Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a sauna-equipped unit in which a shower room or a bathroom and a sauna room are arranged adjacent to each other and their respective entrances and exits are connected by communication.
Background Art
[0002] A sauna is a hot bath method in which a person enters an indoor sauna room heated to a high temperature by far-infrared rays, steam, etc., warms the body and sweats. By sweating thoroughly, one can feel refreshed and rejuvenated both physically and mentally, so it has been a popular facility since ancient times. In recent years, there has been a big boom in saunas, which is also one of the pleasures when going to hot springs or public baths, and the number of facilities specialized for saunas has been increasing. Also, in recent years, perhaps due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities with private saunas and the installation of saunas at home have also become popular.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a sauna-equipped unit in which a bathroom having a shower or a bathtub and a sauna room equipped with sauna facilities and separated from the bathroom are connected.
[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a water-related facility unit connector sash that connects two water-related facility units each having an entrance and exit provided in a wall portion by communicating and connecting their respective entrances and exits, and includes a support portion that guides and supports a sliding door that opens and closes each of the entrances and exits.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007] When considering a sauna room installed at home, an indoor stationary type is considered to be reasonable in terms of cost and installation work. However, the stationary type gives the impression of placing a small house in the room, and the design is not good. In addition, since a stationary sauna room cannot be directly connected to a shower room or a bathroom, there is a problem that when repeatedly moving between the sauna room and the shower room, and between the sauna room and the bathtub, water drips onto the installation location such as the floor of the dressing room where the stationary sauna room is installed, soiling the floor surface.
[0008] In the structure described in Patent Document 1, since the passage between the bathroom and the sauna room is easy, there is no concern about water dripping. However, since there is only one partition wall, it is necessary to use different materials for both sides of the partition wall, which is a problem that the production is very difficult. In addition, in addition to being a dedicated part, both sides of the partition wall become design surfaces, and there is also a problem that attention is required for curing, packaging specifications, and handling.
[0009] In the structure described in Patent Document 2, although each unit is independent, there is a problem that since the flange portion fitted into the peripheral portion of the entrance and exit has a drain integral structure with a U-shaped cross section, the lower frame of the door to be used becomes special. Along with this, a new design is required, and there is also a problem of new investment. In addition, since each unit is installed on independent legs, there is also a problem that it takes time to adjust the horizontal extension and the interval between two rooms, etc.
[0010] In the structure described in Patent Document 3, a bathtub pedestal is provided and height adjustment work is easy, but the pitch of the bathtub pedestal is narrow in order to match the bottom of the bathtub. For this reason, when the bathtub is not adjacent to the washbasin pan but another floor pan, when getting on the edge of the floor pan, the opposite side floats, and there is a problem that work such as building in the wall is not easy.
[0011] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a sauna-equipped unit that is easy to install in a house, has no water dripping problem even when repeatedly moving between a sauna and a shower, a sauna and a hot spring bath, and has few dedicated parts.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0012] As means for solving the above-described problems, the present invention has the following configuration. (1) The sauna-equipped unit according to the present invention is a sauna-equipped unit in which a shower room or a bathroom and a sauna room are arranged adjacent to each other and the respective entrances are connected by communication, The sauna floor of the sauna room is supported by at least two frame members, and the frame members are attached based on a pedestal fastening member attached to the shower floor of the shower room or the bathroom floor, and a plurality of floor support legs provided on the shower floor of the shower room or the bathroom floor of the bathroom, and a plurality of sauna floor support legs provided on the frame members, and each support leg is individually height-adjustable. (2) In the sauna-equipped unit according to the present invention, between the wall of the shower room or the wall of the bathroom and the wall of the sauna room, and around the entrance, a wall opening formed is covered with a door connection frame assembled in four directions with an L-shaped frame, and a sauna door frame is preferably attached to the entrance through the door connection frame.
[0013] (3) In the sauna-equipped unit according to (1) or (2) of the present invention, the shower floor or the bathroom floor and the sauna floor are connected by butting their respective ends against each other, and it is preferable to provide a fall-preventing device connected to both ends between the end of the sauna floor and the end of the shower floor. (4) In the sauna-equipped unit according to (1) or (2) of the present invention, both the shower room or the bathroom and the sauna room are of a frame structure formed by attaching walls to wall frames, and in the wall frames constituting the shower room or the bathroom and the wall frames constituting the sauna room, it is preferable to have wall frame connectors connected to both wall frames between adjacent wall frames.
