Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a container for storage and transportation, and more particularly to a container suitable for storing a shower room unit and the like.

Background Art

[0002] A shower room unit disclosed in the following Patent Document 1 was devised. This shower room unit can be compactly packed and is easy to transport, and can be easily assembled and installed. Moreover, since the shower room is surrounded by panels, it can be used comfortably. The panels and the like constituting the shower room space and the shower device for bathing are detachable, and when packing the constituent members in the disassembled state, other members in a reduced size are packed between the bottom member constituting the lower end of the shower room unit and the ceiling member constituting the upper end. That is, it is possible to make the height lower by bringing them closer to each other in the vertical direction than in the state where the bottom member and the ceiling member are assembled, and it is also possible to stack them in the packed state.

[0003] This shower room unit is preferably installed and used in condominiums, company housing, hospitals, event venues, etc., including disaster areas.

[0004] A shower room unit that can also provide a dressing room in addition to the shower room was also devised (see Patent Document 2 below). This is provided with a packing frame surrounding the shower room unit at the time of packing, and the dressing room is constituted by this packing frame.

[0005] Thus, a shower room unit that can be transported to a necessary place and used comfortably has been provided.

[0006] When storing a shower room unit for disaster preparedness or for product management, it is conceivable to store the packed shower room unit in a container in consideration of transportation, but even if it is simply stored, the container in that case is just a box.

[0007] To make effective use of the containers used for transportation, it is conceivable to install assembled shower room units inside the containers and use the area near the shower room units within the containers as a changing room.

[0008] However, there are size limitations on the containers used for transport. The width of a rectangular container is limited to 2.5 meters, the length to 12 meters, and the height to 3.8 meters. The height and length pose no problem in storing the assembled shower room unit. However, the width of the shower room unit as viewed from the front with the entrance is slightly less than 1 meter in outer dimensions for a single-room type used by one person, but it becomes nearly 2 meters for a two-room type with two shower rooms side by side, as described in Patent Document 1. When attempting to construct a shower room unit that can be used while remaining in a wheelchair, a diameter of 1.5 meters is required for the wheelchair user to turn around, so the outer dimensions of the shower room unit will exceed 2 meters. The inner depth of the shower room is about 1.4 meters for a single-room type, but as mentioned above, a diameter of 1.5 meters is required in inner dimensions to accommodate wheelchair use. For this reason, when trying to efficiently arrange multiple shower room units inside a container, the orientation of the shower room units must be such that the front with the entrance is aligned along the longer side of the rectangular container in plan view.

[0009] This means that a shower room unit with an internal depth exceeding 1.5 meters will fit inside a container with an external dimension of 2.5 meters or less, leaving little space in front of the shower room unit's entrance. As a result, this space may be insufficient for use as a changing room, and may even be inaccessible to wheelchair users. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3200577 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 7148982 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0011] The main objective of this invention is to efficiently utilize containers, which can be stored, kept, and transported, as buildings that use shower room units. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] The container configuration to achieve that task is as follows:

[0013] In other words, the container has an internal space large enough to accommodate the assembled shower room unit in an upright position, and an opening on the side large enough to allow the shower room unit to be moved in and out in an upright position. A door is provided that is pivotally attached to the lower end of the opening and opens outward and downward so that its inner surface becomes a support surface for the shower room unit.

[0014] In this configuration, when attempting to secure space for undressing, etc., on the front side of the assembled shower room unit, the door is opened to create an opening, and the door is held horizontally. This allows the support surface, which is the inner surface of the opened door, to move the assembled shower room unit backward, expanding the space on the front side. At this time, the shower room unit itself becomes a wall that fills the opening of the container, shielding the expanded space from the outside. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to this invention, the shower room unit can be retracted outside the container, allowing the space in front of the shower room unit to be expanded as needed and used as a changing room or for other purposes. Moreover, even if a portion of the shower room unit is moved outside the container through the opening as the space is expanded, the shower room unit can still shield the internal space. This enables a comfortable shower experience.

