[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor pan for a bathroom, particularly a bathroom with a pattern, used in a bathroom unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 6 and 7 show a conventional washing floor pan. The washing floor pan of the bathroom unit has a large number of sections surrounded by vertical ribs 27 and horizontal ribs 28 on a floor surface 20 inclined downward toward the drainage ditch, and a pattern 22 of about 60 mm square is arranged in each section. And the vertical joint 23 between the left and right patterns
Are provided with horizontal joints 24 between the front and rear patterns. Each pattern 22 is provided with a mirror surface 22c between a base portion 22b rising from the floor surface 20 and a pattern upper surface 22a slightly smaller than the base portion 22b (parallel to the floor surface 20). An uneven slip stopper 25 is formed on the pattern upper surface 22a.

[0003]

As described above, the washing floor pan is inclined downward to the drainage side, so that the wastewater flowing through the washing floor pan (soap water, shower water, hot water overflowing from the bathtub). ) Are mostly drained into drains. However, part of the miscellaneous drainage is blocked by the horizontal rib that separates the washing floor pans, and tends to remain in front of the horizontal rib. In addition, since the upper surface of the pattern was flat, and the upper surface of the pattern was provided with a non-slip portion having irregularities, a part of the miscellaneous drainage was easily retained as water droplets here (drainage became insufficient). The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a bathroom floor pan with a pattern, in which water droplets hardly remain and patterns and joints are easy to dry quickly. .

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a bathroom floor pan according to the present invention has the following configuration.
That is, in the bathroom floor pan according to the present invention, a large number of patterns 2 are vertically and horizontally arranged at intervals on a floor surface 1 having a flow gradient, and a vertical joint is provided between a left pattern 2A and a right pattern 2B. 3 are formed, the front pattern 2C and the rear pattern 2D
The horizontal joints 4 are formed between them, and each pattern 2 has a mountain shape in which the central portion of the pattern is higher than the periphery of the pattern, and the vertical joints 3 are inclined continuously and linearly in the drainage direction. This is a floor pan for a bathroom washroom.

[0005] In the above-mentioned bathroom floor pan for bathroom, side joints 4
The vertical joints 3 are preferably formed so as to be orthogonal to each other. In the bathroom floor pan for bathroom, at least one of the vertical joints 3 and the horizontal joints 4 may be provided with a convex portion 7 for thinning the water droplet W as appropriate.

[0006] Here, the "floor surface" has a pattern and joints, and has a flow gradient toward the drainage side.
The “pattern” refers to a small section having a pattern such as a concavo-convex pattern and a planar shape that is substantially square or substantially rectangular. Each pattern has a mountain shape at the center of the pattern higher than the periphery of the pattern, and the upper surface of the pattern usually has a non-slip.
The "joint" includes a vertical joint located on the left and right of the pattern and a horizontal joint located before and after the pattern. The vertical joint is continuous in the drainage direction, and the horizontal joint is preferably orthogonal to the vertical joint. In addition, the “convex portion” of the joint refers to a portion that comes into contact with the water droplet remaining on the joint and turns the water droplet that has become spherical due to surface tension into a thin film.

Are arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions at intervals, and a vertical joint 3 is provided between the left pattern 2A and the right pattern 2B, and a horizontal joint 4 is provided between the front pattern 2C and the rear pattern 2D.
A, 2B, 2C, and 2D have a mountain shape in which the center is higher than the periphery of the pattern. A non-slip 5 is provided on the pattern upper surface 2a, the horizontal joints 4 are orthogonal to the vertical joints 3, and the vertical joints 3 are linearly continuous in the drainage direction.

The floor pan for bathroom in the first embodiment has the same structure as described above. Therefore, when used in a bathroom unit, a pattern 2 of about 30 mm square and a vertical joint 3
And the horizontal joints 4 are formed, each pattern 2 forms a mountain shape at an inclination angle θ of about 0.3 degree, and a non-slip 5 is provided on the pattern upper surface 2a. The height difference t between the periphery and the center of the pattern is about 0.2 mm, and the vertical joint 3 is formed linearly toward the drain groove 9. When the shower is used or the body is washed in the bathroom unit provided with the floor pan for the bathroom, the pattern 2 has a mountain shape, so that the water is not drained on the pattern upper surface 2a and the drainage is performed. Flows down to the vertical joints 3 and the horizontal joints 4. The drainage that has flowed down to the horizontal joint 4 flows to the vertical joint 3, and the drainage that has flowed down to the vertical joint 3
The water flows into the drain gutter 9 together with the drain water that has flowed down to the side seams 4.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view (a) and a longitudinal sectional view (b, c) of a main part of the second embodiment. The differences from the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG.
Water W remaining on joints 3 and 4 at the center of the width between
Is appropriately provided with a convex portion 7 for reducing the thickness. When a part of the drainage that has flowed down from the pattern 2 to the vertical joints 3 and the horizontal joints 4 remains as water droplets W on the vertical joints 3 and the horizontal joints 4, the water droplets W form a substantially spherical shape due to surface tension. , Water drop W
Is in contact with the convex portions 7 of the vertical joints 3 and the horizontal joints 4, spreads along the convex portions 7 and becomes a thin film, so that drying is quick.

FIG. 4 is an example (third embodiment) of a bathroom floor pan equipped with a pattern table. As shown in FIG. 4, a pattern base (middle pattern formed by collecting small patterns) 6 having a certain width is arranged on the floor 1 vertically and horizontally, and a main vertical joint 13 is provided between the left and right pattern bases 6A and 6B. A main horizontal joint 14 is provided between the front and rear pattern bases 6C and 6D, and a pattern 2, a vertical joint 3 and a horizontal joint 4 are provided on each pattern base 6.

FIG. 5 is an example (fourth embodiment) of a bathroom floor pan with a half pattern. Between the front pattern 2C and the rear pattern 2D, as shown in FIG.
Is provided. The half pattern 12 has a half width of the pattern 2 and is formed at the same height as the pattern 2, and if the non-slip 15 is provided on the pattern upper surface 12a, drainage is easy.
Various designs are also possible.

The size of the pattern 2 is not limited to about 30 mm square, the size and shape are free, and the inclination angle θ of the pattern 2 is not limited to about 0.3 degrees. Absent. It is also possible to make the inclination angle θ about 0.11 degrees with the pattern 2 of about 60 mm square.
