Description

Aspects of the present invention generally relate to bathroom units.

A bathroom unit is known in which a bathtub or a bathroom wall is assembled to form a bathroom in an architectural frame. Since the size of the building skeleton is limited, in the bathroom unit, the bathroom unit is installed so that the space between the building skeleton and the back surface of the bathroom wall is as narrow as possible for the limited size building skeleton. It is being assembled or incorporated. As a result, the bathroom space used by the user can be made as large as possible.

A faucet device for discharging water is indispensable in the bathroom. The faucet device is generally mounted on the surface of the bathroom wall. A pipe (water supply pipe or hot water supply pipe) for supplying water to the faucet device is provided between the back surface of the bathroom wall and the building frame. At this time, as described above, in order to narrow the space between the building frame and the back surface of the bathroom wall and widen the bathroom space, it is necessary to arrange the pipes in the vicinity of the back surface of the bathroom wall.

However, if the pipes are placed near the back surface of the bathroom wall, the pipes may be accidentally damaged during construction or the like. For example, when attaching a bathroom functional member such as a mirror or lighting to a bathroom wall, a pilot hole is drilled in the bathroom wall, a screw or the like is inserted into the pilot hole, and the bathroom functional member is screwed into the bathroom. Can be mounted on the wall. For this reason, in the general construction procedure of attaching the bathroom functional member to the bathroom wall after attaching the faucet device to the bathroom wall, the pipe is placed near the back surface of the bathroom wall and then drilled down to the bathroom wall. Since the holes will be drilled, there is a possibility that the installer or the like may accidentally damage the piping with a drill.

Therefore, in the bathroom unit, it is desired that damage to the pipes can be suppressed even when the pipes are arranged near the back surface of the bathroom wall.

FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing a part of the bathroom unit according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the bathroom unit 10 includes a bathroom wall 12, a faucet device 14, and a protective member 16. The bathroom unit 10 is installed inside the building frame 2. The bathroom unit 10 is assembled inside the building skeleton 2 or incorporated into the building skeleton 2 to form a bathroom inside the building skeleton 2.

The bathroom unit 10 further includes, for example, a frame 20, a support member 22, a bathtub 24, a washing floor 26, a ceiling panel 28, and the like. The bathroom unit 10 is a so-called unit bath or system bath in which these members are unitized. Further, the bathroom unit 10 further includes, for example, a bathroom functional member such as a mirror 30. The bathroom functional member is not limited to the mirror 30. The bathroom unit 10 is, for example, a lighting device for illuminating the inside of the bathroom, a counter for placing a washbasin, a shower hanger for holding a shower head, and a body for supporting the body and assisting the movement in the bathroom. A handrail or the like may be provided as a bathroom functional member.

The bathroom wall 12 forms the side wall of the bathroom. The bathroom wall 12 is, in other words, a wall panel. The bathroom is generally substantially rectangular. The bathroom unit 10 has, for example, a plurality of bathroom walls 12 surrounding all four sides of the bathroom. As shown in FIG. 1, one side wall of the bathroom may be formed of a plurality of bathroom walls 12 (two in this example).

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the bathroom wall 12 is removed. In other words, FIG. 2 shows a state before the bathroom wall 12, the faucet device 14, and the like are attached. The frame 20 has a substantially rectangular frame shape corresponding to the shape of the bathroom. The frame 20 is used for attaching various parts such as the bathroom wall 12 and the ceiling panel 28. The outer shape of the bathroom wall 12 corresponds to the frame shape of the frame 20. The bathroom wall 12 is attached to the frame 20, for example, by supporting the four sides of the frame 20.

The bathroom wall 12 has a front surface 12a facing the bathroom space BR side and a back surface 12b facing the side wall 2s of the building frame 2. The bathroom wall 12 allows pipes 4 and 6 to be arranged in the space SP between the side wall 2s of the building frame 2 and the back surface 12b.

The pipe 4 is a pipe for supplying water. In other words, the pipe 4 is a water supply pipe. The pipe 6 is a pipe for supplying hot water. In other words, the pipe 6 is a hot water supply pipe. The piping arranged in the space SP may be any piping for supplying water or hot water. In this example, the two pipes 4 and 6 are arranged in the space SP, but the number of pipes arranged in the space SP may be one or three or more. The pipes 4 and 6 may be pipes provided in the building frame 2 or may be pipes provided in the bathroom unit 10 and connected to the pipes of the building frame 2.

