In the bathroom counter 70, the rear end portion 42 viewed from the washing place 2 side is adjacent to the wall surface of the wall panel 6, and is provided so as to protrude substantially horizontally from the rear end portion 42 to the washing place 2 side.

  The rear end 42 of the bathroom counter 70 is located on the extension of the long side edge outside the short side rim 12b in the bathtub 1, and is the width between the rear end 42 and the front end 41 facing the washing place 2 side. d is larger than the width c of the short side rim 12b, for example, 430 mm.

  The bathroom counter 70 includes a counter body 75 made of, for example, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) in consideration of strength, waterproofness, and the like. The surface of the counter body 75 below the water tap 4 with shelves functions as a basin unit 49. With the basin placed on the basin unit 49, the water outlet of the currant 17 faces the basin, and hot water discharged from the water outlet can be supplied to the basin.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the bathroom counter 70.

  Adjacent to the basin unit 49, a seating surface 71 provided integrally with the counter body 75, and drainage channels 72 a to 72 e formed around the seating surface 71 lower than the seating surface 71 are provided.

  The seating surface 71 is provided at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the bathtub rim 12. Further, in order to improve the designability, the feeling when sitting, and the like, the seating surface 71 is configured by pasting or embedding a material (for example, ABS resin material) different from the counter main body 75 made of FRP.

  The wall panel 6 behind the bathroom counter 70 functions as a backrest of a seated person seated on the seating surface 71. In the wall panel 6, a backrest portion 52 made of, for example, ABS resin is provided at the portion where the seated person's back contacts, as in the seating surface 71.

  A concave drainage groove 47 is provided between the counter body 75 and the bathtub 1 at a position lower than the upper surface of the bathtub rim 12, the seating surface 71, and the drainage channels 72a to 72e. A slight gap is formed between the drainage groove 47 and the bathtub 1. The length of the drainage groove 47 is substantially the same as or shorter than the width d of the counter body 75. The width of the drainage groove 47 is about 40 mm. The drainage groove 47 is provided with a downward slope of, for example, 1/50 in the direction from the rear end adjacent to the wall panel 6 to the front end facing the washing place 2.

  Drainage channels 72 d and 72 e are formed between the seating surface 71 and the basin unit 49 along the short direction of the bathroom counter 70. The drainage channels 72 d and 72 e are formed as grooves lower than the seating surface 71 and the basin placement part 49. The drainage channels 72d and 72e are provided with a downward slope in a direction from the wall panel 6 side (rear end side) to the washing station 2 side (front end side), and the front end of the cleaning station 2 side in the drainage channel 72e is an open end. Therefore, the hot water flowing into the drainage channels 72d and 72e flows toward the washing place 2 and falls to the floor of the washing place 2.

  A drainage channel 72 a is formed along the longitudinal direction of the bathroom counter 70 so that the seating surface 71 is divided into two in the short direction of the bathroom counter 70. A drainage channel 72 b is formed on the front end side of the seating surface 71, and a drainage channel 72 c is formed on the rear end side of the seating surface 71. The drainage channels 72b and 72c are formed substantially parallel to the drainage channel 72a. One end (the right end in FIG. 3) of each of the drainage channels 72 a to 72 c is connected to the drainage channels 72 d and 72 e, and the other end (the left end in FIG. 3) is connected to the drainage groove 47.

  The drainage channels 72a and 72c are inclined downward in the direction from the drainage channels 72d and 72e toward the drainage groove 47 side. The drainage channel 72b has a downward slope in the direction from the center in the longitudinal direction toward the drainage channels 72d and 72e, and the downward gradient in the direction from the center in the longitudinal direction toward the drainage groove 47.

  In the respective seating surfaces 71 divided by the drainage channels 72a, the portions closest to the drainage channels 72b and 72c are substantially the same height, and from that portion toward the drainage channel 72a and in the direction toward the drainage groove 47. There is a downward slope. In the seating surface 71, the portion closest to the basin unit 49 is given a downward slope of, for example, 1/32 toward the drainage channel 72a, and the portion closest to the drainage groove 47 is directed toward the drainage channel 72a. The slope is 1/16. On the seating surface 71, a portion that is closest to the drainage channel 72 a has a gentle downward slope (for example, 1/180 or 1/90) toward the drainage groove 47.

