Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom such as a unit bathroom, and more particularly to a bathroom in which a side wall and a ceiling wall have a fantastic effect of light.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a bathroom such as a unit bathroom, a decorative plate having a decorative layer formed on the surface of a base material such as a steel plate has been used as a side wall or a ceiling wall. It is formed by laminating one or more layers of printed pattern sheets on the surface of the base material, painting the surface of the base material, or silk-printing on a coated steel plate.

And, such a decorative plate has a function of reflecting the light of the lighting device arranged in the bathroom,
It is difficult to show the inside of the bathroom large and to give the bather a relaxed and comfortable mood.
The bathroom structure disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 85945 is proposed.
In this bathroom structure, a curved surface portion having a concave inner surface is formed on at least one side wall of the bathroom, and the curved surface portion is irradiated with a spotlight of a spotlight illuminating device attached to another side wall or a ceiling wall.

[0004]

However, in this bathroom structure, since the spotlight of the spotlight lighting device is simply radiated to the curved surface portion of one side wall, the atmosphere in the bathroom looks wide and the spotlight creates an atmosphere. Although the bather can feel relaxed to some extent, there is a problem in that the reflected light of the spotlight applied to the curved surface portion is extremely monotonous and poor in performance.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a bathroom in which sufficient light-provoking performance can be obtained by providing an uneven layer and a surface layer on the surface of a side wall or the like. Especially.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is a bathroom having a side wall and a ceiling wall, in which a bathtub is installed, and the side wall. At least a part of the ceiling wall has an uneven layer formed on the front surface side of the base material, and a substantially transparent surface layer having a flat surface covering the uneven layer.

With this structure, the side wall of the bathroom, which is formed of the uneven layer formed on the front surface side of the base material and the substantially transparent surface layer covering the uneven layer, is used for lighting in the bathroom, for example. The illumination light of the device is reflected on the uneven layer and also on the surface of the surface layer, so that a fantastic effect effect by the light is obtained in the bathroom. At this time, since the surface layer is formed to be substantially transparent, a part of the illumination light enters the surface layer and is reflected by the uneven layer, so that a sufficient effect of the light is obtained in the bathroom.

The uneven layer is preferably substantially transparent and is formed on the decorative layer on the surface of the base material. With such a configuration, light enters the substantially transparent uneven layer and is reflected by the decorative layer formed on the surface of the base material, so that the wall surface of the bathroom is decorated with the decorative layer and the uneven layer and the surface. With a three-layer structure of layers, a deep light reflection state is obtained, and the effect of the effect is further enhanced.

Further, the uneven layer is preferably formed of a substantially transparent decorated layer as in the invention of claim 3. With such a configuration, since the light is reflected by the concavo-convex layer formed of the substantially transparent decorated layer,
It is possible to obtain a more fantastic production effect by the light according to the decorative state of the uneven layer on the wall surface of the bathroom.

Further, it is preferable that the uneven layer and the surface layer are set so that their designs are different from each other, as in the invention described in claim 4. With such a configuration, since the uneven layer and the surface layer are set so that the designs such as colors and patterns are different from each other, it is possible to impart a varied design to the wall surface of the bathroom, An even more fantastic effect can be obtained by the light based on this design.

Further, as in the invention described in claim 5, it is preferable that at least one of the uneven layer and the surface layer has a function of diffusing illumination light in the bathroom. With such a configuration, the uneven layer and the surface layer have a diffusion function in addition to the light reflection function, so that the light diffused by the uneven layer and the surface layer can provide a more fantastic effect effect to the side wall or the like. .

In short, if it has a function of diffusing and reflecting light. The form may be an appropriate one. The concavo-convex layer 23 is not limited to a simple transparent layer, and may be a substantially transparent and decorated layer having a predetermined pattern or coloring.

Further, the surface layer 24 is formed by applying a transparent resin coating material to the surface of the concavo-convex layer 23 so that the surface 24a becomes a substantially flat surface. The surface layer 24 and the concavo-convex layer 23 are both formed substantially transparent, but their designs such as color (color tone), pattern, and degree of transparency are different from each other, and the design of the surface layer 24 is the design of the concavo-convex layer 23. It is set so as not to have a bad influence on. The surface layer 24 of the surface layer 24 has a light reflecting function.

According to this bathroom 1, when a bather takes a bath, a predetermined amount of hot water W is put into the bathtub 5, the control panel 18 is operated to turn on the spotlight illumination devices 19 and 20, and the spot is illuminated. The lights 19a and 20a are applied to the water surface of the hot water W in the bathtub 5. The spotlights 19a and 20a irradiated on the water surface are reflected in the directions of the wall panels 3a to 3d and the ceiling panel 4 as indicated by arrows a and b in FIG. 1, and the reflected light R is reflected by the wall panels 3a to 3d (wall panel 3a to 3d). 3b also includes a bay window 25 portion) and the ceiling panel 4.