The distance L1 between the side wall 2s of the building frame 2 and the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 is, for example, 5 cm or more and 15 cm or less. As a result, the width of the space SP can be narrowed and the bathroom space BR can be widened. Therefore, the pipes 4 and 6 are arranged in the vicinity of the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12. The distance L2 between the pipes 4 and 6 and the back surface 12b is, for example, 0.5 cm or more and 2 cm or less. In the specification of the present application, "near the back surface 12b" means that the distance L2 is within the above range.

The faucet device 14 is attached to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12. The faucet device 14 is attached to, for example, one bathroom wall 12 adjacent to the washroom floor 26 among the plurality of bathroom walls 12 included in the bathroom unit 10.

The faucet device 14 communicates with the pipes 4 and 6. The faucet device 14 has, for example, a water discharge unit 14a, a flow rate adjusting unit 14b, and a temperature adjusting unit 14c. The water discharge unit 14a discharges water supplied from the pipe 4 or hot water supplied from the pipe 6. The faucet device 14 mixes the water supplied from the pipe 4 and the hot water supplied from the pipe 6 and discharges the water from the water discharge unit 14a. The flow rate adjusting unit 14b switches between water discharge and water stoppage from the water discharge unit 14a, and adjusts the flow rate of water or hot water discharged from the water discharge unit 14a. The temperature control unit 14c is used for controlling the temperature of water or hot water discharged from the water discharge unit 14a. The faucet device 14 switches the mixing ratio of the water supplied from the pipe 4 and the hot water supplied from the pipe 6 according to the operation of the temperature control unit 14c. As a result, in the faucet device 14, water or hot water having a flow rate and temperature corresponding to the operation of the flow rate adjusting unit 14b and the temperature adjusting unit 14c is discharged from the water discharge unit 14a.

The pipes 4 and 6 extend in the vertical direction, for example. In this example, the pipes 4 and 6 extend upward from the faucet device 14. The pipes 4 and 6 may extend downward from the faucet device 14, for example. The extending direction of the pipes 4 and 6 is not limited to the vertical direction, but may be the horizontal direction. The extending direction of the pipes 4 and 6 may be any direction. The extending direction of the pipes 4 and 6 may change in the middle, for example, from the left-right direction to the up-down direction.

The protective member 16 is provided in each of the pipes 4 and 6. Therefore, in this example, the bathroom unit 10 has two protective members 16 corresponding to the pipes 4 and 6. Each protective member 16 is provided between the bathroom wall 12 and the pipes 4 and 6.

The resistance of the protective member 16 to the drill is higher than the resistance of the bathroom wall 12 to the drill. More specifically, the resistance of the protective member 16 to a drill inserted perpendicular to the surface 12a is higher than the resistance of the bathroom wall 12 to a drill inserted perpendicular to the surface 12a. The protective member 16 is, for example, a rigid body. As a result, the protective member 16 suppresses interference with the pipes 4 and 6 by the drill inserted from the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 toward the pipes 4 and 6. The protective member 16 prevents the tip of the drill inserted from the surface 12a from coming into contact with the pipes 4 and 6 and damaging the pipes 4 and 6.

Here, the state of "high resistance to a drill" is, for example, a state in which it takes a long time to penetrate when an attempt is made to make a hole with a drill under the same conditions such as a pressing force and a rotation speed. Alternatively, under the same conditions, it is not possible to make a hole. In other words, the penetration resistance of the protective member 16 is higher than the penetration resistance of the bathroom wall 12.

For the bathroom wall 12, for example, a laminate of gypsum board, steel plate, and resin sheet is used. On the other hand, as the protective member 16, a metal plate such as iron, aluminum, or stainless steel is used. The protective member 16 is made of metal. For the protective member 16, for example, a material harder than the bathroom wall 12 is used. By setting the material and thickness of the protective member 16 in this way, the resistance of the protective member 16 to the drill can be made higher than the resistance of the bathroom wall 12 to the drill as described above. Further, the protective member 16 can suppress interference not only with the drill but also with the pipes 4 and 6 such as screws and nails.

