MODULAR PREFABRICATED BATHROOM
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention here relates to a modular prefabricated bathroom, and more particularly, it is directed to a prefabricated bathroom which can be constructed and installed from the modular panels on-site within an existing or new housing unit. .
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The bathroom unit is usually one of the smallest units within a dwelling housing unit.
Even though it is one of the smallest units, however it is also one of the more labour intensive units to be constructed, especially with the need for waterproofing, plumbing and sanitary services, etc. As a result, it is well-known that currently there are a lot of bathroom structures which are fully pre-assembled at the factory and then shipped or transported to the actual building site for installation on-site. Fully pre-assembled at the factory would also mean having all the finishes and fittings fully-fitted at the factory.
Hence for these that are fully pre-assembled at the factory, they are typically made of either full precast concrete, or steel panel wall and concrete floor tray or even cement board wall with either concrete or fibre glass floor tray.
However for these fully pre-assembled units, a lot of them that are shipped or transported to the actual building site for installation on-site can be quite bulky and 1 takes up space for placement storage. This is especially so if the space within the construction area is constrained and hence makes it harder to store more of the fully pre-assembled units before installing it into the housing unit. Besides, installation of the pre-assembled unit typically involves various types of different craftsmen such as contractors, electricians, plumbers, etc. to take turns performing their respective tasks.
As a result, this may inevitably results in excessive delay and slow turn-around time for the installation of the pre-assembled units within the housing unit. Moreover, this could also result in high labor costs for the installation of such pre-assembled bathroom units due to the large number of parties involved.
Hence it would be desirable to have an improved prefabricated bathroom assembly for use in a typical housing unit. The embodiment of the present invention serves to provide a bathroom assembly that is modular in nature and can be assembled on-site.
Also by making in modular in nature, it can be easily transported to the actual site.
This means that more units of the prefabricated bathroom assembly can be easily stacked and be transported at any one time to the actual site, thus speeding up the installation within the housing unit. Such modular bathroom assembly would typically consist of frame structures for support, wall panels for the bathroom assembly that can be easily taken apart and be transported to the site of the housing unit for on-site assembly, bathroom floor base and also modular bathroom ceiling units. Thus by making them modular, overall productivity can be improved when it comes to installation.
The frame structures are usually metal extruded, with at least four (4) frames with their ends having right-angled shape opening at each end of the frame. The rest of the frames that form the rest of the structure have their ends that can fit into the rightangled shape opening for each end of the frame such that the overall frame structure would be rigid. For each right-angled shape opening at each end of the frame, the side that is facing the interior of the bathroom structure is coated with either rubber or silicone mix or something that is of a similar nature so as to ensure that water does not seep through the frame structure of the bathroom unit, i.e. to prevent any water leakage.
The frame structure has an adjustable wall jamb affixed to it for those portions that are facing the wall portion of the housing unit. The adjustable wall jamb has adjustable bolts on it such that the wall jamb is adjustable according to the wall surface undulation, hence minimizing the quantity of sealing agent to be used between the frame structure and the wall. Moreover, there are L-shaped brackets that can help to secure some of the frames against the main core part of the frame structure so as to ensure a good tight and stable structure. Furthermore, the bottom floor-facing portion of the frame can incorporate adjustable screw feet so that the overall frame structure can be leveled accordingly to compensate for uneven flooring during installation within the housing unit.
Once the frame structure is fixed up, the wall panels would need to be mounted up.
The wall panels are typically made of plastic-related material that is lightweight and easy to install. The side of the wall panel that is facing the interior of the bathroom assembly has ribs that is curved downwards such that any water droplets can flow downwards onto the ground and would not accumulate on the wall panel. Moreover, there are also two (2) metal strips on the interior side of the wall panel such that it allows any smart devices such as smartphones, tablets PC, etc to be attached to the front exterior wall panel on areas where the metal strip is positioned at. In order for it to happen, the back of the smart devices would need to have a backing or a back casing with magnetic feature so that the whole smart device can be attached to the front exterior side of wall panel on the areas where the metal strip is positioned at.
Hence with this concept, this makes the prefabricated bathroom unit to be part of the overall smart home environment for the future. Home owners can then attach their smart devices via magnetic means on the surface of the wall panel of the bathroom unit as part of his/her living lifestyle within the smart home environment.
The wall panels can also be customized such that they are modular in nature, which means that they can be easily assembled and disassembled and can be fabricated in individual sizes to incorporate separate fixtures and fittings within the bathroom unit.
