Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathtub unit, and more particularly to a mounting structure for an upper edge surface of the bathtub unit.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As is well known, the bathtub unit has an upper edge surface formed around the bathtub body. The upper edge surface is formed by extending the edge of the bathtub in a flange shape, or is formed by another member.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the edge of the bathtub is extended in the shape of a flange, there are restrictions on the mold during molding and there is a problem in workability. In addition, it was difficult to form an excessively wide upper edge surface or to raise the edge of the bath body by extending the flange shape. On the other hand, when the upper edge surface is formed as a separate member, it is possible to form the upper edge surface in a free shape, but the mounting work becomes troublesome, and there may be a difficulty in waterproofness. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an upper edge mounting structure for a bathtub unit that can be mounted by a simple operation, has sufficient waterproofness, and exhibits excellent designability. And

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms an upper edge portion having a connection space that opens downward on the outside of the upper end portion of the bathtub body, and the connection portion of the upper edge surface that connects to the bathtub body is upwardly moved. A protruding connecting edge is formed, and fixing means is provided inside the upper edge portion of the bathtub body, and the connecting edge of the upper edge surface and the upper edge portion of the bathtub body are provided in the connecting space of the upper edge portion of the bathtub body. It is connected by fixing means.

[0005]

In the connection space provided in the upper edge portion of the bathtub body, since the upper edge portion and the connection edge protruding from the upper edge surface are connected by the fixing means, the hot water flowing on the upper edge surface is connected to the bathtub main body. It doesn't flow into the body and the connection is invisible.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a bath unit 1, and FIG. 2 is a right side view. Although the bathtub unit 1 generally includes a washing area and a wall, which are not shown, they are omitted here.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIGS. 4 to 5, the bathtub body 2 is provided with an armrest portion 3, and the lower portion of the armrest portion 3 is widened. Therefore, according to such a bathtub body 2, even if the armrest portion 3 is provided, it is possible to take a bath without feeling the tightness. The bathtub body 2 is made of stainless steel, so-called artificial marble, or the like.

On the outer side of the upper end portion of the bath body 2, there is provided an upper edge portion 4 which is integrally formed with a raised mountain-shaped curved surface. That is, the upper edge of the side wall of the bathtub body 2 is formed into a curved surface, and a gentle arc-shaped rising curved surface 4a, an upper end surface 4b extending substantially horizontally from the upper end of the rising curved surface 4a, and It has a hanging curved surface 4c which hangs down from the tip of the end surface 4b in a gentle arc, and forms a connection space 5 whose inside is open downward.

The upper edge 4 is provided with fixing means 6 at appropriate intervals at six positions according to the illustrated embodiment. This fixing means 6 is shown by A in FIG. 2 or as another example in FIG. 3, by welding a bolt 7 having a male screw portion, or by having a female screw portion, for example, a cross-sectional shape. It is configured by welding the substantially trapezoidal receiving seat 8.

On the other hand, a connection edge 10 that protrudes upward is formed at the connection portion of the upper edge surface 9. This connecting edge 10 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, after the tip of the portion of the upper edge surface 9 to be connected to the bath body 2 is once bent obliquely upward to form an inclined standing piece 10a. A horizontal connecting piece 10b is provided by extending the upper end of the inclined standing piece 10a almost in the horizontal direction.

A handrail 11, a faucet 12, or a small article storage 13 that also serves as an inspection port is formed on the upper edge surface 9 in the figure, and water return ridges 14 are formed on the three edges except the washroom side. Is raised.

Then, in order to connect the bathtub body 2 and the upper edge surface 9, the bathtub body 2 is inserted through a bathtub attachment opening (not shown) formed in the upper edge surface 9, The upper edge portion 4 is locked to the edge portion of the bathtub fitting, that is, near the base end of the connection edge 10. Next, the nut 15 is screwed to the bolt 7 which is the fixing means 6, or the bolt 16 is screwed to the female screw portion of the receiving seat 8 or the fixing means 6 is fixed as appropriate. Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the connection space 5 formed inside the upper edge portion 4 is filled with a filler 17 such as silicon or urethane to be watertight.

The fixing work may be carried out by inserting the bathtub body 2 placed in a laid-down state into the bathtub mounting opening so that the upper edge surface 9 in the upside-down state is covered.

According to the upper edge surface mounting structure of the bath unit 1 according to the present invention having the above-described structure, not only is the mounting work easy, but hot water can be provided between the bath body 2 and the upper edge surface 9. It is difficult to penetrate, and since the inclined edge piece 10a is provided on the connection edge 10, this inclined upright piece 10a functions as a water return piece and prevents further infiltration. Moreover, since the upper edge portion 4 provided on the bathtub body 2 is higher than the upper edge surface 9 in the connected state, not only is it excellent in design, but the hot and cold water flowing through the upper edge surface 9 is It does not flow into the main body 2 and is sanitary. Moreover, since the connection point is blindfolded, it cannot be seen from the outside.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be appropriately implemented unless the configuration described in the scope of claims for utility model is changed. it can. For example, the shape of the bathtub body or the upper edge surface may be any shape, and spot welding or the like may be used as the fixing means.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 In short, according to the present invention, the upper edge portion having a connection space that opens downward is formed outside the upper end portion of the bathtub body, and the connection portion of the upper edge surface that connects to the bathtub body projects upward. A connecting edge is formed, and fixing means is provided inside the upper edge of the bath body to fix the connecting edge of the upper edge surface and the upper edge of the bath body in the connection space of the upper edge of the bath body. Since the connection is made by means of not only the connection work between the upper edge surface and the bathtub body is easy, but also there is no risk of hot water entering between the upper edge surface and the bathtub body. Moreover, since the edge of the body of the bathtub protrudes from the upper edge surface, it is possible to provide a sanitary bathtub unit that is excellent in design and hygienic.
