Description

  The present invention relates to a wash basin with a seat including a movable storage seat that can be stored in a lower space such as a vanity.

  Conventionally, a washstand having a wash bowl and a lower space provided below the wash bowl, also called a vanity or the like, is opened on the front of the lower space, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 In some cases, a door that can be opened and closed is configured to be openable by a double door opening method. In particular, according to the wash basin of Patent Document 1, in the state in which the bottom plate removably disposed on the inner bottom portion of the lower space is removed while the open / close door on the front surface of the lower space is opened, the wash basin remains as a wheelchair. There is an advantage that it is possible to head.

  However, by making it possible to put the wheelchair into and out of the lower space below the wash basin, there is a problem that the lower space originally used as a storage space becomes a dead space when the wash basin is not used. Therefore, in Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 15, a drawer-type storage box 116 is provided immediately below the wash bowl 121, and the lower space 124 is set as an openable space below the storage box 116. The basin 110 includes a pedestal 110 that is movable and can be stored in the lower space 124 and that can store an appropriate article therein. A wash basin 120 is disclosed which is configured so that even a person with weak legs can be used while sitting facing each other while avoiding dead space.

The seat 110 that can be stored in the lower space 124 of the wash basin 120 disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a seat surface 112 that closes the opening so that the opening can be opened on the upper portion of a box-like seat body 111 that is open at the top.

  It is desirable that the rotation shaft of the connecting member is located between the lock pin and the operation lever, and the lock pin is lowered and the locked state is released by lifting the operation lever upward.

  When the operation lever is a bar-like member extending in the width direction of the seat and is parallel to the rotation axis of the connecting member, a towel or hand towel can be applied to the operation lever.

  According to the present invention, by setting only the lower space below the wash bowl, the height of the lower space can be set as high as possible. As a result, while setting the height of the pedestal that can be stored in the lower space to a preferred height, a gap necessary for sitting is provided between the lower surface of the wash bowl and the seat surface of the pedestal. It is possible to ensure sufficient.

  Moreover, since the height of the pedestal can be set sufficiently high, a large-capacity storage space capable of storing an appropriate article or the like can be secured therein. In addition, the seat has a storage box that can be taken in and out of the storage space in the horizontal direction, so that the seat can remain seated in the lower space or can be seated on the seat. Even in such a state, articles can be taken in and out of the storage space inside the seat.
