The movable shelf is configured, and when the movable shelf is in a state of protruding to the front of the cabinet rather than being stored in the cabinet, in the width direction, from the center of the wash bowl portion. It is characterized by being arranged on a remote side.
In the vanity of the present invention configured as described above, the movable shelf can be moved to the front of the cabinet, so that the user can put in and out the stored items in an easy posture. In addition, the movable shelf is arranged on the side away from the center of the wash bowl portion in the width direction when it is in a state of protruding to the front of the cabinet rather than being stored inside the cabinet. Therefore, as compared with the conventional vanity that is drawn straight forward, even when the movable shelf is pulled out, face washing and hair washing can be performed without the movable shelf getting in the way. In addition, the movable shelf when housed in the cabinet is placed closer to the center of the wash bowl portion in the width direction than when it is pulled out, so the user can easily A movable shelf can be taken in and out.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the said movable shelf is pulled out diagonally front side. In the vanity of the present invention configured as described above, the movable shelf moves to a position away from the wash bowl portion in the width direction in proportion to the amount of drawer of the movable shelf. By pulling out, the movable shelf can be largely separated from the center of the wash bowl portion in the width direction.

In the present invention, the movable shelf can be rotated in a horizontal direction around a vertical rotation axis, and the horizontal width of the movable shelf when protruding from the front of the cabinet is the interior of the cabinet. It is preferable that the movable shelf is rotated so as to be smaller than the lateral width of the movable shelf in the state where the movable shelf is housed.
In the vanity of the present invention configured as described above, the mechanism is extremely simple compared to the case where the movable shelf is moved away from the wash bowl portion in the width direction using a rail mechanism or an arm mechanism. Can be achieved.

It is a disassembled perspective view of the movable shelf which concerns on the 3rd Embodiment of this invention. It is the figure which looked at the movable shelf which concerns on the 3rd Embodiment of this invention from the back surface side. It is a prior art example which shows the movable shelf of the conventional vanity.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the vanity of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a vanity according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2A is a top view showing a state in which a movable shelf is stored in the vanity according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2B is a top view showing a state where the movable shelf protrudes forward in the vanity of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vanity according to the present embodiment includes a vanity 3 having a vanity bowl 1 and a counter 2 at the upper part, a rear side of the front of the vanity 3, and from the vanity 3. And a cabinet CB in which a storage chamber is formed. On the front surface of the cabinet CB, three decorative mirrors 4 functioning as doors that open the front side of the storage room are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. Although not shown, a shower water discharge device capable of discharging water in the wash bowl 1 is provided.
In addition, an opening recess 30 that opens to the front side is formed in the lower part of the cabinet CB, that is, below the makeup mirror 4 of the cabinet CB. RC is provided. In the present embodiment, the movable shelf RC is disposed on the end side in the width direction of the cabinet CB.
The movable shelf RC is formed with a tray portion 12 so that small items such as glasses and contact lens cases can be stored.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the movable shelf RC when not in use is housed in the opening recess 30 below the cabinet CB, and the cabinet CB adjacent to the front of the movable shelf RC in order to enhance aesthetics. It is arrange | positioned so that it may become flush with the front surface. At this time, the movable shelf RC is disposed at a position where it interferes with the wash bowl portion 1 in the width direction.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the movable shelf RC in use is pulled out obliquely toward the front side so as to be away from the center of the wash bowl portion 1 in the width direction. Although not shown, movable rails for pulling out the movable shelf RC toward the front side are provided in a multistage shape in an oblique direction in the opening recess 30 of the cabinet CB. At this time, the movable shelf RC is disposed at a position where it does not interfere with the wash bowl portion 1 in the width direction.
That is, in the width direction between the center line of the wash bowl part 1 and the movable shelf RC in the state of being drawn out, the shortest distance L1 between the center line of the wash bowl part 1 and the movable shelf RC in the housed state. The movable shelf RC is pulled out so that the shortest distance L2 is larger.

  Thus, in the vanity stand of this embodiment, since the movable shelf RC can be moved ahead of the cabinet CB, the user can put in and out the stored items in an easy posture. In addition, the movable shelf RC is arranged on the side away from the center of the wash bowl portion 1 in the width direction when the movable shelf RC is in a state of protruding to the front of the cabinet CB than in the state of being inside the cabinet CB. Therefore, as compared with the conventional bathroom vanity that is drawn straight forward, even when the movable shelf RC is pulled out, it is possible to perform face washing and hair washing actions without the movable shelf RC getting in the way.