  By providing the slope as described above to the portion where the seated person sits in the bathroom counter 70, it is sufficient even if the groove width of the drainage channel 72a is not so wide and the groove depth is not so deep. Drainage is obtained. Therefore, by making the groove width of the drainage channel 72a narrow, it is possible to make it difficult for the seated person's buttocks to feel uncomfortable, and because the drainage channel 72a can be made shallower, the cleanability can be improved.

  According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the user can go in and out of the bathtub 1 while sitting on the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70.

  When entering the bathtub 1, first of all, facing the washing area 2 side, sitting on the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70, with the body facing the bathtub 1 side, attached to the wall panel 6 wall surface above the short side rim 12b with the right hand The left hand holds the front end 41 of the bathroom counter 70 and supports the body with the left hand, and then puts both legs into the inner tank 11 in order from the right leg, and then puts the upper body on the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70 Transfer into the tank 11.

  When leaving the bathtub 1, the upper body is first transferred from the inner tank 11 to the bathroom counter 70 and seated on the seating surface 71, and then the body is taken out from the inner tank 11 in order from the left leg. Turn to the washing area 2 side.

  The short side rim 12a opposite to the short side rim 12b provided with the bathroom counter 70 is wider than the short side rim 12b and has a width b (for example, 305 mm) sufficient for a person to sit on. Yes. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the user can go in and out of the bathtub 1 while sitting on the short side rim 12 a. Here, as shown in FIG. 33, a bath lid hook 700 for standing and storing a bath lid 710 on the bathroom wall surface 8 on the short side rim 12a side is attached and fixed. Actually, the user is seated on the short side rim 12a with the bath lid 710 standing upright.

  When entering the bathtub 1, first, facing the washing area 2 side, sitting on the short rim 12a, then facing the body toward the bathtub 1, holding the handrail 57 attached to the wall panel 5 wall surface with the left hand and holding the body After supporting both legs in the inner tank 11 in order from the left leg, the upper body is transferred into the inner tank 11 from the short side rim 12a. At this time, the handrail 57 is attached to a position closer to the short side rim 12b side than the short side rim 12a (the space space between the inner tank end on the short side rim 12a side and the end of the handrail 57 is Therefore, it is arranged so as to be larger than the space between the inner tank end on the short side rim 12b side and the other end of the handrail 57). Since the space is sufficiently formed between the rim 12a and the short rim 12a, the transfer operation can be performed smoothly. This space is preferable because the handrail 57 can be gripped with the elbow placed on the bathtub rim 12, and the user can firmly support the body. At this time, the user faces the front with respect to the edge 12b (wall surface 6) in the bathtub.

  When leaving the bathtub 1, the upper body is first transferred from the inner tank 11 to the short rim 12 a and seated on the short rim 12 a, and then both legs are moved from the inner tank 11 in order from the right leg. Turn your body to the washroom 2 side. Even during transfer from the inner tank 11 to the short side rim 12a, the handrail 57 is attached at a position closer to the short side rim 12b than the short side rim 12a. Since a sufficient space is formed between the two, the transfer operation can be performed smoothly. This space is preferable because the handrail 57 can be easily gripped with the elbow placed on the bathtub rim 12 and the user can firmly support the body.

  In addition, the shape of the boundary part used as the boundary of the short side rim 12a upper surface and an inner tank is formed in the substantially linear shape except a corner part by planar view. In other words, the user sits on the short side rim 12a from the washing area and moves to the inner tank 11 from the short side rim 12a, so that the user moves horizontally with the heel portion placed on the short side rim 12a. Occurs. In such a case, the shape of the boundary serving as the boundary between the upper surface of the short rim 12a and the inner tank end is formed in a substantially straight line (parallel to the wall surface 8) except for the corner in plan view. It is possible to prevent the collar portion from being sandwiched between the short side rims 12a and the user from falling into the inner tank 11 by mistake.

  On the contrary, when transferring from the inner tank 11 to the short side rim 12a and moving to the washing place, there is an operation of moving the heel part on the short side rim 12a. It is possible to prevent the user from being pinched or falling into the inner tank 11 by mistake. That is, when the shape of the boundary portion that is the boundary between the upper surface of the short side rim 12a and the inner tub end portion is curved (not parallel to the wall surface 8), the contact area between the flange portion and the edge rim 12a changes, There is a risk of being pinched or accidentally dropped, which is not preferable.

