Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a technique for installing a pedestal to support the legs of a bathtub. .

0002

[Conventional technology]

When installing a bathtub, generally, in order to have a pedestal with multiple legs, A bundle of concrete blocks is used for each leg. Then, the floor surface on which it will be placed When installing the bathtub on site, in order to eliminate the unevenness of the bathtub and obtain an appropriate water gradient inside the bathtub. Place mortar on top of each pile of stones, and make sure that the legs of the bathtub cover the raised mortar on top of each pile of stones. By hardening the barrel in a crushed state, all legs can be stably placed on the bundle stone. I'm trying to support it.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, when installing a pedestal using the conventional method described above, the legs of the bathtub can be stably attached to the stones. Proper application of mortar is essential for mounting and support. However, Mortar is usually made by hand on site, so its hardness must be adjusted at each site. It is difficult to maintain a constant value. If the mortar is too soft, the bath Before the tub is installed, it may sag due to its own weight and the legs of the tub may not be able to rest on it. Or, even if it is on the floor at the time of construction, it may sag while it hardens, causing the legs to become loose. There may be a gap between the bathtub and the There is a risk that the bathtub will tip. On the other hand, even if the mortar is too hard, it is difficult to The mortar cannot be crushed by its own weight, so the excess mortar must be scraped off. stomach. In the above cases, add missing mortar or remove excess mortar. The work requires a lot of effort as the work is done in an extremely narrow space below the bathtub. Not only does it require a lot of work, but it is also difficult to perform reliably, resulting in an overall reduction in labor. There was a problem in that it was difficult to install the bathtub in a sufficiently stable manner. In view of the above circumstances, the purpose of this invention is to stably install a bathtub with simple work. An object of the present invention is to provide a member for a bathtub mount that enables the following.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

The bathtub mount part of the first invention, which is the first means taken to solve the above problems. The characteristic structure of the material is a frame body for forming a hardening material accommodation space that can accommodate the hardening material. and forming an opening for receiving the legs of the bathtub into the hardening material storage space. In addition, a pipe material for injecting the curable material into the curable material storage space is provided. It's there.

[0005] In addition, a bathtub mount according to the second invention, which is a second means taken to solve the above problem. The characteristic structure of the member is a hardening material storage that can be expanded and contracted up and down and can contain hardening material inside. A mounting part for mounting and supporting the legs of the bathtub and a connection for installation are placed in a sealed container having a space. and a base for injecting a hardenable material into the hardenable material storage space. A pipe material and a discharge hole for discharging residual gas in the hardening material storage space are attached. There is a particular thing.

[0006]

[Effect]

By using the bathtub mount member of the first invention, when installing a bathtub, first, A frame is installed on the floor, and the legs of the bathtub are formed on the frame, suspended and supported at a predetermined height. The hardened material is received in the hardening material storage space in the frame through the opening, and If a hardening material such as mortar or resin is injected into the hardening material storage space, the injected hardening material will be cured. By filling the hardening material storage space with the hardening material, the lower end portions of the legs of the bathtub are covered with the hardening material. The curable material can be embedded in the bathtub as it hardens. Be able to firmly support the legs of Note that the curable material is To determine whether a space is filled, apply a slightly larger amount of curable material than the volume of the space. By injecting, you can visually check the overflow of the curable material from the opening of the frame. It's easy to do. The curable material is then prevented from sagging by the frame, and the tube material is poured into If you close your mouth, there will be no backflow, so even if the curable material is a little soft, you can If the lower end of the bathtub is buried in hardening material, a gap will be created below the legs of the bathtub. Never. You can also accept the legs of the bathtub that have been positioned in advance and insert the legs into the bathtub. Since it is possible to fill the soldering space with hardening material later, it is possible to maintain the appropriate height. Can support the legs of the bathtub. Moreover, since the curable material is injected through the pipe material, it is difficult to If the length is required according to the conditions at the construction site, it is possible to use hardenable materials as mentioned above. Coupled with the fact that it is possible to check whether the bathtub is full or not, it is possible to check whether the bathtub is full or not, and it is possible to check whether the bathtub is overflowing or not. It is possible to install the bathtub without having to get into it at all.

