Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the structure of leg portions on which a bathtub is placed.

[Background Art] Conventionally, in bathtubs mainly made of artificial marble or the like, the leg members 2c are made of FRP2d as shown in Fig. 4b.
However, as shown in FIG. 4a, the upper end of the leg 2 was located at a distance from the side wall 3 of the bathtub body 1, so the leg 2 was attached by overlay fixation. If the main body 1 is dropped in a tilted state as shown in Fig. 5, a concentrated load will be applied to the legs 2, which may easily cause damage, and a concentrated load will also be applied to the bottom 5 of the bathtub main body 1, which may cause cracks at the bottom. Ta. Another problem was that when tilted as shown in FIG. 5, the corner portion K formed by the side wall 3 and the bottom portion 5 directly collides with the ground plane 4, and this portion is likely to be damaged.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above conventional problems, and its purpose is to transfer part of the load to the side wall of the bathtub body when the bathtub body is dropped. To provide a structure of a leg part of a bathtub which can prevent breakage of corner parts, legs and bottom part of a bathtub body.

[Disclosure of the invention] The structure of the legs of the bathtub of the present invention is such that the leg body 2a is provided to protrude downward from the lower surface of the bathtub body 1, and the lower end of the side end of the leg body 2a is connected to the bottom of the bathtub body 1. A separate leg reinforcing material 2b is positioned inside the lower end of the side wall 3 and is fixed to the side end of the leg main body 2a to constitute the leg 2, and the outer surface of the leg reinforcing material 2b is an inclined surface. , the inclined surface of the leg reinforcing member 2b is located at approximately the same position or slightly protruding outward with respect to the line connecting the lower end of the side end of the leg body 2a and the lower end of the side wall 3 of the bathtub body 1. It is what it is. That is, in the present invention, the lower end of the side end of the leg main body 2a is located inside the lower end of the side wall 3 of the bathtub main body 1, and a separate leg reinforcing member is attached to the side end of the leg main body 2a. 2b is fixed to form the leg 2, the outer surface of the leg reinforcement 2b is an inclined surface, and the line connecting the lower end of the side end of the leg main body 2a and the lower end of the side wall 3 of the bathtub main body 1 is The inclined surfaces of the leg reinforcing members 2b are located at almost the same position or protruding slightly outward, so that when the bathtub body 1 is tilted to touch the ground, the leg reinforcing members 2b are separated.
The sloped surface of the bathtub body 1 makes contact with the ground, making it possible to support the bathtub body by touching the ground, making the support stable, and preventing direct impact from being applied to the corners, making it less likely to break. Also, if the bathtub body 1 is dropped, the legs 2 Part of this load is supported by the inclined surface and part of the load is transferred to the side wall 3.
It is now possible to escape to the side.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to examples. Figure 1,
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a leg body 2a is provided to protrude downward from the lower surface of the bathtub body 1, and a separate leg reinforcing member 2b is bonded to this leg body 2a. A leg portion 2 is configured to be fixed and whose upper end is continuous with the side wall 3 of the bathtub body 1. In other words, in the present invention, the leg main body 2 is located at a position further away from the side wall 3 of the bathtub main body 1 like the conventional leg, but by gluing the separate leg reinforcing material 2b, the leg Part reinforcement material 2b
The upper end is connected to the lower end of the side wall 3. Here, the outer inclined surface of the leg reinforcing member 2b is a line l connecting the lower end of the leg main body 2a to the lower end of the side wall 3.
(In the embodiment shown in the drawings, this line l is equal to the tangent line of the middle part after the arc of the corner part formed by the side wall 3 and the bottom part 5), or if it is made to protrude slightly outward, When the bathtub body 1 is tilted as shown in Fig. 3, the leg reinforcing material 2b is in contact with the ground plane 4 when the bathtub body 1 is tilted, and the side wall 3 of the bathtub body 1 is not directly in contact with the ground plane 4 and receives a shock. You can do it like this. Note that, as shown in FIG. 1, the leg reinforcing member 2b may be slightly raised above the ground plane 4. Of course, the lower end of the leg reinforcing material 2b may be at the same level as the lower end of the leg main body 2a. When the bathtub main body 1 is dropped from an inclined position as shown in FIG. 3, the impact is received by the legs 2, and a part of the impact is released to the side wall. The fall height in this case is from 20 cm to 50 cm.

[Effect of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, the lower end of the side end of the leg main body is located inside the lower end of the side wall of the bathtub main body, and a separate leg is attached to the side end of the leg main body. The legs are constructed by fixing reinforcing materials, the outer surfaces of the leg reinforcing materials are sloped surfaces, and the legs are aligned with respect to the line connecting the lower end of the side end of the leg body and the lower end of the side wall of the bathtub body. Since the sloped surfaces of the leg reinforcements are located at almost the same position or slightly protrude outward, when the bathtub body is tilted to touch the ground, the sloped surfaces of the separate leg reinforcements will come into contact with the ground. The support is stable because it can be supported by touching the ground on the surface, and it prevents direct impact from being applied to the corners, making it less likely to break. Also, when the bathtub body is dropped, part of the load on the legs is absorbed by the sloping surface. It can be supported to release part of the load to the side wall.
