Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet expanding structure which allows a toilet to be enlarged as required.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a home with a disabled person or an elderly person who uses a wheelchair, it is often difficult to use the toilet because of a small toilet. Increasing the size of toilets for people with disabilities, etc.
It is often difficult, whether from residential space or from an economic perspective.

In the background of the present invention, a large toilet can be formed in a limited space in a house, and a disabled person or an elderly person using a wheelchair can use the toilet easily. The task is to do so.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above object is achieved by providing a toilet room adjacent to a corridor room, a partition panel moving between the toilet room and the corridor room moving, and a corridor room facing the toilet room. One or both of the front and rear of the part is blocked, and the corridor room part is a part of the toilet room, so that the toilet is expanded.

[0005] In this toilet room expansion structure, the toilet room itself may be an ordinary relatively small one that can be used by a healthy person. When a disabled person or an elderly person using a wheelchair uses this toilet, for example, the partition panel that separates the toilet room from the corridor room is moved to partition the corridor room portion facing the toilet room, so that the corridor portion has a toilet. It becomes part of the room and the toilet is expanded. Therefore, a disabled person or an elderly person can enter the expanded toilet in a wheelchair and use the toilet. When using the toilet, the corridor is blocked by partition panels, so there is no need to worry about peeping. Then, after use, if the partition wall is moved to the original position and returned, the partition wall partitions into the original toilet room and the corridor, and returns to the original state. As described above, according to the toilet room expansion structure of the present invention, a large toilet can be formed in a limited space in a house, and a disabled person or an elderly person using a wheelchair can easily use the toilet. Becomes possible.

In this case, in order to facilitate the operation of the partition panel, it is preferable that the partition panel is installed so as to be moved by being rotated about a vertical axis.

[0007] In the above toilet-room expanding structure, the partition panel includes at least an original partition panel and a toilet access panel including a toilet door and a door frame, and the original partition panel is a toilet room. If one of the front and back of the corridor room facing the front is obstructed, and the other is blocked by the toilet access panel and the toilet is to be expanded, disabled persons and elderly people using wheelchairs can The user can enter the expanded toilet room as it is in the traveling direction, and can easily enter and exit the toilet.

A partition panel for separating the toilet room and the corridor room blocks one of the front and rear portions of the corridor room facing the toilet room, and the other is blocked by a door for entering and exiting the toilet, and the toilet is expanded. If so, the toilet can be advantageously expanded in terms of cost.

[0009]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the toilet room expansion structure of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet room, and reference numeral 2 denotes a corridor room, which are partitioned by first and second partition panels 3 and 4.

The first partition panel 3 comprises a partition wall panel, and partitions one half of the toilet room 1 along the corridor room 2. The second partition panel 4 is composed of a toilet door panel including a toilet door 5 and a door frame 6, and partitions the other half of the toilet room 1 along the corridor room 2.

Each of the first and second partition panels 3 and 4 is rotatable about a vertical axis defined at the front and rear corners of the toilet room 1 so as to open toward the corridor room 2. It is installed in.

In the above structure, when a healthy family 7 uses a toilet, the toilet room 1 and the corridor room 2 are partitioned by the first and second partition panels 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. It can be used as usual with it left in the state.

On the other hand, a disabled person or an elderly person 8 using a wheelchair.
When using the toilet, as shown in FIG.
The second partition panels 3 and 4 are both rotated toward the corridor room 2 and opened to block the front and rear of the corridor room portion 2a facing the toilet room 1. The operation of the partition panels 3 and 4
It may be performed by a disabled person or the elderly 8 or a healthy family. Thereby, the toilet room 1 and the corridor room portion 2a facing the toilet room 1 are spatially integrated, and the toilet is expanded. Persons with disabilities or the elderly 8 using the wheelchair 9 can open the door 5 provided on the second partition panel 4 and easily enter the expanded toilet room together with the wheelchair 9, and put down their clothes inside. , Can excrete. No one can see the lifting and lowering of clothes or excretion. After using the toilet, the first and second
By returning the partition panels 3 and 4 to their original positions, the corridor 2 is opened as before.

In the toilet room expanding structure of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a second partition panel 4 for entering and exiting the toilet is fixedly installed, and an access door provided on the second partition panel 4 is provided. 5 are provided in an outward opening type.

In this structure, when a disabled person or an elderly person 8 using a wheelchair uses a toilet, as shown in FIG.
The toilet room 1 is opened by rotating the first partition panel 3 toward the corridor room 2 and opening the door 5 provided on the second partition panel 4 toward the corridor room 2.
Front and back of the corridor room part 2a facing
The toilet room 1 and the corridor room portion 2a facing it are spatially integrated, and the toilet is expanded. FIG. 6 shows a case where a healthy family 8 uses the apparatus.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the toilet room expansion structure of the first embodiment, the door 5 for access provided in the second partition panel 4 is opened outward, and this door 5 blocks one of the corridor rooms as in the second embodiment. If you have a structure that can do it, you can block it with a door,
It can be blocked by the second partition panel, and various uses are possible. In addition, the corridor room facing the toilet room, for example, if it has a structure in which one of the front and rear is blocked in the first place, or if there is no need to block,
The structure may be such that only the other side can be blocked by the partition panel. In addition, the toilet room and the corridor room portion facing the toilet room may be partitioned by three or more partition panels, and some or all of those partition panels, both before and after or both before and after the corridor room portion Either one may be partitioned and the toilet may be expanded. The movement of the partition panel may be performed in a form other than the rotation. In addition, the room expansion of the toilet may not be intended for a disabled person or an elderly person using a wheelchair, and may be applied to a case where the room can be expanded for another purpose.

[0018]

As described above, according to the toilet room expansion structure of the present invention, a large toilet can be formed in a limited space in a house, and a disabled person or an elderly person using a wheelchair can easily. Toilet can be used.
