Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to bathroom units.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in the bathroom unit 100 installed and used in a bathroom, it is known that the side surface of the bathtub 110 protrudes toward the washing floor 120 so that a gap is formed between the bathroom floor 120 and the bathroom. (For example, Patent Document 1). Thus, by projecting the side surface of the bathtub 110, for example, an impression that the bathtub 110 is floating can be given to the user, and the design can be improved.

  The washing floor 120 has a recess 122 with a drain outlet provided on the bottom surface. The cover 130 is fitted into the recess 122. The cover 130 covers the drain port and the like, and allows the water that has flowed to the washing floor 120 to be drained to the drain port in the recess 122 while suppressing the drain port and the like from being visually recognized by the user.

  The recess 122 is arranged close to the bathtub 110 side. For this reason, a part of the recess 122 and a part of the cover 130 are arranged below the side surface of the bathtub 110. Thereby, it is difficult for the user to visually recognize the concave portion 122 and the cover 130, and the beauty of the washing floor 120 can be improved.

  9A, in such a bathroom unit 100, a notch 130a is provided at one corner of the rectangular cover 130, and the notch 130a faces the washing floor 120 side. It has also been proposed that the cover 130 is easily attached and detached by attaching the cover 130 to the recess 122 as described above.

  However, when the notch 130a is provided as described above, the cover 130 may be attached to the recess 122 in the opposite direction with the notch 130a facing the bathtub 110 side. If the cover 130 is attached in the opposite direction, when the user removes the cover 130, as shown in FIG. 9B, the hand is placed in a narrow gap between the lower end of the side surface of the bathtub 110 and the washing floor 120. It is necessary to remove the cover 130 by inserting the cover 130, which makes it very difficult to remove the cover 130. Further, when the cover 130 is lifted, there is a possibility that a hand may be caught between the cover 130 and the bathtub 110 as shown in FIG. 9B.

  For this reason, in the bathroom unit, it is desired that the cover that covers the drain outlet of the washing floor can be easily attached and detached even when the side surface of the bathtub protrudes toward the washing floor.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bathroom unit 10 includes a bathtub 12, a washing floor 14, a recess 16, and a cover 18. The washing floor 14 is provided adjacent to the bathtub 12. The bathroom unit 10 is, for example, a so-called unit bath or system bath in which the bathtub 12, the washing floor 14, the surrounding wall panel, and the like are unitized.

  Hereinafter, in the present specification, the vertical direction is the Z-axis direction, the direction in which the bathtub 12 and the washing floor 14 are aligned is the X-axis direction (first direction), and the Z-axis direction and the direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction are the Y-axis direction ( (Second direction) may be called. In other words, the Y-axis direction is a direction parallel to the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 and orthogonal to the X-axis direction.

  The recess 16 is provided on the washing floor 14 close to the bathtub 12 side. The recess 16 is recessed below the floor surface 14 a of the washing floor 14. The recess 16 has a bottom surface 16a. Moreover, the recessed part 16 has the drain port 16b provided in the bottom face 16a.

  The drain port 16b is connected to, for example, a building drain pipe via a drain trap or the like, and drains water flowing from the washing floor 14 side to an external drain pipe or the like. Moreover, the recessed part 16 suppresses that the water drained from the bathtub 12 overflows to the washing-room floor 14 side, for example, when the water in the bathtub 12 is drained.

  For example, a hair catcher 20 is provided at the drain port 16b. The hair catcher 20 is detachably attached to the drain port 16b. The hair catcher 20 is formed in a lattice shape or a net shape having a plurality of openings, and suppresses hair and dust from flowing into the drain pipe. The hair catcher 20 is provided as necessary and can be omitted.

  The shape of the recess 16 viewed from above is a rectangular shape. In other words, the opening shape of the recess 16 is rectangular. The recess 16 is, for example, a recess that is recessed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. One side of the recess 16 extends in the X-axis direction. Another side of the recess 16 extends in the Y-axis direction. The shape of the bottom surface 16a viewed from above is not necessarily rectangular. The recessed part 16 should just be that the shape of an opening part is a rectangular shape at least. Each side of the opening of the recess 16 may be slightly curved.

