DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for covering a side wall of a washing tub using an apron.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 13, in a bathroom where a bathtub 4 is installed on a bathtub installation portion 21 side of a floor pan 2 and a washing room A is formed on a washing room portion 22 side, a bathtub installation portion of the floor pan 2 is installed. An apron 100 is provided between a bank portion 23 separating the washing portion 22 and the rim portion 41 of the bathtub 4 so that the side surface Q of the washing tub A side of the bathtub 4 cannot be seen from the washing yard A side by the apron 100. Covered in.

In this case, the apron 100 is used for cleaning and maintenance of the bath pan installation section 21 side of the floor pan 2.
It is detachably attached to the bank part 23 and the rim part 41 side of the bathtub 4. That is, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the apron 100 has the rim portion 4 at the upper end side.
In the oblique state inserted into the inside 1, the whole is lifted upward, and the lower end side hole 101 is positioned above the protrusion 110 mounted on the bank 23, and then the protrusion 110 is inserted into the hole 101. As a result, the apron is supported on the bank part 23 side so that the upper end side is positioned in the rim part 41 and the lower end side is protruded.
Positioned by 10, it is detachably attached between the bank 23 and the rim 41.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, when a counter 8 is provided near the side wall Q of the washing area A of the bathtub 4, the counter 8 interferes and the apron 100 cannot be attached or detached. As shown in (a) of
Using a modified apron 100A obtained by removing the counter 8 side from a rectangular apron, or using two large and small aprons 100B and 100C as shown in FIG. The side surface Q is covered. The deformed apron 100A is formed integrally by resin molding or the like, or is formed by cutting a rectangular apron.

[0005]

However, when the modified apron 100A is used, the modified apron 100A is used.
The attachment / detachment can be carried out almost in the same manner as in the prior art, but it is necessary to make many kinds of such modified aprons 100A in accordance with the size of the counter 8, resulting in a problem that the cost of the apron increases.

Also, large and small aprons 100B, 100
Even when C is used, it is necessary to make many types of large and small aprons 100B and 100C according to the size of the counter 8, and there is a problem similar to the case of the modified apron 100A. In addition, it is necessary to provide a mounting tool for detachably supporting the small apron 100C side, and this also causes a problem that the cost of the apron is increased.

Further, the contact portion R contacting the hanging portion 80 of the counter 8 is used regardless of whether the modified apron 100A is used or the large and small aprons 100B and 100C are used.
Must be formed in accordance with the surface shape of the hanging portion 80. Therefore, if a large number of unevenness or curved unevenness is formed on the hanging portion 80, the contact portion R must be formed in a shape following the unevenness. In addition, the formation of the apron is very expensive, and as a result, the apron 100A, 10
There has been a problem that attachment and detachment of 0B or the like becomes difficult. Therefore, there is a problem that the design of the counter 8 is restricted when the modified apron 100A and the large and small aprons 100B and 100C are used.

[0008] Even when the modified apron 100A is used or when the large and small aprons 100B, 100C are used, a gap can be formed between the hanging portion 80 of the counter 8 and the contact portion R of the aprons 100A, 100B. There was a problem that it did not look good.
