Traditionally wooden or stone bathtubs have been transformed into metal, enamel and plastic in modern times. Plastic tubs are currently the mainstream because they are easy to process and relatively inexpensive. On the other hand, inns and hotels, large baths consisting of wooden or stone tubs are the mainstream, especially open-air baths using natural stone or artificial stone.

Conventional stone bathtubs combine natural stone or artificial stone to create the atmosphere of a natural hot spring. A typical example of a stone tub is a marble tub. However, because the marble bathtub is hollow, construction costs are high and it is generally difficult to purchase it.

The problems of processing and construction costs for marble bathtubs also apply to marble tanks (garden ponds) and planters. This is because they have a structure similar to a bathtub, without storing hot water. Therefore, we examined a stone tank that can be used for a water tank, planter, bathtub, etc., using natural stone. Disclosure of the invention

As a result of the examination, an outer frame composed of a combination of multiple stone side plates, It consists of an inner tank made of synthetic resin or metal with the side and bottom integrally molded.Slits are engraved on the stone side plate, and this slit is inserted into the side of the inner tank made of synthetic resin or metal. We have developed a stone basin (also referred to as a slab assembly tank) with each stone side plate standing upright. According to the present invention, the outer frame constituting the external appearance is divided into a plurality of stone side plates for convenient transportation and storage, and the outer frame is easily assembled by inserting the stone side plates into the side surface of the inner tank. I do.

The outer frame may be either a closed structure or an open structure if the deviation of the contents does not matter. The outer frame of the closed structure can be partially or wholly curvilinear based on a polygonal outer shape in plan view. For the outer frame that is curved as a whole, it is better to reduce the curvature of each divided stone side plate and make the slit to be engraved straight. Instead of a stone side plate and a stone bottom plate described later, a metal side plate or a bottom plate made of metal, ceramics, synthetic resin, FRP, or a wooden block attached with a thin cypress on the surface of a wooden block can be equally used. The side plates and the bottom plate may be combined.

The inner tank made of synthetic resin (including FRP) or metal that integrally molds the side and bottom can be made thin because the outer frame is a strength member. In addition to the above, thin walls made of wood, glass, ceramics, etc. It can be configured as an inner tank. The side surface of the synthetic resin or metal inner tank may have a polygonal or curved shape or a combination as long as the slit engraved on the stone side plate has a continuous external shape in plan view. From the viewpoint of the convenience of assembly and the structural strength, it is preferable to arrange the structural elements with the sides arranged in a polygon in plan view. When the above-mentioned stone tub is used as a bathtub or a water tub, in order to protect the inner tub and to improve the sealing property, a stone bottom plate which fills the area surrounded by the stone side plate is combined with an outer frame to form an outer tub. Bottom plate is made of synthetic resin or metal With the stone side plate inserted into the side surface of the inner tank, it is inserted into the area surrounded by the stone side plate on the surface side of the synthetic resin or metal inner tank. As a result, the outer tank is held upright by the stone side plate forming the outer frame of the outer tank, and the structural stability is increased.

In order to increase the structural stability of the stone tub, an outer frame or outer tub is formed by adding a stone connecting portion for holding the butt stone side plates in the butt state. When the contents (hot water of the bathtub, water of the water tank, soil of the planter) are put in the stone tank, it is effective to keep the stone side plates abutting each other by the stone connecting part. In addition, the addition of the rubble that connects the joints can prevent the slab from tilting the side plates. For example, when a stone tub is used as a bathtub, the tumbled stone can be used as a stepping stone to enter the bathtub.

When the stone tub according to the present invention is used as a bathtub (stone tub), concretely, four stone side plates are used to form a substantially rectangular bathtub in plan view, and the mating surface of each stone side plate is set at 45 °. When the butted surfaces are notched at an angle of notched as a close contact surface, they are sealed. The maintenance of the butted state of the stone side plates by the stone connecting part realizes the simple construction of the stone bathtub by the combination. The stone connecting part constitutes a bathtub hakama stone, and a cutout similar to the butting angle of the contact surface formed by the butted stone side plates is provided in the bathtub hakama stone. Extending stone, by connecting the tub skirt stone cross, the tub skirt stone ^force? To prevent positional deviation from each other. In this stone tub, the slit provided on the stone side plate acts as a heat insulating layer, producing the effect of keeping the hot water stored in the tub warm. The integrally molded synthetic resin or metal inner tank also functions as a heat insulating layer and prevents water leakage from the butting of the stone side plate and stone bottom plate.

