Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention improves the effectiveness of the bathtub by forming recesses in the structure of the bathtub, especially in the peripheral wall of the bathtub, and providing pockets for storing soap, shampoo, and other bath supplies. Try to utilize it.

Generally, bathrooms, especially domestic bathrooms, are formed within a limited space within a home, and since a bathtub is installed within that small space, the area occupied by the sink is inevitably small.

Conventionally, in this type of bathroom, soap, shampoo, and other bath supplies have been placed in a container for storing soap and the like, which is formed separately from the bathtub, and placed at an appropriate position in the sink.

Therefore, a space is required within the area of the sink to place the container, so the area within the sink that can be effectively used by a person becomes even narrower.

The inventor came up with this idea in view of these problems.

That is, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bathtub in which a pocket for storing bath supplies such as soap is provided in the peripheral wall. It is an object of this invention to provide a bathtub in which the sink can be used effectively for this purpose, and the purpose of this invention is to provide a bathtub in which bath supplies are not damaged by water.

Therefore, in this invention, a recessed part 2 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the bathtub 1, and a draining bottom 3 that communicates with the outside is provided at the bottom of the recessed part 2 to form a storage pocket 5 for bath supplies 4. The structure of the bathtub is characterized by:

Embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of this invention. This bathtub 1 consists of an inner tank 1a and an outer tank 1b that covers the inner tank 1a. A heat insulating material 6 such as polyurethane resin foam is filled in between.

A concave portion 2 that is open toward the outside is formed in the outer circumferential wall of the outer tank 1b.

A draining bottom 3 communicating with the outside is provided at the bottom of the concave portion 2.

Specifically, a corrugated mounting surface is formed at the bottom of the concave portion 2, and elongated holes 7 are provided at each valley of the corrugation, thereby forming the bottom into a slatted shape. There is.

Furthermore, a drain pipe 8 opening in the peripheral wall of the outer tank 1b below the concave portion 2 is exposed to the lower surface of the bottom.

k, a recessed part 2 and a draining bottom 3 formed at the bottom of the recessed part 2;
A storage pocket 5 for bath supplies 4 is formed.

In addition, 9 in the figure is a water shield, which is formed protrudingly on the upper edge of the recessed part 2, and this allows the flow of hot water overflowing from the bathtub 1 to be directed left and right at the upper edge of the recessed part 2. , to prevent hot water from flowing into the storage pocket 5.

Further, in the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a projecting edge rising upward along the outer tub 1b, and this projecting edge 10 prevents the bath supplies vIJ4 stored in the storage pocket 6 from spilling out from inside the pocket 5.

Thus, by storing bath supplies 4 such as soap in the storage pocket 5, there is no need to install a soap container or the like in the sink 11, so the sink 11 can be used widely.

Further, since the hot water adhering to the bath supplies 4 is discharged to the outside of the bathtub 1 through the draining bottom 3 and the drain pipe 8, the soap does not become soggy due to the hot water and the shampoo container etc. are not soiled with grime.

Furthermore, hot water overflowing from the bathtub 1 can be prevented from entering the storage pocket 5.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of this invention.

In this embodiment, a frame body 12 constituting the storage pocket 5 is prepared in advance.
is formed separately from the bathtub 1, and then the outer panel 1 of the bathtub 1 is formed.
A storage pocket 5 is formed on the periphery of the bathtub 1 as a double structure by removably fitting the frame 12 into a hole 13 provided in the bathtub 1.

In this way, the storage pocket 5 may be configured such that the frame body 12 constituting the pocket 5 is formed separately from the bathtub 1, or may be formed integrally with the bathtub as shown in the above embodiment. good.

At this time, the water shield 9 is also formed integrally with the frame 12.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the present invention can be applied to either a type of bath in which the bathtub 1 is installed embedded in the bathroom, or a type of bath in which the bathtub is simply installed in the washing room.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the draining bottom 3 is formed by providing a plurality of holes 17 along the undulating valleys of the bottom surface.

A third embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

In this embodiment, the front surface of the wavy draining bottom 3 is opened to the outside, thereby communicating the draining bottom 3 with the outside of the bathtub 1 at the troughs 3a of the waveform.

In this case, the hot water dripping down from the bath supplies flows along the valley 3a of the draining bottom 3 and is discharged outside the bathtub 1.

The upper surface of the drainer bottom 3 is formed to be higher on the outside and downward at the rear, but the valley 3a is lowered on the outside and downward at the front, so that the bath supplies 4 in the storage pocket 5 do not fall out. On the other hand, the bathtub is designed so that the hot water can naturally flow out of the bathtub 1.

As explained above, according to this invention, a recess is formed in the peripheral wall of the bathtub, and a storage pocket is formed at the bottom by providing a drainage bottom that communicates with the outside.
Since bath supplies such as soap can be stored directly in the bathtub, there is no need for a soap container, and the sink can be used widely and effectively.

Furthermore, according to this invention, the hot water that drips from the bath supplies stored in the storage pocket is appropriately discharged outside the bathtub through the drainer bottom, so there is no chance of soaking the bath supplies or staining them with grime. do not have.

Furthermore, according to this invention, since the storage pocket is formed integrally with the bathtub, its position is fixed and soap etc. can be kept in the same position at all times, making the bathtub extremely practical. can be provided.
