Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a unit bathroom, such as a shower unit, which is suitable for independent installation in a house, especially in a washroom or a private room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a house, a unit bathroom such as a shower unit, which is suitable for being independently installed in a bathroom, particularly in a washroom or a private room, has been used for floor panels, side wall panels, ceiling panels, door opening / closing. A columnar bathroom is defined by the doors of the above, and a shower device is provided in the bathroom.
In addition, such a unit bathroom has an extremely small indoor space as compared with a general bathroom. Therefore, in order to reduce the movement in the bathroom by concentrating functions, it is incorporated as a part of the side wall panel near the corner, etc., and the functions such as shelves and lighting equipment are concentrated there. It is conventionally known to provide a storage panel (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-8316, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-761).
No. 06 publication).

The bathroom storage panel arranged in such a shower room is mounted on the storage panel 3 itself so as to be opened to the bathroom (shower space) side, as shown in FIG. A recess that forms the portion 5 and the storage portion 9 is provided, and the lighting fixture mounting portion 5 and the storage portion 9 are separated by the partition wall 7 and are arranged in an independent positional relationship. The luminaire 31 attached to the storage panel 3 is usually arranged as shown in FIG.
The luminaire main body 33 fixed to the cover is covered with a globe 34 and is screwed with a screw 32 to be assembled.

The partition wall 7 for partitioning the lighting fixture mounting portion 5 and the storage portion 30 is convenient for placing the shower head 24 when viewed from the height position thereof, so that the shower head 24 is hooked there. A fixing bracket 23 is provided.

[0005]

However, in the conventional bathroom storage panel 3 as described above, the lighting fixture 31 attached thereto covers the lighting device main body 33 with the globe 34 and fastens it with the screw 32. Since it is assembled by assembling, a relatively large gap S is required between the lighting fixture 31 and the lighting fixture mounting portion 5 as shown in FIG. 8 for the convenience of attaching and detaching the gloves by screwing. is there. Therefore, there has been a problem that the width of the storage panel 3 has to be made wider than necessary, and the storage portion becomes relatively narrow.

Further, for the same reason as above, the luminaire 3
1 is not so deeply embedded in the storage panel 3 that the lighting fixture 31 projects from the surface of the storage panel 3,
Therefore, when the shower head 24 is removed from or attached to the fixture 23, there is a risk that it may hit the lighting fixture 31.

Further, the partition wall 7 formed between the luminaire 31 and the storage section 9 blocks the light from the luminaire 31 to darken the inside of the storage section 9 (D portion in FIG. 8). It is inconvenient for cleaning and is not preferable from the viewpoint of aesthetics. Considering these points,
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, the lighting equipment is deeply embedded in the storage panel so as not to get in the way, and the gloves can be easily attached / detached without expanding the width of the storage panel. It is an object of the present invention to provide a unit bathroom having a bathroom storage panel that is convenient to use and has excellent aesthetics.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises constituent members such as a floor panel, a side wall panel, a storage panel, a ceiling panel, a door for opening / closing an entrance, and the like. In the unit bathroom described above, the storage panel is provided with a storage portion provided with a recess that is opened to the inside of the bathroom, and the globe is rotated with respect to the main body of the lighting device above the storage portion. And / or a luminaire adapted to be attached by pressing.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as the storage panel, a lighting panel is attached to the top surface of the storage section and a globe is attached to the lower side of the lighting panel, or the storage panel of the storage section is used. For example, a removable shelf is provided to divide the interior, and a storage panel is used that makes the shelf transparent. In addition, as the shelf, a net-like one or one assembled with wire rods may be used.

The lighting fixture used for the storage panel of the unit bathroom of the present invention is of a type in which the globe is screwed onto the lighting fixture main body, or the globe is pushed into the lighting fixture main body, instead of screwing. It is possible to use a type in which elastic locking pieces or the like provided on at least one of them are used to connect the two. In addition, in the storage panel of the unit bathroom of the present invention, in addition to the above configuration, a light reflecting member is attached or coated on the inner surface of the panel wall around the lighting fixture, or the inner surface of itself is mirror-finished. Alternatively, it is preferable to dispose a panel-shaped light reflecting member inside the panel wall so that the light from the lighting fixture is reflected to the surroundings.

[0011]

[Operation] In the unit bathroom of the present invention configured as described above, since the lighting fixture is mounted above the inside of the storage section itself in the bathroom storage panel, it is deeply embedded in the storage panel. Therefore, it does not protrude from the surface of the storage panel and therefore does not interfere with the installation and removal of the shower head, and the shelves are made transparent so that the lighting fixtures such as partition walls that have been conventionally provided. Since there is no obstacle that blocks the light between the storage compartment and the storage compartment, the light reaches every corner of the storage compartment and does not become dark.

Further, since the luminaire is mounted by rotating or pressing the globe with respect to the luminaire main body, a large space is required around the luminaire when attaching / detaching the globe. Therefore, it is easy to remove and install the gloves from the main body of the luminaire without widening the width of the bathroom storage panel as in the case of using the conventional screw type.
Since a sufficient storage space can be secured, the space of the unit bathroom can be effectively used.

In addition, by finishing the inner surface of the panel wall to a mirror surface or arranging a light reflecting member on the inside, the light from the luminaire is reflected to improve the lighting efficiency and save the power consumption. The interior of the unit bathroom can be brightened under these conditions, and if a transparent or semi-transparent door is provided in the storage unit, the aesthetics will be improved by the indirect light coming from the inside of the storage unit to the outside through the door. ..