[0007] On the other hand, if the bathtub frame member of the second invention is used, when installing the bathtub, First, install the grounding part of the sealed container on the floor and temporarily suspend the bathtub at a specified height. Support and inject hardenable materials such as mortar and resin into the hardenable material storage space through the pipe material. If the remaining gas is exhausted from the exhaust hole, the injected curable material will fill the curable material storage cavity. By filling the space between the legs, the sealed container extends vertically and its placement part is placed between the legs of the bathtub. Because it can be brought into contact with the bottom, the hardenable material hardens and the bathtub is heated. You will be able to firmly support your legs. Note that the curable material is To determine whether the space has been filled, check if the residual gas in the hardening material storage space has been exhausted from the exhaust hole. After that, you can easily see the curable material overflowing from the drain hole, and then drain it. The sealed container can be expanded by closing the exit hole and injecting more curable material. Whether or not the mounting part has come into contact with the lower end of the bathtub leg depends on the injection pressure during further injection. You can easily tell by the sudden increase in power. The curable material is then prevented from dripping by a sealed container, and the If the injection port is closed, there will be no backflow, so even if the curable material is a little soft, Once the mounting part of the sealed container firmly contacts the bottom edge of the bathtub leg, it will then move downwards towards the bottom of the bathtub. There are no gaps. Also, place the lower part against the legs of the bathtub that have been positioned in advance. From the side, it is possible to adopt a work style in which a sealed container filled with curable material is brought into contact with the container, so it is suitable for Supports the legs of the bathtub at the desired height. Moreover, since the curable material is injected through the pipe material, it is difficult to If the length is required according to the conditions at the construction site, it is possible to use hardenable materials as mentioned above. Coupled with the fact that it is possible to check whether the bathtub is full or not, it is possible to check whether the bathtub is full or not, and it is possible to check whether the bathtub is overflowing or not. It is possible to install the bathtub without having to get into it at all.

[0008]

[Effect of the idea]

Therefore, even if the bathtub frame member of the first invention is used, or Even when using the bathtub frame members of the second invention, in both cases there is no space between the legs of the bathtub. This allows all legs of the bathtub to be reliably supported without the risk of creating gaps. It is possible to avoid the situation of tilting after installation of the , it is also possible to install the bathtub without having to go under the bathtub and do the difficult work. Overall, this is an excellent bathtub rack that can be installed reliably and is easy to work with. We are now able to provide table parts.

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

0010 First, the bathtub mount member of the first invention will be explained.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub mount member of the first invention includes a cylindrical frame 1 and this frame. This is an example of a pipe member that is connected to the peripheral wall of the body 1 and whose inside communicates with the internal space 2 of the frame body 1. It is composed of a vinyl tube 3. The frame 1 is made of, for example, hard vinyl chloride. It is made by cutting a Neil tube. And that it is formed in the cut part. A pair of openings 1A are formed when one of the openings 1A is placed on the floor when the frame 1 is installed on the floor. is closed, and the other side opens upward, allowing the legs B of the bathtub T to be inserted into the inside of the frame 1. It is now accepted into Space 2. Note that this frame 1 should be turned upside down. A similar usage pattern can be adopted.

0012 To explain the installation work of the bathtub T using the above-mentioned bathtub mount member, first, , position the four frames 1 corresponding to the four legs B of the bathtub T at the planned installation location of the bathtub T. let Next, the legs B of the bathtub T are inserted into the internal space of the frame 1 from the upper opening 1A of each frame 1. 2, temporarily fix the bathtub T at the set height. Then vinyl Mortar, which is an example of a hardening material, is introduced into the internal space 2 of the frame 1 through the tube 3. Inject into. Mortar M fills the internal space, that is, the hardening material storage space 2. Then, the legs B of the bathtub T located below the opening 1A in the upper part of the frame 1 It will be buried in mortar M. In that state, connect the injection port of vinyl tube 3. If you close it and wait for the mortar M to harden, the legs B of the bathtub T will be covered with the hardened mortar M. It can be placed securely and firmly supported. This state is shown in FIG.

[0013] It should be noted that the fact that the legs B of the bathtub T were definitely buried in the mortar is due to the injected mortar. Visually confirm that M overflows from the top after filling the hardening material storage space 2 of the frame 1 You can check by doing this.

[0014] In this way, the legs B of the bathtub T can be reliably placed and supported on the mortar, and only Also, the mortar is poured from a place away from the bathtub T via the vinyl tube 3. This eliminates the need to work in the narrow space below the bathtub T, creating a stable bathtub. This makes it possible to support the T with good work efficiency.

[0015] Note that the frame 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned vinyl chloride pipe, and may be made of other materials. It doesn't matter, and the shape can be a rectangular cylinder, or it can have a bottom. Good too. In addition, as the pipe material 3, a flexible material such as a vinyl tube is used. Instead, it may be a rigid pipe, and the material does not matter. Curable material M In addition to mortar, it may be made of resin, etc., and in addition to air hardening, it can be It does not matter if it is cured by heat or heating, but if it is an ultraviolet curing type, It is preferable that the body 1 is made of a transparent material, and in the case of a thermosetting type, the frame 1 is made of a durable material. Preferably, it is formed from a thermal material.

