Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show one embodiment of a counter mounting structure according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the counter, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the mounted state.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the counter 1
Upper wall 1a, lower wall 1 by resin molding or decorative molding
b, a front wall 1c and an upper and lower mounting wall 1d as a rear wall are formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section. A concave groove 2 (fitting means) having a substantially inverted trapezoidal cross section is formed on the inner surface of a substantially central portion of the upper wall 1a, the lower wall 1b, and the front wall 1c of the counter 1. The concave groove 2 is integrally formed with a predetermined length at each end 1A (only one end 1A is shown in the figure) on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the counter 1 by, for example, injection molding. 1 can of course be formed over the entire length.

At the end 1A of the counter 1, an attachment member 3 made of, for example, a resin molded product is fitted. The mounting member 3 has a width w1 and a height h1, and is formed to have substantially the same shape as the inner surface of the counter 1. The upper surface wall 3a, the lower surface wall 3b, and the front wall 3c have the longitudinal grooves formed therein. Ridge 4 (first fitting)
Are integrally formed. A mounting portion 5 having a predetermined width is formed on the rear surface side of the mounting member 3, and the mounting portions 5 are provided with a ridge 6 having a shape substantially the same as that of the ridge 4 . 2 fitting means) are integrally formed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the back surface 5 a of the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3 is set to be flush with the back surface of the mounting wall 1 d of the counter 1 when fitted to the counter 1.

On the other hand, a fixing member 7 formed of a resin plate is fitted to the ridge 6 of the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3. The fixing member 7 is formed, for example, so as to have the same width w2 as the width w1 of the mounting member 3 and the same height h2 as the height h3 of the counter 1. Groove 8 to be fitted to 6 (fitting means)
Are integrally formed. At the upper and lower portions of the concave groove 8 of the fixing member 7, mounting holes 9 each having a counterbore are formed. The fixing member 7 is provided with a pair of flathead screws 10.
2, the counter 1 is attached to the wall panel 11 via the attachment member 3 and the fixing member 7 as shown in FIG.

Next, an example of a specific mounting method of the counter 1 will be described. First, the back surfaces 7a of the pair of fixing members 7 are brought into contact with the wall panel 11 to which the counter 1 is fixed, and are fixed with flathead screws 10, respectively. At this time, the fixing member 7 is fixed at a position corresponding to both ends 1A on both sides of the counter 1, and directs the concave groove 8 in the vertical direction. After the fixing member 7 is fixed to the wall panel 11, the mounting members 3 are fitted to the ends 1A on both sides of the counter 1 as shown by arrows A in FIG.

The fitting of the mounting member 3 to the counter 1 is performed by fitting the mounting member 3 to the inside of the counter 1 outside the bathroom unit when the counter 1 has substantially the same width as the wall panel 11. Thus, the total length of the counter 1 does not increase, and the counter 1 is easily carried into the bathroom unit.

When the mounting member 3 is fitted and mounted on the counter 1, the ridge 6 of the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3 projects a predetermined dimension (the height of the ridge 6) to the rear side of the counter 1. And the ridge 6 of the mounting portion 5 is fixed to the fixing member 7.
From above, is fitted into the concave groove 8 of the fixing member 7 as shown by the arrow B in FIG. At this time, since the flathead screw 10 is used as a screw for fixing the fixing member 7 to the wall panel 11, there is no projecting portion in the concave groove 8, and the ridge 6 of the mounting member 3 smoothly fits into the concave groove 8. Are combined. By fitting the ridge 6 and the concave groove 8,
The counter 1 is mounted on the fixing member 7, that is, the wall panel 11 via the mounting member 3. Thereafter, a silicon sealing 13 is applied to a gap formed between the mounting wall 1d of the counter 1 and the upper and lower edges of the concave groove 8 of the fixing member 7, thereby completing the mounting operation of the counter 1.

The counter 1 (mounting member 3) is positioned vertically with respect to the fixing member 7 (stopper function).
To the waterproof pan on the lower mounting wall 1d of the counter 1.
(See FIG. 4), for example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, a flange-shaped stopper 12 is projected from the lower end of the fixing member 7, and the stopper 12 The mounting wall 1d may be supported.

