BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom equipped with a bubble-generating bathtub.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a specific example of a bathroom unit incorporating a bubble-generating bathtub, a bathtub body is disposed along one side wall within the bathroom unit. Further, a jet nozzle connected to a circulation pump is provided on the side wall of the bathtub body, and a jet flow mixed with air bubbles is generated from the nozzle.

[0003]Furthermore, the other side wall of the bathroom unit is provided with a counter having a counter, etc., and a circulation pump that forms a jet stream is installed in the space inside the counter, and the circulation pump is installed inside the bathroom unit. We are trying to make it more compact by storing it. Furthermore, since the counter inside the bathroom unit is formed into a long and narrow shape, the washing area inside the bathroom unit is widened.

0004

However, the above bathroom unit has the following drawbacks.

[0005] In other words, some bathroom units have a wash basin, toilet bowl, etc. installed inside the counter instead of a counter with a counter, but in this case, space must be secured to install the circulation pump for the bubble generating bathtub. I couldn't. For this reason, when a storage section is provided in the bathing space in the bathroom unit, there is a problem in that the bathing space in the bathroom unit is narrowed as a result.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides, in the bathroom,
In a bathroom equipped with a bubble-generating bathtub, a toilet bowl or a washstand having a water storage tank, a storage space is provided below the water storage tank of the toilet, and a circulation pump for the bubble-generating bathtub is arranged in the same space. This relates to a bathroom equipped with a bubble-generating bathtub.

[0007] Furthermore, the present invention provides a bathroom unit with a bubble-generating bathtub, a toilet bowl or a washstand having a water storage tank, and a storage space provided below the water storage tank of the toilet.
A unique feature is that a circulation pump for the bubble-generating bathtub is installed in the same space.

[0008]

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, in a bathroom equipped with a bubble-generating bathtub, a toilet bowl, or a washstand, a circulation pump for the bubble-generating bathtub is installed in a storage space provided below the water storage tank of the toilet bowl. The free space of the unit can be maximized and the bathing experience of the bather can be enhanced. Furthermore, by utilizing the space below the water storage tank provided behind the toilet bowl, the circulation pump can be easily stored.
