[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a shoulder rest shower device 17 is mainly composed of a tubular pedestal 27, a main body 28, a cylindrical rotary shaft 31, and a shoulder rest nozzle 3. ing. The lower portion of the tubular pedestal 27 is inserted into the flange 2 of the bathtub, the step portion 40 of the pedestal 27 is placed on the upper surface of the flange 2, and the nut 42 is screwed to the male screw portion 41 provided on the outer periphery of the lower portion of the pedestal 27. The pedestal 27 is attached to the flange 2. A lower portion of a main body 28 is fitted and connected to an upper end of the pedestal 27 via an O-ring 29, and a shoulder pad nozzle 3 is attached to a rotary shaft 31 rotatably attached to an upper portion of the main body 28. . A shower water supply pipe for a shoulder rest is connected to the tubular pedestal 27.

[0003]

In the above shower device 17 for shoulder rest, when the external appearance of the main body 28 and the shoulder rest nozzle upper part 3 are deteriorated or damaged, they are detached from the flange 2 and replaced. However, the pedestal 27 attached to the flange 2 with the nut 42 cannot be easily replaced.
That is, the outer periphery of the portion of the pedestal 27 located between the main body 28 and the flange 2 (shown by reference numeral A in FIG. 5) is also an external component that can be visually seen, and it needs to be replaced when the external appearance is deteriorated or damaged. However, it is necessary to remove the nut 42 located on the back surface of the flange 2 for replacement, and it cannot be easily replaced. A dedicated inspection port is required to remove the flange 2 from the back side. Further, if the inspection port cannot be provided, it is necessary to remove and replace the bathtub, which causes a problem that a large construction cost is required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to easily replace external parts and maintain them in the installed state without providing an inspection port. It is to provide a structure for mounting a shower device for a shoulder rest on a bathtub.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a structure for mounting a shoulder pad shower device to a bath tub by fixing a pedestal 27 of the shoulder pad shower device 17 through a flange 2 of the bath tub 1. Then, in the mounting structure of the shoulder shower device to the bathtub in which the main body 28 of the shoulder shower device 17 is detachably connected to the upper end of the pedestal 27,
The decorative ring 43 is detachably fitted on the outer periphery of the pedestal 27 between the main body 28 and the upper surface of the flange 2.

[0006]

According to the above structure, the cosmetic ring 43 is detachably fitted to the exposed portion of the pedestal 27, so that the cosmetic ring 43, which is an external component of the pedestal 27, can be easily attached and detached from above. Easy replacement and maintenance of parts.

Are connected by nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14,
Bath water can be supplied to the injection nozzles 11 and 12. The flange 2 of the bath tub 1 is provided with an air intake port 15, and the air intake port 15 and the injection nozzles 11 and 12 are connected by an air pipe 16, whereby the injection nozzle 1
Air can be supplied to 1 and 12. Bathtub 1
A pair of shower devices 17 for shoulder rests are arranged on the flange 2 at positions corresponding to the shoulders of the bather, and the shower device 17 for shoulder rests and the circulation pump 8 are connected by a shower water supply pipe 18 for shoulder rests. It is connected and the bath water is supplied to the shoulder shower device 17. The operation of the bathtub 1 is performed by the remote controller 20, and the operation patterns can be selected, the flow rate can be adjusted, and the frequency of the jet flow change can be adjusted. The signal from the remote controller 20 is sent to the remote controller light receiving unit 21 and transmitted to the control unit 22 housed in the circulation pump 8.

The bath water sucked from the suction port 9 is supplied from the circulation pump 8 to the nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 via a flow rate control valve 23 which controls the circulation flow rate inside the pump unit.
