Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an apron that decorates the side surface of the bathtub peripheral wall on the side of the washing area.

(Prior art) A bathtub, a floor pan, a wall unit forming a side wall surrounding the floor pan, a ceiling panel stretched over the upper end of the side wall, etc. are carried into an existing building frame. The demand for so-called unit baths, which can be assembled to define a bathroom space, is increasing because they require less preparation on the building frame side in which they are brought in and erected, are easy to work on-site, and are inexpensive.

By the way, some floor pans have a bathtub mounting part and a washing area integrally molded with reinforced plastic, etc. In this case, after the floor pan is installed, the bathtub is carried in and placed on the bathtub mounting part.

Further, the side surface of the surrounding wall of the bathtub facing the washing area is disposed between the upper end of the convex strip formed to partition the washing area of the floor pan and the bathtub mounting part, and the upper edge bent part of the surrounding wall of the bathtub. It is common for makeup to be worn with an apron.

Conventionally, when attaching the upper end of an apron that decorates the surrounding wall of a bathtub, a fitting step is formed at a bent portion of the upper edge of the bathtub surrounding wall, and the upper end of the apron is fitted and fixed into the fitting step.

In addition, the lower end of the apron may be placed on the upper end surface of the protruding strip of the floor pan, or a groove may be formed at the upper end of the protruding strip of the floor pan to open toward the washing area. The lower end was bent toward the bathtub, and the lower end was inserted into the groove from the direction of the washing area and fixed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, if the lower end of the apron is simply placed on the upper end surface of the convex strip of the floor pan, it will be weak against external force from the washing area, and the apron will swing with just a light push. Therefore, there was a problem that it easily came off.

In addition, when grooves are formed at the upper end of the convex groove of the floor pan, the shape of the floor pan becomes complicated, which makes manufacturing the floor pan troublesome, and the lower end of the apron is fitted into the groove from the direction of the washing area. Therefore, it is still vulnerable to external forces from the washing area, and there is a risk of it coming off, for example, due to a reaction force against an impact from the washing area.

The present invention was devised in view of such a phenomenon, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a bathtub apron that is strong against external forces from the washing area side and has a simple structure.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention has a mounting bracket that is separate from the apron attached to the lower part of the back surface of the apron, and a mounting bracket that is separate from the protruding stripes at the upper end of the protruding stripes. Attach the support member of the body, provide an engagement protrusion that protrudes in the vertical direction on one of the mounting bracket and the support member, provide an engagement hole on the other, and fit the engagement protrusion into the engagement hole. The lower end of the apron was connected to the upper end of the convex strip.

(Function) According to the above means, since the mounting bracket attached to the lower part of the apron and the support member separate from the protruding stripe attached to the upper end of the protruding stripe are fitted from the vertical direction, Strong against external forces from the washing area,
The apron is difficult to remove.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

Attached FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a unit bathroom according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the unit bathroom 1 has a floor pan 3 mounted inside a building frame, and a wall surrounding the floor pan 3. The bathroom space is constructed by erecting four side walls 5-1, 5-2, etc. by erecting the bathroom units (described later), and installing a ceiling panel (not shown) on the side walls 5-1, 5-2, etc. It is formed by defining Note that the two front side walls in the figure are omitted for convenience.
