 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, various technically preferable limitations are attached. However, the scope of the present invention limits the present invention particularly in the following description. Unless otherwise stated, the present invention is not limited to these modes.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a bathtub lid according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic side view thereof. In the figure, the bathtub 1 is preferably placed on the floor of the bathtub unit 2. The bathtub 1 has an opening 12 having a substantially rectangular shape, and has edges 4 and 5 extending from the bathtub unit 2 along its short sides and edges 6 and 7 extending along its long sides. There is.

The bath lid 10 has a size that can close the opening 12 of the bath 1 and can be placed on the edges 4, 5, 6, 7. The bathtub lid 10 has a base end portion rotatably fixed to the edge portion 5 of the bathtub, and includes a first lid member 14 and a second lid member 16 that form a base end side. Specifically, the first lid member 14 is rotatably supported by a bearing provided on a pedestal arranged along the edge portion 5 of the bathtub 1 as shown in FIG.

The first lid member 14 and the second lid member 16 are connected to each other by a bent portion 18 formed in the lateral direction near the center of the bath lid 10. Here, the bathtub lid 10 is divided along the lateral direction in the vicinity of the center thereof to form a bent portion 18, and the bent portion 18 includes the first lid member 14 and the second lid member 16. The hinges 20 and 22 are rotatably connected to each other.

As shown in FIG. 2, in this bath lid 10, a cleaning nozzle 24 for cleaning the inside of the bath is exposed on the lower surface of the first lid member 14 on the base end side. Specifically, a water or hot water supply pipe 30 is guided from the outside to the back side of the pedestal provided at the edge 5 of the bathtub. The supply pipe 30 passes through the inside of the first lid member 14 and is connected to the cleaning nozzle 24. As shown schematically in FIG. 2, the cleaning nozzle 24 has the first lid member 14 so that the cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle or the cleaning water to which the detergent or the detergent is added sufficiently covers the inner wall of the bathtub. It protrudes considerably from the lower surface of the to form a convex portion as a whole.

Therefore, when the bathtub lid 10 is bent inward as shown by the chain line, it comes into contact with the lower surface of the second lid member 16 on the tip end side. In order to avoid this, a recessed portion 25 as shown in the figure is formed in a portion of the lower surface of the second lid member that interferes with the cleaning nozzle 24 when the bath lid 10 is bent. The concave portion 25 is formed by integrally molding the second lid member so as to form a concave portion having a size capable of sufficiently receiving the cleaning nozzle 24 which is a convex portion.
