Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a wall panel that is incorporated into the wall of an equipment unit, such as a bath unit assembled with tile panels.

As shown in Fig. 1, a conventional wall panel 1 has an open square box-shaped storage section 2 for storing soap, etc. on its front side, and holes 3a are bored in the four corners of this wall panel 1. It was attached to the wall panel 1 using a through screw 4 and a hole 3b drilled near the apex of the rear tile panel 5. In FIG. 1, two holes 3a and 3b are formed on each side in the longitudinal direction, but more often three holes are formed on each side. With this installation method, firstly, it is very difficult to accurately drill holes 3b in the tile surface of tile panel 5 to match the holes 3a in wall panel 1, and secondly, when installing piping on the back side of wall panel 1. It was necessary to easily remove the wall panel 1 for inspection, but it took a lot of effort to remove the screws 4 each time.
The wall panel 1 attached to the tile panel 5 protrudes into the bathroom from the tile surface of the tile panel 5, making the already narrow bathroom even narrower. Since the wall panel 1 could not be held in place by the screws 4, the surface of the wall panel 1 became uneven and a gap was created between the wall panel 1 and the tile surface, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

The present invention is a mounting structure for a wall panel and a tile panel devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and will be described below based on examples. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing how the wall panel according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the main panel 6) is fitted into the tile panel 5, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the state where the main panel 6 is fitted.
A shown in FIG. 2 with the mounting structure of the and tile panel 5.
- An enlarged end view in the A direction, Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views of the locking tool 7 and filling member 8 used during installation, and Figure 6 is a tile with the locking tool 7 screwed to the frame 9 in the longitudinal direction of the back side. 5 is a back view of panel 5. FIG. This panel 6 has a storage section 2 on its front side, and its four sides are all bent toward the back side to form a bent section 10. Furthermore, small ribs 11 are integrally provided along the bent portion 10 in the direction perpendicular to the sides of the bent portion 10 in the long side direction to prevent the panel 6 from easily coming off after being attached. Also, the tile panel 5 is a normal one and the substrate 5b
A large number of tiles 5a are pasted on the entire surface of one side (front side), and on the other side (back side), as shown in FIG. It is fixed with an agent. The locking tool 7 shown in FIG. 4 has a screw 1 in its center.
The main plate 7 has a screw hole 12a through which it is fixed.
a, a dogleg-shaped side plate 7b on one side, and a narrow side plate 7c on the other side. By doing so, a panel fitting space for fitting the end portion of the main panel 6 is formed between the side plate 7b and the frame 9 as shown in FIG. 3. Further, the stuffing member 8 shown in FIG. 5 is made of resin such as PVC or ABS, and has one side 8a flat and the other side 8b slightly tapered toward the middle. Thickness t and width 12 of stuffing member 8
is set so that the bent portion 10 of the main panel 6 is fitted into it and forms a joint portion 14, as shown in FIG.

Next, the mounting structure of the present panel 6 according to the present invention will be explained. First, screws 12 are used to attach fasteners at four locations above and below one side of the frame 9 in the long side direction, which is fixed to the back surface of the tile panel 5 at the site. The locking tool 7 is fixed by separating the dogleg-shaped side plate 7b of 7 from the outer surface of the frame 9 by the width of the rib 11. Next, the main panel 6 is fitted into the space 13 between the side surfaces of the tile panels 5 and 5' (indicated by arrow B) necessary for installing a piping unit, etc., and its bent portion 10 and rib 11 are connected to the locking tool 7. The side plate 7b and the protruding side 7b' of the main plate 7a are brought into contact with each other. Next, the stuffing member 8 is stuffed between the bent part 10 and the frame 9 so that one tapered side 8b of the stuffing member 8 is in contact with the bent part 10, and one flat side 8a is in contact with the outer surface of the frame 9. After that, a common joint compound is filled into the joint part 14 between the bent part 10 and the side surface of the tile panel 5, and the work of attaching the main panel 6 and the tile panel 5 according to the present invention is completed.

In this mounting structure between the main panel 6 and the tile panel 5, first, the dogleg-shaped side plate 7b of the locking tool 7 moves in the direction of arrow C (shown in FIG. 3) as a spring, so that the protruding side of the side plate 7b is moved. 7b' presses the bent portion 10 in the direction of arrow C. As a result, the bent portion 10 is slightly deformed by the pressure, the contact area between the bent portion 10 and the tapered single side 8b increases, and the mutual pressing force between the bent portion 10 and the stuffing member 8 becomes stronger, causing backlash in the main panel 6. There is no possibility that the main panel 6 will fall out or fall out in the forward direction. Rib 1 integrally molded with bent portion 10
1 is located at the back of the filling member 8, so it has the effect of preventing the main panel 6 from slipping out to the front. In addition, the filling member 8 has a vertical length 11 that is almost the same as the locking member 7 in FIG. 5, but is not limited to this. By packing it in as a long item, it also has a waterproof function from the joint portion 14. Furthermore, although one side 8b of the stuffing member 8 is tapered, it is not limited to this shape, and may be flat like the one side 8a.

The effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. When installing this panel, there is no need to drill holes in the tile panel, and the installation work efficiency is improved by simply fitting the panel.

2. Since this panel is fitted into the space between the tile panels, the front surface of this panel is slightly larger than the tile surface of the tile panel, allowing for effective use of the bathroom.

3. Even when removing the main panel once it has been installed, it is sufficient to simply scrape off the joint material between the folded part and the side surface of the tile panel, and then remove the filling material. This effect is great when processed.

4 In addition, by forming the padding member of the present invention as described in the claims 2 and 3 of the utility model registration, the entire surface of the panel to be bent in the longitudinal direction can be held down by the locking tool and the padding member. Therefore, unevenness does not occur on the surface of this panel.
