Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a structure of an apron for a bathroom, more specifically, to a technique for installing an apron door that allows a storage box to be provided in the apron and to shield the opening of the storage box. .

[Prior Art] It is known that an apron 2 of a bathtub 1 is provided with a storage box 3 as shown in FIG. The storage box 3 is adapted to store small items used in the bathroom.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the above-described conventional example, when a cleaning tool or the like is stored as an accessory used in the storage housed in the storage box 3, it is usually not desired to be shown to the outside. Without it there is a problem. Therefore, it is conceivable to provide an apron lid 5 in the opening 4 of the storage box 3, but when the apron lid 5 is attached to the apron 2 so as to be openable and closable,
As shown in FIG. 9, attach one hinge piece 8 of the hinge 6 to the apron lid 5
Apron lid 5 on the back of the
Then, the other hinge piece 10 of the hinge 6 is fixed to the apron 2 by a fastener 9 such as a screw. However, the ninth
In the case of the figure, there is a problem that the head 9a of the fixing tool 9 is exposed on the surface side of the apron lid 5 and is unsightly. It should be noted that it is conceivable to attach the hinge piece 8 to the back surface of the apron lid 5 only by using an adhesive without using the fixing tool 9, but sufficient attachment strength cannot be obtained only by adhesion, and there is a variation in attachment strength. However, there is a problem that it is not suitable for implementation because it is large.

The present invention was devised in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional example, and its purpose is to provide a fixing device for mounting the apron lid that is not visible from the outside and has a good appearance, and also has a mounting strength. It is also to provide a strong and stable bathtub apron structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure of the bathtub apron according to the present invention is such that an apron 2 of the bathtub 1 is provided with a storage box 3 projecting rearward, and an opening 4 of the storage box 3 can be shielded. In the case where the door 5 is attached to the apron 2 by the hinge 6, the groove 24 is provided on the back surface between the opening 4 of the storage box 3 in the apron 2 and the end groove portion 22 provided at the side end of the apron 2. The reinforcing member 25 is arranged in the groove portion 24, and the protruding edge portion 7 is projected rearward along the outer periphery of the apron door 5, and one hinge piece 8 of the hinge 6 is fixed to the inner surface of the protruding edge portion 7. It is fixed by the fastener 9 and the other hinge piece 10 of the hinge 6 is fixed by the fastener 9 on the front surface of the portion of the apron 2 where the reinforcing member 25 is arranged. In order to solve the problems of the conventional example described above, It has been achieved.

[Operation] Then, the storage box 3 provided in the apron 2 is provided with the apron lid 5 so that the opening 4 can be shielded so that the small articles to be stored can be hidden from the outside. Although the apron door 5 is provided in the storage box 3, the hinge piece 8 is provided on the inner surface of the projecting edge portion 7 of the apron door 5.
The head 9a of the fastener 9 is not exposed to the outside because the fastener is fixed by the fastener 9, and the end groove 22 provided on the apron 2 has a clearance space at the side end of the apron door 5. Therefore, the rotation range of the apron door 5 can be widened, and the reinforcing material 25 and the presence increase the support strength of the apron door 5.

[Embodiments] The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom unit 10 has a wall panel on the mounting piece 12 at the upper end of the rising portion 9 on the outer periphery of the floor pan 11.
13 is erected, a ceiling panel 14 is laid over a wall panel 13, and a bathtub 1 is installed on a floor pan 11. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 15 is a water supply (hot water) device, and 16 is a shower device.

An apron 2 is attached to the bathtub 1 of the bathtub unit 10 on the side surface on the side of the washing room 17. The apron 2 has a lower end protruding between the bath pan installation part of the floor pan 11 and the washing space 17
Mounted on 18 (shown in FIGS. 1 and 6), support 29
The upper end of the apron 2 is attached to the back surface of the flange 19 of the bathtub 1 via a metal fitting (not shown) or the like. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, one side end of the apron 2 is a recess 20 slightly recessed from the other parts of the apron 2, and the recess 20 is opened except for the outer peripheral portion. Therefore, the storage box has an opening 21 for fitting. Further, the side portion of the side end portion 23 on the outer side of the recessed portion 20 is an end groove portion 22 further recessed toward the back. The back of the side end 23 on the outer side of the recess 20 is a groove 24 in which a reinforcing material 25 such as a reinforcing tree is fitted and fixed by a resin overlay 26. The storage box 3 is fitted in the storage box fitting opening 21, and the collar portion 27 of the storage box 3 is brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the recess 20 and fixed by the screw tool 28. The apron door 5 for blocking the opening 4 of the storage box 3 is provided with a projecting edge portion 7 projecting rearward along the outer periphery, and the apron door 5 is pivotable to the apron 2 by a hinge 6. Attached to. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, one hinge piece 8 of the hinge 6 is fixed to the inner surface of the projecting edge portion 7 by a fastener 9 such as a screw, and the other hinge piece 10 of the hinge 6 is recessed in the apron 2. It is fixed to the front surface of the outer side end portion 23 of 20 by a fastener 9 such as a screw. In this case, the fastener 9 is attached by the reinforcing member 25 portion, and at this time, the end recessed ridge portion 22 serves as an escape space for the side end portion of the apron door 5 to increase the turning range of the apron door 5. It is a thing. As shown in FIG. 5, a lock 30 is provided on the projecting edge portion 7 provided on the lower edge of the apron door 5,
It can be detachably locked to a locked tool 31 provided on the apron 2. Here, the lock tool 30 is also attached to the projecting edge portion 7 so that the fixing tool cannot be seen from the washroom 17 side.

When the apron door 5 is closed, it becomes as shown by the solid line in FIG.
The head 9a of the fastener 9 such as a screw for attaching the hinge 6 to the is invisible. Then, the apron door 5 is opened as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. In this way, when the apron door 5 is opened, the end of the apron door 5 escapes to the end recessed ridge portion 22 so that there is no hindrance to the rotation.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the storage box provided on the apron is provided with the apron lid so that the opening can be shielded so that the small articles to be stored can be hidden from the outside. It is a good one. In addition, even though the apron lid inside the storage box is provided in this way, when attaching the apron lid, the inner surface of the projecting edge is projected backward along the outer periphery of the apron door, and one of the hinges is attached. This hinge piece is fixed to the inner surface of the projecting edge with a fastener, and the other hinge piece of the hinge is fixed to the apron with a fastener, so the head of the fastener can be prevented from being exposed to the outside. The apron door can be supported with high strength because it is secured by a fastener and a reinforcing material is provided in the apron side fixing part. Since the end recessed part provided on the door serves as an escape space for the side end part of the apron door when the apron door is opened, the opening of the storage box can be fully opened by rotating the apron door greatly.