  For example, if a person bathes on the left or right side of the body where one half of the body is incapacitated or one side of the body is inaccessible, either the left or right side of the body depends on whether the inaccessible part is the left or right side If the side is turned in the direction of the transfer operation, it becomes different whether stable and easy transfer operation can be performed. In the present embodiment, two directions are ensured for the transfer operation between the bathtub and the washing place in order to meet the demand.

  In FIGS. 11 to 18, for example, a person whose left half is inconvenient or has a non-free part in the left half (left leg or left hand) transfers from the washing place 2 to the bathtub 1 and from the bathtub 1 to the washing place 2. It is a schematic diagram showing a series of operation | movement.

  First, after sitting on the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70 facing the washing room 2 side, as shown in FIG. 11, the body is directed to the bathtub 1 side and attached to the wall panel 6 wall surface above the short side rim 12b with the right hand. The right leg is put into the inner tank 11 while holding the handrail 56 and supporting the body.

  Then, while supporting the right leg freely movable and the right hand holding the handrail 56, as shown in FIG. 12, the left leg is placed in the inner tub 11, and the upper body is placed from the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70 to the bathtub 1 side. And sit on the insides of the corners of the short side rim 12b and the long side rim 12c on the washing side. And while grasping the handrail 57 with a right hand, as shown in FIG.

  At this time, since the handrail 57 is attached to a position closer to the short rim 12b side than the short rim 12a, the handrail 57 can be easily gripped even in a state of sitting on the counter 70. Unlike the case of the short-side rim 12a described above, when the user moves from the short-side rim 12b to the inner tank, the user is in a state of leaning with respect to the bathtub because the user is placing the collar on the counter 70. It will be transferred to the inner tank. That is, since a space is generated at the corner between the wall surface 5 and the wall surface 6 that are arranged substantially vertically in a plan view, the handrail 57 can be grasped in an easy posture with the elbows on the short side rim 12b. It is possible and preferable because the user can hold the body firmly.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the handrail 57 is attached at a position closer to the short side rim 12b than the short side rim 12a. However, when transferring from the inner tank to the short side rim 12a, the short side rim 12a is used. As long as a space for moving the hand in a state where the handrail 57 is grasped when transferring from the inner tank to the inner tank can be secured in advance, the handrail may be arranged at the approximate center with respect to the long side of the inner tank. Also in this case, the handrail is preferably not extended to the position of the short side rim 12a.

   When leaving the bathtub 1, first raise the body by grabbing the handrail 58 attached to the inner wall surface of the inner tub 11 with the right hand, and as shown in FIG. As shown, the body is directed toward the wall panel 6 and the short side rim 12b. That is, the bathing posture is reversed from that in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the long side rim 12c is grasped with the right hand, and the body is raised to sit on the short side rim 12a. Since the short-side rim 12a has a width b (for example, 305 mm) sufficient for a person to sit down, the short-side rim 12a can sit comfortably and stably while facing the wall panel 6 side. That is, it is only necessary to wake up from the bathing posture shown in FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 17, while holding and supporting the handrail 59 attached to the wall panel 8 with the right hand, the right leg is first transferred from the inner tub 11 to the washing place 2, and then, as shown in FIG. 18, the body The left leg is transferred from the inner tank 11 to the washing place 2 while facing the washing place 2 side.

  In the series of transfer operations described above, the transfer operation can be performed easily without using the non-free left body or the left leg or left hand to support the body.

  Next, in FIGS. 19 to 26, for example, a person whose right half is incapacitated or incapable of being in the right half (right leg or right hand) is transferred from the wash area 2 to the bathtub 1 and from the bathtub 1 to the wash area 2. It is a schematic diagram showing a series of operation | movement which transfers to.

  First, after sitting on the wide short side rim 12a facing the washing area 2 side, as shown in FIG. 19, the body is directed toward the bathtub 1, and the left hand is supported by holding the handrail 57 with the left hand. Put in the inner tank 11.

  Then, while supporting the left leg that can be freely moved and the left hand holding the handrail 57, as shown in FIG. 20, the right leg is placed in the inner tank 11, and then the body is placed in the inner tank 11 as shown in FIG. Shrug.

   When leaving the bathtub 1, first raise the body by grabbing the handrail 58 attached to the inner wall surface of the inner tub 11 with the left hand, and turn the body once toward the washing place 2 as shown in FIG. As shown, the body is directed toward the wall panel 8 and the short side rim 12a. That is, the bathing posture is reversed from FIG.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 24, the body is raised by holding the long rim 12c with the left hand, and as shown in FIG. 25, while holding the front end 41 of the bathroom counter 70 with the left hand to support it, The left leg is transferred from the inner tub 11 to the washing place 2, and then the right leg is transferred from the inner tub 11 to the washing place 2 as shown in FIG.

