【考案が解決しようとする課題】[Problems to be solved by the device]

この種のユニットバスの組付作業は、あらかじめ区画された浴室で行うことと 、その浴室を形成する壁面にユニットバスの壁パネルを近接して配置するところ から、壁パネルと浴室壁面との間の狭い間隙部分でボルトの連結作業を行わねば ならず、作業がやりにくくなっていた。 This type of unit bath assembly work should be performed in a pre-comparted bathroom, and the wall panel of the unit bath should be placed close to the wall forming the bathroom. The bolts had to be connected in the narrow gap between the two, making the work difficult.

【０００４】 本考案は上記従来の欠点を解消し、作業負担を軽減するとともに、組付自体も 容易に行うことができるユニットバスの壁パネル上端部の固定具を提供すること を目的とする。An object of the present invention is to provide a fixture for the upper end portion of a wall panel of a unit bath that solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, reduces the work load, and can be easily assembled.

【０００５】[0005]

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

上記目的を達成するために本考案にかかるユニットバスの側壁パネル上端部の 固定具は、互いに隣接する壁パネルの左右端辺補強用縦パイプの上端開口部に各 別に嵌入する嵌入部を一対設けるとともに、前記両嵌入部を、前記上端開口部そ れぞれに嵌入させた状態で、前記両縦パイプ同士を、前記壁パネルに沿う方向で 弾性的に挟持するように連設し、前記両縦パイプを挟持した状態の前記両嵌入部 との協働で、前記両縦パイプを、前記両壁パネルの肉厚方向で弾性的に挟持する 挟持部を前記両嵌入部に一体連設し、前記嵌入部を、前記肉厚方向において前記 上端開口部とほぼ同一幅に形成してあることを特徴とし、その作用効果は、次の 通りである。 In order to achieve the above object, the fixing device for the upper end portion of the side wall panel of the unit bath according to the present invention is provided with a pair of fitting portions for separately fitting the upper end openings of the vertical pipes for reinforcing the left and right end sides of the adjacent wall panels. At the same time, in a state in which the both fitting portions are fitted into the upper end opening portions, respectively, the both vertical pipes are continuously connected so as to elastically sandwich the two vertical pipes in a direction along the wall panel. In cooperation with the both fitting portions in a state where the vertical pipes are clamped, the both vertical pipes are elastically clamped in the wall thickness direction of the both wall panels, and the clamping portion is integrally connected to the both fitting portions, The fitting portion is formed to have substantially the same width as the upper end opening portion in the thickness direction, and the function and effect thereof are as follows.

【０００６】[0006]

【作用】[Action]

つまり、連結すべき両壁パネルの左右端辺補強用縦パイプを互いに隣接させて から、それらの上端開口部に嵌入部を各別に嵌入すると、両嵌入部は両縦パイプ 同士を、前記壁パネルに沿う方向で弾性的に挟持し、それと同時に、両嵌入部に 一体連設された挟持部が、両嵌入部との協働で前記両縦パイプを、前記両壁パネ ルの肉厚方向で弾性的に挟持して、両壁パネルを連結状態にする。 That is, when the vertical pipes for reinforcing the left and right end sides of both wall panels to be connected are made adjacent to each other and then the fitting portions are individually fitted into the upper end openings thereof, both fitting portions connect the vertical pipes to each other to the wall panel. Along the elastic direction, and at the same time, the sandwiching part integrally connected to both fitting parts cooperates with both fitting parts to connect both vertical pipes in the wall thickness direction of both wall panels. The two wall panels are elastically sandwiched to bring them into a connected state.

【０００７】 このように、前記上端開口部に嵌入部を嵌入させるだけで両壁パネルを連結す ることができるから、狭い作業空間でボルト締結していた従来と比べ、連結作業 をはるかに容易に行うことができる。As described above, since both wall panels can be connected only by inserting the fitting portion into the upper end opening portion, the connection work is much easier than the conventional case where bolts are fastened in a narrow working space. Can be done.

