Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a counter mounting structure and a counter, and more particularly to a counter mounting structure and a counter capable of easily performing a positioning operation in a height direction when mounting the counter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a structure in which a counter on which a washbasin or the like is mounted is attached along a wall surface of a bathroom unit. The known counter has a substantially flat mounting surface on the front surface (upper surface) side, and the back surface (lower surface) portion is directly supported by a support member fixed to a wall surface or a floor surface so that the counter can be mounted. It has become.

[0003]

However, when the counter is molded by the casting method or the hand lay-up method, the thickness of the counter tends to become uneven due to shrinkage when the resin material is cured. In the above-mentioned structure in which the back surface of the above-mentioned is the reference height for attachment, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to accurately determine the height position of the above-mentioned placement surface when attaching the counter at the construction site. That is, in the above molding method, even if the mounting surface of the counter can be molded flat, undulation occurs on the back surface side and the thickness of the counter becomes uneven, so that the distance from the back surface to the mounting surface varies. It does not become constant in each part,
Positioning work in the height direction of the counter at the construction site
The counter is temporarily placed on a support member that is fixed in advance on a wall surface or floor surface, and the back surface is cut according to the difference between the height position of the mounting surface and the desired height position at that time, or the back surface and the support member. Positioning work in the height direction of the counter cannot be easily performed because height adjustment work such as insertion of a spacer between and is required.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of such inconvenience, and an object of the present invention is to mount a counter which can easily perform a positioning operation in the height direction when mounting the counter. To provide a structure and a counter.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in a mounting structure of a counter having a mounting surface on the upper surface side, the counter is mounted on the counter at a predetermined position based on a predetermined position on the upper surface side. A positioning member is attached, and the counter is attached using the positioning member as a height reference. According to such a configuration, even if the back side of the counter is not flat due to the manufacturing of the counter, the positioning member is attached at the predetermined position with reference to the predetermined position on the upper side, and thus the positioning is performed. By mounting the counter on the basis of the member, the mounting surface can be reliably set to the regular position regardless of the shape of the back side, and height adjustment work such as cutting work on the back side and inserting spacers is unnecessary. As a result, it is possible to easily perform the positioning work in the height direction of the counter.

The counter may be formed by a casting method or a hand layup method.

Further, according to the present invention, in a counter having a mounting surface on the upper surface side, a positioning member is provided at a predetermined position with reference to a predetermined position on the upper surface side, and the positioning member serves as a height reference at the time of mounting. Is adopted. With such a configuration as well, the mounting surface can be reliably set to the proper position when the counter is attached.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS It is preferable that the positioning member be attached with reference to the upper end of the counter. With this configuration, the positioning member can be easily attached to the counter, and the positioning member can be easily viewed when the counter is attached, so that the counter can be attached more easily. Further, it is possible to easily deal with the adjustment of the left and right width of the counter by cutting the side end side of the counter.

Here, the positioning member includes an alignment fixing surface attached to an outer peripheral surface of the counter at an upper portion thereof, and the alignment fixing surface is located at a position higher than an upper end position on an upper end side of the counter. It is advisable to adopt a configuration in which it is attached at a low position. As a result, when the counter is attached, it becomes difficult for the positioning member to be exposed on the mounting surface side of the counter, so it is difficult for hot water to splash on the positioning member, and it is necessary to use various materials for the positioning member. Besides, the appearance can be improved.

In this specification, the term indicating the position or direction is used with reference to the state of FIG. 1 in which a counter is attached at a predetermined position such as in a bathroom unless otherwise specified.
