【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、固定体に対してパネル体を取り付けるためのパネル取付具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般住宅用の浴槽は、その上縁及び内面のみの表面が、合成樹脂や人工大理石などで見栄え良く加工されている。またその縁の高さを洗い場の床面よりも高くして設置されており、特にシステムバスの場合、浴槽における洗い場側に面する部分は、浴室の壁面や浴槽のデザインに合わせて形成されたパネル体によって隠蔽されることが一般的である。
【0003】
さて、このようなパネル体の取付構造として、従来、パネル体の内面の下端に差込金具を設けると共に、浴槽の底部外面に挟持体を設け、浴槽の上縁の内側にパネル体の上端を嵌め込んだ状態で、パネル体の下端を浴槽側に押しつけることによって差込金具を挟持体に挟み込ませるようにしたものが知られている(実開平4−51289号公報参照)。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかるに、上記従来の構造にあっては、差込金具を挟持する挟持体の弾発力にのみパネル体の保持力を依存することから、脱却可能とするには保持力を低く設定しなければならないなど、保持力を適切に設定することが困難であった。また挟持体の経年劣化などを考慮すると、長期に亘って初期の保持力を維持することは困難であり、その信頼性にも問題があった。
【0005】
また、挟持体と差込金具との相対位置精度が低いと、所望の保持力が得られなくなるばかりでなく、場合によっては組み立てが不能となるので、挟持体と差込金具との上下位置の調節手段が不可欠であり、上記公報には、上下方向の長孔を介して挟持体をねじ止めすることでその上下位置を調節可能とした構造が開示されている。
【0006】
しかしながら、上記長孔による調節構造は、差込金具を挟持体に合わせる作業自体がブラインド作業となるため、誤差があった場合、どの程度の修正をしなければならないかの判断を下すことが困難であった。
【0007】
本発明は、上記のような従来技術の問題点を解消すべく案出されたものであり、その第1の目的は、十分な保持力が確保でき、しかも脱却が比較的容易に行えるように構成されたパネル取付具を提供することにある。またその第2の目的は、固定体とパネル体との相対位置誤差を容易に修正することができるように構成されたパネル取付具を提供することにある。
【0008】
上記第1の目的を達成するために、本願請求項1の発明は、固定体(実施の形態中の固定壁4)に対してパネル体(7)を取り付けるべく、前記パネル体と前記固定体との間に設けられるパネル取付具(11)であって、前記固定体および前記パネル体の一方に固定された固定部材(16)と、前記固定体および前記パネル体の他方に水平方向に延設されたガイド手段(10)と、前記ガイド手段に摺動可能に支持された基部(実施の形態中の挟持部13)と、前記基部に突設され、前記基部の摺動方向において前記基部よりも短く形成された第1ガイド壁(17)とを備えた可動部材(12)とを有し、前記固定体に対して前記パネル体を取り付ける際に、前記パネル体を前記固定体側に押し付けることによって前記固定部材と前記基部とが当接し、前記パネル体が前記固定体に仮止めされた状態が形成され、この状態から前記可動部材が前記ガイド手段に対して摺動させられることによって、前記第1ガイド壁と前記固定部材とが係合することを特徴とする。
【0009】
このようにすれば、パネル体の着脱方向と、取付具の係合・離脱方向とが、互いに異なる方向となるので、固定体に対するパネル体の十分な保持力と脱却容易性とを両立させることができる。
【0010】
また本願請求項2の発明は、第1の発明において、前記可動部材は、前記基部の前記第1ガイド壁と前記ガイド手段が延設された前記固定体または前記パネル体との間に突設され、前記基部の摺動方向において前記第1ガイド壁よりも長く形成された第2ガイド壁(18)を備えることを特徴とする。また本願請求項3の発明は、可動部材を摺動操作すべくパネル体の下端縁からアクセス可能な操作片(22)を可動部材に設けるものとした。これによれば、パネル体の外方から簡単に可動部材を固定部材に対して係合・離脱させることができる。
【0011】
さらに本願請求項4の発明においては、前記可動、固定両部材が、左右対称形をなし、左右いずれの側からも係合・離脱可能であるものとした。これによれば、左右勝手違いに対しても共通の部品で対応することができる。
【0012】
そして上記第2の目的を達成するために、本願請求項5の発明においては、固定体に対してパネル体を取り付けるべく、パネル体と固定体との間に設けられるパネル取付具を、互いに直線摺動して係合・離脱可能に組み合わされる可動部材および固定部材と、可動、固定両部材のいずれか一方に設けられた受容部(実施の形態中の箱状部25)に支持されると共に他方に設けられた当接面(挟持部13の下面)に当接して該可動、固定両部材のパネル体および固定体に対する取付面同士間の寸法を規定するアジャスタ部材(29)とを有し、前記アジャスタ部材は、受容部の内面に対応する面と当接面に対応する面との間隔が互いに異なる(A>B>C>D)多角形をなしており、該アジャスタ部材の向きを変えることによって可動、固定両部材のパネル体および固定体に対する取付面同士間の寸法が変化するようにしてなることを特徴とするものとした。
