DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a bathtub 2 and a washing place 3 are installed on a waterproof floor pan 1, and a side surface 2 b of the bathtub 2 facing the washing place 3.
The structure in which the bathtub apron 4 is attached to the tub is illustrated. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the waterproof floor pan 1 is installed on a framed frame 5 and has a space 1A for installing the bathtub 2 and a washing place located higher than the space 1A for installing the bathtub 2. 3 and an installation space 1C for an apron support base 6 for supporting a bath tub apron 4 that covers the side surface 2b of the bath tub 2.
A drain groove 7 is provided on the upper surface near the end.

The apron support base 6 is, for example, shown in FIG.
(A) As shown in (b), it is made of a resin molded product having an inverted L-shaped cross section. The apron support base 6 extends in parallel with the bathtub 2 along the side surface 2b of the bathtub 2, and the apron support base 6 supports the bathtub apron 4. In other words, as shown in FIG. 2, one leg 6 a of the apron support base 6 is placed on the waterproof floor pan 1 substantially perpendicular to the upper surface 1 a of the waterproof floor pan 1, and the other leg 6 b is The legs 6a and 6b are horizontally mounted on the end upper surface 3a of the washing place 3, and the both legs 6a and 6b are fixed to the upper surface 1a of the waterproof floor pan 1 and the end upper surface 3a of the washing place 3 by an adhesive. I have. Further, a support portion 6c protruding upward is integrally formed on the upper surface of the apron support base 6, and the apron fixing leg 10 (FIG. 1) is placed on the support portion 6c and can be bonded. ing. A wooden reinforcing plate 8 is lined on the inner surface of the apron support base 6,
The apron support base 6 is reinforced from the inside by the reinforcing plate 8, and the periphery of the reinforcing plate 8 is molded with an adhesive 9 to prevent the reinforcing plate 8 from getting wet with water.

FIG. 1 shows the upper surface of the apron fixing leg 10.
And a lower edge 4b of the bathtub apron 4 is set by the positioning stopper 11 in a state where the lower edge 4b of the bathtub apron 4 is placed on the upper surface of the apron fixing leg 10. It is positioned with respect to the apron fixing leg 10, and the upper surface of the apron fixing leg 10 and the lower edge 4b of the bathtub apron 4 are bonded by an adhesive while being positioned by the positioning stopper 11. It is supposed to be. Furthermore, the upper edge 4a of the bathtub apron 4 is
a, a spring body 13 is fixed to a tip of the upper edge portion 4a with a screw 14,
The tip of the spring body 13 is in elastic contact with the side surface 2 b of the bathtub 2.

Next, when attaching the apron support base 6 to the waterproof floor pan 1, the legs 6a and 6b of the apron support base 6 shown in FIG. The both legs 6a and 6b of the apron support base 6 are fixed to the waterproof floor pan 1 by being bonded to the end upper surface 3a of the washing place 3, respectively. In this state, the apron support base 6
The upper surface of the supporting portion 6c serves as an installation surface of the bathtub apron 4 (FIG. 4). Next, the apron fixing leg 10 attached to the lower edge portion 4b of the bathtub apron 4 is placed on the upper surface of the support portion 6c of the apron support base 6, and the lower edge portion 4b of the bathtub apron 4 is positioned at the stopper for positioning the apron fixing leg 10. The apron fixing leg 10 is adhered to the support portion 6c with an adhesive in a state where it is accurately positioned by 11. Thus, the lower edge 4b of the bathtub apron 4 can be positioned and fixed to the apron support base 6 via the apron fixing leg 10.

As described above, the legs 6a and 6b of the apron support base 6 are connected to the waterproof floor pan 1 and the end upper surface 3a of the washing place 3.
By attaching and affixing the apron fixing leg 10 to the support portion 6c of the apron support frame 6, the bathtub apron 4 can be firmly positioned and fixed by the apron support frame 6. For the waterproof floor pan 1 having no ribs, an apron support base 6 separate from the waterproof floor pan 1 can be installed. Further, since the conventional rib does not protrude from the waterproof floor pan 1, the cleaning of the waterproof floor pan 1 becomes easy. Further, when the apron support base 6 is made detachable from the waterproof floor pan 1, an empty space of the apron support base 6 is formed in the waterproof floor pan 1, and the installation space 1A of the bathtub 2 is provided by the empty space.
Will spread. Therefore, it is possible to install bathtubs of different sizes, and there is no restriction on the construction. With this, the size of the bathtub that can be attached to the waterproof floor pan 1 is increased, and the versatility of the waterproof floor pan 1 is widened and various types of bathtubs are provided. There is also an advantage that the bathtub 2 can be sufficiently dealt with.

In this embodiment, since the apron support base 6 is adhered to the waterproof floor pan 1 using an adhesive, the apron support base 6 of the waterproof floor pan 1 can be easily attached and detached. Further, a wooden reinforcing plate 8 molded with an adhesive 9 is provided on the inner surface of the bathtub apron 4.
This has the advantage that both the effect of reinforcing the apron support base 6 by the above and the effect of sealing the reinforcing plate 8 by the adhesive 9 can be obtained.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides an installation space for a bathtub on a waterproof floor pan and an installation space for a washing place located above the installation space for the bathtub. An installation space for an apron support stand for supporting a bathtub apron covering the side surface of the bathtub is provided between the installation spaces, and the apron support base is provided with a leg placed on the upper surface of a waterproof floor pan and an end of a washing place. It has a leg placed on the upper surface and a support for supporting the apron fixing leg attached to the lower edge of the bathtub apron, and the lower edge of the bathtub apron is positioned on the apron support base via the apron fixing leg. Since it is fixed, it is possible to install an apron support stand separate from the waterproof floor pan, as opposed to the conventional waterproof floor pan without ribs. There is facilitated even such as cleaning by no longer protrude.
