Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom counter for temporarily placing towels, accessories, and appliances used in a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional towel rack in a bathroom is installed at a height of about 1,200 mm from the floor on the assumption that it will be hung after use, but a towel is used because it sits on a bath chair to wash the body and head. In order to take it from the towel rack every time, it is necessary to stand up and sit down, and in that case the position is high and the usability is poor. Also, if you try to install the towel rack while sitting on a chair in a low and easy-to-use position, if there is a storage panel, counter, etc., there is a protrusion on the towel rack to make the washroom narrower, or the appearance may be poor. It may not be attached depending on the shape of. If the towel rack is not used for temporary storage, the towel, etc. should be temporarily placed on the counter, bathtub rim, etc., but if the towel is squeezed and rolled up, it will be unstable and will slip onto the floor due to the slope of the counter. It is unsanitary. If you do not squeeze the water, the water will drip and this is also unsanitary.

Usually, there are towel racks in the bathroom, but there are often no brush hooks. When retrofitting the brush hooks, holes cannot be made in the wall, and so a suction cup type is often used. In the case of the suction cup type, the suction cup comes off due to the weight of the product, but there is a problem in durability.

As a conventional technique for solving the above-mentioned problems, (1) there is a towel rack (bar) which is horizontally slidable at the bottom of a storage shelf for a toilet room and is equipped with a bar 9 shown in FIG. The towel rack 15 is set,
A bar that pulls out a bar and hangs a towel only when it is used, or (2) a system flat room for a toilet room.
-There is an opening like the 37454 that has an opening along the front edge of the counter where towels can be hung.

[0005]

Prior art (1),
When (2) is used in the bathroom, the following problems occur. The height of the counter in the bathroom is the floor considering usability.
Conventional technology (1)
In the case of, in the limited space of the bathroom, there are often walls and bathtubs next to the counter, so if you slide the towel rack under the counter horizontally, you cannot hit the bar and hang the towel. In the case of the prior art (2), there is no problem if the washing means is only a towel, but there is a problem that if a brush or sponge is used, they cannot be hooked.

In addition, although the shower is used in the bathroom, the shower hanger can hook the shower head even when the shower hanger is seated on a chair, but when the hook is hooked with the head lowered by shampoo or the like, the shower hanger is at a slightly higher position. Therefore, it may be difficult to use.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to allow small items such as towels and brushes used in a bathroom to be temporarily and hygienically placed in a conventional counter space in a bathroom. To provide a counter for use.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, it is necessary to have a shape which can be hooked with a towel, a brush or the like without being influenced by the space on the left and right of the counter and without protruding to the washing place. .

Therefore, in claim 1, a counter is provided with an opening for hanging a towel, and the opening is made discontinuous so that a brush can be further applied.

In the second aspect, the front edge of the counter is inclined upward so that the brush hooked by the water gradient of the counter does not easily fall.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the shower hanger function can be provided by making the tip of the recess of the first aspect large enough to pass the shower hose but not the showerhead body.

[0012]

1 and 2 show a first embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bathroom to which the counter of the present invention is applied.

In a bathroom having a floor 2, a bathroom wall 4, and a ceiling (not shown), and having a bathtub 8 installed therein,
Normally, the counter 1 is almost the same height as the bathtub rim 9 on the bathroom wall 4 on the faucet mounting side of the bathroom washing area 3 (about 500 m from the floor surface).
It is often installed at the m position). A mirror 5 is attached above the counter and a shower faucet 6 is attached below the counter.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a counter according to claim 1 of the present invention. Since the counter 1 has a substantially concave shape in plan view near the front edge, the towel 10 and the brush 11 are
Can be hooked. Further, by forming the concave portion of the counter 1 near the end, even if there is the shower faucet 6 at the lower portion of the counter 1, the shower faucet 6 and the towel 10 and the like do not interfere with each other and are sanitary.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a counter according to claim 2 of the present invention. Since the front edge portion 12 of the counter 1 is inclined upward, the brush 11 and the like caught in the concave portion do not easily fall. There is a concern that a water pool will remain on the top plate by tilting the front edge upward, but as shown in Fig. 4, near the bottom surface where the downward slope in the direction away from the wall and the upward slope of the front edge 12 intersect. The cross section of the top plate is as shown in Fig. 5,
At least one of the ends is lower than the center, or a hole for draining water is formed near the bottom as shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a counter according to claim 3 of the present invention. A constriction 13 is provided in the concave portion of the counter 1, and the tip end side of the constriction 13 is formed to have a size through which the shower hose can pass but the shower head body 7 cannot pass, thereby providing a shower hanger function. Since the mounting position of the counter 1 is approximately the same height as the bathtub rim 9, it is possible to place a chair in the bathroom washing area 3 and rent the shower head at a position lower than the shoulder height when sitting.
Even when washing the head such as shampoo, the arm can be extended upward and placed in a comfortable position without taking an unreasonable position.

[0017]

The present invention has the following effects due to the above configuration.

According to claim 1, the towel which has been used up,
You can easily take and place the brush while sitting on the bath chair, so you do not have to stand up or sit down to hang the towel on the towel rack. Also, since it is not necessary to squeeze the towel and place it on the counter, it is hygienic because the towel does not fall under the floor.

According to the second aspect, even if the counter top plate has an inclination for draining water, since the front edge of the counter is inclined upward, the brush hooked in the concave portion does not easily drop and is sanitary. .

According to the third aspect, the shower hose can be passed through the vicinity of the tip of the counter concave portion, but the shower hanger is not passed through, so that the shower head can be temporarily placed.
