  In Patent Documents 1 and 2, since it is a bathroom vanity that focuses on being able to wash hair, a shower nozzle is used as a faucet fitting. For this reason, there exists a problem that it is difficult to use for the original use of a washbasin, such as toothbrushing and face washing. In particular, since the position of the shower nozzle cannot be changed in Patent Document 2, it is unusable even for hair washing.

  Further, in Patent Document 3, a spout is used as a faucet fitting, and the spout approaches the user by rotating the spout to the near side, but because it is a rotation in a horizontal plane, The height of the spout does not change. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to put the head under the spout and it is difficult to wash the hair. In order to make it easier to wash the hair, the spout position should be raised from the beginning. In this case, the water outlet becomes too high when washing a normal face or washing hands, and water splashing tends to occur.

  Further, a configuration in which an angle-shaped spout as shown in Patent Document 3 is rotated not in a horizontal plane but in a vertical plane is also conceivable. However, in this case, the “position of the spout goes up and down, but the position in the front-rear direction does not change, so it is difficult to use.

In order to solve the above-described problems, a vanity according to the present invention includes a washbasin placed on a base cabinet, and a base stand on the back side of the washbasin is used as a support portion extending upward, and the washbasin is provided. The spout that discharges water toward the base is supported by an oblique support hole formed in the support part, so that the base end part is inclined so that the vertical line is located on the upper side and the lower part is on the near side The axis of the spout and the axis of the length direction of the spout are orthogonal to each other and are arranged at the tip of the spout and the tip of the spout. A spout that is parallel to the water discharge direction axis of the water discharge section provided and that discharges water toward the basin by rotating the spout to the near side about the axis that is the rotation center of the base end of the spout. The position of the water discharge part at the tip becomes higher, About the axis serving as the rotation center of the base end portion of the serial spout that which can be rotated to the back side, the position of the water discharge portion of the spout tip of performing spouting toward the basin has to be lower.
With the above configuration, it is possible to select a height suitable for shampooing and a protruding position and a height suitable for face washing, hand washing or tooth brushing by a simple operation of rotating the spout.

  The water discharge portion at the tip of the spout can be turned around an axis in the length direction of the spout. With this configuration, the water discharge direction can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle.

  In addition, the axis of rotation of the spout and the axis of the length direction of the spout are orthogonal to each other, and the axis of rotation of the spout and the water discharge direction axis of the water discharge portion at the tip of the spout are made parallel to each other. Is also possible. With this configuration, even if the spout is rotated to change the water discharge position, the water discharge angle can be kept constant, and it is possible to prevent clothes from getting wet by water discharge in an unexpected direction.

In addition, the base end portion that is the rotation center of the spout is offset to the left or right from the center of the basin when viewed from the front, and the water discharge portion at the tip of the spout is viewed from the front with the spout rotated to the back side. It is good also as a structure located in the approximate center of a washbasin.
For example, it is easier for the water discharge position to be off the center of the basin because the head is lowered when washing the hair. On the other hand, when the hand is washed, the water discharge position is at the center of the basin. This is preferable because water repellency to water is reduced. This can be achieved by the above configuration.

  In addition, a shelf that protrudes forward is provided, and the spout is rotatably supported on the lower surface of the shelf, and the spout is hidden under the shelf at the storage position, so that the appearance is improved. In addition, the space above the basin when storing is widened so that the faucet will not be damaged even if an object is dropped from the makeup mirror. Because the protruding part of the part does not enter the eyes, you do not feel a sense of pressure or hit your head accidentally.

Moreover, it is good also considering the bottom face shape of the said washbasin as a substantially flat surface which becomes low toward the back | inner side. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to wash in a posture where it is easy to apply power, and when washing the small items in front of the flat surface, if the water discharge position is moved to the back side, water will flow into the hands and the wash. You won't be repelled by hitting it, and you can wash small items and wash without repelling water around you.
Furthermore, if a structure in which the spout is rotated toward the front is added, water can be discharged toward the front without turning the faucet toward the front, and the spout does not get in the way, so that the convenience during washing is improved.

  According to the vanity table according to the present invention, the spout is turned to the near side to increase the water discharge position, and the spout is turned to the back side to lower the water discharge position. It is easy to wash hair and do simple washing without obstructing the function of the washbasin.

  Further, according to the vanity table according to the present invention, the water discharge angle can be kept constant even if the water discharge position is changed, and even if the water discharge position is changed while water is discharged, water is not discharged in an unexpected direction. So there is no risk of getting the clothes wet.

  In addition, the spout's center of rotation can be offset from the center of the basin, and the spout can be attached to the bottom of the shelf provided on the support to improve the appearance and ease of use. By designing the shape, it is possible to make a vanity that is easy to wash.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a front view showing a state in which a spout of a vanity according to the present invention is rotated to the front side, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. It is.

