DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a metal fitting for fixedly attaching an under counter type basin to a counter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a basin 3 is disposed below a basin installation port 2 of a counter 1, and an upper surface around a bowl of the basin 3 is attached to a lower surface around the basin installation port 2. A wash basin having an under counter type wash basin to be abutted is widely used.

[0003] As a structure in which the under counter type basin 3 is fixedly attached to the counter 1, as shown in FIG.
A bolt 6 is fixed to the lower surface of the counter 1 via a bolt mounting piece 5, and an L bracket 7 is locked to the bolt 6 by a nut 8 so as to be able to move up and down, and the nut 8 is screwed upward to mount the basin 3. There is one that is supported (for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2-119084). Note that a packing 9 is interposed between the upper surface of the basin 3 and the lower surface of the counter 1.

[0004]

In the above conventional example, when the nut 8 is strongly tightened to increase the mounting strength of the wash basin 3 or to increase the water stopping property of the packing 9, the wash basin 3 is indicated by an arrow F. As described above, the edge of the basin installation port 2 of the counter 1 is locally strongly pressed upward, so that the basin installation edge of the counter 1 is bent upward as shown by a two-dot chain line 1 ". I will.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a basin mounting bracket capable of preventing the basin installation edge of the counter from warping.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a basin mounting bracket having an intermediate piece having a bolt insertion hole, extending in a direction away from the basin, and an end of the intermediate piece on the basin side. A hanging piece erected from the part, an upstanding piece erected from the end of the intermediate piece opposite to the basin, and a support fitting having a hook insertion hole pierced in the hanging piece; Is a hook having a bent shape, one end of which is inserted through the hook insertion hole, and the other end of which is disposed so as to go under the basin, and a bolt of an intermediate piece of the support fitting. It is provided with a bolt inserted through the insertion hole, and a nut screwed to the bolt for supporting the support fitting.

A basin mounting bracket according to a second aspect is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the bolt insertion hole is a long hole elongated in a longitudinal direction of the intermediate piece.

[0008]

In the basin mounting bracket of the present invention, when the nut is tightened, the upper end of the upright piece abuts the lower surface of the counter, and the hook abuts the lower surface of the basin. When the nut is further tightened, the hook pushes the basin up strongly,
The upper surface of the basin is pressed against the lower surface of the basin installation edge of the counter.

At this time, not only the basin but also the standing piece pushes up the counter from below. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a large upward pressing force from being generated locally only at the basin installation edge of the counter. As a result, even if the nut is tightened strongly, the edge of the basin installation edge of the counter does not deform.

In the basin mounting bracket of the second aspect, the position of the support bracket can be adjusted.

[0011]

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a basin mounting structure using a fitting according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the fitting used in FIG.

In FIG. 1, a basin 10 is fixed below a basin installation edge of a counter 1 via a basin mounting bracket 11. The basin mounting bracket 11 includes a bolt 13 fixed to the counter 1 via a bolt mounting piece 12, and a support bracket 14 supported by the bolt 13.
And a hook 16 inserted and supported in a hook insertion hole 15 of the support fitting 14, and a seat nut 17 screwed to the bolt 14.

The bolt mounting piece 12 is a plate-like body having a locking hole 12a for the bolt 13 penetrating through the center of the plate, and the upper surface thereof is bonded to the lower surface of the counter 1 with a strong adhesive. The upper side of the locking hole 12a is enlarged in diameter, and the head of the bolt 13 is engaged with this enlarged diameter portion.

The supporting bracket 14 includes a substantially horizontal long piece-shaped intermediate piece 14a, a hanging piece 14b which is folded downward from an end of the intermediate piece 14a on the side of the basin 10, and a wash basin of the intermediate piece 14a. 10 and an upright piece 14c which is folded upward from the opposite end, and the hook insertion hole 15 is formed in the hanging piece 14b.

The insertion hole 1 for the bolt 13 is provided in the intermediate piece 14a.
8 are drilled. The insertion hole 18 is a long hole that is long in a direction away from the basin 10 (a direction connecting the hanging piece 14b and the standing piece 14c). Therefore, the position of the support fitting can be easily adjusted according to the dimensional tolerance of the ceramic basin.

The hook 16 is substantially S-shaped with upper and lower ends curved in a J-shape, respectively. The upper portion of the hook 16 is inserted and locked in the hook insertion hole 15, and the lower portion is locked in a hook engagement hole 19 on the lower surface of the peripheral portion of the basin 3.

A packing 20 is interposed between the upper surface of the basin 10 and the lower surface of the basin installation edge of the counter 1.

In the basin mounting structure using the mounting bracket configured as described above, when the nut 17 is tightened, the upper end of the upright piece 14 c of the support bracket 14 comes into contact with the lower surface of the counter 1. When the nut 17 is further tightened, the hanging piece 15 side and the hook 16 of the support fitting 14 are strongly pressed upward, and the upper surface of the basin 10 is placed on the basin installation opening 2 of the counter 1.
Strongly pressed against the lower surface of the edge. In this case, the upward pressing force due to the tightening of the nut 17 is applied not only to the edge of the washbasin installation edge that comes into contact with the washbasin 10, but also to the vicinity of the upright piece 14c.

By dispersing the upward pressing force in a wide range as described above, it is possible to prevent a large bending stress from being applied locally only to the rim of the counter 1 where the basin is installed. Warpage of the edge of the mouth 2 is prevented.

Further, the hook 16 is formed separately from the support fitting 14, and by replacing the hook with a different length according to the thickness of the peripheral portion of the basin 10, it is possible to use various types of basins of different models. It is possible to use a common support fitting 14. Further, it is possible to easily cope with the dimensional tolerance of the basin.

In the above embodiment, the standing piece 14c and the intermediate piece 1
4a is used as a support bracket 14 integrated therewith,
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a support fitting 14A in which a bolt 21 as a standing piece is screwed so as to be able to be screwed up and down may be used.

In this case, by adjusting the length of the bolt 21 projecting upward, it becomes possible to cope with various types of basins in which the thickness of the peripheral portion is different. The fifth and sixth
Other reference numerals in the figures indicate the same parts as those in FIGS.

In the above embodiment, the bolt 14 is fixed to the counter by the bolt mounting piece 12, but an insert nut may be provided on the counter, and the bolt may be screwed into the insert nut.

[0024]

As described above, according to the basin mounting bracket of the present invention, the basin can be firmly fixed to the counter by strongly tightening the nut. In this case, even if the nut is strongly tightened, the edge of the washbasin installation opening of the counter does not deform.

Further, in the mounting bracket of the present invention, by converting the hooks to those having different lengths, it is possible to cope with various basins having different peripheral portions.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the position of the support bracket can be adjusted, it is possible to easily cope with the dimensional tolerance of the basin.
