In other words, the top plate 41 is formed such that the height of the edge of the drain port 24 is the lowest, and is gently lowered and inclined from the outer peripheral edge of the counter 2 toward the drain port 24. However, the inclination angle of the top plate 41 is such a small angle that water on the top plate 41 flows toward the drain port 24 and does not move along the inclination by its own weight when the articles are placed. .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 51 has an inclined surface that is inclined downward from the first long side end 21 toward the second long side end 22 at the center in the width direction (long side direction). I have.

  As shown in FIG. 6, an engaged portion 52 is provided in a region on the second long side end 22 side of the bottom plate 51. The engaged portion 52 is formed substantially at the center in the width direction of the second long side end 22 and below the outer peripheral side wall 23 on the second long side end 22 side. The engaged portion 52 of the bottom plate 51 includes an inner recess 55, an outer recess 56, a ridge 53, and an insertion hole 54.

  The inner concave portion 55 is a concave portion formed in a substantially rectangular shape at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the bottom plate 51. The length in the width direction of the inner concave portion 55 is substantially equal to the length in the width direction of the drain port 24. The distance between the left and right side walls 551 and 551 of the inner concave portion 55 is slightly larger than the dimension of the arm portion 32 of the bracket 3 in the width direction. As shown in FIG. 6, locking protrusions 57, 57 are provided on each of the side walls 551, 551. The locking projections 57 are long projections protruding toward the center in the width direction and extending in the depth direction.

  A protrusion 53 is formed at an end of the inner concave portion 55 on the second long side end 22 side. The protrusion 53 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is formed to protrude downward from the bottom 553 of the inner concave portion 55. The protrusion 53 has a shape similar to the inner peripheral shape of the engagement hole 33 of the bracket 3 in plan view.

  The outer concave portion 56 is a concave portion formed between the inner concave portion 55 and the second long side end 22. The outer concave portion 56 is formed to be continuous with the inner concave portion 55, and is a substantially rectangular concave portion that is long in the width direction. The outer recess 56 has a longer opening dimension in the width direction than the inner recess 55. The dimension of the outer recess 56 in the width direction is slightly longer than the dimension of the surface portion 312 of the base body 31 of the bracket 3 in the width direction.

  The insertion hole 54 is formed to be recessed upward at the center in the width direction of the bottom 561 of the outer concave portion 56. The insertion hole 54 is formed at a position adjacent to the ridge 53. The insertion hole 54 has a shape similar to the shape of the protruding wall 314 of the bracket 3.

  Slits 563 and 563 that are depressed outward in the width direction are formed on left and right side walls 562 and 562 in the width direction of the outer concave portion 56, respectively.

  Next, an engagement structure between the counter 2 and the bracket 3 will be described. The counter 2 is configured to be able to engage with the bracket 3 in the use state and the storage state, respectively. First, an engagement structure between the counter 2 and the bracket 3 in a use state will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a mode in which the counter 2 is attached to the bracket 3 in a use state. As shown in FIG. 8, with the top plate 41 of the counter 2 facing upward, the engaged portion 52 of the bottom plate 51 is brought close to the bracket 3 from above, and the ridge 53 is inserted into the engagement hole 33. The projecting wall 314 is inserted into 54.

  The protrusion 53 resembles the shape of the engagement hole 33 of the arm 32 in a plan view, and the distance between the side walls 551 and 551 of the inner recess 55 is slightly larger than the width dimension of the arm 32 of the bracket 3. As shown in FIG. 9, the arm portion 32 and the engaged portion 52 are engaged. The bar 322 of the arm 32 is sandwiched between the front side wall 552 (see FIG. 6) of the inner recess 55 and the ridge 53. Further, the inner side wall 531 of the ridge 53 abuts on the surface 312 of the bracket 3. As a result, the counter 2 can be supported in a used state with a sufficient load resistance against a force from above the counter 2.

  When the arm portion 32 and the engaged portion 52 are engaged with each other, the locking projections 57, 57 provided on the side walls 551, 551 of the inner concave portion 55 engage the projections 34, 34 of the base portions 321, 321 of the arm portion 32. After getting over, the locking projections 57, 57 are locked to the projections 34, 34. Further, the protruding edges 315 and 315 of the surface portion 312 of the base body 31 are inserted into the slits 563 and 563 of the outer concave portion 56.

  As a result of the support structure of the counter 2 in the use state having the above-described configuration, the counter 2 approaches the bracket 3 from above and engages the engaged portion 52 and the arm portion 32 with a simple configuration. It can be detachably engaged with the bracket 3. That is, the counter 2 can be engaged with the bracket 3 without using a fixing member such as a screw. Further, even when an unexpected force is applied upward while the counter 2 is being used, the counter 2 is unlikely to come off the bracket 3.

