The second concave portion 34 is formed at a position corresponding to the standing portion 18 that constitutes the first fitted portion 20 of the one-side bathtub 10a. The standing portion 18 is inserted into the second concave portion 34 .

当接部３５は、第１凹部３３から第２凹部３４に向けて水平方向に延びている。当接部３５は、一側嵌合部３２が第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合した状態で、一側浴槽１０ａの第１被嵌合部２０を構成する水平部１７の他側面１７ａ（裏面）に当接する。他側浴槽１０ｂの荷重は、支持部材３０の当接部３５を介して水平部１７で受けている。 The contact portion 35 extends horizontally from the first recess 33 toward the second recess 34 . The abutting portion 35 is the other side surface 17a ( back). The load of the other side bathtub 10 b is received by the horizontal portion 17 via the contact portion 35 of the support member 30 .

この場合、第１凹部３３の底部３３ａと縦板部１６との間に隙間Ｓ１が形成され、第２凹部３４の底部３４ａと起立部１８との間に隙間Ｓ２が形成される。この隙間Ｓ１、Ｓ２は、支持部材３０や浴槽１０の第１被嵌合部２０の製造公差を考慮して形成されている。すなわち、一側嵌合部３２を第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合させたときには、縦板部１６と第１凹部３３の底部３３ａとの接触および起立部１８と第２凹部３４の底部３４ａとの接触よりも前に、当接部３５と水平部１７とが接触するようになっている。 In this case, a gap S1 is formed between the bottom portion 33a of the first concave portion 33 and the vertical plate portion 16, and a gap S2 is formed between the bottom portion 34a of the second concave portion 34 and the standing portion 18. The gaps S<b>1 and S<b>2 are formed in consideration of manufacturing tolerances of the support member 30 and the first fitted portion 20 of the bathtub 10 . That is, when the one-side fitting portion 32 is fitted to the first fitted portion 20, the contact between the vertical plate portion 16 and the bottom portion 33a of the first concave portion 33 and the rising portion 18 and the bottom portion 34a of the second concave portion 34 The contact portion 35 and the horizontal portion 17 are brought into contact with each other before the contact with the .

当接部３５の幅寸法（内側から外側までの寸法）は、縦板部１６の先端と対向する底部３３ａの部分および起立部１８の先端と対向する底部３４ａの部分よりも大きくなっている。従って、一側嵌合部３２にかかる他側浴槽１０ｂの荷重は、当接部３５と水平部１７との広い接触面積で受けている。一方、支持部材３０は、第１凹部３３が第１被嵌合部２０の縦板部１６に嵌合し、第２凹部３４が第１被嵌合部２０の起立部１８に嵌合することにより、浴槽１０に風などの外力が加わっても簡単に抜けないようになっている。従って、支持部材３０は、複数個の浴槽１０を安定して支持することができる。 The width dimension (the dimension from the inside to the outside) of the contact portion 35 is larger than the portion of the bottom portion 33a facing the tip of the vertical plate portion 16 and the portion of the bottom portion 34a facing the tip of the standing portion 18. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the load of the other side bathtub 10b applied to the one side fitting portion 32 is received by the wide contact area between the contact portion 35 and the horizontal portion 17. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, the support member 30 has the first concave portion 33 fitted to the vertical plate portion 16 of the first fitted portion 20 and the second concave portion 34 fitted to the standing portion 18 of the first fitted portion 20 . Therefore, even if an external force such as wind is applied to the bathtub 10, the bathtub 10 does not come off easily. Therefore, the support member 30 can stably support a plurality of bathtubs 10 .

他側嵌合部３６は、上下方向に積み重ねられる浴槽１０のうち他側に位置する他側浴槽１０ｂ（他側部材）の周縁部１５に設けられた第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合される。すなわち、支持部材３０は、他側嵌合部３６が第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合することにより、他側浴槽１０ｂを支持する。他側嵌合部３６は、支持部材３０が一側浴槽１０ａと他側浴槽１０ｂとの間に配置された状態で、内側（浴槽本体１１側）に位置する突出部３７と、突出部３７よりも外側に位置する第３凹部３８と、を有する。 The other-side fitting portion 36 is fitted to the second fitted portion 21 provided on the peripheral edge portion 15 of the other-side bathtub 10b (other-side member) positioned on the other side of the vertically stacked bathtubs 10. be. That is, the support member 30 supports the other bathtub 10b by fitting the other fitting portion 36 to the second fitted portion 21 . The other-side fitting portion 36 includes a projecting portion 37 positioned on the inner side (bathtub main body 11 side) in a state in which the support member 30 is arranged between the one-side bathtub 10a and the other-side bathtub 10b, and and a third recess 38 located on the outer side.