[0016] Moreover, not limited to the single-person shower room unit, a wide type of shower room unit can also be efficiently arranged, and a configuration can be adopted in which multiple shower room units can be used in one container.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] One embodiment for carrying out this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0019] <00001U8>As shown in Figure 1, the container 11 of this invention can store an assembled shower room unit 81 in a usable upright position, and the shower room unit 81 can be moved back as needed to expand the space in front of the shower room unit 81. In other words, the container 11 has a space inside large enough to accommodate the assembled shower room unit 81 in a usable upright position, and has openings 12 and 13 on the sides large enough to allow the shower room unit 81 to be moved in and out while in its upright position. A door body 15 is pivotally attached to the lower end of the openings 12 and 13, and opens outward and downward so that its inner surface becomes the support surface 14 for the shower room unit 81. The expanded space can be used for changing clothes, wheelchair access, resting, etc.

[0020] Container 11 is a rectangular prism and, in plan view, a rectangle. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of its rear, seen from diagonally above, and Figure 3 shows a front view. Of the four sides surrounding the container, the width W of the sides forming the shorter sides is 2.5 meters or less, the length L of the sides forming the longer sides is 12 meters or less, and the height H is 3.8 meters or less. For ease of movement and installation, the width W is preferably around 2 meters.

[0021] Here, we will briefly explain the shower room unit 81 that is stored in container 11.

[0022] The shower room unit 81, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 listed in the background art section, consists of panels that constitute the shower room space and a shower device that provides hot water, and these components can be assembled and disassembled (see Figure 4). The panels include a bottom member 82 that constitutes the lower end of the shower room unit 81, a ceiling member 83 that constitutes the upper end, and components that make up side plates 84 and a door 85. The unit is assembled by sandwiching the unfolded side plates 84, etc., between the bottom member 82 and the ceiling member 83. The shower device is fixed to the corner on the back side of the shower room and introduces hot water from the outside and discharges it from the shower head. A drain box for connecting a drain pipe is provided at the corner on the underside of the bottom member 82 where the shower device is located. The bottom member 82 also has casters 86 on its underside.

[0023] The assembled shower room unit 81 is rectangular in shape, with an external height H1 of approximately 2.2 meters. When the disassembled shower room unit 81 is packed by reducing the size of the retractable components and sandwiching them between the bottom component 82 and the ceiling component 83, its height H2 becomes approximately 70 centimeters. The shape and size in plan view are the same in both the assembled and packed states. The packed shower room unit 81 can be stacked in a rod-like fashion.

[0024] These shower room units 81 can be broadly divided into single-person and multi-purpose types, as shown in the plan view in Figure 5. Although both have a single internal space, the dimensions of the widths W1 and W2 differ, with the side containing the entrance door 85 being considered the front. The single-person shower room unit 81a shown in Figure 5(a) has an external width W1 of slightly less than 1 meter, while the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b has an external width W2 of slightly more than 2 meters. The depth D is slightly more than 1.5 meters for the single-person unit and the same or larger for the multi-purpose unit. A depth greater than 1.5 meters is used to accommodate use with assistive devices such as wheelchairs.

[0025] Let me add the following regarding the widths W1 and W2 mentioned above. Since the width W of the side forming the shorter side of container 11 (see Figure 2) is 2.5 meters or less, the width W1 of the single-person shower room unit 81a is short in comparison to the width W of container 11, while the width W2 of the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b is long. As mentioned above, if the width W of container 11 is about 2 meters, the width W1 of the single-person shower room unit 81a will fit comfortably inside, but in the case of the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b, there will be little to no room, or it will not fit at all. If we consider the maximum width that can form an opening on the side forming the shorter side of container 11 as the internal width W, and compare it to that internal width, there is a high probability that the width W2 of the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b will exceed the internal width W.

[0026] Figure 6 shows the internal layout structure of a container 11 that stores such a shower room unit 81 in both its packaged and assembled state. In Figure 6, the sides forming the long sides extend to the front and back, and the sides forming the short sides extend to the left and right. Of the sides forming the long sides, the front side is the front 11a of the container 11, and the opposite side is the back 11b. Of the sides forming the short sides, the left side in Figure 6 is called the left side 11c, and the right side is called the right side 11d. When the container 11 is used as a building with the shower room unit 81 built inside, the back 11b will face the backyard.

[0027] Container 11 has multiple rooms along its long sides, namely the front 11a and rear 11b. Starting from the left side, these are the three rooms: the machine room 16, the small storage space 17, and the large storage space 18.

