Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 〔Technical field〕 The present invention relates to a bathtub apron mounting structure.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower part of the flange 2' of the bathtub body 1' and the apron 9' were connected by bolts 16 and nuts 17, so after the bathtub was installed, the apron was 9 cannot be removed easily, so when washing the area around the bathtub, place hose 1 under the apron 9 as shown in Figure 3.
8 and was cleaning with a jet of water.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional example, and an object of the present invention is to enable the apron to be easily removed so that the lower part of the apron can be thoroughly washed.

[Disclosure of invention]

In the present invention, a substantially U-shaped apron support 3 is attached to the lower part of the flange 2 of the bathtub body 1, and an apron holder 4 is attached to the lower part of the outer surface of the bathtub body 1. An upper flange 7 of the apron 9 has a substantially U-shaped cross section with a substantially U-shaped fitting groove 6 cut out, and an upper flange 7 and a lower flange 8 extending from the back side of the upper and lower edges.
is fitted into the apron support 3, a through hole 10 is bored in the lower flange 8 of the apron 9, and an insertion head 13 is provided on the receiving flange 12 of the apron fixture 11.
is inserted into the through hole 10, the threaded rod 14 provided under the receiving collar 12 is delivered into the fitting groove 6 of the apron holder 4, and the wing nut 1 is screwed onto the threaded rod 14.
5 is fastened and fixed to the apron holder 4, and the apron can be easily attached and detached by loosening the wing nut.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 5 shows the bathtub body 1 in an inverted state, and a flange 2 is provided around the upper surface of the bathtub body 1, and legs 19 are provided at the four corners of the lower surface. Reference numeral 4 denotes an apron holder, which is attached to the leg 19 with bolts 20 and nuts 21 as shown in FIG. A groove 6 is cut out. 3 is a substantially U-shaped apron support, and the slit groove 2
Insert the lower part of flange 2 into 2 and tighten the tapping screw 2.
It is fixed at 3. The back surface of the apron 9 is concave, and an upper flange 7 and a lower flange 8 are formed on the upper and lower edges, respectively. A buffer bolt 25 to which rubber 24 is attached is tightened with a nut 26. On the other hand, a through hole 10 is bored in the lower collar 8 in correspondence with the apron holder 4, and protective rubber 27 is attached to both sides of the hole 10. Reference numeral 11 denotes an apron fixing device, in which a receiving collar 12 is provided on a threaded rod 14;
A tapered insertion head 13 is formed on the receiving collar 12, and a wing nut 15 is screwed onto the threaded rod 14 through a washer 28.

Thus, the apron 9 is attached to the bathtub body 1 as shown in FIGS. 11a, b, c, and d. That is, the buffer bolt 26 portion of the upper collar 7 of the apron 9 is pushed into the apron support 3 and fitted, and the insertion head 13 of the apron fixture 11 is inserted into the through hole 10 while the hem of the apron 9 is slightly pulled.
Loosen the wing nut 15, fit the threaded rod 14 into the fitting groove 6, tighten the wing nut 15 to press the buffer bolt 25 to the apron support 3, and connect the receiving flange 12 and wing nut 15 to the horizontal plane. The apron 9 is fixed by sandwiching the apron 5. On the other hand, to remove the apron 9, all one has to do is put one's hand under the apron 9 and loosen the wing nut 15.

Note that there are holes 29 on the top and bottom of the apron support 3.
A hole 29 or a groove 30 is provided, so that when the wing nut 15 is tightened, the upper and lower ends of the buffer bolt 25 will fit into the hole 29 and the groove 3.
0 so that the upper part of the apron 9 does not come off.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, in short, the apron fixing tool can be pulled out from the fitting groove by simply loosening the wing nut, the apron can be easily removed, and the lower part of the apron can be easily washed. It has the advantage of being able to
