Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom unit provided with a counter in a bathroom.

  Conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, as a support structure for a counter installed in a bathroom, the counter load is cantilevered by a support material attached to the bathroom wall surface (separated from the washing floor). Support structures that support the shape are known.

  In the cantilever support structure, for example, when the load applied to the counter is large, such as when sitting on the counter, there is a risk that the support strength of the counter is weak and the deflection of the counter tip is large, or the counter falls off.

As a support structure that strengthens the support strength of the counter, a support structure that transmits a load applied to the counter to the washing floor via a support leg is known, as described in Patent Document 2.
However, because the support legs are exposed on the floor of the washing place, it becomes an obstacle when putting your feet under the counter, and it also gets in the way when cleaning the floor of the washing place under the counter, so the design is not neat, It is desirable that the support legs are not exposed on the floor of the washroom.

As a configuration in which the support legs are not exposed on the floor surface of the washing place, Patent Document 3 discloses a view in which a lower cover extending to the washing place floor surface is provided below the counter and the support legs are covered with the lower cover.
However, since the lower cover extends to the floor of the washing area, the feet are not placed under the counter, the area of the washing area is reduced, and the water stop structure between the lower cover and the washing area floor It is desirable that the lower cover does not extend to the floor of the washing place because of the complexity of the process.

  The 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. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the 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 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 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 counter 70 so that the seating surface 71 is divided into two in the short direction of the 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 a slope as described above to the portion of the counter 70 where the seated person is seated, sufficient drainage can be achieved even if the groove width of the drainage channel 72a is not so wide and the groove depth is not so deep. Sex 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. 11, the user can go in and out of the bathtub 1 while sitting on the seating surface 71 of the counter 70.

  When entering the bathtub 1, first, sitting on the seating surface 71 of the counter 70 facing the washing place 2 side, the body is directed to the bathtub 1 side and attached to the wall panel 6 wall surface above the short side rim 12 b with the right hand. Hold the handrail 56 and hold the front end 41 of the counter 70 with the left hand to support the body, put both legs into the inner tank 11 in order from the right leg, and then put the upper body from the seating surface 71 of the counter 70 into the inner tank 11 Transfer to.

  When leaving the bathtub 1, the upper body is first transferred from the inner tank 11 to the 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 washroom 2 side.

  Further, the short side rim 12a opposite to the short side rim 12b provided with the 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. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the user can go in and out of the bathtub 1 while sitting on the short side rim 12 a.

  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.

  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.

  According to the present embodiment, the bathtub 1 can be moved in and out from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1, but a short side rim that is wide enough for a person to sit on the transfer is provided only on one side. Therefore, in the limited bathtub installation space, the shortening of the longitudinal dimension a of the inner tank 11 can be suppressed as compared with the case where wide rim surfaces are provided at both ends of the bathtub. As a result, comfortable bathing is possible without giving a cramped feeling of bathing.

  Since the counter 3 is provided on the side of the other short side rim 12b that is narrow for sitting, the counter 3 can be used to enter and exit the inner tank 11 from the other end side. The counter 3 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, it does not give a tight feeling of the washing place.

  The 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 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 center in the short direction of the counter 70. Therefore, even if the surface of the seating surface 71 is easily slipped by soapy water, the seater can sit down. It is possible to sit stably without slipping off the surface 71.

  Since the slope is inclined upward from the center in the short direction of the seating surface 71 toward the front end of the washing place 2, and the drainage channel 72 b is formed between the front end of the counter 70 and the seating surface 71. It is possible to suppress unpleasant sensations due to the hot water used for washing the body and washing the hair, which has been washed away, falling from the front end of the counter 70 and being applied to the calf and legs of the seated person.

  The hot water that has been washed away by washing and washing the hair on the counter 70 flows into drainage channels 72a to 72c formed at positions lower than the seating surface 71. It can suppress staying around a person's buttocks, and does not give a discomfort to a seated person.