  In the vanity table, a washbasin 2 is placed on a base stand (base cabinet) 1, and the base stand 1 on the back side of the washbasin 2 is used as a support portion 3 that extends upward. The support part 3 is hollow inside and has a shelf part 4 formed at the upper part. The base end part of the spout 6 constituting the faucet fitting is rotated via the packing 7 on the lower surface 5 with the back side of the shelf part 4 lowered. It is supported movably.

  A mirror cabinet 8 is mounted on the shelf 4, and the shelf 9 provided at the lower end of the mirror cabinet 8 and the shelf 4 are overlapped. In the embodiment, the mirror cabinet 8 and the support portion 3 are separated, but may be integrated. The mirror cabinet 8, the basin 2 and the support 3 may be integrated.

  The spout 6 is pivoted about an axis X1 whose base end tilts the vertical line to the back side, more specifically, an axis X1 which is in the vertical plane and the upper part is located on the back side and the lower part is located on the near side. It is attached to a support hole formed in the lower surface 5 as possible.

  In the drawing, the lower surface 5 of the shelf 4 is an inclined surface with the back side lowered, but the lower surface 5 may be a horizontal surface or a curved surface. In this case, the support holes for the spout 6 formed on the lower surface 5 may be formed obliquely.

  Here, since the spout 6 has a predetermined length, when the base end portion is rotated to the near side about the axis X1, the water discharge portion 10 at the tip end of the spout 6 as shown in FIGS. The position of the water discharger 10 becomes lower as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 when it is turned to the back side.

  The shape of the spout 6 is hollow and substantially L-shaped. The drainage hole 11 is formed at the lowest corner portion, the water discharge portion 10 is provided at the tip portion, and the water discharge portion 10 is inserted into the spout. The hot water pipe 12 is connected.

  The water discharger 10 may be integrated with the spout 6 or may be rotatable about an axis X2 in the longitudinal direction of the spout as shown in the example of the drawing. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it becomes easier to wash the hair by rotating in a state where the water discharging unit 10 is raised, and by rotating in a state where the position of the water discharging unit 10 is lowered as shown in FIG. 7, Gargle and brush your teeth.

  The axial line X2 in the length direction of the spout 6 is orthogonal to the axial line X1 serving as the rotation center of the spout 6, and in this state, the water discharge direction axis X3 from the water discharger 10 is parallel to the axis X1 (perpendicular to the axis X2). If the spout 6 is rotated about the axis X1 and the height position of the water discharger 10 is changed, the water discharge direction does not change. Therefore, the user can predict the direction of water discharge, and the cuffs are less likely to get wet.

In the illustrated example, the attachment position of the base end, which is the center of rotation of the spout 6, is offset from the center of the basin 2 to the left (may be right) in front view, and the spout 6 is rotated to the back. The water discharge part 10 at the tip of the spout is dimensioned so as to be positioned substantially at the center of the wash basin when viewed from the front in the stored state.
Further, in the housed state, the dimensions are determined such that substantially the whole is hidden below the shelf 4 as shown in FIG. With this configuration, it looks better and the space above the basin when stored is wide, and even if an object is dropped from the makeup mirror, the faucet is not damaged and the face is washed. Therefore, even if the face is brought close to the spout, the protrusion at the tip of the faucet does not enter the eyes, so there is no feeling of pressure or the head is accidentally bumped.

  FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing another embodiment of the water discharger. In this embodiment, the water discharger 10 is used as a shower nozzle and the shower nozzle can be pulled out from the spout 6.

9 and 10 are views similar to FIG. 2 showing another embodiment of the vanity.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the bottom surface 2a of the basin 2 is made to be a substantially flat surface and is lowered toward the back side, and further, a configuration in which the water discharge port rotates forward is added.
If it does in this way, even if it does not turn a water faucet, water can be sprinkled forward, and since the spout does not become an obstacle, the convenience at the time of washing improves. In addition, by adjusting the angle of the water discharge port, the water discharge range when the spout 6 is rotated to the back side is set to be near the intersection of the flat bottom surface 2 a and the inclined inner side surface 2 b of the basin 2. Can do.
In this way, by tilting the bottom surface 2a toward the back and making the water discharge range substantially coincide with the range of the bottom surface 2a, it is possible to wash in a posture where force can be easily applied when washing small items. If you adjust the angle of the spout and move the water discharge position to the back when washing small items, you will not be splashed with water on your hands or the wash, and you can wash small items without splashing water around you. And can wash.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 has a structure in which the wash basin 2 and the support portion 3 are integrally formed. In the above-described embodiment, the pipes and the like are arranged with the support part 3 being hollow, but the pipe may be provided on the back side of the support part 3 or inside the wall without necessarily making the support part 3 hollow.

  11 (a) and 11 (b) show still another embodiment. In this embodiment, the basin 2 and the counter 20 are integrally formed, and the support portion 3 is provided on the counter 20. Yes. A bracket 21 is attached to the wall surface, and the counter 20 is placed and fixed on the bracket 21.
