Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sink incorporated in a kitchen cabinet.

[Conventional technology]

Sinks for kitchens, such as single or double, have been conventionally adopted with different numbers of tanks and variations in depth. These sinks
The basic idea is to secure a space for washing dishes and the like, to drain water quickly, and to use the faucet easily.

FIG. 3 is a typical example of a conventional single type of sink. As shown in the drawing, a sink 3 is integrally incorporated in a counter 2 provided on the cabinet 1. The counter 2 is formed of a stainless steel plate, artificial marble, etc., and generally has a depth dimension of about 600 mm as a standard specification.

The faucet 4 such as a single faucet or a hot and cold water mixing faucet for discharging water to the sink 3 is fixed on the counter 2 on the back side of the sink 3. Since the spout 4a has its spout 4a freely swingable to widen the water discharge range, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the sink 3
Is almost centered, or is slightly deviated from the center as shown in FIG. In addition, a drain port is provided at the bottom of the sink 3.
3a is opened, and this is connected to a drain pipe (not shown) provided in the cabinet 1.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the arrangement in which the faucet 4 is raised behind the sink 3, it is necessary to provide the counter 2 with a space for the faucet 4. Therefore, the depth dimension of the sink 3 is also limited to a certain value or less, and the capacity of the sink 3 is also limited.

On the other hand, in order to increase the depth dimension of the sink 3, for example, a layout as shown in FIG. 4 can be considered. FIG. 4 (a) shows that the faucet 4 is provided in a corner portion on the far side of the sink 3 so that the space for the faucet 4 at the inner side of the sink 3 is absorbed by the sink 3. Further, FIG. 4B is an example in which the mounting seat 40 of the faucet 4 is projected to the inside of the sink 3 instead of increasing the depth dimension of the sink 3.

However, in the case of FIG. 4 (a), although the capacity of the sink 3 itself becomes large, the faucet 4 is biased to one side, so that it is not convenient for washing work. Further, in FIG. 4 (b), the faucet 4
Is in the normal position and the sink 3 is also large, so there is no problem in usability. However, since the mounting seat 40 largely projects to the center of the sink 3, it is not convenient to place a large pot such as a wok or tableware on the sink 3 for washing.

As described above, in the conventional sink, the position of the faucet and the size of the sink cannot be appropriately combined, and there is a difficulty in the convenience of washing work using the inside of the sink.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make the position of the faucet easy to handle and to increase the capacity of the sink so that the washing work can be performed more efficiently.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a base for attaching a faucet, which is partially protruded forward from the inner peripheral wall at the upper end side portion of the inner peripheral wall at the back side of the sink, and the protruding end of the base is provided. It is characterized in that it has a flank that is bent from the lower end portion to the inner peripheral wall on the back side.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a main part of a kitchen sink of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line I--I of FIG.

As shown in the conventional example, the counter 2 is fixed on the cabinet 1, and the sink 2 is incorporated in the counter 2. The depth of the counter 2 is about 600 mm as in the conventional case, and may be about 800 mm or more, and the counter 2 and the sink 3 are formed by using a stainless plate and are integrated by welding or the like. .

A base 5 for attaching the faucet is formed at the center of the back side of the sink 3 so as to protrude toward the center of the sink 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the base 5 is formed with a step between it and the surface of the counter 2, and has a bag shape that swells into the sink 3. The front wall 5a of the base 5 is the sink 3
It has a vertical cross-sectional shape that gradually bends toward the bottom as it goes to the bottom of the sink 3, and the sink 3 has a certain height from the bottom of the sink 3.
It matches the inner wall 3b of the. That is, in FIG. 2, a flank that is bent inward from the front wall 5a in a substantially vertical posture.
5b is formed, and the flank 5b merges with the inner peripheral wall 3b of the sink 3. Further, the left and right side walls 5c of the base 5 are formed in a posture that is substantially orthogonal to the inner peripheral wall 3b of the sink 3 so as to suppress the width of the base 5 in the frontage direction.

The faucet 4 penetrates through the base 5 and is fixed upright and connected to the water supply pipe 10 of the wall A. A water stopcock 11 penetrating the back plate 1a of the cabinet 1 is connected to the water supply pipe 10, and a supply pipe 12 is provided between the water stopcock 11 and the water tap 4. As the supply pipe 12, a bendable pipe such as a copper pipe or a flexible pipe is used so that the supply pipe 12 can be arranged along the bag-shaped portion on the back of the base 5.

In the above structure, since the water faucet 4 is provided on the base 5 projecting in the central portion of the sink 3, it can be operated easily by slightly extending the arm as compared with the case where the faucet 4 is fixed to the rear of the sink 3. Further, since the base 5 is formed almost in the upper half of the inner peripheral wall 3b of the sink 3, a large pot or the like can be housed in the sink 3 so that the flank 5b of the base 5 is hidden as shown in FIG. it can. That is, in the case where the mounting seat 40 as shown in FIG. 4 (b) of the conventional example is provided from the lower end to the upper end of the sink 3, the depth dimension of the sink 3 becomes short, but as shown in FIG. The lower part of the base 5 is the sink 3
Since it extends to the inner peripheral wall 3b, the whole sink 3 can be widely used without the base 5 becoming an obstacle.

[Effect of device]

As described above, in the kitchen sink of the present invention, only the upper side of the inner peripheral wall on the inner side of the sink is protruded to the front side to provide the base for mounting the faucet. Therefore, the faucet can be installed in front, and the faucet is closer to a person standing in front of the cabinet, as compared with the case where the faucet is provided at the back of the sink or the corner portion, and the faucet can be easily operated. In addition, a flank is formed below the protruding end of the base so as to bend toward the inner peripheral wall on the back side of the sink, so that the area below the flank has the width of the entire sink. be able to. Therefore, if you put a pot underneath this flank, you can use the whole sink for washing work even if the base is protruding forward, not only the faucet is easy to use but also the washing work. It can be done without any trouble.
