When the upper mounting portion 21 is mounted at a predetermined mounting position 4, as shown in FIG. The front surface of the receiving portion 22 is located at a position spaced apart from the back surface 12a by a predetermined distance.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the apron 3 is attached between the flange portion 11 and the floor portion 6 of the bathtub 1 and covers the front surface of the bathtub 1. The apron 3 has an upper end 31 inserted into the insertion gap 5 and attached, and a lower end 32 attached to the floor 6. In the present embodiment, the upper end portion 31 of the apron 3 is bent toward the bathtub 1, and the rear end thereof becomes a contact portion 33 that contacts the front surface of the receiving portion 22 of the apron receiving member 2, and the spring is biased forward. An urging member 34 made of a material is provided. When the upper end 31 of the apron 3 is inserted into the insertion gap 5, the abutting portion 33 comes into contact with the front surface of the receiving portion 22, and the urging member 34 presses the back surface 12 a of the hanging piece 12, It is in a state of stretching between the back surface 12a and the front surface of the receiving portion 22, and is fixed. The apron 3 has a lower end portion 32 provided with a locking portion 35 projecting toward the bathtub 1, and the floor portion 6 is provided with a locked portion 61 made of a substantially C-shaped elastic material that opens forward. It is done.

  The apron 3 is mounted by first inserting the upper end portion 31 into the insertion gap 5, and then rotating the lower end portion 32 from the front toward the rear centering on the upper end portion 31, so that the locking portion 35 is covered from the front. Locked to the locking portion 61 and fixed. The locking portion 35 has a large portion formed between the distal end and the base end, and the locked portion 61 has a substantially C-shaped inlet smaller than the huge portion and has an inner portion larger than the huge portion in an unloaded state. Is also big. The locking part 35 enters the inside while the enormous part pushes the entrance of the locked part 61, and when the enormous part enters the inside from the entrance, the entrance 35 tries to shrink due to the restoring force, tightening the engaging part 35, The bottom end 32 of the apron 3 is prevented from coming off. The attachment of the lower end portion 32 to the floor portion 6 is not limited to the locking portion 35 and the locked portion 61 as described above.

  When the apron receiving member 2 is not attached to the predetermined attachment position 4, the apron 3 attached as described above is flush with the front surface of the apron 3 and the front surface of the hanging piece 12 when the apron 3 is attached. Not. Further, the upper end portion 31 and the urging member 34 of the apron 3 cannot be stretched with a predetermined force between the back surface 12 a of the hanging piece 12 and the front surface of the receiving portion 22. If the tensile force is weak, it may be easy to drop off, and if the tensile force is strong, excessive force may be applied to the bathtub 1 or the apron 3 or it may be difficult to remove. For this reason, in this embodiment, the positioning part 23 is provided so that the apron receiving member 2 may be attached to the predetermined attachment position 4.
