Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ceiling panel connecting fitting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bathroom units have been installed in apartment houses and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the bathroom unit 1 includes a waterproof pan 2 forming a washing space, a bathtub 3 which is integral with or separate from the waterproof pan 2, and a periphery of the waterproof pan 2 and the bathtub 3. It is composed of a wall panel 4 that surrounds and stands upright on the peripheral edge of the waterproof pan 2, and a ceiling panel 5 that covers the upper opening formed by these wall panels 4. Then, the end edge portion of the ceiling panel 5 is placed on the upper end edge of the wall panel 4, and the ceiling panel connecting metal fitting is fitted over the end edge portion of the ceiling panel 5 and the vicinity of the upper end edge of the wall panel 4 so that the ceiling panel connecting metal fitting is fitted. Panel 5 is connected to wall panel 4 (e.g.
19570 and JP-A-7-279301).

[0003]

However, in order to connect the ceiling panel to the wall panel by using the above-mentioned ceiling panel connecting fitting, the inspection port formed in the ceiling panel is installed on the back side of the ceiling which is the back side of the bathroom unit. After hanging out and hooking the ceiling panel connecting bracket to the edge of the ceiling panel,
Since it is necessary to press it down by hand and fit it near the upper edge of the wall panel, there is a drawback that the ceiling panel connecting metal fitting cannot be fitted when there is a distance from the inspection port to the edge of the ceiling panel. . Particularly, in recent years, the space behind the ceiling tends to be narrowed as the height of the unit room increases due to the height increase, and it is more difficult to fit the ceiling panel connecting fitting.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a ceiling panel connecting fitting capable of connecting a ceiling panel to a wall panel in a small work space.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a wall panel which is erected on a peripheral portion of a waterproof pan, near an upper edge of the wall panel, and an edge bent portion of a vinyl chloride steel plate of a ceiling panel which covers an upper opening of the wall panel. In the ceiling panel connecting fitting for connecting the ceiling panel to the wall panel, a protrusion extending upward is formed on the ceiling panel connecting fitting.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show a ceiling panel connecting fitting of the present invention. This ceiling panel connecting bracket 6
Has engaging portions 6a and 6b which are respectively engageable with the vicinity of the upper edge of the wall panel 4 and the edge bent portion 51a of the ceiling panel 5 which will be described later, and the protruding portion 61 extends upward.
And is formed by bending a steel material or by using a resin or the like. A retaining piece 61a is provided on the upper end of the protrusion 61 to prevent the rod-shaped member 7 described later from coming off.

The wall panel 4 comprises a surface material 41 such as a calcium silicate plate and a reinforcing frame 42 fixed to the peripheral edge of the back surface of the surface material 41. The reinforcing frame 42 is made of steel, aluminum or resin. Is formed into a substantially H shape.

On the other hand, the ceiling panel 5 includes a vinyl chloride steel plate 51,
A gypsum board 52 attached as a backing material to the back surface of the vinyl chloride steel plate 51, and the outer peripheral edge 51a of the vinyl chloride steel plate 51.
Has a bent portion that is bent in a U shape.

Therefore, when the ceiling panel 5 is connected to the wall panel 4 by using the ceiling panel connecting fitting 6, the body is leaned out from the inspection opening (not shown) formed in the ceiling panel 5 to the back side of the ceiling and the ceiling panel connecting fitting 6 is attached. After the engaging portion 6b of the above is hooked on the edge bent portion 51a of the vinyl chloride steel plate 51 of the ceiling panel 5, the protrusion 61 is pushed in using the rod-shaped member 7 (see FIG. 1), for example, a screwdriver or the like. At this time, since the engaging portion 6b is engaged with the end edge bent portion 51a of the vinyl chloride steel plate 51 of the ceiling panel 5, the engaging portion 6a of the ceiling panel connecting fitting 6 rotates to reinforce the wall panel 4. Frame 4
The ceiling panel 5 can be connected to the wall panel 4 by being fitted and engaged with the edge of the second panel 2.

As a result, since it is not necessary to press the engaging portion 6a of the ceiling panel connecting fitting 6 by hand, it is possible to slightly lean out from the inspection port and work, and the ceiling panel is connected in a small working space. The metal fitting 6 can be fitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the wall panel 4 is composed of the surface material 41 and the reinforcing frame 42 attached to the peripheral edge of the back surface of the surface material 41. Similarly, a gypsum board can be attached to the back surface of a vinyl chloride steel plate to form it.
In this case, a bent portion is formed on the upper edge of the vinyl chloride steel plate of the wall panel, and the engaging portion 6 of the ceiling panel connecting fitting 6 is formed on the edge.
It is sufficient to engage a.

Further, although the case where the ceiling panel 5 of the bathroom unit 1 is connected to the wall panel 4 has been illustrated, the ceiling panel 5 of the bathroom unit 1 can be also connected to the ceiling panel of another unit room, for example, a shower room or a toilet room. .

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the edge of the vinyl chloride steel plate of the ceiling panel that covers the upper edge of the wall panel erected on the peripheral edge of the waterproof pan and the upper opening of the wall panel is bent. By forming the protrusion extending upward on the ceiling panel connecting fitting having the engaging portion that can be engaged with the portion, it is possible to engage the vicinity of the upper end edge of the wall panel by using the rod-shaped member, which is small. The ceiling panel can be connected to the wall panel in the work space.