  The cover 18 is detachably attached to the recess 16. The shape of the cover 18 viewed from above is a rectangular shape. The outer shape of the cover 18 is formed corresponding to the opening shape of the recess 16. When the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16, the cover 18 fits in the recess 16 and covers the upper side of the drain port 16 b while allowing drainage from the washing floor 14 to the drain port 16 b.

  As described above, the cover 18 covers the drain port 16b, the hair catcher 20, and the like while allowing drainage. Thereby, the beauty | look of the bathroom unit 10 can be improved. Further, the upper surface 18a of the cover 18 is substantially flush with the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 in a state where the upper surface 18a is attached to the recess 16 in the correct orientation (first orientation described later) as shown in FIG. “Substantially flush” means, for example, a state where the difference in position between one surface and the other surface is 2 mm or less. Thereby, it can suppress that a user etc. hook a leg | foot in the recessed part 16, etc., for example.

  The bathtub 12 has the 1st side part 31 (side part) which protruded in the washing-room floor 14 side so that a clearance gap might be produced between the washing-room floor 14. The first side surface portion 31 faces the washing floor 14 side. In other words, the first side surface portion 31 is the outer surface of the bathtub 12. A part of the lower end 31a of the first side surface portion 31 is located above the cover 18 attached to the recess 16, for example. The lower end 31 a of the first side surface portion 31 may not necessarily be located above the cover 18 attached to the recess 16.

  For example, the bathtub 12 further includes a second side surface portion 32 and a lower surface portion 33. The second side surface portion 32 faces the washing floor 14 and is provided closer to the bathtub 12 than the first side surface portion 31. The lower surface portion 33 extends in the X-axis direction, and connects the lower end 31 a of the first side surface portion 31 and the upper end of the second side surface portion 32. In other words, the lower surface portion 33 extends from the lower end 31a of the first side surface portion 31 toward the bathtub 12 side. The lower surface portion 33 is a surface facing downward.

  For example, the second side surface portion 32 extends upward from an end portion of the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 on the bathtub 12 side. The recessed part 16 is arrange | positioned adjacent to the 2nd side part 32, for example. For example, the inner side surface of the recess 16 on the bathtub 12 side is formed substantially flush with the second side surface portion 32. The first side surface portion 31 protrudes closer to the washing floor 14 than the second side surface portion 32. The protrusion amount of the first side surface portion 31 is less than the length of the concave portion 16 in the X-axis direction. Thereby, a part of the lower end 31 a of the first side surface portion 31 is located above the cover 18 attached to the recess 16.

  The 1st side part 31, the 2nd side part 32, and the lower surface part 33 are formed by the bathtub apron (side panel) attached to the bathtub main body of the bathtub 12 so that attachment or detachment is possible, for example. The 1st side part 31, the 2nd side part 32, and the lower surface part 33 may be formed continuously with the inner surface of the bathtub 12, for example. That is, the first side surface portion 31, the second side surface portion 32, and the lower surface portion 33 may be the outer surface of the bathtub body of the bathtub 12.

  For example, the second side surface portion 32 may be provided integrally with the wash floor 14. The second side surface portion 32 may be, for example, a rising portion (bank portion) that rises upward from an end portion of the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14. Thus, the 1st side part 31 may be provided in the bathtub 12, and the 2nd side part 32 may be provided in the washroom floor 14. FIG. The bathtub 12 should just have the 1st side part 31 at least.

FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are perspective views showing a recess and a cover according to the embodiment.
FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are perspective views showing a cover according to the embodiment.
FIG. 3A shows a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16.
FIG. 3B shows a state where the cover 18 is removed from the recess 16.
FIG. 4A is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the cover 18 is viewed from above (front side).
FIG. 4B is a perspective view illustrating a state where the cover 18 is viewed from below (back side).

