Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic joint material used for makeup around a bathtub in a bathroom and a method of applying the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is inevitable that a small gap is formed between a bathtub and a surrounding wall in a bathroom, for example. And closed her face.

However, filling the gap with a coking agent is because the filling operation of the coking agent is troublesome, that the filling operation requires skill to improve the finish, and that the bathtub is replaced. However, there is a problem in that, each time, the old coking agent is cleaned and then a new coking agent needs to be filled.

[0004] As a method of solving these problems, it has been proposed to use a draining joint material as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-163904.

[0005]

However, since the conventional drainage joint material is inserted after the bathtub is installed,
The accuracy of bathtub installation is poor. If the gap is narrow, there is a problem that the drainage joint material cannot be inserted sufficiently, and if the gap is wide, sufficient waterproofness cannot be obtained.

[0006] In addition, in the case where the drainage joint is bonded to the side surface of the hanging wall in the vicinity of the bathtub in advance, when the bathtub is installed, the bathroom wall and the drainage joint interfere with each other, and the adhesion of the drainage joint is likely to peel off. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional means for filling and filling gaps in the peripheral portion of a bathtub. It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative joint material which can be reliably applied without requiring any labor for filling work, requiring no skill in the application, and a method for applying the same.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a decorative joint material and a method for constructing the same, which solves the above problems and achieves the above object. A stretchable decorative joint material consisting of an elastic oblique portion and a vertical portion vertically provided from the middle thereof, and a locking portion projecting downward on the downward inclined side of the oblique portion at the lower portion of the vertical portion. 1. A decorative joint material, wherein the distance between the locking portion and the oblique portion is substantially the same as the height of the hanging wall around the bathtub. 2. The decorative joint material according to the above item 1, wherein a resilient rib is protruded from the vertical piece portion on the up slope side of the oblique portion portion, and After attaching the decorative joint material of 1 and 2 above to the lower end of the hanging wall of the peripheral part of the bathtub, and attaching the lower end of the slanted part to the upper surface of the peripheral part of the bathtub, A method of constructing a decorative joint material, wherein a bathtub is installed along a bathroom wall.

In the present invention, the oblique portions and the ribs are preferably made of an elastic soft material.
It can be made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a synthetic rubber such as butyl rubber. The vertical piece and the locking portion can be made of a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride or ABS resin, or a metal such as stainless steel, in addition to the elastic soft material.

The oblique piece and the vertical piece may be joined by bonding, and when they are made of synthetic resin, they may be integrally formed by extrusion.

As a method of attaching the decorative joint material to the side surface of the hanging wall in the peripheral portion of the bathtub, it can be performed by bonding, adhesion, and fitting by a locking portion. In particular, it is preferable to engage the engaging portion.

[0012]

The decorative joint material according to the present invention has a resilient oblique portion, a vertical portion vertically provided from an intermediate portion thereof, and a locking portion below the vertical portion. The upper end of the elastic oblique portion can be attached to the bathroom wall, and the lower end can be attached to the upper surface of the periphery of the bathtub by using elasticity. The slanted section is installed so as to be inclined from the bathroom wall toward the bathtub, so that the falling water flows effectively into the bathtub and water enters the gap between the bathroom wall and the side wall of the hanging wall around the bathtub. Never do. In addition, since the length of the vertical piece is substantially matched to the height of the hanging wall around the bathtub, the locking portion can be properly locked to the lower end of the hanging wall around the bathtub. Since the bathtub is installed in a state where the cosmetic joint material of the present invention is attached to the side wall of the peripheral part of the bathtub, even when the bathroom wall and the cosmetic joint material interfere with each other and a force is applied in an upward direction, the locking part is drooping around the peripheral part of the bathtub. Since it is locked to the lower end of the wall and effectively resists upward force, the decorative joint material is not removed.

Further, since a rib having elasticity is protruded from the vertical piece on the up-slope side of the oblique piece, the rib is pressed against the bathroom wall, and secondary waterproofing can be reliably performed.