突出部３７は、他側浴槽１０ｂの第２被嵌合部２１を構成する水平部１７に対応する位置に設けられている。突出部３７は、他側浴槽１０ｂの縦板部１６、水平部１７、および延出部１９で画成される第２被嵌合部２１の凹部内に挿入される。この場合、突出部３７は、水平部１７の一側面１７ｂ（表面）に当接する。 The projecting portion 37 is provided at a position corresponding to the horizontal portion 17 forming the second fitted portion 21 of the other side bathtub 10b. The projecting portion 37 is inserted into the recess of the second fitted portion 21 defined by the vertical plate portion 16, the horizontal portion 17, and the extending portion 19 of the other side bathtub 10b. In this case, the projecting portion 37 abuts on one side surface 17 b (surface) of the horizontal portion 17 .

一方、第３凹部３８は、突出部３７の外側に隣接している。第３凹部３８には、他側浴槽１０ｂの第２被嵌合部２１を構成する延出部１９が挿入される。この場合、第３凹部３８の底部３８ａと延出部１９の先端との間には、隙間Ｓ３が形成される。この隙間Ｓ３は、支持部材３０や浴槽１０の第２被嵌合部２１の製造公差を考慮して形成されている。すなわち、他側嵌合部３６を第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合させたときには、延出部１９と第３凹部３８の底部３８ａとの接触よりも前に、突出部３７と水平部１７とが接触するようになっている。 On the other hand, the third recess 38 is adjacent to the outside of the projecting portion 37 . The extending portion 19 that constitutes the second fitted portion 21 of the other-side bathtub 10b is inserted into the third concave portion 38 . In this case, a gap S<b>3 is formed between the bottom portion 38 a of the third recess portion 38 and the tip of the extension portion 19 . This gap S3 is formed in consideration of manufacturing tolerances of the support member 30 and the second fitted portion 21 of the bathtub 10 . That is, when the other-side fitting portion 36 is fitted to the second fitted portion 21, the projecting portion 37 and the horizontal portion 17 are separated from each other before the contact between the extending portion 19 and the bottom portion 38a of the third recess portion 38. is in contact with the

突出部３７の幅寸法（内側から外側までの寸法）は、延出部１９の先端と対向する底部３８ａ部分よりも大きくなっている。従って、他側嵌合部３６にかかる他側浴槽１０ｂの荷重は、突出部３７と水平部１７との広い接触面積で受けている。一方、支持部材３０は、第３凹部３８に第２被嵌合部２１の延出部１９が嵌合することにより、浴槽１０に風などの外力が加わっても簡単に抜けないようになっている。従って、支持部材３０は、複数個の浴槽１０を安定して支持することができる。 The width dimension (the dimension from the inside to the outside) of the projecting portion 37 is larger than the portion of the bottom portion 38 a facing the tip of the extending portion 19 . Therefore, the load of the other side bathtub 10b applied to the other side fitting portion 36 is received by the wide contact area between the projecting portion 37 and the horizontal portion 17. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, the extension 19 of the second fitted portion 21 fits into the third recess 38 of the support member 30, so that the support member 30 does not easily come off even if an external force such as wind is applied to the bathtub 10. there is Therefore, the support member 30 can stably support a plurality of bathtubs 10 .

また、他側嵌合部３６は、浴槽１０を浴室Ｒに配設したときに浴室壁２００が挿入される第２被嵌合部２１としての壁載せ凹部に嵌合する。すなわち、他側嵌合部３６の突出部３７は、他側浴槽１０ｂの壁載せ凹部に挿入される。従って、支持部材３０は、既存の浴槽１０に形成されている壁載せ凹部を用いて複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねることができる。 Further, the other-side fitting portion 36 fits into a wall-mounting recess serving as a second fitted portion 21 into which the bathroom wall 200 is inserted when the bathtub 10 is installed in the bathroom R. That is, the projecting portion 37 of the other-side fitting portion 36 is inserted into the wall mounting recess of the other-side bathtub 10b. Therefore, the support member 30 can stack a plurality of bathtubs 10 using wall mounting recesses formed in existing bathtubs 10 .

