  In the first embodiment, the apron part 4 is formed up to the back side of the side end surface of the upper extension part 37 of the end part on the second side 30b side in the first side 30a of the flat part 30. And the groove wall part 23 of the outer side of the bathtub 1 abuts on the side end of the upper extension part 37. Thereby, the upper extension part 37 will control the shift | offset | difference (movement) of the bathtub 1, and the upper extension part 37 functions as a control part (stopper).

  As described above, the bathtub 1 has the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the outer piece 27 placed on the connected portion 43 from above as shown in FIG. 3A, and a predetermined pan of the floor pan 3 as shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 6, an opening lid 42 is attached to the opening 41 and the connection is made. Thereafter, the wall panel 51 is placed, the ceiling panel 52 is placed, and the bathroom unit 5 is configured.

  The height adjustment with respect to the floor pan 3 of the bathtub 1 at this time is demonstrated. The builder 1 gets on the floor pan 3 in a state where the bathtub 1 is placed on the bathtub side frame 82 and the floor pan 3 is placed on the floor pan side frame 81. The installer inserts a hand, upper body, or, in some cases, the entire body into the opening 41, and adjusts the height of the support leg 9 of the floor pan side frame 81. Thereby, the installer can adjust the height with respect to the floor pan 3 of the floor pan side mount frame 81 and the bathtub 1 easily.

  The bathtub 1 is attached to the floor pan 3 with the lower surface of the curtain plate-like portion 14 in contact with or close to the upper surface of the lower horizontal portion 44. At this time, the first water stop material 61 is provided between the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the lower horizontal portion 44. In further explanation, when the lower surface of the curtain plate-like portion 14 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower horizontal portion 44, the outer surface of the lower end portion of the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the upper end portion of the lower horizontal portion 44 extends over the first surface. One water stop material 61 is provided. When the lower surface of the curtain plate-like portion 14 is close to the upper surface of the lower horizontal portion 44, the first water stop material 61 is interposed between the lower surface of the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the upper surface of the lower horizontal portion 44. Provided.

  As the first water blocking material 61, packing or caulking material (particularly silicon coking) is preferably used, but is not particularly limited. The water-stopping material usually has deformability so as to follow the shape of the gap, but the first water-stopping material 61 is also preferably highly deformable.

  Further, a second water stop material 62 is provided between the lower surface of the flange portion 13 and the upper surface of the upper horizontal portion 46. As the second water blocking material 62, packing is used, and the type of packing is not particularly limited. As the second water stop material 62, a material having a large deformability is preferable. The second water blocking material 62 may be provided between the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the vertical portion 45. In this case, when the bathtub 1 and the apron portion 4 are connected, the curtain There is a possibility that the second water blocking material 62 may be twisted or dropped due to the relative movement between the plate-like portion 14 and the vertical portion 45. For this reason, the second water blocking material 62 is preferably provided between the flange portion 13 and the upper horizontal portion 46.

  As described above, the bathtub 1 is formed by a hand lay-up molding method, and has a lower dimensional accuracy than a molded product by press molding. For this reason, when the bathtub 1 is connected with the floor pan 3, the dimensional relationship between the bathtub and the floor pan is likely to vary. Therefore, a first water stop material 61 is provided between the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the lower horizontal portion 44, and a second water stop material 62 is provided between the flange portion 13 and the upper horizontal portion 46. It is done. As a result, even if the distance between the curtain plate-like portion 14 and the lower horizontal portion 44 and the distance between the flange portion 13 and the upper horizontal portion 46 vary, the first water blocking material 61 and the second water blocking material 61 It is suppressed that the water material 62 absorbs variation and the water stop performance is deteriorated.

  In the first embodiment, the length of the vertical portion 45 is 20 mm, and the second water blocking material 62 is provided on the upper horizontal portion 46 above the vertical portion 45. For this reason, even if a part of the first water-stopping material 61 is damaged by water or the like jetted from the high-pressure washing machine at high speed, and the water enters from the damaged portion, the second water-stopping material It is difficult for water to reach 62.

  Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a reservoir recess 47 that is recessed toward the bathtub 1 is provided in a portion facing the upper extension portion 37 of the vertical portion 45. As shown in FIG. 4C, the first water stop material 61 is stored in the pool recess 47 to form a water stop material reservoir 61a. As described above, the apron portion 4 is formed up to the back side of the side end surface of the upper extension portion 37 at the end on the first side 30a, and the upper extension portion 37 is more than the facing apron portion 4. It extends to the upper side. For this reason, when an operator provides the 2nd water stop material 62 on the upper surface of the upper horizontal part 46, the upper extension part 37 becomes obstructive and it is difficult to see the back side of the upper extension part 37. There is a risk of forgetting to provide the second water stop material 62. Therefore, if it is forgotten to provide the second water stop material 62 on the upper surface of the upper horizontal portion 46, the water stop performance by the first water stop material 61 is improved by the water stop material reservoir 61a. Can do.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a water stop material 53 is provided between the upper extension portion 37 and the groove wall portion 23 of the bathtub 1. As the water stop material 53, packing or caulking material (especially silicon caulking) is preferably used, but is not particularly limited.