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the concave portion 16 includes a first raised portion 61 and a second raised portion 62. The first raised portion 61 is provided at each of both end portions of the concave portion 16 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction). In other words, the 1st protruding part 61 is provided in the both ends in the direction perpendicular | vertical with respect to the direction where the bathtub 12 and the washing-room floor 14 are located in the recessed part 16. As shown in FIG. The first raised portion 61 is a portion raised upward from the bottom surface 16 a of the recess 16. Two first raised portions 61 are disposed on both sides in the Y-axis direction with the drain port 16b interposed therebetween. In this example, the first raised portion 61 is provided along each short side of the rectangular recess 16.

  The second raised portions 62 are provided at the end portions on the washing floor 14 side at the both end sides in the left-right direction of the recessed portion 16. The second raised portion 62 is a portion raised upward from the bottom surface 16 a of the recess 16. The second raised portion 62 is provided continuously with the first raised portion 61. Two second raised portions 62 are arranged on both sides in the Y-axis direction with the drain port 16b interposed therebetween. In this example, the second raised portion 62 is provided along the long side of the rectangular recess 16 on the washing floor 14 side.

  The first raised portion 61 has upper surfaces 61a and 61b. The upper surfaces 61a and 61b are mounting surfaces on which the cover 18 is mounted, for example. The upper surfaces 61a and 61b are substantially horizontal planes. The substantially horizontal plane is, for example, a plane in which the difference between the highest position and the lowest position in the plane is 2 mm or less. The upper surface 61b is substantially flush with the upper surface 61a.

  The second raised portion 62 has upper surfaces 62a and 62b. The upper surfaces 62a and 62b are substantially horizontal planes. The upper surface 62a of the second raised portion 62 is continuous with, for example, the upper surface 61a of the first raised portion 61, and is substantially flush with the upper surface 61a. The upper surface 62b of the second raised portion 62 is, for example, continuous with the upper surface 61b of the first raised portion 61 and is substantially flush with the upper surface 61b.

  The first raised portion 61 and the second raised portion 62 are portions of the recess 16 where the depth is shallow. In other words, with respect to the position in the Z-axis direction, each of the upper surfaces 61a, 61b, 62a, 62b is between the bottom surface 16a of the recess 16 and the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14.

  The recess 16 has end surfaces 16e and 16f, for example. The end surface 16e is provided continuously with one end of the upper surface 61a on the bathtub 12 side and faces the washing floor 14 side. The end surface 16f is provided continuously with one end of the upper surface 61b on the bathtub 12 side, and faces the washing floor 14 side.

  The cover 18 has a first side 41 and a second side 42. The second side 42 is a side opposite to the first side 41. More specifically, the rectangular upper surface 18 a of the cover 18 has a first side 41 and a second side 42 opposite to the first side 41. The upper surface 18a of the cover 18 includes, for example, a third side 43 extending from one end side of the first side 41 toward one end side of the second side 42, and the other end of the second side 42 from the other end side of the first side 41. And a fourth side 44 extending toward the side.

  The second side 42 is substantially parallel to the first side 41. The fourth side 44 is substantially parallel to the third side 43. Further, the third side 43 and the fourth side 44 are substantially orthogonal to the first side 41 and the second side 42. “Substantially parallel” means, for example, a state in which the angle formed by two sides is 2 ° or less. “Substantially orthogonal” means, for example, a state in which the angle formed by two sides is 89 ° or more and 91 ° or less. The outer shape of the cover 18 is, for example, a rectangular flat plate (cuboid).

  For example, the lengths of the first side 41 and the second side 42 are set to be slightly shorter (for example, about 1 mm to 4 mm) than the length of the recess 16 in the Y-axis direction. For example, the lengths of the third side 43 and the fourth side 44 are set to be slightly shorter than the length of the recess 16 in the X-axis direction. As a result, the cover 18 can be easily fitted into the recess 16, and the water that has flowed to the washing floor 14 from the gap between the inner surface of the recess 16 and the outer surface of the cover 18 is drained to the drain port 16 b. be able to.

  On the back side of the cover 18, four leg portions 18 b arranged at the four corners are provided. In each of the leg portions 18b, the length (height) from the lower end of the leg portion 18b to the upper surface 18a is substantially constant within a dimensional error range (for example, ± 0.5 mm). Each leg part 18b makes the upper surface 18a substantially horizontal in the state mounted in the horizontal surface.

