Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bath room counter which gives convenience and safety in the use of a bath room. SOLUTION: The bath room counter comprises the first and second counters installed almost vertical as viewed on a side from the wall surface thereof and a basin carrier rotatable downward as disposed almost at the central part of a common counter. The basin carrier is made rotatable downward during the unuse period to allow wider utilization of a washing space in the washing of bodies with children with the narrow washing space. The arrangement of the counter at a lower position can prevent water from splattering against wall panels below the counters thereby facilitating cleaning up.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom counter, and more particularly to a bathroom counter suitable for improving convenience, safety and design in using a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional bathroom, when the body is washed in a washing room, it is generally used by sitting on a bath chair and placing a basin on the floor. In this case, the floor surface on which the washbasin is placed is lower than the seat surface of the bath chair, and the user has to bend down more than necessary, and in particular, the elderly are physically burdened. Conventional techniques improved in consideration of this point, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
-In No. 99081, a washbasin stand was installed at the counter installed in the bathroom washroom. Furthermore, in a relatively small bathroom, this basin stand protrudes into the washroom during cleaning, which makes cleaning inferior, and even when in use, when bathing with a child or when drawing water in a bucket, etc. Is
Since the basin holder is an obstacle, it is provided so as to be detachable or rotatable above the state of use.

[0003]

In the prior art, the basin holder is detached from the usage state stored in the counter, inverted, and then stored in the counter. The basin holder is stored in the counter. The work was troublesome and troublesome.

As another conventional technique, a structure has been proposed in which the basin holder is rotated upward from the use state.
When turned up, the dirty back side of the basin stand was visible, which was unsightly. Further, a space for rotating the washbasin stand upward is required on the upper surface of the counter, and the faucet metal fitting and the upper counter cannot be installed at a low position. Furthermore, since the basin holder cannot be attached or detached, it has poor cleaning performance, and dirt is easily accumulated especially in the gaps of the rotating portion, and it is difficult to remove it.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom counter which is suitable for convenience in bathroom use, safety, and design improvement. To provide.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is a bathroom counter, in which a first counter and a second counter are installed substantially vertically from a wall surface in a side view. Since a basin stand that can be rotated downward when not in use is provided in the substantial center, the limited bathroom space can be effectively used. Further, in the case of the structure in which the basin stand is rotated upward from the use state, a space for rotating the basin upward is required, and there is a limit to the mounting height of the faucet metal fittings, the upper counter, the shelf, etc. However, in the present invention, they can be installed at any height. In addition, the first counter and the second counter formed on the side part of the central portion of the washbasin stand base of the stepped protrusion provided on the mounting side Since the concave portion provided on the back surface is engaged, the safety and stability are improved because the basin holder does not come off or wobble when using the basin holder.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the bathroom counter according to claim 1, since the basin holder has a substantially fan-shaped plane shape, the basin holder is moved downward when not in use. When it is rotated, it prevents water splashing on the lower wall of the bathroom counter and has an antifouling effect. Further, when the basin holder is rotated downward, the width of the basin stand becomes wider than the width above, so that more water can be prevented from splashing.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the bathroom counter according to the first and second aspects, a lower portion of the catch portion of the washbasin stand is open, and the first counter and the second counter are provided. Since it is detachable from the counter, the operation of attaching and detaching the basin holder can be done easily and smoothly, and the troublesome operation is greatly reduced.
