Description

  The present invention relates to a counter attached to a bathroom wall.

Conventionally, in order to make it easier to wash the body in the bathroom at home, a counter is attached to the bathroom wall so that the basin can be placed above the washing area.
In Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-67340), the counter supports the lower surface of the counter with three brackets attached to the wall, and the mounting base provided by denting the back of the counter is used as the top surface of the counter. The drainage groove is made lower, and the rear end of the mounting base is brought into contact with the wall. The drainage groove is narrow, and the corner formed by the counter body and wall forms a corner.It is difficult to clean, and it is not easy to remove scales and soap residue stuck in the corner. Take it.

  Moreover, in patent document 2 (Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2013-179987), the counter which can be seated is separated from a wall and a bathtub, and is fixed to a wall and a bathtub with two support | pillars which penetrate the front-back position of the counter in the left-right direction. . Although this counter is separated from the wall, since the pillars penetrate the left and right side end faces of the counter, a corner is formed at the corner formed by the side end faces of the counter and the pillars. It is not easy to clean the soap residue neatly, and it takes time and effort.

  Therefore, the present invention suppresses the adhesion of water scale and soap residue to the corner between the counter and the bathroom wall, and the corner between the counter support and the bathroom wall, thereby improving the cleaning property. The aim is to provide an enhanced bathroom counter.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a counter attached to a bathroom wall, wherein a support material that supports the counter is fixed to the bathroom wall, and a lower surface of the counter is provided at a tip of the support material. The support material is configured to support the counter so that all side end surfaces of the counter are horizontally separated from the bathroom wall and the bathtub, and the upper surface of the support material is It has the drainage slope which drains the water which flows on a support material in the left-right direction with respect to a support material.

In this bathroom counter, since the counter is disposed with the side end surface thereof horizontally away from the wall or bathtub, the corner formed by the counter and the wall or bathtub is eliminated. Therefore, conventionally, water and dirt that have been easily collected in the corners do not accumulate. Moreover, it is not necessary to apply silicon to the corner between the wall or the bathtub and the counter, and the appearance is improved.
Further, since the side end surface of the counter is separated from the wall and the bathtub, the side end surface of the counter on which the dirt is attached can be easily scrubbed with a cleaning tool such as a detergent and a sponge from end to end. Therefore, the cleaning property of the bathroom counter is much better than before.

  Furthermore, since the support material is fixed to the bathroom wall, a corner is formed between the support material and the bathroom wall, but water is drained left and right on the upper surface of the support material. A drainage slope is provided. Therefore, the water that has flowed down from the counter to the support material forms a flow that drains from the support material before reaching the wall to which the support material is fixed, and the amount of water reaching the wall can be reduced. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress that water accumulates in the corner between the support material and the wall and adheres dirt, and the cleaning property can be further improved.

  In the bathroom counter of the present invention, it is preferable that the support material has a width that is narrower than the width of the counter.

  According to this, since the lateral width of the support material is formed narrower than the lateral width of the counter, the water that flows backward from the counter spaced apart from the wall does not easily stay on the support material. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of dirt due to the surfactant contained in the water and the like from adhering to the support material, and it is possible to improve the cleanability.

  In the bathroom counter of the present invention, it is more preferable that the upper surface of the support member at the rear of the counter rear end is inclined downward toward the wall to which the support member is fixed.

  According to this, since the flow rate of the water flowing on the support member increases due to the inclination, the water hardly remains on the support member. Therefore, water does not easily accumulate in the corners of the support member and the wall, and is difficult to get dirty.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of water scale and soap residue to the corner between the counter and the bathroom wall, and the corner between the counter support member and the bathroom wall. It becomes possible to provide an enhanced bathroom counter.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a perspective view showing a bathroom provided with a bathroom counter according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the bathroom counter, FIG. 3 is a front view of the bathroom counter, and FIG. 4 is a right side of the bathroom counter. FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the direction of water flowing on the drainage gradient surface, and FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the bathroom counter.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a bathroom counter 300 (hereinafter referred to as a counter) is attached to a front wall 110 of a bathroom washroom 100. More specifically, the counter 300 is provided on the front wall 110 disposed between the bathtub 200 and the side wall 120 facing each other with the bathtub 200 and the washing place 100 interposed therebetween. Attached along. The upper surface 310 of the counter 300 is flat or loosely inclined to be a mounting surface without a step, and can be used with a wash basin or the like.

  A faucet 400 for supplying hot water to a basin mounted on the counter 300 is attached to the front wall 110 above the counter 300. A mirror 500 is attached to the front wall 110 above the faucet 400.

  The counter 300 is attached to the front wall 110 by a support member 350.

One end (front end) of the support member 350 is attached to the lower surface 320 of the counter 300 at a position away from the side end surface 330 by a fastener 351 such as a screw. Further, the other end of the support member 350 is attached to a lower position of the front wall 110 at a predetermined distance from the lower end of the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 by a fastener 352 such as a bolt.
The support member 350 has a width smaller than that of the counter 300. For example, the lateral width of the support member 350 is reduced to the same extent as the lateral width of the faucet 400 or the mirror 500.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support member 350 has a drainage gradient surface 355 for discharging water flowing on the upper surface thereof downward before reaching the front wall 110.
FIG. 5A shows an example in which a drainage gradient surface 355 is formed on the upper surface of the support member 350 by forming a curved surface that goes to the left and right with a virtual center line toward the front wall 110 as a boundary.
FIG. 5B shows an example in which an inclined flat surface 355 is formed on the upper surface of the support member 350 to the left and right with a virtual center line toward the front wall 110 as a boundary.

