Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a work efficiency and prevent the breakage of support legs by forming earth parts of support legs secured on the back of a unit bathroom in the shape of a hemisphere, which reduces friction with the surface of the floor and moves the unit bathroom sideward with a little power as it is placed on the floor in a house. CONSTITUTION:In a unit bathroom, a washing area 11 and a bathtub inserting part 12 are integrally connected, and a leading edge 14 is installed on the periphery of an opening 13 of the bathtub inserting part 12. A bathtub 2 is inserted into the opening 13, and a frame 21 of the bathtub 2 is engaged to the leading edge 14. On each back of the washing area 11 and the bathtub inserting part 12, support legs 3, 4 are individually secured, and earth parts 31, 41 are formed at the ends of support legs 3, 4. Further, a hemispherically formed hollow cap is fitted into an end of a cylindrical support leg 5 integrally projected from the back of the bathtub 2 to form an earth part 51. Thus, the unit bathroom may be moved with a little power as it is placed on the floor in the house.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bathroom unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When installing a bathroom unit, it is necessary to support a bathroom unit in which a washing room and a bathtub are connected by a supporting leg whose length can be adjusted so that a water gradient can be provided on the floor surface. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-33100, Japanese Utility Model Publication
It is publicly known as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-35119.

[0003]

However, since the grounding portion of the supporting leg of such a bathroom unit is flat, the bathroom unit should be moved laterally with the same placed on the floor of the building. Then, there is a problem that a large force is required due to high friction between the grounding portion of the support leg and the floor surface, and the support leg may be bent if an excessive force is applied.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a bathroom unit which can be laterally moved with a small force on a floor of a building.

[0005]

The bathroom unit of the present invention is characterized in that the grounding portion of the support leg fixed to the back surface of the bathroom unit is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape.

In the bathroom unit of the present invention, the material of the support legs is not particularly limited as long as it has rigidity and surface hardness, and examples thereof include stainless steel, aluminum,
Fiber-reinforced thermosetting resins and the like can be mentioned. The method of forming the ground contact portion is not particularly limited, and for example, a spherical body having a diameter larger than that of the support leg may be fixed to the tip, or the tip of the support leg may be a hemispherical shape. When the flat plate for fixing the floor surface is fixed, a spherical body may be projected at the four corners of the flat plate or a hemisphere may be projected at the four corners of the back surface of the flat plate.

A layer made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene having an extremely small friction coefficient may be provided on the surface of the ground contact portion of the support leg so as to further reduce the friction with the floor surface.

The means for fixing the support leg to the floor is not particularly limited. For example, when a spherical body having a diameter larger than that of the support leg is provided at the tip of the support leg, the support leg is curved in a substantially semi-circular shape. The support leg is inserted through the through hole formed in the center of the metal strip body so that it can slide up and down, and the attachment pieces bent outward at both ends of the strip body are attached. , Nailing, screwing on the floor of the building,
It may be fixed by means such as adhesion.

Even if the attaching piece is tilted in any direction during the movement of the bathroom unit, the attaching piece is more than a right angle with respect to the strip body so that the tip of the attaching piece does not get caught on the floor surface of the building. It is preferable to be bent at a small acute angle.

[0010]

In the bathroom unit of the present invention, since the grounding portion of the supporting leg fixed to the back surface of the bathroom unit has a substantially hemispherical shape, the supporting leg is in contact with the floor surface of the building at one point, Friction between the legs and the floor of the building is reduced.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a sectional view showing a first embodiment of a bathroom unit of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a supporting leg of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a state in which a fixing strip is attached to the supporting leg. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a second embodiment of the support leg.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, 1 is a bathroom unit made of glass fiber reinforced thermosetting resin (FRP) in which a washing area 11 and a bathtub incorporating portion 12 are continuously formed and integrally molded. The rising portion 14 is provided upright over the entire circumference in the opening 13 of the bathtub incorporating portion 12.

Reference numeral 2 is a FRP bathtub, which has a brim around the entire circumference.
21 are extended. The bathtub 2 is fitted from the opening 13 of the bathtub assembling portion 12 of the bathroom unit 1, and the brim 21 of the bathtub 2 is hooked on the rising portion 14 of the bathtub assembling portion 12.

A support leg 3 is fixed to the back surface of the washing room 11, and a support leg 4 is fixed to the back surface of the bathtub incorporating portion 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the support leg 3 or 4 is attached to the support leg 3 or 4.
Alternatively, a spherical body having a diameter larger than 4 is fixed to form a grounding portion 31 or 41, and the height of the washing place 11 or the bathtub incorporating portion 12 can be adjusted by an adjusting bolt.

A hollow cap having a substantially hemispherical tip is inserted at the tip of a cylindrical support leg 5 integrally formed on the back surface of the bathtub 2 to form a grounding portion 51. .

In order to fix the support leg 3 (or 4) to the floor of the building, as shown in FIG. 3, a metal strip body 6 curved in a substantially arc shape is bored in the center. Through hole 61
, The support leg 3 (or 4) is inserted through the support leg 3 so as to be slidable up and down, and the attachment pieces 61 are bent outward at both ends of the strip-shaped body 6.
A screw nail is inserted into the through hole 62 bored in and is screwed to the floor surface of the building.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a through hole 33 through which a screw nail for fixing the floor can be inserted at the tip of the support leg 3.
Is fixed to a substantially square metal flat plate 32 formed in a diagonal line, and hemispheres are projectingly provided at four corners of the back surface of the flat plate 32 to form a ground portion 31.

Although the embodiment has been described above, the specific structure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment,
The present invention includes a design change and the like within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the first embodiment, a spherical body having a diameter larger than that of the support leg is fixed to the tip of the support leg to form a grounding portion, but a cap having a substantially hemispherical tip is attached to the tip of the support leg. It may be formed by being worn.

Further, even if nail-shaped projections are integrally formed on the back surface of the attachment piece of the metal strip for fixing the supporting legs, synthetic rubber or synthetic resin foam, synthetic rubber or the like is used as a base. A double-sided adhesive tape used as a material may be attached.

[0020]

Since the bathroom unit of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to move the bathroom unit to the side with a small force by placing it on the floor of the building, thus improving work efficiency. improves.
