 and can be fixed at a desired position.

  On the other hand, the side apron left support 34 has a support plate 35a and a support spring 35b fixed thereon. Similar to the support plate 33 a, the support plate 35 a includes a horizontal plate 35 aa and a vertical plate 35 ab, and the vertical plate 35 ab is fixed to the support column 25.

  Two side apron supported tools that protrude toward the tank portion 3a are provided on the side surface of the side apron 23 on the tank portion 3a side of the bathtub 3. One is a side apron right supported tool 37 supported by the side apron right support 33, and the other is a side apron left supported tool 39 supported by the side apron left support 35. The side apron 23 is configured so that these supported tools are attached to the corresponding supporting tools.

  Here, the support springs 33 b and 35 b that support the side apron 23, the side apron right supported tool 37, and the side apron left supported tool 39 are the same as the support spring 27 c and the front apron supported tool 31 of the front apron 21. It has the shape of Therefore, the side apron 23 is also configured to be sandwiched and attached in the same manner as the front apron 21.

The bathroom 1 of the present embodiment is in a state in which the front apron 21 is not securely attached at the time of construction (the front apron supported tool 31 is supported by the front apron support tool 27, but the front apron 21 is on the side of the washing place 5 In order not to complete the construction in a state where it is not supported at a predetermined position that does not shift to the tank portion 3a side, a contrivance is made to make the installer recognize that the front apron 21 is not firmly attached. In particular,
If the front apron 21 is not securely attached, the side apron right support tool 33 is prevented from moving to a desired position where the side apron 23 is supported.

  A mechanism that cannot move to a desired position will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the side apron right support 33 is moved in a state where only the front apron 21 is attached. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the front apron 21 is firmly attached. When attaching the front apron 21 in the present embodiment, first, the installer needs to move and fix the side apron right support 33 upward. FIG. 5A shows a state immediately after the front apron 21 is firmly attached in the state of being moved as described above. After the front apron 21 is attached, it is necessary to lower the position of the side apron right support 33 to a desired position, but the bathroom 1 of the present embodiment is only in a state where the front apron 21 is firmly attached. The side apron right support 33 cannot be moved to such a position. That is, the bathroom 1 includes a movement restricting means 41 that restricts the movement of the side apron right support tool 33.

  Specifically, the corner portion of the bank portion 19 includes an inverted U-shaped support base 41a fixed to the bathtub arrangement floor 18 and a protrusion 41b that protrudes upward from the upper end of the inverted U-shaped support base 41a. Yes. A hole 33c is formed in the support plate 33aa of the right side apron support 33, and only when the front apron 21 is firmly attached, a protrusion 41b enters the hole 33c when moving, and the side apron 23 is moved. Can be moved to a desired position. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a state in which the side apron right support tool 33 is lowered to a desired position.

  Since the bathroom 1 of this embodiment is provided with such a movement restricting means 41, when the front apron 21 is not firmly attached, the protrusion 41b does not enter the hole 33c, and the horizontal plate 33aa does not enter the protrusion 41b. Will cause the installer to easily realize that the front apron 23 is not securely attached, and that the construction will be completed with the front apron 21 not securely attached. It can be surely prevented.

  Therefore, when the front apron 21 is firmly attached as shown in FIG. 6 when the front apron 21 is attached as viewed from the side apron side (FIG. 6 (A)), the right side apron support Since 33 can be moved to a desired position, the side apron right support 33 can be moved to the same height as the side apron left support 34.

  On the other hand, when the front apron 21 is not firmly attached (FIG. 6B), the side apron right support 33 and the side apron cannot be moved to the desired position. It becomes a different height from the left support tool 34. Since the bathroom 1 according to the present embodiment has only different heights as described above, the front apron 21 is not firmly attached before the side apron 23 is actually lifted and attached. Since this can be noticed, the side apron 23 is not lifted unnecessarily.

  In the bathroom 1 of the present embodiment, the side apron right support 33 is configured to be movable with respect to the connection plate 29. However, the front apron 21 is firmly attached to the installer without being configured to be movable. You can notice that you are not. Below, the bathroom 1 of the structure fixed so that the side apron right support tool 33 cannot move with respect to the connection board 29 is demonstrated as a modification.

  FIGS. 7 and 8 schematically show a state in which the side apron 23 is attached in a state in which the front apron 21 fixed so that the side apron right support 33 cannot move with respect to the connection plate 29 is attached. Yes. FIG. 7 shows how the side apron 23 is attached with the front apron 21 firmly attached, and FIG. 8 shows how the side apron 23 is attached with the front apron 21 not firmly attached. . 7A and 7B show the state before and after the side apron attachment, respectively, and similarly, FIGS. 8A and 8B also show the state before and after the side apron attachment. It is shown. Further, in the bathroom 1 in the modified example, when the front apron 21 is firmly attached, the distance between the support springs 33b and 35b of the side apron right support 33 and the side apron left support 35 is W1, The distance between the side apron right supported tool 37 and the side apron left support 39 supported by the support springs 33b and 35b is also set to W1.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the front apron 21 is firmly attached, the distance between the support springs 33b and 35b is the same as the side apron right support 33 and the side apron left support 37. Since it becomes (W1), as shown in FIG. 7B, the side apron 23 can be attached to a predetermined position in a desired posture.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the front apron 21 is not securely attached, the distance between the support springs 33b and 35b is the distance between the side apron right support 33 and the side apron left support 37. Since the distance W2 is greater than W1, as shown in FIG. 8B, the side apron right supported tool 37 is not supported by the side apron right support tool 33, and the side apron 23 is tilted. Since it cannot be attached in a desired posture, the installer can notice that the front apron 21 is not firmly attached when the side apron 23 is attached.
