【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The shower device shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention, in which a flexible shower hose 3 is wound around a rotatable hose reel 2 provided near an outer surface of a bath body 1. The shower head 4 connected to the tip of the shower hose 3 on the water outlet side can be attached to a support 5 standing on the upper edge surface of the bath body 1 on the hose reel 2 side. It consists of

Outside the hose reel 2 provided in the vicinity of the bath body 1, a plate-like apron 6 attached to the lower end of the outer periphery of the upper edge of the bath body 1 and hanging downwardly. It is positioned so that the hose reel 2 is not directly visible. The hose reel 2 is housed in a case 9, and the case 9 is attached to the bath body 1. A shower hose 3 is wound around the hose reel 2. The end of the shower hose 3 on the winding side is connected to the water taps 7, 7 provided on the upper edge surface of the bath body 1, The end on the unwinding side is pulled out upward from an insertion opening 8 provided in the upper edge surface of the bathtub body 1 and connected to the shower head 4. The hose reel 2 is automatically rotated in the winding direction by a spiral spring provided in the hose reel 2.

Further, the upper edge surface of the bathtub body 1 on the hose reel 2 side has a width dimension larger than the other upper edge surfaces, and the shower hose 3 has hot water or water on the upper edge surface. Provided are water taps 7 and 7 for adjusting the amount, an insertion opening 8 for the shower hose 3, and a long support tool 5 having a support piece 5a for holding and holding the shower head 4 at an arbitrary angle at the upper end. There is. It should be noted that the shower head 4 can be engaged and held at an arbitrary angle by inserting the connection portion of the shower head 4 with the shower hose 3 into the upper portion of the insertion opening 8. When the water is supplied toward, the water can be discharged into the bathtub body 1. In addition, the support piece 5a provided on the upper end of the support tool 5 projecting upward from the upper edge surface on the hose reel 2 side of the bathtub body 1 is an opening through which the shower hose 3 can enter and exit. The shower head 4 has a substantially cylindrical shape with a portion formed therein, and the shower head 4 can be fixedly held at an arbitrary angle by inserting the connection portion of the shower head 4 with the shower hose 3 into the support piece 5a. You can do it. Moreover, when the water is discharged while the spout of the shower head 4 is directed toward the washing area and is held by the support piece 5a of the support piece 5a, the body is positioned near the head of a normal height where the user is sitting and washing the body. The height dimensions are such that

When using such a shower device, first, the water taps 7, 7 are opened and the hot water discharged from the spout of the shower head 4 is adjusted to a desired hot water temperature and hot water amount. Next, the shower head 4 is attached to the insertion opening 8 or the support 5 so that hot water is discharged in a desired direction, or the shower head 4 attached to the insertion opening 8 or the support 5 is used. Remove the shower hose 3 and rotate the hose reel 2, unwind the shower hose 3 wound around the hose reel 2 and pull it out, and then bring the shower head 4 to a desired location by hand and spout hot water. And use it. After use, the water taps 7 and 7 are closed to stop the hot water flowing from the water outlet of the shower head 4, and then the shower head 4 is attached to the insertion opening 8 or the support piece 5a of the support 5. At this time, the shower hose 3 pulled out from the hose reel 2 is wound by the rotation of the hose reel 2 in the winding direction. When water is supplied into the bathtub body 1, the shower head 4 is attached to the insertion opening 8 or the support 5 with the water outlet facing the inside of the bathtub body 1, and the water tap 7 is opened.

In the above embodiment, since the shower hose 3 is wound around the hose reel 2, there is an effect that even a long shower hose 3 can be wound up neatly without getting tangled. is there.

Further, in the above embodiment, since the hose reel 2 is provided between the bath body 1 and the apron 6, there is an effect that the hose reel 2 cannot be seen and the appearance is not spoiled.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rewind side end of the shower hose 3 wound around the hose reel 2 is pulled out upward from the insertion opening 8 on the upper edge surface of the bath body 1. Since the shower hose 3 is connected to the shower head 4, the shower hose 3 is not visible when the connection portion of the shower head 4 with the shower hose 3 is inserted and held in the upper portion of the insertion opening 8 so that the shower hose 3 is sleek and aesthetically pleasing. Even when the connecting portion of the shower head 4 with the shower hose 3 is inserted into the supporting piece 5a of the supporting tool 5 and held in a fixed state, only a part of the shower hose 3 is visible, so that the appearance is good.

In the above embodiment, the support tool 5 is integrally provided so as to project upward from the upper edge surface of the bath body 1 on the hose reel 2 side, but the support tool 5 is provided as a separate body. It may be detachably provided on the upper edge surface or the inner side surface so as to project upward. Further, although the supporting tool 5 is long, the supporting tool 5 may be short.

In the above embodiment, the shower hose 3 is wound around the hose reel 2 provided near the outer surface of the bath body 1, but the shower hose 3 is located near the outer surface of the bath body 1. The shower hose 3 may be housed in a storage box provided on the outside or the space on the outer side surface of the bathtub body 1.

In the above embodiment, a separate apron 6 is vertically provided at the outer peripheral lower end of the upper edge of the bath body 1, but the apron 6 is integrally provided at the outer peripheral lower end of the upper edge of the bath body 1. It is okay.
