[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An ordinary vanity stand is used by one person, and is narrow in width and has only one faucet provided for hand washing, face washing, hair washing and the like. It could not be used at the same time. Therefore, Patent No. 286
FIG. 1 of Japanese Patent No. 3380 (FIG. 3 of the present application) discloses a vanity table that can be used by two persons at the same time. Briefly describing the vanity table 30, a counter 33 is attached to an upper part of a cabinet 31 in which a storage space 32 is provided, and a shampoo ball 34 and a basin ball 35 are fixed to the counter 33 so as to be adjacent to each other.
The faucet ball 34 and the wash ball 35 are provided with faucets 36 and 38, respectively. The faucet faucet 36 provided on the hair wash ball 34 side supports a shower head 37 which can be pulled out together with a hose.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem to be solved by the present invention is that two faucets which can be used at the same time can be used at the same time by installing two faucets capable of discharging water toward the ball. Is to improve usability when used simultaneously.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention,
In a bathroom vanity where two faucets capable of discharging water are attached to a ball fixed to the upper surface of a cabinet and can be used at the same time, the two faucets are a hair faucet and a sensor operated by a user. It is an automatic faucet that detects water and discharges water and stops water.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, each of the faucets is attached to an inclined surface of a back guard provided at an upper rear portion of the ball, the lower portion of which is projected forward toward the ball.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The vanity table 1 of the present invention is shown in FIG.
The cabinet 4 is installed along the wall in the room as shown in (1), and the counter 4 is fixed on the upper surface of the cabinet 2, and the cabinet 2 is capable of storing towels, soap, and other articles inside the doors 3, 3 which can be opened and closed. There is a storage space (not shown) that can be used.
Has been fixed. The ball 5 is provided with a drain port 7 for draining hot water at substantially the center of the bottom surface, and the lower portion of the ball 5
A back guard 8 having an inclined surface 9 formed so as to protrude forward toward the front side, and a hair-washing faucet 10 capable of discharging hot and cold water toward the ball 5 on both left and right sides of the inclined surface 9 of the back guard 8. The automatic faucets 16 are attached at intervals. A mirror cabinet 18 is erected behind the back guard 8, and a mirror 19 is fixed in the center of the mirror cabinet 18, and soap, shampoo, rinse, cosmetics, and other articles are provided on both left and right sides of the mirror 19. A large number of shelves 20 that can be placed are formed vertically.

The hair washing faucet 10 comprises a faucet body 11 whose temperature and flow rate can be adjusted by operating a lever 12, a shower head 13 for supplying the hot water adjusted by the faucet body 11, and a shower head. A holder 14 is provided for supporting the head 13 together with a hose (not shown) housed under the back guard 8 so as to be able to be pulled out. The holder 14 slides up and down on a fixture 15 attached to the inclined surface 9 of the back guard 8. When the hair can be freely moved and the hair is washed with the faucet 10 for hair washing, the holder 14 can be pulled up from the fixture 15 and the shower head 13 can be pulled out from the holder 14 together with the hose and used forward.

The automatic faucet 16 includes a sensor, a control unit, and an electromagnetic valve. When the hand is brought close to a water outlet 17 for discharging hot water, the sensor detects the presence of the hand and sends the sensor to the control unit. A sensing signal is sent, the electromagnetic valve is opened based on the signal from the control unit, and the spouting of the hot water is started from the spout 17, and when the hand is released from the vicinity of the spout 17, the spouting of the hot water is stopped. .

When washing hair with the vanity 1 or storing water in a container, the lever 12 is operated with a faucet 10 for washing hair and water is spouted from a shower head 13. At this time, the hair can be easily washed by pulling the holder 14 upward from the fixture 15 or pulling out the shower head 13 together with the hose.

At this time, when washing the face or washing hands next to the person performing the hair washing or drawing water into the cup, put your hand under the water outlet 17 of the automatic faucet 16 or in front of it. The water can be discharged simply by making the sensor detect the hand, or the water can be stopped by releasing the hand from the water discharge port 17. In this case, since the faucet is an automatic faucet 16 that does not require manual operation of the lever, the hair can be easily used even in a cramped posture because the hair is washed next to the faucet.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the dressing table 1a of this embodiment, the counter 4 is provided with a large-width hair-washing ball 5a having an open top and a small-size wash-basin ball 5b also having an open top, which is partitioned by a wall 6 from side to side. It is fixed to fit. Both balls 5
a and 5b are provided with drain ports 7 and 7, respectively, on the bottom surface, and a back guard 8 having an inclined surface 9 formed at the rear upper portion so that the lower portion projects forward toward the balls 5a and 5b. 8, a faucet 10 for spitting hot water toward the shampoo ball 5a,
Automatic faucets 16 capable of discharging hot and cold water toward b are attached. The other configuration is the same as that of the embodiment. Since the vanity of this embodiment is independent of each ball, it is clear that two persons can use the vanity at the same time.

[0013]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vanity table in which two water faucets capable of discharging water are attached to a ball fixed to an upper surface of a cabinet and can be used simultaneously. The faucet is a water faucet and a sensor is an automatic faucet that senses the movement of the user and discharges water and stops the water, so one person uses the faucet for hair washing and uses a large space. When other users use the faucet, the faucet is an automatic faucet that can discharge water simply by sensing the hand with the sensor, so it can be used easily even from cramped postures. As a result, the usability can be greatly improved as compared with a conventional vanity stand.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since each faucet is attached to the back guard provided at the rear upper portion of the ball, the lower portion is attached to the inclined surface protruding forward toward the ball, so that water drops adhere to the back guard. Even along the inclined surface, water drops fall smoothly on the ball, and the vanity can be kept clean.
