Description

  The present invention relates to an embedded hand-washing machine in which a hand-washing machine is embedded in a wall.

  Conventionally, when installing a hand-washer in a narrow space such as a toilet room, by embedding a part of the main body of the hand-washer in the wall, the proportion of the hand-washer in the space is reduced, and the narrow space is effectively used. An embedded hand-washing machine that can be used is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  As shown in FIG. 7, this embedded type hand-washing machine accommodates a hand-washing machine C 'in a box-shaped cabinet A, and a cabinet A containing the hand-washing machine in a recess formed by recessing a wall of a toilet room. It is installed by burying.

  This hand-washing device integrally includes a bowl portion 11a capable of collecting water, a peripheral wall portion 12a standing from the outer edge of the bowl portion 11a, and a top plate portion 3a provided on the upper portion of the peripheral wall portion 12a and covering the upper portion of the bowl portion 11a. It is made of molded pottery, and by forming it in one piece in this way, a good appearance can be obtained without creating a joint even in the front part of the hand-washing machine C ′ exposed in the toilet room. It was supposed to be possible.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-9477

  By the way, in general, since pottery is highly hydrophilic, there is a problem that if such a hand-washing machine C 'is manufactured from pottery, scales easily adhere.

  Therefore, in order to eliminate this point, it is conceivable to use a synthetic resin having improved water repellency so that the scale does not easily adhere. However, as described above, the bowl portion 11a, the peripheral wall portion 12a, the top plate portion 3a, It is difficult to integrally mold the mold by mold molding because of the mold structure. For this reason, it has been considered to divide the hand-washing machine main body composed of the bowl part and the peripheral wall part and the top plate part, and mold the parts for each part and then combine the parts to form the hand-washing machine.

  However, if each part is molded in this way and each part is simply combined, the joint between the top plate and the peripheral wall is exposed at the front exposed on the front of the cabinet. The deterioration of appearance due to the conspicuous joints becomes a problem. Furthermore, even if the synthetic resin molded by the mold is a part of the same shape, there is a slight difference in the dimensions of each part (so-called manufacturing error), and a step is more likely to occur at the joint during assembly. Is.

  Therefore, if assembling is performed while eliminating the step and maintaining a smooth surface by manual work, the assembling work becomes troublesome and the workability deteriorates.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to form a bowl portion and its peripheral wall portion from a synthetic resin, and configure the whole in combination with a top plate portion. It is another object of the present invention to provide an implantable hand-washing machine that can make a joint portion inconspicuous without impairing workability.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

Moreover, the top plate part 3 provided with the to-be-attached part 31 attached to this attaching part 13 is provided. Furthermore, either one of the projection 4 or the locking hole 5 is provided at the front end on both sides of the upper end of the peripheral wall 12, and the other of the projection 4 or the locking hole 5 is provided on the top plate 3. And the top-plate part 3 was fixed to the hand-washing machine main body 1 in the state which inserted the protrusion part 4 in the locking hole 5 and positioned.

  With this configuration, even when the peripheral wall portion 12 has a substantially U-shaped cross section or a substantially U-shaped cross section, which is likely to cause a manufacturing error, the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5 and positioned. Thus, the top plate portion 3 can be fixed to the hand-washing machine main body 1, so that an accurate assembling operation can be performed by a simple operation of inserting the protruding portion 4 into the locking hole 5.

  In the invention according to claim 2, in the invention according to claim 1, the top plate portion 3 and the hand-washer main body 1 are pinched in a portion where the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5. A clamping member 9 was attached.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the gap from being generated even at the position where the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5 and positioned.

  According to the present invention, the surface of the peripheral wall portion and the surface of the top plate portion are flush with each other even when the handwasher body and the top plate portion are separately formed and each part is combined. Since these can be fixed after being positioned, it is possible to easily assemble the handwasher body and the top plate so that the workability in manufacturing the handwasher is improved. It can be made to.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fixing tool 71 of this embodiment includes a cylindrical spacer 75 sandwiched between a screw head 72, a washer 73, and a nut 74. By doing so, the screw thread of the screw shaft portion and the inner wall of the fixing tool insertion hole 7 are prevented from coming into direct contact.