For example, one wall panel can be fabricated with the necessary openings for pipings at a pre-determined location such that it can incorporate a basin fixture onto it later on when the wall panel is mounted. Another wall panel can also be fabricated with another set of openings at another pre-determined location such that it can incorporate a toilet bowl fixture. Thus this makes it flexible for the home owners to mix-and-match and choose different brands/types of bathroom fittings and not be restricted to a certain fixed brand.
Once the frame structure and the wall panels are mounted, the floor base can then be laid out. The floor base would consist of openings for drainage pipe coverings, whereby the opening is for water drainage purposes in a bathroom, example during shower, washing, etc. The dimension for the floor base would have to be fabricated in a way that it will fit snugly onto the frame structure such that water will not seep out of it during usage. Preferably, a layer of waterproofing agent can be applied at the edges to reinforce it for waterproofing. Typically, the floor base can be made of materials like fibre reinforced polyester (FRP) or sheet molding compound.
Last but not least, the ceiling panel is the last to be installed within the bathroom unit, in which the ceiling panel is also modular in nature. Essentially, the ceiling panel can be fabricated with pre-determined holes for drilling to the cement ceiling during installation.
The ceiling panel can also be fabricated with the necessary grooves to incorporate bathroom lighting as well as lighting cover for the lights. In addition, there are also openings created for the lighting wirings needed during the installation stage.
Moreover, the design could also incorporate a special opening which can be used for installing an exhaust fan inside the bathroom. Hence during installation, each ceiling panel unit would need to be secured to the top via drilling to the cement ceiling, thus making it more secure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE
PRESENT INVENTION
The drawings attached here are to aid in better understand the description of the invention here. The drawings are not to scale and they are to be used for merely illustrating the principles and concepts of the invention. In the following description, details are provided to describe the embodiment of the application. It shall be apparent to the person skilled in the art, however, that the embodiments may be practiced without such details.
The present invention relates to a modular prefabricated bathroom, which can be constructed and installed on-site within an existing or new housing unit. Its modularity allows more of such units of the prefabricated bathroom to be easily transported to the actual site based on per trip. The key components including the frame structure, wall panels, floor and ceiling panel are all fabricated at the factory and then transported to an existing or new housing unit for installation on-site, thus eliminating the need for storage space as compared to traditional prefabricated bathroom units.
Figure 1a illustrates a perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention with all the parts fully assembled. Typically the fully assembled bathroom unit 1 shown in
Figure 1a would consist of key bathroom fixtures like basin 2, shower fixture 3 and its 10 related accessories, toilet bowl 4, bathroom door, etc, which are all illustrated in Figure
1b. The overall size/dimension of such a fully assembled bathroom prefabricated with modular units can range from 1800mm (Length) x 1800 mm (Breadth) or till 2400 mm (Length) x 1800 mm (Breadth). Other than the dimensions mentioned earlier, it can also be customized to other dimensions if necessary depending on the requirements of the end-user. It has to be able to fit into a typical housing residential unit and complying with the local country housing laws and regulations.
Figure 2 illustrates another perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention, highlighting the frame structure. The frame structures 5 are usually metal extruded, with at least four (4) frames with their ends having right-angled shape opening 6 at each end of the frame. The type of metal used is typically light-weight and is sturdy enough to withstand any stresses or loading. Besides the four (4) frames, the rest of the frames have their ends 7 that can fit into the right-angled shape opening for each end of the frame, thus ensuring that the overall frame structure would be rigid.
All these frames are modular in nature, meaning that they are prefabricated at the factory and then transported to the actual housing unit to be assembled and installed.
For each right-angled shape opening at each end of the frame, the side 8 that is facing the interior of the bathroom structure is coated with either rubber or silicone mix or something similar of that kind. This is to ensure that water does not seep through the frame structure of the bathroom unit, i.e. to prevent any water leakage.
Figure 3 illustrates another perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention, highlighting the frame structure with the adjustable wall jamb 9. The adjustable wall jamb 9 is typically affixed to those portions that are facing the wall portion of the housing unit. To compensate for any differences and the undulating nature in the wall surfaces of the housing unit, the adjustable wall jamb 9 has adjustable bolts, hence minimizing the quantity of sealing agent to be used between the frame structure and the wall.
Figure 4 illustrates another perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention, highlighting the frame structure 5 joined together via the L-shaped bracket 10.
The L-shaped bracket 10 can help to secure some of the frames against the main core part of the frame structure so as to ensure a good tight and stable structure for the bathroom unit. These L-shaped brackets 10 are readily available outside at any hardware shop, thus minimizing the need for additional inventory. This would mean that the frames would need to be fabricated with small screw holes to facilitate installation of these L-shaped brackets.