  When raising the body from the inner tub and moving the buttocks onto the counter 70, the user can stand by grabbing the handrail 57 with the elbow placed on the short rim 12b. Also in this case, since the user is in a state of placing the buttock on the counter 70, the user is transferred to the counter 70 in an inclined state with respect to the bathtub (the user moves the edge 12a (wall surface 8) to the bathtub. Against the front). That is, since a space is generated at the corner between the wall surface 5 and the wall surface 6 that are arranged substantially vertically in a plan view, the handrail can be grasped in an easy posture with the elbows on the short side rim 12b. And the user can support the body firmly.

  In the series of transfer operations described above, the transfer operation can be easily performed without using the right hand or the right leg or right hand to support the body.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the left and right halves can access the bathtub 1 from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1 in order to make it easy to enter and exit the bathtub. Since there is only a short side rim that is wide enough for a person to sit on the side of the transfer, the inner side of the tub is limited compared to the case where wide rim surfaces are provided at both ends of the bathtub. The shortening of the longitudinal dimension a of the tank 11 can be suppressed. As a result, comfortable bathing is possible without giving a cramped feeling of bathing.

  Since the bathroom counter 70 is provided on the side of the other short side rim 12b that is narrow for sitting, the bathroom counter 70 can be used to enter and exit the inner tank 11 from the other end side as described above. Become. The bathroom counter 70 is provided at the end on the wall panel 6 side in the washing place 2, and since both ends of the bathtub rim do not protrude to the washing place side as in Patent Document 2, it does not give a tight feeling of the washing place.

  The bathroom counter 70 is not limited to being used for entering and exiting the bathtub 1. In the state where it is seated on the seating surface 71 of the bathroom counter 70, it is possible to wash and wash the hair using the water tap 4 with a shelf and the shower head 22.

  As described above, the seating surface 71 has a downward slope in the direction toward the short side of the bathroom counter 70. Therefore, even if the seating surface 71 is easily slipped with soapy water, It is possible to sit stably without slipping off the seating surface 71.

  The seating surface 71 has a slope inclined upward from the center in the short direction of the seating surface 71 toward the front end portion on the washing room 2 side, and a drainage channel 72b is formed between the front end portion of the bathroom counter 70 and the seating surface 71. Therefore, the unpleasant sensation due to the hot water used for washing the body and washing the hair, which has been washed away, falls from the front end portion of the bathroom counter 70 and is applied to the calf and feet of the seated person.

  The hot water that has been washed away by washing and washing the hair on the bathroom counter 70 flows into the drainage channels 72a to 72c formed at positions lower than the seating surface 71, so that the dirty hot water is seated on the seating surface 71. It is possible to suppress staying around the buttocks of the seated person, so that the seated person is not uncomfortable.

  The hot water in the drainage channels 72a to 72c flows toward the drainage channel 47 and flows into the drainage channel 47 formed at a position lower than the drainage channels 72a to 72c. Since the drainage groove 47 is inclined downward toward the washing place 2, the hot water flowing into the drainage groove 47 flows toward the washing place 2 and falls to the floor of the washing place 2. Since the drainage groove 47 is provided at a position lower than the bathtub rim 12, the drainage groove 47 has a relatively wide width (about 40 mm), and flows through the drainage channels 72a to 72c. Waste water does not enter the inner tank 11.

  Drainage that has fallen from the drainage channel 47 to the floor of the washroom 2 flows into a drainage port (not shown) provided near the boundary between the bathtub 1 and the washroom 2 floor along a drainage gradient formed on the floor surface. Drained from the bathroom. The drainage groove 47 is provided at a position shifted laterally with respect to the seating surface 71, and is located between the point where the sewage that has flowed through the drainage groove 47 falls on the floor of the washing place 2 and the drainage port formed on the floor of the washing place 2. Can prevent the seated person's foot from being located and the sewage from touching the seated person's foot.

  The drainage groove 47 is not a narrow slit shape, but is provided in a relatively wide and shallow concave shape, so that the cleaning property is good and the hand is not pinched. Further, since the drainage groove 47 is a concave shape that does not protrude upward, the drainage groove 47 does not become an obstacle and smoothly moves when it is transferred from the seating surface 71 to the bathtub 1 or from the bathtub 1 to the seating surface 71. You can transfer.

