  Next, referring to FIG. 4 and FIGS. 6 to 9, the procedure (a) to (d) for assembling the flat hollow member (20) and the handle (1) to the bath lid body (10) described above will be described. The attachment structure will be described.

  (A) As shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 7, the handle (1) is placed on the base member (30). When the base end side of the insertion portion (3) of the handle (1) is aligned with both notches (34) of the protrusion (35) of the base member (30), the base member is placed in the elongated hole (4). The pin (37) of (30) is inserted, and the retaining portion (5) is disposed outside the protrusion (38). FIG. 6 shows a state where the intermediate receiving member (50) is further placed.

  (B) As shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 7, the intermediate receiving member (50) is placed on the base member (40) on which the handle (1) is placed. As shown in FIG. 9, the upper surface and bottom plate portion (31) of the protrusion (35) of the base member (30), the lower surface of the flat plate portion (51) of the intermediate receiving member (50), and the guide protrusion (56). And the end surface of the flat plate portion (51) of the intermediate receiving member (50) (the inner peripheral surface of the through hole (52)). Fits flush. Further, the guide protrusion (56) of the intermediate receiving member (50) is fitted into the notch (34), and the pin (37) is fitted into the cylindrical part (55). A slit-shaped space (R) surrounded by the upper surface of the bottom plate portion (31) of the base member (30), the lower surface of the flat plate portion (51) of the intermediate receiving member (50), and the guide protrusion (56) is formed. Is done. This slit-shaped space (R) corresponds to the handle insertion hole in the present invention and serves as a slide space for the insertion portion (3) of the handle (1). Moreover, since the cylindrical part (55) of the intermediate receiving member (50) is inserted into the long hole (4) of the handle (1), the insertion part (3) can slide in the long hole (4). When the insertion portion (3) is further slid inward, the retaining portion (5) becomes the end surface of the flat plate portion (51) of the intermediate receiving member (50), the end surface of the guide protrusion (56), and the base. It comes into contact with the outer side surface of the projection (38) of the sleeve member (30) to prevent it from coming off. Further, the oval ridge (35) of the base member (30) and the misalignment prevention ridge (57) of the intermediate receiving member (50) are parallel to each other, so that they come into contact with the base member (30). Misalignment of the intermediate receiving member (50) is prevented.

  (C) As shown in FIG. 7, the cover plate (11) is placed on the intermediate receiving member (50). As shown in FIG. 8, the oval protrusion (54) of the intermediate receiving member (50) is inserted into the through hole (12) of the cover plate (11) and the eight cylinders of the base member (30).

The lower narrow pressure piece (32) of the base member (30) supports the lower surface of the lid plate (11).

  (D) As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the cover member (40) is placed on the cover plate (11), and the cylindrical fitting male part (43) of the cover member (40) and the cylindrical shape of the base member (30). The fitting female part (33) is strongly fitted. Since the clearance between these members is set to be extremely small, the fitting state is maintained unless the members are pulled apart strongly, and the upper pinching piece (42) of the cover member (40) and the lower pinching pressure of the base member (30) are maintained. The flat hollow member (20) is fixed to the lid plate (11) by the piece (32) sandwiching the peripheral edge of the through hole (12) of the lid plate (11). And while the lower end surface of the recessed part (45) of a cover member (40) contact | abuts to the upper surface of the flat plate part (51) of a middle receiving member (50), the internal peripheral surface of a recessed part (45), and a middle receiving member (50) The inner peripheral surface of the through hole (52) and the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion (35) of the base member (30) are adapted to be flush with each other, thereby sealing the inside of the hollow member (20). Moreover, the said recessed part (45) becomes deep deeply and the handle attachment recessed part in this invention is formed in a bottomed structure.

  In the assembled state described above, the cover plate (11) is not only sandwiched between the base member (30) and the cover member (40), but is also lowered in a wider area by the flat plate portion (51) of the intermediate receiving member (50). The insertion portion (3) of the handle (1) is disposed below the intermediate receiving member (50). For this reason, when the handle (1) is lifted, the lid plate (11) is lifted directly through the intermediate receiving member (50), and can be reliably lifted. And the situation that the handle (1) directly pushes up the cover member (40) and the cover member (40) is detached can be surely prevented. Furthermore, since the load on the bath lid (S) is dispersed by interposing the intermediate receiving member (50) between the base member (30) and the cover member (40), the handling operation is stable and easy to use. Become.

  Moreover, while providing a handle attachment recessed part on the upper surface side of the flat hollow member (20) provided in the penetrating state in the cover plate (11), the handle (1) is attached to the aspect straddling this recessed part. For example, in a state where the bath lid is installed in the bathtub, the handle (1) can be gripped without difficulty from the upper surface side of the bath lid. Moreover, the fingertip can be inserted from any direction on both sides of the handle (1), and the grip (1) can be reliably gripped. In this way, the handle (1) can be gripped from any direction on the upper surface of the bath lid, so the handle (1) can be fully utilized and handling operations such as attaching / detaching the bath lid to / from the bathtub and transporting operations can be performed smoothly. It can be carried out.

  In addition, when the handle (1) is left unattended, the handle (1) fits in the handle mounting recess, so that the handle (1) does not protrude beyond the surface of the bath lid more than necessary and a good aesthetic appearance is obtained. In addition, the handle (1) does not get in the way, the plurality of bath lid bodies (10) can be superposedly stacked, and storage and storage can be performed efficiently.