【0013】
このようにすれば、アジャスタ部材の向きを変えるだけで固定体とパネル体との相対位置誤差を容易に修正することができる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、添付の図面を参照して本発明について詳細に説明する。
【0015】
図1並びに図2は、本発明の適用部位であるシステムバスに於ける浴槽の側壁の一部を示している。浴槽1は、その開口面に形成された外向フランジ2が、洗い場の床板3の上面から立ち上げられて直立する固定体としての固定壁4の上端縁4aに引掛けられている。また外向フランジ2には、その外端縁を下向きに折り曲げることによって垂下部5が形成されている。
【0016】
床板3と固定壁4との間には、断面形状がクランク状をなすように折曲形成された段部6が、床板3の上面からやや高い位置に設けられている。そして段部6と外向フランジ2との間が、パネル体7で覆われるようにされている。
【0017】
パネル体7の上端には、断面形状がクランク状をなす段部8が形成されると共に、その最上面の内縁部に板ばね9が固定されている。そしてパネル体7は、板ばね9の遊端を固定壁4の上端部外面に弾圧させ、かつ段部8の外面を外向フランジ2の垂下部5の内面に当接させることにより、その上端を浴槽1の外向フランジ2に係合させるようになっている。
【0018】
パネル体7の下端縁近傍の内面には、水平方向に延在するガイドリブ10が形成されている。このガイドリブ10には、本発明による取付具11の一方を構成する可動部材12が、その上部に形成された断面形状がコ字状をなす挟持部13で挟むようにして取り付けられている。
【0019】
可動部材12は、図3並びに図4に示したように、左右対称形に形成されており、その挟持部13には、パネル体7の一般面に平行な長孔14が形成されている。この長孔14とガイドリブ10の適所に形成された丸孔15とに樹脂クリップCLを矢印A(図3)の向きに貫通させることにより、所定範囲を摺動可能なるようにガイドリブ10に可動部材12が結合している。
【0020】
可動部材12の挟持部13の下面には、後記する取付具11の他方を構成する固定部材16の前後両面を挟むように、前後一対のガイド壁17・18が垂下されている。これらのガイド壁17・18は、図4に併せて示されるように、パネル体7から遠い側の内側ガイド壁17の方が、パネル体7に近い側の外側ガイド壁18に比して左右方向寸法を短くされ、且つその外面に適宜に設けられたリブ19で補強されている。また、内側ガイド壁17の内面の左右方向中央には、リブ状のストッパ突起20が垂直方向に延設され、外側ガイド壁18の内面には、断面形状がV字形をなす左右一対の突条21が垂直方向に延設されている。そして外側ガイド壁18の下縁の左右方向中央には、操作片22が垂設されている。
【0021】
他方、床板3と固定壁4との間の段部6の上面には、上記可動部材12の前後一対のガイド壁17・18間に係合し得る固定部材16がビス23をもって固定されている。この固定部材16は、段部6の上面に固定されるベース部24と、ベース部24の前端に立ち上げられた上面が開口する箱状部25とからなっている。箱状部25は、その前後方向厚さが可動部材12の前後一対のガイド壁17・18間の寸法と略等しくされており、その前後面の中央には、V字溝26が垂直方向に延設され、その内側の左右方向中央の底面には、垂直方向の突片27が形成され、その左右両外端部には、テーパ状に先細りになったガイド部28が形成されている。
【0022】
可動部材12と固定部材16との取付位置関係は、床板3と連続した段部6の適宜な位置に固定部材16が固定されているとした時に、可動部材12は、図3で見て、左方の初期位置から右方へ所定距離スライド可能であり、初期位置にある状態で、内側ガイド壁17の右端が固定部材16の左側ガイド部28と干渉しないように定められている。なお、これらの取付具11は、パネル体7の適所に複数箇所設けられている。また、可動部材12は左右対称形なので、そのスライド方向をいずれの方向に設定しても良いが、混乱のないように規則性をもたせておくことが好ましい。
【0023】
この状態で、先ずパネル体7の下縁を手前側にしてその上縁を浴槽1の外向きフランジ2に係合させる(段落番号0017参照)。次にパネル体7の下縁を床板3と固定壁4間の段部6へ向けて押し付ける。すると、外側ガイド壁18が内側ガイド壁17より左右方向に出っ張っているので、その出っ張り部分が固定部材16の箱状部25の前面に当接し、かつ箱状部25の上面に可動部材12の挟持部13の下面が乗っかって仮止めされる。
【0024】
