Description

  The present invention relates to a thermal effect comparison apparatus for a floor pan for a washing place. The warm feeling effect is such a degree that it is hard to feel coldness or heat when a person touches the surface.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a floor pan for a washing place including a base made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) and a decorative layer integrally provided on the surface of the base (Non-patent Document 1). On the surface of the floor pan, a plurality of convex portions projecting in an island shape are formed by forming continuous channels around each other.

  Since this base is made of FRP, the floor pan exhibits excellent characteristics such as lightness and high strength. In addition, the decorative layer decorates the floor pan, and the granular material imparts a non-slip characteristic to the surface of the floor pan. And since the water on each convex part falls to each flow path and gathers, it is made easy to discharge | emit outside, Therefore The surface of a floor pan is made easy to dry.

  However, the conventional floor pan has a problem that it is in the shade in winter and it is easy to feel cold when a person touches the surface. For this reason, a bath mat made of foamed polyurethane foam or the like is often provided on the surface of the floor for the floor pan. By doing so, innumerable pores of the bath mat inhibit heat transfer, so that a warm feeling effect that it is difficult to produce a cool feeling is produced.

  However, although the above conventional floor pan is made of FRP and exhibits excellent characteristics such as lightness and high strength, if it is intended to obtain a warm feeling effect, it is not possible to use another polyurethane foam foam or the like. A body mat has to be provided on the surface, which complicates the user.

  For this reason, the applicant, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-399963, etc., has a base made of FRP, a heat insulating portion provided integrally with the surface of the base, and having a myriad of pores, and a surface of the heat insulating portion. A warming sensation member composed of a protective layer provided integrally with the head is proposed.

  This thermal sensation member has a myriad of pores in the heat insulating portion on the surface that is touched by a person with a sole or the like through a protective layer, and each pore inhibits heat transfer. For this reason, if this warming sensation member is a floor pan, the floor pan is less likely to feel cold when a person touches the surface in winter and exhibits an effective warming effect. Moreover, in this floor pan, since the heat insulation part is united, it becomes possible for the user to enjoy a warm feeling effect without feeling troublesome. Therefore, according to this floor pan, the user can easily enjoy an effective warm feeling effect while maintaining excellent characteristics such as lightness and high strength.

  However, when the above-mentioned warming sensation member is used as a floor pan for a washing place, there is a device for directly comparing to what extent the thermal sensation effect is different from the washing place floor pan made of other members. It is not known conventionally.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and it is possible to directly compare to what extent the warm feeling effect is different when a plurality of members are used as a floor pan for a washing place. Providing a device for comparing the effect of warm feeling of bread is an issue to be solved.

  The apparatus for comparing the warming effect of a floor pan for a washing place according to the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of members are joined together side by side to form a floor pan for a washing place, and each of the members is held at the same low temperature state. To do.

  This warm feeling effect comparison device forms a floor pan for a washing place similar to that actually used by joining a plurality of members together side by side. And since each member of the floor pan for the washing place is kept at the same low temperature state, when a person touches the surface of each member alternately or sequentially with the sole of the foot, the temperature of one member and the other member is increased. The person himself / herself can judge the difference in feeling effect.

  Therefore, according to the warming effect comparison apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to directly compare the degree of difference in warming effect when a plurality of members are used as a floor pan for a washing place.

  More specifically, the warming effect comparison apparatus of the present invention can be arranged equally for each member on the back surface of the floor pan for the washing place, and the pipe can be fixed to each member so as to be able to transfer heat. Moreover, this warm feeling effect comparison apparatus can be comprised so that cooling water may flow in piping by a cooling water supply apparatus.

  The pipe is preferably made of a metal such as a copper-based metal. Since this piping is excellent in heat transfer, each member can be quickly maintained in the same low temperature state by passing cooling water.

  In order to fix the pipe to each member so that heat can be transferred, putty, overlay material, or the like mixed with metal powder such as iron powder can be employed.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