Advantages of the Invention
[0014] In the shower-equipped unit according to the present invention, since a plurality of support legs provided on the shower floor or the bathroom floor and a plurality of support legs provided on the sauna floor are all individually height-adjustable, it is easy to adjust the leveling during floor installation and the distance between the two rooms. Further, according to the present invention, there are few dedicated parts and it can be installed even as a single sauna room. Of course, it is also possible to connect to an already installed shower room or bathroom. The shower-equipped unit according to the present invention can be assembled in the same working process as the conventional bathroom installation, and the workability is good. Even if the load concentrates on the corner of the floor on the sauna room side during work, the opposite side does not float, and the risk of tipping can be suppressed. The shower-equipped unit according to the present invention requires few dedicated items and can suppress mold and equipment investment. In the conventional sauna unit with a shower, there was no unity in the floor, but in the present invention, by adopting the floor for the shower room also for the sauna room, the floor pattern and color scheme can be matched, improving the design quality. The shower-equipped unit according to the present invention has the feature that the sauna room, the shower room, or the bathroom is independent and can be installed separately, making it easy to accommodate renovations.

A sauna door is attached to the inside of the sauna door frame 805 so as to be openable and closable, but the description of the sauna door is omitted in the drawings.
[0017] The shower floor 201 has a shower floor surface portion 209 having lattice-shaped reinforcing ribs when viewed from the back side (lower surface side). In addition, it has shower floor side surface portions 202 that rise upward from four peripheral portions of the shower floor surface portion 209. The shower floor side surface portions 202 are erected perpendicular to the reference plane M of the shower floor 201 shown in FIG. 2. Shower floor ribs 204 (see FIGS. 3, 4, etc.) that extend in a direction perpendicular to both the shower floor side surface portions 202 and the reference plane M are formed at predetermined intervals. The structure of the shower floor 201 described above is the same as that of the washbasin pan used in a normal bathroom, and a bathroom washbasin pan can be used for the shower floor 201.
[0018] As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, etc., gantry fastening members 301 are attached to both the left and right sides of the shower floor 201. In the shower floor 201, a shower floor embankment 208 that rises perpendicular to the reference plane M is formed on one side on the sauna room 102 side, leaving a shower floor extension portion 207 that is horizontal with respect to the reference plane M shown in FIG. 2. In addition, a plurality of shower floor support legs 205 with adjustable height are attached to the shower floor surface portion 209 at predetermined intervals. The shower floor support legs 205 have a structure in which a screw shaft is screwed into the inside of an internally threaded cylinder, and the length can be adjusted by adjusting the screwing state of the screw shaft. As an example, by rotating a nut portion 205a attached to the lower end of the screw shaft, the position of the screw shaft with respect to the internally threaded cylinder is adjusted, and the length of the shower floor support legs 205 can be adjusted freely.
[0019] The sauna floor 210 has a sauna floor surface portion 212 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, etc., which has lattice-shaped reinforcing ribs when viewed from the back side (lower surface side). Also, it has sauna floor side surface portions 211 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, etc., which rise upward from the four peripheral portions of the sauna floor surface portion 212. The sauna floor side surface portions 211 are erected perpendicular to the reference plane M of the sauna floor 210. In the sauna floor 210, one side opposite to the shower room 101 side has a sauna floor levee 213 that rises perpendicular to the reference plane M.
[0020] In the sauna floor 210, sauna floor grooves 214 for mounting a sauna door frame 805 described later are formed on three sides excluding the sauna floor levee 213. The structure of the sauna floor 210 described above is the same as that of the washbasin pan used in a normal bathroom, and the washbasin pan of the bathroom can be applied to the sauna floor 210. Also, intermediate support legs 501 described later are attached to the sauna floor surface portion 212.
