Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a bathtub having a counter around the periphery of the bathtub.

[Background Art] In conventional bathtubs made of FRP, only a flange portion was formed around the periphery of the bathtub.
As a result, it lacked luxury in appearance, was weak in strength, and did not fit well at the part connecting the top end of the apron attached to the periphery of the bathtub.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention was made in view of the description, and the purpose of this invention is to have a luxurious appearance,
Moreover, to provide a bathtub with a counter that is strong in strength and can fit and connect the upper end of an apron.

[Disclosure of the invention] The bathtub with a counter of the invention has a flange portion 2 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section on the periphery of a bathtub 1 formed of FRP.
A counter 3 made of a cast product such as artificial marble and having an approximately inverted U-shaped cross section is fitted and glued onto the flange portion 2, and a recess is formed on the inner circumferential side of the flange portion 3. 4, insert the inner peripheral part of the counter 3 into the outer peripheral side of the counter 3, and provide a gap S between the inner surface of the hanging edge 5 on the outer peripheral side of the counter 3 and the outer surface of the hanging piece 6 on the outer peripheral side of the flange part 2. The lower end of the hanging piece 6 of the flange portion 2 is located below the lower end of the flange portion 5, and the drawbacks of the conventional example are solved by configuring as described above. In other words, by fitting and gluing the counter 3 formed by casting into the flange part 2 and having an approximately inverted U-shaped cross section, the appearance becomes luxurious and the strength is improved. Recessed part 4 on the circumferential side
By inserting the inner periphery of the counter 3 into the inner periphery of the counter 3, the inner periphery of the counter 3 and the inner periphery of the bathtub 1 are flush with each other even when the counter 3 is installed, which improves the appearance. By providing a gap S between the inner surface of the hanging edge 5 and the outer surface of the hanging piece 6 on the outer peripheral side of the flange portion 2, the upper end of the apron 7 can be inserted into the gap S and connected well. In addition, by positioning the lower end of the hanging piece 6 of the flange portion 2 below the lower end of the hanging edge 5 of the counter 3, the back hanger 8 for attaching to the wall panel 9 can be locked to the hanging piece 6, and the counter 3 has an extra It is now possible to prevent damage due to the application of excessive force.

The present invention will be explained in detail below using examples.

Bathtub 1 is made of FRP as shown in Figure 2 a, b, c.
The reinforcing plywood 17 is integrally formed with resin on the outer surface and outer bottom surface. A flange portion 2 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section is integrally formed on the periphery of the bathtub 1, and a recess 4 having an L-shaped cross section is provided on the inner periphery of the flange portion 2 over the entire circumference. be. counter 3
As shown in Figure 6 a, b, c, d, the cross section is approximately an inverted U.
It is shaped like a letter and has a rectangular frame-like appearance, and is made of a cast material such as artificial marble. This counter 3 is the second
As shown in Figures a, b, and c, it is fitted over the entire circumference of the flange portion 2 and bonded to the flange portion 2 with an adhesive. The inner circumferential edge of the counter 3 is inserted into the recess 4 of the flange part 2, so that the inner circumferential surface of the counter 3 and the inner circumferential surface of the bathtub 1 are flush with each other. A gap S is formed along the entire circumference between the hanging edge 5 on the outer periphery of the counter 3 and the hanging piece 6 on the outer periphery of the flange portion 2, and the lower end of the hanging piece 6 is lower than the lower end of the hanging edge 5. It stands out. The bathtub with a counter configured in this manner is placed in a bathroom 10 as shown in FIG. 1, with two sides in contact with wall panels 9 and an apron 7 attached to the remaining two sides. The upper end of the apron 7 is inserted into and connected to the gap S between the hanging edge 5 and the hanging piece 6, as shown in FIG. At this time, since the hanging piece 6 protrudes downward, it serves as a guide for inserting the apron 7, making it easy to insert it. On the wall panel 9 side, as shown in FIG.
It is locked by placing the lower end of it. In addition, when connecting to a tile floor with tiles 14 on a tile base 13 as shown in FIG. 5 without using the apron 7, the lower end of the hanging piece 6 is placed on the tile base 13,
A caulking material 15 such as silicone caulk is filled between the lower end of the hanging edge 5 and the tile 14. In this case, waterproofing can be achieved at two locations: the 3 portions of the counter and the 2 portions of the flange portion.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention provides a flange portion with an approximately inverted U-shaped cross section on the periphery of a bathtub made of FRP, and a flange portion with an approximately inverted U-shaped cross section formed with a cast product such as artificial marble.
Since the letter-shaped counter is fitted onto the flange and bonded, the cast counter has a luxurious appearance, and the dual structure of the counter and flange increases its strength. Moreover, since the inner circumferential part of the counter is inserted into the recess formed on the inner circumferential side of the flange part, the inner circumferential surface of the counter and the inner circumferential surface of the bathtub are flush with each other, making it easy to install the counter. Moreover, since there is a gap between the inner surface of the hanging edge on the outer periphery of the counter and the outer surface of the hanging piece on the outer periphery of the flange, there is a gap between the hanging edge and the hanging piece. The apron can be connected by inserting the upper end of the apron into the gap between the two bathtubs, and the apron can be connected in a comfortable manner.Furthermore, since the gap extends around the entire circumference of the bathtub, the apron can be freely attached to any position on the bathtub. Furthermore, since the lower end of the hanging piece of the flange section is positioned below the lower end of the hanging edge of the counter, the hanging piece acts as a guide when inserting the upper end of the apron, making it easier to connect the apron. Not only will it be better, but the bag hanger that is attached to the wall panel can be locked to the hanging piece, so no force is applied to the counter, which is weak, and the counter is not damaged. The bathtub can now be attached to a wall panel with a holder, and it can also be used to fix both an apron and a bag hanger, so one type of bathtub can be used for a variety of purposes.
