  However, the counter with the stop cock has a problem that it is difficult to open and close since the valve operating portion cannot be seen from the outside of the counter.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a counter with a faucet that is easy to open and close while arranging a faucet inside the counter to improve its appearance.

  The means adopted by the present invention according to claim 1 for facilitating the opening / closing operation while arranging a stop cock inside the counter is surrounded by a counter body and a cover disposed under the counter body. In the counter structure where the stop cock is placed in the storage space inside the counter, a recess with a concave bottom is provided on the surface side of the cover, and the opening and closing operation part of the stop cock is inserted through the insertion hole opened in the concave bottom of the recess It is a counter with a stop cock characterized by having exposed in a crevice. In addition, in order to make the opening / closing operation part less visible from the outside of the counter and to make it more attractive, it is preferable to provide the concave part by opening downward on the lower surface side of the cover.

  In order to expose the opening / closing operation part at a predetermined position of the recess, the means adopted by the present invention according to claim 2 is configured such that a nut is screwed from the outside of the counter to the mounting screw part of the water stop cock inserted into the insertion hole from the inside of the counter. The counter with a stop cock according to claim 1, wherein the counter is attached and the periphery of the insertion hole is sandwiched between the main body of the stop cock and a nut.

  The counter with a stop cock according to the first aspect of the present invention has a stop cock arranged inside the counter to improve the appearance, while exposing the opening / closing operation section in the recess on the surface side of the cover, The opening / closing operation unit can be easily operated.

  The counter with a stop cock according to the second aspect of the present invention can expose the opening / closing operation portion at a predetermined position of the recess by sandwiching the periphery of the insertion hole of the recess with the main body of the stop cock and the nut. The positional deviation between the counter and the stop cock can be eliminated.

  A counter with a stop cock according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present invention counter”) will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.
