Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is applied to, for example, a shower in a unit bath or the like in which a bathtub, a toilet bowl and a washbasin are installed in one room and a shower is installed on the upper wall surface of the bathtub. The present invention relates to a shower screen provided so as to separate a bathtub side, which is a usage area, and a toilet / washbasin side, which is a non-washing area.

[Prior Art] In recent years, in hotels and condominiums, a bathtub, a toilet bowl, and a washbasin are installed in one room, and a unit bath in which a shower is installed on the upper wall surface of the bathtub is widely used.
Since such a unit bath does not have a washing room, a user usually uses a shower in the bathtub to wash the hair and wash the body. Therefore, in order to prevent the non-washing area where the toilet bowl and washbasin are installed from getting wet due to the splashed water when the shower is used, a shower curtain is hung at the boundary with the bathtub, which is the area where the shower is used. I am trying to partition.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, the shower curtain often clings to or adheres to the user's body during use of the shower, which not only causes discomfort but also hinders use. There is also a problem that the user feels cramped when the two areas are partitioned by the shower curtain. Further, the shower curtain has a drawback that stains are likely to be adhered and, if it is adhered, it is difficult to remove the stain, so that the mold is easily generated.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention is a shower screen created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is characterized by a plate provided between a bathtub region where a shower device and a faucet are installed on a wall surface and an outer region of the bathtub. It is made of a sheet-like material, is attached to the wall surface so as to partition the bathtub region and the bathtub outer region along the edge of the bathtub, and is rotatable in the outer direction of the bathtub.

[Action]

According to the shower screen of the present invention, when the shower is used, by positioning the shower device and the faucet on the wall at the boundary between the tub area and the outer area of the tub, the splashed water can be kept in the non-wash area. You can prevent it from reaching. At this time, since the shower screen is made of a plate-shaped material, it never clings to or adheres to the user's body while using the shower. In addition, when dirt adheres to the surface, it is easy to remove it, so that it can always be kept clean. Furthermore, since the shower screen according to the present invention is rotatably attached to the wall surface, the position can be changed easily and quickly, and when the shower screen is not used, it can be rotated and pressed against the wall surface. Thus, it is possible to effectively use the indoor space widely.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a plan sectional view showing a state where the shower screen 1 according to the present invention is applied to a unit bath U in which a bathtub 10, a toilet 20, and a washbasin 30 are installed in one room, and FIG. Sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is II in FIG.
It is sectional drawing in the I-III line.

As shown in the drawings, the shower screen 1 is made of a plate-like material provided along a boundary line between an area A where the bathtub 10 is installed and an area B where the toilet bowl 20 and the washbasin 30 are installed. It is attached by a bracket 2 to the wall surface 4 where the lines intersect. The bracket 2 has a hinge portion 2a on the way.
And has a plate-like member rotatably supported. Further, a stopper 3 is provided on the upper surface of the bathtub 10 to prevent the plate-shaped material from rotating into the region A on the bathtub 10 side.

Next, a usage mode of the shower screen 1 will be described. The unit bath U shown in the figure does not have a washing space unlike a normal bathroom. Therefore, the user uses the shower head 40 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) installed on the upper wall surface of the bathtub 10 to wash the hair and the body in the bathtub 10. Therefore, when using a shower, the shower screen 1 is provided between the bathtub area A where the shower device is installed on the wall surface and the outside area B of the bathtub 10 where the toilet bowl 20 and the washbasin 30 are installed. Position it so that it does not reach the tub 10 / outside area B while using the shower. In this case, the shower screen 1 does not necessarily have to be the bathtub area A where the shower is used.
It is not necessary to partition the entire boundary between the bathtub 10 and the outer region B, as long as it has a dimension necessary to shield splashed water. That is, the height dimension is such that the upper end reaches the top of the user standing in the bathtub 10 when attached to the wall surface 4, and the width dimension is the reach of the shower water discharged from the shower head 40. A degree (about 500 to 600 mm) is sufficient. In this way, if the dimensions of the shower screen 1 are set so as not to partition the entire boundary between the regions,
The cramp feeling felt by the user can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, if the plate-shaped member is made of a transparent acrylic plate or the like, a visual open feeling can be obtained, and thus the cramped feeling can be further reduced or eliminated.

Shower screen 1 when not using the shower
Rotate around the hinge 2a of the bracket 2,
The wall surface 4 is pressed against the bathtub outside region B (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Since the shower screen 1 is a plate-shaped material, if it is pressed against the wall surface 4, the portion protruding into the room becomes very small, so that the availability of the indoor space is improved. In the illustrated embodiment, the shower screen 1
An operation portion 6 of a hot and cold water mixing plug 5 for supplying hot water to the bathtub 10 is provided on the attached wall surface 4. Therefore, when the shower screen 1 is pressed against the wall surface 4, it is possible to easily operate the operation portion 6 from the bathtub outer area B.

The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above, and various applications according to the embodiments are not hindered.

[Effect of device]

As is clear from the above description, since the shower screen according to the present invention is made of the plate-shaped material, it does not cling to or adhere to the user's body during use of the shower. Therefore, the shower is comfortable to use because there is no possibility of giving discomfort to the user or hindering the operation. Further, even if dirt adheres to the surface, it can be easily removed, so that good hygiene can be surely maintained. Furthermore, the present invention makes it possible to move the position very easily and quickly by making the shower screen rotatable. Therefore, it is easy to switch between the use position and the non-use position of the shower screen, and the user can easily switch between the bathtub region and the bathtub outside region. When not in use, by pressing it against the wall surface, it is possible not only to easily operate the faucet metal fittings and the like provided in the bathtub area from the bathtub outer area side, but also to improve the availability of the indoor space. . It is also possible to reduce or eliminate the cramping feeling when the shower is used by minimizing the size of the plate-like material that constitutes the shower screen and by using a transparent material.
