2. Description of the Related Art In general, a unit-type bathroom has a floor portion made of a waterproof pan, and a wall panel is supported by a rising panel provided on four sides of the waterproof pan to form a surrounding wall portion. By arranging the wall panels at a distance, an entrance opening was formed between the wall panels, and a bathroom door was attached to the entrance opening. As a bathroom door,
Doors, folding doors, and sliding doors have been proposed. Of these, sliding doors provide safety for persons in the bathroom because the door does not turn when opening and closing. Since the structure in which the lower frame is horizontal is easier than that of a hinged door, a step between the dressing room and the bathroom can be eliminated, and in recent years, the demand for an entrance door for the elderly has been increasing.

On the other hand, in this type of bathroom door, the door body is slidable by placing the door body in a frame provided in the entrance opening, so that the width of the entrance opening is wider than that of a folding door or a hinged door. And the degree of freedom in housing design is lost. For this reason, a sliding door having a structure in which the sliding door is installed so as to be shifted outward from the position of the entrance, a sliding door is provided along the wall panel of the bathroom adjacent to the entrance, and the sliding door is drawn into the sliding area. Has been proposed.

[0004]

However, in such a unit type bathroom sliding door, the sliding area of the sliding door provided along the wall panel is simply formed horizontally, and as a result, the sliding area comes into contact with the wall panel. Even if the dew condensation water generated by the condensation of the steam falls to the lower part of the draw-in area, there is a problem that the water is collected without being distributed and flows to the undressing room side and causes the generation of mold.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such a problem in the conventional sliding door of a unit bathroom,
It is intended to improve drainage in a sliding area of a sliding door.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem in the sliding door of the conventional unit-type bathroom, the present invention according to the first aspect of the present invention provides a unit installed at an opening serving as an entrance and exit of the unit-type bathroom.