  In particular, the present embodiment is arranged at a height that does not protrude from the upper surface of the grip portion (2) and the flat hollow member (20) of the handle (1), so that the handle (1) is attached to the bath lid body (10). The fitting is further improved, and a better aesthetic appearance can be obtained, and the overlaying operation and the like can be performed more smoothly.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the handle (1) is formed of a flexible resin having elasticity and both sides are slidably provided, when gripping the grip (2) of the handle (1), Since both sides of the handle (1) are pulled out, and the handle (1) is pulled out of the handle insertion hole (R) and deformed into an arch shape as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The fingertip can be smoothly moved to the side, and the gripping operation can be performed more easily and reliably. Moreover, the sliding direction is accurately guided by the guide protrusion (56) of the inner receiving member (50) and the cylindrical portion (55) inserted into the elongated hole (4) of the handle (1). When gripping (1), the handle (1) slides smoothly, and the grip (1) can be gripped more easily.

  The bath lid with a handle of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications within the scope described in claim 1 are allowed. Some modifications are shown below.

  In the flat hollow member (20), the handle mounting concave portion is not necessarily limited to one formed by combining the cover member (40), the intermediate receiving member (50), and the base member (30) in a flush manner. For example, the through-hole (52) of the intermediate receiving member (50) and the protrusion (50) of the base member (30) are formed at a position retracted in the outer edge direction, and the recess (45) of the cover member (40) is passed through the through-hole. You may form in the length which covers a hole (52) and a protrusion (35). In this case, the handle insertion hole (R) is a handle insertion hole provided between the intermediate receiving member (50) and the base member (30) if a recess is provided in the recess (45) of the cover member (40). (R) can be opened facing the handle mounting recess. Of course, the handle mounting concave portion in the present invention is provided on the upper surface side of the flat hollow member (20) in the assembled state, and the upper plate portion (41) is placed downward as a part of the cover member (40). It is not limited to what was dented in and formed the surrounding wall. The peripheral wall of the handle mounting recess may be formed integrally with the base member (30) or the intermediate receiving portion (50).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the bottomless handle attachment recessed part (45) is formed in the upper board part (41) of a cover member (40), this invention is not restricted only to it, The upper board of a cover member A bottomed recess without a hole may be formed in the part, and the bottomed recess may be configured as a handle mounting recess. In this case, the strength can be improved by joining the bottom wall of the handle mounting recess to the bottom wall of the base member.

  It is sufficient that the intermediate receiving member (50) is present at least in a portion where the handle insertion hole (R) is formed, and the case where an intermediate receiving member other than the annular member is used is also included in the present invention. However, since the intermediate receiving member of the annular body can support the lid plate in a wider area, it can be recommended in that the load of the bath lid is not dispersed and concentrated on the handle. Further, the present invention includes a case where the intermediate receiving member is integrated with the base member.

  The handle insertion hole (R) may be formed with a space between the base member (30) and the intermediate receiving member (50), and the protrusion (56) is provided on the lower surface side of the intermediate receiving member (50). In addition to providing, it can be formed by providing a protrusion on the upper surface side of the base member (30). In the embodiment described above, the base member (30) is provided with the oval ridge (35) that supports the intermediate receiving member (50), and the notch (34) is formed in the handle insertion hole (R) planned site. On the other hand, the guide member (50) is provided with two guide protrusions (56) that fit into the notch (34). With such a configuration, the handle insertion hole (R) can be formed and the intermediate receiving member (50) can be positioned at the same time, and the assembling work can be easily performed.

  The method of inserting the handle (1) into the handle insertion hole (R) in a slidable and retaining state is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the elongated hole (4) in the handle (1) in the illustrated example is for inserting the cylindrical portion (55) of the intermediate receiving member (50) to guide the sliding direction, but it may also regulate the sliding amount. There is substantially a stopper for the handle (1). Accordingly, a retaining portion (5) having an enlarged cross-sectional area is not necessarily formed at the end of the handle (1), and the retaining portion (5) is an intermediate receiving member on the other end side of the handle insertion hole (R). The stopper can be prevented without coming into contact with (50). Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides the engaging part engaged with the retaining part (5) of a handle (1) in the said handle insertion hole (R).

  Further, the handle (1) may have a flat belt shape without forming a bent portion between the grip portion (2) and the insertion portion (3). Even if there is not necessarily a bent portion, the finger can be inserted by bending it into an arch shape by sliding the handle (see FIG. 8). In the present invention, since the handle mounting recess is provided on the upper surface side of the flat hollow member (20), the handle can be accommodated in the recess even if the handle (1) is provided with a bent portion. A beautiful aesthetic appearance can be obtained, the handle (1) does not get in the way, and the plurality of bath lid bodies (10) can be superposedly stacked, so that storage and storage can be performed efficiently.

  The fixing means for fixing the cover member (40) to the base member (30) is not particularly limited. For example, a riveting method and an adhesive for fixing both the members (30) and (40) using rivets. In addition to the bonding method of fixing both the members (30) and (40) by using the hooks, both the members (30) and (40) are provided with engaging hooks, and the corresponding hooks are engaged with each other, whereby both members (30 ) (40) can be used as an engagement method, or a combination method in which these methods are used together.