Furthermore, as illustrated in Figure 5, the bottom floor-facing portion of the frame can incorporate an adjustable screw feet 11 so that the overall frame structure can be leveled accordingly to compensate for uneven flooring during installation within the housing unit. Moreover by adjusting the adjustable screw feet 11, this would also aid in having the water to drain out to the draining system on its own via the drainage openings on the floor base. An illustration of the floor base 21 with the drainage openings is shown in Figure 8. This would mean that it is advantageous to have the floor base 21 to be installed at the base of the overall bathroom unit first before leveling the frame structure by adjusting the adjustable screw feet 11.
Figure 6 illustrates another perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention, highlighting the wall panel 12. Once the frame structure is fixed up, the wall panels 12 would need to be mounted up. The wall panels 12 are typically made of plastic-related material that is lightweight and easy to install. These wall panels 12 are easily fabricated to different sizes and/or dimensions in order to suit the requirements needed for the bathroom unit. The side of the wall panel 12 that is facing the interior of the bathroom assembly has ribs 13 that is curved downwards such that any water droplets can flow downwards onto the ground and would not accumulate on the wall panel 12. Moreover as illustrated in Figure 6, there are also two (2) metal strips 14 on the interior side of the wall panel 12 such that it allows any smart devices 15 such as smartphones, tablets PC, etc to be attached to the front exterior wall panel on areas where the metal strip 14 is positioned at. In order for it to happen, the back of the smart devices 15 would need to have a backing or a back casing with magnetic feature so that the whole smart device 15 can be attached to the front exterior side of wall panel 12 on the areas where the metal strip 14 is positioned at. Hence with this concept, this makes the prefabricated bathroom unit to be part of the overall smart home environment for the future. Home owners can then place their smart devices 15 on the exterior of the wall panel 12 of the bathroom unit as part of his/her living lifestyle within the smart home environment. With this design, it is also seems much seamless and neater in terms of outlook, more so especially in a smart home environment.
As illustrated in Figure 7, the wall panels 12 can also be customized such that they are modular in nature, which means that they can be easily assembled and disassembled and can be fabricated in individual sizes to incorporate separate fixtures and fittings at different positions within the bathroom unit. These wall panels are typically made of lightweight yet sturdy material, for example fibre reinforced polyester (FRP), etc. for ease of transportation and shipping as well as ease of installation on-site. Hence for example in a typical bathroom unit set-up as illustrated in Figure 7, one wall panel 16 can be fabricated with the necessary openings for pipings at a pre-determined location such that it can incorporate a basin fixture onto it later on when the wall panel is mounted. The other wall panel 17 can be fabricated with another set of openings at another pre-determined location such that it can incorporate a shower fixture and its related shower accessories. Likewise, another wall panel 18 can also be fabricated with another different set of openings at another pre-determined location such that it can incorporate a toilet bowl fixture. A window outlet can also be fabricated on the wall panel 19, hence making it easier for a window to be installed to the bathroom unit.
Another wall panel 20 can also be fabricated for bathroom door installation. Thus this makes it flexible for the home owners to choose different brands/types of bathroom fittings and not be restricted to a certain fixed brand.
Once the frame structure and the wall panels are mounted, the floor base can then be laid out. As illustrated in Figure 8, the floor base 21 would consist of openings 22 for drainage pipe coverings, whereby the opening 22 is for water drainage purposes in a bathroom, example during shower, washing, etc. The dimension for the floor base 21 would have to be fabricated in a way that it will fit snugly onto the frame structure such that water will not seep out of it during usage, as highlighted in Figure 9, wherein it illustrates the mounting of the floor base 21 within the frame structure 11. Preferably, a layer of waterproofing agent can be applied at the edges to reinforce it for waterproofing.
Typically, the floor base can be made of materials such as fibre reinforced polyester (FRP) or sheet molding compound.
Last but not least, the ceiling panel is the last to be installed within the bathroom unit, in which the ceiling panel is also modular in nature. As illustrated in Figure 10, essentially, the ceiling panel 23 can be fabricated with pre-determined holes for drilling to the cement ceiling during installation. The ceiling panel 23 can also be fabricated with the necessary grooves to incorporate bathroom lighting as well as lighting cover 24 for the lights. In addition, there are also openings 25 created for the lighting wirings needed during the installation stage. Moreover, the design could also incorporate a special opening 26 which can be for installing an exhaust fan inside the bathroom.
Hence during installation as illustrated in Figure 11, each ceiling panel unit 23 would need to be secured to the top via drilling to the cement ceiling, thus making it more secure. Once done, the rest of the installation works for the lighting, exhaust fan, etc.
can then be commenced.
It is to be understood that the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment is intended to be purely illustrative of the principles of the invention, rather than exhaustive thereof, and that changes and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and that the present invention is not intended to be limited other than as expressly set forth in the following claims.