【０００８】 そして、前記嵌入部は、壁パネルの肉厚方向において前記上端開口部とほぼ同 一幅に形成してあるから、前記肉厚方向での両壁パネルの相対移動を防止でき、 しかも両縦パイプを、両嵌合部と挟持部との協働で、壁パネルの肉厚方向におい て挟持するから、両壁パネルが、縦パイプ周りに回転移動することも防止できる 。Since the fitting portion is formed to have substantially the same width as the upper end opening in the wall thickness direction of the wall panel, relative movement of both wall panels in the wall thickness direction can be prevented, and The two vertical pipes are clamped in the wall thickness direction of the wall panel by the cooperation of the both fitting portions and the clamping portion, so that both wall panels can be prevented from rotating around the vertical pipes.

【０００９】[0009]

【考案の効果】[Effect of the device]

従って、連結作業を従来よりもはるかに容易に行うことができるとともに、連 結状態において両壁パネルの肉厚方向及びパネル面に沿った方向での相対移動を 防止できるから、連結作業の作業性を向上することができ、しかも、連結構造を 安定的、かつ、強固なものにすることができるユニットバスの壁パネル上端部の 固定具を提供することができた。 Therefore, the connecting work can be performed much more easily than before, and the relative movement in the wall thickness direction of the both wall panels and the direction along the panel surface can be prevented in the connected state, so that the workability of the connecting work is improved. Thus, it was possible to provide a fixture for the upper end portion of the wall panel of the unit bath, which can improve the connection structure and make the connection structure stable and strong.

As shown in FIG. 4, a bathtub 1, a faucet fitting 2 for a bathtub, a faucet fitting 3 for a washroom, and a shower head 4 are provided, and a floorboard 5, a side wall 6, and a ceiling wall (FIG. (Not shown) are arranged to form an outer shell structure to form a unit bath.

【００１１】 図１に示すように、前記側壁６は、複数の壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂから成り、各壁 パネル６Ａ，６Ｂを縦向きパネル基板９と、この表面に張設されるタイル１０と で形成し、パネル基板９の背面における周辺部に補強用角パイプ１１（縦パイプ の一例）を一体固着してある。As shown in FIG. 1, the side wall 6 is composed of a plurality of wall panels 6A and 6B. Each of the wall panels 6A and 6B includes a vertically oriented panel substrate 9 and a tile 10 stretched over the surface. The reinforcing rectangular pipe 11 (an example of a vertical pipe) is integrally fixed to the peripheral portion on the back surface of the panel substrate 9.

【００１２】 前記第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂの上端部同士は、壁パネル上端部の固定具 １３を介して連結してある。以下に固定具１３及びその連結構造について説明す る。The upper ends of the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B are connected to each other via a fixture 13 at the upper end of the wall panel. The fixture 13 and its connecting structure will be described below.

【００１３】 前記固定具１３はステンレス薄板製で、図１〜図３、図５に示すように、隣接 する両角パイプ１１の上端開口部Ｓに各別に嵌入するとともに、前記上端開口部 Ｓに嵌入した状態で両角パイプ１１を、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂに沿う方 向で挟持する一対の嵌入片１４（嵌入部の一例）と、両角パイプ１１を挟持した 状態の嵌入片１４との協働で両角パイプ１１を、壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂの肉厚方向 で挟持する挟持片１５（挟持部の一例）とからなる。As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, the fixture 13 is made of a thin stainless steel plate and is fitted into the upper end openings S of the adjacent double-sided pipes 11 separately, and is also fitted into the upper end opening S. In a state in which the double-sided pipe 11 is sandwiched in the direction along the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B (an example of a fitting portion), and the double-sided pipe 11 is sandwiched in the state in which the double-sided pipe 11 is sandwiched. The double-sided pipe 11 is sandwiched in the wall thickness direction of the wall panels 6A and 6B in cooperation with the sandwiching piece 15 (an example of a sandwiching portion).