After the decorative joint material of the present invention is attached to the side wall of the hanging wall around the bathtub, when the bathtub is installed, the thickness of the vertical piece and the elastic rib serve as a spacer. When the gap between the bathroom wall and the side wall of the surrounding wall of the bathtub is narrow due to the elasticity of the bathroom, a strong force works to widen the gap,
If the gap is wide, the force is weak, so that it becomes a force that tries to make the gap uniform, and the gap between the bathroom wall and the side wall of the peripheral part of the bathtub can be constructed uniformly, and the gap does not expand beyond a predetermined dimension Therefore, waterproofing can be reliably performed, and the finish can be improved.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a decorative joint material of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 show a use state thereof, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another example of the decorative joint material of the present invention. In these figures, the decorative joint material A is integrally formed by extrusion molding with soft polyvinyl chloride.

In these figures, 1 is an oblique portion,
The cross-sectional shape is a substantially inverted crescent shape in which the upper surface 11 is a concave surface curved slightly downward, and the lower surface 12 is a curved convex surface having a larger curvature than the upper surface 11. The vertical piece 2 is suspended from the middle of the lower surface 12 of the oblique piece 1, and three ribs 3, 3, 3 project upward from one side surface 21 of the vertical side 2. 4
Is a locking portion provided below the vertical piece 2,
Is formed horizontally (FIG. 4) or hook-like (FIG. 1). The length between the locking portion 4 of the vertical side portion 2 and the oblique side portion 1 is substantially the same as the height of a peripheral hanging wall 51 of the bathtub 5 described later.

In order to use such a decorative joint material A of the present invention, as shown in FIG. After being attached to the side surface by fitting, the bathtub 5 is set on the bathtub mounting portion 7 on which the bathroom wall 6 is previously set up. Locking part 4 is bathtub 5
Since it is fitted to the lower end of the peripheral hanging wall 51, even when the bathroom wall 6 interferes with the decorative joint material A of the present invention when the bathtub 5 is installed, the decorative joint material A is not removed, and the slanted portion is not removed. The upper end of 1 is in close contact with the inner surface of the bathroom wall 6 and the lower end of the oblique portion 1 is in close contact with the upper surface of the peripheral portion of the bathtub 5 so that waterproof makeup is applied. The rib 3 and the vertical piece 2 are pressed against the side surface of the hanging wall 51 around the bathtub 5, and the reaction force due to the elasticity of the rib 3 makes the gap 55 between the bathroom wall 6 and the side surface of the hanging wall 51 around the bathtub uniform.
The secondary waterproofing can be performed reliably and the finish can be improved.

The bathtub mounting section 7 is an FRP frame provided adjacent to the washroom floor 8 and having an opening into which the bathtub 5 can be fitted and installed, and a wall mounting surface of the bathtub mounting section 7. The bathroom wall 6 is placed on the base 71 via a packing 61. Further, a packing 52 is provided between the end 72 of the bathtub mounting portion 7 and the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the bathtub 5. In this manner, as shown in FIG. 3, the gap between the peripheral portion of the bathtub 5 and the inner surface of the bathroom wall 6 is closed and closed by the oblique portion 1 of the decorative joint material A of the present invention.

[0019]

According to the decorative joint material of the present invention, the locking portion is provided at the lower portion of the vertical piece and the locking portion is locked to the lower end of the hanging wall around the bathtub. The decorative joint material attached to the side of the hanging wall does not interfere with the bathroom wall.

In the decorative joint material according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the elastic rib is projected from the vertical piece on the up-slope side of the oblique piece, secondary waterproofing can be reliably performed.

In the method for installing a decorative joint material according to the third aspect of the present invention, after installing the decorative joint material in advance on the side surface of the hanging wall around the bathtub, the bathtub is installed. Thus, the gap between the bathroom wall and the side wall of the peripheral wall of the bathtub can be uniformly enforced by the thickness of the vertical piece and the elasticity of the ribs, so that waterproofing can be reliably performed and the finish can be improved.
