Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a bathtub equipped with a small article storage body for storing bath supplies such as soap and shampoo, and in particular, the small article storage body is joined to the bath body separately from the apron plate. Regarding bathtubs.

Conventionally, various bathtubs equipped with this type of accessory storage have been proposed, but in all of these, a recess is formed by press molding or the like in an apron plate that is connected to the bathtub body via foamed urethane, and the recess is Most of them were used as storage bodies for small items, or holes were punched out and storage bodies were fitted into the spaces.

However, apron plates are generally expensive because they are made of chromium alloys such as stainless steel plates that are decorated using an electrical coloring method, and secondary processing or punching is not required in the processing process. However, there have been problems in that the process has become complicated, or the yield has decreased, resulting in higher costs.

This invention was devised in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to create an accessory storage body for storing bathing supplies separately from the apron board without performing secondary processing on the apron board as described above. body forming, thereby reducing the processing steps of the apron plate,
The present invention also aims to provide a bathtub that can improve yield and reduce the cost of apron plates.

This invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure indicates a bathtub body made of stainless steel plate or the like, and an upper edge flange 3 protruding approximately horizontally outward is formed on the upper edge of the circumferential side wall 2 of the bathtub body 1. An edge piece 4 is provided hanging from the periphery of the upper edge flange 3. In addition, this bathtub body 1
An apron plate 5 is disposed on the circumferential side wall 2 of the tank.

The apron plate 5 is formed by immersing a chromium alloy, for example, a stainless steel plate in an aqueous solution of chromic acid and sulfuric acid and applying electricity to form a colored layer made of an oxide film.
Its upper edge is configured to abut against the upper edge flange 3 and the back surface of the edge piece 4 of the bathtub body 1.

At one end of the apron plate 5, small article storage bodies 6 formed of synthetic resin or stainless steel plates are arranged adjacent to each other.

This accessory storage body 6 has a recess 7 formed therein to store bath supplies such as soap and shampoo.
A shelf 8 is arranged in this recess 7. If necessary, a door, a storage box for small items, etc. may be formed in the recess 7 according to the specifications.

The apron plate 5 and the accessory storage body 6 configured in this way are arranged side by side on the front of the bathtub body 1 as shown in FIG. The gap 9 between the body 6 and the body 6 is filled with a resin such as foamed urethane 10 as a heat insulating material, and the body 6 is tightly and firmly bonded to the body 6.

In the above embodiment, the case where the accessory storage bodies 6 are arranged adjacent to the ends of the apron plate 5 and joined together has been explained as an example, but this invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, it may be placed between the apron plates 6, or above or below the apron plates, or it may not necessarily be on the front of the tank, but may be on the side. , the arrangement specifications are arbitrary.

As mentioned above, this idea consists of separately forming the apron plate and the accessory storage body, which are arranged on the front and side walls of the circumferential side wall of the bathtub body. Since it is configured to be joined to the bathtub body, there is no need to form recesses or punched spaces in the expensive apron board, making it easy to manufacture.As a result, the yield of the apron board is improved and costs can be reduced. Moreover, there is no need for a separate gluing operation for the accessory storage body, and as a result, manufacturing is very easy.
