Description

  The present invention relates to a swarf unit laid on the front side of a male urinal.

  On the floor of the urinal side of the men's urinal is a marble snail, on which the urine and washing water tend to scatter and form a pool. The pool made of urine and the like does not look good, and there is also a hygienic problem. Such a puddle is also a trigger for the urinal user to slip on stepping. For this reason, prevention of the occurrence of water accumulation has been attempted by various methods (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, as in Patent Document 1, if the filthy stone is formed entirely of one having a water absorbing action, the aesthetics such as the sense of cleanliness and the sense of luxury that the conventional marble has are impaired. Therefore, there is a demand to prevent the occurrence of water accumulation in the minimum necessary range and to maintain a sense of cleanliness and luxury as a toilet. In addition, although a method of laying a water-absorbing material or a water-absorbing mat only on a part of dirty stone is also considered, the water absorption amount often reaches a saturation amount, and after water absorption, it tends to be discarded and disposed of. As described above, even if the absorbent body is disposed on a part of the filth stone, the user's slippage can be prevented without impairing the appearance and the water absorption amount exceeds the saturation amount in consideration of the reuse of the absorbent body. There is a case follow-up, and it is hoped that a swarf developed from such a comprehensive point of view.

JP 2002-364058 A

  The present invention takes the above-mentioned prior art into consideration, and can prevent the occurrence of a water pool in front of the urinal without impairing the appearance of a conventional dirty stone such as marble etc. The purpose is to provide a stone unit.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a reference surface disposed on the same plane as the floor surface on the front side of the urinal for men and the reference surface as the upper surface, at least in front of the urinal for men A filthy stone main body forming a side floor, a notch formed by cutting away from the upper surface side of the filthy stone main body, and a porous member accommodated in the notch and having the reference surface as an upper surface Provided is a filth stone unit characterized by comprising a porous body made of a substance, and a void portion as a space formed between the lower surface of the porous body and the notch portion.

  Preferably, the void portion is formed by a through hole formed in a spacer disposed on the lower side of the porous body.

  Preferably, the void portion is formed around a protrusion protruding from the notch and in contact with a part of the porous body.

  Preferably, the apparatus further comprises a frame container interposed between the notch and the porous body, the frame container having a side plate covering the side surface of the porous body and a bottom plate covering the lower surface. The upper surface of the side plate is formed in the same plane as the reference surface, and the void portion is formed of a through hole penetrating the bottom plate.

  Preferably, the side plate has a flange portion which is bent at the upper part thereof to extend outward, and the upper surface of the ridge portion is formed on the same plane as the reference surface, and is formed around the notch. A step is formed by notching the swarf body to accommodate the buttocks.

  Preferably, the bottom plate is bent in the lower surface direction at the through hole portion in the void portion.

  According to the present invention, since the water absorbing body is disposed in the dirty stone main body, it is possible to absorb urine and washing water, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a water pool before the urinal. Further, since the upper surfaces of the swarf main body and the porous body are the same as the reference surface, no step is formed on the floor surface where the urinal user stands. Therefore, the user can be prevented from stumbling. Further, since the porous body for absorbing water, washing water and the like and the filiform stone body are clearly separated and formed, the filthy stone body can be formed of marble or the like. For this reason, the dirty stone main body can be formed of a material having an aesthetic appearance such as cleanliness and luxury. Further, since the void portion is formed on the lower side of the porous body, even when the water absorption amount of the porous body exceeds the saturation amount, water can be temporarily stored in the void portion. In addition, since the porous body is accommodated in the cutaway portion in which the filiform stone main body is notched, the porous body and the filiform stone main body have an improved appearance in appearance.

  In addition, by using the spacer disposed on the lower side of the porous body as the void portion, the void portion can be easily formed, and it becomes possible to replace it when it becomes dirty. Alternatively, by providing a projecting portion in the notch formed in the filthy stone main body as the void portion, a member for forming the void portion is not required separately, and the handling property is improved.

