Abstract

PURPOSE:To install an air pump in a position in which it does not stand in the way, and to facilitate piping even if the air pump is attached onto a ceiling of a bathroom. CONSTITUTION:An air pump 3 is installed on a ceiling panel 6 of a bathroom. At the time of building in the ceiling panel 6 and a wall panel 7, a hard panel side conduit line 5a extending from the air pump 3 to the vicinity of the lower end of the wall panel 7 is assembled. A bathtub 1 in which a hard bathtub side conduit line 5b extending from the vicinity of the lower end of the wall panel 7 to an air injection port is subjected to piping advance is installed. By stretching out a hand from an inspection port 10 provided on a wainscot wall 9 of a floor panel 8, an end part of the panel side conduit line 5a and an end part of a bathroom side conduit line 5b are connected by a flexible connecting tube 5c.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bubble generator-equipped bath having a function of generating bubbles, and more particularly to a structure used for a pipe for supplying air for generating bubbles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a bath with an air bubble generator is formed by providing an air injection port for injecting bubbles on the bottom surface of the bath and supplying air from an air pump to an air injection port through an air supply line. There is.

[0003]

By the way, an air pump for supplying air is often installed near the bathtub. However, if the air pump is placed near the bathtub, the air pump occupies a large area and occupies a large area. There is a problem in that it is necessary and that the size of the bathtub is restricted. When the air pump is installed on the ceiling of the bathroom, it does not take up much space, but there is a problem that the piping of the air supply pipeline is difficult.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to install an air pump so that it does not get in the way, and even if the air pump is mounted on the ceiling of a bathroom, piping It is to provide a bathtub with an air bubble generator which can be easily operated.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the bathtub with a bubble generating device of the present invention is provided with an air injection port 2 for injecting bubbles on the bottom surface of the bath 1, and air is supplied from the air pump 3 to the air injection port 2. In the case where air is supplied through the supply pipeline 5, the air pump 3 is installed on the ceiling panel 6 of the bathroom, and the hard pipe is attached along the outer surface of the ceiling panel 6 or the wall panel 7 of the bathroom. A hard panel side conduit 5a extending from the air pump 3 to the vicinity of the lower end of the wall panel 7 is formed, and a hard pipe is attached along the outer surface of the bathtub 1 so as to reach the air injection port 2 from the vicinity of the lower end of the wall panel 7. An inspection port 10 for inspecting the bathtub 1 is provided in the waist wall 9 of the floor pan 8 in the vicinity of the lower end of the panel side pipe 5a, and the inspection side 10 of the panel side pipe 5a is formed in the vicinity of the inspection port 10. Edge and bath Characterized in that formed by connecting an end portion of the side pipe 5b at flexible connection tube 5c.

[0006]

By installing the air pump 3 on the ceiling panel 6, the air pump 3 can be installed at a position where it does not interfere with the installation of the bathtub 1. In addition, for the piping of the air supply pipeline 5, the panel side pipeline 5a is pipelined while the ceiling panel 6 and the wall panel 7 are installed, while the bathtub 1 is installed with the bathroom side pipeline 5b attached to the bathtub 1 in advance. ,
Thereafter, an operator in the bathroom puts his / her hand out through the inspection port 10 and uses the flexible connecting tube 5c to connect the panel side conduit 3a.
Can be connected to the air supply pipeline 5b. As a result, the air supply pipeline 5 can be easily installed from the ceiling of the bathroom to the bathtub 1.
