A recess is formed in the waterproof pan, and a drain is provided at the bottom of the recess, and a lid is formed above the recess so as to be substantially flush with the upper surface of the waterproof pan. Features. In this case, the water discharged onto the waterproof pan falls into the drain through the gap around the lid, and flows out of the toilet unit.

[0006] Preferably, the toilet unit has a concave portion formed as a storage portion. in this case,
It becomes possible to store accessories and the like in the storage section.

It is preferable that the lavatory unit is detachable so that the storage body can be attached to and detached from a recess serving as a storage section together with the lid. In this case, the storage body can be moved even when small articles or the like are stored.

It is preferable that the lavatory unit has a space on the waterproof pan where a washing machine is placed together with the basin. In this case, it is possible to use the washing machine by removing the lid so that the water flowing out from the tip of the drain hose of the washing machine can be received at the drain port.

1 and 3 show an embodiment corresponding to all of claims 1 to 5 of the present invention.
It is an outline sectional view showing the washroom unit of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the toilet unit. FIG. 3 shows a recess 4 provided with a drain port 5 of the lavatory unit.
It is principal part sectional drawing which shows.

The lavatory unit of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 3, in the lavatory unit 3 in which the wash basin 2 (shown in FIG. 2) is disposed on the waterproof pan 1, the waterproof pan 1 is formed with a recess 4, and the bottom of the recess 4 is drained. A mouth 5 is provided. A detachable storage body 6 is embedded in the concave portion 4, and a lid body 7 that is substantially flush with the upper surface of the waterproof pan 1 is mounted above the storage body 6. The shape of the storage body 6 is not limited as long as it can be buried in the concave portion 4. However, the storage body 6 is preferably formed into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped storage case, so that it is easy to process in manufacturing and to organize and store the stored items when used. In addition, since the lid 7 is mounted,
The drain 5 does not directly enter the user's field of view, and the aesthetic appearance is maintained. Further, since the lid 7 forms substantially the same plane as the upper surface of the waterproof pan 1, even when the user steps on the foot, the user does not feel a foreign object.

When water is discharged onto the waterproof pan 1, the water falls into the drain 5 through the gap 8 around the lid 7, and flows out through the drain 9. Therefore, it is desirable that the portion in contact with the lid 7 and the housing 6 is subjected to waterproofing or the like so that the water discharged onto the waterproof pan 1 does not enter the housing 6. The lid 7 and the recess 4 formed in the waterproof pan 1 do not necessarily have to have a U-shape as shown in the figure. It is sufficient that the dent is formed to such an extent that the dent can be placed so as to form a substantially same plane.

Further, in this case, even if the lavatory unit 3 is washed with water, the water is drained from the drain port 5 without staying on the waterproof pan 1. This eliminates the need to perform, and improves workability.
In addition, the ability to wash with water makes it easy to use a detergent having a high cleaning effect, and a dramatic improvement in cleaning efficiency can be expected.

Since the recess 4 has the detachable storage body 6, it is possible to always store tools and the like necessary for maintenance of the lavatory unit 3, such as cleaning tools.
There is no problem with their storage space. Most storage 6
Can be used not only for cleaning tools but also for various purposes, so it is expected that the space can be effectively used for each purpose. It is needless to say that the same effect can be obtained even if the detachable storage body 6 is not provided, if the storage portion is formed in the recess 4.

In this embodiment, a storage case is employed as the storage body 6, but any storage body such as a storage basket may be used as long as the storage purpose can be achieved. Since the storage body 6 is detachable, when the concave portion 4 is to be cleaned, it can be cleaned in a detached state. Therefore, it is no longer difficult to wash the container 6 because it is in the way, and the workability is extremely good. In addition, because you can carry it with storing things in it,
For example, when a cleaning operation is performed in another place, a set of cleaning tools necessary for moving can be prepared, and the usability is good.

Further, the end 13 of the waterproof pan 1 of the lavatory unit 3 is joined to the end 12 of the waterproof pan 11 of the bathroom unit 10 without any step. Therefore, when the user moves back and forth between the toilet unit 3 and the bathroom unit 10, the user does not need to be aware of the step at the boundary, and is free from the risk of tripping over and so on. It is possible to contribute to the realization of a free design. In the present embodiment, the partition door 14 is provided at the boundary between the two units in order to increase the utility value of each unit as an independent space. However, there is no need to use the unit as a combined unit of a washroom and a bathroom.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a space 15 for placing a washing machine in the toilet unit 3 is secured. The storage place is not limited to the position described in the embodiment, but it is desirable to secure a washing machine space in a corner portion that is convenient for the user. In this case, the washing machine can be used by removing the lid 7 and the housing 6 so that the water flowing out from the tip of the drain hose of the washing machine can be received at the drain port 5, so that the washing machine can be used separately. This eliminates the need to install waterproof pans for the machine, greatly reducing the number of installation steps and equipment costs.

[0018]

The lavatory unit of the present invention is implemented as in the above embodiment, and the water discharged onto the waterproof pan falls into the drain through a gap around the lid, and the lavatory unit As a result, the water does not stay on the waterproof pan even when the toilet unit is washed with water. Therefore, it is not necessary to wipe off water or wait for drying at the time of cleaning, thereby improving workability. In addition, the ability to wash with water makes it easier to use detergents with high cleaning effects,
A dramatic improvement in cleaning efficiency can be expected.

Further, since it is possible to store small items and the like in the storage section, multipurpose use is possible, and effective use of a space according to each purpose can be expected.

Further, since the storage body can be moved even when small articles or the like are stored, the cleaning can be performed with the concave portion removed when cleaning. Therefore, it is not difficult for the storage body to get in the way and it is difficult to wash, and the workability is extremely good.

The washing machine can be used by removing the lid so that water discharged from the tip of the drain hose of the washing machine can be received at the drain port. Therefore, there is no need to separately install a waterproof pan for a washing machine, which greatly contributes to a reduction in the number of installation steps and a reduction in equipment costs.

In addition, since the waterproof pans of both units are joined without any step, the user does not need to be aware of the boundary between the bathroom unit and the bathroom unit, and is free from the risk of tripping over. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the realization of a so-called barrier-free design.
