  Considering the above conventional needs, it is desirable that the frontage can be easily adjusted for a cabinet having rigidity despite the provision of a space portion below the top plate. However, there is a problem in that the technology for increasing the rigidity by attaching a reinforcing bar to the top plate and the technology for adjusting the frontage of the counter conflict with each other due to the construction of the cabinet.

  That is, the reinforcing bar that increases the rigidity is formed of steel or the like. In order to adjust the frontage of the counter, at the construction site where the cabinet is installed, the top plate is cut and the frontage width is adjusted to a desired length. At that time, the reinforcing bars attached in the frontage direction along the top plate must be cut using a tool such as a gold saw, and the work is to cut the top plate formed of wood or the like. Compared to the work, it takes a lot of work, and it is necessary to prepare a work tool separately.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the work for adjusting the frontage of the top plate at the construction site where the cabinet is installed is provided with rigidity while having a space portion below the top plate. It is an object of the present invention to realize a cabinet having a configuration that can be easily performed and improve workability.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a water tank, a top plate whose frontage dimensions can be adjusted by cutting , side plates attached to both ends of the top plate, and a storage provided below the top plate. Part, a space provided on the side of the storage unit, and a reinforcing bar extending in the direction of the front of the top plate along the lower surface of the top plate, the storage unit includes left and right side walls and a bottom wall, The reinforcing bar is inserted into a notch formed in the side wall on the space side of the storage unit, and one end of the reinforcing bar is arranged at a position close to one side plate, and the other end is inserted into the storage unit. The cabinet is characterized by being arranged in.

  It is preferable that the cabinet has a length in the front direction of the reinforcing bar that is substantially the same as the minimum dimension in the front direction of the top plate.

  In the case of widening the opening size of the top plate, it is preferable that the position of one end of the reinforcing bar is fixed as a reference, and the insertion dimension of the other end of the reinforcing bar into the storage portion is adjusted to be reduced.

  It is good also as a structure provided with the separate fixing member for fixing a top plate and a side plate.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the workability by providing a rigidity while having a space portion below the top plate, and by easily performing the work of adjusting the opening of the top plate at the construction site where the cabinet is installed. It becomes possible.

  The frontage dimension is adjusted at the construction site to be installed in accordance with the installation place such as a washroom where the cabinet 1 is installed. In order to adjust the frontage of the cabinet 1 as described above, the top plate 3 is cut so that the frontage size has a desired length in accordance with the desired size of the cabinet 1 in the frontage direction.

  FIG. 3B illustrates the maximum frontage dimension Wmax (for example, 1800 mm) of the top plate 3 corresponding to the maximum frontage dimension in the adjustable frontage dimension range (for example, 1200 to 1800 mm) of the cabinet 1, and the cabinet. The minimum frontage dimension Wmin (for example, 1200 mm) of the top plate 3 corresponding to the minimum adjustable frontage dimension of 1 is shown. In FIG. 3B, the left end of the top 3 corresponding to the minimum frontage dimension is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  The top plate 3 is appropriately cut in the front-rear direction at an installation site or the like corresponding to the adjustment of the frontage dimension of the cabinet 1 in the region S between the maximum frontage dimension Wmax and the minimum frontage dimension Wmin. The

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A, the storage unit 5 is fixed between the left and right side walls 11 whose top surface is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3 and the lower ends of the left and right side walls 11. A bottom wall 12 is provided. The storage unit 5 is actually configured to be opened and closed by a door or configured to be opened and closed by a drawer, but the storage unit 5 shown in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the door or the drawer is removed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, rectangular cutouts 13 are formed on the top surface and the front corner of the left side wall 11 of the storage portion 5. As will be described later, a reinforcing bar 7 is inserted into the notch 13 from the space 6 side so as to be inserted into the storage portion 5.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, a piping cover 14 is provided on the floor 15 below the bottom wall 12 of the storage unit 5. Even when the cabinet 1 is viewed from the front side, It can be hidden so that piping such as water supply pipes and drainage pipes cannot be seen. The piping cover 14 is placed on the floor surface 15 in a positional relationship as shown in FIG. 1B with respect to the storage unit 5, but is not necessarily attached to the storage unit 5.