  On the other hand, when removing the counter 2 from the bracket 3, when the user lifts the counter 2 while grasping the counter 2, the locking projections 57, 57 get over the protrusions 34, 34 and the engaged portion 52 and the bracket 3 Can be released, and the counter 2 can be removed from the bracket 3.

  In general, the bathroom counter is assumed to be used when a wash basin (not shown) is placed on the top plate 41 to collect water discharged from the faucet 110 or the shower fixture 109. Also in the present embodiment, when the counter 2 is attached under the faucet 110 in a use state, a horizontal dimension L1 (first dimension, from the first wall 103 to the first long side end 21 of the counter 2) is set. 9 is set to be longer than the horizontal projection dimension L3 of the faucet 110 from the first wall 103 (see FIG. 10).

  Next, an engagement structure between the counter 2 and the bracket 3 in the housed state will be described. In the housed state, the direction of the top plate 41 is arranged in a different direction from the used state, and is held by the bracket 3. As shown in FIG. 4, the top plate 41 of the counter 2 removed from the bracket 3 is oriented in the horizontal direction, and the bottom plate 51 side is brought close to the bracket 3. At this time, the first long side end 21 is arranged to be on the upper side, and the drain port 24 is brought closer to the arm 32 of the bracket 3. The opening shape of the drain port 24 in plan view is similar to the front view shape of the arm portion 32, and the opening size of the drain port 24 is slightly larger than the front view shape of the arm portion 32. Therefore, when the bottom plate 51 is brought closer to the arm 32 in the depth direction, the arm 32 can be inserted into the drain 24, and the arm 32 is locked to the drain 24. As a result, the counter 2 is supported by hanging down while being locked by the arm 32, and the counter 2 is held in the bracket 3 in the housed state. As shown in FIG. 10, in the stored state, the ridge 53 (supported portion) and the end region 59 of the bottom plate 51 on the second long side end 22 side (supported portion, see FIGS. 6 and 7). ) Is configured to abut on the first wall portion 103, the counter 2 is supported by the first wall portion 103 at two locations in the vertical direction, so that the counter 2 is stably held in the housed state.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the housed state, the top plate 41 of the counter 2 and the arm 32 of the bracket 3 are arranged substantially flush with each other in the vertical direction. As a result, in the stored state, the space occupied by the counter 2 in the washing place 102 can be suppressed, and the washing place 102 can be widely used.

  In the stored state, the horizontal dimension L2 (second dimension, see FIG. 10) from the first wall 103 to the top plate 41 of the counter 2 is the horizontal projection dimension of the faucet 110 from the first wall 103. It is shorter than L3. Therefore, the horizontal protrusion of the counter 2 from the first wall 103 can be suppressed as compared with the counter 2 in the stored state. As a result, when the detachable counter 2 is not used, the counter 2 can be held at a position that does not hinder the flow line of the user. As a result, at the time of cleaning, the counter 2 held on the first wall 103 can be cleaned without the cleaning person supporting the counter 2. For example, the cleaning person can easily clean the counter 2 by holding the shower head with one hand and holding a cleaning tool such as a sponge with the other hand.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 10, in the stored state, in a state where the engaged portion 52 of the counter 2 is engaged with the bracket 3, the entire circumference of the outer peripheral side wall 23 of the counter 2 (the The entire periphery is held by the bracket 3 at a position separated from the first wall 103 and the floor surface. As a result, the entire circumference of the stored counter 2 can be cleaned. The bracket 2 can stably support the counter 2 when cleaning the bathroom and the counter 2. Further, in the housed state, the counter 2 can be held at a position separated upward from the floor of the bathroom. As a result, it is easier to clean the detachable counter 2 when cleaning it, and the burden on the cleaner can be reduced.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, since the counter 2 can be held in the stored state by the bracket 3, when the detachable counter 2 is removed from the bracket 3, the flow line of the user is not hindered. The counter 2 can be held at the position. Therefore, for example, when cleaning the floor or wall surface below the counter 2, the counter 2 can be stably held by the bracket 3 after removing the counter 2 from the first wall 103. When the counter 2 is not used, the counter 2 can be held in the housed state by the bracket 3.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, in the storage state, since the top plate 41 of the counter 2 is arranged along the first wall 103, the amount of projection of the counter 2 from the first wall 103 is reduced. Can be stored while holding down. Therefore, the counter 2 does not hinder the flow of the user in the storage state where the counter 2 is not used, for example, during cleaning.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, since the counter 2 can be fitted to and held by the bracket 3, the counter 2 can be stably supported by the bracket 3 in the storage state. Further, since the counter 2 is fitted and held on the bracket 3, the counter 2 in the housed state can be prevented from moving. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first wall 103 around the mounting position of the counter 2 or the bracket from being damaged. Further, since the counter 2 is detachably fitted to the bracket 3, a fixture such as a screw is not required. As a result, the counter 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the bracket 3.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, in the storage state of the counter 2, the counter 2 is configured such that the counter 2 is configured such that the drain port 24 (supported portion) and the protruding ridge 53 (on the second long side end 22 side of the bottom plate 51) (Supported portion) and the end region 59 (supported portion). That is, when the drain port 24 is engaged with the bracket 3, the vertical load of the counter 2 in the stored state is supported by the bracket 3. Therefore, in the stored state, the vertical position of the counter 2 with respect to the first wall 103 is held by the drain port 24, and the counter 2 in the stored state can be stably supported. In addition, the load in the depth direction of the counter 2 in the housed state is supported by the first wall 103 by the protrusion 53 and the end region 59 abutting on the first wall 103. Therefore, the vertical position of the counter 2 with respect to the first wall 103 can be held by the ridge 53 and the end region 59.

