In this embodiment, three suction cup devices are provided, and the pump 3 is suctioned and fixed to the edge (upper end surface) 8 of the corner 9 outside the bathtub by stable three-point support as shown in FIG. has been done.

The pump 3 does not necessarily have to be fixed directly to the edge 8 of the bathtub 1, but as shown in FIG.
To be able to fix a bathtub 1 to a corner wall or the like of a bathroom where a bathtub 1 is placed. In this case, for example, a pair of rotatable and length-adjustable support rods 10 and 11 are provided on the upper end surface of the pump 3, and a suction cup 6 is provided at the tip of each of the support rods 10 and 11. Support rods 10 and 1 are installed depending on the angle of the wall surface and the distance to the wall surface.
By adjusting the rotational position and length of the pump 1 and pressing the suction cup 6 against the wall in the adjusted state, the pump 3 will be fixed to the corner wall of the bathroom. Alternatively, it may be fixed to a wall using a hanging tool such as a hook. In addition,
In the figure (in FIG. 1) 13 is a hose for sucking water in the bathtub 1.

Further, a hose 4 as a conduit extends from the lower end of the pump 3 along the inner wall surface of the bathtub 1.
An in-bath jet nozzle 2a is attached to the tip of the hose 4 with its spout orifice oriented approximately at right angles to the wall surface. A suction cup 16 is provided on the back side of this in-bath jet nozzle 2a or at a desired position on the hose 4, so that the in-bath jet nozzle 2a can be placed at any desired position on the inner wall surface of the bathtub.

On the other hand, separate from the bathtub and at an appropriate location outside the bathtub,
In this embodiment, a hot water spouting nozzle 2b is provided on the front wall surface 12 of the pump 3. That is, a holding part 14 in the shape of a lion's face is disposed at the upper part of the front wall surface 12, and a hot water spouting nozzle 2b is accommodated in the lion's mouth with the spout facing diagonally downward. Retained.

Inside the pump 3, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, there is a water suction pipe 17 for hot water and a first water guide pipe 18 that guides the hot water to the in-bath jet nozzle 2a.
A second water conduit 20 is provided that leads the hot water to the hot water spout nozzle 2b (the spout nozzle housed in the lion's mouth of the holding part 14). The water absorption pipe 17 is composed of a pipe 27 fitted into the center hole 26 of the cylindrical body 22 and a hose 13 fitted into the protrusion of the pipe 27,
Further, the first water conduit 18 is constituted by a pipe 30 that is fitted and fixed in the circumferential hole 28 of the cylindrical body 22 and a hose 4 that is fitted into the protrusion of this pipe 30. Furthermore, the second water conduit 20
is constituted by a pipe 32 that is fitted and fixed in another circumferential hole 31 of the cylindrical body 22, and the tip of the pipe 32 has a joint in the hot water passage (not shown) of the pouring hot water jet nozzle 2b. Connected directly via. A pipe switching means 21 is provided at a branch position where the water suction passage 17 is divided into water conduit pipes 18 and 20.

Although an electromagnetic valve or various other configurations can be used as the pipe switching means 21, in this embodiment,
The main members are the cylindrical body 22 fixed to the housing of the pump 3 and the rotating shaft 23 that rotatably fits into the cylindrical body 22. The first water conduit 18 and the second water conduit 20 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

On the other hand, the rotary shaft body 23 has a passage 2 extending halfway in the axial direction from the center of the bottom surface thereof, and further bending at a right angle from the extended end to open on the circumferential surface.
4 is provided. The bottom opening of this passage 24 communicates with the water suction pipe 17 . Further, the tip (upper end) of the rotating shaft body 23 is connected to the pump 3.
It protrudes outward from the housing, and an operating knob 25 is fixed to the protrusion.

Therefore, by rotating this operating knob 25 in a desired direction, the water suction pipe 17 is communicated with either the first water conduit 18 or the second water conduit 20 via the passage 24. Thus, the hot water sucked by the pump 3 can be spouted from either one of the in-bath spout nozzle 2a inside the bathtub and the hot water spout nozzle 2b outside the bathtub according to preference. In this case, a stopper means for regulating the rotational position of the operation knob 25 is provided, and the water suction pipe 17 is stopped at the rotational stop position.
It would be very convenient to use if the water pipes 18 and 20 were automatically communicated with each other.

According to the present embodiment configured as described above, by simply rotating the operation knob 25, it is possible to select either the in-bath jet nozzle 2a or the pouring hot water jet nozzle 2b, and select one of the nozzles from the other nozzle. Since hot water can be squirted out, you can enjoy pine surges in the bath and pine surges in the hot water, which have different stimulations depending on your preference.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the pump 3 is installed directly above the edge 8 of the corner of the bathtub 1 in accordance with the shape of the outer corner of the bathtub 1, or in the bathroom where the bathtub 1 is arranged. Since it can be attached to the corner wall of the bathroom, the so-called dead zone of the bathroom can be utilized. Moreover, since the space in the thickness of the edge 8 of the bathtub 1 can be used as the installation space for the pump 3, the amount that the pump 3 protrudes into the bathtub 1 is much larger than if the pump 3 were installed in a corner of the bathtub. This makes it possible to effectively use the space in the bathtub and bathroom, and has the effect of allowing you to take a relaxing bath.

In the above embodiment, a removable suction cup device is used as a mounting means for the pump 3, but this may be constructed by other removable means, such as a hanging device using bolts or a hook. It's okay,
Further, depending on the case, it may be attached non-removably by welding or the like.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pump 3 is arranged near the bathtub 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it can be placed inside the bathtub 1 (FIG. 8) or in a bathroom away from the bathtub 1. It may be attached to the corner of the In this latter case, the corner of the housing of the pump 3 will be aligned with the corner of the bathroom wall. However, if the pump 3 is placed near the bathtub 1 as in this embodiment, it is convenient that the pump 3 can be operated from inside the bathtub.

Further, in FIG. 1, the holding portion 14 is provided on the housing of the pump 3, but it may be provided on the wall of the bathroom or other suitable location as shown in FIG. 8. Although the shape of the holding part 14 is formed into the three-dimensional face of a lion, it may also be shaped like a three-dimensional shape of a mammal such as a bear, a dog, a tiger, an elephant, a dolphin or a seal, or another animal such as a bird, or a doll, a flower, etc. , the shape is chosen to match the atmosphere of the bathroom. Note that these animals may be drawn as flat pictures and the spouting nozzle 2b for hot water may be placed in the mouth of the animal, but in the embodiment, the holding part 14 is a lion's head because the spouting flow 15
This is to give an impression of its strength.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention provides a bathtub with an in-bath jet nozzle that spouts a jet stream into the bath, and a spout nozzle for pouring hot water outside the bathtub that is separated from the bathtub, and By switching the pipe line from the pump, it is possible to select between bathing pine surge and hot water pine surge.
Since the pine surge in the bath and the pine surge by pouring hot water, which have different stimulations, can be selected depending on the preference of the bather, the hot water (water) pressure pine surge can be effectively obtained. In particular, by using utaseyu, you can perform pine surges on the head, the base of the neck, and shoulders, which are difficult to perform pine surges with in-bath jets, so by using it together with pine surges in baths, you can perform pine surges on any part of the body. This results in unprecedented effects.

In addition, since the piping switching means for switching between the bath jet and the hot water jet is installed in the pump, the piping can be bundled together and the equipment can be streamlined, compared to when it is installed separately from the pump. It can be made more compact.