ここで、図３に示すように、支持部材３０と支持部材３０の下方に位置する他の支持部材３０ａとの間には、隙間Ｓ４が形成される。すなわち、支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２は、一側浴槽１０ａの第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合した状態で、一側浴槽１０ａの第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合する他の支持部材３０ａの他側嵌合部３６に干渉しないようになっている。具体的には、支持部材３０の第２凹部３４を構成する側壁部３４ｂと、他の支持部材３０ａの第３凹部３８を構成する側壁部３８ｂとの間に隙間Ｓ４が形成される。 Here, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap S4 is formed between the support member 30 and another support member 30a positioned below the support member 30. As shown in FIG. That is, the one-side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 fits into the second fitted portion 21 of the one-side bathtub 10a while being fitted into the first fitted portion 20 of the one-side bathtub 10a. , so as not to interfere with the other side fitting portion 36 of the support member 30a. Specifically, a gap S4 is formed between the side wall portion 34b forming the second recess portion 34 of the support member 30 and the side wall portion 38b forming the third recess portion 38 of the other support member 30a.

これにより、複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねる場合に、支持部材３０を浴槽１０を挟んで上下方向に直線的に配設することができる。従って、上下方向に位置する支持部材３０が互いに干渉して支持部材３０ががたつくのを抑制することができる。その結果、支持部材３０は、複数個の浴槽１０を安定して支持することができる。 As a result, when stacking a plurality of bathtubs 10, the support members 30 can be arranged linearly in the vertical direction with the bathtubs 10 interposed therebetween. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the supporting members 30 positioned in the vertical direction from interfering with each other and rattling the supporting members 30 . As a result, the support member 30 can stably support a plurality of bathtubs 10 .

日よけ部３９は、本体部３１から外側に向けて突出している。日よけ部３９は、本体部３１が一側浴槽１０ａ（一側部材）と他側浴槽１０ｂ（他側部材）との間に配設された状態で、一側浴槽１０ａおよび他側浴槽１０ｂよりも外側に位置して本体部３１を覆っている。日よけ部３９は、例えば本体部３１に一体形成されており、一側嵌合部３２の側壁部３４ｂと他側嵌合部３６の側壁部３８ｂとの間を延びている。 The shade portion 39 protrudes outward from the body portion 31 . The awning portion 39 is provided between the one-side bathtub 10a (one-side member) and the other-side bathtub 10b (the other-side member) while the body portion 31 is disposed between the one-side bathtub 10a (one-side member) and the other-side bathtub 10b (the other-side member). , and covers the body portion 31. The shade portion 39 is formed integrally with the body portion 31, for example, and extends between the side wall portion 34b of the one-side fitting portion 32 and the side wall portion 38b of the other-side fitting portion 36. As shown in FIG.

日よけ部３９は、本体部３１を太陽光から保護することにより、本体部３１の劣化を抑制している。これにより、本体部３１の厚みを薄くしても寿命を向上できる。また、日よけ部３９は、例えば樹脂材料により形成された場合には太陽光が照射されることによる劣化具合が色の変化で現れる。従って、作業者は、日よけ部３９の色の変化を確認して、支持部材３０の交換時期を把握することができる。 The awning part 39 suppresses deterioration of the main body part 31 by protecting the main body part 31 from sunlight. As a result, even if the thickness of the body portion 31 is reduced, the life can be improved. Further, when the awning portion 39 is made of, for example, a resin material, the degree of deterioration due to exposure to sunlight appears as a change in color. Therefore, the operator can confirm the change in color of the awning part 39 and know when to replace the support member 30 .

本発明の実施形態による支持部材および浴槽段積み構造は、上述の如き構成を有するもので、次に支持部材３０を用いて複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねる作業（段積み作業）について説明する。 The supporting member and the bathtub stacking structure according to the embodiment of the present invention have the configuration as described above. Next, the work of stacking a plurality of bathtubs 10 using the supporting member 30 (stacking work) will be described.

