Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to bathroom units.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the bathroom unit UB that is installed and used in the bathroom, it is known that the apron AP of the bathtub protrudes toward the wash floor WP so that a gap is formed between the wash floor WP. (For example, patent document 1). The apron AP is detachably attached to the side surface of the bathtub. At this time, the apron AP can be easily attached and detached by providing a handle portion that makes it easier to put fingers on the lower end portion of the protruding apron AP.

  Moreover, in such bathroom unit UB, when removing apron AP, providing the fall prevention member is performed so that apron AP may not fall. The fall prevention member is provided on the back side of the apron AP, and prevents the apron AP from falling by being placed on the weir portion of the waterproof pan when the apron AP is removed from the bathtub. Thereby, it can suppress that a finger | toe is pinched between the fallen apron and the washing-room floor.

  However, in the structure in which the fall prevention member is placed on the weir portion of the waterproof pan to suppress the fall of the apron AP, when the apron AP is pulled to the floor side of the washing place vigorously, the apron AP is suddenly separated from the bathtub and dropped. There is also a possibility that the prevention member may be separated from the top of the waterproof pan to the washing floor. That is, when the apron AP is vigorously pulled toward the washing floor, the fall prevention member may not be placed on the weir portion of the waterproof pan, and the apron AP may fall.

  Therefore, a projecting portion PM that projects downward is provided at the lower end of the apron AP. When the apron AP is dropped, the projecting part PM creates a gap between the lower end of the apron AP and the washing floor WP, and the user places a finger between the lower end of the apron AP and the washing floor WP. Suppresses pinching.

  Protrusion part PM is arrange | positioned in the edge part vicinity of the left-right direction of the lower end part of apron AP, in order to suppress the fall of the beauty | look of bathroom unit UB accompanying visual recognition of protrusion part PM. However, when the projecting portion PM is provided in the vicinity of the left and right end portions of the lower end portion of the apron AP, the region SWa below the apron AP of the side wall portion SW adjacent to the apron AP in the state where the apron AP is attached to the bathtub. It becomes difficult to clean.

  Since the projecting part PM is arranged at a distance from the side wall part SW, the area SWa below the apron AP is exposed. Therefore, it is desirable that this area SWa is easy to clean, but since the protrusion PM is not provided at a sufficient distance from the area SWa, when the area SWa is to be cleaned with a sponge or the like, The protrusion PM may be an obstacle and it may be difficult to clean the region SWa. For this reason, dirt remains in the region SWa, and the aesthetics in the bathroom unit UB may be lowered. On the other hand, if the protruding portion PM is sufficiently separated from the area SWa, the aesthetic appearance of the bathroom unit UB accompanying the visual recognition of the protruding portion PM is reduced as described above.

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 this specification, the direction from the bathtub 12 toward the washing floor 14 is referred to as “front”, and the opposite direction is referred to as “rear”. That is, the washing floor 14 is adjacent to the front of the bathtub 12. In the present specification, the right side and the left side of the state facing forward are referred to as “right side” and “left side”, respectively. In the present specification, the left-right direction is a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction in which the bathtub 12 and the washing floor 14 are arranged.

FIG. 2 is a front view schematically illustrating the bathtub of the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
FIG. 3 schematically shows a cross section taken along line A1-A2 of FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first apron 21 is detachably attached to a side of the bathtub 12 on the washing floor 14 side. The first apron 21 protrudes toward the wash floor 14 so that a gap is formed between the first apron 21 and the wash floor 14 when attached to the side of the bathtub 12. In other words, the first apron 21 projects forward.

  Similarly to the first apron 21, the second apron 22 is detachably attached to the side of the bathtub 12 on the washing floor 14 side. The second apron 22 is detachably attached to the side of the bathtub 12 along with the first apron 21 in the left-right direction. In a state where the second apron 22 is attached to the side of the bathtub 12, the second apron 22 protrudes toward the wash floor 14 so that a gap is formed between the second apron 22 and the wash floor 14.

  The first apron 21 and the second apron 22 are plate-shaped extending in the up-down direction and the left-right direction. In other words, the first apron 21 and the second apron 22 have a substantially rectangular plate shape substantially parallel to the side surface 12s of the bathtub 12. An inspection port or the like is provided on the side surface 12s of the bathtub 12, for example. The 1st apron 21 and the 2nd apron 22 improve the beauty | look of the bathtub 12, maintaining the maintainability of the bathtub 12, for example by covering the side surface 12s (inspection opening etc.) of the bathtub 12. FIG. The first apron 21 and the second apron 22 may have a plate shape curved in a convex shape or a concave shape.

