Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a joining structure for panels used in bath units, partition walls, etc.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when connecting panels to form a bath unit or partition wall, the side end walls of adjacent panels are joined by tightening bolts and nuts on the back side.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when a person cannot fit into the back side of the panel, such as when assembling a bath unit in a narrow room with limited space, such as in a high-rise housing complex or condominium, tightening bolts and nuts like this The drawback is that the panels cannot be connected.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made in order to improve such drawbacks, and the upper half is made narrower than the back of the side end frame, and the upper half is The outer edge of the panel of the lower half connected to the panel is protruded to the length of the total width of the back sides of the adjacent end frames on both sides, and the protruding end is further bent at right angles to the back side of the side edge frames. Attach a hook receiving plate, and attach an upper half wider than the back of the side end frame to the other back, and a lower half connected to this upper half with the same width as the thickness of the hook receiving plate in the direction of the back of the side end frame. The lower end is further folded toward the back of the side end frame to expand it, and a hook with a tapered surface is attached from the lower end of the lower half toward the side of the side end frame. By engaging the lower half of the hook attached to the back side of the side edge frame of one panel with the protrusion of the lower half of the hook receiving plate attached to the back side of the side edge frame of the other panel, The panels can be easily connected by simply placing the panels adjacent to each other from the front side and engaging the hooks on the hook receiving plates without having to operate the panels.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the joint structure of the panel of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a panel used, for example, as an inner wall of a bath unit, and a panel frame 4 is formed by U-shaped side end frames 2a and 2b at both ends and horizontal frames 3 installed horizontally at the upper and lower ends and, if necessary, in the middle. A gypsum board 5 for heat insulation and soundproofing is fixed to this panel frame 4, and tiles 6 are further pasted on the gypsum board 5.

7 is a hook receiving plate attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2a of the panel frame 4, and 8 is a U-shaped right end frame 2b.
is a hook attached to the hook receiving plate 7.
The base end 71 bent along the left end frame 2a is screwed and fixed to the left end frame 2a with screws 9, and the upper half 7 is fixed.
2 is narrower than the back surface 20a of the left end frame 2a, and the lower half 73 connected to the upper half 72 is
The rear surface 20a of the left end frame 2a and the rear surface 20b of the right end frame 2b of the adjacent panel are protruded from the outer side of the panel to the total width, and the protruding end 74 of the lower half is further extended to the left side. It is bent at right angles to the back side of the end frame 2a. In addition, the hook 8 connects the base end 81 bent along the right end frame 2b with the screw 10 to the right end frame 2b.
b, and fix the upper half 82 to the right end frame 2b.
A lower half part 83 extending wider than the back face 20b of the right side end frame 2b and connected to the upper half part 82 is bent and hangs down in the direction of the back face of the right end frame 2b with the same width as the thickness of the hook receiving plate 7. 84 is further bent and expanded toward the rear surface of the right end frame 2b, and a tapered surface 85 is provided from the lower end of the lower half portion 83 toward the side surface of the right end frame 2b.

Therefore, the panels 1 in which the hook receiving plate 7 is attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2a and the hook 8 is attached to the U-shaped right end frame 2b are placed adjacent to each other and the U-shaped panel 1 of the left panel 1 is attached. The lower half 83 of the hook 8 attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2b of the right panel 1 is fitted from above into the lower half 73 of the hook receiving plate 7 attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2a of the right panel 1. When the hook 8 is slid downward, the lower half 83 of the hook 8 is engaged with the lower half 73 of the hook receiving plate 7, and the lower half 83 of the hook 8 and the lower half 73 of the hook receiving plate 7 At the end 74, both panels 1 are connected.
Therefore, panel 1 on the left versus panel 1 on the right
are arranged slightly higher and adjacent to each other, and the hook 8 attached to the U-shaped right end frame 2b of the left panel 1 is fitted into the hook receiving plate 7 attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2a of the right panel 1, Then, by simply sliding the left-hand panel 1 down to the same height as the left-hand panel 1, both adjacent panels 1, 1 can be easily and quickly removed.
They are securely engaged and connected without any gaps. On this occasion,
The lower part of the lower half 83 of the hook 8 fixed to the U-shaped right end frame 2b of the adjacent left panel 1 is tapered by providing a tapered surface 85 in the side direction of the U-shaped right end frame 2b. Since the portion 84 is expanded in the rear direction, the hook 8 is not easily attached to the lower half 73 and the protruding end 74 of the hook receiving plate 7 attached to the U-shaped left end frame 2a of the adjacent right panel 1. Engagement is easily done. At the same time, the U-shaped right end frame 2b
The hook upper half 82, which is wider than the back surface of the hook receiving plate 7, is adjacent to the upper half section 72, which is narrower than the back surface of the U-shaped left end frame 2a of the hook receiving plate 7. Since both panels 1 are aligned so that the back surface 20b of the U-shaped right end frame 2b is on the same plane, both panels 1, which are connected adjacently,
1 are accurately and reliably connected on the same plane without shifting back and forth.

In addition, in the above embodiment, each adjacent panel 1,
1, three pairs of hooks 8 and hook receiving plates 7 are attached to the back side of both side end frames, but the mounting position and number of these hooks 8 and hook receiving plates 7 are not particularly limited, and an appropriate number of one or more hooks 8 and hook receiving plates 7 are attached. The panels 1, 1 may be connected by attaching them in pairs and engaging them. Furthermore, the panel frame 4 of each panel 1, 1 may be made of metal such as steel, plastic, or wood, and is not particularly limited in material, and any material may be suitably used. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a support member 11 having an H-shaped cross section is disposed between the U-shaped left end frame 2a and the U-shaped right end frame 2b, which are connected by the engagement of the hook 8 and the hook receiving plate 7.
By fitting the two panels over the entire length of both end frames, the two panels 1, 1 can be connected even more accurately, and they can be connected accurately and reliably on the same plane.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the joining structure of the panels of the present invention is such that the upper half is narrower than the back of the side end frame and the lower half is connected to the upper half on the back of one of the side end frames facing each other of adjacent panels. A hook receiving plate is provided in which the outside end of the half panel is protruded to the total width of the back surfaces of the adjacent end frames on both sides, and the protruding end is further bent at a right angle to the back surface of the side end frames. Attach and bend the upper half wider than the back of the side end frame and the lower half connected to this upper half toward the back of the side end frame to the same width as the thickness of the hook receiving plate on the other back. The lower end is further bent toward the back of the side end frame to expand it, and a hook with a tapered surface is attached from the lower end of the lower half toward the side of the side end frame. The lower half of the hook attached to the back of the end frame of the other panel is connected by engaging the protrusion of the lower half of the hook receiving plate attached to the back of the side end frame of the other panel. You can easily connect panels by simply adjoining each panel from the front side and hooking the hook to the hook receiving plate without any operation, making it ideal for welding rooms with limited space such as high-rise apartment complexes and condominiums. Even when assembling a bus unit, panels can be easily connected. In addition, it does not take much time to connect the panels, and it can be completely joined with extremely simple operations, so it can be widely used for interior walls of bath units, partition walls, and other areas.