  The space portion 6 is formed between the left side plate 4 and the left side wall 11 of the storage portion 5, and can put a foot when the user sits in front of the cabinet 1. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a shelf plate 16 is appropriately bridged and attached to the space portion 6 between the left side plate 4 and the left side wall 11 of the storage portion 5.

  The reinforcing bars 7 are formed of steel or the like, and as shown in FIGS. 1B, 2A and 2B, along the lower surface 17 on the front edge side of the top plate 3, the space portions 6 and It arrange | positions so that it may correspond to the accommodating part 5, and is screwed and attached to the lower surface 17 of the top plate 3. FIG.

  This configuration will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the front edge side of the top plate, but a front sag 18 that hangs downward from the lower surface of the top plate 3 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the top plate 3 on the front edge side of the top plate 3. The reinforcing bars 7 are attached to the lower surface 17 of the top plate 3 adjacent to the rear side of the front sag 18 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B).

  The reinforcing bars 7 are mainly arranged corresponding to the space part 6, but the parts arranged to extend from the space part 6 into the storage part 5 are as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). The left side wall 11 is inserted through a notch 13.

  Since one end of the reinforcing bar 7 is disposed at a position close to the left (one) side plate 4 corresponding to the space portion 6 and the other end is inserted into the storage portion 5, the frontage can be easily adjusted, and at least Since the reinforcing bar 7 is always installed in the space 6 and the other end can be maintained by the storage unit 5, the rigidity of the cabinet 1 can be increased.

  The dimension L in the frontage direction of the reinforcing bar 7 is the top board 3 as shown in FIG. 3B when it becomes the minimum dimension in the adjustable frontage dimension range (for example, 1200 to 1800 mm) of the cabinet 1. The minimum frontage dimension Wmin (for example, 1200 mm) is substantially the same length.

  More precisely, the top plate 3 is cut at the cutting position Cmin shown in FIG. 4 (a) so that the size L in the front direction of the reinforcing bar 7 is the minimum front size Wmin that can be adjusted. When the left side plate 4 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4A, the length in which the reinforcing bar 7 fits in the storage portion 5 and the space portion 6 is shown. The length is very close to the frontage dimension Wmin.

  When the dimension L in the frontage direction of the cabinet 1 is adjusted to the minimum dimension by setting the dimension L in the frontage direction of the reinforcing bar 7 to such a length, when the frontage dimension of the top plate 3 is set to the minimum dimension Wmin. The size of the reinforcing bar 7 is larger than the size of the top plate 3 (more precisely, the size obtained by subtracting the thickness of the left and right side plates 4 from the minimum size Wmin of the top plate 3). There is nothing, and it fits in the accommodating part 5 and the space part 6, Therefore, it is not necessary to cut | disconnect the reinforcement crosspiece 7. FIG.

  By the way, in order to make the frontage dimension of the cabinet 1 more than the adjustable minimum dimension, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the frontage dimension of the top plate 1 becomes the length of the dimension Wmid which is the minimum dimension Wmin or more. When the top plate 3 is cut at the cutting position Cmid and the left side plate 4 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. One end (left end of FIG. 4B) is close to the side plate 4 of one side (left side of FIG. 4B), and the other end of the reinforcing bar 7 is adjusted in a direction in which the insertion dimension into the storage portion 5 becomes smaller. And is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3.

  In short, the reinforcing bar 7 is arranged in the frontage direction so as to correspond to the frontage area of the space 6 at the maximum, and the portion beyond the space 6 is inserted through the notch 13 of the left side wall 11 as described above. Then, it is inserted into the storage unit 5 and arranged. As a result, rigidity is imparted so as to suppress the deflection that tends to occur mainly in the region corresponding to the space portion 6 of the top plate 3.