  The length of the first apron 21 in the left-right direction is longer than the length of the second apron 22 in the left-right direction. For example, in the configuration in which one apron is attached to the side of the bathtub 12, when the counter is attached to the wall surface of the bathroom, the counter may be in the way, making it difficult to attach and detach the apron. In such a case, it is preferable to attach the first apron 21 and the second apron 22 to the bathtub 12 as shown in this example. For example, the second apron 22 having a short length in the left-right direction is arranged on the wall surface side where the counter is provided. Thereby, after removing the 1st apron 21, the 1st apron 21 and the 2nd apron 22 can be appropriately attached or detached also in the bathroom from which a counter etc. become obstructive by removing the 2nd apron 22. Further, for example, maintenance can be performed only by attaching and detaching the first apron 21, and the convenience of the bathroom unit 10 can be further improved. The number of aprons attached to the side of the bathtub 12 is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.

  When there is a gap between the first protrusion 31 and the washing floor 14, a sponge or the like is bite into the gap between the first protrusion 31 and the washing floor 14 and is below the first protrusion 31. The washroom floor 14 must be cleaned. At this time, if the first projecting portion 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a large diameter, the amount of the sponge or the like to be bitten has to be increased, which makes cleaning difficult. When the first projecting portion 31 is composed of the thin plate-like first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52, it is possible to reduce the amount of such sponge and the like below the first projecting portion 31. It is possible to further improve the cleanability of the washing floor 14 and the like.

  In the bathroom unit 10, the second plate portion 52 is provided on the rear end side of the first plate portion 51. Thereby, when the washing floor 14 below the first apron 21 is cleaned with a sponge or the like along the lower end portion 21 a of the first apron 21, it is possible to make it difficult to touch the second plate portion 52. Therefore, also when the 2nd board part 52 is provided, cleaning property can be improved more. Moreover, for example, the surface of the first plate portion 51 facing the room side can be easily cleaned, and the cleanability and aesthetics of the bathroom unit 10 can be further improved.

FIG. 7 is a plan view schematically showing a modification of the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view schematically showing a modification of the first apron of the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
Note that components that are substantially the same in function and configuration as those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in this example, in a state where the first plate portion 51 of the first projecting portion 31 is attached to the side of the bathtub 12, a predetermined interval in the left-right direction with the lower region 16 a. Is provided, and extends in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. In other words, the first plate portion 51 is provided at a position separated from one end in the left-right direction of the lower end portion 21 a of the first apron 21. And the 2nd board part 52 extends toward the lower area | region 16a side from the front-end part of the 1st board part 51 in the state attached to the side of the bathtub 12. FIG. In other words, the second plate portion 52 extends from the front end portion of the first plate portion 51 toward one end in the left-right direction of the lower end portion 21 a of the first apron 21. Here, the front end portion of the first plate portion 51 is, for example, a portion between the center in the front-rear direction of the first plate portion 51 and the front end of the first plate portion 51. Also in this example, the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 can be formed into a thin plate shape. In this example, the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 cover at least a part of the lower region 16a.

  Even when the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 are configured as described above, the first plate portion 51 can be reinforced by the second plate portion 52 as in the above embodiment. Since the 1st board part 51 and the 2nd board part 52 can be made into thin plate shape, it is required for the 1st protrusion part 31, reducing the quantity of the material used for the 1st protrusion part 31, and suppressing manufacturing cost. Strength can be secured. In addition, by configuring the first projecting portion 31 with the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52, for example, the washing floor 14 positioned below the first projecting portion 31 can be easily cleaned.

FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B are perspective views schematically showing a modification of the first apron of the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 9A, the second plate portion 52 may be provided near the center in the front-rear direction of the thin plate-like first plate portion 51 extending in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction. Also in this case, the first plate portion 51 can be reinforced by the second plate portion 52 as in the above embodiment. Therefore, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 9B, the second plate portion 52 is not necessarily provided. When sufficient strength can be obtained with only the first plate portion 52, the second plate portion 52 may be omitted. In other words, the first protrusion 31 may have a flat plate shape extending in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction. The shape of the first protrusion 31 may be any shape that can cover at least part of the lower region 16a.
