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 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. The position where the second long side end 22 side of the counter 2 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.

  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 described above, the counter 2 can be switched between the use state in which the top plate 41 faces upward and the stored state in which the top plate 41 is arranged in the horizontal direction (disposed in a direction different from the use state). At the first wall 103.

  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 bathroom counter in the housed state can be cleaned. The storage bracket can stably support the bathroom counter when cleaning the bathroom and bathroom counter. Further, in the housed state, the bathroom counter can be held at a position spaced upward from the floor of the bathroom. As a result, at the time of cleaning, the cleaner can easily clean without supporting the bathroom counter. Therefore, the burden when cleaning the detachable bathroom counter can be reduced.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, a configuration is provided in which the detachable counter 2 is held on the wall surface of the bathroom so as to be switchable between a use state and a storage state. As a result, when the detachable counter 2 is not used, the counter 2 can be held on the wall surface at a position where the flow line of the user is not hindered. Therefore, for example, when cleaning the floor surface of the washing place 102 below the counter 2 and the first wall 103, the counter 2 can be once removed from the first wall 103, and the counter 2 can be stably held in the housed state. Also, the horizontal direction from the first wall 103 to the second end of the counter 2 in the stored state is smaller than the horizontal first dimension L1 from the first wall 103 to the first end of the counter 2 in the use state. Has a short second dimension L2. Therefore, the counter 2 in the housed state can have a smaller horizontal protrusion from the first wall 103 than in the used 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.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, in the storage state, the counter 2 is arranged so that the top plate 41 of the counter 2 is along the first wall 103 of the bathroom space BR. The protruding amount from the part 103 can be suppressed and stored. Therefore, when the unused counter 2 is stored, for example, during cleaning, the counter 2 does not hinder the flow of the user.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, in the storage state, the mounting surface of the counter 2 is held in an upright state, so that when the counter 2 is not used, the protruding length from the first wall 103 is suppressed. To hold the counter 2.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, the counter 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the first wall 103 via the bracket 3 provided on the first wall 103.

  According to the bathroom counter storage structure according to the present embodiment, in the storage state, since the bracket 3 is arranged flush with the second end of the counter 2, the bracket 3 may protrude from the counter 2 in the storage state. Absent. Therefore, the amount of horizontal protrusion of the counter 2 and the bracket 3 from the first wall 103 in the housed state can be suppressed.

  According to the bathroom unit 100 according to the present embodiment, the first dimension L1 from the first wall 103 in the use state to the first long side end 21 of the counter 2 is higher than the first dimension L1 in the storage state.
