Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting and adjusting a front plate of a piping unit having joints.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When installing equipment such as urinals, urinals and sinks in toilets, in order to simplify construction, piping incorporating water supply pipes, drainage pipes, etc. connected to these equipment The unit is traditionally used. A plumbing unit to which instruments such as urinals, urinals and sinks are attached from the front has a counter on the top and a front plate on the front. Conventionally, a decorative plate such as a vinyl chloride steel plate having a smooth surface and no joint has been used for the front plate. The front plate is a dog lid.
By vertically raising and lowering like this, by locking the locking tool provided on the back side to the support tool provided on the piping unit,
A front plate was attached (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-13316).

[0003]

As described above, in the prior art, since the front plate made of a decorative plate such as a PVC plate without joints was attached to the front surface of the piping unit, it is particularly necessary to align the joint lines in the lateral direction. No adjustment mechanism was needed to adjust the height of the face plate. However, recently, in order to improve the appearance of sanitary equipment rooms where equipment such as urinals, urinals, and sinks are installed, natural stones and tiles are often used as joint materials, and joints on the front plate are used. The adjustment mechanism has become necessary.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is to install equipment such as urinals, urinals, sinks, etc., and connect pipes such as water supply pipes and drain pipes connected to these equipments. Installed in the casing, a piping unit with a front plate attached to the front surface of the casing is provided, and an engaging member is provided on the upper rear surface of the front plate.The engaging member is bent like a hook to form an adjustment hole. Between the mounting portion of the engaging piece and the casing, the engaging piece having an adjusting screw on the front surface of the casing facing the engaging member is horizontally projected forward. A clearance is provided in the space, the hanging part of the engaging member is inserted into the clearance to mount the front plate, and the height of the front plate can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw from the hole.

[0005]

According to the above means, the hanging portion of the engaging member provided on the upper rear surface of the front plate is inserted into the gap between the engaging piece on the front surface of the casing and the casing to mount the front plate, and then the front plate is mounted. After completing the above, the height of the front plate is adjusted by inserting a screwdriver into the hole of each engaging member and turning the adjusting screw, and the horizontal lines of the joints of the consecutive front plates are aligned.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a piping unit 1 to which a front plate mounting structure of the present invention is applied. The piping unit 1 is installed along the wall 3 of the toilet 2, and the front plates 5 and 6 are attached to the front surface of the casing 4 configured by properly assembling the frame.
It is configured by wearing a counter 7 on the upper surface.

On the front surface of the piping unit 1, equipment such as a urinal, a urinal, and a sink are attached, and in this embodiment, the urinal 8
Two are installed. Pipes such as a ventilation pipe 9, a drain pipe 10 and a water supply pipe 11 connected to the urinal 8 are incorporated in the casing 4. In addition, 12 is a rubble stone installed on the floor below the urinal 7.

The front plates 5 and 6 are made of natural stone or tiles,
Lateral joints 13 and 14 are formed to improve the appearance. Therefore, when the front plates 5 and 6 are attached to the piping unit 1 for each urinal 8, it becomes unsightly if the joints 14 beside the front plates 5 and 6 that are continuously arranged are not horizontally aligned. In the present invention, the following joint adjustment mechanism is provided.

Engaging members 15 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are provided on the upper back surfaces of the front plates 5 and 6. Engaging member 15
The base 16 for mounting is fixed to the upper parts of the front plates 5 and 6 with screws (not shown) or the like, and the lower end of the base 16 is bent like a hook to form a horizontal part 17 and a hanging part 18 facing downward. Are formed. An adjusting hole 19 is formed in the horizontal portion 17.

An engaging piece 20 is provided on the front surface of the casing 4 facing the engaging member 15. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the engaging piece 20 has a mounting portion 22 fixed to the casing 4 with a screw 23 via a plate piece 21, and a gap 24 is provided between the mounting portion 22 of the engaging piece 20 and the casing 4. To provide. Also, the upper part 2 of the engaging piece 20
5 is horizontally projected forward and provided with an adjusting screw 26.

Next, how to attach the front plates 5 and 6 will be described. First, the hanging portion 18 of the engaging member 15 provided on the upper rear surface of the front plate 5 is inserted into the gap 24 between the engaging piece 20 on the front surface of the casing 4 and the casing 4, and the front plate 5 is attached. Also attach the face plate 6. After the front plates 5 and 6 are mounted, a screwdriver is inserted through the hole 19 of the engaging member 15 of each front plate 5 and 6 and the adjusting screw 26 is rotated to adjust the height of each front plate 5 and 6, The lines of the joints 14 beside the front plates 5 and 6 that are continuously arranged are aligned. Although the present embodiment has been described with reference to an embodiment having joints, the present invention is also effective when the upper and lower ends of a front plate having no joints are aligned.

[0012]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, in the front plate of the piping unit having the joints formed of the face material such as natural stone or tile, which has a good appearance, even after the front plate is attached, The joint of the front plate can be easily adjusted. Of course, it is also easy to align the upper and lower ends of the front plate without joints.