Further, in this way, the vanity of the present embodiment is particularly effective when it is desired to increase the storage amount of the movable shelf RC.
Generally, in order to increase the storage amount of the movable shelf RC, there are three methods: a method of increasing the depth of the movable shelf RC, a method of increasing the depth of the movable shelf RC, and a method of increasing the lateral width of the movable shelf RC. Conceivable. In order to increase the depth of the first movable shelf RC, the lower end position of the makeup mirror 4 is increased, or the height between the cabinet CB and the wash bowl portion 1 and the counter portion 2 is decreased. Therefore, it is not preferable. In the method of increasing the depth of the second movable shelf RC, it is necessary to increase the depth of the cabinet CB in order to store the movable shelf RC. As a result, the space between the front surface of the washstand 3 and the front surface of the cabinet CB is increased. This is not preferable because the depth is small. On the other hand, the method of increasing the horizontal width of the third movable shelf RC is considered to be the most ideal method for increasing the storage capacity without causing any trouble in the washing operation because there are no disadvantages as in the above two methods. However, the increase in the horizontal width of the movable shelf RC increases the probability that it will interfere with the space above the wash bowl portion 1 when the movable shelf RC is pulled out. For example, in the case of a drawer that is pulled straight forward like the conventional movable shelf shown in FIG. 8A, the movable shelf is extremely obstructive when washing the face or washing the hair.
However, according to the present invention, even when the width of the movable shelf R is increased in order to increase the amount of storage, the movable shelf RC is drawn away from the center of the wash bowl portion 1, so that it can be pulled out. Even if it exists, the probability that it interferes with the upper space of the wash bowl part 1 can be made low.

As described above, the vanity of the present embodiment is particularly effective in the case of a vanity having a small frontage. In the case of a vanity with a small frontage, this is a case where the movable shelf RC in the housed state is provided in any position in the width direction (for example, the end in the width direction of the cabinet CB that is most difficult to disturb) However, in the case of being pulled straight out like the conventional movable shelf shown in FIG. 8B, the movable shelf is extremely obstructive when washing the face or washing the hair.
However, according to the present invention, the movable shelf RC is drawn away from the center of the wash bowl portion 1 even in a washstand with a small frontage. The probability of interference with the upper space can be reduced.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A is a top view showing a state in which the movable shelf RC is stored in the vanity of the second embodiment, and FIG. 3B is a movable shelf RC of the vanity of the second embodiment. It is a top view which shows the state which protruded to the front side.
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the movable shelf RC in the housed state is provided at the center in the width direction of the cabinet CB. Further, the first embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the movement of the movable shelf RC in the pulled out state is restricted so as not to protrude outward from the side end of the cabinet CB.

  Thus, in the vanity of this embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, when pulling out the movable shelf RC in the storage state to the near side, from the user standing at the center of the wash bowl portion 1, Since it is in a relatively close position, the user can pull out the movable shelf in an easy posture.

  In this way, in the vanity table of this embodiment, even when the movable shelf RC is pulled out to the maximum extent, the movement is restricted so as not to protrude outward from the side end of the cabinet CB. Therefore, even when the vanity is installed in the corner of the room, the interior wall located on the side of the vanity and the movable shelf RC do not interfere with each other, so the vanity is installed everywhere. Even if it is done, it can respond.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4A is a top view showing a state in which the movable shelf RC is stored in the vanity table of the third embodiment, and FIG. 4B is a diagram showing the movable shelf in the vanity table of the third embodiment. It is a top view which shows the state which protruded ahead.
In the third embodiment, the movable shelf RC can be rotated in the horizontal direction around the vertical rotation axis, and the horizontal width of the movable shelf RC when in the stored state is formed larger than the depth, and the cabinet. The movable shelf RC rotates so that the horizontal width of the movable shelf RC when it is in a state of protruding to the front of the CB is smaller than the horizontal width of the movable shelf RC when it is stored inside the cabinet CB. Different from the first embodiment. In addition, the movement of the movable shelf RC in a state where it is rotated to the near side is restricted so that the movable shelf RC does not protrude outward from the side end of the cabinet CB, as in the first embodiment. Is different.