At this time, the water surface of the hot water W in the bathtub 5 does not become stationary due to the vibration during the supply of the hot water W or the vibration caused by the movement of the bather in the washing room 6, etc. It is in a swaying state, and along with this, the wall panel 3a
The reflected light R reflected on the ceiling panel 3-4 and the ceiling panel 4 also fluctuates. The reflected light R in the fluctuating state changes according to the fluctuation degree of the water surface, and thereby a fantastic atmosphere of the reflected light R in an infinite pattern is created in the bathroom 1.

In the reflection hole R projected on the wall panel 3a or the like, as shown in FIG. 4, the reflected light R shown by the solid arrow C is reflected on the surface 24a of the surface layer 24 and the reflected light R A part of the light enters the transparent surface layer 24 at a predetermined refraction angle and is transmitted, and the transmitted light is diffused and reflected by the concave portions 23 a and the convex portions 23 b of the concave-convex layer 23.

Further, a part of the light transmitted through the surface layer 24 enters the transparent uneven layer 23 with a predetermined refraction angle as shown by the double-pointed arrow d and is transmitted, and the transmitted light is the decorative layer. 22
Is reflected by the surface 22a of the surface, and the uneven layer 23 and the surface layer 2 are reflected again.
4 and is diffused to the outside from the surface 24a of the surface layer 24. At this time, of the light that has entered and transmitted through the uneven layer 23,
The light that comes into contact with the uneven portion 22b of the decorative layer 22 is irregularly reflected, and the surface 22a of the decorative layer 22 becomes bright, for example.

As a result, the reflected light R is reflected by the surface layer 24 or diffused / reflected by the uneven layer 23 or the decorative layer 22,
The reflected light R itself reflected on the wall panel 3a or the like can be further changed, and a different light state can be obtained depending on the viewing position, or the metallic pattern or pearl pattern of the decorative layer 22 shines on the bather. Will be seen. Further, even when the spotlight lighting devices 19 and 20 are turned off, the illumination light (indirect light) of the lighting device 13 in the bathroom 1 is reflected by the surface layer 24 such as the wall panel 3a or the uneven layer 23 or The light is diffused / reflected by the decorative layer 22, and the wall panel 3a or the like of the bathroom 1 is provided with a lightly shining state, for example.

In particular, by forming a glittering pattern such as a metallic pattern or a pearl pattern on the decorative layer 22 or using a decorative layer having a pattern or the like as the uneven layer 23,
The pattern of the decorative layer 22 and the concavo-convex layer 23 can be made visible to the bather by reflecting the light, for example, so that the bathroom 1 can perform a fantastic effect and a substantially transparent surface layer. By making the designs of 24 and the concavo-convex layer 23 different from each other, it is possible to diversify the designs of the wall panel 3a and the like, and it is also possible to obtain various production effects by light with this design.

Further, a pair of spotlight lighting devices 19, 20 are attached to the ceiling panel 4 of the bathroom 1, and the spotlights 19a, 20a are irradiated onto the water surface of the bathtub 5, so that the reflection of the water surface by the spotlights 19a, 20a is performed. The light R (indirect light) can be projected onto the wall panel 3a or the like having the surface layer 24 and the concavo-convex layer 23. At that time, the reflected light R projected onto the wall panel 3a or the like can be changed infinitely due to the fluctuation of the water surface. As a result, it is possible to obtain a more fantastic effect of the light in the bathroom 1.

Further, since the fantastic reflected light R whose light condition is different depending on the viewing position is projected on the wall panel 3a or the like, it is possible to make the inner space of the bathroom 1 which is narrow and easy to be occluded to be wide. In particular, since the state of the reflected light R due to the reflection of the water surface of the bathtub 5 changes infinitely, the space in the bathroom 1 can be more improved than in the case where the conventional spotlight lighting device is simply illuminated on the curved surface portion. It is possible to obtain a wide and effective view and to obtain a mysterious bathroom space.

Since the uneven layer 23 that diffuses / reflects light is covered with the surface layer 24, the uneven layer 23 is the surface layer 24.
The surface of the wall panel 3a and the like can be improved in durability, and since the surface 24a of the surface layer 24 is formed flat, adhesion of dirt to the surface 24a is prevented. In addition, even if it becomes dirty, it is possible to easily wash it with water and obtain a clean wall panel 3a for a long time.

According to the above embodiment, the following additional operational effects can be obtained. That is, by associating the lighting of the actuator 16 and the spotlight illuminating devices 19 and 20 as the sound reproducing device provided in the bathroom 1, for example, the spotlight illuminating devices 19 and 20 are turned on during music reproduction for operating the actuator 16. Then, the vibration by the actuator 16 is propagated to the hot water W in the bathtub 5 and the water surface slightly fluctuates, and the wall panel 3a
