By the way, in the structure in which the foam plate 9 is removed from the blower body 5, there is a problem that bubbles easily leak between the foam plate 9 and the blower body 5.

Further, in the past, the packing 13 interposed between the bath 1 and the fumarolic body 5 often sticks out from the outer periphery of the fumarolic body 5 when the fumarolic body 5 is fastened and fixed with the nut 11. It is not preferable in terms of function.

Further, in the past, the thickness of the packing 13 is required to be 2 to 3 mm in order to prevent water leakage, and therefore the gap H between the fumarolic portion main body 5 and the bath 1 becomes large, resulting in poor cleanability and appearance. It will be.

Further, if there is a protrusion for preventing slippage or the like on the bottom surface of the bathtub 1, it is difficult to prevent water leakage, and there is a problem that the location where the fumarolic portion main body 5 is mounted is limited to the flat portion.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems,
The main purpose of this is to make it possible to remove the foam so that it is possible to easily deal with clogging and the like, but in doing so, to prevent the leakage of bubbles and water leakage. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for the fumarolic portion of a bathtub that can be used.

Another object of the present invention is to improve the appearance while preventing water leakage between the bath and the fumarolic portion, and yet another object is to provide a bottom surface of the bath. Even if there are some protrusions on the inside, it is to be able to attach the fumarolic portion with high watertightness.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In the fusible part and mounting structure of a bathtub according to the present invention, the fusible part main body 5 is mounted in the opening 3 formed in the bottom surface of the bathtub 1 via the first sealing means 4, It is characterized in that a foam body 7 for ejecting bubbles is attached to the part main body 5 via a second sealing means 6.

By attaching the foam 7 for jetting, the maintenance can be easily performed by removing the foam 7 from the body 5 while leaving the body 5 still attached to the bath 1 when the foam 7 is maintained. However, by sealing the foam 7 with the second sealing means 6 with respect to the fumarolic portion main body 5, it is possible to eliminate the leakage of air bubbles and water leakage.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a bath apparatus, in which the blower unit 2 is provided at a plurality of locations on the bottom of the bath 1, and the air switch 18 is operated by operating the operation switch 17 to generate air through the pipe 19. Bubbles can be ejected from the fumes 2 into the bath 1.

FIG. 2 shows the details of the fumarolic portion 2. The fumarolic portion main body 5 is inserted from above into the opening 3 formed in the bottom surface of the bathtub 1, and the nut 11 is screwed into the male screw portion 10 of the fumarolic portion main body 5. The peripheral portion of the opening 3 of the bath 1 is sandwiched between the nut 11 and the flange 12 of the body 5 of the fusible portion so that the body 5 of the fusible portion 1
It can be attached to. In such cases,
An O-ring 15 as a first sealing means 6 is arranged above the peripheral portion of the opening 3, and a packing 13 is arranged on the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the opening 3 between the bathtub 1 and the main body 5 of the fumarolic portion. However, a reliable seal is provided so that the hot water in the bathtub 1 does not leak. The O-ring 15 is housed in a housing groove 16 as shown in FIG. 2D so that a part of the O-ring 15 projects upward and projects inward of the opening 3. The shape of the storage groove 16 can be changed as shown in FIG. 2 (e). By accommodating the O-ring 15 in the accommodating groove 16 in this manner, the deformation of the O-ring 15 is absorbed in the gap between the accommodating groove 16 and the fumarolic portion main body 5,
The O-ring 15 does not protrude from the flange 12 and the appearance is not deteriorated. Also, the gap H between the flange 12 and the bathtub 1 is almost eliminated, and cleaning or the like can be easily performed. Further, even if there is a slight protrusion such as a slip stopper on the bottom surface of the bathtub 1, the O-ring 15 is elastically deformed inwardly in the opening 3 and strongly elastically contacts the fumarolic portion main body 5 to perform a reliable seal. Even if there is a protrusion on the bottom surface, the fumarolic portion 2 can be attached.

A foam body 7 is attached to the main body 5 of the fumarolic portion.
Is composed of a foam plate 9 made of a porous synthetic resin foam and a foam plate case 14 in which the foam plate 9 is fixed with an adhesive or the like with a good sealing property.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a pair of recesses 20 are formed in the foam plate case 14 at diametrically opposed positions, and a jig is inserted into these recesses 20 to rotate the foam plate case 14. By doing so, the foam plate case 14 can be screwed into or removed from the fumarolic body 5. Then, the O as the second sealing means 6 is provided between the foam plate case 14 and the blower unit body 5.
The ring 21 is inserted and disposed in a circumferential groove 22 formed in the upper portion of the foam plate case 14. In this way, the O-ring 21 as the second sealing means 6 is attached to the main body 5 of the fumarolic portion.
By attaching the foam body 7 for ejecting bubbles through the foam, the fumes main body 5
The foam plate 9 can be easily maintained by removing the foamed body 7 from the fumarolic portion main body 5 while still attached to the bathtub 1. Sealing with the ring 21 eliminates air bubble leakage and water leakage. In addition, the O-ring 21 is attached to the foam plate 9
The upper part of the fumarolic portion 5 and the foam plate case 1
It is possible to reduce the residual water during the period 4. The foam plate case 14 as a whole or the upper part thereof may be formed of an elastic body in order to eliminate the formation of the groove between the air blower main body 5 and the foam plate case 14.

[Advantage of the Invention] In summary, according to the present invention, the body of the gas ejector is attached to the opening formed in the bottom surface of the bathtub via the first sealing means, and the air is ejected to the body of the gas ejector via the second sealing means. Because the foam body is attached, the foam body can be removed from the main body of the fumes while the foam body is still attached to the bathtub for maintenance of the foam body, and maintenance can be performed easily. Since the second sealing means is provided between the body of the part and the foam, there is an advantage that leakage of air bubbles and water leakage can be eliminated.

The foam body is composed of a foam plate and a foam plate case to which the foam plate is fixed. By mounting the foam plate case by screwing it into the main body of the gas ejection unit, the foam body can be easily removed and sealed by screwing. You can improve the property.

Further, since the second sealing means is disposed on the upper part of the foam plate case, it is possible to reduce the residual water between the main body of the gas ejection part and the foam case.

Further, the first sealing means is formed by the O-ring and is housed in the housing groove in the peripheral portion of the opening, so that the O-ring does not stick out from the flange of the main body of the fumarolic portion and the appearance is improved. The gap between the tub and the bathtub is kept small, cleaning is easy, and the O-ring elastically deforms in the diametrical direction to make elastic contact with the main body of the fumarolic section, ensuring sealing performance and even if there is a protrusion on the bottom of the bathtub. The fumes can be attached.
