Abstract

PURPOSE:To use an apron for a long time by attaching a synthetic resin reinforcement to the rear surface of an apron body so as to eliminate corrosion. CONSTITUTION:A reinforcement 2 having an H-like cross-sectional shape and made of a high density foamed polystyrene material is attached to the rear surface of an FRP resin body 1 by an adhesive, and a reinforcement 3 made of a high density foamed polystyrene material is attached to one side of the rear surface of the apron body 1 by an adhesive while a reinforcement 4 made of a high density foamed polystyrene material is attached to the other side of the rear surface of the apron body 1 by an adhesive. The apron body 1 is reinforced by these reinforcements 2, 3, 4. Since the reinforcements 2, 3, 4 are made of synthetic resin having a high durability, they do not corrode even though it is used for a long time. Thus, since the reinforcements 2, 3 do not corrode, screws for attaching retaining springs and fixtures to the reinforcements 2, 3 are not loosened, and accordingly, it is possible to prevent the apron from rattling.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathtub apron which is attached to the side of a bathtub to make up the side of the bathtub.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-89689 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-51289, an apron is provided on the side of the wash basin side, washbasin side, or toilet side of the bathtub. It is known that the apron is applied to the side of the bathtub such as the washroom side.

By the way, in a conventional bathtub apron, a reinforcing wooden bar is attached to the back surface of the apron body, and in some cases, a mounting bracket is attached to the wooden bar and is attached to the side of the bathtub by the mounting bracket. ing.

[0004]

However, in the case where the wooden crosspiece is attached to the back surface of the bathtub apron as in the conventional case, the reinforcing wooden crosspiece is corroded due to long-term use, and the apron for the bathtub is corroded. However, when the mounting bracket is attached to the wooden bar, the mounting bracket comes off the corroded wooden bar, and the apron comes off from the side of the bathtub.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in the above-mentioned conventional bathtub apron. The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a reinforcing material even after long-term use. It does not corrode, and is to provide an apron for bathtubs that withstands long-term use.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the bathtub apron of the present invention is characterized in that a synthetic resin reinforcing material is attached to the back surface of the apron body.

In the present invention, the material of the synthetic resin reinforcing material is not particularly limited.
Synthetic resins such as FRP, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and ABS resin can be preferably used, and particularly when weight reduction is desired, angle materials, H-shaped materials, square tube materials, etc. of these synthetic resins, or these The synthetic resin foam can be used.

[0008]

In the bathtub apron of the present invention, since the synthetic resin reinforcing material is attached to the back surface of the apron body,
Since the synthetic resin reinforcing material does not corrode even after long-term use, it can be used for a long time.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a back view showing an example of the bathtub apron of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is III-II of FIG.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line I, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG.

In these figures, 1 is an FRP apron main body, 2 is a reinforcing member made of polystyrene low foam and having an H-shaped cross section, and the reinforcing member 2 is an apron main body 1 with an adhesive.
It is attached to the back of. , 3, ... Reinforcing material made of polystyrene low foam attached to one side of the back surface of the apron body 1 by adhesive, 4, 4, ... Adhering to the other side of the back surface of the apron body 1. It is a reinforcing material made of polystyrene low foam attached by an agent.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a step portion 1 on one surface of the apron body 1.
1 is a spacer made of polystyrene low foam attached with a double-sided adhesive tape, 6 is a holding spring attached to the reinforcing member 3 with an attaching screw, and 7 is a fixing metal member attached to the reinforcing member 4 with an attaching screw.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a state in which the bathtub apron of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is attached to a bathtub. In FIG. 5, 8 is a FRP bathtub, 9 is a FRP waterproof pan, and is waterproof. A protruding portion 93 is provided so as to project at the boundary between the washing place 91 for the bread 9 and the bathtub mounting portion 92.

As shown in FIG. 5, the upper end portion of the bathtub apron of the present invention is inserted between the upper end opening folded edge 81 of the bathtub 8 and the spacer 82 attached to the outer surface of the upper end portion of the side wall of the bathtub 8, The stepped portion 11 at the upper end portion of the bathtub apron according to the present invention is pressed to the folded edge 81 of the bathtub 8 by the repulsive force of the spring 6.
The apron for a bathtub of the present invention is laterally attached to the bathtub 8 by attaching the backside of the lower end of the apron for the bathtub of the present invention to the side surface of the protrusion 93 of the waterproof pan 9 and attaching the apron for the bathtub 8 to the convex portion 93 with the fixing bracket 7. Installed.

[Operation of Embodiment] Next, the operation of the bathtub apron of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described. Since the reinforcing material 2 is attached to the back surface of the apron body 1 and the reinforcing materials 3 and 4 are attached to both sides of the back surface of the apron body 1, the apron body 1 is reinforced by these reinforcing materials 2, 3 and 4. To be done. Since the reinforcing materials 2, 3 and 4 are made of synthetic resin having high durability, they will not corrode even after long-term use. Since the reinforcements 2 and 3 do not corrode in this way, the mounting screws for attaching the pressing spring 6 and the fixing metal 7 to the reinforcements 2 and 3 do not loosen, and therefore the apron does not rattle.

[0015]

In the bathroom apron of the present invention, since the synthetic resin reinforcing material is attached to the back surface of the apron body, the synthetic resin reinforcing material does not corrode even after long-term use. Can be used over a period of time.
