Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom unit having a wall panel and a ceiling panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a wall panel forming a peripheral wall of a bathroom unit has been tightened by installing a connecting plate on an upper end surface of an adjacent wall panel. Since the wall panel is erected, it will be unstable if not tied to something. In the related art, a stable state is maintained by connecting a wall panel with an adjacent wall panel by a connecting plate.

[0003] As a result, the bathroom unit can form a stable peripheral wall and can be made strong.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, it is necessary to tie a connecting plate.
As the number of parts in the bathroom unit increased, the number of construction procedures also increased, and it was not always reputable. In addition, for example, in the case of a bathroom unit having a slope on the ceiling, a slope is formed on the upper end surface of each wall panel at a corner portion, and accordingly, it is necessary to provide a slope on the connecting plate. As the number of types of ceiling slopes increases, the types of connecting plates also increase accordingly, causing a decrease in productivity.

[0005] Further, if the bathroom unit is to be constructed without providing the connector itself, the wall panel is likely to be displaced due to aging, and as a result, the sealing material provided around the upper inner edge of the bathroom unit is broken. The problem arises.

As described above, the connecting plate used in the prior art is certainly necessary, but it was desired to simplify it somehow.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom unit in which the position of a wall panel can be easily determined.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, in the bathroom unit of the present invention, as described in claim 1, the peripheral wall of the bathroom is formed by being erected adjacently. In a bathroom unit having a plurality of wall panels and a ceiling panel provided above each wall panel to form a ceiling of the bathroom, an upper end of each adjacent wall panel is fitted to an edge of the ceiling panel. Each wall panel is connected by a ceiling panel.

Thus, the position of the wall panel can be easily determined. That is, since the adjacent wall panels are joined by the ceiling panel, the joining of the wall panels does not require the connecting plate described in the related art. The ceiling panel is a component of the bathroom unit that cannot be omitted, and has been successfully used to join the wall panels to reduce the number of parts.

Further, in the bathroom unit of the present invention, the corner portion may be formed by the adjacent wall panel as described in claim 2.

In this case, the wall panels are likely to fall in different directions, and the connection between the wall panels becomes more important. That is, if the wall panels fall in different directions from each other, the seam portion greatly expands, and the appearance is very poor. By forming a corner portion with adjacent wall panels and connecting each wall panel with a ceiling panel, the corner portion of the bathroom unit can be kept in a stable state.

In the bathroom unit according to the present invention, the fitting between the ceiling panel edge and the upper end of the wall panel may be vertical uneven fitting.

[0013] In this case, the concave and convex fitting becomes easy.
That is, since the concave and convex can be fitted so that the ceiling panel is placed from above the wall panel, it becomes simple. The up-down concave-convex fitting that can achieve both the movement against the gravity and the preferable fitting of the wall panel and the ceiling panel can be said to be very wonderful.

Further, in the bathroom unit of the present invention, as described in claim 4, a flange is provided on the edge of the ceiling panel, and the wall panel is a decorative board forming the interior of the bathroom and a peripheral edge on the back side of the decorative board. May be formed with a reinforcing square member adhered to the flange, and the concave and convex may be fitted in a state where the lower surface of the flange and the upper surface of the reinforcing square member are in contact with each other.

In this case, the ceiling panel can be easily placed on the wall panel, and the wall panel can be lightened. That is, by providing a flange on the ceiling panel, the flange can be hooked on the wall panel and temporarily fixed. If it is fitted to the wall panel from the temporarily fixed state, it can be easily constructed. Further, since the wall panel is formed of the decorative board and the reinforcing square, it can be made lighter than a single-piece structure. Since the reinforcing square is adhered to the peripheral edge, the weight of the decorative board can be reduced without chipping.

Further, in the bathroom unit of the present invention, the fitting projection protruding downward is provided on the lower surface of the flange, and the cross-sectional profile of the reinforcing bar is substantially C-shaped. It is also possible to attach to a decorative board with the opening facing outward and provide a fitting through-hole on one side of the C-shaped cross section which is the upper part, so as to fit unevenly.

In this case, it is possible to easily confirm the fitting of the unevenness. That is, since the part to be fitted with the concave and convex is the upper surface of the wall panel, if the wall panel side is made convex, the fitted state cannot be clearly understood. In the present invention, a fitting projection piece is provided on the ceiling panel side, a fitting through hole is provided on the wall panel side, and a reinforcing square member provided with the fitting through hole is provided with a reinforcing rectangular member having a substantially C-shaped cross-sectional shape in which the opening faces outward. The fitting state can be easily confirmed from this opening when visual confirmation is required.