Each protective member 16 extends along pipes 4 and 6. In this example, a part of the upper part of the pipes 4 and 6 is not covered with the protective member 16. Not limited to this, each protective member 16 may cover the entire pipes 4 and 6.

For example, in this example, the mirror 30 is attached to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 above the faucet device 14 and overlaps the pipes 4 and 6 in a direction perpendicular to the surface 12a. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to cover the entire region of the pipes 4 and 6 that overlaps with the bathroom functional member such as the mirror 30 with the protective member 16. As a result, it is possible to prevent the drill from interfering with the pipes 4 and 6 when drilling a pilot hole in the bathroom wall 12 when attaching the bathroom functional member. However, it is preferable that each protective member 16 covers the entire pipes 4 and 6. As a result, the interference of the drill with the pipes 4 and 6 can be suppressed more reliably.

The support member 22 extends in a direction intersecting the pipes 4 and 6. In this example, the pipes 4 and 6 extend in the vertical direction, and the support member 22 extends in the horizontal direction. The support member 22 extends in a direction orthogonal to the pipes 4 and 6, for example. For example, when the pipes 4 and 6 extend in the left-right direction, the support member 22 extends in the up-down direction. However, the extending direction of the support member 22 may be any direction that intersects the pipes 4 and 6.

Both ends of the support member 22 are attached to the frame 20. The support member 22 is attached so as to cross the frame 20, for example. The support member 22 supports the protective member 16. The bathroom unit 10 has, for example, two support members 22. One support member 22 supports one end of a long protective member 16 extending along the pipes 4 and 6. The other support member 22 supports the other end of the protective member 16. As a result, each protective member 16 is attached to the frame 20 via the support member 22. The number of the support members 22 may be one or three or more. For example, a third support member 22 may be provided near the center of the elongated support member 22. As a result, the long protective member 16 can be attached more firmly.

4 (a) and 4 (b) are partial cross-sectional views showing the protective member according to the embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view showing the protective member according to the embodiment.
In FIGS. 4 and 5, of the pipes 4 and 6 and the protective member 16, the pipe 4 and the corresponding protective member 16 are shown in an enlarged manner. Hereinafter, the pipe 4 and the corresponding protective member 16 will be described as an example. Since the pipe 6 and the protective member 16 corresponding thereto are substantially the same as the pipe 4 and the protective member 16 corresponding thereto, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the protective member 16 has a plate shape bent in two, and has a first plate portion 41 and a second plate portion 42. The second plate portion 42 is connected to one end in the left-right direction of the first plate portion 41 and extends in a direction intersecting with the first plate portion 41. The angle formed by the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 is, for example, approximately 90 °. That is, the shape of the protective member 16 is a plate shape bent at approximately 90 °. However, the angle formed by the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 is not limited to the above.

The first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 have side surfaces S11 and S21 facing the dominant angle side having a large angle formed by the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42, and the first plate portion 41 and the second plate. It has side surfaces S12 and S22 facing the inferior angle side having a small angle with the portion 42. In the following, the facing side of the side surfaces S11 and S21 may be expressed as the outside, and the facing side of the side surfaces S12 and S22 may be expressed as the inside.

At one end of the first plate portion 41 in the vertical direction, a projecting piece 41a extending outward from the side surface S11 is provided. At one end of the second plate portion 42 in the vertical direction, a projecting piece 42a extending outward from the side surface S21 is provided. The projecting pieces 41a and 42a are formed by, for example, bending one end of the first plate portion 41 and one end of the second plate portion 42 by approximately 90 °.

As shown in FIG. 5, the protective member 16 abuts the projecting pieces 41a and 42a on the supporting member 22 attached so as to cross over the frame 20, and the projecting pieces 41a and 42a are brought into contact with the supporting member 22. It is attached to the support member 22 by screwing it to. Although not shown, the configuration of the other end side (upper end side) of the protective member 16 is the same as the configuration of the one end side (lower end side) of the protective member 16 shown in FIG. As a result, the protective member 16 is attached to the frame 20 via the two support members 22. The mounting structure of the protective member 16 is not limited to the above, and may be any structure.

