Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a wall panel corner portion used in a bathroom bath unit, a shower unit, a toilet unit and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, a conventional wall panel corner portion has a structure in which a corner post 100 formed by bending a metal plate into a hollow cylindrical shape is erected at a corner of a waterproof pan 10 and the corner post 100 is erected. An opening 100A is formed at one corner of the room 100 facing the indoor side. The side edge 101A of the wall panel 101 made of FRP or the like is positioned inside the corner post 100 from the opening 100A, and the corner seal 102 is fitted into the opening 100A to sandwich the side edge 101A. Corner post 100 is a waterproof pan 1
It is fixed to 0 with a bolt 103.

[0003]

According to the conventional structure, the side edge 101A of the wall panel 101 is the corner post 100.
It is only elastically sandwiched between and supported by the corner seal 102, and the wall panel 101 cannot stand on its own unless the corner seal 102 is attached.
Even if 02 is attached, the supporting force for the wall panel 101 is weak, and the wall panel 101 is apt to bend, shake, and squeak.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a wall panel corner portion which can firmly support a wall panel.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a hollow cylindrical corner post for supporting the side edge of a wall panel, and an opening at one corner of the corner post facing the indoor side. Part, and the side edge of the wall panel or the panel hook provided on the side edge is positioned from the opening to the inside of the corner post, and a fitting material having a shape along the inner peripheral surface is fitted into the corner post. The lever edge fitting and the corner post sandwich the side edge of the wall panel or the panel hook.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the wall panel is sandwiched between the corner post and the fitting material having a shape along the inner peripheral surface of the corner post, and the wall panel is self-supporting even if the corner seal is not attached, and the work efficiency is improved. Improved, the assembled wall panel is strongly supported, eliminating bending, swaying and squeaking noises.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the waterproof pan 10 is used.
A corner post 1 similar to the conventional one is erected at the corner portion of 1., an opening 1A is formed at one corner of the corner post 1 facing the indoor side, and a side edge 2A of the wall panel 2 is formed from the opening 1A to the corner post 1. Position it inward, corner post 1
The fitting material 3 having a shape along the inner peripheral surface thereof is fitted inside, and the fitting material 3 and the corner post 1 form a side edge 2A of the wall panel 2.
Sandwiched between. The fitting material 3 is formed in a size such that it does not rattle in a state where it is fitted into the corner post 1 and the side edge 2A of the wall panel 2 is sandwiched. Corner post 1
The edge 1B at the location of the opening 1A is bent outward in an L shape so as to follow the shape of the side edge 2A of the wall panel 2 and the main body portion. Further, the edge 1B of the hollow cylindrical corner post 1 formed by bending a metal plate has elasticity. Therefore, at this edge 1B, the wall panel 2
Acts to hold down. The fitting material 3 also has an opening 3A formed in one corner facing the interior side, and the edge 3B of the fitting material 3 at the location of the opening 3A is bent outward and formed along the shape of the wall panel 2. I am doing it. A corner seal 4 is attached to the opening 3A of the fitting member 3. The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a view of the corner portion viewed from above, in which the height of the waterproof pan 10 is the lowest and the height of the wall panel 2 is the highest. The corner post 1 is fixed to the waterproof pan 10 as in the conventional case.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a panel hook 5 is attached to the wall panel 2 and the panel hook 5 is sandwiched between the corner post 1 and the fitting member 3.

In the first and second embodiments, a plurality of fitting materials 3 having a length of about 60 mm may be installed at intervals of 400 mm in the vertical direction. In addition, when the height of the wall panel 2 is low, the fitting material 3 having the same length as the height of the wall panel 2 may be used. The fitting material 3 is preferably made of a synthetic resin material. The corner post 1 is usually flush with the wall panel 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the corner seal 4, the claw portions 4A at both ends are made of soft PVC, and the main body portion 4B is made of hard PVC. As a result, the claw portion 4A has elasticity, and the elasticity allows the wall panel 2 to be pressed.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the upper end of the wall panel 2, in which a sealing member 6 is provided on the wall 11 of the building body, and the upper end of the wall panel 2 is fixed by a mounting member 7.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a bus unit.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the wall panel is supported by fitting the corner post and the fitting material inside the corner post, the corner portion seal as in the conventional case. When attaching a wall panel to make it stand alone, one person can hold down the wall panel and the other person can put on the corner seal. As a result, work efficiency is improved. Further, since the wall panel is sandwiched between the fitting material and the corner post, the wall panel is firmly supported, and bending, shaking and squeaking noise are eliminated.
