BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a fitting portion for receiving a bathtub so that the bathtub can be fitted therein, an upper surface portion for receiving water between a peripheral portion of the fitted bathtub and a bathroom wall surface, and a tub edge and a washing pan. The present invention relates to a bathtub counter provided with an apron portion covering the space between the bathtub counters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of bathtub counter, one of the left and right sides in the width direction of the upper surface portion for receiving water is formed large.
The faucet could be attached.

[0003]

Generally, the mounting position of the faucet is determined according to the shape of the bathroom such as the position of the door, the position of the water pipe, etc., and a bathtub counter and a bathtub having a shape corresponding to the mounting position of the faucet are installed. Use it to construct a bathroom. However, according to the above-mentioned conventional bathtub counter, a bathtub and a bathtub counter having different shapes are required depending on whether the faucet is attached to the right position or the left position. Therefore, the right position and the left position cannot be used in combination, and two types of bathtub counters for the left position and the right position are prepared so that they can be supplied, and one of them is selected. There was a drawback that it had to be installed in the bathroom. Also,
In order to eliminate this drawback, it is conceivable that both the upper and lower surfaces of the bathtub counter are simply formed to be large so that the faucet can be attached to both the left and right sides. In the bathroom, there was a drawback that the volume of the bathtub had to be reduced.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub counter which can be used in combination with a large capacity of the bathtub regardless of whether the faucet is mounted on the right or left. Especially.

[0005]

To achieve this object, the bathtub counter of the present invention is characterized in that the faucets can be attached to the left and right ends of the apron at symmetrical positions, and the faucets protruding toward the washroom can be attached. With each bulging part, there is a riser part recessed on the bathtub side at the bottom of the apron part, and a continuous curved surface part recessed on the bathtub side between the bulging parts of the apron part. If you have formed
The effects are as follows.

[0006]

In other words, since the bulging portions that can be attached to the faucet are provided so as to project toward the washing place, the faucet can be attached with a large capacity without narrowing the inner space of the bathtub.

Further, since the bulging portions which can be attached to the faucet projecting toward the washing place are respectively provided at symmetrical positions on the left and right ends of the apron portion, the faucet can be located at either the right or left side. Can be installed, and by simply preparing one type of bathtub counter, it can be installed freely in any structure of the bathroom, and the bulging parts are on the left and right end sides of the apron part. Since it is installed in the room, it is possible to avoid giving the impression that the washing space is narrow.

Further, if a continuous curved surface portion that is recessed toward the bathtub is formed between the bulging portions of the apron portion, it becomes difficult to understand that the washing space is further narrowed, and the washing space is widely used. You can

[0009]

Therefore, regardless of the structure of the bathroom, the faucet can be attached to either the left or right side so that the bathtub can be installed. Therefore, when installing the bathtub in the bathroom, a kind of bathtub counter can be used. So the faucet mounting position is for the left,
It is no longer necessary to prepare separate bathtub counters for the right side, and since they can be used for both purposes, they can now be manufactured at low cost.

Further, since the volume of the bathtub can be kept large without significantly narrowing the washing space, the bathroom can be used comfortably.

A wall unit W and a ceiling unit that form a room are provided (see FIG. 1), and a door unit D that serves as an entrance and exit to a dressing room C adjacent to the bathroom Y is provided (see FIG. 2). Is configured so that the bathroom Y can be formed in the inner space by assembling each of them.

The bathtub unit B is constructed by integrally connecting a bathtub 1 and a bathtub counter 2 for receiving and supporting the peripheral edge portion 1a of the bathtub 1, and the bathtub counter 2 is
It is composed of an upper surface portion 2b on which the peripheral edge portion 1a of the bathtub 1 is placed, and a hanging wall-shaped apron portion 2c extending from the upper surface portion 2b to the washing place unit A, and the upper surface portion 2b can be fitted with the bathtub 1 freely. The fitting portion 2a can be formed. Specifically, the upper surface portion is formed flat, and after the fitting portion 2a is bored, the bathtub 1 is fitted into the fitting portion 2a and placed. With such a configuration, there is an advantage that the bathtub counter 2 can be fitted into any of various bathtubs.

The washing place unit A is composed of a washing place pan 4 which constitutes a floor portion, and the space above the washing place pan 4 serves as a washing place.

Further, the upper surface portion 2b of the bathtub counter 2,
The bath 1 and the washing pan 4 are supported by a support member 3 at the bottom.

Each of the wall unit W and the ceiling unit is formed by arranging a plurality of panels continuously in the surface direction, and a joint portion between panels, a joint portion between a panel and each other unit,
Also, the joint between the units is waterproofed with a sealing material or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bathtub counter 2
Is formed in a state in which the peripheral edge is bent upward so that the water flowing out on the upper surface portion 2b does not collect at the joint portion with the wall unit W. The apron portion 2c is provided with bulging portions 2d projecting toward the washing area at both left and right sides in a substantially triangular shape with a transverse cross section at symmetrical positions, and the bathtub 1 is provided between the bulging portions 2d. A continuous curved surface portion 2e that is recessed in the side is formed, and a riser portion 2f that is recessed in the bathtub 1 side is provided in the lower portion, and one upper end surface portion of the bulging portion 2d is formed with mixed water. A stopper 2g is attached. As a result, even if the bulging portion 2d narrows the space on the side of the washing place, a person who is on the side of the washing place can wash in the washing place by providing the riser 2f recessed in the bathtub 1 side under the apron portion 2c. When you look inside, it looks like there is depth, and it becomes difficult to understand that the washroom has been narrowed,
