In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a counter with a water receiving portion which is integrally formed of synthetic resin. It has a water receiving portion 2 and a top plate portion 3 around the water receiving portion. The top plate 3 does not need to be of the same level as a whole, and in the illustrated example, the rear side is linear in the left-right direction, and the plane shape is substantially semicircular.
A lowest top plate portion 3a outside the arc-shaped periphery of the water receiving portion 2; a slightly higher level top plate portion 3b located behind the linear rear side of the water receiving portion 2; The highest level storage table forming top plate portion 3c behind the portion 3b
It is composed of Reference numeral 4 denotes a drain hole provided at the bottom of the water receiving portion 2, to which a drain pipe is connected at the time of use, and a remotely openable / closable plug for opening / closing the drain hole 4 or a rubber manually detachable. A stopper or the like is used in combination. Reference numeral 5 denotes a faucet mounting hole provided in the top plate portion 3b. In use, for example, a hot-water mixing faucet is mounted and a water supply and a hot-water supply pipe are connected. Of course, two attachment holes for attaching a water faucet and a hot water faucet may be provided.

A recess 6 is formed in the top plate 3b at a position lateral to the faucet mounting hole 5 and the water receiving portion 2 side is opened into the water receiving portion 2. A bottom portion of the recess 6 is formed. Is provided with a drain hole 7 for overflow. In the illustrated example, the planar shape of the recessed portion 6 is a substantially trapezoidal shape with the back side narrowed, and the drainage holes 7 are formed in three rows in the left-right direction. ing.

In the counter with the water receiving portion having the above-mentioned structure, the base 8 for connecting the overflow drain pipe communicating with the drain pipe connected to the drain hole 4 at the time of use, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. Is attached to the back surface of the top plate 3b so as to communicate with all of the three rows of drain holes 7. When the level of the hot water stored in the water receiving portion 2 during use becomes higher than the bottom of the concave portion 6, the hot water in the water receiving portion 2 is discharged from the drain hole 7 through the concave portion 6, and the water is discharged. It does not overflow from the upper end of the receiving portion 2 to the top plate portions 3a, 3b.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a projection 9 for supporting a soap, which is long in the front-rear direction, is formed on the bottom surface 6a of the recessed portion 6.
Are arranged side by side at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction. The drain hole 7 is provided on the bottom surface 6a of the recess 6 between the soap supporting projections 9. Of course, as the soap supporting projection 9, a large number of point-like projections can be dispersedly provided. In this configuration, the used soap 10 can be placed on the soap supporting projection 9, so that the soap drain 10 can be placed directly on the bottom surface 6 a of the recess 6, as in the case where the soap 10 is directly placed on the bottom surface 6 a of the recess 6.
This prevents the soap 10 from being blocked by the soap 10 and the bottom surface of the soap 10 from being hard to dry and sticky. Of course, the hot and cold water dripped from the soap 10 flows out of the drain hole 7 through the recess 6 or flows out of the recess 6 into the water receiving portion 2 and does not accumulate in the recess 6. .

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a cover plate 11 for covering the upper side of the recess 6 is also used. In order to removably mount the cover plate 11 above the recess 6, as shown in FIG. 3, a lower cover plate support step 12 is provided around the upper end of the recess 6, At the left and right front ends of the cover plate supporting step portion 12, there is provided a cover plate receiving portion 13 which is raised one step to prevent the cover plate 11 from sliding toward the water receiving portion 2. Further, a pin hole-shaped locked portion 14 is provided at a position slightly higher than the cover plate supporting step portion 12 at a position deepest with respect to the water receiving portion 2 around the concave portion 6. Is provided with a pin-shaped locking portion 15 that fits into and engages with the locked portion 14.

In the cover plate 11, a peripheral wall portion 16 mounted on the cover plate supporting step 12 around the recess 6 is formed on the lower side of the periphery except for the front side. Notch portions 17 for fitting the cover plate receiving portions 13 are formed at both left and right front ends, and a long and long ridge-shaped soap supporting projection 18 is formed on the upper surface in the front-rear direction. Is provided with a drain hole 19.

The cover plate 11 has the pin-shaped locking portion 15 fitted and engaged with the pin hole-shaped locked portion 14, and has a lower peripheral wall portion 16 on the periphery of the cover plate on the recessed portion 6 side. It is placed on the supporting step 12. As a result, the sliding of the cover plate 11 to the water receiving portion 2 side means that the left and right front ends of the peripheral wall portion 16 on the cover plate 11 side engage with the pair of left and right cover plate receiving portions 13 on the concave portion 6 side. Is surely prevented. When the central portion of the front edge of the cover plate 11 is pushed down, the rear side of the cover plate 11 is lifted up. This is because the pin-shaped locking portion 15 and the recessed portion 6 on the cover plate 11 side. This is reliably prevented by engagement with the pin-hole-shaped locked portion 14 on the side.

When the cover plate 11 is used in combination, the soap is placed on the cover plate 11 (on the soap supporting projection 18). At this time, hot water dropped from the soap flows into the recessed portion 6 from the drainage hole 19 of the cover plate 11. Needless to say, the cover plate 11 can be easily removed by lifting the front side and pulling out the front side as needed, such as during cleaning.

In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the water-supply unit 2 having a preferred design for use as a hand-washing counter or a washbasin counter is shown. It can also be used as a sink.
