  However, in such a structure, it is necessary to put a hand from the gap between the outer surface of the bathtub on the long side and the washing floor, and fix the fixing member to the bathtub base, especially in a small size bathroom, because the gap is small, There was a problem of poor workability. On the other hand, when trying to widen the work space, there is a problem that the inner tank width of the bathtub becomes narrow.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and is easy to adjust the height and installation position of the bathtub placed on the gantry, and can easily fix the tub to the tub gantry. An object is to provide a bathtub support structure with good workability.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the bathtub support structure according to the present invention has, as main aspects thereof, a bathtub, a horizontal long-side frame, and a horizontal short-side frame, which are arranged below the bathtub. Of the bathtub base, a convex part formed integrally or separately with the bathtub on the back surface of the bathtub, and capable of positioning in the short direction of the bathtub, among the long side frame and the short side frame in the bathtub base, And a fixing member that fixes the bathtub to the long-side frame in a state where the whole is placed on the long-side frame, wherein the fixing member is fixed to the bathtub. It has a side fixing | fixed part and the base side fixing | fixed part which is arrange | positioned in the position extended outward from the said bathtub side fixing | fixed part, and is fixed to the said long side frame.

  According to the bathtub support structure according to the present invention, the height adjustment and installation position adjustment of the bathtub placed on the gantry are easy, and the bathtub can be easily fixed to the tub gantry.

  An embodiment of a bathtub support structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 is a side view in the short side direction of the bathtub support structure according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view in the long side direction, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view.

  As shown in these drawings, the bathtub 1 is placed on the bathtub mount 3.

  The bathtub mount 3 includes two short side frames 4 parallel to the short side direction of the bathtub and two long side frames 5 parallel to the long side direction of the bathtub as horizontal members. Moreover, the two support | pillars 6 are provided as a perpendicular | vertical member.

  One end of the short side frame 4 is fixed to the upper end of the column 6, and the other end is in contact with the side surface of the column 9 of the washing station frame 8 adjacent to the bathtub frame 3, and is provided on the side surface of the column 9 of the washing field frame 8. It is installed horizontally in a form that it is placed and fixed on the flange portion 10a of the substantially Z-shaped connecting member 10.

The long side frame 5 is installed horizontally with both ends thereof being placed and fixed on the short side frame 4.
The bathtub 1 is placed on the long side frame 5. On the back surface of the bathtub 1, a convex portion 1 a having a length that fits between the two long side frames 5 is provided. The position in the short side direction is regulated by the convex portion 1a.

  In addition, on the long side frame 5 closer to the washing place side, fixing members 7 are attached to both ends of the bottom of the bathtub 1 in the long side direction, and the position of the long side direction of the bathtub 1 is fixed.

A half bath step 1b is provided at one end in the long side direction of the bathtub 1, a support leg 2 is suspended from the bottom of the half bath step 1b, and a lower end of the support leg 2 is placed on the long side frame 5, The load applied to the half bath step 1b is supported.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bathtub as viewed from below, and FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view of FIG.

  The fixing member 7 is a bathtub-side fixing part 7 a fixed to the bathtub 1, a gantry-side fixing part 7 b that is arranged at a position extending outward from the bathtub-side fixing part 7 a and is fixed to the long-side frame 5. Have

  The bathtub-side fixing part 7a is screwed in advance to a rib 1c that is suspended from the bottom rear surface of the bathtub 1 that is located directly above the long-side frame 5 that is closer to the washing area. The bathtub-side fixing portion 7a is provided with a rising portion 7c that comes into contact with the outside of the rib so that positioning at the time of screwing is easy.

  On the other hand, the gantry-side fixing portion 7b has a substantially L-shaped cross section and abuts on the upper surface of the long side frame 5 and the side surface facing the washing area. And after the bathtub 1 is mounted in the predetermined position on the long side frame 5, it is screwed in the long side frame 5 side surface.

  The bathtub support structure according to the present embodiment has the following effects by being configured as described above.

  Since the bathtub 1 is mounted directly on the long side frame 5 and does not require a bathtub support leg, the height adjustment of the bathtub 1 may be performed only by adjusting the height of the bathtub mount 3. Moreover, since the short side direction of a bathtub is positioned by the convex part 1a, position adjustment only needs to adjust the long side direction.

  Moreover, since a fixing operation can be performed in a large space formed on the outer side from the outer surface of the bathtub on the short side, the bathtub can be easily fixed to the bathtub base without being restricted by the shape of the bathtub.

  Even if the outer dimensions are the same, the bathtub has a variety of different shapes. For example, there are square / round bathtubs in the inner tank, and bathtubs with / without half-body bathing steps.

  Although the position of the bathtub support legs (members that transmit the bathtub load to the bathtub base) in the short side direction of the bathtub can be the same, the position of the bathtub support legs in the long side direction of the bathtub is the same as that of the bathtub. It must be changed according to the shape of the inner tank.

  For this reason, even if the outer dimensions of the bathtub are the same, it is necessary to prepare a bathtub mount corresponding to the difference in the tank shape in the bathtub, which is not preferable because the product number of the bathtub mount increases.

  However, according to the present invention, since the fixing member 7 is disposed on the long side frame 5, it can also be used as a bathtub base that supports various bathtubs having the same outer dimensions and different inner tank shapes. A bathtub support structure can be provided.

  In this regard, in the installation structure of the bathtub with a washing place described in Patent Document 1, a concave frame sandwiching portion is provided on the bottom surface of the bathtub, but the whole is attached to the short side frame of the bathtub base. In other words, if the inner tank shape of the bathtub is different, the position in the long side direction of the frame sandwiching portion changes, so an individual base must be used according to the inner tank shape of the bathtub, and the product number increases, which is preferable. Absent.

  In this embodiment, although the convex part 1a is integrally formed in the bathtub 1 back surface, you may comprise as a different body detachable from the bathtub 1 unlike this.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the convex portion 1a is formed only between the two long side frames 5, but as shown in FIG. You may regulate the position of the short side direction of a bathtub so that the long side frame 5 may be inserted | pinched by 1a.
