Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to waterproof pans used when constructing unit bathrooms, etc., and is an improved product that enables more effective use of indoor space. It is something.

[Conventional technology]

A unit bathroom is usually constructed by erecting a wall unit such as a tile panel around the periphery of a waterproof pan placed on a construction floor. The waterproof pan has a structure in which a waist wall part is integrally molded around the floor part, and is widely used.

Incidentally, the bathroom must be equipped with water or hot water supply facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to install faucet fittings on the inner wall surface and to construct water or hot water supply piping between the wall unit and the building frame. Conventionally, the mounting structure of this faucet fitting is
There are two main types. This will be explained using drawings. In addition. In the drawing, 10 is waterproof pan, 11
is the floor part of the waterproof pan, 12 is the waist wall part, 13 is the piping,
14 is a faucet fitting, 15 is a wall unit, and Q is a building frame.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional structure in which a faucet fitting 14 is attached to a lower portion of a wall unit 15. Generally, the waterproof pan 10 is manufactured under predetermined standards, so it is difficult to freely change the height dimension of the waist wall portion 12. Therefore, in the structure shown in the same figure,
If an attempt is made to attach the faucet fitting 14 to the side of the waterproof pan 10, it must be attached at a considerably low position due to strength constraints, etc., resulting in very poor usability. Therefore, the faucet fitting 14 is usually attached to the wall unit 15 side. In this case, a space S is provided by appropriately separating the building frame Q and the wall unit 15, thereby securing a space for piping.

Another mounting structure, as shown in FIG. 4, is to form a counter 20 on the upper part of the waist wall part 12, and to attach the faucet fitting 14 to the upper surface thereof. In this case, the water supply or hot water supply piping 13 is accommodated in the space T below the counter 20.
Therefore, by placing the wall unit 15 close to the building frame Q, the space volume of the bathroom can be made larger than that described above.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the mounting structure shown in FIG. 3, a space S is required between the building frame Q and the wall unit 15 to ensure space for piping. Therefore, the space S
There is a problem in that the space volume of the bathroom is reduced by that amount. Furthermore, since the faucet fitting 14 is attached to the wall unit 15, the installation position thereof is relatively high, which also has the disadvantage that it is difficult to operate the faucet while sitting on the floor 11. In particular, when using hot water while washing hair, it is difficult to operate the faucet. Moreover, since the faucet fitting 14 protrudes from the wall surface, the usable space in the bathroom is narrowed both psychologically and practically, and there is a risk of accidental injury to the user.

In the mounting structure shown in Fig. 4, the counter 20
The disadvantage is that water tends to accumulate on the top surface. Therefore, the moisture in the bathroom becomes difficult to eliminate, making it difficult to dry the bathroom. Furthermore, dirt tends to adhere and remain on the surface, which tends to invite the proliferation of various bacteria, resulting in a problem of impaired hygiene. Furthermore, since the operating position of the faucet fitting 14 is slightly higher than the upper end of the waist wall portion 12, the operability is still poor.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made to solve and eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and the gist of the solution is that a waist wall is formed upright on all or a part of the periphery of the floor,
A sloped surface portion bent outward is provided at the upper part of the waist wall portion, and the sloped surface portion serves as a mounting portion for a faucet fitting. In addition, here, faucet fittings are:
It consists of a water and/or hot water discharge part, an operation handle, a temperature adjustment handle, a faucet body, etc., and includes not only those that are constructed integrally, but also those that are made separately and combined. It is something that

[Effect]

