Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom counter, and more particularly to a bathroom counter that is used by placing a basin or the like during bathing.

Conventionally, as this type of counter, for example, there is one that is formed so that the upper surface is inclined downward and the water on the upper surface is drained by flowing backward (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, as a conventional product of this type, for example, the place where the basin is placed is recessed in a ball shape, and the upper surface of the ball portion is covered with a sword-like lid so that the basin can be placed on the lid. In some cases, water flowing out from the basin is received by a ball portion and drained by a drain pipe connected to the bottom of the ball portion (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Therefore, since the upper surface of the counter described in Patent Document 1 is inclined to the rear side, when the basin is placed on the upper surface, the basin was easily slid and moved to the rear side (wall side). Therefore, according to this conventional product, the position of the basin is far from the bather, and there is an inconvenience that the bather has to extend his arm or tilt his body forward, which is inconvenient.
Further, in the case of this conventional product, since the basin is in contact with the upper surface of the basin, there is a problem that water is easily left on the upper surface of the lower side of the basin, and drying of this portion is slow.

In addition, the conventional product described in Patent Document 2 does not allow the basin to come into contact with the top surface of the sword-like lid, but according to this, it takes time and effort to clean the lid, and a lid and a drain pipe are required. It was inevitable that the cost increased and the price increased.
JP 2000-5089 A JP-A-11-235287

The present invention has been proposed in view of such problems of conventional products.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is a bathroom counter in which a basin placing part for placing a basin is formed on the upper surface, and can be reliably placed in a predetermined position without sliding the basin, An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom counter that is formed so that drainage and drainage of the upper surface corresponding to the lower surface of the basin can be promoted, and that accessories can be removed to facilitate cleaning and reduce the cost.

The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.
That is, the present invention is a bathroom counter in which a basin holder 2 for placing a basin 1 is formed on the upper surface 3 as shown in FIG. The basin 1 is formed so as to be able to support the basin 1 on its inner peripheral surface so as to be able to support the basin 1 on its inner peripheral surface, and the drainage channel 4 descends from the bottom 2a toward the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 3. It is formed in an inclined shape (claim 1).

  Here, the substantially inverted conical shape includes a pyramid shape such as an inverted quadrangular pyramid, and as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the inner peripheral surface of the basin holder 2 may have a longitudinally curved concave shape or a straight line. This means that it may be formed in an inverted triangle shape. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, the outline of the basin holder 2 is not limited to a circular shape, and may be a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle. Further, here, the washbasin 1 is formed so as to be freely supported on the inner peripheral surface, and the diameter of the opening surface of the washbasin mounting portion 2 is the bottom surface of the washbasin 1 (the bottom surface of the thread bottom-like leg 1a (FIG. 2 etc.)). When there is a reference), it means that the diameter is larger than the diameter of the leg 1 a) and the bottom 2 a of the basin holder 2 is smaller than the diameter of the lower surface of the basin 1. Further, in the case of the present invention, if the drainage channel 4 is formed in a downwardly inclined shape toward the outer peripheral portion, it is formed in a downwardly inclined shape in any direction such as before and after the upper surface 3 or left and right. However, the drainage channel 4 is not limited to one.

Thus, in the bathroom counter of the present invention, the basin holder 2 is formed at the central position in the left-right direction of the upper surface 3, and the drainage channel 4 is formed in a downwardly inclined manner and flows from the drainage channel 4. It is preferable that the drainage groove 5 for guiding the descending water in the left-right direction is formed on the rear side of the upper surface 3 so as to have a downward slope with the center position 5a in the left-right direction as the apex (Claim 2).
This is because a mirror and a faucet can be arranged and used in a well-balanced position on the bathroom wall corresponding to the center of the counter. Further, in this case, the water in the basin holder 2 can be guided from the rear side of the upper surface 3 in the left-right direction and drained to a position far from the bather's feet, thereby preventing the feet from getting wet. Moreover, according to this, it becomes a left-right symmetric shape, and it is because the left-hand and right-hand specifications of a bathroom can be shared.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the outline of the basin holder 2 is circular in a plan view.
The basin 1 is usually formed in a circular shape in plan view. Therefore, according to this, the basin 1 is positioned concentrically in the basin holder 2 and can be placed horizontally and stably.

Further, according to the present invention, it is preferable that the streaky convex step 6 for receiving the basin 1 is formed radially on the inner peripheral surface of the basin holder 2 centering on the bottom 2a (claim 4).
This is because, according to this, the contact area of the washbasin 1 can be suppressed by the convex step 6, and the remaining water at the contact location can be prevented accordingly. Moreover, in this case, it is because the water which flows down from the washbasin 1 etc. through the groove | channel between the convex steps 6 can be poured to the bottom 2a, and drainage property improves.

