[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a wall panel which is erected on the periphery of a bathtub with a washing place in a bathroom unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in a plan view of FIG. 4 and a longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 5, a wall panel of this kind inserts a joiner 8 between adjacent wall panels 2 and 2, and attaches the joiner 8 to the wall panel. By connecting the frame 7 fixed to the upper peripheral edge 1 'of the bathtub 1 with the screw 6 by screws 6, both ends are sandwiched between the outer side of the joiner 8 and the frame 7, and the peripheral edge of the bathtub 1 with the washbasin is provided. Had to be fixed. Then, a decorative joint member 9 is attached to the surface of the joiner 8 to close the gap between the adjacent wall panels 2 and 2.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional wall panel mounting structure, a large connecting mounting bracket such as a frame or a joiner is required to connect the wall panels.
Since the gap between the adjacent wall panels is wide, the decorative joint member for concealing the gap becomes wide, which has a problem that it is obstructive. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a connecting metal fitting is fixed to one lower portion of the rear surface of the wall panel by projecting one end of the connecting metal member to the lower side, and is fixed to the lower portion of the other side. Fix the panel hook with the hanging piece projected downward,
The upper peripheral edge of the bathtub with a washing place is sandwiched between a screwed portion projecting below the connection fitting and located on the side of the wall panel and a fixing fitting screwed to the screwed portion. , Fix one side of the wall panel, and in this connection bracket,
By hooking the hooks of the panel hooks attached to the other wall panels, one side of the adjacent wall panel is held, and at the time of mounting the wall panels, the connecting metal fittings connecting the wall panels in the horizontal direction are sequentially. , Was fixed to the upper periphery of the bathtub with a washing area.

[0005]

The connecting bracket fixed to one side of the wall panel has its lower end screwed to the fixing bracket to sandwich the upper peripheral edge of the bathtub with a washing tub between the fixing bracket and the other wall panel. The one side of the adjacent wall panel is held by the hook of the panel hook fixed to the wall panel.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mounted state of a wall panel according to an embodiment. As shown, wall panels 2, 2... Are erected on an upper peripheral edge 1 'of a bathtub 1 with a washing area of a bathroom unit. Below this, a connection fitting 3 is fixed on one side and a panel hook 4 is fixed on the other side, respectively.

The connecting fitting 3 is provided with a screwing portion 3 "projecting below a U-shaped engaging portion 3 '. One end of the connecting fitting 3 projects to the side of the wall panel 2 as shown in FIG. And is fixed to the lower part of one side of the back surface of the wall panel 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the panel hook 4 is fixed to a lower portion of the other side of the back surface of the wall panel 2, and a downwardly extending support piece 4 is provided on the outside of the front surface (the back side of the wall panel 2). '
Is protruding.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a fixing bracket formed in an L-shape when viewed from the side. As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing bracket 3 "is connected to the screwing portion 3" of the connecting metal member 3 by a screw 6, thereby forming the screwing portion 3 ". The outer periphery of the upper peripheral edge 1 ′ of the bathtub 1 with a washing place is sandwiched between the tub 1 and the tub 1.

Therefore, in the mounting structure of the wall panel according to the present invention, the wall panel 2 is placed on the peripheral edge 1 'of the bathtub 1 with a washing bath with a packing (not shown) interposed therebetween, and the connecting fitting 3 is provided as described above. When the fixing bracket 5 is screwed to the wall panel 2, the peripheral edge 1 ′ of the bathtub 1 with a washing place is sandwiched between the two and the wall panel 2.
Is fixed, and then the hook 3 'of the panel hook 4 of the other wall panel 2 is hooked to the connection fitting 3, whereby one side of the adjacent wall panel 2 is held. Then, if the connecting fitting 3 on the other side of the wall panel 2 is screwed to the fixing fitting 5 across the peripheral edge 1 'of the bathtub 1 with a washing basin as described above,
The wall panel 2 is also fixed. By sequentially attaching the wall panel 2 next to the fixed wall panel 2 in this manner, the periphery of the tub 1 with a washing place of the bathroom unit is covered with the wall panels 2, 2,. At this time, the wall panel in contact with the door mounting frame (not shown) is not provided with the metal fittings on its side surface. In addition, the gap generated between the adjacent wall panels 2 and 2 is laid by appropriate means such as joint members. As described above, the wall panel is mounted by the mounting structure of the present invention.

In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a connecting metal fitting is attached to the right of the outside of the wall panel, a panel hook is attached to the left, and the wall panel is attached counterclockwise on the periphery of the bathtub with a washing basin. Alternatively, the mounting positions of the connection fitting and the panel hook may be reversed, and the wall panel may be mounted clockwise.
Also, in the present embodiment, the connecting bracket has a U-shaped hook portion so that it can be attached to either the left or right side of the wall panel. However, the connecting bracket only needs to be able to hold the hanging support piece undetachably. Its shape is not limited to the embodiment shown.

[0012]

As described above, in the mounting structure of the wall panel in the bathroom unit of the present invention, the connecting bracket and the panel hook are fixed to the lower left and right sides of the wall panel, and the two are hooked and screwed to the fixing bracket to fix the wall. Since the panel is to be mounted, large connecting fittings such as a frame and a joiner as in the past are not required, and the mounting is also performed by hooking the panel hook of another wall panel to the fixing fitting of the fixed wall panel. Thereby, the adjacent wall panel can be positioned and held, so that the work can be easily performed. In addition, the gap between the wall panels is extremely small, and the width of the joint member is reduced, which provides an excellent effect of improving the appearance.