[0021] The pedestal 401 for supporting the sauna floor 210 is composed of a pair of frame members 405 arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. 5 and a beam member 402 passed between the frame members 405. The frame member 405 is in the shape of a square tube, and sauna floor support legs 403 with adjustable height are attached near both ends of the frame member 405. The installation position of the frame member 405 is set to a position corresponding to the installation position of the pedestal fastening member 301 provided on the shower floor 201 as shown in FIG. 5. The sauna floor support leg 403 has a structure in which a screw shaft is screwed into the inside of a cylindrical internal screw cylinder, and the length can be adjusted by adjusting the screwing state of the screw shaft. As an example, by rotating a nut portion 403a attached to the lower end of the screw shaft, the position of the screw shaft with respect to the internal screw cylinder is adjusted, and the length of the sauna floor support leg 403 can be adjusted freely. Also, fixing bolts 404 are attached to the upper surface of one end portion of the frame member 405. The fixing bolt 404 has a head 406 and a threaded shaft portion 407 as shown in FIG. 10, and is attached near the end of the frame member 405 so that a gap is formed between the head 406 and the upper surface of the frame member 405.
[0022] As shown in FIG. 6, the pedestal fastening member 301 is composed of an elongated plate-shaped base portion 302, a floor fixing portion 303 formed on one end side of the base portion 302, a frame holding portion 304 formed on the lower end side of the base portion 302, and reinforcing ribs 305 having a substantially triangular shape in side view provided on both sides in the width direction of the base portion 302. In FIG. 6, since the base portion 302 is horizontal and one end side thereof is directed toward the shower floor 201 side, the floor fixing portion 303 faces the shower floor extension portion 207 side, and the frame holding portion 304 protrudes downward from the base portion 302.
[0023] The floor fixing portion 303 is erected on one end side of the base portion 302 so as to rise from one end, has a notch groove 306 formed at the upper center of the floor fixing portion 303, and has screw holes 307 drilled in the floor fixing portion 303 located on both sides of the notch groove 306. The width of the notch groove 306 is such that the shower floor rib 204 formed on the shower floor 201 can be inserted therethrough. Further, a contact portion 314 is formed at a predetermined height position from the base portion 302 on the surface of the floor fixing portion 303 on the shower floor 201 side. As shown in FIG. 10, this contact portion 314 is adapted to abut against the lower edge of the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201 when the shower floor rib 204 is inserted into the notch groove 306 and the floor fixing portion 303 is abutted against the shower floor side surface portion 202.
[0024] The frame holding portion 304 has a lower surface receiving portion 308 that receives the end surface on the installation surface side of the frame member 405, that is, the lower surface of the frame member 405, an upper surface portion 309 that is disposed opposite to the lower surface receiving portion 308 with a predetermined interval therebetween and abuts against the upper surface of the frame member 405, and left and right side surface portions 310 and 311 that are connected to the lower surface receiving portion 308 and the upper surface portion 309 and abut against the left and right side surfaces of the frame member 405, respectively. The lower surface receiving portion 308 is provided substantially perpendicular to the plate surfaces of the left and right side surface portions 310 and 311. The upper surface portion 309 is formed longer than the lower receiving portion 308, and a guide groove 313 is formed at the free end of the upper surface portion 309. The width of the guide groove 313 is wider than the outer diameter of the threaded shaft portion 407 of the fixing bolt 404 described above, and narrower than the outer diameter of the head portion 406. And the reinforcing rib 305 is provided so as to connect the widthwise end of the base portion 302 and the widthwise end of the upper surface portion 309.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 8, the intermediate support leg 501 has a plate-like portion 502 and plate ribs 503 and 504 that extend perpendicularly to the plate-like portion 502 from the side surface of the plate-like portion 502. The intermediate support leg 501 has a cylindrical portion 505 in a direction opposite to the plate ribs 503 and 504. The shape of the cylindrical portion 505 is not limited as long as a later-described support leg fixing member 601 shown in FIGS. 2, 9, etc. can be fitted therein. It may be cylindrical, square cylindrical, or a member having a simple recess.
[0026] As shown in FIGS. 11, 15, etc., the fall prevention device 701 has an upright upper surface 708 that extends perpendicularly from the lower surface 705. Further, it has engaging portions 702, 703, 704 that extend perpendicularly to the upright upper surface 708 from the upper part of the upright upper surface 708, and is shaped to engage with the sauna floor groove 214 of the sauna floor 210. Also, a screw hole 707 is formed at the center of the engaging portion 702, and a screw hole 706 is formed at the center of the lower surface 705.