In the present invention, the basin placement part for placing the basin is recessed into a generally inverted conical shape that spreads upward, and the basin can be supported on the inner peripheral surface. The drainage channel is formed so as to be inclined downward from the bottom of the tube toward the outer periphery.
Therefore, in the case of the present invention, a gap is formed between the lower surface of the basin and the upper surface of the counter, and the basin can be placed without contacting the lower surface of the basin to the upper surface of the counter.
Therefore, according to this, draining and draining of the upper surface position of the counter corresponding to the basin can be promoted, and thirst of this portion can be accelerated.
Further, according to the present invention, since the basin does not slide and move, the bather can easily use the basin without stretching his arms or being forced to take an unreasonable posture.
In the case of the present invention, a special accessory is not required for placing a washbasin or draining water on the upper surface. Therefore, according to this, not only cleaning is facilitated, but also component costs and assembly costs can be suppressed, and products can be provided at low cost.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention is a bathroom counter in which a basin placing part 2 for placing a basin 1 is formed on an upper surface 3. The wash basin holder 2 is formed in a substantially inverted conical shape that extends upward and is formed so as to freely support the wash basin 1 on its inner peripheral surface.

  In this embodiment, the basin holder 2 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from above. Moreover, the diameter of the opening surface of the basin holder 2 is larger than the diameter of the thread-bottomed leg 1a (see FIG. 2 etc.) on the lower surface of the basin 1, and in this embodiment is about 180 millimeters or more, and the bottom 2a. Is smaller than the diameter of the leg 1a of the basin 1 and is selected to be about 120 millimeters or less. Further, the basin holder 2 of this embodiment is formed at the center position of the upper surface 3 in the left-right direction.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a drainage channel for draining water collected at the bottom 2 a of the basin holder 2. In this embodiment, the drainage channel 4 is formed so as to be inclined downward from the bottom 2 a of the basin holder 2 toward the rear side as the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface 3. In the case of this embodiment, the drainage channel 4 is formed so that the left and right widths are the same over the front-rear direction.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a drainage groove that guides water flowing down from the drainage channel 4 in the left-right direction. The drain groove 5 is formed on the rear side of the upper surface 3 so as to be inclined downward with the central position 5a in the left-right direction as a vertex. The upper surface 3 protrudes in an arc shape in a plan view on the washing area side (front side), and is formed in a substantially semicircular shape in a plan view. And the upper surface position 3a (refer FIG. 1B) of the left-right side of the washbasin mounting part 2 is formed in plane shape so that soap etc. can be mounted, and it is slightly toward the drain groove 5 so that draining and draining may be improved. It is formed in the shape of an inclined surface with a downward slope.

Next, a usage example of the present invention and a flow of water will be described.
The bather uses the basin 1 on the basin holder 2 concentrically. Since the basin holder 2 has an inverted conical shape and supports the basin 1 on the inner peripheral surface, when the basin 1 is arranged in the basin holder 2, the lower surface of the basin 1 and the basin are provided in the present invention. A gap is formed between the bottom 2a of the placing portion 2 and the like. Therefore, according to the product of the present invention, water at a position corresponding to the lower surface of the basin 1 passes through the drainage channel 4 without being disturbed by the basin 1, and in this embodiment, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. It is led from the drainage groove 5 to the left and right and drained.
In the present invention product, since the basin holder 2 has an inverted conical shape, the bather inclines the basin 1 toward the front (washing station side) so that the hot water of the basin 1 can be easily poured. It can also be used by being placed on the holder 2.

  In the above place, as shown in FIG. 7 and the like, the present invention has a streaky convex step 6 for receiving the basin 1 on the inner peripheral surface of the basin holder 2 in a radial manner around the bottom 2a. It may be formed. In this embodiment, the convex step 6 is formed long from the bottom 2a of the basin holder 2 to the outer peripheral edge. In the case where the basin holder 2 is formed in this way, the contact area with the basin 1 can be suppressed, so that the contact portion can be quickly dried. Moreover, since water can flow through between the convex steps 6, according to this, there is an advantage that draining and draining of the upper surface 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the basin holder 2 are improved.

Further, in the above example, the drainage channel 4 is formed to have the same left and right widths in the front-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the drainage channel 4 may be formed so as to expand toward the rear side, or conversely, may be formed in a tapered shape. When the drainage channel 4 is formed in a parallel shape or a tapered shape as in the above example, the area of the inner peripheral surface of the basin holder 2 is smaller than that in the case where the drainage channel 4 is formed to be tapered toward the rear side, for example. There is no narrowing. Therefore, according to this, there exists an advantage that the washbasin 1 can be supported stably.
Further, in the case of the present invention, for example, a drainage hole may be formed at the end of the drainage channel 4 and drained to the washing place through this drainage hole, and this is limited to the case where the drainage groove 5 as in the above example is formed. Is not to be done.

The suitable embodiment of the counter for bathrooms of this invention is shown, A is a perspective view, B is a top view. It is the II-II sectional view taken on the line of FIG. 1B. It is a front view at the time of use condition of a counter same as the above. It is the IV-IV sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a right view at the time of use of a counter same as the above. A and B are the principal part longitudinal cross-sectional views which show the structure of a washbasin mounting part. It is a perspective view which shows other embodiment of a counter same as the above. It is the VIII-VIII sectional view taken on the line of FIG.
