As shown in FIG. 6, the flanges 88 and 90 on the upper sides of the aprons 84 and 86 are fixed to the boss (not shown in FIG. 7) provided on the lower surface of the handrail part 82 of the bathtub 80 with bolts, and necessary. It is known to connect the bathtub 80 and the aprons 84 and 86 by means of a stay 92 according to the above.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With the apron mounting structure shown in FIG. 6, it is necessary to tighten bolts when mounting the apron, which is troublesome. In addition, metal fittings such as bolts are required, resulting in high cost of parts and labor for inventory management.

[Means for Solving the Problem] An apron fixing structure of the present invention is provided with a tank body portion, a handrail portion extending outward from an upper side of the tank body portion, and a hanging portion vertically provided at a tip of the handrail portion. An apron is disposed below the hanging part with respect to the bathtub having, and a substantially horizontal insertion part is extended from the upper end part of the apron in a direction toward the tank body part, and the insertion part is connected to the tank body. The present invention relates to a structure in which an apron is fixed to the bath by inserting it between the hanging part.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a rib is provided so as to project from an upper side of the tank body portion, a notch is provided at a tip side of the apron insertion portion on the tank body portion side, and the notch and the rib are engaged. Characterize.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the structure of the first aspect, the bathtub and the apron are installed in a bathroom whose floor surface is formed by a waterproof pan, and the lower end side of the apron is a concave or convex line formed on the waterproof pan. It is characterized by engaging with the strip.

[Operation] In the structure of claim 1, since the apron is provided with the notch and the notch is engaged with the rib provided in the bathtub,
The upper side of the apron can be fixed to the bath by simply inserting the upper side of the apron between the hanging part and the tank body.

In the second aspect, the apron can be fixed only by engaging the lower end side of the apron with the concave or convex line of the waterproof pan.

Embodiments Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an apron fixing structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part thereof, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an upper side portion of an apron used in the structure.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a bathtub 1 includes a tank body portion 2, a handrail portion 3 extending outward from an upper side of the tank body portion 2, and a hanging portion 4 vertically extending from a tip of the handrail portion 3. ing. An apron 6 is installed below the hanging part 4 so as to be installed between the apron 6 and the waterproof pan 5.

As shown in FIG. 2 in an enlarged manner, from the upper side of the apron 6, an insertion portion 6A inserted into the lower surface side of the handrail portion 3 extends toward the tank body portion 2 in a substantially horizontal direction. This insertion part 6A has a crank-shaped cross section, and a standing surface
6a is provided. 6b shows the tip side portion of the insertion portion 6A, and 13 is a notch cut from the tip side 6b into the insertion portion 6A. A rib 12 is provided in the vicinity of an intersection corner between the tank body portion 2 and the handrail portion 3. This rib 12 has the notch 13
Are inserted so as to engage with each other, and the upright surface 6a contacts the inner surface 4a of the hanging portion 4, whereby the upper portion of the apron 6 is sandwiched between the hanging portion 4 of the handrail portion 3 and the tank body portion 2. .

A water draining wall 8 is raised from the peripheral portion of the waterproof pan 5, and an apron bearing surface 9 extends horizontally outward from the upper end of the water draining wall 8. Groove 10 on apron bearing surface 9
Has been drilled. The lower end portion of the apron 6 has an L-shaped bent cross section to form a leg piece 11. The lower end side of the apron 6 is locked to the waterproof pan 5 by engaging the groove 10 with the convex strip protruding downward from the lower surface of the leg piece 11.

In the apron fixing structure thus configured, when installing the apron 6, the upper part of the apron 6 is inserted between the hanging part 4 and the tank body part 2, and the lower end part of the apron 6 is provided with the groove 10.
It is only necessary to engage with. Therefore, the attachment of the apron 6 can be performed very easily and quickly, and the metal fittings such as bolts are unnecessary.

In this embodiment, since the notch 13 is engaged with the rib 12, the apron 6 is prevented from moving in the direction orthogonal to the cross section of the rib 12, and the attachment of the apron 6 is extremely stable. Will be things.

4 and 5 show different embodiments of the apron fixing structure of the present invention, and show the engaging portion between the lower end portion of the apron and the waterproof pan.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the lower end portion of the apron 6 has a vertical plate shape in which the leg pieces 11 are omitted.
The lower end of is inserted into the groove 10 of the apron bearing surface 9 and is locked.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a groove 14 is formed on the lower surface of the leg piece 11, and a convex strip 15 is formed on the upper surface of the apron bearing surface 9. By engaging the groove 14 with the ridge 15, the lower end portion of the apron 6 and the waterproof pan 5 are fixed.

Although not shown in the drawings, caulking is applied to the connecting portion between the hanging portion 4 and the apron 6 and the connecting portion between the apron 6 and the waterproof pan 5 as necessary.

[Effects] As described above, according to the apron fixing structure of the present invention, the apron can be easily and quickly fixed to the bathtub without using special metal fittings. Therefore, inventory management of parts can be facilitated and the cost of parts and work can be reduced.

According to the structure of claim 2, the lower end side of the apron can be easily and quickly fixed to the waterproof pan, and no metal fitting or the like is required for fixing the lower end side.