  Further, a protrusion 18 e provided on the first side 41 side is provided on the back side of the cover 18. In this example, two protrusions 18e are provided side by side in the Y-axis direction at the end of the cover 18 on the first side 41 side. The length from the lower end of the protrusion 18e to the upper surface 18a is substantially constant within the range of the dimensional error.

  The protrusion 18e protrudes downward from the leg 18b provided on the first side 41 side. That is, the length (height) from the lower end of the protrusion 18e to the upper surface 18a is longer than the length from the lower end of the leg portion 18b to the upper surface 18a.

  The shape of the upper surface 18 a of the cover 18 is a rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the recess 16. Therefore, the cover 18 can be fitted into the recess 16 in the first direction with the first side 41 facing the bathtub 12 side.

  The cover 18 has a side surface 18 c along the first side 41 and a side surface 18 d along the second side 42. When the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction, both ends S1 and S2 of the side surface 18c are opposed to the end surfaces 16e and 16f of the recess 16.

  In a state where the cover 18 is fitted in the recess 16 in the first direction, each of the leg portions 18b is placed on the first raised portion 61 (the upper surface 61a or 61b). Thereby, in the state which attached the cover 18 to the recessed part 16 in the 1st direction, the upper surface 18a of the cover 18 becomes substantially horizontal. Further, the length from the lower end of the leg portion 18b to the upper surface 18a is substantially the same as the length in the Z-axis direction from the upper surfaces 61a, 61b of the first raised portion 61 to the floor surface 14a. Therefore, in a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction, the upper surface 18a of the cover 18 is substantially flush with the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 (see FIG. 5A).

  In the state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction, the protrusion 18e is not placed on the first raised portion 61 and the second raised portion 62. The length from the lower end of the protrusion 18e to the upper surface 18a is equal to or shorter than the length in the Z-axis direction from the bottom surface 16a to the floor surface 14a. In this state, the protrusion 18 e is accommodated in the space on the bathtub 12 side in the recess 16.

  For example, the user may try to attach the cover 18 in the second direction opposite to the first direction. That is, the cover 18 may be attached to the recess 16 in the second direction with the second side 42 facing the bathtub 12 side. When the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction, both end portions S3 and S4 of the side surface 18d are opposed to the end surfaces 16e and 16f of the recess 16.

  In a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction, each protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 62 (the upper surface 62a or 62b). At this time, for example, of the four leg portions 18b, the two leg portions 18b provided on the first side 41 side are separated from the first raised portion 61 and the two legs provided on the second side 42 side. The portion 18 b is placed on the first raised portion 61. Thereby, in the state where cover 18 was attached to crevice 16 in the 2nd direction, upper surface 18a of cover 18 inclines from a level surface (refer to Drawing 6 (a)). The length from the lower end of the protrusion 18e to the upper surface 18a is longer than the length in the Z-axis direction from the upper surfaces 62a, 62b of the second raised portion 62 to the floor surface 14a. Therefore, in the state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction, the position of the upper end of the cover 18 on the first side 41 side is higher than the position of the upper end of the cover 18 on the second side 42 side, and the floor surface 14a. Higher than the position of.

  Note that the number of the raised portions (each of the first raised portion 61 and the second raised portion 62) is not limited to two and may be any number. The first raised portion 61 and the second raised portion 62 are not only provided continuously with each other, but may be provided separately from each other. The number of the leg portions 18b is not limited to four, and may be any number that can be placed on the first raised portion 61 in the first direction. In this example, the four leg portions 18b are provided separately from each other, but the number and shape of the leg portions 18b are not limited thereto, and the leg portions 18b may be provided in the vicinity of at least four corners of the cover 18. That's fine. For example, the leg portions 18b provided in the vicinity of the four corners may be provided not only separated from each other but also connected to each other. The number of the protrusions 18e is not limited to two, and may be any number that can be placed on the second raised portion 62 in the second direction. The protrusion 18e does not necessarily have to be on the first side 41, and may be provided close to the first side 41 side. The shapes of the recess 16 and the cover 18 are not limited to the above, and may be any shape that allows the cover 18 to be attached to the recess 16.

