TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in a positioning plate used for installing a casing containing a washing water tank and a sanitary washing device (hereinafter, referred to as an accessory) in a toilet body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-38074 has been known for installing a casing accommodating accessories of a toilet on a toilet body. In this method, a positioning plate such as a corrugated cardboard, which is marked so as to substantially coincide with the outer edge of the bottom surface of the casing, is installed at a casing installation position at the rear of the toilet, and the casing is positioned at the installation position with the target of marking. The process of installing on the positioning plate is performed. Further, after the casing is fixedly mounted, a process of removing the positioning plate from the toilet and the casing by tearing the positioning plate is also performed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the above method, in the process of installing the positioning plate at the casing installation position, the positions of the washing water drainage port and the bolt insertion hole to the toilet tank formed at the rear of the toilet and the positioning plate corresponding to these are formed on the positioning plate. The positioning plate is placed so that the plurality of through-holes coincide with each other.
[0004]
However, neither the positioning plate nor the installation site of the flush water drain port and the bolt insertion hole at the rear of the toilet is formed, for example, such that one is concave and the other is convex, and both are flat surfaces. Therefore, there is a possibility that the positioning plate may be displaced from a predetermined position due to contact with the lower portion of the casing when the worker is performing the positioning operation of the casing midway while holding the casing having a considerable weight with both hands.
[0005]
Therefore, in order to prevent this displacement, a step of temporarily fixing the positioning plate to the above-mentioned predetermined position of the toilet using an adhesive tape or the like is required in the above-described positioning plate installation process. Therefore, work efficiency is poor, and in the process of extracting the positioning plate, there is a risk that the extraction takes time and a part of the torn positioning plate may remain in the gap between the toilet and the casing, resulting in poor workability. .
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a positioning plate with good workability that can be attached in a relatively short time in the operation of attaching accessories to a toilet.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, when attaching the accessories to the toilet, a positioning plate composed of a plate main body having a groove extending from a hole for penetrating a marker or a fastener as described below is used.
[0008]
The plate body is formed so as to cover at least a part of the attachment portion of the accessory in the toilet, and the marker is positioned at a predetermined position on the plate body when the plate body is placed on the attachment portion. It is marked on the plate body to coincide with at least a portion of the bottom outer edge of the accessory.
[0009]
Further, when the plate body is placed on the mounting portion, the groove is formed from a hole for fastener penetration provided at a position corresponding to a fastener insertion hole for fixing accessories in the mounting portion of the plate body. Extending to the outer edge of the plate body, this groove serves to pass fasteners during plate removal. Therefore, since the groove functions effectively in the process of extracting the positioning plate, it is possible to solve the problem that the extraction takes time and a part of the torn positioning plate remains in the gap between the toilet and the casing.
[0010]
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the marker is marked on at least one of the front and back surfaces of the plate body so as to coincide with any two sides of the bottom outer edge of the accessory. If such markers are marked on the front and back surfaces of the plate body, it is easy to align the accessories and the rest of the toilet bowl can be placed simply by placing either of the front and back surfaces of the plate body on the front and mounting it on the corresponding mounting site. The positioning of attached devices can be performed from either side of.
[0011]
Further, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plate body is a part of a packing box for packing accessory devices, and specifically, a flap of the packing box and an accessory stored in the packing box. A buffer material for equipment is used. Further, at least a part of the instruction manual of the accessory device can be used. As described above, if the plate main body is created from a part of the packing box, the instruction manual, or the like, the resources can be effectively used and the cost can be reduced.
[0012]
Further, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plate main body has a hole for the fastener passing therethrough, and a flange of the fastener fixing member fitted in the fastener insertion hole for fixing an accessory at an attachment portion. It is positioned and fixed by engaging the part. In this case, it is not necessary to temporarily fix the plate body to the toilet with an adhesive tape or the like in the process of mounting the plate body on the attachment part of the accessory in the toilet, so that the workability is further improved.
[0013]

In addition, near the rear end of the upper surface of the rear part 3, insertion holes 9 and 11 for regular hexagonal bolts for fixing the casing 17 accommodating accessories are provided. Bolt insertion holes 13 and 15 are respectively formed. Before the casing 17 is mounted and fixed on the upper surface of the rear portion 3, the positioning plate 19 is placed on one side (right side) of the upper surface of the rear portion 3 as shown in the figure. The positioning plate 19 is removed after the casing 17 is positioned and fixed at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the rear portion 3. The configuration of the positioning plate 19 will be described in detail below.
[0016]
FIG. 2 is a front view showing a positioning plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0017]
The positioning plate 19 includes a plate body 21, a marker 23 written on the plate body 21, cutout holes 25 and 27 formed in the plate body 21, and a print area 29 provided on the plate body 21. .
[0018]
The plate body 21 is formed in an L-shape from a soft and flexible material having a relatively small thickness. The material forming the plate body 21 will be described later.
[0019]
When the positioning plate 19 is placed on the right side of the mounting portion on the rear upper surface of the toilet 3 (see FIG. 1), the marker 23 is located at the upper right corner of the bottom outer edge of the casing 17 positioned at the predetermined mounting position on the plate body 21. It is marked on the plate body 21 to correspond to the part.
