Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathroom unit including, for example, a hand shower.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Some bathroom units equipped with a hand shower have a structure in which a footrest is provided on the wall surface below the wall-hanging position of the hand shower for the purpose of improving the convenience of using the shower (for example, actual fairness). 4-20920).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the above-mentioned bathroom unit with a footrest, conventionally, the footrest is integrally formed on the wall panel that constitutes the unit chamber, which causes a problem that mold release is difficult and moldability is poor. there were.

In recent bathroom units, there is a structure in which a shower tower (storage tower) is provided on a wall panel for the purpose of improving functionality and design, but this type of unit It was difficult to arrange the above-mentioned footrest on the. In other words, the footrest should be installed in the lower part of the shower tower in consideration of its function, but there is usually an opening for inspection inside the tower at that part. The placement parts of the stand interfere with each other.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a footrest on the lower portion of a storage tower or the like, and moreover, to arrange the tower placement portion. It is to provide a bathroom unit that does not require complicated wall panel shapes.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A structure for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. According to the present invention, an inspection port 3 opened at a lower portion of a storage tower 2 provided on a wall panel 1b is provided. In addition, the makeup lid 4 has a shape that can be covered from the inside of the unit and is detachably attached to the storage tower 2. The makeup lid 4 has a projection 4a for placing a foot. It is characterized by being formed.

[0007]

[Action]

 By adding a function as a footrest to the makeup lid 4 for blinding the inspection port 3 for internal maintenance of the storage tower 2, it is possible to install a footrest on the storage tower 2. Moreover, since the footrest is not integrally formed with the wall panel 1b, the shape of the wall panel 1b does not become complicated.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the overall structure of the embodiment.

The unit main body 1 is mainly composed of a waterproof floor pan 1a, wall panels 1b, 1c, ... 1d standing upright at the edges thereof, and a ceiling panel 1e. The storage tower 2 is provided on the wall panel 1b.

Now, the lower portion of the storage tower 2 has a shape that is recessed inward, and the inspection port 3 is opened in the vertical wall 21 a of the recess 21. Further, an inner lid 3a for closing the inspection port 3 from the inside of the unit is attached to the vertical wall 21a by screwing. The makeup lid 4 integrally formed with the footrest projection 4a is fitted into the recess 21.

The decorative lid 4 is detachably attached to the vertical wall portion 21a of the recess by a hooking mechanism using a pair of fittings 5a and 5b. That is, the mounting is carried out by slightly fitting the edge of the decorative lid 4 into the concave portion 21, and in this state, the decorative lid 4 is lifted upward and further pushed, so that the tip of the mounting bracket 5b on the decorative lid side is This can be easily done by inserting the metal fitting 5a on the concave side in accordance with the operation.

Then, in such a mounted state, the lower surface of the decorative lid 4 contacts the floor surface 11a of the waterproof floor pan, and the front surface thereof is substantially flush with the front surface of the storage tower 2. Therefore, even if the foot is placed on the protrusion 4a of the makeup lid 4, the makeup lid 4 does not wobble. Further, since the portion other than the protrusion 4a does not protrude from the front surface of the storage tower 2, it is also excellent in terms of design and safety. Note that the makeup lid 4 can be easily removed by performing the procedure reverse to the above.

It goes without saying that the mounting fittings 5a and 5b used for mounting the cosmetic lid 4 on the storage tower 2 can be replaced with other equivalent alternative means. One example thereof will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3A is a view showing the periphery of the recess of the storage tower, and FIG. 3B is a view showing the back surface of the decorative lid. In the figure, it is removably mounted on the vertical wall 21b of the recess by a hooking mechanism using a pair of mounting members 5c and 5d. That is, the metal fitting 5c on the cosmetic lid side is a short pipe-shaped member fixed in parallel to the back surface of the cosmetic lid with a slight distance from the back surface, and the metal fitting 5d on the concave portion side is made of elastic stainless steel. The groove-shaped member is configured to sandwich and hold the pipe-shaped member of the metal fitting 5c on the decorative lid side.

Therefore, the mounting is carried out only by holding the projection 4c on the front side of the decorative lid 4b and pushing it in alignment with the recess 21c as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. The pipe-shaped member is elastically deformed to expand and fit the groove-shaped member of the metal fitting 5d on the recess side, and is held by the elastic restoring force of the metal fitting 5d on the recess side. When removing the makeup lid 4b, a hook or the like may be hooked on the edge of the makeup lid 4b and pulled.

According to the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, it is not necessary to perform the alignment as in the mounting fittings 5a and 5b of FIG. 1, so that excellent workability is obtained. Further, according to the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, a gap for moving the decorative lid up and down is not required between the recess 21 of FIG. 1 and the decorative lid 4, so that a more preferable design can be configured. .

Further, if the upper surface of the protrusion 4 a of the decorative lid 4 is subjected to a slip prevention process, the usability is further improved.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the makeup lid that covers the inspection port opened at the lower part of the storage tower from the inside of the unit is detachably attached to the storage tower, and the makeup is Since the lid has projections for foot rests, even a bathroom unit with a storage tower (shower tower) can be equipped with a foot rest to make the shower bath easier. Moreover, since such a storage tower with a footrest can be constructed without complicating the shape of the wall panel, the moldability of the wall panel does not deteriorate.
