Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wall material such as a bathroom or a sanitary unit in which members are assembled into a unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a resin wall material 20 used in bathroom units such as apartments and business hotels
The ribs are integrally formed on the back surface side of the panel body 23 for the purpose of preventing the warpage and deformation or increasing the strength and rigidity. On the back side, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, for example,
From the inside of the outer peripheral horizontal flange 21 and the outer peripheral vertical flange 22,
The vertical ribs 22A and the horizontal ribs 21A face each other toward the inner surface of the facing outer peripheral flange so that the vertical ribs 22A and the horizontal ribs 21A continuously cross each other at an equal pitch and intersect at a substantially right angle to form a lattice pattern.
It is integrally molded with resin material such as MC (Sheet Molding Compound).

[0003]

However, when such an equal pitch rib is arranged, since the pitch is constant, the "warp" due to the molding material does not occur locally, so that the wall material 20 is warped over the entire surface. Although it has the effect of preventing the above, it has the following drawbacks. Panel body 23
The plate rigidity of, especially when a load is applied to the central portion 23A of the panel body 23 from a direction perpendicular to the wall material, for example, when a person pushes or bumps with the unit assembled into a unit, If the pitch of the ribs is not significantly reduced, that is, the vertical ribs 22A and the horizontal ribs 21A are further increased in the panel body compared to the uniform pitch rib structure shown in FIGS. do not do. However, if the number of ribs is increased so that the structure has equal pitch ribs, the weight of the molding material is increased by the amount of the increased ribs, which increases the material cost and is uneconomical.

Further, the wall material for a bathroom or the like is partially arranged in the height and / or width direction at the factory shipping stage or the field installation stage according to the height of the ceiling of the bathroom and the installation space of the wall width. The dimensions may be adjusted by making notches or cutting the entire length. In this case, it is usual to cut or cut the outside of the ribs along the ribs around the flange of the wall material to secure the rigidity of the end portion of the wall material, but the pitch of the ribs is uniform. If it is provided with a large size, the degree of freedom of making notches or cutting to adjust the dimensions becomes extremely small. If the degree of freedom is increased so that the dimensions can be easily adjusted, the ribs must be increased to have a structure having smaller equal pitch ribs. Even in this case, similarly to the above, an increase in ribs results in an increase in the weight of the molding material, which increases the material cost and is uneconomical.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a resin wall material in which ribs are integrally formed on the back surface side of a panel body, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, a portion where rigidity is required locally, It is an object of the present invention to provide a wall material for bathrooms, etc., which has excellent performance and can be easily adjusted for size adjustment.
