Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Industrial application field This invention temporarily stores the large amount of hot water that overflows from the bathtub during bathing, and allows the stored hot water to be easily returned to the bathtub after the person gets out of the bath. Regarding a bathtub with an auxiliary tank.

Prior Art Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-92590, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-80090, etc., a large amount of hot water overflowing from a bathtub during bathing is temporarily stored, and this hot water is used as hot water. A bathtub with an auxiliary tank that can be returned to the bathtub has been devised.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional example described above, it is easy to allow the large amount of hot water that overflows from the bathtub during bathing to be naturally stored in the auxiliary tank, but it is difficult to return the hot water to the bathtub. It's not that easy because the tub has to be pumped out one by one.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention aims to provide a bathtub with a tank that allows hot water to be easily returned into the bathtub from an auxiliary tank.

Means for Solving the Problems Means for solving the problems described above will be explained below using FIGS. 1 and 2, which correspond to embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tank-equipped bathtub of this invention has an auxiliary tank body 11 swingably attached to the tank wall 2 of the bathtub 1.
This auxiliary tank body 11 has a bathtub 1 on a part of the upper surface.
An overflow port 12 is provided to store hot water overflowing from the tank.

Furthermore, a backflow prevention plate 13 is provided protruding from the overflow port 12 on the tank wall 2 side of the bathtub 1.
It is desirable to provide a backflow port 14 on the side of the bathtub for returning hot water to the bathtub.

Effect When taking a bath, if there is a lot of hot water, if someone enters the bathtub 1.
A large amount of hot water overflows from the tank wall 2 and is automatically stored in the auxiliary tank body 11 from the overflow port 12.

When the hot water is returned to the bathtub 1 after becoming a small bath, when the auxiliary tank main body 11 is swung and raised horizontally, the hot water is returned to the bathtub from the backflow port 14 on the side of the overflow port 12. At this time, hot water does not flow out from the overflow port 12 because it is dammed by a backflow prevention plate 13. Therefore, even while taking a bath, overflowing hot water can be returned to the bathtub 1 without splashing the hot water onto the person.

Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a bathtub with a bathtub, and desirably a notch 3 is provided in the upper part of one tub wall 2 so as to be slightly lower than the upper end of the other tub walls. An auxiliary tank body 11 is hung from the tank wall 2 with the notch 3 in a swingable manner by utilizing the properties of a plastic hinge 18. An overflow port 12 is provided approximately in the center of the auxiliary tank body 11 at a position corresponding to the notch 3 described above. This overflow port 12 is separated from other parts by a pair of left and right partition plates 15 formed on the upper part of the auxiliary tank body 11, and the overflow port 12 is provided on the tank wall 2 side of the bathtub 1 to prevent backflow. A plate 13 is provided protrudingly.

A gap is provided between the backflow prevention plate 13 and the opposing side plate 16 of the auxiliary tank body 11, through which hot water overflowing from the bathtub 1 is stored. Then pour hot water into the bathtub 1
When returning the hot water to the inside, the backflow prevention plate 13 dams up the hot water to prevent it from returning from the overflow port 12.

A backflow port 14 is provided on the side of the overflow port 12 to return hot water to the bathtub. A lid 17 is attached to the backflow port 14 to prevent the hot water from cooling down, and a plastic hinge 18 is used to automatically open the lid 17 when the hot water is returned to the bathtub.

The auxiliary tank constructed in this way is normally suspended from the tank wall 2, and hot water overflowing from the bathtub 1 is accommodated in the bathtub 1 through the notch 3 and the overflow port 12.

An overflow port 12 is provided at a position corresponding to the notch 3 described above. This overflow port 12 is separated from other parts by a pair of left and right partition plates 15 formed at the top of the auxiliary tank body 11, and this overflow port 12
A backflow prevention plate 13 is provided protruding from the tank wall 2 side of the bathtub 1.

When returning the hot water to the bathtub, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle 19 provided at the lower end of the auxiliary tank body 11 is held and swung to tilt the auxiliary tank body 11 until it becomes almost horizontal. The hot water then flows out from the backflow port 14 and is returned into the bathtub 1. At that time, the hot water was
The water does not return from the overflow port 12 because it is blocked by the backflow prevention plate 13. Therefore, even if a person is taking a bath, the hot water can be returned to the bathtub 1 without having to come out of the bath.

In the above description, the auxiliary tank main body 11 is suspended by the plastic hinge 18, but it can also be suspended by means such as a hinge or a hook.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of this invention, in which the bathtub 1
A mounting frame 21 having a U-shaped cross section is attached to the upper surface of the mounting frame 21, and an overflow portion 22 with a reduced height is formed on one side of the mounting frame 21. An auxiliary tank body 11' is suspended from the outer surface of this overflow part 22 by a plastic hinge 18'. 23 is a clamping plate installed vertically inside the bathtub 1 of the overflow part 22, and 24 is the overflow port 1 of the auxiliary tank body 11'.
There is a lid attached to 2' that can be opened and closed.

The position of the overflow port 12, etc. can be determined as appropriate, taking into consideration the installation location of the bathtub 1, etc.

Effects of the invention The bathtub with an auxiliary tank of this invention is constructed as described above, so that the large amount of hot water that overflows from the bathtub during bathing can be temporarily stored, and after a person gets out of the bath, the auxiliary tank body can be swung. , the stored hot water can be easily returned to the bathtub.

In addition, since the overflow opening is dammed by a backflow prevention plate and no hot water flows out, the overflowing water can be returned to the bathtub without splashing the hot water on the person taking the bath.