The protective member 16 has a pair of side end portions 16a and 16b and a corner portion 16t. The side end portion 16a is one end portion in the width direction of the protective member 16. The side end portion 16b is the other end portion of the protective member 16 in the width direction. Here, the "width direction" is a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the pipe 4 and parallel to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12. In this example, the pipe 4 extends in the vertical direction. In this case, the width direction is the left-right direction. In other words, the side end portion 16a is an end portion of the first plate portion 41 opposite to the second plate portion 42. In other words, the side end portion 16b is an end portion of the second plate portion 42 opposite to the first plate portion 41.

The corner portion 16t is a connecting portion between the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42. In this example, the shape of the second plate portion 42 is substantially the same shape as the first plate portion 41, which is line-symmetrical. Therefore, the corner portion 16t is located substantially in the center in the width direction. The shape of the second plate portion 42 may be different from the shape of the first plate portion 41. The corner portion 16t may be arranged at a position deviated from the center in the width direction of the protective member 16. Further, the corner portion 16t may have, for example, a flat or curved chamfer.

The protective member 16 is attached to the support member 22 with the corners 16t facing the back surface 12b side of the bathroom wall 12. More specifically, in the protective member 16, the distance between the corner portion 16t and the back surface 12b is shorter than the distance between the side end portion 16a and the back surface 12b and the distance between the side end portion 16b and the back surface 12b. It is attached to the support member 22 in such an orientation. In other words, the protective member 16 is attached to the support member 22 with the outer side surfaces S11 and S21 facing the back surface 12b side.

When attached as described above, the side surfaces S11 and S21 of the protective member 16 become inclined surfaces inclined with respect to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12. The side surface S11 faces the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12, and the distance between the side surface S11 and the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 increases from the center side in the width direction of the pipe 4 toward one end side in the width direction of the pipe 4. It is an inclined surface that is inclined to. The side surface S21 faces the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12, and the distance between the side surface S21 and the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 increases from the center side in the width direction of the pipe 4 toward the other end side in the width direction of the pipe 4. It is an inclined surface that is inclined like this.

As described above, in this example, the shape of the second plate portion 42 is substantially the same as that of the first plate portion 41, and the corner portion 16t is located substantially in the center in the width direction. The protective member 16 is arranged so that the corner portion 16t overlaps the center in the width direction of the pipe 4 in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12a. Therefore, in this case, the side surfaces S11 and S21 are inclined to both sides with respect to the center in the width direction of the pipe 4. For example, when the length of the second plate portion 42 is different from the length of the first plate portion 41, the corner portion 16t may be arranged so as to be offset from the center in the width direction of the pipe 4. The protective member 16 may have an inclined surface that is inclined so that the distance between the protective member 16 and the back surface 12b increases from the central side in the width direction of the pipe 4 toward at least one end side in the width direction of the pipe 4. ..

In this way, by making the side surfaces S11 and S21 inclined surfaces, as shown in FIG. 4B, the tip DRa of the drill DR inserted from the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 is set to the side surface S11 which is an inclined surface. , Can be slid in S21. That is, the tip DRa of the drill DR can be guided so as to be separated from the pipe 4 in the width direction.

The inferior angle θ of the angle formed by the line perpendicular to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 and the side surface S11 (S21) is 59 ° or less. In this example, since the protective member 16 has a plate shape bent at about 90 °, the inferior angle θ is about 45 °.

The angle α of the tip DRa of the drill DR is generally approximately 118 °. Therefore, the inferior angle θ of the side surfaces S11 and S21 is set to 59 ° or less, which is half of 118 °. As a result, it is possible to prevent the tip DRa of the drill DR from coming into contact with the side surfaces S11 and S21. Further, the inferior angle θ is preferably 30 ° or more. As a result, for example, the angle formed by the side edge S11 and the side surface S21 becomes too acute, and the length of the protective member 16 in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12a (for example, the front-rear direction) becomes excessively long. Can be suppressed. The inferior angle θ is, for example, 30 ° or more and 59 ° or less.

