Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a washbasin for a vanity, a structure is known in which a counter is provided on one side of a wash bowl, and relatively high guards are formed on four sides of the wash bowl and the counter. It is also known that counters are provided on both sides of the wash bowl, very low flanges are formed in front of the wash bowl and the counter, and relatively high guards are formed on the other three sides.

[0003]

In the conventional wash basin in which relatively high guards are formed on the four sides of the wash bowl and the counter, the counter can be washed without worrying about splashing and overflowing water. Since the guard is relatively high even in front of the wash bowl, there is an inconvenience that the guard obstructs and it is difficult to perform the wash operation in the wash bowl.

On the other hand, in the conventional wash basin in which a very low flange is formed in front of the wash bowl and the counter, the flange does not prevent the wash operation in the wash bowl, but it is formed in front of the counter. Since the flange is very low, there is a disadvantage that it is necessary to pay attention to water splash and overflow when cleaning the counter.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is easy to perform a washing operation in a washing bowl, and the counter can be washed without worrying about splashing and overflowing water. It is intended to provide a washbasin for a vanity.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, in a washbasin for a vanity, a washbasin having the form of a water tank, and a counter provided adjacent to the washbasin A side guard extending upward from a side edge surface of the counter at a side edge portion of the counter, and a front edge portion of the wash bowl and a front edge surface of the counter at a front edge portion of the wash bowl and a front edge portion of the counter. A front guard extending upward from a rim surface, wherein the front guard is formed such that a front height of the wash bowl is substantially lower than a front height of the counter. Provide a washbasin.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the counter includes a first counter provided adjacent to one side of the wash bowl and a counter provided adjacent to the other side of the wash bowl. It has 2 counters. In this case, it is preferable that a drawer storage section is provided below at least one of the first counter and the second counter.

The front guard is formed such that the height in front of the washbasin is substantially lower than the height in front of the counter.

Specifically, for example, a first counter is provided on one side of the wash bowl and a second counter is provided on the other side. The front guard is highest, for example, in front of the first counter and the second counter, and is curvilinearly low in front of the washbasin. In other words, the front guard is highest on both sides, curvilinearly lower towards its center,
It is the lowest in front of the center of the washbasin.

Therefore, in the present invention, since the counter is surrounded by the relatively high side guards and the relatively high parts of the front guard, the counter can be washed without worrying about splashing and overflowing of water.
Further, since the front guard is relatively low (lowest) in front of the wash bowl, the front guard does not hinder the wash operation in the wash bowl.
