Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an installation structure for installing a bath unit in a bathroom.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, in order to reduce the man-hours involved in constructing a bathroom, and in particular to simplify waterproofing work, a bath unit equipped with a bathtub and washing area has been manufactured in advance at a factory and installed on the bathroom floor. ing.

In this case, the installation structure of the bath unit is such that a wooden frame is attached to the inside of the base on the inner surface of the bathroom body to form a pedestal, on which a bathtub or washing area with a suspension rim is suspended (for example, Special Public Service 1977
-8163 Publication) or a suspension fitting equipped with a screw rod for height adjustment and an adjustment nut is installed inside the base of the inner surface of the bathroom frame, a horizontal member is passed between the suspension fittings, and a bath floor unit is placed on top of the suspension fittings. (e.g. Jitsukaiaki)
56-4493) etc. are known.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the former case, the bathtub and washing area are simply provided with a suspension edge and the edge is suspended from a frame, so the strength and load capacity of the bathtub and washing area themselves must be considerably increased. , the preparation of the washing area becomes complicated due to the complicated installation of reinforcing materials,
This increases the manufacturing cost and the time required for manufacturing, and does not take into account fine adjustment of the height and horizontality of the bath unit.

In the latter case, the height and levelness can be adjusted using the suspension metal fittings, but since the nuts and screws are turned using the suspension metal fittings, which concentrate the entire load, the entire structure may become unstable, causing problems such as wall panels, doors, etc. There is a risk that gaps may occur at the joints, and the load capacity as a whole tends to be insufficient.

Furthermore, when installing a bath unit in a cold region, if you do not leave as much space as possible from the ground, there is a high possibility that the water supply section, drainage section, etc. of the bath unit will freeze, but if both of the above are installed, freezing will occur. In order to enlarge the space to avoid this, it is necessary to raise the base or foundation on which the bath unit is suspended, or to excavate the ground under the bath unit.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the problem of the above-mentioned mount, the installation structure of the bath floor unit of the present invention is such that the width of the cloth foundation is wider than the width of the base placed on it, and a projecting portion is provided on the inside of the opposing cloth foundation. At the same time, a horizontal frame member fixing member without a height adjustment function is fixed in contact with each of the protruding parts, and a frame is formed by suspending the horizontal frame member between the horizontal frame member fixing members, and a bath is attached to this frame. A floor unit is installed, and this bath floor unit has a washing area,
The bottom of the bathtub is lower than the washing area, and the bottom of the bathtub has legs that do not have a height adjustment function, and the bottom of the washing area has a support that has a height adjustment function. It is characterized by being

[Effect]

Since the installation structure of the bath floor unit of the present invention abuts and fixes the horizontal member fixing member, which does not have a height adjustment function, on the projecting part of the cloth foundation, the entire support part of the bath floor unit does not wobble or swing. However, the overall load capacity and strength are improved.

On the other hand, the bath unit has legs that do not have a height adjustment function on the back of the bottom of the bathtub, and a support that has a height adjustment function on the back of the bottom of the washing area. With the support of
By adjusting the level difference between the bathtub and the washing area, and by finely adjusting the levelness of the entire bath unit, a space to prevent freezing can be secured between the ground and the back of the bath unit using the bathtub legs and the support for the washing area. .
