Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to the improvement of a so-called bathroom unit, in which a bathroom is constructed by assembling wall panels, doors/door frames, ceiling panels, etc. to a bathtub with a washing area. .

[Prior Art] In recent years, bathroom units have been widely used not only in hotels and condominiums but also in ordinary homes.

For bathroom units that use a bathtub with a washing area and assemble wall panels, ceiling panels, etc., there is an increasing demand for a faucet to be installed not only on the bathtub side but also on the washing area side. As a method of attaching it to the washing area side, a washing area faucet 8 is attached to a wall panel 4 that is erected as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a shelf 10 is provided on the waist wall of the washing area formed integrally with the bathtub 2, and a washing area faucet 8 is provided in front of the shelf 10.
was installed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, as shown in FIG.
The method of installing the wash faucet 8 in the bathroom requires a piping space between the wall panel 4 and the building wall 12 in order to take out the water supply pipe 9 toward the outside from the wall panel 4. As the interior of the bathroom unit 19 becomes smaller, if water leaks from the connection between the washing faucet 8 and the water supply or hot water supply pipe 9, water leaks to the building outside the bathroom unit 19, causing great damage to the interior materials of the building. The challenge was to give.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the method of attaching the washing area faucet 8 to the front surface of the shelf 10 formed integrally with the bathtub 2 is similar to that of the bathroom unit 19 shown in FIG. If water leaks from the connection with the washing area 9, there is a problem that water will leak into the building, and since the shelf part 10 is integrally formed with the washing area bathtub 1, the overall shape of the washing area bathtub 1 becomes complicated. There are problems in that molding takes a lot of time and is expensive. In addition, since the shelf section 10 is integrally formed with the bathtub 1 with a washing area, the shelf section 10
There is a problem in that the shape, hue, etc. of the device are limited, which naturally limits the design.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and eliminates the need for piping space between the bathroom unit and the architectural wall, allowing the bathroom unit to be made wider by that space, and preventing water from leaking from the piping connections. To prevent water leakage to a building, to easily check and repair it, and to provide a table on which a water faucet is installed in a free shape and color to improve the design and provide it at a low cost.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be explained using FIGS. 1 to 4 corresponding to the embodiments. In a bathroom unit 19 formed by assembling a wall panel 4, a door/door frame 5, a ceiling panel 6, etc. around a bathtub 1, a faucet is installed which is formed separately and perpendicular to and connected to a bathtub apron 14 in a washing area 3. The stand 13 is fixed to the wall surface, and the washing area faucet 8 is attached to the installation stand 13, and an inspection port and an inspection lid 18 are provided on the front wall of the installation stand 13 at least on the bathtub apron 14 side, and piping from the washing area faucet 8 is provided. 9 to the installation stand 13
It is formed by passing through the inside and through the bathtub apron 14 and leading to the outside of the bathroom unit 19.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

Reference numeral 19 designates a bathtub 1 with a washing area by integrally molding a bathtub 2 and a washing area 3 with synthetic resin such as F/R/P, and a wall panel 4 and a door/door frame 5 on the upper edge surface around the bathtub 1 with a washing area. This is a bathroom unit which is assembled by erecting a ceiling panel 6 and placing a ceiling panel 6 above it. 13, as shown in Figure 3,
Separately from the bathtub 1 with a washing area, there is a faucet installation stand made of synthetic resin such as F/R/P and formed into an L-shaped cross section. Along the wall panel 4 that is perpendicular to the wall panel 4 and facing the door/door frame 5, open the upper and lower surfaces with bolts, etc., and fix it with a fixed interval from the lower drain outlet over the entire width of the washing area or a part of the width. The top opening is closed with a counter material 16. and,
A washing area faucet 8 is provided approximately at the center of the front wall of the faucet installation stand 13, and an inspection port and an inspection lid 18 are provided between the faucet 8 and the end of the front wall on the apron 14 side of the front wall. There is. Further, in the space between the front wall of the faucet installation stand 13 and the wall panel 4, a water/hot water supply pipe 9 is installed from an external pipe, passing through the apron 14 and reaching the faucet 8. A connecting portion 15 between the pipe 9 and external piping and a connecting portion with the faucet are located in a faucet installation stand above the washing area. 7
is a bathtub faucet provided on the top surface of the bathtub 2. 17
are a watertight inspection port and inspection lid provided on the bathtub faucet 7 side of the bathtub 2 apron 14;
The inspection port and inspection lid are used for maintenance and inspection of the piping connection on the back side of the bathtub faucet 7.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment, in which the faucet installation stand 13 is made of synthetic resin such as F/R/P and is opened at the bottom and has a substantially L-shaped longitudinal section, and is connected to the apron 14. It is fixed to the wall panel 4 with bolts or the like with a fixed interval between it and the drain port of the washing area 3. An inspection port and an inspection lid 18 are provided on the front wall of the installation stand 13 over the front surface. Further, a washing area faucet 8 is provided on the top surface of the faucet stand 13,
In the space between the front wall and the wall panel 4, a water/hot water supply pipe is installed from an external pipe, passing through the apron and reaching a faucet 8.

In addition, the faucet installation stand of the present invention has an approximately L-shaped cross section,
The vertical section is approximately L-shaped, and at least the bottom is open. However, without being limited to the above embodiment, the faucet installation stand may have a bottom in case water leaks from the piping connection at the bottom. Alternatively, a through hole may be provided so that hot water can easily fall into the washing area.
In addition, although the present invention has a separate wall panel erected in the washing area and a faucet installation stand fixed to the panel, the faucet is installed on the waist wall that is integrally formed in the washing area of a bathtub with a washing area. It is also possible to have a structure in which the stand is fixed. Furthermore, the inspection opening and inspection lid of the faucet installation stand are
Any size or shape can be used as long as it is capable of maintenance and inspection of the connection between a washing area faucet and a water/hot water supply pipe, or the connection between an external piping and a water/hot water supply pipe, and is watertight. good.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention fixes a separately formed faucet installation stand perpendicular to and in contact with the bathtub apron in the washing area to the wall surface, attaches the washing area faucet to the installation stand, and fixes the faucet installation stand to the wall surface. An inspection port and an inspection lid are provided on the front wall at least on the bathtub apron side, and the piping from the wash faucet is routed through the installation stand and through the bathtub apron to the outside of the bathroom unit, resulting in the following effects. It is something to play.

1. The conventional piping space division bathroom unit is now wider and easier to use.

2. Even if water leaks from the water/hot water supply pipes connected to the washroom faucet, the pipe connection is located inside the faucet installation stand inside the room, so water leakage to the outside of the bathroom unit can be completely prevented and maintenance and inspection can be facilitated.

3. Since the faucet installation stand is formed separately from the bathtub with washing water, in the case of a bathtub with washing area having a waist-high wall, it can be made into a simple shape, making molding easier and significantly shortening the molding time, making it possible to provide it at a low cost, and also allowing the color and shape of the faucet installation stand to be freely selected, improving the design.