この状態で、パネル体7の下縁から可動部材12の操作片22が僅かに下向きに突出しているので、この操作片22を指先で押すなどして可動部材12を図3上で右方へ移動させる。これにより、両ガイド壁17・18間に箱状部25が受容され、且つ突条21とV字溝26とが材料自体の弾性で互いに係合する。この時の可動部材12の移動距離は、可動部材12の外側ガイド壁18内面のストッパ突起20が固定部材16の左側ガイド部28の端面に当接することで規定される。
【0025】
以上のようにして、本発明によれば、パネル体7の着脱方向と取付具11の係合方向とが互いに異なる方向となっており、このようにすることで、取付具11の係合時には所望の保持力が得られ、且つ可動部材12をスライドさせるのみで容易にパネル体7を着脱可能な状態にすることができる。
【0026】
さて、上記の可動部材12と固定部材16とからなる取付具11は、例えばパネル体7の左右にそれぞれ設けられているが、左右の取付具11の高さ位置に誤差があると、外向きフランジ2の垂下部5とパネル体7の段部8との間の隙間G(図1)が不均一となって見栄えが悪くなるので、この隙間Gが均一となるように、左右に設けた取付具11の少なくとも一方にアジャスタを設けるものとしている。
【0027】
アジャスタ29は、固定部材16の箱状部25内に受容されると共に、可動部材12の挟持部13の下面に当接することによってパネル体7の取付高さを調節するものであり、図5に示したように、四角柱状をなすと共にその各側面に深さが互いに異なる(A>B>C>D)溝30a・30b・30c・30dが形成されており、箱状部25の内側に設けられた突片27にこれらの溝30a・30b・30c・30dのいずれか1つを選択的に係合させることにより、その上面の高さ位置を簡単に変化させることができるようになっている。
【0028】
なお、アジャスタ29を受容する箱状部25のパネル体7側の底部には、例えばマイナスドライバなどの先端を突入させることができる程度の切欠部31が形成されており(図1参照)、段部6に固定された固定部材16の箱状部25からアジャスタ29を取り出す際には、この切欠部31から突入させたマイナスドライバの先端でアジャスタ29を押し上げることができるようにされている。
【0029】
【発明の効果】
以上、詳述した通り、本発明の請求項1によるパネル取付具によれば、パネル体及び固定体に設けられた係合部材の一方(可動部材)を、パネル体の縁に沿って、即ち固定体(浴槽)に対するパネル体の着脱方向と略直交する方向に、スライドさせることにより、係合部材の他方(固定部材)と係合・離脱する構造としたので、製造精度や組付精度をさほど高くしなくても、初期の保持力が経年劣化せずに長期間に亘って維持され、しかも、パネル体の脱却時に要する力が小さくて済むので、高い着脱作業性が得られる。
【0030】
特に、パネル体の下端縁からアクセス可能な操作片を可動部材に設けるものとすれば、パネル体の外方から簡単に可動部材を固定部材に対して係合・離脱させることができ、また、可動、固定両部材が、左右対称形をなし、左右いずれの側からも係合・離脱可能であるものとすれば、左右勝手違いに対しても共通の部品で対応することができる。
【0031】
そして本発明の請求項4のアジャスタによれば、係合部材の一方に設けられた当接面に対応する面と、係合部材の他方に設けられた受容部の内面に対応する面との間隔が互いに異なる多角形をなし、該アジャスタの向きを変えることによって係合部材のパネル体および固定体に対する取付面同士間の寸法が変化するようにしたので、アジャスタの向きを変えるだけで高さ位置の調節を簡単に行うことができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a panel fixture for attaching a panel body to a fixed body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As for the bathtub for general houses, the surface of only the upper edge and the inner surface is processed with good appearance with synthetic resin or artificial marble. In addition, the height of the edge is set higher than the floor of the washroom. Especially in the case of the system bath, the part facing the washroom side of the bathtub was formed according to the design of the bathroom wall and bathtub. Generally, it is hidden by the panel body.
