Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute the setting of a handrail without entailing any setting of a reinforcing ledge for the handrail onto a building body in advance at a time when the handrail is attached to a wall surface in a bathroom consisting of a bathroom unit (prefabricated bathroom). CONSTITUTION:A mounting base plate 12 is installed in a bathroom handrail 5, and an almost similar opening part 13 little smaller than an area of this base plate 12 is installed in a handrail setting wall panel 3. In addition, each mounting member 14 with a hook member 14b capable of frictionally engaging with columns, studs 4 and the like of a building body is attached to both ends through the opening part 13. After the base plate 12 and a fixed seat 8 are installed tight by a screw nail 10, the handrail 5 is clamped tight with a locking cap nut 11.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handrail for a bathroom, and more particularly to a method and structure for attaching a handrail to a wall of a bathroom unit.

0002

[Prior Art] Currently, bathrooms for general homes are often assembled using factory-produced bathroom units (assembled bathrooms), but in response to the aging society in recent years, handrails are installed in various parts of the bathroom. This is happening more and more often. In Figure 3,
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary exploded perspective view showing an example of a conventional method/structure for attaching a handrail to a bathroom wall in such a case. 1 is a bathroom unit, 2 is a bathtub, 3 is a wall panel, 4 is a building frame pillar, stud, etc., and 5 is a handrail. Bathroom unit 1
As a preparatory work before assembly, the reinforcing beams 6 are attached to the pillars, studs 4, etc. at the locations where the handrails 5 should be attached using nails 7, etc.
After that, the bathroom unit 1 is assembled and the wall panel 3 is installed so that it can be joined to the reinforcing beam 6, and then a fixing wall 8 for a handrail having a male mounting screw on the outer periphery is attached using screw nails 10 together with washers 9. It penetrated through the wall panel 3 and was fixed on the reinforcing beam 6, and was screwed and fixed to the fixed seat 8 using fixing cap nuts 11 on the end brackets 5a at both ends of the handrail 5.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional handrail installation method as described above, it is necessary to attach reinforcing bars 6 for the handrail 5 to the building frame in advance before assembling the bathroom unit 1. Therefore, design drawings, dimensional instructions, etc. are required for positioning at the construction site, which is troublesome for general workers. This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional handrail installation method of this type, and it can be done relatively easily and reliably on-site without the need for the above-mentioned complicated reference procedures. The object of the present invention is to provide a method and a structure by which various types of handrails can be installed.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, a mounting base plate is provided on a bathroom handrail,
An opening slightly smaller than the area of the base plate is bored in the mounting wall panel, and mounting members each having an engaging member capable of engaging and holding the building frame at both ends are assembled through the opening, and the base plate is attached to the wall panel. The above objective is achieved by adopting a method and structure in which the handrail is fixedly installed on the opening and then attached and fixed on the base plate.

[0005]

[Operation] According to the method/structure of this invention as described above, each mounting member can be assembled to the building frame through the opening after the bathroom unit is assembled on site, so the handrail can be installed relatively easily and reliably using the base plate. can be installed.

[0006]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be explained below based on examples. FIG. 1 is a fragmented exploded perspective view of essential parts of an embodiment of the handrail mounting method/structure according to the present invention (a view corresponding to FIG. 3), FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the handrail unit and the mounting member, and FIG. Components that are the same as (equivalent to) are indicated by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations of individual components will be omitted.

(Configuration) In FIGS. 1 and 2, H indicates a handrail unit including a base plate 12 for attaching the handrail 5, and 13 indicates the base plate 12 on the wall panel 3 to be attached.
The openings 14, which are formed in a substantially similar shape with a surface area slightly smaller than the surface area of the openings 14, are a pair of mounting members inserted through the openings 14, and are respectively attached to the fixing plate 14a and its opposite ends with nails or the like. Fixed hook member 14 having a U-shaped cross section
b, and this U-shape has dimensions such that it can be precisely engaged and held by sandwiching both sides of each adjacent pillar, stud, etc. 4 of the building frame from the inside. .

(Installation method) First, the opening 13 is bored inside the mounting position of the base plate 12 of the wall panel 3. Then, after the bathroom unit 1 is assembled, each mounting member is inserted through the opening 13. 14 and engage each adjacent stud 4 by inserting the hook member 14b from the inside,
The intermediate portion of each fixing plate 14a is adjusted to be aligned with the mounting hole positions at both ends of the base plate 12, and the fixing plate 14a is positioned and held. At this time, each fixed plate 14a does not necessarily have to be in a horizontal position, and the columns, studs, etc. of these mounting members 14
The assembly is carried out without using fastening members such as nails, and is held in place by the direct engagement between the studs 4 and the hook members 14b.

After that, the fixing seats 8 are fixed onto each fixing plate 14a of each mounting member 14 with washers 9 and screws 10 via the base plate 12 so as to cover the openings 13, as shown in FIG. By screwing the handrail 5 to the fixing seat 8 using the fixing cap nuts 11 on the end brackets 5a at both ends, the handrail 5 can be easily and reliably attached.

In the above embodiment, after the base plate 12 is attached to the wall 3, the base plate 12 is
Although the handrail 5 is attached to the base plate 12, the handrail 5 may be attached to the base plate 12 in advance, and the base plate 12 to which the handrail 5 is already attached may be attached to the wall 3.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, when installing bathroom handrails, there is no need to attach reinforcing bars etc. to the building frame in advance at the site as in the past, and the installation can be done after the bathroom unit is assembled. The handrail can be attached relatively easily and reliably by engaging and assembling the members to the frame and using the base plate.
