Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent water absorbing deformation in a wall panel by recessedly arranging a drain groove on the upper face of a flange in a bath room unit in which a flange for wall panel installation is arranged in the standing wall upper end in the circumference. CONSTITUTION: In a bathroom unit 1 in which a washing space 11 and a bath tub 12 are integrally arranged, a wall panel mounting flange 14 is arranged over the approximately whole circumference on the upper end of a standing wall 13 on the circumference of the unit 1. On the upper face of the flange 14, a drain groove 15 having an approximately rectangular cross section is recessedly arranged along the end edge, while a drain hole 16 opening to the inside of the unit 1 is arranged in the vicinity of a corner part of the washing space 11. A wall panel 2 is stood on the flange 14, and a spacer is inserted into between a reinforcing member 22 on the back side of the panel 2 and the flange 14. In this way, water penetrating between the panel 2 and the flange 14 can be quickly discharged to the washing space 11, and water absorbing deformation of the panel 2 can be prevented.

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 Conventionally, in a bathroom unit in which a washing room and a bathtub are connected to each other, it is known, for example, to place a wall panel on a brim provided on the upper edge of a surrounding rising wall. It is known as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1623.

[0003]

However, in such a bathroom unit, when hot and cold water penetrates into the gap between the wall panel and the brim, it enters the wall panel having fine voids such as calcium silicate plate. There is a problem that the wall panel is sucked up and is deformed such as warping.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above conventional problems and to provide a bathroom unit capable of preventing water absorption deformation from the lower end of a wall panel.

[0005]

A bathroom unit according to the present invention is a bathroom unit in which a washing place and a bathtub are connected in series, and a wall panel mounting flange is provided on the upper end of a surrounding rising wall. It is characterized in that a drainage groove is provided on the upper surface of the brim.

The material of the bathtub with a washing room used in the bathroom unit of the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (FRP) and artificial marble.

Even if the washing place and the bathtub are integrally formed, or if the separately formed bathtub is hung on the frame-shaped bathtub fishing support integrally formed with the washing place, A separately formed bathtub may be placed on the integrally formed bathtub placement portion.

In the bathroom unit of the present invention, it is preferable that the drain groove formed in the upper surface of the brim be provided with a drain opening that opens into the bathtub with a washing space. It is aesthetically preferable to install the drainage port near the corner of the bathroom unit.

The slope of the drainage groove is preferably 1 ° or more so that water can be drained quickly. The cross-sectional shape of the drainage groove is not particularly limited, and may be any of a substantially rectangular shape, a substantially semicircular shape, a substantially triangular shape, and the like.

The drainage groove preferably has a width of 1 to 5 mm and a depth of 1 mm or more. If the width and depth are less than 1 mm, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient amount of drainage, and if the width exceeds 5 mm, the strength of the wall panel mounting portion becomes insufficient.

In the bathroom unit of the present invention, the wall panel to be placed on the brim is, for example, a rectangular tube-shaped, approximately U-shaped member around the back surface of a base material made of calcium silicate board, gypsum board, or the like. A metal reinforcing material such as a sheet is fixed, and a decorative material such as diallyl phthalate resin-impregnated decorative paper, polyester resin-impregnated paper, urethane resin-coated decorative paper, marble, or ceramic tile is adhered to the surface.

The wall panel placed on the brim has different thickness depending on the decorative material. When a thin wall panel is used, a plurality of synthetic resin spacers are provided behind the wall panel. It is only necessary to insert the individual pieces so that the surface thereof coincides with the surface of the rising wall of the bathtub with washing room.

[0013]

In the bathroom unit of the present invention, the washing place and the bathtub are connected in series, and in the bathroom unit in which the wall panel mounting brim is provided at the upper end of the surrounding rising wall, drainage is provided on the upper surface of the brim. Since the groove is provided as a recess, even when hot and cold water enters the gap between the wall panel and the brim, the hot water is quickly discharged into the bathtub with a washing place.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a bathroom unit of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a bathroom unit of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of an essential part of the bathroom unit of the present invention shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an FRP bathroom unit in which a washing room 11 and a bathtub 12 are integrally connected, and the upper end of a rising wall 13 around the bathroom unit 1 is
A flange 14 for mounting a wall panel is provided over substantially the entire circumference.

A drain groove 15 having a substantially rectangular cross section is provided on the upper surface of the brim 14 along the edge, and a drain outlet opening in the bathroom unit 1 is provided in the vicinity of the corner of the washing area 11. 16 are provided.

Reference numeral 2 is a wall panel around the back surface of a base material 21 made of calcium silicate plate having a decorative material made of diallyl phthalate resin-impregnated decorative paper adhered to the front surface thereof, and a rectangular tubular metal reinforcement. The material 22 is fixedly formed.

The wall panel 2 is erected on the brim 14 of the bathroom unit 1, and the reinforcing material 22 and the brim 14 on the rear surface of the wall panel 2 are provided.
A hard synthetic resin spacer 3 is inserted between and. 4 is a waterproof silicone for the joints.

[0019]

Since the bathroom unit of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to prevent deformation of the wall panel due to water absorption even when water is immersed in the gap between the wall panel and the brim.