  Drainage channels 72d and 72e are provided between the basin unit 49 and the seating surface 71 as grooves formed at positions lower than the basin unit 49 and the seating surface 71, and the drainage channels 72d and 72e. The hot water that has flowed into the flow flows toward the washing place 2 and falls to the floor of the washing place 2. Therefore, the sewage overflowing from the basin on the basin unit 49 (hot water generated when washing a towel or washing the face in the basin) does not flow into the seating surface 71, giving the seated person an uncomfortable feeling. Absent.

  The hot water on the bathroom counter 70 can be washed by a drainage channel 72e provided between the basin unit 49 and the seating surface 71 in addition to the drainage groove 47 provided at the boundary between the bathroom counter 70 and the bathtub 1. It can be dropped on the second floor and drained from the bathroom counter 70. Thereby, even if it does not make the groove depth of drainage channels 72b, 72c, and 72d so deep, sufficient drainage performance can be secured without overflowing hot water from these drainage channels 72b, 72c, and 72d. Since the groove depths of the drainage channels 72b, 72c, and 72d can be reduced, the cleanability of the drainage channels 72b, 72c, and 72d is improved.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the front end portion of the bathroom counter according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  This bathroom counter is configured by combining an upper main body 61 and a lower main body 62. On the upper surface of the upper main body 61, a seating surface and a basin rest are provided. The front end 61a of the upper main body 61 is bent downward and has an L-shaped cross section. The front end 62a of the lower main body 62 is engaged with the front end 61a of the upper main body 61 from below. The grip 41 is constituted by the front end 61 a of the upper main body 61 and the front end 62 a of the lower main body 62.

  The gripping part 41 faces the washing place, and a seated person who faces the washing place and sits on the seating surface can grip the gripping part 41 by wrapping the fingertip around the back side of the gripping part 41. In order to make it easier to grip the gripping part 41 in a state where the seated person faces the washing area and sits on the seating surface, the thickness A of the gripping part 41 is designed to be, for example, 30 mm or more and 55 mm or less.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 29, the gripping portion 41 can be used when moving on the seating surface 71 toward the bathtub 1 when transferring and bathing from the seating surface 71 to the bathtub 1. The seated person can move sideways on the bathroom counter 70 by holding the grip 41 and slightly lifting his / her waist while sitting on the seating surface 71 facing the washing area 2 side. Since the seated person can naturally hold the grip portion 41 while sitting on the bathroom counter 70 without facing an unreasonable posture such as twisting the body, the lateral movement at the time of transfer described above can be easily performed. Yes.

  In addition, the gripper 41 can be used in the operation of grasping the gripper 41 from the seated state shown in FIG. 30 and standing up with the waist lifted as shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 32, with the right hand in the operation of extending the left hand to the shower head 22 held on the wall panel 7 while sitting on the seating surface 71 near the basin unit 49 in the bathroom counter 70, It is also possible to support the body by grasping the grip portion 41.

  FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram illustrating another specific example of the grip portion 41 of the bathroom counter 70.

  In the counter body 75 of the bathroom counter 70, the front end facing the washing area functions as the grip 41, and the seated person sitting on the seating surface facing the washing area turns his fingertip around the back of the grip 41 and holds the grip. 41 can be gripped. In order to make it easier to grip the gripping part 41 in a state where the seated person faces the washing area and sits on the seating surface, the thickness A of the gripping part 41 is designed to be, for example, 30 mm or more and 55 mm or less.

  Further, a recessed portion 41 a extending along the longitudinal direction of the bathroom counter 70 is formed at a portion of the back surface of the grip portion 41 where the fingertip of the seated person is applied. A distance B from the front end surface of the grip 41 to the center of the recess 41a is, for example, 20 to 40 mm. The distance (thickness) C from the upper surface (sitting surface) of the bathroom counter 70 to the recess 41a is, for example, 5 to 20 mm. By forming such a concave portion 41a on the back surface of the grip portion 41, a fingertip is applied to the concave portion 41a when the seated person grips the grip portion 41, so that the grip portion 41a can be firmly gripped.

