A first connector for connecting the first door to the cabinet body so as to be slidable in the left-right direction in a direction away from the second door;
A second connector that rotatably supports an end of the second door opposite to the first door so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis.

  The toilet cabinet having the above-described configuration can be suitably installed on the side of the toilet in the toilet. In particular, by installing the toilet cabinet so that the first door is disposed on the front side of the toilet bowl and the second door is disposed on the back side of the toilet bowl, the first door is slid toward the front side of the toilet bowl. The second door can be opened by swinging toward the toilet. Therefore, even if both the first and second doors are opened simultaneously, one door does not block the open area of the other door. Therefore, even when the toilet cabinet having the above-described configuration is arranged on the side of the toilet bowl, the opening of the cabinet body can be opened as wide as possible.

(2) Preferably, the 2nd door is further provided with the control member which restrict | limits the opening degree of the said 2nd to the opening degree which does not interfere with a toilet bowl.
With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the second door from interfering with the toilet bowl due to excessive opening of the second door.

(3) Preferably, the width in the left-right direction of the second door is smaller than the width in the left-right direction of the first door.
With such a configuration, the opening angle of the second door can be increased, and the equipment in the accommodation space can be easily taken out.

(4) Preferably, the said accommodation space is continuing over the full width of the left-right direction in the said cabinet main body.
Since the first door and the second door move in directions away from each other, a partition wall that divides the storage space in the left-right direction is not provided, and the storage space is continuous over the entire width in the left-right direction of the cabinet body. Thus, the storage space can be used more widely when both the first and second doors are opened.

  According to the present invention, the opening of the cabinet body can be opened as widely as possible.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hand-washing cabinet 10 is disposed along the side wall 51 in the toilet room 50. Further, the third cabinet 13 is abutted against the wall 52 on the back side in the toilet room 50. A toilet 53 with a tank 54 is installed in front of the wall 52 in the toilet room 50. In the following description, the seat surface 53a side of the toilet bowl 53 is referred to as the front side, and the tank 54 side is referred to as the back side. The direction in which the first to third cabinets 11 to 13 are arranged is referred to as the left-right direction, and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-right direction is referred to as the front-rear direction. Therefore, in the state where the cabinet 10 is installed in the toilet room 50, the direction from the front side to the back side of the toilet bowl 53 coincides with the left-right direction of the cabinet 10.

  The first cabinet 11 includes a first cabinet body 21 having an accommodation space inside and opening on the front surface, and a single door 22 that closes the front opening of the first cabinet body 21. In the first cabinet body 21, a water supply pipe connected to the faucet 15 a of the hand washing machine 15 and a drain pipe connected to the hand washing machine 15 are accommodated. The first cabinet body 21 can also accommodate equipment such as detergent.

  The second cabinet 12 includes a second cabinet body 24 having a housing space inside and having a front surface opened, and a single door 25 that closes the front opening of the second cabinet body 24. The second cabinet body 24 is partitioned vertically by a partition plate 26, and the lower region is closed by a door 25. The upper area of the second cabinet body 24 is open forward, and a paper holder 27 for holding toilet paper and a speaker 28 are provided in this area.

  The third cabinet 13 includes a third cabinet main body 30 having a housing space inside and having a front surface opened, and two doors 31 and 32 for closing the front opening of the third cabinet main body 30. Hereinafter, the left door is referred to as a first door 31 when the third cabinet 13 is viewed from the front, and the right door is referred to as a second door 32. If the toilet bowl 53 is used as a reference, the first door 31 is arranged on the front side of the toilet bowl 53, and the second door 32 is arranged on the back side of the toilet bowl 53.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the third cabinet (toilet cabinet) 13. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the third cabinet 13 with the first and second doors 31 and 32 opened.
The first door 31 is attached to the left end wall 30 a of the third cabinet body 30 by a first connector 34. The second door 32 is attached to the right end wall 30 b of the third cabinet body 30 by a second connector 35.

  The first connector 34 has a plurality of arms (links) 34a, 34b, 34c, one end of which is rotatably connected to the left wall 30a and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the first door 31. ing. Each arm 34a, 34b, 34c constitutes a so-called parallel link. And the 1st door 31 slides toward the left direction which leaves | separates from the 2nd door 32, moving slightly to the front side (toilet 53 side), maintaining the attitude | position of the left-right direction, The front surface of the 3rd cabinet main body 30 Is released. The first connector 34 is not limited to the illustrated one, and may be any one having two or more arms constituting a parallel link, and a generally used general-purpose product may be used. it can. Moreover, the 1st connection tool 34 will not be specifically limited if it slides and opens the 1st door 31 in the direction away from the 2nd door 32 not only in a parallel ring.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the amount of rotation of each arm 34a, 34b, 34c when opening the first door 31 is limited by the stopper member 36 with which one of the arms 34b abuts. By providing such a stopper member 36 in the first connector 34, it is possible to prevent the arms 34a, 34b, 34c from coming into contact with the adjacent door 25 or the like. In addition, by providing such a stopper member 36 on the first connector 34, a general-purpose product that is commercially available as the first connector 34 is used, and the desired opening of the first door 31 is determined. By providing the stopper member 36, it is not necessary to manufacture the first connector 34 dedicated to the third cabinet 13, and the manufacturing cost of the third cabinet 13 can be reduced.