  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 counter 70 can be stored in the washing place 2 not only through the drainage groove 47 provided at the boundary between the counter 70 and the bathtub 1 but also through the drainage channel 72e provided between the basin unit 49 and the seating surface 71. It can be dropped on the floor and drained from the 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. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the front end portion of the counter according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  This counter is configured by combining a counter top plate 61 and a counter lower cover 62. On the upper surface of the counter top plate 61, a seating surface and a basin rest are provided. The front end 61a of the counter top plate 61 is bent downward and has an L-shaped cross section. The front end portion 62a of the counter lower cover 62 is engaged with the front end portion 61a of the counter top plate 61 from below. The grip 41 is configured by the front end 61 a of the counter top plate 61 and the front end 62 a of the counter lower cover 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. 13, the gripping portion 41 can be used when moving on the seating surface 71 toward the bath 1 when transferring and bathing from the seating surface 71 to the bath 1. The seated person can move sideways on the counter 70 by gripping the grip 41 and slightly lifting his / her waist while sitting on the seating surface 71 facing the washing room 2 side. Since the seated person can naturally hold the grip portion 41 in a posture sitting on the counter 70 facing the washing place 2 side without taking an unreasonable posture such as twisting the body, the lateral movement at the time of transfer described above can be easily performed. .

  Further, the grasping portion 41 can be used in the operation of grasping the grasping portion 41 from the seated state shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, in the state where the counter 70 is seated on the seating surface 71 near the basin unit 49, the left hand is gripped by the right hand during the operation of extending the left hand to the shower head 22 held by the wall panel 7. It is also possible to grab the part 41 to support the body.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating another specific example of the gripping portion 41 of the counter 70.

  In the counter main body 75 of the counter 70, the front end facing the washing place functions as the grip 41, and the seated person sitting on the seating surface facing the washing place turns his fingertip around the back of the grip 41 and holds the grip 41. Can be gripped as if wrapping. 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 recess 41 a extending along the longitudinal direction of the counter 70 is formed in a portion of the back surface of the grip portion 41 where the seated person's fingertip 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. A distance (thickness) C from the upper surface (sitting surface) of the 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.

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

FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the seating surface of the counter 3 of this example.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of a boundary portion between the counter 3 and the bathtub 1.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the end portion of the counter body 43 on the bathtub 1 side as seen from the bathtub 1 side.

  In the counter main body 43 of the 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. 8, 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 counter 3. A rib-like side wall 52 (see FIG. 10) that protrudes to the back side is integrally provided at the edge of each of the saws 45 and 46, and the lower end of the side wall 52 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. 9, the drainage groove 47 is opposed to the bus apron 54 by forming a slight gap with the bus 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. 8, 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.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the rear end portion of the counter 70 viewed from the washing place 2 side is adjacent to the wall surface of the wall panel 6, and the end portion on the bathtub side of the left and right ends is adjacent to the bathtub 1 or the bath apron, The opposite end is adjacent to the wall surface of the wall panel 7 facing the bathtub 1 across the washing floor 2.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the support member 63 is horizontally parallel to the wall panel 6 that extends from the short side of the bathtub 1 and is orthogonal to the long side of the bathtub 1 and the bath apron 13. And a counter receiving portion 63a for receiving a load applied to the counter 70, and disposed at one end of the counter receiving portion 63a, and projecting downward to transmit the load applied to the counter 70 to the ground. The support leg 63b is formed in a substantially inverted L shape.

  The counter receiving portion 63a of the support member 63 is made of, for example, a channel material (C-shaped cross-section member) made of stainless steel in consideration of strength and rust prevention. The cross-sectional dimensions of the counter receiving part 63a are, for example, 40 mm high and 40 mm wide. The counter receiving portion 63a may be a square pipe or an angle material (L-shaped cross-section member). Here, the counter receiving portion 63 a is configured to be disposed on the front end side of the counter 70.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the support leg portion 63b of the support member 63 is fixed to the counter receiving portion 63a by welding. The support leg 63b includes a round pipe 631, a hexagon nut 632 welded and fixed to the round pipe 631, a hexagon bolt 633 screwed into the hexagon nut 632, a hexagon nut 634 screwed into the hexagon bolt 633, and a hexagon bolt. It is comprised from the rubber cap 635 which protects the head of 633.