[0028] The machine room 16 is a room that can house a boiler (not shown) and other necessary components, and has an opening / closing door 21 on its left side 11c for entry and exit. An opening / closing door 23 is also formed in the partition 22 between the machine room 16 and the small storage space 17, closer to the front. This opening / closing door 23 is mainly opened when the floor of the small storage space 17 is reduced, but it can be omitted.

[0029] The small storage space 17 is a space for accommodating a single-person shower room unit 81a. The length along the longer side, i.e., the width W3, is set to be slightly longer than the width W1 of the single-person shower room unit 81a (see Figure 5). The length along the shorter side, i.e., the length D1 in the depth direction when viewed from the front, is longer than the depth D of the single-person shower room unit 81a (see Figure 5).

[0030] The large storage space 18 is the space that accommodates the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b. The length along the longer side, i.e., W4, is set to be slightly longer than the width W2 (see Figure 5) of the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b. The length along the shorter side, i.e., the length D1 in the depth direction when viewed from the front, is longer than the depth D (see Figure 5) of the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b and is the same as the depth D1 of the small storage space 17. The large storage space 18 has a larger floor area than the adjacent small storage space 17.

[0031] The difference between the depth D1 of the small storage space 17 and the large storage space 18 and the depth D of the shower room unit 81 should be approximately 40 to 50 centimeters. This is because, although it is narrow, it allows one person to enter and get dressed or undressed and to work on the floor.

[0032] Each of these storage spaces 17, 18, that is, the small storage space 17 and the large storage space 18, has a long side and a straight side. Exchange The aforementioned openings 12 and 13 are provided on one side in the direction of the opening, i.e., the back, and entrance doors 25 and 26 are provided on the other side, i.e., the front.

[0033] The rear openings 12 and 13 are provided with the aforementioned door body 15, which opens and closes the openings 12 and 13, and an upper door 27, which together with the door body 15 forms the side. The door body 15 is pivotally attached to the lower end of the openings 12 and 13 and opens outward and downward, while the upper door 27 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the openings 12 and 13 and opens outward and upward. Both the door body 15 and the upper door 27 are attached via hinges 28 mounted on the rear. Because the hinges 28 are on the rear, when the upper door 27 is free and the constraint that closes it is released, it will hang down due to its own weight. When the door body 15 is opened 90 degrees outward and downward, its inner surface becomes horizontal. At this time, the door body 15 is pivotally attached so that this horizontal surface, that is, the aforementioned support surface 14, is flush with the floor surface 29 (see Figure 7) of the storage spaces 17 and 18.

[0034] The support surface 14 is equipped with a guide rail 14a for guiding the casters 86 of the shower room unit 81 and a stopper 14b for positioning.

[0035] As shown in Figure 7, the free ends of the door body 15 and the upper door 27 are in contact with each other, and a stopper 15a is provided protruding from the free end of the door body 15 to receive the free end of the upper door 27. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, a fastener 31 is provided on the back to hold the door body 15 and the upper door 27 in the closed state. Figure 8 shows only the fastener 31 for closing the upper door 27, but in addition to the latch shown, the fastener 31 can also be a corner latch, a P latch, etc., and furthermore, a device such as a bolt may be used instead of a fastener.

[0036] The length of the door body 15 and the upper door 27 in the vertical direction is determined with respect to the desired length of the door body 15. The desired length is the length required to move the shower room unit 81, which is housed in the accommodation spaces 17 and 18, back by the necessary amount.

[0037] The openings 12 and 13 of the small storage space 17 and the large storage space 18 are formed over approximately the entire width of the space. Therefore, the widths of the openings 12 and 13 of each storage space 17 and 18 are close to the aforementioned widths W3 and W4. Of these openings 12 and 13, the width of the opening 13 of the large storage space 18 is greater than or equal to the inner dimensions W5 (see Figure 6) of the side that constitutes the short side of the container 11, i.e., the left side 11c or the right side 11d. Here, "inner dimensions of the left side or the right side" refers to the length of the maximum range over which an opening can be formed on the left side 11c or the right side 11d. In other words, since the width of the opening 13 of the large storage space 18 is greater than or equal to the inner dimensions W5 of the left side 11c or the right side 11d, the multi-purpose shower room unit 81b that fits snugly into the large storage space 18 cannot be stored with its front, which has an entrance / exit, parallel to the left side 11c or the right side 11d.