  On the other hand, the 2nd coupling tool 35 is what is called a hinge, and supports the right end part of the 2nd door 32 so that rotation is possible to the surroundings of the shaft center of an up-down direction. Accordingly, the second door 32 opens the front surface of the third cabinet body 30 when the left end portion on the first door 31 side swings forward in a substantially arc shape.

  As described above, in the third cabinet 13 of the present embodiment, the first door 31 and the second door 32 are opened differently, and the first door 31 slides away from the second door 32. On the other hand, as for the 2nd door 32, the edge part by the side of the 1st door 31 rocks | fluctuates ahead. Therefore, both doors 31 and 32 can be opened simultaneously, and when both doors 31 and 32 are opened simultaneously, one door does not block the open area of the other door. Therefore, the front opening of the cabinet body can be opened widely.

  Assuming that a configuration is adopted in which the end of the first door 31 on the second door 32 side is swung forward in substantially the same manner as the second door 32, even if the first door 31 is opened, the front of the toilet 53 is provided. Although it becomes difficult to access the inside of the third cabinet body 30 from the side, the third cabinet body can be seen from the front side of the toilet 53 by sliding the first door 31 away from the second door 32 as in this embodiment. 30 is easily accessible.

Therefore, the storage space in the 3rd cabinet main body 30 can be made into the continuous space over the whole width of the left-right direction in the 3rd cabinet main body 30, and the inside of the 3rd cabinet main body 30 can be utilized widely.

  Between the 2nd door 32 and the 3rd cabinet main body 30, the control tool 37 which restrict | limits the open angle of the 2nd door 32 is provided. The restricting tool 37 has a first member 37a whose one end is connected to the second door 32 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis, and a vertical axis that is one end connected to the third cabinet body 30. A second member 37b that is pivotably coupled around the other end of the first member 37a and the other end of the second member 37b that are pivotally coupled around the vertical axis. Yes. Accordingly, the relative angle between the first member 37 a and the second member 37 b changes in the restricting tool 37 by opening and closing the second door 32.

  Further, the rotation of the first member 37a and the second member 37b in the direction in which the relative angle between them is increased is limited by a predetermined angle. Therefore, the opening angle of the second door 32 is limited when the relative angle between the first member 37a and the second member 37b is limited. By providing such a restricting tool 37, the second door 32 can be opened as much as possible without causing the second door 32 to interfere with the toilet bowl 53. The restrictor 37 is not limited to the illustrated one as long as it can achieve the function of limiting the opening angle of the second door 32. For example, not only a thing bent according to opening and closing of the 2nd door 32 but the thing which expands and contracts etc. can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the second door 32 is formed such that the width W2 in the left-right direction is smaller than the width W1 in the left-right direction of the first door 31. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening angle of the second door 32 when the second door 32 is opened to a position where it does not interfere with the toilet 53 can be made as large as possible. In FIG. 5, as a comparative example, the second door 32 'when the width is increased is indicated by a two-dot chain line. In this way, by making the width W2 of the second door 32 smaller than the width W1 of the first door 31, access to the region R at the right end of the housing space in the third cabinet body 30 (the back side of the toilet room 50). And the accommodation space of the third cabinet body 30 can be effectively utilized.

  7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, a speaker 28 is provided below the paper holder 27 in the accommodating space 12 a above the partition plate 26 in the second cabinet 12. The accommodation space 12a above the partition plate 26 is provided with a back plate 12b disposed along the vertical direction, and a speaker 28 is attached to the back plate 12b. The back plate 12b is a metal plate, and the surface thereof is subjected to a surface treatment such as a treatment of baking a glassy glaze (enamel treatment).

  The speaker 28 is a so-called vibration speaker and emits sound by vibrating the back plate 12b. The speaker 28 is connected to a player installed in the toilet room 50 for playing music or video, a portable player brought by the user, or the like by wire or wireless. In addition, since the speaker 28 is attached to the back plate 12b of the accommodation space 12a, the sound generated by the vibration of the back plate 12b is transmitted to the wall surrounding the accommodation space 12a and released forward.
