BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a unit for connecting panels such as a unit type bathroom or a partition, and more particularly, to a joiner constituting a part of a panel connecting device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a panel connecting device for forming a wall such as a unit bathroom or a partition, the following is known as a panel connecting device using a joiner or a spacer. What is described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-33210,
This is a panel connecting device that inserts a spacer into a panel end in advance, inserts the spacer into a column, and drives a fine ground material into a narrow space between the panels. Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 61-8212 discloses a panel connecting device in which a member corresponding to a fine ground material is integrally formed with a spacer, the spacer is fitted to a panel end, and then inserted into a support. . Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 59-168414 discloses a panel connecting device in which a joiner is mounted on a support in advance and an end of the panel is inserted into an opening of the joiner.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned panel connecting device has a large number of parts, and the spacer may come off at the time of construction, so it is difficult to say that the workability is good, and there is still a problem with water tightness. Was. However, although the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the case where the joint material is integrally formed with the spacer, it is difficult to insert the panel into the support, leaving a problem in workability. There were also some problems with water tightness. In this method, it is difficult to insert a joiner into a support during construction, and there is also a problem with watertightness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a panel connecting device having good workability and watertightness.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a unit bathroom to which the panel connecting device of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the same.
The unit-type bathroom 1 is provided with a floor pan 3 on the ground E via supporting legs 2 and the like whose height can be adjusted, and the panels 5 are connected to each other on the edge 4 of the floor pan 3 via a panel connecting device described later. A wall is provided by connecting and arranging vertically, and a ceiling panel 6 is placed between the upper parts of the panel 5 to form the panel. A bathtub 7 is provided on the floor pan 3 to provide a washing place 8, a panel 9 on one wall is provided with a counter 9, and a hot / water mixer tap 10 for a bathtub and a hot / water mixer tap 11 for a washing area are provided. The panel 5 is provided with a shower 12, a lighting 13, a mirror 14, and the like. Reference numeral 15 denotes an entrance door.

The above-described panel connecting device 16 used when arranging and arranging panels to form a wall of a room is composed of a panel 5, a support 17 and a joiner 18, as shown in FIG. The front surface 19 of the panel 5 is formed of a steel plate or the like, and the back surface of the panel 5 is lined with a backing material 20 such as plaster board, asbestos, or glass wool except for four edges. The steel plate of the panel surface 19 is
The side edge 21 is bent in the rear direction (outside of the room) to form the side edge 21.
Is bent in the opposite direction to form a bent portion 22 having a "U" shape .

As shown in FIG. 3, the column 17 has a length substantially equal to the height of a panel obtained by bending a steel plate or the like into a groove shape in a sectional view. (Back side
The bent pieces 23 , 23 protruding in the same direction are formed, and an opening 24 is provided between the opposed bent pieces 23 , 23 .

The joiner 18, which is inserted into the opening 24 of the column 17, supports and connects the side edge 21 of the panel 5, and has a length substantially equal to the height of the panel as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 25 of the joiner 18 abuts against the inner surface of the column 17 in a sectional view , and a pair of legs 26 , 26 for stabilizing the position of the opening , and the opposite side of the legs 26 , 26 . None the panel holders 27, 27 for holding the side edges 21 of the provided panel 5, a substantially H shape composed of the bridge portion 28 for connecting the left and right legs 26, 26 and the panel holders 27, 27, Engaging portions 29 , 29 forming an acute angle toward the rear direction (outside of the room) are provided on the side of the main body 25.
The distal end portions 30 of the panel holding portions 27 , 27 were formed in a hook shape by folding back in the rear direction (outside of the room) with a soft material.

Next, a method of mounting the panels 5 , 5 using the panel connecting device 16 of the present invention described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the left and right legs 26 , 26 of the joiner 18 are pushed in from the left and right, and the opening width is reduced, the legs 26 , 26 are fully inserted into the opening 24 of the column 17 as shown in FIG. It comes into contact with the surface of the support 17 facing the opening 24. By narrowing the opening width of the legs 26 , 26 as described above, the legs 26 can be easily inserted into the columns 17, thereby improving workability. Further, the pair of engaging portions 29 1 , 29 of the joiner 18 resiliently engage with the bent pieces 23 1 , 23 of the column 17, so that the joiner 18 does not fall off the column 17. Then, the panel holding portions 27 1 and 27 face the opening 24 of the column 17, and the position of the opening 31 of the joiner 18 formed between the panel holding portions 27 1 and 27 is stabilized.

[0012] Next panel 5 adjacent as shown in FIG. 4,
The side edges 21, 21 of the 5, one by the panel holder 2
7 and 27 , the panel holding portion 2
7 , 27 are connected to the side edges 21 , 21 of the panels 5 , 5.
The panels 5 , 5 are elastically deformed by being pushed by the panel and do not fall off. Furthermore the panels side edges 21 as shown in FIG. 5, between the 21 gap 3
The connection of the panels 5 , 5 is completed by hammering the joint material 33 into 2. Joint material 33 impress into the gap 32 between the panels side edges 21, 21, to prevent water leakage from between the panels, provided with a water stopper 34 on the surface opposite ends of the indoor side. In addition, the water stopping portion 34 also has a role of preventing the water from entering the back when driving. The joint material 33 has a fin shape 35 for fixing the panel. Since the fin shape 35 has a waterproof function, the watertightness is high and the reliability is obtained. With this joint material 33, water tightness can be ensured.

[0013]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when panels 5 and 5 are erected and arranged to form a wall of a room, adjacent side edges of the panels are joined to the pillar 17 and the joiner. In the connecting device for connecting with the panel 18 , the side edges of the panels 5 , 5
Is a bent side edge 2 bent toward the back of the panel.
1 and 21 are provided to face each other, and adjacent panels 5 and 5 are provided.
It is arranged between the side edge portions 21 and 21 and has a concave cross section,
A support 17 having an opening 24 in a part on the indoor side;
7 has an opening 24 facing the outside that is bent in the outdoor direction.
A pair of bent pieces 23, 23
And has a substantially H-shaped cross-section, and comes into contact with the inner surface of the column 17.
Arranged between the legs 26, 26 and the opening 24 of the column 17.
And panel holding portions 27 facing the bent pieces 23, 23,
27 and the bent piece 2 provided in the opening 24 of the support 17.
Joiner provided with engaging portions 29, 29 that come into contact with 3, 23
-18, and adjacent panels 5 and 5 face each other.
The bent side edges 21 and 21 are connected to the opening 24 of the support 17.
From this, the panel holding portion 2 between the bent piece portions 21 and 21
Since it is configured to be inserted between 7, 27, it is possible to provide a panel connecting device with good workability and water tightness.