図５は、浴室に設置された浴槽の第２被嵌合部に浴室壁が挿入された状態を示す斜視図である。
まず、浴槽１０の周縁部１５は、表面１５ｂ側から裏面１５ａ側に凹む第２被嵌合部２１を有している。この第２被嵌合部２１は、浴室壁２００が挿入される壁載せ凹部となっている。図５に示す例では、浴槽１０の周縁部１５のうち、洗い場Ｒ１側の一辺以外の三辺に第２被嵌合部２１が設けられている。そして、浴槽１０の周縁部１５は、第２被嵌合部２１の裏面側に第１被嵌合部２０を有している。第１被嵌合部２０と第２被嵌合部２１とは、浴槽１０の外側端部に形成されている。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the bathroom wall is inserted into the second fitted portion of the bathtub installed in the bathroom.
First, the peripheral portion 15 of the bathtub 10 has a second fitted portion 21 recessed from the front surface 15b side to the back surface 15a side. The second fitted portion 21 serves as a wall mounting recess into which the bathroom wall 200 is inserted. In the example shown in FIG. 5, of the peripheral edge portion 15 of the bathtub 10, the second fitted portion 21 is provided on three sides other than the one side on the washing place R1 side. The peripheral portion 15 of the bathtub 10 has the first fitted portion 20 on the back side of the second fitted portion 21 . The first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 are formed at the outer end portion of the bathtub 10 .

このような浴槽１０は、工場や倉庫などでは上下方向に積み重ねて保管されている。上述した従来技術では、浴槽の上端側に開口を覆う上キャップを設けるとともに、下端側に底キャップを設けて複数の浴槽を積み上げ、バンドによって複数の浴槽を結束している。しかし、複数の浴槽を積み重ねていくと高さが高くなってしまうので、多くの浴槽を積み重ねることが困難になる虞がある。そこで、一方の浴槽を他方の浴槽の内部に挿入して積み重ねていくことが考えられる。しかし、このような場合には、浴槽同士が接触して傷が付く虞がある。 Such bathtubs 10 are stacked vertically and stored in factories, warehouses, and the like. In the conventional technology described above, a top cap is provided to cover the opening on the upper end side of the bathtub, and a bottom cap is provided on the lower end side of the bathtub, a plurality of bathtubs are stacked, and the plurality of bathtubs are bound by a band. However, stacking a plurality of bathtubs increases the height, which may make it difficult to stack many bathtubs. Therefore, it is conceivable to stack one bathtub by inserting it into the other. However, in such a case, the bathtubs may come into contact with each other and be damaged.

そこで、本実施形態では、複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねる場合に、上下の浴槽１０が互いに接触することなく所定の隙間をもって各浴槽１０を支持することができる支持部材３０を有している。この支持部材３０は、浴槽１０の端部（周縁部１５）に形成された第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合することにより複数個の浴槽１０を支持する。図１に示す例では、パレット１００上に浴槽１０を底面部１２を上側にした状態で積み重ねている。また、図１に示す例では、浴槽１０の背側の周縁部１５と足側の周縁部１５にそれぞれ２個（合計４個、３個のみ図示）の支持部材３０を配設して複数個の浴槽１０を支持している。 Therefore, in this embodiment, when a plurality of bathtubs 10 are stacked, the supporting members 30 are provided so that the upper and lower bathtubs 10 can be supported with a predetermined gap without contacting each other. The support member 30 supports a plurality of bathtubs 10 by fitting into the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 formed at the end (peripheral edge portion 15 ) of the bathtub 10 . In the example shown in FIG. 1, the bathtubs 10 are stacked on the pallet 100 with the bottom portion 12 facing upward. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 1, two support members 30 (four in total, only three are shown) are provided on the peripheral edge 15 on the back side and the peripheral edge 15 on the foot side of the bathtub 10, respectively. of the bathtub 10.

下側に位置する一側浴槽１０ａの上方に他側浴槽１０ｂを積み重ねる場合には、まず支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２を一側浴槽１０ａの第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合させる。これにより、支持部材３０を一側浴槽１０ａの第１被嵌合部２０から上方に向けて立設させることができる。 When stacking the other side bathtub 10b above the one side bathtub 10a positioned on the lower side, first, the one side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 is fitted to the first fitted portion 20 of the one side bathtub 10a. . As a result, the support member 30 can be erected upward from the first fitted portion 20 of the one-side bathtub 10a.

