Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a structure for fixing the lower end of an apron when the apron is attached to a bathtub.

[Background Art] Conventionally, when attaching the apron 2 to the bathtub 1, the upper part of the apron 2 is attached to the lower side of the flange portion 3 of the bathtub 1 as shown in FIG. 2, a weir 7 between the bathtub mounting part 5 of the floor pan 4 and the washing area part 6
The mounting bracket 8 can be fixed onto the top with tapping screws 9, and the lower part of the apron 2 can be attached to the mounting bracket 8 with decorative screws 10, or the mounting bracket 8 can be attached to the weir 7 with tapping screws 9 as shown in FIG. A locking protrusion 11 is provided on the
This locking protrusion 11 is connected to the locking hole 1 at the bottom of the apron 2.
2 was locked. However, in any of these conventional examples, it is necessary to secure the mounting fitting 8 to the weir 7 with a tapping screw 9, which takes time and effort to install, and there is a risk that water may leak from the threaded portion of the tapping screw 9. . In addition, as shown in FIG.
Fix with tapping screws 9, etc., and attach the mounting bracket 8.
There is also a method that attaches the lower part of the apron 2 to the tip of the bathtub 1 with decorative screws 10, etc., but with this type, it is necessary to fix the apron 2 downward with the tapping screws 9 near the bottom surface of the bathtub 1, which is very troublesome work. In addition, if there is a weir 7, the weir 7 would get in the way and the threading operation of the tapping screw 9 itself could not be carried out.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose of the present invention is to easily fix the lower end of the apron in a fixed position without using tapping screws as in the past. To provide a fixing structure for an apron of a bathtub, which can prevent water leakage, etc., and can be attached so that the apron does not shake.

[Disclosure of the invention] The fixing structure of the apron of the bathtub of the invention is based on the floor pan 4.
A horizontal piece 23 is provided at the lower end of the apron 2 placed on the outer side of the bathtub placed above, and the horizontal piece 2
A locking piece 26 hangs downward from one side of the floor pan 4, and the horizontal piece 23 is placed on the upper surface of the weir 7 provided between the bathtub mounting part 5 and the washing place part 6 of the floor pan 4.
A locking piece 26 is locked on one side of the horizontal piece 23.
An L-shaped clamping plate 27 is placed on top of the clamping plate 27.
The vertical piece 27a of the holding plate 27 is placed along the inner surface of the apron 2, and the horizontal piece 27b of the holding plate 27 is placed on the horizontal piece 23, and the locking piece 30 hanging downward from the tip of the horizontal piece 27b of the holding plate 27 is It is secured to the other side of the weir 7, and a screw 29 is screwed into the vertical piece 27a of the holding plate 27 from the outer surface of the apron 2 through a long hole 32 provided vertically in the apron 2, as described above. This configuration solves the drawbacks of the conventional example. In other words, by placing the horizontal piece 23 at the lower end of the apron 2 on the weir 7 and locking the locking pieces 26 and 30 on both sides of the weir 7, the fitting part 15 can be simply fitted to the weir 7. The lower end of the apron 2 can be fixed, making it easier to install than conventional methods that use tapping screws, and eliminating the risk of water leakage.
Also, when installing the apron 2, hold the horizontal piece 23 at the lower end of the apron 2 with the clamping plate 27 raised.
is placed on the upper surface of the weir 7, and the locking piece 26 is placed on the weir 7.
, and lower the clamping plate 27 to remove the clamping plate 2.
This can be done by locking the locking piece 30 of No. 7 on the other side of the weir 7 and tightening the screws 29 to fix the clamping plate 27. This can be easily done without raising and lowering the entire apron 2, and the apron can now be reliably attached so that it does not wobble up and down. The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples.

The floor pan 4 is provided with a bathtub mounting part 5 and a washing area 6, and a weir 7 is provided between the bathtub mounting part 5 and the washing area 6.
A drainage groove 17 is provided along this weir 7.
It is recessed. A bathtub is mounted on the bathtub mounting portion 6 of the floor pan 4. A locking piece 26 is suspended from one side of a horizontal piece 23 provided at the lower end of the apron 2,
An L-shaped holding plate 27 is arranged on the horizontal piece 23, and a screw hole 28 is provided in the vertical piece 27a of the holding plate 27.
A screw 29 is screwed into the screw hole 28 through the elongated hole 32 of the apron 2, and a guide protrusion 31 is provided on the inner surface of the apron 2 to guide the vertical movement of the holding plate 27. A locking piece 30 is suspended from the tip of the holding plate 27b. Apron 2
To attach the lower part of the apron, loosen the screws 29, raise the clamping plate 27, place the horizontal piece 23 of the apron 2 on the weir 7, and engage the locking piece 26 on one side of the weir 7. Then, the holding plate 27 is lowered to lock the locking piece 30 on the other side of the weir 7, and the screw tool 29 is tightened. A method for attaching the upper part of the apron 2 is, for example, the method described in the conventional example shown in FIG. Any means may be used to attach the upper part of the apron 2, and there are various conventionally known means.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention provides a horizontal piece at the lower end of the apron, and a locking piece hangs down from one side of the horizontal piece, so that the space between the bathtub mounting part of the floor pan and the washing area is fixed. The above horizontal piece is placed on the top surface of the weir provided at Along with the inner surface of the apron, place the horizontal piece of the clamping plate on the horizontal piece, and lock the locking piece hanging downward from the tip of the horizontal piece of the clamping plate to the other side of the weir. Since a screw is screwed into the vertical piece of the clamping plate from the outside of the apron through a long hole provided in the direction, the horizontal piece at the lower end of the apron is placed on the weir and the locking piece is attached to the weir. The lower end of the apron can be fixed by locking on both sides, making it easier to install than conventional methods that use tapping screws, and does not create holes like those that use tapping screws, making it easy to install. This eliminates the risk of leakage, and when installing the apron, place the horizontal piece at the lower end of the apron on the top of the weir with the clamping plate raised, and also engage the locking piece on one side of the weir. This can be done by lowering the clamping plate, locking the locking piece of the clamping plate to the other side of the weir, and tightening the screws to fix the clamping plate.It is easy to install the apron. This can be easily done without raising and lowering the entire apron as in the conventional style, and it can be securely attached to prevent the apron from shaking up and down.