[0020]
The notch holes 25, 27 are composed of holes 25a, 27a for bolt penetration and grooves 25b, 27b. The holes 25a and 27a for bolt penetration are provided at positions on the plate body 21 respectively corresponding to the bolt insertion holes 9 and 13 (see FIG. 1) in the mounting portion when the positioning plate 19 is mounted on the mounting portion. Have been.
[0021]
The grooves 25b and 27b extend from the bolt holes 25a and 27a to the outer edge of the plate body 21, respectively. When the positioning plate 19 is removed after the casing 17 is fixed at the predetermined mounting position, the bolt insertion holes are formed. It functions to pass the bolts fastened to 9, 13 (see FIG. 1).
[0022]
In the printing area 29, illustrations and explanations indicating the procedure for attaching the casing 17 (for example, parts and tools used for attachment, work procedures, and the like) are printed.
[0023]
FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the positioning plate according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0024]
The positioning plate 19 is also provided with a marker 28 on the back surface of the plate body 21. When the positioning plate 19 is placed on the left side of the mounting portion on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 3 shown in FIG. 1, the marker 28 is positioned at a predetermined mounting position on the plate main body 21 at the upper left corner of the bottom outer edge of the casing 17. It is marked on the plate body 21 to correspond to the part. Further, a print area 30 similar to the print area 29 is also provided.
[0025]
Next, an operation of attaching the casing 17 to the upper surface of the rear portion of the toilet 3 using the positioning plate 19 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0026]
First, bolts for fastening the casing 17 to the toilet bowl 3 are attached to the bottom of the casing 17, and the bolt insertion holes 9 to 15 on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 3 shown in FIG. Each of the bolt fixing sockets 31 is inserted. By this insertion, the flange portion 31a of the bolt fixing socket 31 projects from the rear upper surface of the toilet 3.
[0027]
Next, the positioning plate 19 is positioned such that the bolt holes 25a and 27a engage with the flange portions 31a, respectively, and is placed on the rear upper surface of the toilet 3 as shown in FIG. As a result, the holes 25a, 27a for bolt penetration are locked by the flange portion 31a in a state of being aligned with the positions of the bolt insertion holes 9, 13, so that the positioning plate 19 is temporarily fixed to the toilet bowl 3 with an adhesive tape or the like. You can save time and effort.
[0028]
Next, each bolt is inserted into the bolt fixing socket 31 and screwed together so that the bottom outer edge of the casing 17 and the marker 27 coincide with each other while visually confirming their positions. At this time, since each bolt is guided downward by the tapered portion 31b formed on the inner peripheral side of the bolt fixing socket 31, it is surely inserted into the socket 31.
[0029]
Thereafter, the positioning plate 19 is pulled out from the gap between the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 3 and the casing 17 while the positioning plate 19 is slid in the horizontal direction while the casing 17 is firmly pressed from above, thereby completing a series of mounting operations.
[0030]
When the positioning plate 19 is used with the back side of the plate body 21 facing up as shown in FIG. 3, the plate body 21 is located on the left side of the upper surface of the rear of the toilet bowl 3 shown in FIG. 25a and 27a are placed so as to correspond to the positions of the bolt insertion holes 11 and 15, respectively. The subsequent steps are exactly the same as above.
[0031]
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the plate body 21 is locked by the flange portion 31a of the bolt fixing socket 31 fitted into each of the bolt insertion holes 9 to 15, the casing 17 Since the positioning plate 19 does not deviate from a predetermined position when it is placed on the positioning plate 19, the work of temporarily fixing the positioning plate 19 to the toilet 3 with an adhesive tape or the like can be omitted.
[0032]
Further, since only the upper right corner (that is, one location) of the bottom outer edge of the casing 17 needs to be aligned with the marker 27, no unnecessary burden is imposed on the operator.
[0033]
Further, after the casing 17 is fixed, the positioning plate 19 is pulled out from the gap between the rear upper surface of the toilet 3 and the casing 17 while sliding the positioning plate 19 in the horizontal direction, so that the two bolts fitted into the bolt insertion holes 9 and 13 are removed. Is separated from the plate body 21 through the holes 25a and 27a for bolt penetration and the grooves 25b and 27b. Therefore, the plate main body 21 can be smoothly pulled out, and a problem that a part of the positioning plate 19 is torn and remains in the gap hardly occurs.
[0034]
When the positioning plate 19 is applied to a toilet that does not use the bolt fixing socket 31, it is necessary to temporarily fix the positioning plate 19 to the toilet with an adhesive tape or the like in order to prevent a displacement at the time of mounting the casing. Since the grooves 25b and 27b function effectively, the plate body 21 can be pulled out more smoothly than the conventional one.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a second modification of the positioning plate according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a third modification of the positioning plate according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 5, the positioning plate 19 may use a flap 35 of a packing box 33 for packing accessories for the toilet.
[0037]
The flap 35 can be relatively easily separated from the main body of the packing box 33 by a perforation 37, and it is relatively easy to provide the flap 35 with the same marker 24, notch holes 26 and 28, and printing area 34 as described above. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the packing box 33 discarded after transporting the attached devices. Therefore, it is effective in reducing costs and saving resources.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 6, the same effect as described above can be obtained also when the positioning plate 19 is configured by using the cushioning material (for example, made of corrugated cardboard) 39 of the accessories housed in the packing box 33. .
[0039]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the positioning plate 19 is attached using the front cover, the back cover, and each page of the instruction manual 41 of the accessory stored in the packing box 33 together with the accessory and the cushioning material 39. The configuration is the same as above.