[0027] As shown in FIGS. 14, 15, the door connection frame 803 is formed in a frame shape with a cross-sectional L-shape that can be arranged outside the sauna door frame 805 so that the inner surface of the sauna door frame 805 can be covered with the frame mounting surface 804.
[0028] Next, the installation procedure of the above sauna-equipped unit 1 will be described. First, install the shower floor 201. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of shower floor support legs 205 are attached near the four corners of the floor surface portion of the shower floor 201 via support plates 206 to adjust the level of the shower floor 201. The upper end portions of the shower floor support legs 205 are fixed to the lower surface of the support plates 206, and the support plates 206 can be attached to predetermined positions on the bottom surface of the shower floor 201 by means such as screwing. Since the length of the shower floor support legs 205 can be adjusted by rotating 205a, level adjustment such as height position adjustment and horizontal position adjustment of the shower floor 201 can be performed.
[0029] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, attach the gantry fastening member 301 to the level-adjusted shower floor 201. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, insert the shower floor rib 204 formed on the shower floor side surface portion 202 on the bathtub gantry installation side of the shower floor 201 into the notch groove 306 of the gantry fastening member 301. Then, with the base portion 302 of the gantry fastening member 301 abutted against the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201, pull up the gantry fastening member 301 upward. When the lower end portion of the shower floor rib 204 abuts against the back of the notch groove 306 and the lower end of the shower floor surface portion 209 abuts against the abutting portion 314, in this state, drive screws 315 into the screw holes 307 and the lower holes 312 from the side of the gantry fastening member 301 to fix the gantry fastening member 301 to the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201.
[0030] Next, install the pedestal 401 on the sauna room side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, attach the sauna floor support legs 403 to both ends of the two frame members 405, and insert the end on the side where the fixing bolts 404 are attached into the frame holding portion 304 of the pedestal fastening member 301. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, insert the threaded shaft portion 407 of the fixing bolt 404 attached to the frame member 405 into the guide groove 313 of the frame holding portion 304. Then, when the threaded shaft portion 407 abuts against the back of the guide groove 313 and while pressing the end face on the installation surface side of the frame member 405 against the upper surface portion 309, tighten the fixing bolt 404 in that state to fasten the end of the frame member 405 to the pedestal fastening member 301. After that, adjust the lengths of the plurality of sauna floor support legs 403 of the frame member 405 to adjust the level of the frame member 405. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, span the beam member 402 between the frame members 405, 405 and fix the beam member 402 to the frame member 405 with screws or the like.
[0031] Next, attach the support leg fixing member 601 as shown in FIG. 9. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, fix the support leg fixing member 601 to the vicinity of both ends of the frame member 405 of the pedestal 401 with screws. The support leg fixing member 601 is preferably made of resin, which is a flexible and fixed member for fitting with the cylindrical portion 505 of the intermediate support leg 501.
[0032] Next, attach the intermediate support leg 501 to the sauna floor 210. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, attach the intermediate support leg 501 with screws or the like using the screw holes 506 shown in FIG. 8 near the four corners of the sauna floor surface portion 212 of the sauna floor 210.
[0033] Next, install the sauna floor 210 with the intermediate support leg 501 attached to the sauna floor support leg 403 whose height level has been adjusted, as shown in FIG. 9. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, fit the intermediate support leg 501 into the support leg fixing member 601. At that time, install it so that the shower floor bank 208 is on the side opposite to the sauna floor bank 213 of the shower floor 201.
[0034] Next, attach the fall prevention device 701. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, engage the sauna floor groove 214 of the sauna floor 210 with the engaging portions 702, 703, and 704 of the fall prevention device 701, and place the lower surface 705 of the fall prevention device 701 on the shower floor extension 207 of the shower floor 201. Screw the screw 709 into the sauna floor groove 214 with the screw hole 707 as a guide, and screw the screw 709 into the shower floor extension 207 with the screw hole 706 as a guide, thereby connecting the shower floor 201 and the sauna floor 210.
