Abstract

PURPOSE: To open a bathroom door by swinging an upper part along a side edge around a vertical axis while a lower part along a lower edge along a horizontal axis. CONSTITUTION: A right edge of an upper door 2 is fixed to a rotation shaft 4 extending in a vertical direction while a lower edge of a lower door 3 is fixed to a rotation shaft 5 extending horizontally. A bevel gear 6 is fixed to a lower end of the rotation shaft 4 while a bevel gear 7 to a right end of the rotation shaft 5. The gear 6 is meshed with the gear 7. When the upper door 2 is swung around the shaft 4 to an undressing room side, the rotation of the shaft 4 is transmitted to the shaft 5 through the gears 6, 7 to rotate the shaft 5 to thereby swing the lower door 3 to the undressing room side. When the upper door 2 is opened fully an upper edge of the lower door 3 is abutted on a floor surface C. An inclined way D is formed between an upper surface of a lower frame 11 of the door 1 above the floor surface C of the undressing room. An aged or handicapped person can enter the bathroom easily through the inclined way D and the swing door 2.

2. Description of the Related Art In an apartment house, it is necessary to provide a gap between a bathroom floor surface and a building frame floor surface for installing a drainage pipe from the bathroom. Therefore, if the building body floor surface of the bathroom installation section and the building body floor surface of the dressing room installation section are flush with each other, a step is formed between the lower frame of the bathroom door and the dressing room floor surface. Such a step becomes an obstacle when an elderly person or a physically handicapped person takes a bath. Conventionally, the floor surface of the building structure of the bathroom installation section is made lower than the floor surface of the building structure excluding the bathroom installation section to reduce the step.

[0003]

In order to reduce the step between the lower frame of the bathroom door and the floor of the dressing room, the floor surface of the building of the bathroom installation section and the floor surface of the building body excluding the bathroom installation section are reduced. It is necessary to make a step between and. As a result, the construction cost rises. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide means for solving the inconvenience caused by the step without reducing the step between the lower frame of the bathroom door and the floor of the dressing room. And

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, an upper part and a lower part are divided into two parts, and the upper part oscillates around an axis extending vertically along the side edge. Provided is a bathroom door which is characterized in that it moves and the lower part swings around an axis extending horizontally along the lower edge.

[0005]

In the bathroom having the bathroom door according to the present invention, the upper portion of the bathroom door is swung toward the dressing room side around the axis extending vertically along the side edge to lower the lower portion of the bathroom door. The bathroom door is opened by swinging it around the axis line that extends horizontally toward the dressing room. The upper edge of the lower portion abuts the floor surface of the dressing room, and an inclined path is formed between the lower door frame above the floor surface of the dressing room and the floor surface of the dressing room. Elderly people and people with physical disabilities can easily enter the bathroom through the ramp. ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, without aiming at reduction of the level | step difference between the lower frame of a bathroom door and the floor of a dressing room, by extension, between the building frame floor of a bathroom installation part, and the building frame floor except a bathroom installation part A step is formed on the floor, and the inconvenience due to the step is eliminated without inviting an increase in construction cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A bathroom unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1A, a bathroom door 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has an upper door 2 and a lower door 3. The right side edge of the upper door 2 extending vertically is fixed to the rotating shaft 4 extending vertically. A horizontally extending lower edge of the lower door 3 is fixed to a horizontally extending rotating shaft 5. A bevel gear 6 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 4, and a bevel gear 7 is fixed to the right end of the rotating shaft 5. The bevel gear 6 meshes with the bevel gear 7. As shown in FIG.
The floor pan 8 of the bathroom unit having the bathroom door 1 is arranged at a gap L for installing a drain pipe from the floor surface A of the building frame of the bathroom installation section. A drainage groove 9 is formed around the floor of the washing area of the floor pan 8, and a sled child 10 is disposed so as to cover the drainage groove 9. The upper surface of the cage 10 is positioned flush with the upper surface of the lower frame 11 of the bathroom door 1. The building structure floor surface A of the bathroom installation portion extends beyond the bathroom installation portion to form a building structure floor surface B of the dressing room installation portion. Floor C of the changing room
There is a step α between and the upper surface of the lower frame 11 of the bathroom door 1.

When entering a bathroom having the bathroom door 1, the upper door 2 of the bathroom door 1 is shown in FIG. 1 (b).
The swing of the rotary shaft 4 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 5 via the bevel gears 6 and 7, and the rotary shaft 5 is rotated. By the rotation of the rotation shaft 5, the lower door 3 of the bathroom door swings toward the changing room. As shown in FIG. 1 (c),
When the upper door 2 of the bathroom door 1 is completely opened, the upper edge of the lower door 3 of the bathroom door 1 contacts the floor surface C of the dressing room. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 1 (c) and 2, the floor surface C of the dressing room
Upper surface of the lower frame 11 of the door 1 and the floor surface C of the changing room
A ramp D is formed between the two. Elderly people and people with physical disabilities can easily enter the bathroom through the ramp C. As can be seen from the above description, by adopting the bathroom door 1 according to this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the step α between the upper surface of the lower frame 11 of the bathroom door 1 and the floor surface C of the dressing room, and eventually As shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 2, a step is provided between the building body floor surface A of the bathroom installation section and the building body floor surface B of the dressing room installation section, and the step α is used without increasing the construction cost. The inconvenience is eliminated.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the bevel gears 6 and 7 may be omitted, and the upper edge of the lower door 3 of the bathroom door 1 may be detachably connected to the lower edge of the upper door 2. In this case, after releasing the connection state between the lower door 3 and the upper door 2,
The upper door 2 is swung around the turning shaft 4, the lower door 3 is swung around the turning shaft 5, and the bathroom door 1 is opened.

[0009]

[Effect] In the bathroom having the bathroom door according to the present invention, the upper portion of the bathroom door is swung to the dressing room side around the axis extending vertically along the side edge, and the lower portion of the bathroom door is lowered to the lower edge. The bathroom door is opened by swinging it around the axis line that extends horizontally toward the dressing room. The upper edge of the lower portion abuts the floor surface of the dressing room, and an inclined path is formed between the lower door frame above the floor surface of the dressing room and the floor surface of the dressing room. Elderly people and people with physical disabilities can easily enter the bathroom through the ramp. ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, without aiming at reduction of the level | step difference between the lower frame of a bathroom door and the floor of a dressing room, by extension, between the building frame floor of a bathroom installation part, and the building frame floor except a bathroom installation part A step is formed on the floor, and the inconvenience due to the step is eliminated without inviting an increase in construction cost.
