BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for installing a semi-embedded bathtub applied to a bathroom such as a middle or high-rise house.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A semi-embedded bathtub installation structure is one in which a waterproof floor pan having a washing room and a bathtub placement section integrally formed is installed in the bathroom, and then the bathtub is placed from above the waterproof floor pan into the bathtub placement section. There is a structure to drop it down and place it on the floor. In addition, in this type of semi-embedded bathtub, an apron is installed on the surface of the washroom to prevent soap and other items from entering the bathtub placement area and to improve the design. ing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, there are two types of semi-embedded bathtubs: outdoor hot water supply and indoor hot water supply, and the installation space of the bathtub body differs depending on each type. For this reason, conventionally, it has been necessary to individually manufacture waterproof floor pans having a structure corresponding to each type, which is one of the obstacles to cost reduction.

In order to solve such a problem, there are two types of waterproof floor pans having a larger installation space, that is, a waterproof floor pan having a bathtub mounting portion of a size capable of installing an outdoor hot water supply type bathtub. It can be used as a common floor pan, but in this case, when an indoor hot water bath tub is installed, a new problem arises, such as a gap between the apron and the washing room, which is dangerous when taking a bath. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is intended to be used when a plurality of types of semi-embedded bathtubs having different installation spaces are installed using a common waterproof floor pan. Even so, it is to provide a bathtub installation structure that can eliminate the gap between the apron of each bathtub and the washroom.

[0006]

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A structure for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 corresponding to an embodiment. In the present invention, the washing room 21 and its floor surface 21a are depressed. A waterproof floor pan 2 integrally formed with a step portion (tub placement portion) 22 is arranged in the bathroom, and the bathtub 1 is dropped into the step portion 22 of the floor pan 2 and arranged, and the bathtub 1 is washed. It is characterized by disposing a spacer 3 between the apron 11 attached to the surface on the side of 21 and the side wall surface 22a of the step portion 22 for concealing the gap A generated between them.

[0007]

[Function] When an indoor hot water bath tub is installed on a waterproof floor pan that has an installation space corresponding to an outdoor hot water bath tub, there is a gap between the bathtub apron and the washing area. By concealing it, it is possible to use one type of waterproof floor pan in common for two hot-water supply type bathtubs, outdoor and indoor.

[0008]

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of the essential part of the embodiment. The bathtub 1 is a semi-embedded type, and when it is installed in the waterproof floor pan 2, an apron 11 is attached to the surface positioned on the side of the washroom 21. The apron 11 has a structure that can be attached to and detached from the bathtub 1.

On the other hand, the waterproof floor pan 2 has a washing room 21 and a bathtub placing section 22 formed integrally with each other, and the bathtub placing section 22 has a structure in which it falls down on the floor surface 21a of the washing station. . Further, a groove 21b extending in parallel with the side wall 22a of the bathtub placing portion and having a uniform width is provided at a position near the bathtub placing portion 22 of the washing space 21. This groove 21b is for guiding the drainage of the washing place 21 to a drain hole (not shown). The waterproof floor pan 2 in this example is a semi-embedded bathtub for outdoor hot water supply type specifications.

The procedure for installing the bathtub 1 in the bathroom is as follows. First, after installing the waterproof floor pan 2 on the bathroom floor surface using leg bolts (not shown) or the like, from the top of the waterproof floor pan 2 1 is dropped into the bath tank placement section 22 and placed on the floor. At this time, when the bathtub 2 is an indoor hot water supply type, the apron 11 of the bathtub and the side wall surface of the bathtub placement section. A gap A is created between the groove 22a and 22a. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the spacer 3 is fitted between the apron 11 and the side wall surface 22a to conceal the gap A, thereby ensuring safety when taking a bath.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the spacer 3 is an L-shaped plastic molded product having a claw portion 3c that is hooked on the rising portion 21c of the groove of the waterproof floor pan 2, and its long side 3b. An elastic material 31 and a positioning member 32 are fixed to the inner surface of the, and in the state where the claw portion 3c is hooked on the rising portion 21c of the groove 21b by these members, the short side 3a is substantially horizontal, and The claw portion 3c is structured to be pressed toward the rising portion 21c with an appropriate force. Therefore, in this mounted state, the displacement of the spacer 3 and rattling do not occur. The elastic material 31 also functions as a heat insulating material for the bath 1.

Further, according to the above-described embodiments, the spacer 3 has a structure that can be detachably attached to the waterproof floor pan 2, and the apron 11 of the bathtub 1 is also detachable, so that There is also an advantage that the placing portion 22 can be easily cleaned. In the above embodiments of the present invention, an example in which the present invention is applied to the installation of two types of bathtubs of indoor and outdoor hot water supply systems has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more types with different installation spaces are provided. It is also applicable to the installation of this type of bathtub.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when a bathtub is installed in the waterproof floor pan, if a gap is created between the apron of the bathtub and the floor pan washing area, the apron Since a spacer is placed between the washing room and the washing place to cover the gap, it is possible to use a waterproof floor pan for an outdoor hot water bathtub in an indoor hot water bath, for example. In addition, it is possible to reduce the number of types of waterproof floor pans as compared with the conventional products, and as a result, it is possible to reduce costs.