[0038] Furthermore, it is preferable that gap-filling members (not shown) made of rubber, sponge, or the like are provided inside the openings 12 and 13 to fill the small gap between them and the shower room unit 81, and to provide a buffer function when the shower room unit 81 is retracted.

[0039] Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a buffering member (not shown) on at least one of the inner surface of the upper door 27 and the top surface of the shower room unit 81. Examples of such members include sheets made of a slippery material such as fluororesin, or rotating rollers.

[0040] Unlike the openings 12 and 13, the front entrance doors 25 and 26 are set to a size that allows a person to enter and exit, regardless of the size of the shower room unit 81.

[0041] On the right side 11d, which is the shorter side of the large storage space 18, an entrance 35 is provided, separate from the entrance door 26 mentioned above. The entrance 35 is positioned towards the front and is set to a width of 90 centimeters or more, allowing wheelchair access, as shown in Figure 9. Reference numeral 36 in Figure 9 indicates a ramp. The door 37 attached to the entrance 35 is preferably a sliding door rather than a hinged door.

[0042] Within each of the storage spaces 17 and 18, a floor surface 41 is formed that is flush or nearly flush with the lower end of the entrance doors 25 and 26 and the entrance 35 (see Figure 7). This floor surface 41 is higher than the ground floor surface 29 by the height from the lower end of the shower room unit 81 to the entrance to the shower room. Also, the length of the floor surface 41 in the depth direction is approximately the same as the difference between the depth D1 of the storage spaces 17 and 18 and the depth D of the shower room unit 81. For this reason, when the door body 15 is opened and the shower room unit 81 is moved back onto the support surface 14, the ground floor surface 29 is widely exposed, so a floor surface member 42 for eliminating the step is provided to be placed on the ground floor surface 29 in front of the shower room unit 81.

[0043] The floor member 42 is made of a board of the required area and is pivotally attached to the edge of the floor surface 41 so as to be able to be raised and lowered. A floor support 42a is provided on the underside of the floor member 42, and supports the floor member 42, which has been extended by lowering it from its upright position, to a predetermined height, making the surface of the floor member 42 horizontal. The surface formed by this floor member 42 and the floor surface 41 will be referred to below as the "extended floor surface".

[0044] The floor member 42 is not pivotally attached to the floor 41, but may be made of a separate member, such as a bench. In other words, an extended floor surface is formed by laying floor members with a bench-like structure on the earthen floor 29. If the floor member is equipped with foldable legs, it can be compactly stored on the floor 41 or in the machine room 16.

[0045] The size of the extended floor area is set to accommodate a circle with a diameter of at least 1.5 meters, as shown in Figure 9, allowing a wheelchair user to turn around. In the large accommodation space 18, the aforementioned amount is set to move the shower room unit 81 back in order to secure this size. In the small accommodation space 17, it is sufficient to secure the area necessary for putting on and taking off clothes, etc.

[0046] In addition to the above configuration, the container 11 is fitted with a suspension fitting 51, such as an eye bolt, to enable suspension during movement as shown in Figure 2. The suspension fitting 51 may be attached to the upper corners of the front 11a and rear 11b.

[0047] Furthermore, a support base 52, as shown in Figure 7, is provided to hold the open door 15 horizontally. The support base 52 can be made of, for example, a square timber. The lower part of the support base 52 may be equipped with an adjustable bolt 52a that allows the supporting height to be changed according to the site.

[0048] Furthermore, since the container 11 is also used as a building, a roof-like exterior panel 53 is provided on the top surface.

[0049] The container 11 configured as described above is used as a box for housing the shower room unit 81 in its packaged state, and as a building for housing the assembled shower room unit 81 in a usable manner.

[0050] For storage purposes, such as stockpiling and product management, the shower room units 81, which have been packaged to reduce their bulk, are stacked in the storage spaces 17 and 18 as shown in Figure 10.

[0051] When using the building, the shower room unit 81 stored inside is removed, the shower room unit 81 to be used is assembled, and then stored through the openings 12 and 13 as shown in Figure 11.

