When using a shower in a shower room equipped with such shower equipment, in order to adjust the temperature of the shower water to the appropriate temperature, mix the hot water and water by turning the handles of the mixer faucet in the shower room as appropriate. It is necessary to adjust the ratio, but since the shower water that is initially ejected from the shower head may be cold water or high-temperature water with incomplete temperature control, when using the shower, the shower water that is initially ejected from the shower head may be Currently, shower water is sprayed onto the hands or feet, and the temperature of the shower water is judged based on the sense of warmth of the hands or feet and adjusted accordingly, and from the beginning it has been difficult to use shower water at an appropriate temperature.

Therefore, when you take off your clothes and enter the shower room, first spray cold water etc. from the shower head and splash it on your feet, wait until the shower water is adjusted to the appropriate temperature by the feeling of warmth from your feet, and then move the shower head to the wall of the shower room. The procedure involved fixing the device on the head and using the shower in earnest.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation, and is a shower system that allows the use of shower water that has been adjusted to an appropriate temperature from the beginning without getting one's feet wet in the shower room. The purpose is to provide a drainage structure for the shower room, and its gist is that a hook member capable of supporting the shower head is provided inside the erected side wall surface constituting the shower room, and the shower head is hung on the hook member. A drain port for collecting shower water spouted from the shower head under the conditions is provided in an opening shape above the hook member, a cover is attached to the drain port from the outside of the side wall surface, and a drain pipe communicating with the cover is provided. It is arranged vertically on the outside of the side wall surface.

(Function) A drain port is provided on the side wall of the shower room, and the shower water is discharged from the drain port through the cover to the outside through the drain pipe. Shower water can be drained well without wetting the floor, etc. Therefore, shower water that is adjusted to an appropriate temperature can be used immediately in the shower room, and clothes are not wet due to the initial cold water ejected from the shower water. It never happens.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an overall side view of the shower unit, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a side panel constituting the shower unit.

In the figure, the shower unit 1 has a shower chamber S formed inside by an upper top plate 1a, a lower floor pan 1b, and a plurality of side wall panels 1c erected between the top plate 1a and the floor pan 1b. The shower unit 1 has a box shape and forms a side wall of the shower unit 1.
A mixing faucet 2 capable of appropriately mixing hot water and water is installed on the side wall panel 1c, and a shower hose 5 is connected to the outlet of the mixing faucet 2. A shower head 6 capable of spouting out shower water is connected to the section, and this shower head 6 can be hung on a hook 8 fixed to the side wall panel 1c.

A water pipe 3 that supplies water into the mixing faucet 2 from the outside of the side wall panel 1c and a hot water pipe 4 that supplies hot water to the mixing faucet 2 are connected to the mixing faucet 2. Water supply handle 2 that can adjust the amount of water mixed in
b, and a hot water supply handle 2 that can adjust the amount of hot water mixed in.
A is provided.

Further, in this embodiment, when the shower head 6 is hooked to the hook 8, a drain port 7 is bored in the wall surface of the side wall panel 1c where the upper end of the shower head 6 is located. This drain port 7 has a substantially rectangular opening, and a drain cover 9 is attached to the drain port 7 from the outside of the side wall panel 1c, and the shower head 6 is connected to the drain port 7.
When the shower head 6 is oriented and hung on the hook 8, the upper end of the shower head 6 is placed within the drain cover 9. The upper end of a vertical drain pipe 10 is connected to the lower end of this drain cover 9.
The vertical drain pipe 10 is installed outside the side wall panel 1c along the side wall panel 1c, and the vertical drain pipe 10 and the shower room S are in communication via the drain port 7. Further, a trap portion 10 formed in a U-shape is provided at the upper portion of the vertical drain pipe 10.
A is present to prevent foul odors, harmful bacteria, etc. from rising up the vertical drain pipe 10. Further, the lower end of the vertical drain pipe 10 is connected to a horizontal drain pipe 11 which is piped horizontally, and the end 11a of this horizontal drain pipe 11 is connected to the drain formed in the floor pan 1b of the shower unit 1. Connected to the mouth, floor pan 1b
Hot water, etc. flowing above can be drained away. or,
13 in the figure is a hose hook to which a shower hose can be hung, and 12 in the figure is a lighting lamp provided above the drain port 7. In the shower unit 1 in which such a side wall panel 1c is installed, the shower After the user enters the room S with his clothes on and directs the upper end of the shower head 6 toward the drain 7 side and hooks it to the hook 8, he opens the hot water handle 2a and the water supply handle 2b of the mixing faucet 2. By appropriately rotating the shower head 6, the initial shower water gushing out from the shower head 6 can be discharged from the drain port 7 through the drain cover 9 and the vertical drain pipe 10, and the user can insert his/her hand into the drain port 7. The shower water can be adjusted to an appropriate temperature by manually checking the temperature of the shower water spouted into the drain cover 9 and adjusting the mixing faucet 2 as appropriate.
Since the shower water spouted from the shower head 6 at this initial stage is drained into the vertical drain pipe 10 through the drain port 7, the floor pan 1b is not wetted by the initial shower water, and the user can wear clothes even if he or she is still wearing clothes. never gets wet. After that, when the shower water spouted from the shower head 6 reaches the appropriate temperature,