  By configuring the support leg portion 63b as described above, the height from the support leg placement surface to the counter receiving portion 63a can be adjusted. In addition, since the head of the hexagon bolt 633 is protected by the rubber cap 635, the gap between the lower end of the support leg (that is, the head of the hexagon bolt 633) and the support leg placement surface generated when a load is applied to the support leg. It can prevent the sound from sounding. Further, by tightening the hexagon nut 634 after adjusting the height of the hexagon bolt 633, the height of the support leg can be fixed at the adjusted position.

As shown in FIG. 19, the lower end of the support leg 63 b is a support leg receiving member 64 arranged so as to straddle the connecting part between the washing floor 2 and the bathtub-side waterproof pan 14 arranged on the lower side of the bathtub 1. It is mounted on.
As another embodiment, the lower end of the support leg 63b may be placed directly on the bank 2a of the washing floor 2. Alternatively, the lower end of the support leg 63b may be placed directly on the bathroom unit installation surface (ground), and the lower end of the support leg 63b is arranged on the back side of the bath apron and not exposed in the bathroom. It only has to be.

  An end 63c of the counter receiving portion 63a opposite to the support leg 63b is fixed to the wall panel 7 via a receiving angle 65. Note that 63c may be directly fixed to the wall panel 7.

  The wall panel 6 extending from the wall panel 7 to the bathtub 1 side is provided with a cantilevered cantilever support 66 having one end attached and fixed to the wall surface of the wall panel 6, and the other end of the cantilever support 66 is Is placed on the counter receiving portion 63a. The counter connecting material 67 is installed at a place where the cantilever support material 66 is not arranged, and connects the counter 70 and the counter receiving portion 63a. Alternatively, the cantilever support 66 and the counter connection member 67 may be eliminated, and the counter 70 may be placed on the counter receiving portion 63a.

  With the above support structure, the load applied to the counter 70 is transmitted to the wall surface 6 via the cantilever support material 66, and at the same time, the support leg portion 63b and the support leg portion 63b of the support material 63 are on the opposite end portions. Since the signal is transmitted to the washing floor 2 and the wall surface 7 through 63c, the support strength can be increased compared to the cantilevered support structure in which the counter 70 is supported by the cantilever support 66 alone. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, it has sufficient strength even when seated on the counter 70.

  Since the support member 63 is disposed on the front end side of the counter 70, the load applied to the cantilever support member 66 can be reduced, the number of cantilever support members can be reduced, or the cantilever support member can be reduced. The strength can be reduced. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the cantilever support material by arranging a plurality of support materials 63 and receiving a load applied to the counter 70 not only on the counter front end side but also on the counter back side.

  The counter 70 is disposed as a whole away from the washing floor 2 and includes a counter top plate 61 and a counter lower cover 62 so as to cover the counter receiving portion 63a.

  The bath apron 13 is formed with a notch 13a for penetrating the counter receiving portion 63a of the support material 63 to the back side of the apron, and the support leg portion 63b is placed on the back side of the bathtub 1 as shown in FIG. The bathtub 1 and the bath apron 13 are installed so as to cover the support leg 63b. Around the notch 13a of the bath apron, a bowl-shaped fold 13b is arranged to prevent water from entering the back side of the bath apron.

  With the above configuration, since the support material that receives the load applied to the counter 70 is not exposed on the washing floor, the support material becomes an obstacle when the foot is placed below the counter, or is supported when the washing floor 2 below the counter is cleaned. The material does not get in the way. In addition, the design is neat and the washing area can be used widely.

  With the above configuration, the counter lower cover 62 does not extend to the washing floor 2, so that it is possible to put a foot below the counter. In addition, the design is neat and the washing area can be used widely.