  Thus, since the upper surface of the support member 350 is inclined downward toward the front wall 110, the water on the support member 350 flows toward the front wall 110, but the drainage gradient is present on the upper surface of the support member 350. A surface 355 is formed. The lateral width of the support member 350 is formed to be considerably smaller than the lateral width of the counter 300. Therefore, the water that has flowed down on the support member 350 from above the counter 300 flows toward the front wall 110, but most of it flows down to the left and right by the drainage gradient surface 355 and is drained (see FIG. 6). Thereby, the quantity of the water which flows on the support material 350 and reaches the front wall 110 can be reduced.

  The counter 300 is attached so that the left and right and rear side end surfaces thereof are separated from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200, respectively. Therefore, a gap is formed between the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200. In the present embodiment, a gap S1 of 50 mm is provided between the side end surface 330B behind the counter 300 and the front wall 110. A gap S <b> 2 of 70 mm is provided between the side end surface 330 </ b> L on the left side (the bathtub 200 side) of the counter 300 and the bathtub 200. Further, a gap S3 of 70 mm is provided between the side end surface 330R on the right side (the wall 120 side) of the counter 300 and the side wall 120.

  The gaps S <b> 1 to S <b> 3 have gaps of appropriate dimensions for wiping and cleaning the side end surface 330 of the counter 300. In order to carefully clean the finger F in the gap, the gaps S1, S2, and S3 are preferably 30 mm or more, and 70 mm so that the back of the hand does not hit the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200. The following is preferable. Further, the gap S1 is more preferably 30 to 50 mm so that the counter 300 does not protrude greatly from the washing place 100.

Next, how to care for the counter will be described.
FIG. 8 is a view showing a state in which the side end face of the counter is being cared for.

  As described above, the gaps S1, S2, and S3 between the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and the front wall 110, the side wall 120, or the bathtub 200 have dimensions of 30 mm or more, so that the cleaning tool C is grasped as shown in FIG. The finger F can be easily inserted into the gaps S1, S2, S3. One end of the support member 350 is attached to a position away from the side end surface 330 on the lower surface 320 of the counter 300. Therefore, no corner is formed between the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and the support member 350, and a space below the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 is a space. As a result, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be scrubbed with force. Further, the dirt attached to the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be scraped off more easily than the dirt attached to the corner. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove dirt such as water scale and soap residue adhering to the lower end of the side end surface 330 of the counter 300. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the mold | fungi on the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be suppressed.

  According to the counter 300 of the present embodiment, the counter 300 is disposed with its side end surface 330 away from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200. Therefore, the counter 300, the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub are arranged. The corner formed by 200 disappears. For this reason, water and dirt that have conventionally been easily collected in the corners do not remain. In addition, it is not necessary to apply silicon to the corners between the front wall 110, the side wall 120, the bathtub 200, and the counter 300, and the appearance is improved.

  Further, after the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 is separated from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200, the support member 350 attached to a position away from the side end surface 330 on the lower surface 320 of the counter 300 is attached to the wall 110. Since it is fixed, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 is in a state of being separated from the support material 350 as well as the front wall 110, the side wall 120 and the bathtub 200. Therefore, even if water containing a surfactant flows down from the upper surface 310 of the counter 300 to the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and dirt such as scale or soap residue remains on the side end surface 330 of the counter 300, The end surface 330 can be cleaned more easily from end to end with the detergent and the cleaning tool C.

  In addition, the counter 300 separates the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200 by 30 mm or more. Thereby, the finger F with the cleaning tool C can be easily inserted into the gaps S1, S2, S3, and can be wiped and cleaned with a strong force.

  In addition, since the counter 300 has no step on the upper surface 310, water is unlikely to accumulate on the upper surface 310 of the counter 300, and it is possible to suppress the adhesion of dirt such as scale and soap residue to the upper surface 310 of the counter 300. It becomes possible.

  Next, a modification of the bathroom counter of the present invention will be described. In addition, about the same structure as embodiment mentioned above, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG. 9 is a right side view showing a counter of a modification.
In the counter 700, a reinforcing material 370 is provided between the counter 700 and the support tool 350. The reinforcing member 370 makes the counter 700 difficult to bend even if it is supported by a support 350 having a narrower width than the counter 700.
The side end surface 730B behind the counter 700 and the side end surface 370B behind the reinforcing member 370 are configured to be flush with each other.

  Thus, in the present invention, the counter 700 may not be directly supported by the support material 350.

  Further, according to this modification, since the cleaning tool C does not enter the back side of the counter 700 immediately above the support member 350, it takes more time than the above-described embodiment, but all the side end surfaces of the counter 700 are used. Since it is away from the wall and the bathtub, the side end surface of the counter 700 to which dirt is attached can be easily scrubbed with the detergent and the cleaning tool C from end to end.

  The support 350 and the reinforcing material 370 may be integrated.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions.
For example, although the drainage gradient surface 355 has been described with respect to the form in which the water flowing on the support member 350 is drained to the left and right, the drainage gradient surface 355 may be drained only to the right side or the left side.
