JPH073914A - Connecting part construction between bath room unit and adjoining unit - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To connect together a bath room unit and an adjoining unit without step difference by arranging the upper face of a threshold between the floor face of the bath room unit and the floor face of the adjoining unit on the same level, and setting the covers of the upper face of both side drain grooves on the same level as that of the floor face. CONSTITUTION:Drain grooves 12, 22 are provided along the threshold 41 between the floor faces 11, 21 of a bath room unit and the adjoining unit. The upper openings are respectively covered with covers 5, 5. The cover 5 is penetrated with long grooves 51 in the vertical direction so as to be a perforated plate. At this time, the covers 5 are set to be flush with the floor faces 11, 21. Then even if drain of each unit is let flow on the threshold 41, drain water is let flow into either drain groove 12,22 through a long groove 42 so as not to flow in the unit. Further the rollers 31 of doors 3,3 are placed on the threshold 41 rotationally movably, an extending piece 32 is faced the long groove 42 from the lower end of the door 3, and the door is smoothly slided in the lengthwise direction. Hereby, the step difference of both floor faces is eliminated, and safe coming and going is made possible.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for connecting a bathroom unit and an adjacent unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a bathroom unit is provided adjacent to other units such as a shower room unit and a sauna room unit. Conventionally, an entrance / exit frame or the like is provided between the bathroom unit and these adjacent units, and the sill of this entrance / exit frame is set higher than the floor surfaces of both units, or the bathroom unit washroom is set lower than the sill. Hot water does not leak from the bathroom unit side to the adjacent unit side.

[0003]

However, if the sill is raised above the floors of both units or the washing space is lowered below the sill as described above, a step is generated at the connection between the bathroom unit and the adjacent unit. It is very dangerous for people with disabilities, old people, infants, etc. to come and go. In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a connection unit structure between a bathroom unit and an adjacent unit that has no step between the bathroom unit and the adjacent unit and can safely travel between both units. Is intended.

[0004]

In order to achieve such an object, the structure for connecting a bathroom unit and an adjacent unit according to the present invention has a floor surface of the bathroom unit and an adjacent unit adjacent to the bathroom unit. The floor surface and the upper surface of the sill provided between both units are arranged at the same level, and drainage grooves are formed along the sill on both sides of the sill. The unit was covered with a perforated lid so that it was at the same level as the floor of the unit.

[0005]

According to the above construction, there is no step on the floor between the bathroom unit and the adjacent unit, and it is possible to move back and forth smoothly. Also, when the hot and cold water used on the bathroom unit side tries to flow to the adjacent unit side,
First, it flows into the drainage channel on the bathroom unit side through the lid and is drained. For example, even if it tries to flow into the adjacent unit side through the threshold, it flows into the drainage channel on the adjacent unit side through the lid and is drained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments thereof. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a structure for connecting a bathroom unit and an adjacent unit according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment,
A shower room unit 2 is provided as a unit adjacent to the bathroom unit 1.

The bathroom unit 1 and the shower room unit 2 are connected via an entrance / exit frame 4 provided with doors 3 and 3, as shown in FIGS. The floor surface 11 of the bathroom unit 1, the floor surface 21 of the shower room unit 2, and the sill 41 of the access frame 4 are at the same level as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the bathroom unit 1 and the shower room unit There is no step between 2 and it.

The bathroom unit 1 and the shower room unit 2 are provided with drainage grooves 12 and 22 along the threshold 41, respectively. The upper openings of the drainage grooves 12 and 22 are covered with lids 5 and 5, respectively. The lid 5 is provided with a plurality of long grooves 51 penetrating in the up-down direction and has a so-called plate shape, and when set so as to cover the drain grooves 12 and 22, the upper surfaces thereof are the floor surfaces 11 and 21. It is designed to be flush.

In the doors 3 and 3, the roller 31 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the sill 41, and the extending piece 32 extending from the lower end of the door 3 is provided in the long groove 42 provided in the sill 41. By doing so, the sill 41 slides smoothly in the longitudinal direction. The long groove 42 communicates with the drain groove 12. In the figure, 13 and 23 are drainage grooves 12 and 22.
It is a drain pipe that drains the wastewater that has flowed into the.

According to the structure for connecting the bathroom unit 1 and the shower room unit 2, the floor surface 1 of the bathroom unit 1
1, the floor 21 of the shower room unit 2 and the sill 41 of the entrance / exit frame 4 are at the same level, and there is no step, so that old people and children can safely move between the units 1 and 2 . Of course, physically handicapped people can come and go in a wheelchair, which reduces the burden on caregivers.

In addition, since the drain grooves 12 and 22 closed by the lid 5 having a plate shape are provided in the units 1 and 2 along the threshold 41, the bathroom unit 1 (shower room unit 2) From the shower room unit 2 (bathroom unit 1) does not flow into the shower room unit 2 (bathroom unit 1). Even if hot water flows into the sill 41, the hot water flows into the drain groove 12 through the long groove 42 provided in the sill 41 and is drained from the drain pipe 13.

Therefore, when only one unit 1 (2) is used, hot water used in the other unit 2 (1) never flows into and contaminates. The connecting portion structure according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the shower room unit 2 is provided as the adjacent unit, but it may be a sauna room unit. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lid 5 is provided with the long groove 51 to form a perforated shape, but instead of the long groove 51, a large number of small holes may be formed.

[0013]

Since the structure of the connecting portion between the bathroom unit and the adjacent unit according to the present invention is constructed as described above, there is no step on the floor between the bathroom unit and the adjacent unit, and it is smooth. You will be able to come and go. Therefore, a disabled person or the like can enter the bathroom unit while riding on a wheelchair, which is very convenient. In addition, there are no steps and it is safe for old people and children.

When the hot water used on the bathroom unit side tries to flow to the adjacent unit side, first, it flows into the drain groove on the bathroom unit side through the lid and is drained. For example, even if it tries to flow into the adjacent unit side through the threshold, it flows into the drainage channel on the adjacent unit side through the lid and is drained. Therefore, even if there is no step between the sill and the bathroom unit washroom, hot water from the washroom never flows into the adjacent unit.
