  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bath lid of a bathtub apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is placed. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bath lid of the bathtub apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is removed. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the bath lid of the bathtub apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is removed. FIG. 4 is an AA schematic cross-sectional view of the bathtub apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bathtub device 100 includes a bathtub body 110, three bath lids 117 placed on the upper part of the bathtub body 110, and a pillow part 120 provided on the upper part of the bathtub body 110. . The number of bath lids is not particularly limited, and may be two, for example.

  The bathtub main body 110 has a flange portion 112 that surrounds the opening in a circumferential shape, and a flange step portion 114 that is formed below the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 112 and that is lowered by one step from the flange portion 112. The flange portion 112 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the flange portion 112 includes two long-side flange portions 112 a facing each other and two short-side flange portions 112 b facing each other. In the present embodiment, a flange step 114 is formed below the inner peripheral edge of the long side flange 112a and the short side flange 112b. The bath lid 117 is placed on the flange step 114 of the bathtub body 110. In this embodiment, since the flange step 114 is formed on both the long side flange 112a and the short side flange 112b, there are many portions where the bath lid 117 and the flange step 114 overlap, and high heat retention is achieved. Can be achieved.

  The pillow part 120 is arrange | positioned on one short side flange part 112b. The pillow portion may be disposed on both short side flange portions 112b. The pillow part 120 has a head receiving surface 120a on which a bather puts his head. The head receiving surface 120 a is an inclined surface that goes down toward the inner side of the bathtub body 110.

  In this embodiment, the pillow part 120 is a separate body from the bathtub body 110. By making the pillow part 120 separate from the bathtub main body 110, the pillow part 120 can be formed of a different material from the bathtub main body 110, and the choice of the material of the pillow part 120 spreads. For example, the pillow part 120 can be formed of a highly cushioning material, and the comfort of the bather can be enhanced.

  The pillow part 120 is arrange | positioned so that attachment or detachment is possible on one short side flange part 112b. For example, when the convex part (not shown) formed on the short side flange part 112b and the concave part (not shown) formed on the lower surface of the pillow part 120 are fitted, the pillow part 120 becomes the flange part. 112 is attached. By making the pillow part 120 easily detachable from the flange part 112 by such a fitting structure, the pillow part 120 and the bathtub body 110 can be easily cleaned.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view around the pillow portion 120. As described above, the pillow portion 120 is disposed on the one short side flange portion 112b of the bathtub body 110. A bath lid 117 is placed on the flange step 114 of the bathtub body 110.

  In the present embodiment, the end 120b on the inner side of the bathtub main body of the pillow part 120 is located on the outer side of the bathtub main body from the contact position CP between the bathtub main body wall surface 110a below the inner peripheral edge on the short side flange part side and the bath lid 117. ing. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the end 120 b on the inner side of the bathtub body of the pillow part 120 is retracted from the vertical wall part 114 a between the flange part 112 and the flange step part 114. That is, the end part 120b of the pillow part 120 is located on the outer side of the bathtub body from the vertical wall part 114a. Since the bath lid 117 is placed on the flange step 114, the end 120b on the inner side of the bathtub body of the pillow 120 is always in contact with the bath body wall surface 110a below the inner peripheral edge on the short side flange portion and the bath lid 117. It becomes the bathtub main body outside rather than position CP. Therefore, when the bath lid 117 is attached and detached, the bath lid 117 is unlikely to come into contact with the pillow portion 120, and the pillow portion 120 can be prevented from being detached from the flange portion 112 due to contact. The contact position CP may be located at the rising portion of the vertical wall portion 114a. Or when the flange step part 114 becomes the inclined surface which falls toward the bathtub direction inner side, the contact position CP may be located on this inclined surface. That is, the contact position CP is a point that regulates the movement of the bath lid 117 in the outward direction of the bathtub body.

  Although FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment in which the end portion 120b of the pillow portion 120 is retracted from the vertical wall portion 114a, the end portion 120b of the pillow portion 120 may be substantially aligned with the vertical wall portion 114a. Also in this case, the contact between the bath lid 117 and the pillow portion 120 can be prevented.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the surface 120c below the edge part 120b inside the bathtub main body of the pillow part 120 is an inclined surface which inclines toward the inner side of the pillow part 120 (namely, bathtub body outer side).

  If the surface 120c below the end portion 120b is not such an inclined surface, and the head receiving surface 120a is extended to the flange portion with the downward inclined surface, the end portion of the head receiving surface 120a contacts the bath lid 117. there's a possibility that. Further, a normal chamfered portion is formed between the vertical wall portion 114a and the short side flange portion 112b. If the pillow portion 120 is placed on this chamfered portion, the pillow portion 120 tends to become unstable. Such a situation can be prevented by retreating the entire pillow portion 120 to the outside of the bathtub body, but in this case, the head receiving surface 120a also retreats to the outside of the bathtub body, so that it is optimal for receiving a bather's head. There is a possibility that the head receiving surface 120a cannot be arranged at the position.

  Then, like this embodiment, by making the surface 120c below the end portion 120b an inclined surface inclined toward the inside of the pillow portion 120, the head support surface 120a is positioned as much as possible inside the bathtub body, Contact between the pillow part 120 and the bath lid 117 can be prevented, and the pillow part 120 can be stably disposed.

  Moreover, when the surface 120c below the end portion 120b is an inclined surface inclined toward the inside of the pillow portion 120, there is also an advantage that the pillow portion 120 can be easily detached from the bathtub body 110 by placing a finger on the surface 120c. . In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, an inclined surface 120 d that is inclined toward the inside of the pillow part 120 may be formed at the lower part of both side surfaces of the pillow part 120, so that the pillow part 120 can be easily detached from the bathtub body 110. .

  FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a state where a bath lid of a bathtub apparatus 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention is removed. In the bathtub device 200 according to the present embodiment, the flange step 114 is formed only below the inner periphery of the long side flange 112a, and the flange step is formed below the inner periphery of the short side flange 112b. The point which is not different from the bathtub apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view around the pillow portion 120. On one short side flange portion 112b of the bathtub main body 110, a pillow portion 120 separate from the bathtub main body 110 is disposed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, no flange step portion is formed below the inner peripheral edge of the short side flange portion 112b. Therefore, the edge part of the short side flange part side of the bath lid 117 is not on the flange step part, but is contacting the bathtub main body wall surface 110a.

  Also in this embodiment, the edge part 120b inside the bathtub main body of the pillow part 120 is located outside the bathtub main body from the contact position CP between the bathtub main body wall surface 110a below the inner peripheral edge on the short side flange part side and the bath lid 117. ing. This makes it difficult for the bath lid 117 to come into contact with the pillow portion 120 when the bath lid 117 is attached and detached, and prevents the pillow portion 120 from being detached from the flange portion 112 due to contact.

  In the above, it demonstrated based on Embodiment and its modification of this invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are examples, and that various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the claims of the present invention, and that such modifications and changes are also within the scope of the claims of the present invention. It is where it is done. Accordingly, the description and drawings herein are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