  By the way, as described above, it is possible to perform horizontal positioning simply by inserting the protrusion 4 into the locking hole 5, and the front and outer surfaces of the peripheral wall contact portion 17 of the hand-washer body 1, and the top plate portion. 3 can be accurately assembled with the front surface and the outer surface of the top plate contact portion 33 being flush with each other, but the top plate portion 3 is warped upward or the front plate portion 3 When an external force is applied to the upper part, the gap between the joint part of the hand-washing machine main body 1 and the top plate part 3 is determined only by positioning the protrusion 4 and the locking hole 5 and fixing with the fixing tool 71. May occur. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a clamping member 9 that clamps the top plate portion 3 and the hand-washer main body 1 is attached to a portion where the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5, and the hand-washer main body 1 and The front plate 3 and the top plate 3 are also fixed to each other.

  The pinching member 9 is formed by bending an elastically deformable plate-shaped metal plate material into a U-shape. Specifically, it is composed of a pair of opposing horizontal pieces 91 and a vertical piece 92, and an introduction portion 93 is formed at the end of the horizontal piece 91 opposite to the side where the vertical pieces 92 are connected. Yes. The introduction portions 93 are formed so as to be separated from each other toward the tip. Further, a retaining hole 94 is formed in a part of the horizontal piece 91.

  Such a pinching member 9 is attached to a portion where the projection 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral wall contact portion 17 and the top plate contact portion 33. It is installed so as to be fitted from the rear to the front on the back of the. That is, the clamping member 9 is positioned in the above-described clamping member insertion recess 8 provided behind the peripheral wall contact portion 17 and the top plate contact portion 33, and the top plate portion 3 and the hand wash. It fits from the rear to the front in the part where the container body 1 overlaps. At this time, a locking claw 42 is provided at the upper end of the protrusion 4, but a slope 41 is provided so as to be lower toward the rear, and on the tip of the pinching member 9, an introduction portion 93 is provided. Thus, the pinching member 9 can be fitted forward while being easily elastically deformed. When the pressing member 9 continues to be pushed in, the locking claw 42 protruding from the locking hole 5 of the top plate portion 3 protrudes into the retaining hole 94 provided in the lateral piece 91 of the pressing member 9, and this clamping pressure The mounting of the member 9 is completed. When the retaining hole 94 is engaged with the locking claw 42, the pinching member 9 is prevented from easily falling off.

  As described above, since the clamping member 9 is mounted so as to be covered with the peripheral wall contact portion 17 and the top plate contact portion 33 which are exposed portions, when the hand-washer C is installed in the cabinet A, Therefore, the pinching member 9 can be prevented from being exposed in appearance, and the design is not impaired.

  Here, it is conceivable that a fixing tool insertion hole 7 is newly drilled in a portion where the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5 and the both are fixed using the fixing tool 71. 17 and the narrow part covered with the top plate contact part 33 is performed, and the work becomes very difficult. However, if the pinching member 9 of the present embodiment is used, it can be easily attached to a narrow part covered with the peripheral wall contact portion 17 and the top plate contact portion 33, so that workability is improved. This is very useful from the viewpoint of improvement.

  As described above, the size between the opposing side walls is likely to cause a manufacturing error due to its shape, and in addition, a peripheral wall contact portion 17 serving as an exposed portion is provided at the front portion of the side wall. However, since the protrusion 4 is inserted into the locking hole 5 and positioned at the front portion, the assembly work can be accurately performed by a simple operation of inserting the protrusion 4 into the locking hole 5. Can do. Further, the peripheral wall contact portion 17 and the top plate contact portion 33 that are exposed portions can be flush with each other, and the joint that is the joint portion can be made inconspicuous. A hand-washing machine C can be constructed.