  It should be noted that, similarly to the grip portion 41, the fingertips are wrapped around the side plate portion (for example, bath apron) arranged in the vertical direction between the upper surface of the long rim 12c on the washing space 2 side and the washing space floor 2. You may provide the holding part which is not shown in figure which can be gripped so that it may come. The grip portion formed on the side plate portion is formed in a substantially horizontal direction from the vicinity of the front end portion 41 of the counter 70 to the short side rim 12a, and is disposed so as to communicate with the grip portion 41 formed on the counter 70. It is preferable. Thus, the gripping part formed on the side plate part and the gripping part 41 formed on the counter 70 are formed on the long side of the bathtub and the front end part 41 of the counter 70, so that it is substantially L in top view. It becomes a letter shape and it becomes easy for the user to transfer while grasping the grip portion.

  Next, another specific example of the bathroom counter will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a seating surface in the bathroom counter 3 of this specific example.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of a boundary portion between the bathroom counter 3 and the bathtub 1.
FIG. 6 shows a state in which the saw is removed from FIG.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a boundary portion between the bathroom counter 3 and the bathtub 1.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an end of the counter body 43 on the bathtub 1 side as viewed from the bathtub 1 side.

  In the counter main body 43 of the bathroom counter 3, a recess is provided in a portion between the portion adjacent to the washbasin placement portion 49 and the drainage groove 47, and a saw 44 is detachably fitted in the recess.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a drainage channel 51 is formed in the recess 48. The slat 44 is composed of two slats 45 and 46 divided into two in the short direction of the bathroom counter 3. A rib-like side wall 52 (see FIG. 8) that protrudes toward the back surface is integrally provided at the edge of each of the saws 45 and 46, and the lower end of the side wall 52 is a convex portion that is partially provided on the bottom surface of the recess 48. By placing on the part, a space for drainage is secured between the drainage channel 51 and the back surface of the slat 44.

  The upper surface of the slat 44 functions as a seating surface, and when the slat 44 is fitted in the recess 48, the seating surface is substantially flush with the upper surface of the counter body 43 around the recess 48, and the seating portion is uneven. Not formed. Further, the seating surface is substantially flush with the upper surface of the basin unit 49. The seating surface is provided at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the bathtub rim 12. The slat 44 is made of, for example, ABS resin, which is a material different from the counter main body 43 made of, for example, FRP.

  Between the counter main body 43 and the bathtub 1, a concave drainage groove 47 that is recessed from the upper surface and the seating surface of the bathtub rim 12 is provided. As shown in FIG. 7, the drainage groove 47 is opposed to the bus apron 54 with a slight gap formed between the drainage groove 47 and the bath apron 54. The length of the drainage groove 47 is substantially the same as or shorter than the width d of the counter body 43. The width of the drainage groove 47 is about 40 mm. The drainage groove 47 is provided with a downward slope of, for example, 1/50 in the direction from the rear end adjacent to the wall panel 6 to the front end facing the washing place 2.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a communication path 53 that connects the drainage channel 51 and the drainage groove 47 is formed in a part of the side wall of the recess 48 on the drainage groove 47 side. The drainage channel 51 has a downward slope of, for example, 1/100 in the direction toward the drainage groove 47.

  On the seating surface, a downward slope of, for example, 1/50 is given in a direction from the counter front end portion 41 and the rear end portion 42 toward the divided portions of the two saws 45 and 46.

  Also in the bathroom counter 3 of this specific example, the seating surface is inclined downward from the front end side and the rear end side toward the center in the short direction of the bathroom counter 3, so that the seated person is on the seating surface. It is possible to sit down stably.

  The hot and cold water that has been washed away by washing and washing hair on the bathroom counter 3 flows into the gap (about 5 mm) between the two slats 45 and 46 due to the above gradient of the top surfaces (sitting surfaces) of the slats 45 and 46. Alternatively, it flows into the gap between the saw blades 45, 46 and the counter body 43, and falls from the gap to the recess 48 (FIG. 6) in which the saw blades 45, 46 are fitted. For this reason, it can suppress that dirty hot water stays around a seated person's buttocks, and does not give a discomfort to a seated person.

  The sewage that has fallen into the recess 48 flows toward the drainage groove 47 formed in the recess 48 and has a downward slope in the direction toward the drainage groove 47, passes through the communication path 53, and passes through the drainage groove 47. Flow into. The dirty water that has flowed into the drainage groove 47 flows toward the washing place 2 and falls to the floor of the washing place 2.

  Further, the counter 70 and the washing place 2 (floor pan) are not necessarily separate and may be integrated. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the cost and to improve the workability by eliminating the support material for the counter.