  On the other hand, by interposing the frame container between the notched portion and the porous body, the boundary between the filthyite main body and the porous body can be clearly shown, and the convenience is improved. Further, since the upper surface of the frame container is also flush with the reference surface, it is possible to prevent the user from stumbling. Furthermore, the frame container can be formed from a single thin plate by a mold by providing the flange portion in the frame container and forming the void portion in a structure in which the bottom plate is bent. This is advantageous in cost and increases productivity.

It is a schematic plan view of the filth unit according to the present invention. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. 1 which shows an example of a polluted stone unit. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. 1 which shows another example of a polluted stone unit. It is a schematic plan view of another swarf unit according to the present invention. It is a BB sectional view of FIG. 4 which shows an example of a polluted stone unit. It is BB sectional drawing of FIG. 4 which shows another example of a polluted stone unit. It is the schematic at the time of disassembling the swarf unit of FIG. It is a schematic plan view of a frame container.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the swarf unit 1 according to the present invention is formed as a floor at least on the near side of the urinal 2 for men. FIG. 1 shows an example formed on the lower side of the urinal 2. The swarf unit 1 includes a swarf main body 3 which is a basic floor portion and a porous body 4 disposed on the front side of the urinal 2. As apparent from FIG. 2, the floor surface on the front side of the male urinal 2 is formed on the same plane as a reference surface S. Therefore, the upper surfaces of the polluted stone main body 3 and the porous body 4 are on the same plane, and are formed flush with the reference plane S, respectively. As described above, since the upper surfaces of the polluted stone main body 3 and the porous body 4 are the same as the reference surface S, steps are not formed on the floor surface on which the user of the urinal 2 stands. Therefore, the user can be prevented from stumbling. So-called barrier free can be realized. In addition, the shape of the porous body 4 can employ | adopt variously, such as circular and heart shape by planar view.

  The cutaway portion 5 is formed in the dirty stone main body 3. This notch 5 is formed by being cut away from the upper surface side of the dirty stone main body 3. The notch 5 can be formed by using, for example, laser processing. The porous body 4 is accommodated in the notch 5. The porous body 4 is made of a water-absorbent porous material, and is, for example, zeolite. This zeolite is hygienic because it has the ability to quickly adsorb not only the water absorption performance but also the ammonia odor emitted from urine, and it is preferable as the porous body 4 used for the polluted stone unit 1. As described above, by disposing the water absorbing body 4 in the dirty stone main body 3, it is possible to absorb urine and washing water, and it is possible to prevent the generation of these water pools in front of the urinal 2. Porous materials have a faster water absorption time than water-absorbent sheets such as paper and are preferred.

  Further, since the porous body 4 for absorbing water, washing water and the like and the polluted stone main body 3 are clearly separated and formed, the polluted stone main body 3 can be formed of marble or the like. For this reason, the dirty stone main body 3 can be formed of a material having an aesthetic appearance such as cleanliness and luxury. Besides marble, those made of glass materials, granite and the like can be used. Moreover, since the porous body 4 is accommodated in the notch part 5 which notched the filthy stone main body 3, the integrity of the porous body 4 and the filthy stone main body 3 can be improved as an external appearance.

  Between the lower surface of the porous body 4 and the notch 5, a void 6 as a space is formed. The void 6 may be formed in the spacer 7 disposed below the porous body 4 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the inside of the through hole passing through the spacer 7 is the void 6. When such a void 6 is formed on the lower side of the porous body 4, when the water absorption amount of the porous body 4 exceeds the saturation amount (generally, the porous substance takes about 40% of the volume of water) Even in the case of a rate (saturation amount), water can be temporarily stored in this void. When water such as urine that has exceeded the saturation amount of the porous body 4 is absorbed, the porous body 4 can be reused by washing with water and drying. Therefore, it is suitable for the environment without being disposed of. Such a spacer 7 can be manufactured simply by forming a through hole in a plate-like one, so it can be easily manufactured and can be easily replaced when it becomes dirty. The material of the spacer 7 is not particularly limited.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of projecting portions 8 protruding from the notched portion 5 may be provided, and a space 6 may be provided around this. In order to form the void 6 around the periphery, the protrusion 8 is in contact with only part of the lower surface of the porous body 4 but not the entire lower surface thereof. In the example of FIG. 3, the example which provided the some protrusion part 8 is shown. The projecting portion 8 may be formed at the same time as cutting off the filthy stone main body 3 or may be separately attached to the bottom surface of the notched portion 5. If the projecting portion 8 is formed of the dirty stone main body 3, a member (spacer 7) for forming the void portion is not required separately, and the handling property is improved.

