Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom floor structure in which a plurality of divided floor panels are juxtaposed in a bathroom floor space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a bathroom floor structure in which a bathroom floor material is divided and laid on a bathroom floor as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-224766. In the bathroom floor structure, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, two divided floor panels 1 are laid, and the inner edges of the two divided floor panels 1 are superposed with a gap therebetween, and the lower part of the bathroom floor structure is provided below the superposed portion. A gutter 2 is provided.

In this case, the outer edge of one of the divided floor panels 1 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the bathtub 11 via a draining member 15, and the connecting member is placed on the outer edge of the other divided floor panel 1. 19
A wall panel 20 stands upright, and a drain port 5 is formed in the gutter 2. Therefore, the dimensional error can be absorbed by the overlapping portion of both split floor panels 1 and the construction can be performed by the dry method, and the drainage flowing down from the gap of the overlapping portion to the gutter-like body 2 therebelow can be removed. Drain port 5 of gutter 2
Is discharged without any problems.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the two divided floor panels 1 are not connected to each other, it is difficult to perform the work of positioning each of the divided floor panels.
In addition, it is necessary to previously install the gutter-shaped body 2 separately from the divided floor panel 1 at a position below the divided floor panel 1, and the positioning work has been difficult. Therefore, even with the dry method, there is a problem that the positioning work of the divided floor panel 1 and the gutter-like body 2 is difficult, and the construction takes time. In addition, since the dimensional error between the floor space of the bathroom is only absorbed by the overlapping portion of the two divided floor panels 1, there is also a problem that it is not possible to cope with the case where the dimensions of the same floor space are largely different. Was.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve all the problems in the prior art described above, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily perform a positioning operation without taking much time even when the size of a floor space in a bathroom is largely different. Can be
An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom floor structure in which drainage treatment can be performed without any trouble.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathroom floor structure in which a divided floor panel having a size obtained by dividing a bathroom floor space into a plurality of sections is formed, and the divided floor panel has an edge portion. By providing a gutter-like body integrally, arranging a plurality of the same divided floor panels in parallel via the gutter-like body, and connecting ends of the gutter-like body with a gutter-like joint body, the plurality of divided floors are provided. Combine panels.

Therefore, in this case, even when the dimensions of the floor space in the bathroom are largely different, it is possible to cope with the dry construction method by arranging a plurality of divided floor panels which are divided and reduced in size and weight. Moreover, at this time, since the gutter-like body is integrally provided at the edge of the divided floor panel, there is no need to separately construct the gutter-like body. In addition, since the ends of the gutter-like bodies are connected to each other by the gutter-like joints, the plurality of divided floor panels are connected, so that the work of positioning each of the divided floor panels and the gutter-like bodies is easy, and drainage is performed. The processing can be performed easily without any trouble.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the bathroom floor structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, the two ends adjacent to each other of the divided floor panel formed in a rectangular shape are provided at the two end edges. A gutter-like body is provided integrally except for a corner between sides, and each gutter-like joint body has a substantially cross shape in plan view, a substantially T-shape in plan view, and a substantially L-shape in plan view. I do.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, a plurality of divided floor panels can be installed side by side in the vertical and horizontal directions, and at this time, a gutter-like body is interposed between the divided floor panels, and the adjacent floor panels are adjacent to each other. The ends of the gutter-like bodies can be connected without difficulty by respective gutter-like joints having a substantially cross shape in a plan view, a substantially T-shape in a plan view, and a substantially L-shape in a plan view. It is possible to cope with the case where the dimensions of the space are different in the vertical and horizontal directions.
Further, in this case, the size of each divided floor panel is further reduced, and each member is shared, so that workability and handleability are improved.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathroom floor structure according to the first aspect, wherein a grating covering the upper opening of the gutter-like body and the gutter-like joint body is removably attached to the bathroom floor structure. And the surfaces of the divided floor panels are substantially continuous with each other.

Therefore, in this case, particularly, the gutter and the gutter covering the upper opening of the gutter-like joint are detachably provided, so that large dust mixed in the drainage can be removed by the gutter or the gutter-like joint. The grating can be prevented from flowing in, and the grating can be removed for cleaning. In addition, since the surfaces of the grating and the divided floor panel are substantially flush with each other, even the divided floor surface can be finished safely and with good appearance without any step.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bathroom floor structure according to the first aspect, further comprising a gutter-like joint having a drain port.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, a gutter-like joint body having a drainage port is provided, and the gutter-like joint body connects ends of the gutter-like bodies without being integrated with the split floor panel. Therefore, by appropriately changing and arranging the connection points, the drainage port can be provided at a desired position, and drainage treatment can be appropriately performed.