第１被嵌合部２０は、浴槽１０の端部に設けられているので、支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２を簡単に嵌め込むことができる。また、支持部材３０は、内部に空洞３１ａを有することにより可及的に軽量化されているので、例えば高い位置に浴槽１０を積み上げるときの作業の作業性を向上できる。さらに、支持部材３０は、一側嵌合部３２が第１被嵌合部２０に嵌め込まれるので、支持部材３０が第１被嵌合部２０から抜け落ちたり、ずれたりするのを抑制できる。 Since the first fitted portion 20 is provided at the end of the bathtub 10, the one side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 can be easily fitted. In addition, since the support member 30 has the cavity 31a inside, it is made as light as possible, so that the workability when stacking the bathtub 10 at a high position can be improved. Furthermore, since the one-side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 is fitted into the first fitted portion 20 , it is possible to prevent the support member 30 from slipping off or shifting from the first fitted portion 20 .

次に、他側浴槽１０ｂを一側浴槽１０ａの上方から被せる。この場合、他側浴槽１０ｂの内部に一側浴槽１０ａの浴槽本体１１の一部が挿入される。そして、他側浴槽１０ｂの第２被嵌合部２１を支持部材３０の他側嵌合部３６に嵌合させる。この場合、各支持部材３０は、一側浴槽１０ａの第１被嵌合部２０から自立している。また、他側浴槽１０ｂの第２被嵌合部２１は、浴槽１０の端部に設けられている。従って、他側浴槽１０ｂの第２被嵌合部２１を支持部材３０の他側嵌合部３６に簡単に嵌め込むことができる。そして、このような作業を順次繰り返し行うことにより、複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねることができる。 Next, the bathtub 10b on the other side is placed over the bathtub 10a on the other side. In this case, part of the bathtub main body 11 of the one-side bathtub 10a is inserted into the inside of the other-side bathtub 10b. Then, the second fitted portion 21 of the other side bathtub 10b is fitted to the other side fitting portion 36 of the support member 30 . In this case, each support member 30 is independent from the first fitted portion 20 of the one-side bathtub 10a. The second fitted portion 21 of the other side bathtub 10b is provided at the end of the bathtub 10. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the second fitted portion 21 of the other side bathtub 10b can be easily fitted into the other side fitting portion 36 of the support member 30. As shown in FIG. A plurality of bathtubs 10 can be stacked by sequentially repeating such operations.

この場合、支持部材３０は、上下に位置する一側浴槽１０ａと他側浴槽１０ｂとが互いに接触しない高さ寸法に設定されている。一例を挙げると、図１、図３に示すように、支持部材３０は、一側嵌合部３２の当接部３５から他側嵌合部３６の突出部３７の先端までの高さ寸法Ｈ１を、浴槽本体１１の底面部１２の下段部１２ａから上段部１２ｂまでの高さ寸法Ｈ２よりも小さく、かつ一側浴槽１０ａと他側浴槽１０ｂとを重ねたときに、一側浴槽１０ａと他側浴槽１０ｂとが接触しないように設定するのが好ましい。これにより、支持部材３０は、上下の浴槽１０の間隔を可及的に小さくすることができるので、多くの浴槽１０を積み重ねることができる。また、他側浴槽１０ｂの浴槽本体１１の内面に一側浴槽１０ａの浴槽本体１１が接触して他側浴槽１０ｂの浴槽本体１１の内面に傷が付くのを抑制できる。これにより、工場や倉庫に多くの浴槽１０を保管することができる。また、一度に多くの浴槽１０を輸送することができるので、輸送効率も向上できる。 In this case, the support member 30 is set to have a height dimension such that the one-side bathtub 10a and the other-side bathtub 10b positioned above and below do not come into contact with each other. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the support member 30 has a height dimension H1 from the contact portion 35 of the one-side fitting portion 32 to the tip of the projecting portion 37 of the other-side fitting portion 36. is smaller than the height dimension H2 from the lower part 12a to the upper part 12b of the bottom part 12 of the bathtub main body 11, and when the one side bathtub 10a and the other side bathtub 10b are overlapped, the one side bathtub 10a and the other side bathtub 10a It is preferable to set so that it does not come into contact with the side bathtub 10b. As a result, the support member 30 can minimize the space between the upper and lower bathtubs 10, so that many bathtubs 10 can be stacked. In addition, it is possible to prevent the inner surface of the bathtub body 11 of the other side bathtub 10b from being damaged due to contact of the bathtub body 11 of the one side bathtub 10a with the inner surface of the bathtub body 11 of the other side bathtub 10b. Thereby, many bathtubs 10 can be stored in factories and warehouses. Moreover, since many bathtubs 10 can be transported at once, transportation efficiency can also be improved.

