【Example】

 As shown in FIG. 2, the bathroom 3 is formed by attaching the wall material 5 to the wall surface, installing the floor pan on the floor surface, and attaching the ceiling material to the ceiling. A reinforcing member 9 is integrally attached to the outer surface of the wall member 5. Structural materials such as columns 10 and studs 11 are provided outside the bathroom 3, and these are used to support the bathroom 3. The TV 1 can be attached to one of the four corners of the bathroom 3, and the wall members 5 adjacent to each other at the corner where the TV 1 is attached are provided with openings 6 respectively. Attachment reinforcements 12 are attached to both sides of each opening 6 so as to line the outer surface of the wall member 5. The attachment reinforcing material 12 is attached with a double-sided adhesive tape.

The television storage box 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box shape, and includes a box body 2a and a front cover portion 2b as shown in FIG. Protrusions 4 are provided on both sides of the back of the box body 2a so as to be bent backward. The box body 2a is arranged in a corner portion of the bathroom 3, and the protrusions 4 on both sides are provided with the wall material 5 respectively. It is attached by being fitted into the opening 6 of the. When the protrusion 4 is fitted in the opening 6, fasteners 14 such as screw fasteners are inserted into the attachment reinforcing member 12 through the attachment holes 13 and attached. At this time, each fixing member 12 is attached by inserting three fasteners 14, respectively. Fans 7 are installed in the upper portions of the protrusions 4 on both sides of the box body 2a. A TV stand 15 is provided in the lower part of the box body 2a, the TV 1 is placed on the TV stand 15, and a speaker 16 is provided below the TV stand 15.

A flange 17 is provided at the front end of the box body 2 a so as to project to the outer circumference over the entire circumference, and a mounting screw hole 18 is provided at an appropriate position of the flange 17, and the flange 17 on one side is provided. The hinge half 19a of the hinge member 19 is attached. A tongue piece 20 is provided so as to project further outward from a proper position on the outer periphery of the flange 17, and a mounting hole 21 is provided in the tongue piece 20. An opening 22 is provided in the front cover 2b for covering the front of the box body 2a so as to correspond to the screen 38 of the television 1, and a front glass 23 is attached to the opening 22. In the case of the invention, the front glass 23 is made of liquid crystal deflecting glass and becomes transparent when the front glass 23 of the liquid crystal deflecting glass is not energized and is transparent, and when it is energized to the front glass 23 of the liquid crystal deflecting glass. It becomes the state of an opaque mirror. An adhesive piece 24 is attached to the outer periphery of the opening 22, and the notch 25 of the adhesive piece 24 fits the peripheral edge of the front glass 23. An elastic partition 37 is interposed between the front glass 23 and the outer periphery of the screen 38 on the front of the television 1. The partition wall 37 made of an elastic material is provided in a ring shape so as to cover the entire outer circumference of the screen 38 of the television 1. The elastic partition wall 37 is made of sponge or the like and has a cushioning property. The partition wall 37 is sandwiched between the front glass 23 and the front surface of the TV 1 and is in close contact therewith, so that foreign matter cannot enter the screen 38 of the TV 1. . A flange 26 is provided on the peripheral edge of the front cover portion 2b, and a hinge half 19a of the hinge member 19 is provided on the flange 26 on one side. The hinge half 19a is a hinge half of the box body 2a. The front cover 2b can be opened and closed by attaching a butterfly to 19a. When the front cover portion 2b is closed, the flange 17 and the flange 26 are in close contact with each other, and the elastic partition wall 37 is elastically contacted with the peripheral edge of the screen 38 on the front surface of the television 1. With the front cover portion 2b closed, a fixing tool 28 such as a screw is screwed into the mounting screw hole 18 of the flange 17 from the flange 26 to fix the front cover portion 2b.

A remote control board 39 is attached to the inner surface of the lower part of the front cover portion 2b. By pressing a switch 40 on the front surface of the remote control board 39, the light emitting diode 41 attached to the remote control board 39 blinks. Then, a signal is sent to the light receiving section 42 of the television 1 to switch the channel or the like of the television 1. Further, in the case of this embodiment, the TV storage box 2 and the rack unit 30 can be mounted together. A two-stage shelf 31 is formed in the upper portion of the rack unit 30 by recessing, and an opening 32 larger in size than the outer shape of the television storage box 2 is provided in the lower portion of the rack unit 30. The rack unit 30 is arranged at a corner of the bathroom 3, and the TV storage box 2 is inserted into the opening 32 of the rack unit 30 to expose the front cover portion 2b of the TV storage box 2. The edge of the opening 32 of the rack unit 30 is attached to the mounting hole 21 of the tongue piece 20 of the box body 2a by a fastener such as a screw, and the back surface of the shelf portion 31 of the rack unit 30 is also secured by a fastener 33 as a wall material. It is attached to 5. Further, a frame cover 34 is fitted and attached over the entire circumference in the gap between the opening 32 of the rack unit 30 and the TV storage box 2. Reference numeral 35 is a reinforcing member attached to the rack unit 30.

The television device in the bathroom is configured as described above, and the television 1 can be watched while taking a bath. When the television 1 is viewed, the front glass 23 of the liquid crystal deflecting glass is not energized and the front glass 23 is kept transparent. At this time, the temperature in the bathroom 3 is high and the humidity is high, but since it is stored in the TV storage box 2, the TV 1 is not affected by the humidity. Further, when the temperature inside the television storage box 2 exceeds 40 ° C., the fan 7 is automatically driven and exhausted. At this time, the air in the wall is sucked in from the lower part of the TV storage box 2 and is exhausted into the wall from the upper part. Further, when the television 1 is not seen, the front glass 23 of the liquid crystal deflection glass can be energized to keep the front glass 23 in an opaque mirror state, which can be utilized as a mirror when the television 1 is not seen.
