Next, the positioning method of the bathtub in the bathroom unit 1 of Example 1 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.
First, as shown in FIG. 7, the bathtub 10 is placed on the frame member 20 from the wash floor 40 side with respect to the frame member 20 and the wash floor 40 installed at predetermined positions. At this time, the bathtub 10 is placed so that the engaging portion 17 engages with the frame member 20 in such a form that the frame contact portion 17A and the guide portion 17B straddle the frame member 20 from above. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the bathtub 10 is placed on the near side (washing floor 40 side) from the regular position indicated by the two-dot chain line.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the bathtub 10 is pushed in a direction away from the washing floor 40. At this time, the bathtub 10 can be suitably pushed along the frame member 20 by the action of the guide portion 17B. And the positioning of the bathtub 10 is completed by pushing in the bathtub 10 until the positioning contact part 18 contacts the positioning member 30.

  The bathroom unit 1 does not use fixing means for fixing the bathtub 10 and the frame member 20. The bathroom unit 1 is integrally fixed by assembling a pillar member, a wall member, and the like around the periphery of the bathtub 10 and the washing floor 40.

  Further, when the bathtub 10 is placed on the frame member 20, the upper end portion of the apron portion 43 is inserted into the rear side of the front hanging portion 13 of the bathtub 10. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8, the apron part 43 has the upper end inclined toward the washing floor 40 due to the bathtub 10 being placed on the near side of the regular position. Then, by pushing the bathtub 10 away from the washing floor 40, the inclination of the apron portion 43 toward the washing floor 40 is eliminated, and the apron portion 43 is erected substantially vertically. Moreover, in the bathroom unit 1 of the first embodiment, the position of the positioning member 30 is adjusted in the front-rear direction, or the apron portion 43 and the bathtub 10 are adjusted at the connecting portion, thereby adjusting the inclination of the apron portion 43. Fine adjustments can also be made.

  Further, when the bathtub 10 is placed on the frame member 20, the following may be performed. First, the rear locking portion 17 is first placed on the frame member 20 with the bathtub 10 tilted. And in the state which floated the front side of the bathtub 10, the front side of the bathtub 10 was lowered | hung while pushing the bathtub 10 back along the frame member 20, and the upper end part of the apron part 43 is inserted in the rear side of the front hanging part 13 Like that. In this case, the bathtub 10 can be placed while suppressing the apron portion 43 from being largely inclined toward the washing floor 40.

  Next, the effect of the bathroom unit 1 of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described. The bathroom unit 1 according to the first embodiment includes a bathtub 10, a frame member 20, and a positioning member 30. The positioning member 30 is provided so as to protrude upward from the frame member 20 and contacts the bathtub 10 to position the bathtub 10. The positioning member 30 positions the bathtub 10 by restricting the bathtub 10 from moving in a direction away from the washing floor 40. With such a configuration, the bathtub 10 can be easily positioned. That is, the positioning of the bathtub 10 can be performed by a simple method of placing the bathtub 10 on the near side of the regular position and then pushing the bathtub 10 in a direction away from the washing floor 40.

  Therefore, the bathroom unit 1 of the first embodiment can be easily assembled.

  In the bathroom unit 1, the positioning member 30 is provided at the end of the frame member 20 on the side away from the washing floor 40. For this reason, when placing the bathtub 10 on the frame member 20, the lower part of the bathtub 10 rides on the positioning member 30 by placing the bathtub 10 closer to the washing floor 40 than the normal position. Can be prevented.

  In the bathroom unit 1, the positioning member 30 is provided along the frame member 20 so that the position thereof can be adjusted in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the fine adjustment of the position of the bathtub 10 can be performed easily, and positioning of the bathtub 10 can be performed more reliably.

  Further, the bathroom unit 1 slides the bathtub 10 along the frame member 20 by pushing in the direction away from the washing floor 40 and causes the positioning contact portion 18 to contact the positioning member 30. For this reason, compared with the case where it positions by pulling a bathtub like patent document 1, it can position more easily and reliably. Moreover, since positioning of the bathtub 10 can be performed reliably, the bathtub 10 can be arrange | positioned with the defined design dimension, and the other member assembled | attached after that can also be assembled | attached reliably. For example, in the case of the bathroom unit 1, the wall member is erected on the wall mounting portion 14 provided on the periphery of the bathtub 10 and the washing floor 40. For this reason, depending on the size of the bathroom interior, a gap may be formed between the apron portion 43 and other wall members or may not be fitted. However, these problems can be avoided by reliably positioning the bathtub on which the wall member is placed.

<Example 2>
The bathroom unit 1 of the second embodiment includes a bathtub 10 and a frame member 20 as in the first embodiment. However, as shown in FIG. 10, the positioning member 230 is different from the first embodiment in that the positioning member 230 is provided so as to protrude laterally in the left-right direction of the frame member 20. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.