  The recess 16 and the cover 18 have, for example, a horizontally long rectangular shape whose length in the direction parallel to the first side 41 and the second side 42 is longer than the length in the direction perpendicular to the first side 41 and the second side 42. . In other words, the length of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the Y-axis direction is longer than the length of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the X-axis direction.

  The lengths of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the Y-axis direction may be substantially the same as the lengths of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the X-axis direction, for example. That is, the shape of the recess 16 and the cover 18 as viewed from above may be a square shape. Alternatively, contrary to the above, the lengths of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the Y-axis direction may be shorter than the lengths of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the X-axis direction.

  The cover 18 includes a notch 52 provided on one end side of the second side 42. In this example, the notch 52 is provided at one end of the second side 42. In other words, the notch 52 is provided at the corner of the rectangular cover 18. However, the position of the notch 52 does not necessarily have to be one end of the second side 42. The notch 52 is not necessarily provided at the corner of the rectangular cover 18. For example, the notch 52 may be provided on the second side 42. The notch 52 is desirably provided close to one end side of the second side 42.

FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are cross-sectional views showing a recess and a cover according to the embodiment.
FIG. 5A shows a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction. At this time, the notch 52 is formed in a shape that allows the user to hang a finger.
The notch 52 allows a finger to be put on the cover 18 that is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction. For example, a notch that does not hold a finger is not included in the notch 52.

  Thereby, when the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction with the first side 41 facing the bathtub 12 side, as shown in FIG. 5B, the cover 18 is arranged on the washing floor 14 side. By placing a finger on the notch 52, bringing both ends S1, S2 of the side surface 18c into contact with the end surfaces 16e, 16f of the recess 16, and rotating the end of the cover 18 on the bathtub 12 side as an axis, Can be removed. The shape of the notch 52 may be any shape that allows a finger to be hooked when the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16.

FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are cross-sectional views showing a recess and a cover according to the embodiment.
FIG. 6A shows a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction. At this time, the position of the upper end of the cover 18 on the first side 41 side is higher than the position of the floor surface 14a. Thereby, at least a part of the side surface 18c is positioned above the floor surface 14a, and the user can place a finger on the side surface 18c. The protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 42 so as to lift the first side 41 side of the cover 18 to the extent that a finger can be hung.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, when the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction with the first side 42 directed toward the bathtub 12, the side surface 18c disposed on the washing floor 14 side is provided. It can be removed from the recess 16 by putting a finger on it, bringing both end portions S3 and S4 of the side surface 18d into contact with the end surfaces 16e and 16f of the recess 16, and rotating the end of the cover 18 on the bathtub 12 side around the axis.

Fig.7 (a) and FIG.7 (b) are sectional drawings showing the recessed part and cover which concern on embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the lower end 31a of the first side surface portion 31 is centered on the end of the cover 18 attached to the recess 16 in the first direction on the washing floor 14 side. When the cover 18 is rotated and removed from the recess 16, the cover 18 is disposed at a position in contact with the end of the cover 18 on the bathtub 12 side or a hand (finger) that holds the cover 18.

  Thus, the lower end 31 a of the first side surface portion 31 is disposed in the vicinity of the cover 18 above the cover 18 attached to the recess 16. The upper end (rim surface) of the bathtub 12 is located above the floor surface 14 a of the washing floor 14. The lower end 31a of the 1st side part 31 is arrange | positioned below rather than the center of the height direction (Z-axis direction) of the upper end of the bathtub 12, and the floor surface 14a of the washing-room floor 14, for example. A distance D1 in the height direction between the lower end 31a of the first side surface portion 31 and the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 is, for example, not less than 1 cm and not more than 10 cm. Thereby, for example, when a user standing on the washing floor 14 looks at the bathtub 12 from obliquely above, the second side surface portion 32 is covered and hidden by the first side surface portion 31, and the bathtub 12 floats from the floor surface 14a. You can strengthen the impression that you are.