また、浴槽１０の第１被嵌合部２０と第２被嵌合部２１とは、浴槽１０の周縁部１５に上下方向に対向して設けられている。すなわち、第１被嵌合部２０は、周縁部１５の裏面１５ａ側に設けられている。一方、第２被嵌合部２１は、周縁部１５の表面１５ｂ側に設けられている。 Further, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 of the bathtub 10 are provided to face the peripheral edge portion 15 of the bathtub 10 in the vertical direction. That is, the first fitted portion 20 is provided on the back surface 15a side of the peripheral portion 15 . On the other hand, the second fitted portion 21 is provided on the surface 15 b side of the peripheral portion 15 .

そして、第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合する支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２は、下方に位置して、第２被嵌合部２１に嵌合する他の支持部材３０ａの他側嵌合部３６と干渉しないようになっている。すなわち、上側に位置する支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２の側壁部３４ｂと、下側に位置する他の支持部材３０ａの他側嵌合部３６の側壁部３８ｂとの間には、隙間Ｓ４が形成される。これにより、支持部材３０の一側嵌合部３２を第１被嵌合部２０に嵌合させたときに、支持部材３０が下側に位置する他の支持部材３０ａに接触して不安定になるのを抑制することができる。 One side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 that fits into the first fitted portion 20 is positioned below, and the other side of another support member 30a that fits into the second fitted portion 21 . It is designed not to interfere with the fitting portion 36 . That is, there is a gap between the side wall portion 34b of the one side fitting portion 32 of the supporting member 30 located above and the side wall portion 38b of the other side fitting portion 36 of the other supporting member 30a located on the lower side. S4 is formed. As a result, when the one-side fitting portion 32 of the support member 30 is fitted to the first fitted portion 20, the support member 30 comes into contact with the other support member 30a located on the lower side and becomes unstable. can be prevented from becoming

また、複数個の浴槽１０を積み重ねるときには、支持部材３０を上下方向に一直線状に配設させることができる。ここで、例えば上下に配置される支持部材３０が干渉してしまう場合には、各支持部材３０を互いにずらしながら上下方向に配設しなければならない。このような場合には、上側に位置する支持部材３０が水平部１７を下方に押圧することになるので水平部１７が歪む虞がある。水平部１７は、第２被嵌合部２１からなる壁載せ凹部を構成している。従って、水平部１７が歪んだ場合には、浴槽１０を浴室Ｒに設置して浴室壁２００を第２被嵌合部２１に挿入するときの作業の作業性が困難になる虞がある。 Further, when stacking a plurality of bathtubs 10, the support members 30 can be arranged in a straight line in the vertical direction. Here, for example, when the support members 30 arranged vertically interfere with each other, the support members 30 must be arranged in the vertical direction while being shifted from each other. In such a case, the upper support member 30 presses the horizontal portion 17 downward, and the horizontal portion 17 may be distorted. The horizontal portion 17 constitutes a wall-mounted concave portion made up of the second fitted portion 21 . Therefore, if the horizontal portion 17 is distorted, there is a possibility that the workability of installing the bathtub 10 in the bathroom R and inserting the bathroom wall 200 into the second fitted portion 21 may become difficult.