[0003]
As a mounting structure for such a panel body, conventionally, an insertion fitting is provided at the lower end of the inner surface of the panel body, a sandwiching body is provided at the outer surface of the bottom of the bathtub, and the upper end of the panel body is provided inside the upper edge of the bathtub. It is known that the fitting is inserted into the holding body by pressing the lower end of the panel body against the bathtub side in the fitted state (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-51289).
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-described conventional structure, since the holding force of the panel body depends only on the elastic force of the holding body that holds the insertion fitting, the holding force must be set low in order to be able to escape. For example, it was difficult to set the holding force appropriately. In consideration of the aging of the sandwiched body, it is difficult to maintain the initial holding force over a long period of time, and there is a problem in its reliability.
[0005]
In addition, if the relative positional accuracy between the sandwiching body and the insertion fitting is low, not only the desired holding force can not be obtained, but also the assembly is impossible in some cases. The adjusting means is indispensable, and the above publication discloses a structure in which the vertical position can be adjusted by screwing the clamping body through a long hole in the vertical direction.
[0006]
However, the adjustment structure using the long hole described above is a blind operation because the operation of fitting the fitting to the holding body itself is a blind operation, so it is difficult to determine how much correction should be made if there is an error. Met.
[0007]
The present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problems of the prior art. The first object of the present invention is to ensure a sufficient holding force and to make it relatively easy to escape. The object is to provide a structured panel fixture. A second object of the invention is to provide a panel fixture that can easily correct a relative position error between a fixed body and a panel body.
[0008]
In order to achieve the first object, the invention of claim 1 of the present application relates to the panel body and the fixed body in order to attach the panel body (7) to the fixed body (the fixed wall 4 in the embodiment). A panel attachment (11) provided between the fixing body and the fixing member (16) fixed to one of the panel body and the other of the fixing body and the panel body in the horizontal direction. A guide means (10) provided, a base portion slidably supported by the guide means (the sandwiching portion 13 in the embodiment), and a base portion projecting from the base portion, and in the sliding direction of the base portion A movable member (12) having a first guide wall (17) formed shorter than the first guide wall, and when the panel body is attached to the fixed body, the panel body is pressed against the fixed body side. The fixing member and the base A state is formed in which the panel body is abutted and temporarily fixed to the fixed body, and the movable member is slid relative to the guide means from this state, whereby the first guide wall and the fixed member are Are engaged.
[0009]
In this way, the attaching / detaching direction of the panel body and the engaging / disengaging direction of the fixture are different from each other, so that both sufficient holding force of the panel body with respect to the fixed body and ease of removal can be achieved. Can do.
[0010]
In the invention of claim 2 of the present application, in the first invention, the movable member protrudes between the first guide wall of the base and the fixed body or the panel body in which the guide means is extended. And a second guide wall (18) formed longer than the first guide wall in the sliding direction of the base. In the invention of claim 3, the movable member is provided with an operation piece (22) accessible from the lower end edge of the panel body so as to slide the movable member. According to this, the movable member can be easily engaged and disengaged from the fixed member from the outside of the panel body.
