Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The air bubble piping provided on the back surface of the bubble bath can be protected easily and inexpensively to prevent damage during handling, and also for baths of different shapes and sizes. Provide a pipe protection structure that can be easily dealt with. [Structure] A metal sheet 24 is attached to the back surface of the bubble bath 10 to form a piping space between the back surface of the bath 10 and the metal sheet 24, and bubble pipings 18 and 20 are arranged in the piping space. .

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pipe protection structure for a bubble bath.

[0002]

[Background of device]

 In the bubble bath, a pipe for bubbles is provided on the back surface side. When transporting, stacking, and unloading this bubble bath with pipes installed, the pipe exposed on the back side of the bath hits an external member and is damaged by the impact at that time. Has occurred conventionally.

In order to prevent this, a cover made of hard resin is fixed to the back surface of the bathtub to form a space between the cover and the back surface of the bathtub, and a bubble pipe is arranged in the space. Conceivable.

However, in order to manufacture such a cover made of hard resin, a large mold is required, and this cover needs to have a different shape for each size and shape of the bathtub. Therefore, many kinds of things must be prepared in advance, which results in high cost.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its gist is to attach a metal sheet to the back surface of a bubble bath to form a piping space between the back surface of the bath and the metal sheet. That is, the bubble pipe is arranged in the pipe space.

[0006]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a metal sheet is attached to the back surface of the bathtub to protect the pipe. According to the present invention, the pipe is directly connected to the outside when handling the bubble bath. The member can be prevented from hitting and being damaged.

Further, according to the present invention, the pipe can be easily protected by simply sticking a tape-shaped or strip-shaped metal sheet having a width of about 30 cm to the back surface of the bath in order, and the shape and size of the bath can be changed. Even if you do, you can easily deal with it, and the cost is low.

This metal sheet is preferably made of stainless steel from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance, and its thickness is appropriately 0.5 mm or less in consideration of workability.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 10 is a bubble bath and 12 is an air pump. An air supply pipe 14 made of copper extends from the air pump 12 and is connected to a main pipe 18 made of copper provided on the back surface side of the bath bottom 16. Eight rubber branch hoses 20 extend from the main pipe 18, and each tip is connected to the fumaroles 22 provided at a total of eight locations on the bottom 16 of the bath.

For the pipes provided on the back side of the bottom of the bathtub, a tape-shaped or strip-shaped stainless sheet having a width of about 30 cm and a thickness of 0.5 mm or less is bent according to the shape of the bath bottom, the structure of the pipe, and the like. While being formed, it is covered and protected by a metal sheet 24 attached to the back surface of the bath. However, the legs 26 of the bathtub are exposed to the outside.

As described above, in this example, the bubble pipe on the back surface of the bottom portion 16 of the bathtub is protected by the metal sheet 24 attached to the back surface of the bottom portion 16. According to this protection structure, the bathtub It is possible to easily cope with the case where the size and shape of 10 are changed, and it is possible to protect the pipe at a low cost.

In addition, since the metal sheet 24 gives the operator a distinctly different feeling from that of the bath body made of a normal resin, it should be noted that there is a member to be protected inside the metal sheet 24 for the operator. Can be evoked. Therefore, the operator handles the bathtub 10 while paying attention to the portion wrapped with the metal sheet 24, and there is an advantage that the damage to the pipe due to the carelessness of the operator can be more effectively prevented.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, this is merely an example, and the present invention can be configured in a form in which various modifications are made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. is there.
