Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting an electric water heater in a handwash vanity, etc. with an electric water heater,
Specifically, the purpose is to avoid interference between the electric water heater and the decorative cover during construction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In installing a wall-mounted hand-washing vanity, when using an electric water heater as a hot water supply source, for example, the following structure can be considered. That is, as shown in FIG.
The electric water heater 1 is attached to the mounting surface 4 such as a wall or a wall panel in the lower region of the handwasher U mounted on the mounting surface 4 and the screws 5.
After fixing to the mounting surface W with and,
It is attached to the mounting surface W to cover the surface of the electric water heater 1, as shown in FIG.

[0003]

The hand-washing vanity having the above structure is constructed in such a manner that the electric water heater 1 is first fixed to the mounting surface W and then the decorative cover 6 is attached. usually,
Since the drain pipe P and the like are connected to the hand washing device U, it is a heavy burden on the operator to fix the electric water heater 1 at a predetermined position on the mounting surface W, and the workability is poor. Moreover, as illustrated in the drawing, the makeup cover 6 having the storage recess 7 does not have much room between the makeup cover 6 and the electric water heater 1. Therefore, when the fixed position of the electric water heater 1 deviates from the predetermined position, the makeup cover 6 There is a problem that it becomes difficult to attach the cosmetic cover to a predetermined position, or the mounting posture of the decorative cover 6 becomes improper and the appearance becomes poor.

[0004]

The present invention was devised for the purpose of improving the workability of a dressing table provided with an electric water heater. For such a purpose, the feature of the mounting structure of the electric water heater adopted by the present invention is that a positioning means is provided in a hand wash or the like attached to the mounting surface.
The positioning means sets the mounting position with respect to the mounting surface of the electric water heater. With the above structure, since the fixing position of the electric water heater can be adjusted with reference to the positioning means provided in the hand washing device, it becomes easy to fix the electric water heater at a predetermined position on the mounting surface.

As a concrete mode of the above-mentioned mounting structure, a drainage pipe connected to a handwasher or the like mounted on the mounting surface, or
It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the bracket for holding the electric water heater is fixed to the mounting surface, and the electric water heater is attached to the bracket, based on the connecting device between the hand washing device and the drain pipe.

Further, the makeup stand with an electric water heater according to the present invention is characterized in that the makeup water heater is attached based on the above structure, and then the makeup cover is attached to the attachment surface. Since the electric water heater can be easily fixed at a predetermined position on the mounting surface, interference with the decorative cover can be reliably avoided.

The present invention provides a mounting structure for an electric water heater of a different aspect, which is characterized in that a decorative cover having a holding means for the electric water heater is provided on a mounting surface below a hand washing device or the like. Wearing and wearing an electric water heater on the decorative cover. Since this mounting structure mounts the electric water heater on the basis of the decorative cover, there is no risk of mutual interference between the two.

Further, the present invention provides a dressing table with an electric water heater using the above structure, and the features thereof are:
This is because, after the electric water heater was attached by the above structure, the surface of the electric water heater was covered with a protective cover. In the makeup stand with an electric water heater having such a configuration, mutual interference between the electric water heater and the makeup cover is avoided, and thus workability is good. The protective cover improves design and heat retention of the electric water heater.