[0016] Note that the opening 1A may be large enough to accommodate only one leg B of the bathtub T. Alternatively, some of the plurality of legs B may fit together, and further, A plurality of openings 1A may be formed in one frame 1. In extreme cases, all The legs B may be received in the same hardening material storage space 2.

[0017] Next, the bathtub mount member of the second invention will be explained.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 3, the second invented bathtub frame member has flat parts 4A and 4B on the top and bottom. A sealed container 4 having a bellows-shaped peripheral portion, and a lower end of the peripheral wall of the sealed container 4. A first via which is an example of a pipe material connected to the inner space 5 of the sealed container 4 and whose inside communicates with the inner space 5 of the sealed container 4; The Neil tube 6 is also connected to the upper end of the peripheral wall of the sealed container 4. and a second vinyl tube 7 whose inside communicates with the internal space 5 of the tube. .

[0019] To explain the installation work of the bathtub T using this bathtub mount member, first, Position four sealed containers 4 corresponding to the four legs B of the bathtub T at the planned installation location of the bathtub T. let Next, the bathtub T is temporarily fixed at the set height, and the first vinyl tube 6 is Then, mortar M, which is an example of a curable material, is injected into the internal space 5 of the sealed container 4. . As the mortar is filled into the internal space, that is, the hardening material storage space 5. Therefore, the air that is the residual gas in the hardening material storage space 5 is transferred to the second vinyl tube. 7 and is discharged from the discharge hole 7a. Then, mortar M is empty to accommodate hardening material. If the space 5 is filled, the mortar M will overflow from the second vinyl tube 7. Therefore, at that point, close the discharge hole 7a of the second vinyl tube 7 and proceed further. If the mortar M is continued to be injected through the first vinyl tube 6, a sealed container will be formed. The sealed container 4 extends upward so that the bellows-shaped peripheral portion of the sealed container 4 expands. The flat portion 4A of the upper surface comes into contact with the leg B of the bathtub T from below. In that state Close the injection port of the vinyl tube 6 in step 1 and wait for the mortar M to harden. The legs B of the tank T are placed on the flat part of the upper surface of the sealed container 4, that is, on the hardened mortar M. It is securely placed and firmly supported via the placing portion 4A. This state is shown in Figure 4. show.

[0020] It should be noted that the fact that the mounting portion 4A of the sealed container 4 reliably abuts against the legs B of the bathtub T indicates that the sealing When pouring mortar to extend the container 4, the injection pressure increases suddenly, or This can be confirmed by the fact that injection is no longer possible. Furthermore, this condition It is also possible to finely adjust the support height of leg B by continuing to press in mortar from Ru.

[0021] In this way, the legs B of the bathtub T can be reliably placed and supported on the mortar M. Possibly, the mortar is injected away from the bathtub T via the first vinyl tube 6. Since it can be done from anywhere, it is possible to eliminate work in the narrow space below the bathtub T, and it is safe. This makes it possible to support the bathtub T with good workability.

[0022] Note that the sealed container 4 is not limited to the shape and form of the above-mentioned embodiments. do not have. For example, if an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder are slidably fitted tightly together, they can be extended vertically. It is also possible to have a configuration that can be reduced. Also, the material is not a problem. Moreover, as the pipe material 6, Instead of a flexible one like the first vinyl tube mentioned above, a rigid one It may be any type of pipe, and the material does not matter. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second bit Regarding the discharge hole 7a formed in the Neil tube 7, the sealed container 4 must be expanded and contracted. The force required to make the discharge hole 7a If the discharge hole 7 is small, it may be left open all the time, in which case the discharge hole 7 It is also possible to provide a at the upper end of the sealed container 4 itself. The curable material M is In addition to mortar, it may be made of resin, etc., and in addition to air hardening, it can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays or processed. It does not matter if it is cured by heat, but if it is an ultraviolet curing type, it must be sealed in a sealed container. It is preferable that the container 4 is made of a transparent material, and in the case of a thermosetting type, the sealed container 4 is made of a transparent material. Preferably, it is formed from a heat resistant material.

[0023] Note that the size of the mounting portion 4A may be such that only one leg B of the bathtub T can be placed on it. Alternatively, some of the plurality of legs B may be placed together. Extreme In some cases, all the legs B may be placed on it at the same time.

[0024] In addition, symbols are written in the claims section of the utility model registration for convenience of comparison with the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the attached drawings.
