Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a bathtub mounting structure that can accommodate changes in the dimensions of the bathtub in a unit bath in which the bathtub is directly installed on the floor pan.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional mounting structure of this type of bathtub is shown in the plan view of FIG. 7 and the vertical sectional view of FIG. 8. As shown in the figure, the unit bus 1 is usually
A tile panel 5 is erected on a step 4 of an upstanding wall 3 formed around the periphery of a floor pan 2, and a ceiling panel 6 is attached to it to construct an outer shell. Said floor pan 2
has an installation part 2a for the bathtub 7 and a washing area 2b,
Both are separated by embankment 8. To install the bathtub 7, attach the bathtub 7 to the tile panel 5 as a side wall surface.
It is placed on the floor pan 2 with the hanging portion 7b of the upper edge surface 7a in contact with it. A caulking material is filled between the bathtub 7 and the tile panel 5 to provide watertightness. Further, on the washing area 2b side of the bathtub 7, an apron 9 is attached between the hanging part 7b of the upper edge surface 7a of the bathtub and the bank 8 of the floor pan 2.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional mounting structure for the bathtub 7, the bathtub 7 is placed in contact with the tile panel 5 as the side wall surface of the unit bath 1, and it is also difficult to change the mounting position of the apron 9. Even if there was a request to change to a larger bathtub than the existing bathtub, we were unable to accommodate this request. Therefore, the only thing that could be done was to replace the bathtub 7 with one of the same dimensions as the one used last time. In other words, in the conventional mounting structure for the bathtub 7, the dimensions of the bathtub 7 are uniform, and the structure lacks versatility.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention improves and eliminates the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to provide a bathtub mounting structure in a unit bath that allows the size of the bathtub to be freely changed.

The feature of the mounting structure adopted by the present invention in order to solve the above problem is that a tile panel is erected on the periphery of the floor pan that has the bathtub installation part and the washing area. An apron is erected at the boundary between the bathtub installation part and the washing area, and a frame for supporting the bathtub is horizontally and removably attached to the surface of the tile panel and the upper end of the apron,
The bathtub is inserted into the frame, and the lower end of the hanging part formed on the upper edge surface of the bathtub is placed on the upper surface of the frame.

[Effect]

As is clear from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bathtub 16 is connected to the tile panel 5, which is the side wall surface of the unit bath 11, via the frame 12 having the desired width W (see FIG. 3). has been done. Therefore,
If you want to change the bathtub 16 to a larger one, you can use a frame 12 with a smaller width W or remove the frame 12 and attach the bathtub 16. With such a mounting structure for the bathtub 16, the size of the bathtub 16 can be changed freely to meet demand.

〔Example〕

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. Note that the same reference numerals as in the conventional case represent the same members.

1 and 2 show a unit bus 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the entire unit bus 11, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. As shown in the figure, in the unit bath 11 of this embodiment, a frame 12 is horizontally attached to a tile panel 5 serving as a side wall surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame body 12 frames a frame 13 made of lightweight section steel or the like, and has a substrate 14 made of gypsum board, aluminum alloy, etc. on the surface of the two sides of the frame 13 that are in contact with the tile panel 5. is mounted and fixed, and a tile 15 is pasted on the substrate 14. Therefore,
A predetermined width W is formed in a portion of the frame 12 that contacts the tile panel 5. On the other hand, at the boundary between the bathtub installation part 2a of the floor pan 2 and the washing area 2b, a tile apron 18 shown in FIG. 3 is attached between the frame 12 and the bank 8. ing. Similar to the frame body 12, the tile apron 18 has a frame 19 made of lightweight shaped steel or the like with a substrate 20 made of gypsum board, aluminum alloy, etc., and tiles 21 adhered onto the substrate 20.

Next, the procedure for installing the bathtub 16 will be explained.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, a bracket 22 having an L-shaped cross section is attached to the frame 13 on the side of the frame 12 that contacts the tile panel 5, and the bracket 22 is fixed to the tile panel 5 with screws 23 or the like. As shown in FIG. 1, a counter 2 for mounting faucet fittings 24 etc. is placed between the short side of the frame 12 where the frame 13 is exposed and the tile panel 5.
Install 5. On the other hand, for the embankment 8 of the floor pan 2, as shown in FIG. 5, a locking member 26 is fixed,
On the other hand, a hook member 27 corresponding to the locking member 26 is fixed to the frame 19 of the tile apron 18 so that they are engaged with each other, and the lower end side of the tile apron 18 is connected to the embankment 8. As for the portion of the tile apron 18 corresponding to the frame 12, as shown in FIG.
3 from the bottom side, and tile apron 18
The upper end side of the frame body 12 is connected to the upper end side of the frame body 12.

After that, the bathtub 16 is installed. This bathtub 16
To install the bathtub 16, first insert the bathtub 16 into the frame 12, place the bathtub bottom wall 16c on the bathtub installation part 2a of the floor pan 2 via the stand 17, and then place the bathtub bottom wall 16c on the bathtub installation part 2a of the floor pan 2. 16b may be brought into contact with the tiles 15 of the frame body 12 and the tiles 21 of the tile apron 18.

Finally, the joints between the frame 12 and the tile panel 5, the joints between the bathtub 16, the frame 12, and the tile apron 18, etc. may be filled with caulking material and sealed.

With such a mounting structure for the bathtub 16, if it is desired to change the bathtub 16 to a larger one than the existing one, the width W of the frame 12 can be reduced or the frame 12 can be removed. Thereby, the dimensions of the bathtub 16 can be easily changed, and it is possible to meet various demands. In addition, in the above embodiment, the tiles 15 and 21 are attached to the frame 12 and the tile apron 18, creating a sense of luxury and harmony with the tiles attached to the washing area 2b and the tile panel 5. It is possible to create

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the present invention, a frame is horizontally and removably attached to the surface of the tile panel that makes up the side wall of the unit bath and the upper end of the apron, and the bathtub is inserted and installed into this frame. Therefore, when changing the dimensions of the bathtub, the frame body can be replaced with one having an optimal width dimension according to the dimensions of the bathtub. Therefore, it is especially easy to change to a larger bathtub than the existing bathtub, and it is possible to meet all kinds of demands.
