Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a bathtub in which a colored layer of a desired color is formed on the back side of a colorless and transparent bathtub base portion.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, this type of bathtub has been constructed as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
1) Bath base part (1) with upper edge rim (12) over the upper edge
Is formed integrally with a colorless and transparent resin material or the like, and a colored layer (2) of a desired color is formed from the back surface of the upper edge rim (12) to the outer peripheral surface of the tank portion (11), and the surface of the bath body is formed. By giving it a sense of transparency, it creates a unique texture.

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional bathtub, since the colored layer (2) is not formed on the surface portion and the lower edge of the vertical surface (12a) in the upper edge rim (12), when installed in the bathroom (B), Above vertical surface (1
2a) and the rim mounting surface (not shown) provided in the bathroom (B) or the contact portion between the inner wall of the bathroom (B ₁ ) and the shaded portion (C) through the upper edge rim (12). There was a problem that the outer edge of the upper rim (12) could be seen as blackened and the appearance of the bathtub was deteriorated because it was visible from above the bathtub.

(Problems to solve the problems) The problem to be solved by the present invention to solve the above problems is to visually check the shadow part formed between the vertical surface of the upper edge rim, the rim mounting surface and the inner wall of the bathroom. This is to eliminate the possibility of impairing the appearance of the bathtub by blocking it unnecessarily.

(Means for Achieving the Object) The means for achieving the above object is to form a colored layer over the entire outer peripheral surface of the bath portion from the surface portion of the upper edge rim of the bath base portion described above. It is characterized by having done.

(Operation) According to the above means, the colored layer is visually observed through the bathtub base portion to give the bathtub body surface a sense of transparency, and when installed in the bathroom, the vertical surface of the upper edge rim and the rim mounting surface, The shaded portion formed in the contact portion with the inner wall of the bathroom is shielded by the colored layer to eliminate the possibility that the outer edge of the upper rim is darkened.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drawing shows the main part of the bathtub (A).

The bathtub (A) is formed by extending a tank portion (11) in which a tank wall (11b) is erected on the periphery of a flat rectangular bottom wall (11a) and outward from the upper edge of the tank portion (11). And a bathtub base portion (1) consisting of an upper edge rim (12) formed by bending a vertical surface (12a) at its outer end,
It is integrally formed of FRP or other colorless and transparent synthetic resin material, and the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) and the lower edge and the upper edge rim (1
A colored layer (2) is formed by applying a resin of a desired color to the back surface portion of 2) and the entire outer peripheral surface of the tank portion (11), and the upper edge rim (12) is the bathroom inner wall (B ₁ ). Along the bathroom (B)
It is installed inside.

Incidentally, (3) in the figure is a reinforcing member provided between the vertical surface (12a) and the tank wall (11b).

Thus, a bather is provided with a colored layer (2) through the bath base (1).
To make the surface of the body of the bathtub (A) transparent.
Further, a shaded portion (not shown) formed in the contact portion between the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) and the bathroom inner wall (B ₁ ) is provided with a colored layer (2)
The outer edge of the upper edge rim (12) is shielded by, so that there is no possibility that the outer edge appears dark.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper edge rim (12) does not necessarily have a surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) on the portion mounted on the rim mounting surface (B ₂ ) provided in the bathroom (B). It is not necessary to form the colored layer (2) on the vertical surface (12a) even in this case.
The shaded part (not shown) formed at the contact portion between the lower edge and the rim mounting surface (B ₂ ) is shielded by the colored layer (2) to prevent the outer edge of the upper edge rim (12) from appearing dark. lose.

Further, in the portion of the upper edge rim (12) that does not contact the inner wall (B ₁ ) of the bathroom and the rim mounting surface (B ₂ ), the colored layer (2) is provided on the lower edge and the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a). It goes without saying that it is not necessary to form it.

Further, in the present embodiment, the colored layer (2) is integrally formed from the lower edge or the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) to the entire outer peripheral surface of the tank portion (1), but it is not limited to this. A vertically extending surface on which the colored layer (2) is formed from the rear surface portion of the upper edge rim (12) to the outer peripheral surface of the tank portion (11) and which is in contact with the bathroom inner wall (B ₁ ) or the rim mounting surface (B ₂ ). It is also possible to separately apply paint or attach colored tape or the like to the surface portion and the lower edge of (12a).

In this case, if colored tape or the like is separately attached to the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) and the lower edge, when mounting on the rim mounting surface as shown in FIG. 3, the surface portion of the vertical surface (12a) is Work is easy because you only have to remove the coloring tape.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention having the above-described configuration has the following effects.

It is possible to provide a bathtub having a unique transparent surface and not causing a deterioration in appearance due to the outer edge of the upper rim appearing dark when installed in a bathroom.