A gap AG1 is provided between the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 and the protective member 16. The gap AG1 does not necessarily have to be provided. The protective member 16 may be in contact with the back surface 12b.

A gap AG2 is provided between the center of the pipe 4 in the width direction and the protective member 16. Further, in this example, the entire protective member 16 is separated from the pipe 4 in the direction perpendicular to the surface 12a. The protective member 16 is not in contact with the pipe 4. The gap AG2 may be provided at least near the center in the width direction of the pipe 4. The protective member 16 may be in contact with the pipe 4 near both ends in the width direction of the pipe 4 while providing the gap AG2 near the center in the width direction of the pipe 4. For example, when the pipe 4 is fixed to the protective member 16 by using a fixing tool such as a binding band, the gap AG2 is provided near the center of the pipe 4 in the width direction and protected near both ends of the pipe 4 in the width direction. It is preferable that the member 16 is brought into contact with the pipe 4. As a result, the pipe 4 can be more firmly fixed to the protective member 16. However, the gap AG2 does not necessarily have to be provided. The protective member 16 may be in contact with the pipe 4 at the center in the width direction of the pipe 4.

As described above, according to the bathroom unit 10 according to the present embodiment, the interference of the drill DR with the pipes 4 and 6 can be suppressed by each of the protective members 16. Therefore, even in the process of drilling a pilot hole in the bathroom wall 12 when attaching a bathroom functional member such as a mirror 30 to the bathroom unit 10, the installer or the like may accidentally damage the pipes 4 and 6 with the drill DR. It can be suppressed.

Further, in the bathroom unit 10, a gap AG1 is provided between the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 and the protective member 16. Thereby, for example, it is possible to suppress the noise caused by the vibration of the pipes 4 and 6 and the protective member 16 caused by the change in water pressure caused by the opening and closing of the faucet device being transmitted to the bathroom wall 12. Further, after the tip DRa of the drill DR penetrates the bathroom wall 12, the tip DRa of the drill DR enters the gap AG1 and collides with the protective member 16. Therefore, it is possible to make the installer or the like feel the change in the resistance for inserting the drill DR, and it is possible to prevent the tip DRa of the drill DR from reaching the protective member 16. It is possible to more reliably prevent the installer or the like from accidentally damaging the pipes 4 and 6 with the drill DR.

Further, in the bathroom unit 10, the protective member 16 can guide the tip DRa of the drill DR inserted from the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 toward the pipes 4 and 6 in a direction away from the pipes 4 and 6. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the drill DR from penetrating the protective member 16 and damaging the pipes 4 and 6.

Further, in the bathroom unit 10, the protective member 16 faces the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12, and the bathroom wall 12 is directed from the center side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6 toward one end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6. It has side surfaces S11 and S21 that are inclined surfaces that are inclined so that the distance between them and the back surface 12b is long. As a result, the tip DRa of the drill DR can be slid on the side surfaces S11 and S21, and the tip DRa of the drill DR can be guided in a direction away from the pipes 4 and 6. As a result, it is possible to prevent the drill DR from penetrating the protective member 16 and damaging the pipes 4 and 6 with a simple configuration.

Further, in the bathroom unit 10, the inferior angle θ of the angle formed by the line perpendicular to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 and the side surfaces S11 and S21 is 59 ° or less. Thereby, for example, when inserting a general drill DR having a tip angle of 118 °, the outer peripheral portion can be brought into contact with the protective member 16 before the center of the tip DRa of the drill DR, and the protective member 16 can be further brought into contact with the protective member 16. The tip DRa of the drill DR can be easily slid along the side surfaces S11 and S21 of the drill DR. Therefore, damage to the pipes 4 and 6 due to the general drill DR can be more reliably suppressed.

Further, in the bathroom unit 10, a gap AG2 is provided between the center of the pipes 4 and 6 in the width direction and the protective member 16. As a result, when the tip DRa of the drill DR penetrates the protective member 16, the tip DRa of the drill DR enters the gap AG2. Therefore, it is possible to make the installer or the like feel the change in the resistance for inserting the drill DR, and it is possible to prevent the tip DRa of the drill DR from penetrating the protective member 16 and reaching the pipes 4 and 6. can. It is possible to more reliably prevent the installer or the like from accidentally damaging the pipes 4 and 6 with the drill DR.

