[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for installing a semi-recessed bathtub applied to a bathroom of a middle- and high-rise house, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an installation structure of a semi-recessed bathtub, a waterproof floor pan in which a washing place and a bathtub mounting part are integrally formed is installed in a bathroom, and the bathtub is placed in the bathtub mounting part from above the waterproof floor pan. There is a structure that is dropped onto the floor. In addition, in this type of semi-recessed bathtub, an apron is attached to the surface on the washroom side for the purpose of preventing articles such as soap from entering the bathtub mounting part and improving the design surface. I have.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, there are two types of semi-recessed bathtubs: outdoor hot water supply and indoor hot water supply, and the installation space of the bathtub main body differs depending on each type. For this reason, conventionally, it is necessary to separately manufacture waterproof floor pans having a structure corresponding to each type,
This has been one of the obstacles in reducing costs.

In order to solve such a problem, a waterproof floor pan having a larger installation space, that is, a waterproof bath pan having a bathtub mounting portion having a size in which an outdoor hot water supply type bathtub can be installed, has been proposed.
You can use it as a common floor bread of the two types,
In this case, when the indoor hot water supply type bathtub is installed, a new problem occurs such that a gap is generated between the apron and the washing place, and there is a danger when entering and leaving the bath.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is intended for a case where a plurality of types of semi-recessed bathtubs having different installation spaces are installed using a common waterproof floor pan. Even so, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub installation structure capable of eliminating a gap between an apron of each bathtub and a washing place.

[0006]

A configuration for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 corresponding to an embodiment. In the present invention, a washing place 21 and a floor 21a thereof fall down. A waterproof floor pan 2 integrally formed with a step portion (bath tub placing portion) 22 is arranged in a bathroom, and the bath tub 1 is dropped into the step portion 22 of the floor pan 2 and arranged. It is characterized by arranging a spacer 3 between the apron 11 mounted on the side surface and the side wall surface 22a of the step portion 22 for concealing a gap A generated between the apron 11 and the side wall surface 22a.

[0007]

[Function] When an indoor hot water supply type bath tub is installed on a waterproof floor pan having an installation space corresponding to an outdoor hot water supply type bath tub, a gap is formed between the apron of the bath tub and the washing place. By doing so, it becomes possible to use one kind of waterproof floor pan in common for two hot water supply type bathtubs, outdoor and indoor.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of the embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of the main part of the embodiment. The bathtub 1 is of a semi-recessed type, and when installed on the waterproof floor pan 2, an apron 11 is mounted on a surface located on the washing place 21 side. The apron 11 has a structure that is detachable from the bathtub 1.

On the other hand, the waterproof floor pan 2 has a structure in which a washing place 21 and a bathtub placing part 22 are integrally formed, and the bathtub placing part 22 falls down on the floor surface 21a of the washing place. . In addition, a groove 21b extending in parallel with the side wall 22a of the bathtub mounting portion and having a uniform width is provided at a position near the bathtub mounting portion 22 of the washing place 21. This groove 2
1b is for guiding the drainage of the washing place 21 to a drainage hole (not shown). In addition, the waterproof floor pan 2 of this example is
This is a semi-recessed bathtub for outdoor hot water supply type.

The procedure for installing the bathtub 1 in the bathroom is as follows. First, the waterproof floor pan 2 is placed on the bathroom floor, and leg bolts (not shown) are used.
After installation using a bath, etc., the bathtub 1
Is dropped into the bathtub mounting portion 22 and is placed on the floor. At this time, when the bathtub 2 is of an indoor hot water supply type, the apron 11 of the bathtub and the side wall surface 22a of the bathtub mounting portion are provided. A gap A is generated between them. Therefore,
In the embodiment of the present invention, the apron 11 and the side wall surface 2 are used.
The space 3 is fitted between the space 2a and the space 3 to cover the gap A, thereby ensuring safety when entering and exiting the bath.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the spacer 3 is an L-shaped plastic molded product having a claw portion 3c which is hooked on a rising portion 21c of a groove of the waterproof floor pan 2, and has a long side 3b. An elastic material 31 and a positioning member 32 are fixed to the inner side surface. When the claw portion 3c is hooked on the rising portion 21c of the groove 21b by these members, the short side 3a extends substantially in the horizontal direction and the claw portion 3c extends. 3
c is pressed against the rising portion 21c with an appropriate force. Therefore, in this mounted state, there is no occurrence of displacement or rattling of the spacer 3. The elastic material 31 also functions as a heat insulating material for the bathtub 1.

According to the above embodiment, the spacer 3
Has a structure that can be detachably attached to the waterproof floor pan 2, and furthermore, since the apron 11 of the bathtub 1 is also detachable, the bathtub mounting portion 22 can be easily cleaned. There is also. In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, an example in which the present invention is applied to the installation of two types of bath tubs, ie, an indoor and an outdoor hot water supply system, has been described. It is also applicable to the installation of a bathtub of the type.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when a bathtub is installed on a waterproof floor pan, if a gap is formed between the apron of the bathtub and the washing area of the floor pan,
Since the spacer is arranged between the apron and the washing place to hide the gap, for example, it is possible to use a waterproof floor pan for an outdoor hot water supply type bathtub in an indoor hot water supply type bathtub. , Varieties of waterproof floor bread,
It is possible to reduce the cost as compared with the related art, and as a result, it is possible to reduce the cost.