  As described above, in the vanity of this embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the movable shelf RC is moved away from the wash bowl portion 1 in the width direction by using a multistage rail mechanism or arm mechanism. Compared to the case of moving, this can be achieved with a very simple mechanism.

  Moreover, in the vanity of this embodiment, since the horizontal width of the movable shelf RC when it is in the stored state is formed to be larger than the depth, the front end of the movable shelf RC has a very simple structure and is closer to the front side. Since the portion can be arranged, the user can take out and put in small items from the movable shelf in an easy posture. Furthermore, the side end of the movable shelf RC opposite to the rotating shaft when stored in the cabinet CB is in the width direction of the wash bowl portion 1 as compared to when it is pulled out. Since it is arranged at a position close to the center, the user can operate the movable shelf RC with an easy posture.

  In this way, in the vanity of this embodiment, even if the movable shelf RC is rotated to the maximum extent, it is rotated so as not to protrude outward from the side end of the cabinet CB. Even if the vanity is installed at the corner of the room, the interior wall located on the side of the vanity and the movable shelf RC do not interfere with each other, so the vanity can be placed in any place. Even if is installed, it is possible to respond.

  Next, the movable shelf RC according to the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view for explaining the vicinity of the movable shelf RC attached to the cabinet CB. As shown in FIG. 5, the movable shelf RC is configured to be able to take in and out small items housed inside by jumping out from the cabinet CB.

  The movable shelf RC is composed of a box-shaped tray portion 12 and a plate-shaped concealing portion 10 attached in front of the tray portion 12 in the stored state. The tray part 12 is accommodated in the opening recessed part 30 provided so that it might dent in the back | inner side from the near side of the cabinet CB, and can accommodate an accessory. The concealing unit 10 is provided on the front side of the tray unit 12 in the housed state, and is configured to cover the front side opening of the opening recess 30. In the state where the tray portion 12 is accommodated in the recess 30, the concealing portion 10 covers the opening recess 30 and is flush with the cabinet front plate 32 of the cabinet CB.

  In the region where the one end side of the movable shelf RC in the horizontal direction is in contact with the opening recess 30, the tray portion 12 and one end side of the concealing portion 10 are pivotally supported so that the tray portion 12 is accommodated in the opening recess 30. Rotation support means that can be pulled out is provided. A latch 32a is disposed between the opening recess 30 and the cabinet front plate 32. When the movable shelf RC is rotated so that the tray portion 12 is accommodated in the opening recess 30, the latch 32 a sandwiches and holds an engaging protrusion (not shown in the drawing) provided in the concealing portion 10. It is configured. When the concealing unit 10 is pushed in from this state, the holding state is released, and the movable shelf RC is configured to be able to rotate forward.

  6 is an exploded perspective view of the vicinity of the movable shelf RC shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, a bearing portion 50 is attached to a bearing fixing plate 38 formed outside the opening recess 30 of the cabinet CB. The bearing portion 50 is fixed to the bearing fixing plate 38 with two fixing screws 52. The bearing portion 50 is provided with a pair of fixing portions 501 that are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction. The fixed portion 501 has a C-shaped cross section, and is configured to be able to sandwich the vertical axis portion 14. The vertical axis portion 14 is held by a vertical axis holding portion provided on the back surface of the concealing portion 10 of the movable shelf RC.

  FIG. 7 is a view of the movable shelf RC shown in FIG. 5 as viewed from the back side. As shown in FIG. 7, a standing wall portion 34 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the upper side of the opening portion on the near side of the opening recess 30. On the other hand, a protrusion 121 protruding upward is provided behind the tray 12 of the movable shelf RC. When the movable shelf RC is pulled out from the opening recess 30 to the near side, the protruding portion 121 abuts against the standing wall portion 34 to restrict the movable shelf RC from rotating further forward. Therefore, the standing wall 34 and the protrusion 121 are provided in a region where the upper portion of the movable shelf RC and the opening recess 30 are in contact with each other, and function as movement restricting means for restricting the movement of the movable shelf RC in the front-rear direction.