[0011]
Furthermore, in the invention of claim 4 of the present application, both the movable and fixed members have a bilaterally symmetric shape, and can be engaged and disengaged from either the left or right side. According to this, it is possible to deal with a difference between right and left with common parts.
[0012]
In order to achieve the second object, in the invention of claim 5 of the present application, in order to attach the panel body to the fixed body, the panel fixtures provided between the panel body and the fixed body are linearly connected to each other. A movable member and a fixed member that are slidably engaged and disengaged and supported by a receiving portion (box-like portion 25 in the embodiment) provided on either the movable or the fixed member. And an adjuster member (29) that abuts against a contact surface (the lower surface of the sandwiching portion 13) provided on the other side and regulates the dimension between the movable and fixed members on the panel body and the mounting surfaces with respect to the fixed body. The adjuster member has a polygon (A>B>C> D) in which the space between the surface corresponding to the inner surface of the receiving portion and the surface corresponding to the contact surface is different from each other (A>B>C> D). Both movable and fixed by changing Dimension between the mounting faces for the panel body and the fixed body of the timber is assumed characterized by comprising as changes.
[0013]
In this way, the relative position error between the fixed body and the panel body can be easily corrected by simply changing the direction of the adjuster member.
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015]
1 and 2 show a part of a side wall of a bathtub in a system bath, which is an application site of the present invention. An outward flange 2 formed on the opening surface of the bathtub 1 is hooked on an upper end edge 4a of a fixed wall 4 as a fixed body that rises up from an upper surface of a floor plate 3 of a washing place. The outward flange 2 is formed with a hanging portion 5 by bending the outer edge of the outward flange 2 downward.
[0016]
Between the floor plate 3 and the fixed wall 4, a step portion 6 that is bent so that its cross-sectional shape forms a crank shape is provided at a slightly higher position from the upper surface of the floor plate 3. The space between the stepped portion 6 and the outward flange 2 is covered with a panel body 7.
[0017]
At the upper end of the panel body 7, a step portion 8 having a crank-like cross section is formed, and a leaf spring 9 is fixed to the inner edge portion of the uppermost surface. The panel body 7 is configured such that the free end of the leaf spring 9 is elastically pressed against the outer surface of the upper end portion of the fixed wall 4, and the outer surface of the step portion 8 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the hanging portion 5 of the outward flange 2. It engages with the outward flange 2 of the bathtub 1.
[0018]
A guide rib 10 extending in the horizontal direction is formed on the inner surface in the vicinity of the lower end edge of the panel body 7. A movable member 12 constituting one of the fixtures 11 according to the present invention is attached to the guide rib 10 so as to be sandwiched by a sandwiching portion 13 having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape.
[0019]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the movable member 12 is formed in a bilaterally symmetrical shape, and a long hole 14 parallel to the general surface of the panel body 7 is formed in the sandwiching portion 13. By moving the resin clip CL through the long hole 14 and the round hole 15 formed at an appropriate position of the guide rib 10 in the direction of the arrow A (FIG. 3), the guide rib 10 has a movable member so that it can slide within a predetermined range. 12 are connected.
[0020]
A pair of front and rear guide walls 17 and 18 are suspended from the lower surface of the sandwiching portion 13 of the movable member 12 so as to sandwich both front and rear surfaces of the fixing member 16 constituting the other of the fixture 11 described later. As shown in FIG. 4, these guide walls 17, 18 are arranged such that the inner guide wall 17 on the side farther from the panel body 7 has a left and right side than the outer guide wall 18 on the side closer to the panel body 7. The direction dimension is shortened, and it is reinforced with ribs 19 provided appropriately on the outer surface thereof. In addition, a rib-like stopper projection 20 extends vertically in the center of the inner surface of the inner guide wall 17 in the left-right direction, and a pair of left and right protrusions having a V-shaped cross section on the inner surface of the outer guide wall 18. 21 extends in the vertical direction. An operation piece 22 is suspended from the center of the lower edge of the outer guide wall 18 in the left-right direction.
