Conventionally, the bath lid is often removed from the bathtub at the time of bathing and leaned on a place that does not interfere with bathing, such as a corner of a bathroom. In this case, as described above, in the conventional product, the edge protector at the outer peripheral portion can alleviate the impact with the floor surface of the washing place, but the outer peripheral portion is in contact with the floor surface of the washing place.
Therefore, when using the conventional product, when drainage goes around to the rear side of the standing bath lid, the outer peripheral part becomes a weir and water drainage worsens, and water accumulates in this rear side part, and the outer peripheral part and floor surface There was a problem that it became easy to get dirty with scale.

The present invention has been proposed in view of such conventional problems.
Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a bath lid formed so that water can be prevented from accumulating on the rear side when standing, and dirt on the outer peripheral portion, floor surface and the like can be reduced.

  The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention is a bath lid that is used by being removed from a bathtub and leaning in a bathroom, and the narrow plate members 1 are connected in parallel and flexibly to each other. The leg 2 that is formed to be grounded when standing is provided at an end portion of the plate 1 that is an outer peripheral portion (Claim 1).

As another configuration for achieving the object of the present invention, there is a configuration formed as shown in FIG.
In other words, the present invention is a bath lid that is removed from a bathtub and stood in a bathroom, and the narrow plate members 1 are connected in parallel and bendable to each other so as to be formed into a roll lid type, and are grounded when stood. The legs 2 are provided at both ends of a small number of plate members 1 corresponding to the winding start and winding end portions (Claim 2).

  In the case of this invention, even if it winds from the right and left sides on a drawing, after winding, the leg 2 is arrange | positioned in a core part and an outer location. And since the leg 2 of the outer part contacts the floor surface when the product of the present invention is slanted diagonally, according to this, there is no restriction on the position of the winding start (even if the position of the winding start is wrong) ), Which can be drained with a small number of legs 2. Moreover, in this case, since the leg 2 is disposed at the end of the bathtub when placed in the bathtub, there is an advantage that the leg 2 does not interfere with the removal of the lid or the like.

  Therefore, in the case of these present inventions, the leg 2 is preferably formed in a tapered shape toward the tip (claim 3).

  This is because according to this, the ground contact surface 2a becomes smaller, and the water drainage is improved accordingly. Further, according to this, since the ground contact surface 2a becomes smaller, dirt due to water stains becomes inconspicuous, and the frequency of cleaning can be reduced.

As described above, the present invention is a bath lid that is used by being removed from the bathtub and leaning in the bathroom, and is formed into a winding lid type by connecting narrow plate materials in parallel and in a mutually bendable manner. A leg to be grounded is provided at an end portion of a plate material which is an outer peripheral portion.
Therefore, in the case of the product of the present invention, when standing in the bathroom, a gap can be formed between the floor and the floor by means of the legs. According to this, water can be prevented from accumulating on the rear side, and the outer peripheral portion is the floor surface. Since it does not come into contact with a solid surface, dirt due to water stains is not noticeable, and the frequency of cleaning the outer peripheral portion and the floor surface can be reduced.

Further, the present invention according to claim 2 is a bath lid that is used by being detached from a bathtub and leaning in a bathroom, and is formed into a winding lid type by connecting narrow plate materials in parallel and flexibly to each other. Legs that are sometimes grounded are provided at both ends of a small number of plates corresponding to the beginning and end of winding.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent water from accumulating on the rear side and not only to reduce the frequency of cleaning the outer peripheral portion and the floor surface, but also as described above, water can be drained with a small number of legs regardless of which side is started to wind. In addition, the lid can be removed without hindering the leg.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The product of the present invention is a bath lid that covers and closes an opening surface of a bathtub, is removed from the bathtub, and leans on a floor surface of a washing place in the bathroom. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the product of the present invention is formed in a wound lid type by connecting narrow plate members 1 in parallel and in a mutually bendable manner.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a leg made of high-hardness rubber such as hard elastomer, which is grounded when standing. A plurality of legs 2 are provided, for example, at regular intervals at the end of the plate 1 that is the outer peripheral portion. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, etc., the protruding leg 2 is formed in a tapered shape toward the tip so that the ground contact surface 2a becomes smaller. The leg 2 is bonded to the end of the plate 1 in this embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. The hole 2b may be formed in a concave step shape, and may be fixed to the screw hole 2b with a screw 3 in which the screw head 3a is accommodated, or may be molded integrally with the outer peripheral portion.

  Since the product of the present invention is formed in this way, for example, when placed on the floor surface of a washing place, a gap is formed between the leg 2 and the floor surface. Therefore, even if drainage circulates to the rear side of the product of the present invention, for example, it is drained through a gap, and water does not accumulate in the rear side portion. Further, the leg 2 is formed of high hardness rubber in this embodiment. Therefore, in the product of the present invention of this embodiment, the impact when the product of the present invention is stood on the floor surface of the washing place is alleviated and absorbed by the legs 2, and is firmly supported.
