Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a shower unit in which a plurality of shower units can be connected by forming an outer wall into a box having a planar regular polygonal column shape.

<Prior art> As shown in FIG. 9, the structure of a conventional shower unit is such that a shower head 9 communicating with a water supply faucet 10 (or a hot water supply faucet) is provided in a shower box 1a equipped with an entrance/exit door 3a on one side. There are various planar shapes as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13.

FIG. 10 is a plan view of a rectangular box 1a similar to FIG. 9, in which a door ₃₁ is rotatably mounted on the side of the box 1a, and a drain hole is bored in the floor surface.

Fig. 11 is a plan view of a box 1b having a pentagonal shape with a bifold door 3a provided on the oblique side, and Fig. 12 is a plan view of a fan-shaped box 1c with a sliding door 3b sliding on the curved wall. It is set up so that you can move freely.

Next, FIG. 13 is a plan view of a cylindrical box 1d, in which a sliding door 3b is partially provided and a drain port is formed in the center of the floor surface.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Therefore, all of the above figures 9 to 13 are designed to be installed in a corner of a room as a simple shower room in a second-story or higher-level residence. There are leisure facilities, sports facilities, student dormitories,
Due to its shape, it is inappropriate for installation in places where many people use the shower facility at the same time, such as in employee facilities or coin-operated shower facilities.

Therefore, the present invention deals with the drawbacks of the above conventional example, and
The object is to easily connect and construct a large number of shower boxes using a small number of parts.

<Means for solving the problem> A plurality of side wall panels whose front and back sides are treated to be the same in terms of material and shape, and connecting members having connecting surfaces in two or three directions to connect the panels to each other. By selecting the connecting member, regular hexagonal columnar or regular octagonal columnar shower boxes can be arranged in a star shape or in series.

<Function> By processing the side wall panels constituting the shower box in the same manner on both sides, when the boxes are arranged in a connected manner, they can be commonly used as partition walls for adjacent boxes, and depending on the number of mounting surfaces of the connecting members, they can be formed into star-shaped or Series arrangement is possible.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to an example shown in the drawings. In FIG _{. 1} , as shown in FIG. The side wall panels 2 ₁ , 2 _{2 .} . . are formed by filling with a heat insulating material or a sound insulating material 5 or the like.

Then, a connecting member 7 ₁ having a trapezoidal cross section having an inclination of 60°, for example, is interposed between adjacent end faces of both panels 2 1 and 2 ₂ , and screws 8 and 8 are used _to connect the panels 2 ₁ and 2 ₁ to each other, respectively.
Both panels are connected by screwing into the insert nuts 6 on the end faces to form a hexagonal columnar (horizontal section) shower box ₁₁ , and one side of the hexagonal columnar box is used as an entrance and exit into the box. A door ₃₁ is pivoted to open and close freely, and a shower head 9 is attached to one of the inner walls to form a shower unit.

Further, as shown in Fig. 3, a prismatic connecting member ₇₂ having mounting surfaces in three directions at an angle of 120° is used,
Each box 1 ₁ , 1 ₁ ... with an opening of 120° respectively.
By making the two sides common by the side wall panels 2 ₁ ′, 2 ₁ ′, 2 ₁ ′, each box 1 ₁ , 1 ₁ , 1 ₁ can be arranged in a star shape as shown in Figure 4a. .

Furthermore, each box _{1 1 ,}
1 ₁ ... can be arranged in series as shown in FIG. 4b by making only one side common to the side wall panel 2 ₁ ' and connecting them one after another.

Next, a heat insulating material or a sound insulating material 5 is foamed and filled between the outer panel 4 ₂ and the inner panel 4 ₂ ′, which have the same surface treatment as shown in FIG. 6 as in FIG.
₂ , 2 ₂ . . . and _the side wall panels _{2 2 , 2 2} . By sequentially connecting them, a regular octagonal prism-shaped shower box 1 ₂ can be formed as shown in Fig. 5.
A door 32 is pivotally installed on either two sides of the box ₁₂ as an entrance to the inside of the box ₁₂ .

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, each box ₁₂ ,
By making the two sides of 1 ₂ common through side wall panels 2 ₂ ′ and 2 ₂ ′, a star-shaped _arrangement can be made as shown in FIG _. , 1 ₂ . . . by sharing only one side with the side wall panel 2 ₂ ', it is possible to arrange them in series as shown in FIG. 7b.

It should be noted that each of the hexagonal column-shaped connecting members mentioned above does not need to be a hollow body as shown in the illustration, but may be a solid body, and the mounting screws should be positioned within or outside the same plane. This allows for easy installation.

The shower unit of the present invention can be arranged in a star shape or in a plurality of units in series by making one or two sides of the shower box common to the panel portion as described above.

<Effects of the invention> The invention is as described above, and since the side wall panel has no distinction between the front and back, it is the same no matter which side is used, so when shower boxes are placed next to each other, the partition wall can be used in common. It becomes possible.

Furthermore, by using connecting members having mounting surfaces in two or three directions, a star-shaped arrangement or a series arrangement is possible, and a large number of plan variations can be easily obtained with a small number of members.

Insulating and soundproofing materials are used inside to keep the heat in. Also, the shower can be used at a low noise level, and the star-shaped arrangement allows men and women to use the shower at the same time without interfering with each other because the entrances and exits are different. Usable.

If water supply, hot water supply, drainage, lighting, etc. are required, it is also possible to centrally wire the shower box, including piping, in advance to form a unit. Furthermore, since the side wall panels are flat and all have the same dimensions, mass production is easy, and since there is no direction during assembly, there is no misidentification and good workability.It has many excellent effects and has high practical value. It is an idea.