しかし、本実施形態による支持部材３０は、上下方向に一直線状に配設させることができる。従って、下側に位置する他の支持部材３０ａは、他側嵌合部３６の突出部３７が水平部１７を介して上側に位置する支持部材３０を支持することができる。換言すると、積み重ねられた複数個の浴槽１０の荷重を支持部材３０を介して一直線状にパレット１００に伝えることができるので、各浴槽１０にかかる負荷を低減させることができる。従って、支持部材３０は、多くの浴槽１０を積み重ねた場合でも、水平部１７が歪むのを抑制させることができる。また、第１被嵌合部２０と第２被嵌合部２１とは、浴槽１０の周縁部１５の端部に設けられている。従って、各支持部材３０を上下方向に一直線状に配設させるときの位置決めを簡単に行うことができる。 However, the support members 30 according to this embodiment can be arranged in a straight line in the vertical direction. Therefore, the other support member 30 a located on the lower side can support the support member 30 located on the upper side through the horizontal portion 17 with the projecting portion 37 of the other fitting portion 36 . In other words, the load of a plurality of stacked bathtubs 10 can be linearly transmitted to the pallet 100 via the support member 30, so the load applied to each bathtub 10 can be reduced. Therefore, the support member 30 can suppress the distortion of the horizontal portion 17 even when many bathtubs 10 are stacked. In addition, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 are provided at the ends of the peripheral portion 15 of the bathtub 10 . Therefore, it is possible to easily position the support members 30 when arranging them in a straight line in the vertical direction.

また、支持部材３０が嵌合する第２被嵌合部２１は、浴室壁２００が挿入される壁載せ凹部となっている。また、第１被嵌合部２０は、第２被嵌合部２１と対向している。従って、既存の浴槽１０に特別な変更を施すことなく、簡単に支持部材３０を嵌合させることができる。また、浴槽１０の第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１は、浴槽１０が浴室Ｒに配設された場合に、浴室壁２００により入浴者が視認できない箇所となっている。 The second fitted portion 21 to which the support member 30 is fitted is a wall mounting recess into which the bathroom wall 200 is inserted. The first fitted portion 20 faces the second fitted portion 21 . Therefore, the support member 30 can be easily fitted into the existing bathtub 10 without any special modification. Further, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 of the bathtub 10 are not visible to the bather due to the bathroom wall 200 when the bathtub 10 is installed in the bathroom R.

すなわち、第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１は、浴槽本体１１に比べて傷に対する影響が小さい部分である。換言すると、第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１は、多少の傷がついても浴槽１０の商品価値に影響しない部分である。従って、支持部材３０を第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１に嵌め込むときに、第１被嵌合部２０および第２被嵌合部２１に傷が付くのを抑制するための養生を特別に施す必要がない。その結果、浴槽１０を積み重ねる作業の作業性を向上できるとともに、コストを削減することができる。 That is, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 are portions that are less susceptible to scratches than the bathtub body 11 . In other words, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 are portions that do not affect the commercial value of the bathtub 10 even if they are damaged to some extent. Therefore, when the support member 30 is fitted into the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21, the first fitted portion 20 and the second fitted portion 21 are prevented from being damaged. There is no need to take special care for As a result, the workability of stacking the bathtubs 10 can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.

また、支持部材３０は、浴槽１０の端部に嵌合されるので、例えば周縁部１５の面形状を自由に変化させることができる。従って、支持部材３０は、例えば周縁部１５が湾曲面を有していたり、リブ２２を有していても影響を受けることなく、多くの浴槽１０を積み重ねることができる。 Further, since the support member 30 is fitted to the end of the bathtub 10, the surface shape of the peripheral edge 15 can be freely changed, for example. Therefore, many bathtubs 10 can be stacked without being affected even if the support member 30 has, for example, a curved peripheral edge 15 or ribs 22 .

また、支持部材３０は、本体部３１から突出する日よけ部３９を備えている。これにより、本体部３１が太陽光にあたるのを抑制することができるので、本体部３１の劣化を抑制することができる。その結果、支持部材３０の寿命を向上できる。また、作業者は、日よけ部３９の劣化具合を確認することにより、支持部材３０の交換時期を把握することができる。 The support member 30 also includes a shade portion 39 projecting from the body portion 31 . As a result, it is possible to prevent the body portion 31 from being exposed to the sunlight, so that deterioration of the body portion 31 can be suppressed. As a result, the life of the support member 30 can be improved. Further, the worker can grasp the replacement timing of the support member 30 by confirming the degree of deterioration of the awning portion 39 .
