  The present invention relates to a method for fixing a wall surface in a vanity or the like, and more specifically, provides a method for fixing a wall surface of a vanity in which a main body cabinet and a mirror cabinet are separated.

  Conventionally, when a bathroom vanity, a kitchen set, or the like is directly fixed to a wall surface with screws or the like, it may not be installed in close contact due to the effects of unevenness on the wall or floor on the building side.

  For this reason, for example, in the case of a vanity (separate type main body cabinet and mirror cabinet), the mirror cabinet is affected by excessive force, and the mirror cabinet is subjected to excessive force, causing distortion in the mirror and distorting the image, There was sometimes rubbing.

  In this case, since it is necessary to readjust the position of the wooden cross and the like in order to reinforce the wall, additional labor is required, leading to an increase in cost.

  Further, when the mirror cabinet is fixed to the wall surface with screws or the like, there has been a problem that the screw hole on the wall surface when previously mounted is exposed at the time of reform.

  In order to solve the above problems, the contents of Patent Document 1 are known.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the support frame 50 for attaching the kitchen set 70 to the wall surface W includes left and right vertical frames 51 and 52 and horizontal rails 53 to 57. Yes. The vertical frames 51 and 52 and the horizontal rails 53 to 57 are all made of an extruded aluminum material, and the longitudinal ends of the horizontal rails 53 to 57 are in contact with and fixed to the vertical frames 51 and 52.

  Here, the cross-sectional shape of the horizontal rail 53 includes a hollow portion 61 for providing a required strength and a groove 58 opened below the hollow portion 61, and an upper protrusion of the wall cabinet B 1 fitted in the groove 58. A fixing portion 62 for fixing 59 and fixing edges 63 and 64 for fixing the lateral rail 53 to the wall surface are provided.

  The fixed edges 63 and 64 are fixed to the wall surface W by screws 65, and the upper projection 59 of the wall cabinet B1 is fixed to the horizontal rail 53 by screws 66 screwed into the fixing portion 62.

The cross-sectional shapes of the other horizontal rails 54 to 57 are the same, and the wall cabinet B1, the fireproof panels P1, P2, the sink B2, and the cooking table B3 as the kitchen set 70 can be sequentially attached.

Is temporarily attached to the mounting frame 2, and the mirror cabinet 4 is fixed to the mounting frame 2 by fixing the back surface 16 of the mirror cabinet 4 to the mounting frame 2 via a fixing tool 9 b such as a screw. .

<Detailed explanation of each part>
As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of long members 5 (distance U) of the mounting frame 2 is composed of an upper member 5a and a lower member 5b, and the upper member 5a has a width S, a length T1, and a height H1. The lower member 5b is a rectangular cross-sectional material having a width S, a length T2, and a height H2, and has a relationship of T1 <T2.

  Further, the vicinity of the upper end 5c and the lower end 5d of the pair of long members 5 is fixed to the short member 6 having a rectangular cross section, and two pairs of short members 6 correspond to the upper member 5a and the lower member 5b, respectively. Since it is added as a reinforcing material at an intermediate position, the mounting frame 2 has a ladder shape (substantially rectangular as an outer shape).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main body cabinet 3 has a width U1 and a height H3 so that the upper end portion 7a of the main body cabinet 3 is at the same level as the upper end portion 5e (height H2) of the lower member 5b. Since they are formed, there is a relationship of H2 = H3.

  Since the cross-sectional shape of the lower member 5b of the mounting frame 2 and the cross-sectional shape (width S, depth T2) of the recess 7 are the same shape, the lower member 5b and the recess 7 are fitted to each other so that the left-right direction of the main body cabinet 3 is fitted. Can be controlled.

  4 and 5, the size of the mirror cabinet 4 is a width U2 and a height H4, and the fitting portion 17 formed on the back surface 16 of the mirror cabinet 4 is fitted with a hook portion 15a. For this purpose, a recess 17a having a width M, a height N, and a depth V is formed, and an adhering portion 17d parallel to the bottom surface 17c from the edge 17b of the recess 17a. A mounting hole 17e such as a pair of screws is formed in the fixing portion 17d.

  The hook 15 provided on the mounting frame 2 has an L-shaped hook portion 15a having a width M, a height N, and a thickness V and a fixing portion 15b fixed to the mounting frame 2 in an S-shape. 15a and the fixing | fixed part 15b are formed in parallel. The fixing portion 15b is provided with a pair of attachment holes 15c.

  Here, the relationship between the shapes of the mounting frame 2 and the vanity table 1 (the main body cabinet 3 and the mirror cabinet 4) in front view is U + S <U1, U + S <U2, and H1 + H2 <H3 + H4.

<Consideration of the stability of the vanity 1>
As shown in FIG. 6, the vanity table 1 attached to the mounting frame 2 (the total weight F2 of the main body cabinet 3 and the mirror cabinet 4 is set to the center point P with respect to the corner where the wall surface W and the floor surface intersect mechanically. , The distance K between the center of gravity and the center point P) and the counterclockwise moment M1 of the force F1 applied to the fixture 9a of the mounting frame 2 are balanced.

Here, since the vanity 1 is placed on the floor, considering the moment M3 due to the reaction force from the floor,
M2 = M1 + M3, M1 = F1x (H1 + H2), and M2 = F2xK.

However, since the floor is sufficiently strong, it can be considered that M2≈M3.
M1 = F1x (H1 + H2) ≈0 (zero), and F1≈0 (zero).

  As described above, since the load is not statically applied to the fixing tool 9a fixed to the wall W, the vanity table 1 is sufficiently stable only by hitting two screws as the fixing tool 9a on the mounting frame 2. It turns out that it is in a state.

<Effects of how to attach the vanity to the wall>
As described above, the mounting frame 2 is formed in a size that can be accommodated in the front projection area of the vanity 1, so that the vanity cannot be seen from the outside, so that the appearance of the vanity is improved and commercial value is obtained. Will increase.

  Since the concave portion provided in the main body cabinet can be fitted to the pair of left and right long members of the mounting frame, the horizontal alignment of the main body cabinet can be naturally performed, so that the workability is improved.

Therefore, workability is improved.

In addition, since the holes for fixing to the wall can be minimized, the wall surface is not damaged so much that replacement of the fixing wooden crosspiece at the time of renovation is not required, so that the commercial value is increased. The hook 15 provided on the frame 2 and the fitting portion 17 formed on the back surface 16 of the mirror cabinet are fitted together. By forming the width M of the hook 15 and the fitting portion 17 to the same dimension, The temporary mounting position in the left-right direction of the mirror cabinet 4 can be set naturally. Therefore, the mounting position of the mirror cabinet can be easily adjusted and the workability is improved.

<Second Embodiment of the Present Invention>