  Moreover, in 1st embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the reinforcing material 7 is provided in the surface at the side of the bathtub 1 of the apron part 4. As shown in FIG. The reinforcing material 7 includes an apron pressing portion 71, a bathtub pressing portion 73, and a connection portion 72. The apron holding part 71 is provided on the surface of at least one of the apron main body part 40 and the vertical part 45 on the bathtub 1 side. The bathtub pressing portion 73 is provided in contact with or close to the tank wall portion 12 and is provided on the upper portion of the tank wall portion 12 (as it goes upward). The connection part 72 connects the apron pressing part 71 and the bathtub pressing part 73.

  The reinforcing material 7 reinforces the apron portion 4 and improves rigidity and strength. The reinforcing material 7 is not particularly limited, including iron-based materials (SUS and steel), other metals (including alloys), composite materials, and the like. The apron portion 4 reinforced by the reinforcing material 7 has improved rigidity, and even if an impact force is applied to the outer surface, the apron portion 4 is not easily bent and damaged.

  In the first embodiment, a buffer member 64 is further provided between the tank wall portion 12 and the bathtub pressing portion 73. The buffer member 64 is configured by a member having an action of absorbing impact and reducing sound generation, such as rubber and urethane. Thereby, it is suppressed that the bathtub pressing part 73 and the tank wall part 12 of the reinforcing material 7 collide, and an impact and a sound generate | occur | produce.

  In the first embodiment, the tank wall portion 12 is further provided with a reinforcing material receiving portion 12a. The reinforcing material receiving portion 12a is in the shape of a horizontal rail, and a plurality of reinforcing material receiving portions 12a are provided over the entire length of the tank wall portion 12 in the width direction or partially. In the first embodiment, the reinforcing material receiving portion 12a is formed of synthetic wood made of a foam material, and has an advantage that an adhesive is easily attached. The reinforcing material receiving portion 12a may be formed of other materials such as rubber. The buffer member 64 may be provided in the reinforcing material receiving portion 12a as shown in FIG. 7A, or may be provided in the bathtub pressing portion 73 as shown in FIG. 7B. Moreover, you may provide directly in the tank wall part 12 instead of the reinforcing material receiving part 12a.

  The bathtub 1 of 1st embodiment is equipped with the wall connection part 24 connected with the wall surface 51a in the two sides of the outer periphery of the flange part 13. As shown in FIG.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of ease of work in which the caregiver moves the care recipient from outside the bathtub 1 into the bathtub 1 and bathes, it is optimal that the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 is opened. However, in this case, the bathtub 1 is not fixed to the wall surface 51a at all and becomes unstable. That is, when the bathtub 1 stores a large amount of hot water and a cared person or a caregiver goes in and out, if a lateral force is applied to the bathtub 1, the bathtub 1 vibrates and is not stable, which is not preferable. . For this reason, in the first embodiment, at least one side of the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 is connected to the wall surface 51a. Furthermore, in 1st embodiment, since it connects with the apron part 4 integrally formed in the floor pan 3 also in the edge | side which does not follow the outer peripheral wall surface 51a of the flange part 13, fixation to the floor pan 3 of the bathtub 1 is carried out. Is made stronger and more stable.

  The bathtub 1 of 1st embodiment has the groove part 2 which has a predetermined | prescribed width | variety in the flange part 13 along the edge connected with the wall surface 51a, as shown in FIG. 1, and demonstrates below.

  In the first embodiment, the predetermined width is 150 mm as shown in FIG. The first purpose of providing the groove portion 2 is to place the hand on the flange portion 13 when the cared person stands up in the bathtub 1 and to easily extend the fingertip downward from the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 between the wall surface 51a. This is to ensure a gap for inserting a finger. In the first object, it is preferable that the gap (groove portion 2) has a width that allows a finger to be inserted with a margin and the arm is not inserted deeply. For this reason, the depth of the groove part 2 is set to a depth at which fingers and arms are not inserted deeply. In the first embodiment, the groove bottom 22 is provided so that the depth of the groove 2 is 100 mm, but the depth is not particularly limited, such as 50 to 150 mm.

  In the first embodiment, the width of the flange portion 13 is set to 60 mm so that a care recipient can easily place the hand on the flange portion 13 and sandwich the flange portion 13, but is not particularly limited.

