PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a person from being hooked when taking bath or cleaning a bathtub by absorbing and fixing an operating force transmitting member for connecting a drain cock to an operating part arranged along the inner surface side of the bathtub with a suction cup at the inner surface side of the bathtub at a middle part between the operation part and the drain cock. SOLUTION: A drain cock 18 is provided at the bottom part 14, and the main body 38 of an operating part is fixed, to an upper inner surface of a peripheral wall part 12 of a bathtub 10. A wire release 44 is inserted with an inner wire 48 held in a slidable manner inside a non-shrinkable, flexible outer tube 46 and connected and fixed to a shaft 42 extended from a push-button 40. The wire release 44 is absorbed and fixed to the inner surface of a peripheral wall part 12 of the bathtub 10 by a suction cup 56 at the middle part between the operating part 36 and the drain cock 18. A shaft part 58 is provided at the suction cup 56, and the wire release 44 is inserted into a holding hole 60 in a slidable manner in a longitudinal direction.