[0052] When using the shower room unit 81, the door body 15 is opened and supported by the support base 52 to make it horizontal, as shown in Figure 12. Because it is equipped with an upper door 27, the height of the free end of the door body 15 can be kept low, so the door body 15 can be easily opened and closed without using a stepladder or anything similar. Also, since a space is created between the floor surface 29 and the support surface 14, this space should be filled with a filler member 55 made of a separate piece of lumber or the like. After that, the shower room unit 81 is moved back to the predetermined position. When the shower room unit 81 is moved back, the openings 12 and 13 on the back surface 11b are opened, but the shower room unit 81 itself becomes a wall that fills the openings 12 and 13 of the container 11, shielding the storage spaces 17 and 18 from the outside. At this time, the upper door 27 touches the top surface of the shower room unit 81 by its own weight and functions like a roof.

[0053] After the shower room unit 81 is moved back, the floor member 42 is lowered and unfolded to form an extended floor surface. When retracting the extended floor surface, that is, when raising the floor member 42, it is best to enter through the opening / closing door 23 or the entrance / exit 35. The floor member 42 can be equipped with ropes or dampers to facilitate raising.

[0054] Container 11, which can be used as both a box and a building, employs a configuration in which the shower room unit 81 is set back outside the container 11 to form an extended floor area, thus creating a large, shielded space inside the container 11. This contributes to comfortable shower use. Moreover, the extended floor area can be made large enough to be used by wheelchair users, even within the size limitations of the container 11, making it comfortable for everyone to use. As a result, it helps to alleviate the plight of disaster victims, especially in disaster-stricken areas.

[0055] Furthermore, the extended floor surface is constructed by unfolding the provided floor member 42, which eliminates any steps inside the container 11, thus ensuring comfortable use in this respect as well.

[0056] Regarding the arrangement of storage spaces within the container 11, small storage spaces 17 and large storage spaces 18 are provided along the front 11a and rear 11b, with rear 11b openings 12 and 13 provided for each of these storage spaces 17 and 18, and entrance doors 25 and 26 provided on the front 11a. Therefore, even with the large storage space 18, the limited space within the container 11 can be used effectively.

[0057] In particular, the large storage space 18 is formed at the longitudinal end, and an entrance 35 is provided on the right side 11d, which is the side of that end, allowing wheelchair users to easily enter and exit, and also facilitating the reduction of the floor member 42.

[0058] The above configuration is one embodiment for carrying out this invention, and this invention is not limited to the above configuration; other configurations can also be adopted.

[0059] Figures 13 and 14 show schematic diagrams of the internal layout structure of container 11. In the figures, the solid dashed line indicates the door 15 that opens outwards and downwards. Figure 13(a) corresponds to Figure 6, which shows the layout structure of container 11 described above, while the other figures show layout structures of other examples.

[0060] Figure 13(b) shows the same room layout within the container 11 as in (a), but omits the opening 12 and floor member 42 of the small storage space 17. In other words, the shower room unit 81a cannot be moved back. The floor surface 41 of the small storage space 17 is large enough for a healthy person to undress, so there is no problem with its use.

[0061] Figure 13(c) shows a configuration with two large storage spaces 18 placed side by side. The large storage space 18 located in the longitudinal middle position adjacent to the machine room 16 has a two-room type shower room unit 81c, which is divided into two rooms inside, rather than a single-room type multipurpose shower room unit 81b. The arrangement of entrance doors 25, 26, etc. is the same as in (a).

[0062] Figure 14(d) shows two small storage spaces 17 and one large storage space 18 arranged side by side. Each of the two storage spaces accommodates a single-person shower room unit 81a. By separating these for use by women and men, more comfortable use is possible.

[0063] Figure 14(e) shows a configuration in which the machine room 16 is located in the middle of the longitudinal direction, with small storage spaces 17 and large storage spaces 18 arranged sequentially on either side of the machine room 16. In other words, the two sets of small storage spaces 17 and large storage spaces 18 are arranged in a mirror image with the machine room 16 as the axis. In this case as well, the arrangement of entrance doors 25, 26, etc. is the same as in (a). By providing two sets of small storage spaces 17 and large storage spaces 18 on either side of the machine room 16 in this way, the distinction between women's and men's facilities can be made more strictly, thus improving comfort.

[0064] In addition, for example, the upper door 27 may be omitted. In this case, it is preferable to provide a foldable support leg, equivalent to the support base 52 mentioned above, at the free end of the door body 15.

[0065] Furthermore, the machine room 16 may be omitted, and another room of a suitable purpose may be provided in its place. [Explanation of Symbols]