Further, the bathroom unit 10 further includes a frame 20 for attaching the bathroom wall 12 and a support member 22 extending in a direction intersecting the pipes 4 and 6 and having both ends attached to the frame 20 to support the protective member 16. I have. As a result, the protective member 16 is supported by the support member 22 attached so as to cross the frame 20. Therefore, the position of the protective member 16 can be adjusted only by changing the mounting position with respect to the support member 22, and the position of the protective member 16 can be easily adjusted with the pipes 4 and 6. Further, the orientation of the protective member 16 with respect to the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 can be regulated in an intended state. For example, as described above, the protective member 16 can be appropriately attached with the corners 16t facing the back surface 12b side of the bathroom wall 12. Further, the pipes 4 and 6 can be easily fixed to the protective member 16.

6 (a) to 6 (d) are partial cross-sectional views showing a modified example of the protective member according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6A, the protective member 16 further has a third plate portion 43 substantially parallel to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 between the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42. You may.

As shown in FIG. 6B, the shape of the protective member 16 may be a semi-cylindrical shape curved toward the back surface 12b side. In other words, the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 are not limited to a flat plate shape forming a flat inclined surface, but are curved to form a convex curved surface curved so as to bulge toward the back surface 12b side. It may be plate-shaped.

As described above, the shape of the protective member 16 increases the distance from the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 from the central side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6 toward one end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6. Any shape may be used.

As shown in FIG. 6C, the shape of the protective member 16 is the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 from one end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6 toward the other end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6. It may be in the shape of a plate having an inclined surface so as to increase the distance between the two. Also in this case, the surface facing the back surface 12b is not limited to a flat surface, but may be a convex curved surface or the like.

As described above, the shape of the protective member 16 increases the distance from the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 from one end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6 toward the other end side in the width direction of the pipes 4 and 6. It may have any shape.

As shown in FIG. 6D, the shape of the protective member 16 is not limited to the shape in which the facing surface facing the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 is inclined or curved, and the facing surface is the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12. The shape may be substantially parallel to (back surface 12b). As described above, the protective member 16 has higher resistance to the drill DR than the bathroom wall 12, and the drill DR inserted from the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12 toward the pipes 4 and 6 interferes with the pipes 4 and 6. Any member that can suppress the above may be used.

For example, as shown in the above embodiment, when the long metal protective member 16 is supported at both ends by the support member 22, the protective member 16 can be made elastic. In this case, when the tip DRa of the drill DR comes into contact with the protective member 16, the protective member 16 can be elastically deformed by the pressing force of the drill DR.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6D, even when the facing surface of the protective member 16 is substantially parallel to the surface 12a of the bathroom wall 12, the protective member 16 is elastically deformed so as to be twisted by the pressing force of the drill DR. , The facing surface of the protective member 16 can be inclined with respect to the surface 12a. As a result, the tip DRa of the drill DR can be guided in the direction away from the pipes 4 and 6 as in the case where the facing surface is inclined or curved. Further, in this case, the elastic force of the protective member 16 can make the tip DRa of the drill DR more slippery.

In this way, the configuration for guiding the tip DRa of the drill DR in the direction away from the pipes 4 and 6 is not limited to the inclined or curved facing surface, and guides the tip DRa of the drill DR so as to be deflected from the pipes 4 and 6. Any possible configuration may be used.

The shape of the protective member 16 is not limited to the shape of the bent plate, and may be any shape such as a block shape or a columnar shape. The shape of the protective member 16 may be, for example, a triangular columnar shape having an inclined surface inclined with respect to the surface 12a. However, as shown in the above embodiment, by bending the plate to form the protective member 16, for example, the component cost of the protective member 16 can be suppressed. Further, as shown in the above embodiment, by forming the protective member 16 in a two-fold structure having the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42, the first plate portion 41 and the second plate portion 42 can be combined with each other. A part of the pipes 4 and 6 can be inserted between them. Thereby, for example, the distance L1 between the side wall 2s of the building frame 2 and the back surface 12b of the bathroom wall 12 can be shortened. The width of the space SP can be narrowed and the bathroom space BR can be widened.