  The second purpose of providing the groove 2 is that when the cared person stands up in the bathtub 1 and puts his hand on the flange part 13 along the wall surface 51a and sandwiches the flange part 13, the cared person's head. This is to ensure a gap that makes it difficult for the portion to collide with the wall surface 51a. In this second purpose, the gap width is preferably as large as possible, but if the gap is too large, the effective space in the bathroom is reduced. In the first embodiment, the width of the gap is 150 mm, and the numerical range is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 mm or more.

  In addition, when placing the hand on the flange portion 13 and standing up, the flange portion 13 may be pinched or grasped by hand. Good.

  Moreover, in 1st embodiment, the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 15 is provided in the predetermined distance below from the upper surface of the flange part 13 of the outer surface of the tank wall part 12. As shown in FIG. The concavo-convex portion 15 has a different feeling from the other portions, and is used to recognize that the care receiver is holding the flange portion 13 when the fingertip is extended downward from the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 and the flange portion 13 is sandwiched. Is. As a result, when performing the start-up operation, it becomes possible to be more aware of the portion where the force is applied. In 1st embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, FIG. 5A, etc. as the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 15, it is about 50 mm as predetermined distance from the upper surface of the flange part 13 in the outer surface (curtain plate-like part 14) of the tank wall part 12. Although it is a groove with a depth of 0.3 mm and a pitch of 5 mm formed within the range, it is not particularly limited to numerical values or grooves. In 1st embodiment, although the uneven | corrugated | grooved part 15 is formed in the outer surface perimeter of the tank wall part 12, it does not need to be formed in the perimeter.

  Moreover, in 1st embodiment, it is formed so that the straddle height of the bathtub 1 from the plane part 30 may be set to 400 mm. Moreover, it is formed so that the height from the upper surface of the tank bottom part 11 to the upper surface of the flange part 13 may be 500 mm.

  Moreover, in 1st embodiment, it forms so that the tank wall part 12 of the bathtub 1 may become near perpendicular | vertical (the angle which the normal line of the inner surface of the tank wall part 12 faces 1 degree-3 degrees upwards from horizontal). Thereby, when a cared person drowns in the inner surface of the tank wall part 12, it is suppressed that it slips below. Moreover, since the opposing distance of the inner surface of the tank wall part 12 in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1 is formed as short as 900 mm, even if a cared person falls on the inner surface of the tank wall part 12 and slides down, It is suppressed that a part sinks under the water surface.

  In addition, although arrangement | positioning in the bathroom in 1st embodiment is an arrangement | positioning as shown to FIG. 2A, the bathtub 1 and the bathroom which reversed right and left may be sufficient as another example. Furthermore, you may manufacture combining the bathtub 1 and the bathroom which are shown to FIG. 2A, and the bathtub 1 and the bathroom which reversed right and left as another example, In this case, connecting these bathrooms and forming a communicating port in between. Thus, care can be easily performed as a double bathroom.

  Next, 2nd embodiment is described based on FIG. 9, FIG. In addition, since it is the same as that of 1st embodiment for the most part, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part, description is abbreviate | omitted, and a different part is demonstrated.

  In said 1st embodiment, the bathtub 1 is equipped with the wall connection part 24 in two sides of the outer periphery of the flange part 13, and these two sides are connected with the wall surface 51a. On the other hand, in 2nd embodiment, the wall connection part 24 is provided in one side of the outer periphery of the flange part 13, only this one side is connected with the wall surface 51a, and the remaining three sides are open | released. Thereby, compared with the case where the two sides of the flange portion 13 are connected to the wall surface 51a, the care work is easier.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, since it is the same as that of 1st embodiment for the most part, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same part, description is abbreviate | omitted, and a different part is demonstrated.

  In said 1st embodiment, the bathtub 1 is equipped with the wall connection part 24 in two sides of the outer periphery of the flange part 13, and these two sides are connected with the wall surface 51a. On the other hand, in 3rd embodiment, the wall connection part 24 is provided in the three sides of the outer periphery of the flange part 13, all these 3 sides are connected with the wall surface 51a, and the other one side is open | released. Thereby, compared with the prior art example in which the three sides of the flange portion are connected to the wall surface, the cared person can easily extend the fingertip downward from the outer periphery of the flange portion.

  When a caregiver cares for a cared person, the caregiver moves the cared person from the outside of the bathroom to the inside of the bathroom, and further moves from the outside of the bathtub 1 to the inside of the bathtub 1 for bathing. Thereafter, the caregiver moves the cared person from the bathtub 1 to the outside of the bathtub 1 and further moves from the bathroom to the outside of the bathroom. In this case, one or two sides of the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 are connected to the wall surface 51a, and the remaining two or three sides of the outer periphery of the flange portion 13 are opened, thereby making the work easier. It can also be secured.
