Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bathtub lid, and more particularly to a practical bathtub lid which is excellent in heat insulation and easy to be detached and housed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although a bathtub lid is generally used from the viewpoint of keeping the bathwater warm in the bathtub, it is not necessary when taking a bath. Therefore, various detachable storage structures for the bathtub lid have been proposed.

As a storage structure, for example, a folding structure and a winding structure have been proposed.

As the folding structure, for example, a structure is used in which a lid member made of a heat insulating material is connected by a plastic soft material and the connecting portion is folded and stored at the time of storage.

Further, in the winding structure, for example, a mechanism for winding and accommodating a bath lid formed of a flexible material in a roll shape is used in a winder installed on one side of the bath.

[0006] A problem in the case where the bathtub lid has a storage type structure is how to reduce the storage size while maintaining the heat retention of the bath water.

However, in the case of the folding structure described above, since the folding portion is formed of a plastic flexible material, a decrease in heat retention cannot be avoided, and in the case of the winding structure, the soft material as the lid material is kept warm. From the viewpoint of providing the material, it is desirable to use a material having a certain thickness, but if the thickness is increased, there is a problem that the storage size becomes large and the practicality is impaired.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention realizes a bathtub lid which is easy to fold by using a lid material having excellent heat insulating properties and has a good heat insulating and heat retaining property even in the folded portion.

[0009]

As means for solving the problems, a lid member having a length corresponding to the depth of a bathtub and having a cross section in the lengthwise direction formed in a parallelogram shape is used. A bathtub lid is used in which a plurality of lid members are arranged in the lateral width direction of the bathtub by overlapping the inclined surface portions of each other.

As another means for solving the problems,
A lid member having a length corresponding to the depth of the bathtub and having a cross section in the lengthwise direction formed in a parallelogram shape is formed by overlapping the parallelogram slope portions with each other to form a plurality of lid members in the width direction of the bathtub. To form a bathtub lid, and when the bathtub lid is housed, one lid member slides on the slope portion of the lid member adjacent to the lid member and on a parallel plane continuous with the slope portion. A bathtub lid configured to be stacked and stored on the adjacent lid material is used.

Further, as another means for solving the problem, a lid member having at least a length corresponding to the depth of a bath and having a parallelogram-shaped cross section with respect to the length direction is used as the slope of the parallelogram. A plurality of lid members are arranged in the lateral width direction of the bath by overlapping the portions to form a bath lid, and a guide groove is provided on a side surface of the lid member in the arrangement direction of the lid member, and a fitting member is fitted in the guide groove. One end of the slider is rotatably fitted and slid through the other end of the slider, and the other end of the slider is rotatably rotatably supported by the side surface of the cover member that is adjacently arranged. One of the lid members that are connected to each other and slide the slider in the guide groove and are adjacent to each other is slid on the inclined surface portion of the other lid material and on a flat surface that is continuous with the inclined surface portion and are adjacent to each other. A bathtub lid configured so as to be stacked and stored on a lid material is used.

Further, as another means for solving the problem, a lid member having at least a length corresponding to the depth of the bathtub and having a cross section in the lengthwise direction formed in a parallelogram shape is used. A plurality of lids are overlapped with each other to form a bathtub lid by arranging the lids in the lateral width direction of the bath, and the side surface of the lid is provided with a sloped portion of the lid and a parallel plane continuous to the sloped portion. A guide groove is erected, and a slider that fits into and slides in the erected guide groove is projected on the side surface of the adjacent lid member, and the protruding slider is slid in the erected guide groove. Then, the one lid member is slid on the slope portion of the lid member adjacent to the lid member and the flat surface connected to the slope portion to be stacked and housed on the adjacent lid member. Used.

Further, as another means for solving the problem, a lid member having a length corresponding to at least the depth of a bath and having a parallelogram-shaped cross section with respect to the length direction is used as the slope of the parallelogram. In the bathtub lid in which a plurality of lid members are arranged in the lateral width direction of the bathtub by overlapping parts with each other,
A bathtub lid in which a bent portion is provided on the overlapping slope portion is used.

Further, as another means for solving the problem, a bathtub lid having a flat surface formed on the bent portion is used.

[00015]

In the above means, when the bathtub is used, a plurality of lid members having a length at least longer than the depth of the bathtub are arranged in the lateral width direction of the bathtub. Then, in each of the lid members, the inclined surface portions of the lid members having a parallelogram cross section are arranged so as to overlap each other.

This overlapping arrangement prevents the temperature of the hot water in the bath from radiating from the gap between the lids, and keeps the hot water in the bath together with the heat insulating property of the lid.

Further, in the above means, since the slope portions of the lid member arranged on the bathtub are arranged in an overlapping manner,
When a pressing force is applied in the arrangement direction of the lid members, sliding occurs in the overlapping portions of the inclined surfaces of the lid members that are adjacent to each other. As a result, sliding occurs such that one lid member rides on the other lid member, and the respective lid members are laminated.

Further, in the above-mentioned means, a guide groove in the cover material arranging direction is provided on each side surface of the arranged cover material, and one end of the slider is slidably fitted in the guide groove. The other end of the slider is rotatably rotatably supported on the side surface of the lid member that is adjacently arranged to connect the lid member that is adjacently arranged.

When the slider is slid along the guide groove, one of the lid members adjacent to each other slides on the slope portion of the parallelogram section of the other, and further the slope portion. Is slid on a flat surface continuous with and stacked and stored on the other lid member.

Further, in the above-mentioned other means, a guide groove is provided on the side surface portion of the arranged cover material along the inclined surface portion of the cover material and a plane continuous with the inclined surface portion, and the guide groove is fitted into the guide groove. A slider that slides and slides on the side surface of the adjacent lid member is projected.

When the slider is slid along the guide groove, one of the lid members adjacent to each other slides on the slope portion having a parallelogrammatic cross section, and further on the slope portion. It slides on a continuous plane and is stacked and stored on the other lid member.
