It is possible to adopt the following format.

Next, to explain how the bathtub according to the present invention is used, warm water is stored in the bathtub body 1, and when taking a bath, the lighting device 4 attached to the bathtub body 1 turns on the lights in the bathroom. The light bulb 12.12a lights up, and the light bulb 1
The light 2.12a is refracted by the light scattering surface 32 of the diffuser cover 31 and illuminates the bathroom and the bathtub body 1 through the cover member 34. At this time, the light is further refracted in the bathtub body 1 due to the storage of hot water. During bathing, the water surface oscillates, so the refraction state of the light emitted from the lighting device 4 changes constantly, and the inner wall of the bathtub body l and the bather's body are illuminated in a fantastical manner.

When replacing the light bulb 12.12a after its service life has elapsed, the lid 29 attached to the front surface of the peripheral wall 2 of the bathtub body l is removed to open the replacement port 25.25a, and the light bulb 12.12a is replaced through the replacement port 25.25a. When a hand is inserted into the sheath 7 of the device 4 and the raising/lowering operation member 20.20a is pulled and operated, the illumination body 10.10a is transformed into a laid down state against the spring 16.16a, and in this state, the reception Remove the bulb 12.12a older than 13.13a and replace it with a new bulb 12.12a, and after the replacement, move the up/down operation member 20.20a to lower the lighting body 1.
0 and 1Oa are automatically returned to the original upright state by the action of the springs 16 and 16a, and after the work is completed, the watertight state of the lighting device 4 is maintained by attaching the lid 29.

In short, the present invention includes forming a window 3 at an appropriate location on the circumference of the bathtub body 1, attaching a lighting device 4 to the window 3, and covering the lighting device 4 with a transparent or translucent cover. Since it is coated in a watertight manner with Bugetsu 34, the bath+
A part of the peripheral wall 2 of the spout body 1 can also be used as a lighting device 4, and the light emitted from the lighting device 4 illuminates not only the interior of the bathroom but also the hot water stored in the bathtub body 1. The inside of the bathtub body 1 can be illuminated with a fantastic atmosphere due to the refraction effect of the stored hot water, and especially during bathing, the scene shakes and the refraction state of the light emitted from the lighting device 4 changes constantly. The inner wall of the bathtub body 1 and the body of the bather can be illuminated by the bundle of light in a swinging state, and such a scene can be seen through the cover member 34 from the rough area outside the bathtub body 1, so that it is very beautiful. It can create a mysterious beauty similar to that of an aquarium, and can partially dispel the image of a bland bathroom.

This allows the illumination body 10.10a to change its posture to a laid down state so that it can correspond to the exchange port 25.25a, and after the tensioning operation of the raising/lowering operation member 20.20a is released, the spring 16
．． By the action of 16a, the illumination body 10 and loa can be automatically returned to the normal standing state, and the window part 3
On the front side of the bathtub body 1 below is a lighting body 10,
The replacement port 25 of the light bulb 12.12a corresponds to the lying position of a.
Since the lid 29 is detachably attached to the exchange port 25, by removing the lid 29, the illumination body 10 whose posture has been changed to the lying state through the exchange port 25.25a, and the light bulb for lOa are formed. 12.12a can be easily replaced, and after the work is completed, the lighting device 4 can be maintained in a watertight state by attaching Ti (*29).

In the invention described in Clause 3, a scattering cover 31 having a light scattering surface 32 is placed on the outside of the illumination device 4, and then the light emitted from the light bulb 12.12a is diffused into the light of −31. Random refraction is applied to the diffused radiation surface 32, creating an atmosphere similar to that of Jumpria, and combined with the refraction caused by the storage of hot water in the bathtub body 1, the harmonization of water and light is achieved. Its practical effects are tremendous, such as being able to further enhance the fantastical and mysterious beauty.