[0035] Next, to form the shower room 101 and the sauna room 102, raise the shower wall frame 902 and the sauna wall frame 903 as shown in FIG. 12. The height and the number of uses of the shower wall frame 902 and the sauna wall frame 903 vary depending on the size of the sauna-equipped unit. Also, attach the shower ceiling frame 904 to the shower wall frame 902, and attach the sauna ceiling frame 905 to the sauna wall frame 903. By attaching the shower wall frame 902 and the shower ceiling frame 904, a rectangular frame can be formed on the shower room side, and by attaching the sauna wall frame 903 and the sauna ceiling frame 905, a rectangular frame can be formed on the sauna room side.
[0036] Next, connect any one of the shower wall frames 902 and any one of the sauna wall frames 903 with the wall frame connector 901. The wall frame connector 901 is arranged between a plurality of wall frames 902 and 903. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, arrange the wall frame connector 901 so that it contacts at least two planes of the shower wall frame 902 and two planes of the sauna wall frame 903, and further, pass the screw 906 through any of the contacting surfaces and fix it with the screw 906. The wall frame connector 901 is an L-shaped metal fitting or a resin-made connector, and is arranged so as to bridge between the adjacent shower wall frame 902 and sauna wall frame 903. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, two wall frame connectors 901 are provided near the upper end of the adjacent portion of the shower wall frame 902 and the sauna wall frame 903. The wall frame connector 901 connects both wall frames 902 and 903.
[0037] Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the wall 801 and the ceiling 1001 that constitute the shower room 101 are installed, and the wall 808, the ceiling 1002, and the sauna door frame 805 that constitute the sauna room 102 are installed. Thus, the shower room 101 and the sauna room 102 with a frame structure can be assembled. Also, as shown in FIG. 15, the wall 801 of the shower room 101 opposite to the side where the sauna door frame 805 of the sauna room 102 is installed is drilled like a wall opening 802 according to the size of the door connection frame 803. The frame mounting surface 804 of the door connection frame 803 is fitted so as to enter between the wall opening 802 and the sauna door frame connection portion 806. After that, the sauna door frame 805 is connected to the door connection frame 803 by screws 807. Thereby, the wall opening formed around the entrance and exit between the wall 801 on the shower room 101 side and the wall 808 on the sauna room 102 side can be covered with the door connection frame 803 having an L-shaped cross section. And the sauna door frame 805 can be attached to the entrance and exit via the door connection frame 803.
[0038] As described in detail above, according to the sauna-equipped unit 1 of this embodiment, since the floor fixing portion 303 of the gantry fastening member 301 is formed at a substantially right angle to the plate surface of the base portion 302, when the gantry fastening member 301 is fixed to the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201, the upper surface portion 309 is arranged at a position separated from the shower floor surface portion 209 of the shower floor 201 by a predetermined distance and substantially parallel to the reference plane M of the shower floor 201. Therefore, by arranging the end portion of the frame member 405 in contact with the upper surface portion 309 of the gantry fastening member 301, it becomes very easy to adjust the level of the frame member 405, and the gantry fastening member 301 can be used as a substitute for the spacer to arrange the shower floor 201 and the gantry 401 at an accurate relative position.
[0039] Furthermore, since the pedestal fastening member 301 has a base portion 302 that is fixed in a state of abutting against the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201 and a notch groove 306 through which the shower floor rib 204 can be inserted, the pedestal fastening member 301 can be accurately attached to a predetermined position on the shower floor side surface portion 202 of the shower floor 201.
[0040] Also, the pedestal fastening member 301 has a guide groove 313. When the threaded shaft portion 407 of the fixing bolt 404 is inserted through this guide groove 313 and the fixing bolt 404 is tightened in a state where the threaded shaft portion 407 abuts against the back of the guide groove 313, the frame member 405 can be fixed to the frame holding portion 304. By doing so, the positioning of the frame member 405 with respect to the frame holding portion 304 can be performed accurately and reliably.
[0041] Furthermore, since the upper surface portion 309 of the frame holding portion 304 is formed longer than the depth of the lower surface receiving portion 308, when the frame member 405 is inserted into the frame holding portion 304, the upper surface portion 309 of the frame holding portion 304 can be used as a guide surface. Furthermore, since the fixing bolt 404 of the frame member 405 can be temporarily held in the guide groove 313 of the upper surface portion 309, the frame member 405 can be smoothly and reliably inserted into the frame holding portion 304.