  In the present embodiment, the counter 2 is supported by two supported portions that are vertically separated from the counter 2. As a result, the stored counter 2 can be more stably supported. It is not necessary to provide a plurality of supported portions. For example, when the counter 2 is locked to the bracket 3 in the housed state, only the vertical load of the counter 2 is supported by the configuration in which the drain port 24 is engaged with the bracket 3, or the end region 59 is the first wall. The configuration in which only the load in the depth direction of the counter 2 can be supported by the configuration in contact with the portion 103 may be employed. Further, the configuration may be such that the load in the vertical direction and the depth direction of the counter 2 is supported at one place. Further, in the present embodiment, the example in which the ridge 53 and the end region 59 on the second long side end 22 side are brought into contact with the first wall 103 to support the counter 2 has been described. The position in the case where the second long side end 22 side is brought into contact with the first wall 103 is not limited to this. For example, the counter 2 may be supported on either the ridge 53 or the end region 59.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, the bracket 3 serves as both the storage bracket and the support bracket. Therefore, the number of brackets that hold the counter 2 in the used state and the stored state can be reduced. As a result, the number of brackets to be mounted in the bathroom space BR can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of components and the number of construction steps. In addition, when the counter 2 is in the use state or the storage state, the unused brackets are not exposed in appearance, so that the appearance design in the bathroom space BR can be enhanced.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, when the counter 2 provided below the faucet is not used in the use state, the counter 2 can be stably held on the bracket 3 in the storage state. Therefore, for example, when cleaning the floor surface below the counter 2 and the first wall 103, the bathroom counter can be held in the stored state by the storage bracket. Therefore, the floor of the bathroom can be easily cleaned.

  The bathroom counter storage structure 1 is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. FIG. 11 shows a first modification of the bathroom counter storage structure in the bathroom unit 100. In the following description, the same components as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the embodiment, and redundant description will be omitted. In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the bracket 3 is also used as the support bracket in the used state of the counter 2 and the storage bracket in the stored state. However, the support bracket and the storage bracket may be separate members.

  In the first modification shown in FIG. 11, a bracket having the same configuration as the bracket 3 is attached to the edge 1011 of the bathtub 101 and used as a storage bracket 3A. As shown in FIG. 11, a storage bracket for storing the counter 2 may be separately provided in addition to the bracket 3 (support bracket) of the above-described embodiment. Further, as in a modification shown in FIG. 11, the counter 2 may be held at a place other than below the faucet 110 or the like.

  In this manner, when the counter 2 is held in a stored state in a place other than below the faucet 110, the space below the faucet 110 or the like is more increased than when the counter 2 is held in a stored state below the shower fixture. Can be widely used. For example, a bathroom unit that can be used comfortably by a user without disturbing the flow of the user when the user uses the shower apparatus 109 in an upright state without installing a chair or the like in the washing place 102 can be provided. Further, when cleaning the use state bracket 3, the counter 2 can be held in the housed state along the apron 105 of the bathtub 101. As a result, the burden on the user during cleaning can be reduced.

  FIG. 12 shows a second modification of the bathroom counter storage structure in bathroom unit 100. The second modification shown in FIG. 12 is an example in which a bracket 3B is provided on the floor of the washing room 102. For example, on the floor near the second wall 104 provided on the right side of the first wall 103, two storage brackets 3B, 3B protruding upward from the floor are provided, and the counter 2 is moved to the second wall 104. , And may be held in a stored state by the storage brackets 3B, 3B and the second wall 104.

  In addition, since the counter 2 is detachable, the counter 2 is formed to be lightweight so that the user can smoothly perform the detaching operation. Therefore, even one storage bracket 3B can be supported.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the counter 2 may be disposed and held in a housed state so that the long side ends 21 and 22 extend in the vertical direction.

As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the embodiments, and includes design changes and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In addition, the components shown in the above-described embodiment and each modified example can be appropriately combined and configured.