  For example, in the cover in which the protrusion 18e is not provided, when the notch is attached to the recess 16 with the notch directed toward the bathtub 12, the user can remove the cover from the first side surface 31 of the bathtub 12. It is necessary to put a hand in the narrow gap between the lower end 31a and the washing floor 14 and remove the cover, which makes it difficult to remove the cover. When the cover is lifted, as shown in FIG. 7B, a hand or a finger is placed between the cover and the lower end 31a of the first side surface portion 31 or between the cover and the lower surface portion 33. There is also a possibility of pinching.

On the other hand, in the bathroom unit 10 according to the present embodiment, the cover 18 includes a protrusion 18e and a notch 52. As a result, when the cover 18 is erroneously attached to the recess 16 in the second direction (opposite to the correct orientation), the protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 62, thereby causing the protrusion. The first side 41 side of the cover 18 provided with 18e can be positioned higher than the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14. Thus, the user can remove the cover 18 from the washing floor 14 side by placing a finger on the first side 41 side of the cover 18. When the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the correct orientation (first orientation), the leg portions 18b at the four corners are placed on the first raised portion 61, and the protrusion 18e is not placed on the second raised portion 62. It fits in the space on the bathtub 12 side in the recess 16. In this case, the first side 41 side of the cover 18 provided with the protrusion 18e is not higher than the second side 42 side, and the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 and the upper surface 18a of the cover 18 are substantially flush with each other. Can do. At this time, the user can remove the cover 18 from the washing floor 14 side by placing a finger on the notch 52 provided on the second side 42 side. Therefore, even when the first side surface portion 31 of the bathtub 12 protrudes toward the washing floor 14, the cover 18 that covers the drain 16 b of the washing floor 14 can be easily attached and detached.
Further, when the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the first direction, the leg portion 18b is placed on the first raised portion 61, so that the length of the leg portion 18b can be shortened. Thereby, the cover 18 can be attached to and detached from the recess 16 more easily. For example, when removing the cover 18 from the recess 16, the distance that the user lifts the cover 18 from the recess 16 can be shortened. Even when the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in any of the first direction and the second direction, a finger can be hung on the portion of the cover 18 disposed on the washing floor 14 side. There is no need to put a hand in the narrow gap between the lower end 31a of the section 31 and the washing floor 14, and the hand is not caught between the cover 18 and the bathtub 12.

  In the bathroom unit 10, the length of the recess 16 and the cover 18 in the direction parallel to the first side 41 and the second side 42 is longer than the length in the direction orthogonal to the first side 41 and the second side 42. It has a horizontally long rectangular shape. Thereby, the exposure to the washing-room floor 14 side of the cover 18 can be suppressed, and design nature can be improved more. Moreover, it can suppress that water accumulates in the center vicinity of the X-axis direction of the washing floor 14 used frequently by the user. For example, when the drainage gradient of the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14 is formed so as to concentrate on the recess 16, the water flowing on the floor surface 14a is more compared to the vertically elongated recess and cover extending in the X-axis direction. It can be brought to the bathtub 12 side. Therefore, the comfort of the bathroom unit 10 can be further improved.

FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B are cross-sectional views illustrating modifications of the recess and the cover according to the embodiment.
FIG. 8A shows a state where the cover 18 is attached to the recess 16 in the second direction. The protrusion 18 e is placed on the second raised portion 62, and the upper end of the cover 18 on the first side 41 side is located above the floor surface 14 a of the washing floor 14. The side surface 18c along the first side 41 faces the washing floor 14 side.

  In a state where the protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 62, a gap G1 is generated between at least a part of the lower end 18g of the side surface 18c and the floor surface 14a of the washing floor 14. For example, in the state where the protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 62, the position of the lower end 18g is higher than the position of the floor surface 14a. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8B, the user can put his finger on the lower end 18g of the side surface 18c so as to put his finger into the gap G1. The gap G1 makes it easier for the user to put his / her finger on the cover 18, and the workability of removing the cover 18 is improved.

  The gap G1 does not have to occur over the entire lower end of the side surface 18c in a state where the protrusion 18e is placed on the second raised portion 62. For example, when the width in the height direction of the side surface 18c is not constant as shown in FIG. 4B, the gap G1 may be generated in the narrow portion.