  As another example of the dirt unit 1, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a frame container 9 may be interposed between the notch 5 and the porous body 4. As apparent from FIG. 5, the frame container 9 has a side plate 9 a that covers the side surface of the porous body 4 and a bottom plate 9 b that covers the lower surface of the porous body 4. Also in this case, the upper surface of the side plate 9a is formed in the same plane as the reference surface S in order to prevent the user from stumbling. If such a frame container 9 is used, the upper surface of the side plate 9a is exposed between the filthy stone main body 3 and the porous body 4, so that these boundaries can be clearly recognized. As a result, it becomes easy for the user to set a foot placement indicator, and convenience is improved. In addition, the space | gap part 6 is formed by the through-hole which penetrates the baseplate 9b.

  Another example of the frame container 9 is one in which the side plate 9a is bent as shown in FIG. Specifically, an upper portion of the side plate 9a is bent to form a flange portion 10 which spreads outward. The upper surface of the collar 10 is the upper surface of the side plate 9a, and thus the upper surface of the collar 10 is also formed on the same plane as the reference plane S. For this reason, even if the ridge portion 10 is provided, the floor surface formed by the swarf unit 1 is flat, and the user's tripping is surely prevented. In order to make the upper surface of the ridge 10 flush with the reference surface S, a step 11 is formed around the notch 5 in order to accommodate the ridge 10 by cutting the dirty stone main body 3. It is done.

  In the dirty stone unit 1 of the example of FIG. 6, the flat-plate shaped dirty stone main body 3 is notched to form the notch 5 and the step 11 first. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the frame container 9 is accommodated in the notch 5. At this time, the collar portion 10 is disposed to be accommodated in the step portion 11. Then, the porous body 4 is accommodated in the frame container 9. In addition, after accommodating the porous body 4 in the flame | frame container 9, you may accommodate these integrally as one in the notch part 5. FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, hook holes 12 may be provided to penetrate the porous body 4. The porous body 4 can be removed by using a hook 12 or the like (not shown). Thereby, the replacement operation of the porous body 4 and the cleaning operation of the void 6 become easy.

  In the case of the contaminated stone unit 1 of the example of FIG. 6, the bottom plate 9b is formed by bending the bottom plate 9b in the lower surface direction at the through hole portion penetrating the bottom plate 9b. This can be formed, for example, when punching from the inner side (upper side in FIG. 6) to the outer side (lower side in FIG. 6) with respect to the bottom plate 9b. As described above, the frame container 9 is formed from a single thin plate by a mold by providing the flange portion 10 in the frame container 9 and forming the void portion 6 by bending the bottom plate 9 b. It becomes possible. This is advantageous in cost and increases productivity.

  As a material of the flame | frame container 9, what has a friction coefficient higher than the friction coefficient which the material of the filth stone main body 3 has is preferable. Since the frame container is disposed on the front side of the front surface of the urinal 2, the user does not slip because the user comes to a stepping position. When the dirty stone main body 3 is formed of marble, glass or the like, the frame container 9 is formed of metal or resin. Furthermore, in order to enhance this effect, as is apparent with reference to FIG. 8, the hairline processing may be performed on the upper surface of the ridge 10 to form the hairline 13 (in FIG. 8, the hairline 13 may be formed only on a part of the ridge 10). Show). The hairline 13 is a plurality of grooves formed along the upper surface of the ridge 10, and thereby exerts an anti-slip effect. The processing for the anti-slip effect is not limited to the linear hair line 13, but may be embossing for forming a plurality of uneven shapes. Even if such hairline processing is performed, integral molding from the mold described above is possible, and there is no hindrance to productivity. In consideration of the various effects described above, it can be said that the swarf unit 1 according to the present invention is comprehensively excellent.