[0021]
On the other hand, a fixing member 16 that can be engaged between the pair of front and rear guide walls 17 and 18 of the movable member 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the step portion 6 between the floor plate 3 and the fixed wall 4 with screws 23. . The fixing member 16 includes a base portion 24 that is fixed to the upper surface of the stepped portion 6 and a box-shaped portion 25 that is open at the upper surface raised at the front end of the base portion 24. The box-shaped portion 25 has a thickness in the front-rear direction substantially equal to the dimension between the pair of front-rear guide walls 17 and 18 of the movable member 12, and a V-shaped groove 26 extends vertically in the center of the front-rear surface. Extendingly, a vertical projecting piece 27 is formed on the bottom surface in the center in the left-right direction on the inside, and a guide portion 28 tapered in a tapered shape is formed on both left and right outer ends.
[0022]
The mounting position relationship between the movable member 12 and the fixed member 16 is such that when the fixed member 16 is fixed at an appropriate position of the step portion 6 continuous with the floor plate 3, the movable member 12 is seen in FIG. A predetermined distance is slidable from the left initial position to the right, and the right end of the inner guide wall 17 is determined not to interfere with the left guide portion 28 of the fixing member 16 in the initial position. Note that a plurality of these fixtures 11 are provided at appropriate positions on the panel body 7. Further, since the movable member 12 is symmetrical, the sliding direction may be set in any direction, but it is preferable to provide regularity so as not to be confused.
[0023]
In this state, first, the lower edge of the panel body 7 is set to the front side, and the upper edge is engaged with the outward flange 2 of the bathtub 1 (see paragraph 0017). Next, the lower edge of the panel body 7 is pressed toward the step portion 6 between the floor plate 3 and the fixed wall 4. Then, since the outer guide wall 18 protrudes in the left-right direction from the inner guide wall 17, the protruding portion comes into contact with the front surface of the box-shaped portion 25 of the fixed member 16, and the movable member 12 is placed on the upper surface of the box-shaped portion 25. The lower surface of the clamping part 13 is put on and temporarily fixed.
[0024]
In this state, since the operation piece 22 of the movable member 12 protrudes slightly downward from the lower edge of the panel body 7, the movable member 12 is moved rightward in FIG. 3 by pressing the operation piece 22 with a fingertip. Move. Thereby, the box-shaped part 25 is received between the guide walls 17 and 18, and the protrusion 21 and the V-shaped groove 26 are engaged with each other by the elasticity of the material itself. The moving distance of the movable member 12 at this time is defined by the stopper projection 20 on the inner surface of the outer guide wall 18 of the movable member 12 coming into contact with the end surface of the left guide portion 28 of the fixed member 16.
[0025]
As described above, according to the present invention, the attaching / detaching direction of the panel body 7 and the engaging direction of the fixture 11 are different from each other. A desired holding force can be obtained, and the panel body 7 can be easily attached and detached simply by sliding the movable member 12.

【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the panel fixture according to claim 1 of the present invention, one of the engaging members (movable members) provided on the panel body and the fixed body is moved along the edge of the panel body, that is, Since it is structured to engage and disengage from the other (fixing member) of the engaging member by sliding it in a direction substantially perpendicular to the attaching / detaching direction of the panel body with respect to the fixed body (tub), the manufacturing accuracy and assembly accuracy are improved. Even if it is not so high, the initial holding force is maintained over a long period of time without deterioration over time, and the force required when the panel body is removed can be reduced, so that high detachability is obtained.
[0030]
In particular, if an operation piece accessible from the lower end edge of the panel body is provided on the movable member, the movable member can be easily engaged with and detached from the fixed member from the outside of the panel body. If the movable and fixed members are symmetrical, and can be engaged and disengaged from either the left or right side, it is possible to cope with a difference in right and left with common parts.
[0031]
According to the adjuster of claim 4 of the present invention, the surface corresponding to the contact surface provided on one side of the engaging member and the surface corresponding to the inner surface of the receiving portion provided on the other side of the engaging member. By forming polygons with different intervals and changing the orientation of the adjuster, the dimensions between the mounting surfaces of the engaging member with respect to the panel body and the fixed body are changed. The position can be easily adjusted.
