Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wall panel connection structure for a bathroom suitable for a unit bath or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional connection structure for a bathroom wall panel, for example, one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 11914/1990 is known. In this conventional connection structure, a decorative plate, a pipe-shaped vertical frame fixed to the side edge of the back surface of the decorative plate, and a pipe-shaped vertical frame fixed to the upper and lower edges of the back surface of the decorative plate. The horizontal wall frame and the bathroom wall panel are horizontally adjacent to each other, and the adjacent wall panels are connected to each other by connecting the vertical frames to each other with E-shaped connecting members in places. In addition,
The connecting member was provided with a fitting portion that fits with a vertical frame of one wall panel and a fixing portion that fixes the vertical frame of the other wall panel via a screw.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional connecting structure for wall panels for bathrooms, the bending between adjacent wall panels is restricted only by the connecting member, and one wall is also provided. Since the vertical frame of the panel is slidable in the vertical direction within the fitting portion of the connecting member, as shown in FIG. 27, after connecting the wall panel 1, it is lifted by a crane or the like to make the waterproof pan. In the case of installation on 6, the wall members 1 are bent in the direction of arrow A due to deformation of the connecting member when lifted by a crane or the like, or the wall panel 1 is vertically displaced as shown by arrow B. However, there is a problem that the wall panel 1 cannot be properly installed on the waterproof pan P.

Therefore, in the present invention, paying attention to the above problems, when the wall panels are connected and then lifted by a crane or the like, it is difficult for the wall panels to be bent or to be vertically displaced from each other. It is intended to provide a connection structure for bathroom wall panels.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the connecting structure of the bathroom wall panel according to the first aspect of the present invention, the decorative plate and the side edge portion of the rear surface of the decorative plate are fixed. In a connection structure in which a bathroom wall panel including a vertical frame and a horizontal frame fixed to the upper edge and the lower edge of the back surface of the decorative plate is horizontally adjacently arranged and connected, The wall panels are engaged with each other so that the engaging portions formed on the vertical frame of each wall panel are engaged with each other in a direction in which bending between the wall panels is restricted, and the wall panels to be connected are formed to have a combined horizontal width. The reinforcing material is provided along the horizontal frame of the wall panel, and both ends of the reinforcing material are connected to the wall panel by fixing the fixing material to the wall panel.

Further, in the bathroom wall panel connection structure according to claim 2 of the present invention, the decorative plate, the vertical frame fixed to the side edge portion of the rear surface of the decorative plate, and the upper edge of the rear surface of the decorative plate. In a connection structure in which wall panels for bathrooms, which are fixed to the lower part and a lower edge part, are horizontally adjacently arranged and connected, adjacent wall panels are vertical frames of each wall panel. The engaging portion formed on the wall panel is engaged with the wall panel in a direction that restricts bending between the wall panels, and the reinforcing member formed to have a length substantially equal to that of the vertical frame is straddled over the vertical frame of the adjacent wall panel. Are connected to each other by engaging both ends of the reinforcing member with the lateral frames of the wall panels on both sides.

[0007]

In the connection structure for bathroom wall panels according to the first aspect of the present invention, the bending between the wall panels is restricted by the engagement of the engaging portions formed on the vertical frame, and the wall panels are also restrained. Bending between the wall panels is also restricted by the reinforcing material provided along the horizontal frame. In addition, the reinforcing material is provided along the horizontal frame of the wall panel, and both ends of the reinforcing material are fixed to the wall panel by the fixtures, so that the adjacent wall panels are prevented from vertically shifting. Furthermore, since the reinforcing material is formed to have a length that matches the lateral widths of the wall panels to be connected, it is not necessary to increase the number of reinforcing materials even if the number of wall panels to be connected increases.

In the bathroom wall panel connection structure according to the second aspect of the present invention, bending between the wall panels is restricted by the engagement of the engaging portions formed in the vertical frame, and the wall panels are adjacent to each other. Bending between the wall panels is also restricted by the reinforcing material provided so as to straddle the vertical frame of the wall panels. Further, both ends of the reinforcing member are engaged with the lateral frames of the wall panels on both sides, so that the adjacent wall panels are prevented from being vertically displaced.