According to the waterproof pan having the above configuration, when a faucet fitting or the like is attached to the inclined surface portion, the space below the back surface of the inclined surface portion can be used as a piping space for water supply or hot water supply. Therefore, the wall unit can be erected close to the building frame. Furthermore, by forming the inclined surface part, there is no part protruding toward the indoor side, which not only substantially expands the volume, but also visually expands the indoor space.
Furthermore, since the surface is inclined, water does not accumulate, and dirt is prevented from adhering or remaining. Since the inclined surface part is used as the attachment part of the faucet fitting, the operation handle of the attached faucet fitting becomes very easy to operate. This is because when a bather is sitting facing the faucet, which is the normal usage mode, the position and height of the operating handle of the faucet is adjusted slightly upward at an angle where it is easy to reach. This is because. Further, since the inclined surface portion is used as the mounting portion, the area to which the faucet fitting can be attached is increased. For this reason, even if the faucet fitting is installed on the floor side of the inclined surface, no problem arises in terms of strength.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
Used when constructing a unit bathroom,
This is applied to a waterproof pan P integrated with a bathtub.
In the figure, 1 is a floor section serving as a washing area, 2 is a bathtub, and 3 is a waist wall section formed upright around the floor section 1. In this embodiment, the upper part of one side of the waist wall part 3 is bent outward to form the inclined surface part 4. The angle of inclination of the inclined surface portion 4 is preferably within the range of 20 to 70 degrees, and optimally about 45 degrees.

On the upper surface 4a of the inclined surface portion 4, there are provided a water and/or hot water spout 5, an operation handle 6, and a temperature adjustment handle 7.
etc. faucet fittings are installed. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, a space R formed between the waterproof pan P and the building frame Q, that is, below the back surface 4b of the inclined surface portion 4, is used as a space for the water/hot water supply piping 8. It's being used. By adopting such a structure, it is not only possible to bring the wall unit 9 such as a tile panel closer to the building frame Q, but also it is possible to make the wall unit 9 closer to the building frame Q. The protruding part becomes smaller. Thus, the bathroom volume is substantially increased and visual enlargement is provided.

Moreover, by attaching a faucet fitting to the inclined surface portion 4, operability is improved. This is because the position of the operating handle 6 etc. is at an appropriate height and its direction is diagonally upward, so the floor part 1
This is because it is extremely easy to reach even while sitting on the desk.

Furthermore, even if washing water or the like spills onto the inclined surface portion 4, it quickly flows down without stagnating. Therefore, the adhesion and remaining of dirt is prevented, resulting in good hygiene. In addition, since no water or the like is stored, it has excellent drying properties.

The implementation of the present invention is not limited to the bathtub-integrated waterproof pan described above. For example, it can be applied to waist-high waterproof pans that allow a separate bathtub to be installed. Also,
The waist wall portion may be provided not around the entire circumference of the floor portion but only in a part of the floor portion. Further, the inclined surface portion does not need to be provided over the entire area of the waist wall portion, and it is sufficient if it is provided at the location where the faucet fittings and piping are to be installed.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, when a unit bathroom or the like is constructed using the present invention, (a) By attaching faucet fittings, etc. to the sloped surface formed at the upper part of the waist wall, the room can be improved both practically and visually. Effective space expands.

(b) By forming the sloped surface part, water does not accumulate, resulting in excellent drying properties, and dirt is prevented from adhering to or remaining on the surface, thereby improving hygiene.

C. Since the inclined surface part is used as the attachment part of the faucet fitting, it becomes very easy to operate the operation handle of the attached faucet fitting. This is because when a bather is sitting facing the faucet, which is the normal usage mode, the position and height of the operating handle of the faucet is adjusted slightly upward at an angle where it is easy to reach. This is because. This improved operability is particularly effective when the user's face is facing downward, such as when washing hair.

D. Since the inclined surface part is used as the mounting part, the area where the faucet fittings can be mounted becomes larger. Therefore, the installation work of the faucet fittings is easy.

E. Since a large area can be used as the mounting area,
Even if the mounting position of the faucet fitting is set on the floor side of the inclined surface part, no problems arise in terms of strength. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the length of the discharge section.

This effect is brought about. Therefore, more broadly,
It can satisfy all demands for cleaner and more comfortable use.

In short, the present invention provides a waterproof pan that can create an extremely comfortable indoor space.