【００１４】 前記一対の嵌入片１４は、ステンレス薄板によって互いに対向した状態に一体 連設してあり、それらが、両角パイプ１１を弾性的に挟持できるように、両嵌入 片１４の先端部同士の離間距離を、重なり合った第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂ の肉厚よりもやや小に設定し、かつ、両嵌入片１４同士を先端部側ほど互いに近 接する形状に折曲形成してある。さらに、図２に示すように、この嵌入片１４を 、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂの肉厚方向において前記上端開口部Ｓとほぼ同 一幅に形成して、嵌入片１４が前記上端開口部Ｓに嵌入した状態で、第１、第２ 壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂが、その厚み方向に相対移動することを阻止させてある。The pair of fitting pieces 14 are integrally connected to each other by thin stainless plates so as to be opposed to each other, and the tip parts of the fitting pieces 14 are elastically sandwiched between the fitting pieces 14. The separation distance is set to be slightly smaller than the wall thickness of the overlapping first and second wall panels 6A and 6B, and both fitting pieces 14 are bent and formed so as to be closer to each other toward the tip end side. . Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the fitting piece 14 is formed to have substantially the same width as the upper end opening S in the thickness direction of the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B, and the fitting piece 14 is The first and second wall panels 6A and 6B are prevented from moving relative to each other in the thickness direction while being fitted into the upper end opening S.

【００１５】 また前記挟持片１５も、同じステンレス薄板によって嵌入片１４に一体連設し てあり、両嵌入片１４に対してその幅方向側から対向する状態に形成してある。 そして、嵌入片１４との協働で、両角パイプ１１を弾性的に挟持できるように、 その先端部と両嵌入片１４との離間距離を、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂの肉 厚よりも小に設定し、かつ、先端部側ほど両嵌入片１４に近接する形状に折曲形 成してある。The holding piece 15 is also integrally connected to the fitting pieces 14 by the same stainless thin plate, and is formed to face both fitting pieces 14 from the width direction side. Then, in cooperation with the fitting piece 14, the distance between the tip end portion and the fitting piece 14 is determined by the wall thickness of the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B so that the square pipe 11 can be elastically clamped. It is set to be smaller than the above, and is bent so as to be closer to both fitting pieces 14 toward the tip end side.

【００１６】 以上の構成において、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂを隣接させて、それらの 角パイプ１１の開口部Ｓに嵌入片１４を嵌入すると、両嵌入片１４で、隣接する 角パイプ１１を、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂに沿う方向において挟持すると 同時に、両嵌入片１４と挟持片１５とで、前記角パイプ１１を、前記壁パネル６ Ａ，６Ｂの肉厚方向において挟持し、第１、第２壁パネル６Ａ，６Ｂが連結状態 になり、夫々相対的に角パイプ１１周りに回動しようとするのを防止できる。 なお、図１に示すように、コーナー部においては、支柱用角パイプ１９と角パ イプ１１との間で固定具１３を用いる。In the above configuration, when the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B are adjacent to each other and the fitting pieces 14 are fitted into the openings S of the square pipes 11, the fitting pieces 14 are adjacent to each other. 11 is sandwiched in the direction along the first and second wall panels 6A, 6B, and at the same time, the square pipe 11 is sandwiched between the fitting pieces 14 and the sandwiching piece 15 in the thickness direction of the wall panels 6A, 6B. It is possible to prevent the first and second wall panels 6A and 6B from being connected to each other by being sandwiched and being relatively rotated about the square pipe 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, a fixing tool 13 is used between the support square pipe 19 and the square pipe 11 at the corner.

【００１７】 〔別実施例〕 図６に示すように、両嵌入片１４の先端部を互いに開き方向に折曲形成しても よい。そのように構成すると、角パイプ１１の開口部Ｓへの嵌入が容易になる。[Other Embodiments] As shown in FIG. 6, the tip ends of both fitting pieces 14 may be bent in the opening direction. With such a configuration, the square pipe 11 can be easily fitted into the opening S.
