Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a bathtub in which an air bubble generator is scheduled to be installed.

(Conventional bathtub) It is very common that the bathtub is integrally formed into a rectangular or square container shape from FRP (including poly-based resin), stainless steel, enamel-coated casting, and the like. Then, the bathtub has an upper edge surface that is formed by projecting the entire circumference of the upper peripheral edge portion outward.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Outer dimension of bathtub (Dimension between outer ends of the upper edge surfaces)
Has a width of about 600 mm even if it is small.
Also, the height of the bathtub is at least about 500 mm. In particular, since the bathtub in which the bubble generating device can be installed is generally of a high-grade type, there is a tendency that the above-mentioned dimensions are also increased.

However, the width of the opening taken at the entrance and exit of the bathroom is determined to be irrelevant to the size of the bathtub and the space in the bathroom, and is usually about 600 to 800 mm. That is, in the case of constructing the bathroom in a new house, if the entrance of the bathroom is built first, it may not be possible to carry in afterwards depending on the bathtub. Therefore, when constructing a bathroom, it was necessary to look into the opportunity to bring in the bathtub while watching the progress of the construction work. In addition, when remodeling a bathroom or replacing an existing bathtub, it was necessary to prepare for taking in and out of the bathtub by, for example, temporarily breaking the entrance and the wall of the bathroom. As described above, the installation of the bathtub requires an extremely large amount of work, which leads to a long construction period, a large number of construction workers, and a high construction cost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and makes it possible to install a bathtub extremely easily regardless of whether or not the entrance / exit of the bathroom is already built, and shortens the construction period. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new bathtub (hereinafter, referred to as a bathtub of the present invention) capable of reducing the number of construction workers and reducing the construction cost.

[Configuration of Device] (Means for Solving the Problem) The gist of the present invention bathtub is that, in a bathtub in which a bubble jet outlet is provided on the inner surface of the bathtub, the height at which the center of the bubble jet outlet is positioned. It can be divided into an upper frame part and a lower container part at a level, and a mounting concave part of a bubble jetting metal fitting is formed in each of the joining peripheral edges of the upper frame part and the lower container part.

(Operation) In the proposed bathtub, the upper frame portion and the lower container portion can be divided, and each can be carried into the bathroom exceptionally. In other words, it does not matter at all whether or not the entrance / exit of the bathroom is already built when installing the proposed bathtub. Further, when joining the upper frame portion and the lower container portion, by attaching the bubble jetting metal fitting between the respective mounting recesses provided so as to straddle the both, the upper frame portion and the lower container portion Is fixed.

(Embodiment) The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment thereof.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a bathtub of the present invention. In the proposed bathtub, the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2 can be divided horizontally in the vertical direction (the two-dot chain line in the figure indicates a dividing line).

The upper frame part 1 and the lower container part 2 are divided so that the height of the entire bath is 2
The height level is a little lower (closer to the bottom of the bath) than the height level when divided evenly. At this height level, the center of the bubble jetting port 4 on the inner surface 3 of the bath is positioned.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a disassembled bathtub of the present invention. As is clear from the figure, at a corresponding position where the bubble jetting port 4 (see FIG. 1) is provided, a half-moon shape is formed at the joining peripheral edge portions 1a and 2a of the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2, respectively. Notches are provided. Each of the cutouts is a bubble jet fitting
There are mounting recesses 6, 6, ... For mounting 5a, 5b. It should be noted that stepped portions 7 and 8 are formed on the joint peripheral edge portion 1a of the upper frame portion 1 and the joint peripheral edge portion 2a of the lower container portion 2 so as to have a concave-convex fitting relationship with each other.

In order to install the proposed bathtub, first, the lower container part 2 is carried into the bathroom (including the one under construction). Further, subsequently, the upper frame portion 1 is carried in and placed on the lower container portion 2. In carrying out this mounting work, it is necessary to apply an appropriate sealing material or packing material (not shown in the figure) to the joint peripheral edge portion 2a of the lower container portion 2 in advance. The upper frame 1 is
Depending on the type of bathtub, the weight may reach nearly 50 kg by itself, and in that case, the watertight joining state can be maintained even by the own weight of the upper frame portion 1. However, preferably, the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2 are appropriately fixed by a resin material or an adhesive as a backup. Then, the air bubble jetting metal fittings 5a, 5b are inserted into the mounting recesses 6, 6 formed in a circular shape by joining the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2 and sandwiched between the inside and outside of the inner surface 3 of the bath. Fixed to. As a result, the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2 are completely joined. The bubble jetting metal fittings 5a, 5b can be attached in advance to the lower container portion 2 before the upper frame portion 1 is mounted in a temporarily attached state. When the work up to this point has been completed, the sealing material and the like that has protruded from the inner surface 3 of the bathtub is abraded, and then the proposed bathtub is positioned in a predetermined arrangement. Since the joint boundary between the upper frame portion 1 and the lower container portion 2 can be modified so as to be almost inconspicuous at 3 on the inner surface of the bathtub, there is no fear that a bather or the like will feel a low quality of the bathtub.

(Examination of Another Mode) The present invention bathtub is not limited to being divided into two, and the number of divisions can be increased as necessary. For example, it is possible to divide the flat frame body by the upper edge surface 9 with respect to the upper frame portion 1 or the installation leg portion (see reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1) with respect to the lower container portion 2. be able to. Further, the installation procedure of the above-mentioned bathtub of the present invention is not limited in any way, and if the lower container portion 2 is carried in and its positioning and height adjustment are performed, it is lighter than when handling the weight of the entire bathtub. Therefore, the work can be further facilitated and facilitated. In this way, the configuration and shape of the bathtub of the present invention can be appropriately changed according to the embodiment.

"Effect of Device" As is clear from the above description, according to the bathtub of the present invention, it is possible to carry the bathtub into the bathroom regardless of whether or not the entrance / exit of the bathroom is already built. It is a thing. Therefore, when proceeding with the construction work of the bathroom, it is not necessary to pay attention to the opportunity of bringing in the bathtub, and it becomes easier for both parties to work. In particular, it is extremely convenient when the construction worker involved in building the bathroom and the construction worker involved in installing the bathtub are different. Of course, when remodeling the bathroom or replacing the bathtub, it is not necessary to bother to break the entrances and walls of the bathroom, so the construction range can be minimized,
As a result, the construction period can be shortened, the construction workers can be saved, and the construction cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the loading work of the bathtub can be performed separately for the upper frame portion and the lower container portion, the loading load required for one loading is about half that of the conventional method, which also saves labor. It has a number of excellent advantages, such as that