The positioning of the mounting member 3 in the longitudinal direction of the counter 1 is not always necessary because the end 1A of the counter 1 is prevented from being removed by the wall panels on both sides of the wall panel 11. It is of course possible to restrict the movement toward the inside in the fitting direction and to provide an appropriate stopper function by setting the length. further,
By forming the convex portion 6 of the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3 so as to protrude upward and downward, the silicon sealing 1 is formed.
3 can be eliminated.

As described above, in the mounting structure of the counter 1 of the above embodiment, the concave groove 2 is formed on the inner surface of the counter 1, and the convex ridges 4 of the mounting member 3 are inserted into the concave groove 2 at both ends. 1
The fitting member is fitted from the A direction, and the protrusion 6 of the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3 is fitted to the concave groove 8 of the fixing member 7 from above so that the fixing member 7 is fixed to a predetermined position in advance. The counter 1 can be mounted on the wall panel 11 only by fitting the mounting member 3 with which the counter 1 is integrated. As a result, the work of bonding the counter 1 and the mounting member 3 and the work of screwing as in the related art become unnecessary, and the workability of mounting the counter 1 can be improved.

After the fixing member 7 is fixed to the wall panel 11 in advance with the countersunk screw 10, it can be mounted by fitting the counter 1 on which the mounting member 3 is mounted, so that it can be mounted on the front wall 1 c of the counter 1. It is no longer necessary to provide an inspection window 62 for mounting as in the prior art, and a cover 63 for covering the inspection window 62 is not required.
Joints 64 are not generated on the front surface. As a result, joint 6
4 eliminates the occurrence of dirt, facilitates cleaning of the interior of the bathroom unit (counter 1), and improves the design value of the counter 1 such that the counter 1 itself has a clean feeling. .

Further, each face wall 1a to 1c of the counter 1
By simply providing the concave grooves 2, 8 and the ridges 4, 6 on the inner surface, the outer surfaces 3a to 3c of the mounting member 3 and the surface of the fixing member 7, the counter 1, the mounting member 3 and the fixing member 7 are formed. Since the three members can be connected and fixed, the shape of the fitting portion can be simplified, a more inexpensive mounting structure can be obtained, and the mounting member 3 and the fixing member 7 are formed by resin molding. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of corrosion and dirt as in the case of the conventional mounting bracket.

Since the concave grooves 2, 8 and the ridges 4, 6 are formed in a substantially inverted trapezoidal cross section, mutual movement of the counter 1, the mounting member 3, and the fixing member 7 other than the fitting direction is ensured. And the three members can be firmly connected and fixed. Furthermore, since the counter 1, the mounting member 3, and the fixing member 7 are fitted with the concave grooves 2, 8 by the ridges 4, 6, for example, when the counter 1 is repaired,
For example, when replacing the unit, the unit can be easily disassembled as compared with the case where the unit is fixed with an adhesive, and the maintenance work of the bathroom unit can be easily performed.

In the above embodiment, for example, the case where the concave groove 2 is provided in each of the face walls 1a to 1c of the counter 1 and the ridge 4 is provided in each of the face walls 3a to 3c of the mounting member 3 has been described. The groove 2 and the ridge 4 can be reversed as shown in FIG. 3A, and the mounting portion 5 of the mounting member 3 and the ridge 6 and the concave groove 8 of the fixing member 7 are also shown in FIG. The configuration can be reversed as shown in FIG.

Further, the shapes of the concave groove and the ridge as the fitting means of the three members are not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, the fitting between the counter 1 and the mounting member 3 may be performed on the flat inner surface and the outer surface shape without providing the concave groove 2 or the convex line 4, or the concave groove or the convex line of other appropriate shape may be formed. Can also be adopted. Further, in the above embodiment,
Although the counter 1 attached to the bathroom unit has been described, the counter 1 according to the present invention can also be applied to counters in various water surrounding spaces such as a system kitchen and a wash basin.

Further, the fitting direction relative to the fixed member 7 of the mounting member 3 which definitive to the above embodiments is not limited to the upper, in some cases it is of course possible to attach the appropriate direction, such as downward and laterally.

Further, the shape of the counter 1, the mounting position in the bathroom unit, the shapes of the mounting members 3 and the fixing members 7 and the number of used members in the above embodiment are merely examples, and the gist of each invention according to the present invention will be described. It goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the scope.