Synthetic resin or metal inner tanks have liquid or solid contents. Material and structure are selected according to the Specifically, when the contents are liquid, that is, when the stone tub is used as a bathtub or water tub (including garden ponds and rivers), the synthetic resin or metal inner tub is watertight to prevent water leakage. The material and structure have properties. On the other hand, if the contents are solid, that is, if the stone tank is used as the planter to fill the soil, the inner tank made of synthetic resin or metal shall be made of water-permeable material or structure in consideration of drainage. In addition, in order to improve drainage, a synthetic resin or metal inner tank may have a double bottom, the upper bottom may have water permeability, and a water storage section may be configured by the side and the lower bottom.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the stone bathroom is composed of a bathtub or washroom hakamaishi (4,5,6) arranged at the four corners and the middle of the long side, each connected by a rolled stone 7, and a bathtub or washroom hakamaishi at the four corners. It has a structure in which pillars 8 are erected on and 6 and covered with a roof 9 (see Fig. 10). Each of the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6 is a symmetrical product of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped 4 dog as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. As can be seen in Fig. 1, the adjacent hakamaishi 4, 5, and 6 are connected to each other by a rolled stone 7. Since all of the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6 are fitted with rolled stones 7 on orthogonal surfaces, it is expected that the rolled stones 7 prevent the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6 from shifting. Pillar holes 3 are drilled in the hakama stones 4 and 6 at the four corners, and pillars 8 are inserted as shown in Fig. 1 and fixed with bolts 11 and nuts 12. Since the drain hole 13 is provided in the pillar hole 3, rain that has entered the pillar hole 3 does not accumulate.

As shown in Fig. 1, the stone bathtub 2 is constructed by alternately butting two long stone side plates 14 and two short stone side plates 15 and fitting a stone bottom plate 16 on the bottom surface. It is constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped bathtub. The stone side plates 14 and 15 are held in notches 18 (see Figs. 2 and 3) provided in the bathtub hakama stones 4 and 5, with the contact surfaces 17 notched at 45 degrees facing each other. Is done. The upper edge of each stone side plate 14, 15 is rounded for safety. Furthermore, in this example, as can be seen in Fig. 1, the rolled stone 7 for connecting the bathtub hakama stones 4 and 5 is closely attached to the stone side plates 14 and 15, and the stone side plates 14 and 15 are more stably attached. It is standing. Above all, the rolled stone 7 facing the washing place 1 functions as a springboard for the stone tub 2. A gap is provided by separating the rubble from the stone side plate, and the hot water overflowing from the bathtub is May be drained from

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the stone bath tub 2 of this example is configured such that the stone side plates 14 and 15 are inserted so that the side surface 20 of the integrally formed FRP inner bath 19 is inserted into the slit 21. It is erected, and the stone bottom plate 16 is fitted from above toward the bottom surface 22 of the FRP inner tank 19 surrounded by the stone side plates 14 and 15. The relative positions of the stone side plates 14 and 15 can be easily determined by fitting the slits 21 into the side surfaces 20 of the FRP inner tank 19. The slit 21 and the side surface 20 of the FRP inner tank 19 form a heat insulating layer. Also, as is clear from FIG. 5, since the FRP inner tank 19 constitutes a closed vessel surrounding the stone bathtub 2, hot water leaks from the gap between the stone side plates 14 and 15 or the stone bottom plate 16. Even if it comes out, the hot water does not seep out of the stone bathtub 2. The FRP inner tank 19 is hidden by fitting the stone bottom plate 16 toward the bottom surface 22 from above to protect it, enhances the aesthetics of the stone bathtub 2, and does not impair luxury. .

In order to construct the open-air bath (outdoor stone bathroom) of this example, first, as shown in Fig. 7, the bathtub hakamaishi 4, 5 and the washing area hakamaishi 6 were placed on the leveled ground. Arrange them while linking them with the rubble 7. Is settling land, the tub side in the stone tub, washing place because hides with stone tiles and boulders, drainage surface treatment in addition to carrying out (not shown) it is unnecessary ^force?, It may be appropriately permeability processing. In the case of this example, the connection of the rolled stone 7 to each of the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6 is such that the end of the rolled stone 7 is fitted into the concave surface 10 provided on each of the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6. Therefore, it is only necessary to drop the hakama stones 4, 5, and 6 down from the upper side of the rolled stone 7.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, an FRP inner tank 19 is arranged on the side of the bathtub surrounded by the bathtub hakama stones 4, 5 and the rolled stone 7. Insert the side plates 14, 15 and the stone bottom plate (not shown). At this time, the positional relationship between the stone side plates 14 and 15 and the bottom plate made of FRP is defined in the inner tank 19 made of FRP, and the stone side plates 14 and 15 are butted by the notches 18 in the skirt stones 4 and 5 of the bathtub. Since the position is determined, the assembling of the stone bathtub 2 can be automatically determined. Sealing treatment is applied to the stone side plates 14 and 15 and the butted part of the stone side plates 14 and 15 and the stone bottom plate.

Thus, the stone tub 2 and the washing place 1 are completed. In this example, since it is an open-air bath, roof 9 (see Fig. 10) is constructed as a simple rain shield. For this reason, as shown in Fig. 9, first insert the pillars 8 into the pillar holes 3 drilled in the bathtub hakamaishi 4 and the washing area hakamaishi 6 arranged at the four corners, and use bolts 11 and nuts 12 respectively. Fix it (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4). The pillar 8 may have a beam 25 and a framing 26 in advance and may be in a four-piece configuration (see Fig. 1). It is easier to assemble in stages. At the top of each pillar 8, there is a tenon 28 corresponding to the last roof 9 (see Fig. 10).

