Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a mounting gap forming device that forms a mounting gap between a bathtub and a chamber wall in order to fill a closing device that closes the gap between the two. It is.

[Prior art and its problems]

Caulking or sealing material is filled between the bathtub and the chamber wall to provide a sealing function, but a prerequisite for this is that an installation gap of the same width must be secured over the entire length between the bathtub rim and the chamber wall. Must be.

Conventionally, when securing this mounting gap, a mounting gap forming device shown in FIG. 3 has been used.

In this prior art, an elastic engaging piece 200 whose upper end serves as a guide surface 200' is fixed to a chamber wall C, and the tip of the bathtub rim 1B is engaged with this elastic engaging piece 200 using the guide surface 200' as a guide. The elastic force acting on the elastic hooking piece 200 draws the chamber wall C toward the bathtub B, thereby securing the mounting gap A.

Incidentally, the mounting gap A must have the same width of about 3 mm over the entire length.

However, there are partially wide and narrow spots between the bathtub rim 1B and the chamber wall C due to bathtub molding errors and chamber construction errors, and elastic force (attraction force) acting on the elastic hooking piece 200 occurs. Due to the limited space, there are cases where the chamber wall C cannot be pulled together, and it is not possible to form a mounting gap A of the same width over the entire length.
This prevents problems such as parts of the sealant or caulking material falling off and accelerating the deterioration of the sealing function, or the filling of the sealant or caulking material appearing as a wave pattern similar to the installation gap, which impairs the aesthetic appearance of the interior. cause

[Technical issues]

The technical problem of the present invention is to make it possible to form a mounting gap of the same width over the entire length between the bathtub rim and the chamber wall with a simple structure.

[Technical means]

The technical means of the present invention consists of a horizontal plate for rim attachment that is fixed to the lower surface of the bathtub rim, and a vertical plate for chamber wall attachment that is suspended from the base end of the horizontal plate for rim attachment and fixed to the room wall. A shaped metal fitting is formed, a horizontal plate for rim attachment of the shaped metal fitting is fixed at a position where the end face of the bathtub rim and the base end portion of the horizontal plate for rim attachment constitute a step part for forming a mounting gap, and By tightening the vertical mounting plate to the chamber wall, the chamber wall is pulled together, and the portion of the stepped portion facing the end surface of the bathtub rim is closed by the chamber wall, thereby forming a mounting gap.

〔Example〕

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 in the figure is a shaped metal fitting.

This type of metal fitting 1 is formed of a horizontal plate 1a for rim attachment that is fixed to the lower surface of the bathtub rim 1B, and a vertical plate 1b for wall attachment that is hung from the base end of the horizontal plate 1a for rim attachment and fixed to the chamber wall C. 2 to 3 mm at desired length
It is a thick metal profile.

The rim mounting horizontal plate 1a has a mounting hole 2 formed in a portion corresponding to the screw hole 10 drilled in the lower surface of the bathtub rim 1B, and the screw hole 1 is inserted through the mounting hole 2.
When the set screw 3 is screwed into the bottom surface of the bathtub rim 1B and fixed to the lower surface of the bathtub rim 1B, a stepped portion 4 for forming the mounting gap A is formed between the end surface of the bathtub rim 1B and the base end portion 1a' of the horizontal plate 1a for rim mounting. It is formed to the width of the composition.

The vertical plate 1b for attaching to the room wall is attached to the room wall C in the middle part.
A mounting hole 2 for a tapping screw 5 which is tightened and fastened to the mounting hole 2 is bored.

In this embodiment, the bathtub B is a cast enamel bathtub, and is shown in a state where it is installed in a half of a sanitary equipment room in which a wall panel 102 is erected on a wall mounting surface 101 around a floor pan 100 to form a room wall C. In this bathtub B, the screw holes 101 are pre-drilled at appropriate intervals over the entire length of the lower surface of one side of the bathtub rim 1B.

Next, the order in which the mounting gap A is formed using the mounting gap forming device in this embodiment will be explained.
By inserting the fixing screw 3 into the screw hole 10 drilled in the lower surface of the bathtub rim 1B and fixing the rim mounting horizontal plate 1a to the lower surface of the bathtub rim 1B, the shaped fittings 1 are attached to the bathtub. Fix it to the bottom surface of rim 1B.
At this time, a stepped portion 4 for forming a mounting gap A with a width of about 3 mm is automatically formed between the end surface of the bathtub rim 1B and the base end portion 1a' of the horizontal plate 1a for rim mounting on which the vertical plate 1b for mounting the chamber wall is vertically disposed. It is formed.

Next, the tapping screws 5 are fastened to the chamber wall B by inserting them through the mounting holes 2 formed in the vertical wall mounting plate 1b. At this time, the chamber wall C corresponding to the mounting hole 2
Drill a pilot hole in the section.

When the tapping screws 5 are tightened, the tapping screws 5 enter while tapping, and the chamber wall C is drawn toward the chamber wall mounting vertical plate 1b. 1
A mounting gap A having a width of about 3 mm is formed by closing the open part facing the end face B and opening the upper part.

It goes without saying that the reason why the chamber wall C is pulled together when the tapping screw 5 is tightened is that the shaped fitting 1 has excellent rigidity and does not deform. It is also optional to insert a nut into a portion of the chamber wall C corresponding to the mounting hole 12 and tighten the chamber wall C with a bolt. 6 is a caulking material.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, it is explained that the shaped fittings 1 are fixed at appropriate intervals over the entire length of one side of the bathtub rim 1B, but the shaped fittings 1 are attached to the bathtub rim 1.
It is also possible to use one shaped metal fitting 1 having approximately the same length as one side of B.

[Function and effect of the idea]

As described above, the present invention consists of a horizontal plate for rim mounting that is fixed to the lower surface of the bathtub rim, and a vertical plate for wall mounting that is hung from the base end of the horizontal plate for rim mounting and fixed to the room wall. A metal fitting is formed, and a horizontal plate for rim attachment of the shaped metal fitting is fixed at a position where the end face of the bathtub rim and the base end portion of the horizontal plate for rim attachment form a step for forming a mounting gap, and the horizontal plate for rim attachment is fixed to the chamber wall. By tightening and fastening the vertical plate to the chamber wall, the chamber wall is pulled together and the section of the stepped portion that faces the end surface of the bathtub rim is closed off by the chamber wall, thereby creating an installation gap, resulting in the following effects. .

To reliably form a mounting gap of the same width over the entire length between a bathtub and a room wall.

Therefore, unlike conventional sealants and caulking, parts of the sealant or caulking material may fall off and the sealing function deteriorates quickly, or the sealant or caulking material that is filled may be exposed in a wave pattern similar to the installation gap and cause damage to the interior. It is possible to solve the problems of the prior art that spoil the aesthetic sense.

Since it is composed of shaped metal fittings and fasteners (screws), the structure is simple and the cost is low.

Thus, the intended purpose can be achieved.