[0042] Moreover, since it is configured to install the pedestal 401 after installing and leveling the shower floor 201, when installing the shower floor 201, a space for installing the pedestal 401 can be secured as a working space, and the installation work and leveling work of the shower floor 201 are easy. Also, when installing the pedestal 401, a space for installing the shower floor 201 on the sauna room 102 side can be secured as a working space, so the installation work and leveling work of the pedestal 401 can also be easily performed.
[0043] In addition, the pedestal 401 is composed of a frame member 405 and a beam member 402 spanning between the frame members 405, and at the construction site, the frame member 405 and the beam member 402 are assembled. Therefore, compared with a pedestal that is integrated by welding or the like, it is easier to carry into the construction site, and there are no problems such as a decrease in productivity due to welding work and variations in dimensional accuracy, and the installation work and the level adjustment work can be performed easily and accurately.
[0044] In addition, the pedestal fastening member 301 can be attached to any position of the shower floor ribs 204 of the shower floor 201, and the pedestal 401 is not restricted by the attachment position of the pedestal fastening member 301 and can be attached. Conversely, it can also be attached to a floor of a different size having floor ribs similar to the shower floor ribs 204. Since the intermediate support leg 501 is attached to any of the reinforcing ribs of the sauna floor surface portion 212, it can be similarly attached to a floor of a different size having the same-shaped reinforcing ribs. Therefore, by expanding the size variations of the shower floor 201 and the sauna floor 210, it becomes possible to expand the size variations of various shower rooms 101 and sauna rooms 102.
[0045] In addition, by providing the anti-tipping device 701, in order to connect the shower floor 201 and the sauna floor 210, even if there is a concentrated load near the outer periphery of the sauna floor 210, the inclination of the sauna floor 210 can be suppressed, and the constructor can work safely.
[0046] In addition, when assembling a unit that is usually independent in two rooms, in order to adjust vertically one room at a time with respect to the reference plane M, although one vertical can be removed, there may be concerns such as the other vertical not coming out, or the other vertical shifting while adjusting one vertical. On the other hand, by connecting the shower wall frame 902 and the sauna wall frame 903 with the wall frame connector 901, after installing the wall 801 of the shower room 101 and the wall 808 of the sauna room 102, it has the feature that the vertical adjustment of the two rooms together with respect to the reference plane M becomes easy.
[0047] "Second Embodiment" Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the sauna-equipped unit according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the sauna-equipped unit of the second embodiment, instead of the shower room 101 shown in FIG. 1, a bathroom (bathroom unit) 20 shown in FIG. 16 is adjacently arranged on the right side of the sauna room 102 shown in FIG. 1. The bathroom 20 shown in FIG. 16 has a configuration in which a bathroom floor 21 and a bathtub 22 are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right. By attaching a pedestal fastening member 301 to the bathroom floor 21, a unit-shaped bathroom 20 can be arranged instead of the shower room 101 shown in FIG. 1.
[0048] The bathroom floor 21 of the bathroom 20 can be leveled by providing bathroom floor support legs 23 having the same configuration as those provided in the shower room 101. In the bathroom 20, the surroundings are surrounded by a wall 25, and a ceiling (not shown) is provided above the wall 25. Bathtub support legs 26 are also provided below the bathtub 22. In the bathroom 20, in addition, a drain port 24 is formed in the bathroom floor 21, a bathtub apron 27 is provided between the bathtub 22 and the bathroom floor 21, and necessary facilities such as a mixing faucet 28, a shower hose 30, a shower head 31, and a counter 32 are provided on a part of the wall 25.
[0049] The sauna-equipped unit of the second embodiment can adopt a configuration in which the bathroom 20 shown in FIG. 16 is adjacently arranged on the right side of the sauna room 102 shown in FIG. 1. In the sauna-equipped unit shown in FIG. 16, the sauna room entrance / exit 102a and the bathroom entrance / exit 20a are connected so that they can communicate with each other and freely enter and exit between the sauna room 102 and the bathroom 20. Also in the sauna-equipped unit of the second embodiment, since the levels of the bathroom floor 21 and the sauna floor 210 can be adjusted individually, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained in relation to the bathroom 20 and the sauna room 102.
[0050] With the configurations according to the first and second embodiments described above, since there are few new dedicated parts, there is an effect that a sauna-equipped unit can be realized while suppressing capital investment.