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the beam 25 and the boss 26 are attached to the fixed column 8 and the columns 8 are assembled together. After that, the roof 9 is put on the tenon 28 (see Fig. 9) provided at the apex of each pillar 8, and stone tiles 23 and cobblestones 24 are lined up for the washing area 1, as shown in Fig. 10. The open-air bath is completed. The roof 9 is covered from above so that the pre-assembled one fits the tenon 28 (see Fig. 9) of each pillar 8. In consideration of safety, it is preferable to connect the roof and the pillar with bolts or the like. In place of stone tiles and cobblestones, a laying child may be laid. If there is any resistance to being seen completely from all sides, you can set up a wooden fence between the pillars or drop a curtain from the roof. The present invention can apply a stone bathtub to an existing indoor bathroom. Since there is already a washing room, only the Hakama Stone 30 is arranged and connected with the Rolled Stone 7, and only the Stone Bath 2 is constructed. The example shown in Fig. 1 and below is that each hakama stone 30 is provided with a drain hole 32 communicating with the gap so that hot water or hydraulic power does not accumulate in the gap between the wall surface 31 of the existing bathroom 29 and the bathtub hakama stone 30. However, the configuration of the other stone bathtub 2 is the same.

The present invention is applied to the above bathtub, but can also be applied to a garden pond (water tank) and a planter.

The water tanks shown in Fig. 12 and below have a circular shape in plan view, and each stone side plate 33 has a similar structure in which the circumference is divided at equal intervals. However, it is difficult to engrave curved slits on the stone side plates 33. Therefore, as can be seen in FIG. 13, the slit 21 of each stone side plate 33 is made straight, and the FRP inner tank 34 is made of a waterproofed regular 18-prism prism. The aquarium in this example is designed to be buried in the soil (see Fig. 12). As shown in Fig. 14, each stone side plate 33 has a long asymmetric inner surface 35 in the radial direction and a longer outer surface 36. Is a short sectional structure. Since the stone side plate 33 can be prevented from tilting outward by receiving the earth pressure through the side surface of the inner tank 34 made of FRP, no connecting portion is particularly provided in this example. In a large tank, the size of the bottom plates 37 and 38 is reduced by dividing the stone bottom plates 37 and 38. Stone bottom plates 37 and 38 affect the aesthetics when viewed from above, so it is advisable to add a pattern to the surface or change the color.

The blunter shown in FIG. 15 et seq. Uses a hollow resin side plate 39 having a wavy horizontal cross section in order to reduce the weight, which is similar in appearance to the stone bathtub described above. However, the slits 21 are each linear. In this example, in order to increase versatility, each hollow resin side plate 39 has a similar structure, and a planter with a different volume can be freely used depending on the size of the FRP inner tank 40. It is possible to make. Since the planter of this example fills the soil as a content, each hollow resin side plate 39 has a cross-sectional structure in which the inner surface 35 is shorter and the outer surface 36 is longer. Since the hollow resin side plate 39 affects the aesthetics of the blunter, the surface may be patterned or the color may be changed. Unlike the above examples, the bottom plate is not used in consideration of drainage of the soil content. In addition, the bottom surface of the FRP inner tank 40 has a double bottom, a large number of drain holes 41 are provided in the upper bottom 44, and a water reservoir 46 is provided between the upper bottom 44 and the lower bottom 45. In the planter of this example, the butting of the hollow resin side plates 39, 39 constituting the respective surfaces is held by the cylindrical connecting portions 43 at the corners, and the whole is supported by the pedestals 42, 42. The disassembly after assembly is prevented by fitting the hollow resin side plate 39 and the connecting portions 43, 43 integrally into the pedestal 42. Industrial applicability

The present invention provides an inexpensive and easy-to-use stone tub that can be used, for example, as a luxurious bathtub, water tank, or planter using stone. It is difficult to cut rough stones to construct a tank, and it is relatively easy to process rough stones into boards or square dogs. Can be. In addition, the construction in which the stones processed into the plate shape or the rectangular dog are combined also reduces the construction cost. Thus, when the present invention is applied to a stone bathtub or a stone bath, the cost is significantly lower than that of a conventional stone bathtub or a stone bath.

Regarding bathtubs, the problem of disposal of bathtubs that have exceeded their useful life has been increased in recent years. Plastic shiki, which has spread from the viewpoint of productivity, is difficult to reuse, and the location for discarding is limited. I will. For this reason, metal or enameled bathtubs are used in Europe. From this point of view, stone bathtubs or bathrooms to which the present invention is applied do not need to be disposed of anywhere.For example, stone has the advantage that it can be crushed and reused as civil engineering materials. It is very promising as a substitute for a bathtub.
