Each cabinet 11 is provided with a pair of upper and lower drawers 11a at an upper part, and a lower part is a storage part opened and closed by an opening and closing door 11b which is turned around a vertical axis. Between the lower part of each cabinet 11,
A horizontal support plate 13 is provided.

The top plate 12 has, for example, a length of 500 m in the front-rear direction so as to cover the upper surface of each cabinet 11.
m, the length in the width direction on the left and right is 900 mm, and a hemispherical wash ball 12a is provided at the center thereof. The wash ball 12a has a length of 500 m in the left and right width directions.
m. The top plate 12 is also provided with a water tap 12b so that water can be supplied to the wash ball 12a.

A mirror frame 18 is mounted vertically at the center of the side edge on the back side of the top plate 12, similarly to an ordinary dresser. It is installed vertically facing. Mirror frame 18
Is a vertical length of about 1000 mm, and 670
The width dimension in the left and right direction is about mm.

As shown in FIG. 3, a gas spring 14 is provided vertically at the center in the left-right direction on the back side of the support plate 13 which is horizontally installed between the lower parts of the left and right cabinets 11. The gas spring 14 is generally used as a lifting device for a chair or the like. The gas spring 14 is urged by the pressure of gas sealed in the cylinder 14a so that the piston rod 14b advances upward from the cylinder 14a. I have. The tip of the piston rod 14b, which is the upper end of the gas spring 14, is attached to a portion of the top plate 12 closer to the back than the wash ball 12a.
The top plate 12 is held in a horizontal state in a cantilever state by a gas spring 14.

The gas spring 14 is brought into a locked state in which the piston rod 14b does not advance or retreat by the rotation of a lock lever 14c provided at the upper end of the cylinder 14a.
The piston rod 14b is set to an unlocked state in which the piston rod 14b can advance and retreat, and the lock lever 14c is
It is connected via a link mechanism to a foot-operated pedal 14d provided horizontally below the gas spring 14. Normally, the foot-operated pedal 14d is
4c is urged so as to lock the piston rod 14b so that the piston rod 14b does not advance and retreat. When the foot pedal 14d is depressed, the lock lever 14c
It is rotated so that the locked state of b is released.

As shown in FIG. 2, a cantilevered top plate 12 is horizontally mounted on each of the left and right sides of a support plate 13 horizontally installed between the lower ends of the left and right cabinets 11. Guide members 15 for raising and lowering are provided, respectively. Each guide member 15 includes a square pipe-shaped support body 15a vertically mounted on the support plate 13 and a square pipe-shaped slide body 15b fitted in the support body 15a so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. Have. Slide body 15b
Project upward from the upper end surface of the support body 15a, and the upper end of each slide body 15b is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 12, respectively.

The top plate 12 held in a horizontal state by the gas spring 14 does not slide up and down in proportion to the urging force of the piston rod 14b when the locked state of the gas spring 14 is released. .
As described above, the balancer (not shown) is provided on the top plate 12 so as to balance the urging force of the piston rod 14b. Accordingly, when the locked state of the gas spring 14 is released, the top plate 12 is lifted and lowered along the guide member 15 while maintaining a horizontal state by slightly applying an upward or downward force to the top plate 12. Will be.

As shown in FIG. 3, a front lower decorative plate 1 is provided between the lower front surfaces of the support members 15a of each guide member 15.
6a is provided in a vertical state, and a front upper decorative panel 16b is vertically attached to the lower surface of the top plate 12 so as to move up and down along the upper front surface of the front lower decorative panel 16a. The upper central portion of the front upper decorative plate 16b is cut out along the lower surface of the wash ball 12a, and the cutout portion is fitted to the wash ball 12a. Gas spring 1
The horizontal foot pedal 14d connected to the fourth lock lever 14c is in a state of protruding forward through the front lower decorative plate 16a.

Further, the support body 1 of each guide member 15
A lower back decorative plate 17a is provided vertically between the lower back surfaces of the lower back surfaces 5a. The plate 17b is mounted vertically.

Between the front lower decorative panel 16a and the front upper decorative panel 16b, and between the rear lower decorative panel 17a and the rear upper decorative panel 17b, a flexible member for supplying water to the hydrant 12b attached to the top plate 12 is provided. A water supply hose 19a is housed therein, and a flexible drainage hose 19b into which drainage from the wash ball 12a attached to the top plate 12 flows is housed. Water supply hose 19
a and the drain hose 19b respectively penetrate the rear lower decorative panel 17a and protrude to the rear side of the rear lower decorative panel 17a, and are respectively connected to a water supply pipe and a drain pipe provided on a wall surface of a house or the like. It has become.
