Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to room-shaped units such as bathroom units, shower room units, washroom units, and toilet units. Regarding the room-shaped unit consisting of

(Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention) In bathroom units, etc., it is widely practiced to construct the inner wall surface with tiles.
Moreover, tiles of the same size are usually used.

However, if the tiles constituting the inner wall surface are all of the same size, it may cause inconvenience when using the bathroom or during repair.

For example, in a bathroom unit, if the interior walls are made of large tiles, the number of joints between the tiles will decrease, making it difficult to attach and allocate towel racks and other parts (these parts are In addition, if a tile is damaged, it will be difficult to remove and install the tile when replacing the tile in that area. Moreover, if the tiles break during the replacement work, there will be a large loss. This is because tiles with large dimensions are expensive.

On the other hand, if the wall surface is constructed of tiles with small dimensions, it will be easier to attach and allocate parts such as the towel rack, but the wall surface will become more likely to get dirty due to the increased number of joints.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was made to solve the above problem, and its gist is that the inner wall surface of the room-shaped unit is formed by a continuous boundary line extending in the horizontal direction. The tiles are divided into multiple parts in the vertical direction by The reason is that the size of the tiles is changed so that the tiles become smaller one by one from the bottom to the top without dividing the inner wall surface.

(Function) In other words, the present invention overturns the conventional common sense that the interior walls of bathroom units, etc. are all made of tiles of the same size, and the interior walls are made of tiles of different sizes in the vertical direction, that is, the interior walls are made of tiles of different sizes. The lower part of the wall was made up of large tiles, and the upper part was made up of smaller tiles.

In this way, the number of joints between tiles can be reduced in the lower part of the inner wall surface where water is likely to splash, and staining at the joints can be suppressed.

On the other hand, if towel racks and other parts are attached to the upper part of the inner wall surface made of small tiles, since there are many joints in this area, it will be easier to attach and allocate the parts, and it will also make it easier to make mistakes when installing them. Even if the tile is damaged, the loss will be less. Moreover, since the upper part of the inner wall surface is rarely exposed to water, even if there are many joints, stains will not be a problem.

In addition, by making the tiles on the interior wall smaller from the bottom to the top in this way, it is possible to induce a sense of psychological stability in bathroom users.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the interior of a bathroom unit that is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure 1
0 is the bathtub, 12 is the toilet, 14 and the wash basin, 1
6 is a shower, 18 is a towel rack attached to the inner wall surface, and 20 is a grip bar.

As shown in the figure, in the bathroom unit of this example, the inner wall surface is composed of three types of tiles 22, 24, and 26 of different sizes. That is, in this example, the inner wall surface is vertically divided into three parts by two horizontal boundary lines, and the lowermost part is divided by the tile 22, the middle part by the tile 24, Furthermore, the uppermost fraction is made up of tiles 26. bottom tile 2
2 is the largest with dimensions of 200 mm x 200 mm, and the uppermost tile 26 is the smallest with dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm, and the middle tile 24 has dimensions of 100 mm.
×100 mm, which is an intermediate dimension between the lower tile 22 and the upper tile 26.

Both ends of the towel rack 18 and the upper end of the grip bar 20 are attached to the joints of the uppermost tile 26 among them.

In this way, in the bathroom unit of this example, the size of the tiles on the inner wall surface can be changed in three stages: large, medium, and small, and the size is larger toward the bottom and smaller toward the top. Therefore, in addition to creating a sense of luxury, it can also induce a sense of psychological stability in bathroom users.

In addition, the lower part of the inner wall surface, where water is more likely to get wet, has fewer joints, so it is less likely to get dirty even if washing water etc. gets on the inner wall surface.On the other hand, the upper part has many joints, so it is easier to use towels. The ease of attaching and allocating hooks, etc. is also improved.

In addition, in this example, the size of the tiles is changed in three stages, but this can be changed to two stages, or conversely, four stages, five stages.
It is also possible to change it in stages.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. In this example, a tile 22 with a size of 200 mm x 200 mm is placed on the lower tier of the inner wall, as in the previous example, a tile 28 with a size of 200 mm x 100 mm is placed on the middle tier, and a tile 28 of 200 mm x 100 mm is placed on the upper tier.
A 100 mm x 100 mm tile 30 is used, and the boundary 32 between the lower and middle tiers and the boundary 34 between the middle and upper tiers are each changed in a step-like manner along the horizontal direction.

In both this example and the first example, the size of the tiles is changed stepwise from the bottom to the top, but in some cases, the size of the tiles is changed from the bottom to the top without dividing the inner wall surface. The size of the tiles may be changed so that the tiles become smaller one by one as the process progresses.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention can be configured in various other forms.

For example, in addition to the above-mentioned bathroom units, the present invention can also be applied to shower room units, washroom units,
It is also possible to apply it to a toilet unit, etc.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, in the present invention, the tiles on the inner wall surface of a room-shaped unit are changed stepwise or continuously from the bottom to the top.

The present invention effectively prevents the inner wall surface from becoming dirty and improves the ease of attaching parts such as towel racks, eliminating inconveniences in using or repairing the unit, and also provides psychological benefits to the user. It has excellent effects such as inducing a sense of stability.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] In a room-shaped unit formed by pasting tiles on the inner wall surface, the inner wall surface is divided vertically into a plurality of sections by continuous boundary lines extending in the horizontal direction, and each section is divided into multiple sections. Changing the size of the tiles or dividing the inner wall surface so that the size of the tiles is the same within the screen area, but the size of the tiles becomes smaller in each divided area, and the higher the divided area, the smaller the tile size is. A room-shaped unit characterized by changing the size of the tiles so that they become smaller one by one from the bottom to the top.
