DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom unit provided in a bathroom space, and more particularly to a bathroom unit having a common bathroom counter for right and left hands.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since a bathroom is a residential space where people can relax most, recently, various types of bathrooms and various bathtubs have been proposed. An asymmetric bathtub 10 such as a gourd bathtub or a cocoon-shaped bathtub as shown in FIG. 5 has emerged from a conventional rounded rectangular symmetric bathtub, and an asymmetric bathroom counter 15 is provided at one end of the asymmetric bathtub 10. They are arranged continuously. When the asymmetric bathtub 10 is used in the bathroom, the left-hand bathtub 10 is usually used in relation to the entrance.
A and two types of right-hand bathtubs 10B are required, and the bathroom counter 15 also requires two types of left-hand counters 15A and right-hand counters 15B.

[0003]

The supply side (manufacturer) of the bathroom unit requires two types of bathtubs, one for left-hand use and the other for right-hand use, or one for left-hand use and one for right-hand use. The need for two types of bathroom counters has drawbacks in terms of manufacturing costs and storage space. The present invention is intended to eliminate or reduce such difficulties, and it is possible to use a single type of bathroom counter for both left-handed and right-handed use even when using an asymmetric bathtub,

A bathroom unit including a washing place and a bathroom counter 5, wherein the bathroom counter 5 is adapted to be used for both the left-handed bathtub 11 and the right-handed bathtub 12 and has a structure that can be commonly used. Unit.

[0005] The bathroom unit having such a structure can be achieved by the following configuration. That is, in a bathroom unit including one (one side) of the left-handed bathtub 11 and the right-handed bathtub 12, a washing place, and a bathroom counter 5, the bathtub 1 has a longitudinal direction in the washing place side. At one end of the bathroom is provided a wide bath 2 that overhangs the washing area,
At the boundary between the bathtub 1 and the washing place, a bathtub apron 3 is provided which hangs from the upper part of the bathtub to the floor of the washing place.
Is a curved portion (meaning including a curved surface portion) 3a that curves along the wide bath portion 2, and a straight portion (a flat portion is defined by a continuous portion extending along both sides along the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1 along the curved portion 3a). Meaning) 3b, bathroom counter 5
Is made up of a first support portion 6, a second support portion 7 arranged symmetrically about the first support portion, and a skirt 9 hanging down toward the washing floor. The side end may be brought into contact with the straight portion 3b of the bathtub apron 3 and the front edge 7a and the skirt 9 of the second support portion 7 may be provided so as to form a sense of unity with the curved portion 3a. .

Here, "(one side) bathtub" refers to a bathtub having a wide bath, for example, a left-handed bathtub having a wide bath at one end in the longitudinal direction, a left-hand bathtub, or one end in the longitudinal direction. A right-hand bathtub with a wide bath on the right side of the club. Also,
The “tub apron” is provided between the upper surface projecting from the upper end portion of the side wall of the bathtub toward the washing area and the washing area. The "bathroom counter" is used to place soap, shampoo, rinse, basin, shaver, pumice stone, etc. used in the bathroom, and the first support portion is mainly a basin mounting portion. , And the second support portion is mainly used as a mounting portion for soaps. Further, "forming a sense of unity with the curved portion" means that the shape is continuous with the curved portion, is in harmony with the curved portion, and the design is unified with the curved portion.

In the above-mentioned bathroom unit, preferably, the height (t) of the support portion (from the washing place) of the first support portion is set.
Is 300 to 350 mm, the second support portion is one step higher than the first support portion, and lower than the bathtub upper surface, (one side)
The upper part of the bathtub and the upper part of the bathroom counter have the same color pattern.

The meaning that “the second support portion is lower than the upper surface of the bathtub” means that even if soapy water or the like flows through the second support portion,
This is for preventing the inflow into the bathtub from the second support portion. “The height (t) of the support portion of the first support portion is 300 to 35.
The meaning of “0 mm” is because it is suitable for sitting down and washing hair. The “color pattern” is a combination of a color (for example, blue or yellow) and a pattern (for example, satin pattern or marble pattern), which is used together with a fragrance or lighting that stabilizes the mind.

[0016]

According to the bathroom unit of the present invention, there is a need for two types of bathtubs, a left-handed bathtub and a right-handed bathtub. However, the bathroom counter is common for left-handed and right-handed bathtubs ( Therefore, only one kind of bathroom counter is required. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced, which contributes in terms of manufacturing cost and storage space, and also facilitates construction. Also, since the side end of the one-side second support portion abuts on the straight portion of the bathtub apron, and the leading edge is continuous with the curved portion of the bathtub apron, the one-side bathtub and the bathroom counter become integral, Harmony in the bathroom is maintained.

If the second support portion of the bathroom counter is lower than the upper surface of the bathtub and the first support portion is lower than the second support portion,
Even when the face is washed or the hair is washed at the first support portion, the detergent does not flow into the bathtub. In particular, the first support portion is optimal when used while sitting on a washing place. In addition, if the upper portion of the bathtub and the bathroom counter are made to have the same color pattern, the sense of unity is further improved, and a sense of stability and comfort are obtained.
