  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the vanity table 1 is provided with a cabinet 2 that is a box having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The width is larger than the depth, and the width exceeds 1000 mm. It is possible to support this module.

  The front surface 3 of the cabinet 2 has a decorative curtain plate 4 forming the upper end thereof, a front plate 5a of a drawer 5 provided immediately below the curtain plate 4, and a drawer 6 provided immediately below the drawer 5. And the front plate 6a. The depth of the drawer 6 is deeper than the depth of the drawer 5, and the storage amount of the drawer 6 is larger than the storage amount of the drawer 5.

  The back surface of the cabinet 2 located opposite to the front surface 3 is formed by a back plate 7, and a left side plate 9 that forms the left side surface 8 of the cabinet 2 and a right side surface 10 of the cabinet 2 are formed at the left and right ends of the front surface 3. A right side plate 11 to be formed is provided. The back plate 7 has a horizontally long rectangular shape corresponding to the width of the vanity 1, while the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 11 have a vertically long rectangular shape. The curtain plate 4, the back plate 7, the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 11 are all made of wood.

  The cabinet 2 opens upward, and fits into the upper end of the curtain plate 4, the back plate 7, the left side plate 9, and the right side plate 11 in a horizontally long rectangular opening surrounded by them. A counter 12 having a thickness is provided as a top plate 13 of the cabinet 2. The counter 12 is made of synthetic resin and can be formed from so-called artificial marble. Moreover, in the counter 12, the wash bowl 14 is integrally formed in the substantially center part with the flat plate parts 15 and 16 located in both right and left sides. A drainage port 17 penetrating vertically is formed on the bottom side of the wash bowl 14 on the back side.

  Further, in the counter 12, a rising wall portion 18 having a horizontally long rectangular shape is erected upward at the rear end portion. An attachment port 19 for attaching a faucet fitting is formed in the rising wall portion 18 so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction. The rising wall portion 18 can also be formed integrally with the wash bowl 14 and the flat plate portions 15 and 16 in the counter 12.

  Moreover, in the cabinet 2, the cylindrical base ring 20 which has a substantially rectangular shape is attached to the lower end. The front surface 20a of the pedestal 20 is arranged behind the front surface 3 of the cabinet 2, and in the bathroom vanity 1, a kick that is large enough to allow a fingertip of a person performing hand-washing or washing directly under the front surface 3 21 is formed.

  In the cabinet 2 provided in the vanity table 1 as described above, the curtain plate 4 is arranged immediately below the counter 12 and covers the vanity bowl 14 formed integrally with the counter 12 from the front side, thereby covering the vanity table. 1 has a good appearance. As shown in FIG. 1, the curtain plate 4 is fixed to the front end portions of the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 11 by L-shaped metal fittings 22 attached to the back surfaces of both left and right end portions by fixing tools such as screws. . The L-shaped metal fitting 22 is also attached to the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 11 with a fastener such as a screw.

  Further, the curtain plate 4 is also fixed to the front bar 23 disposed over the lower end portion thereof and the upper end portion of the front plate 5a of the drawer 5 by the fixing tool 24 at two locations slightly closer to the center. The front rail 23 is installed between the left side plate 9 and the right side plate 11 at the front end of the cabinet 2. The front bar 23 is not only for fixing the curtain plate 4 but also has a lower end portion which can contact the back surface of the front plate 5a of the drawer 5 and has a function as a door stop.

  Such fixing of the curtain plate 4 has sufficient strength, and can prevent unexpected dropout.

  On the other hand, when the width module of the vanity 1 is expanded to a size exceeding 1000 mm, the curtain plate 4 becomes long, and a person standing in front of the vanity 1 leans on it. When an external force is applied, there is a concern that the curtain plate 4 is deformed so as to bend backward. In order to suppress this deformation, in the cabinet 2, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (a) and 4 (b), a substantially conical projection 26 projecting upward is formed on the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4. Are provided at regular intervals. In addition, the back surface portion 27 on the front end side of the counter 12 is provided with a concave portion 29 that can enter the projection 26 at a position facing the projection 26, has a substantially circular opening 28, and is recessed upward. ing.

  When the counter 12 is attached to the upper end of the cabinet 2, each protrusion 26 enters and engages with one of the opposing recesses 29. Since the engagement between the projections 26 and the recesses 29 extends over the entire width of the curtain plate 4 and the counter 12, external force such as leaning on a person standing in front of the bathroom vanity 1 is applied to the curtain plate 4. Even if it adds, it can suppress that the curtain 4 deform | transforms so that it may bend back. Although the engagement between the protrusions 26 and the recesses 29 is partial, the bending deformation of the elongated curtain plate 4 is sufficiently suppressed.

  Further, since each of the recesses 29 having the substantially circular opening 28 is independent, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the strength of the counter 12 compared to a continuous one such as a linear groove. .

  In addition, each protrusion 26 can be produced individually and can be attached by embedding the lower end portion in the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4 like a dowel. However, considering the attaching operation, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable to employ a band-shaped component 30 having a plurality of protrusions 26 at regular intervals. By attaching the strip-shaped component 30 to the upper end surface of the curtain plate 4, the protrusions 26 can be easily and easily attached to the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4 at regular intervals.

  In the band-shaped component 30, a plurality of protrusions 26 are provided at regular intervals on a thin band-shaped base material 31 having a width substantially matching the thickness of the curtain plate 4, and each protrusion 26 is formed integrally with the base material 31. Yes. For example, a lip tape or the like can be used for the base material 31. In this case, the base plate 31 can be attached and fixed to the upper end surface of the curtain plate 4 with an adhesive provided on the back surface of the lip tape. The attaching operation of the protrusion 26 becomes simpler and easier.

  Further, the protrusion 26 is preferably formed from a thermoplastic resin. The protrusions 26 formed from the thermoplastic resin can be elastically deformed, and the load applied to the protrusions 26 can be reduced when an external force is applied to the curtain plate 4 so as to bend. Suppression of the deflection deformation of the curtain plate 4 can be realized stably.

  Further, it is preferable that the concave portion 29 has a spindle shape with a large frontage so that the inner peripheral surface 32 has a conical surface that is the side surface 33 of the protrusion 26 and can be wrapped from the outside. Thus, when the projection 26 is inserted into the recess 29, the dimensional tolerance due to the arrangement position of the curtain plate 4 and the counter 12 can be absorbed, and the projection 26 can be easily inserted into the recess 29. In addition, the insertion can be performed reliably. Further, high processing accuracy is not required for forming the recess 29. The formation of the recess 29 may be performed simultaneously with the forming of the counter 12 or after the forming.

  In the curtain plate deformation suppressing structure in the cabinet of the present invention, the protrusion 26 can be provided on the back surface portion 27 on the front end side of the counter 12, and the concave portion 29 can be provided on the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4. In this case, the protrusion 26 protrudes downward from the back surface portion 27 on the front end side of the counter 12, and the recess 29 is provided so as to be recessed below the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4. Even in this case, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the curtain plate 4 in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

  Further, in the curtain plate deformation suppressing structure in the cabinet of the present invention, not only the projections 26 and the recesses 29 are provided at regular intervals, but also the interval provided on the upper end surface portion 25 of the curtain plate 4 and the back surface portion 27 on the front end side of the counter 12. As long as the distance provided between the protrusions 26 is the same, the distance between the protrusions 26 and the distance between the recesses 29 are not constant and may be arbitrary.

  And the deformation | transformation suppression structure of the curtain in the cabinet of this invention can be similarly applied not only to a vanity but also to the cabinet with which a kitchen apparatus etc. are equipped.
