Description

  Aspects of the invention generally relate to a bathroom counter mounted on a bathroom wall.

  A bathroom counter is attached to the wall of the bathroom to ease the task of cleaning the bathroom in the home. The user can place the wash basin above the washroom by utilizing the bathroom counter.

  Here, there is a counter formed of three members of a top member, a body member, and a bracket (Patent Document 1). In the counter described in Patent Document 1, the bracket is fixed to the wall surface and supports the top member. The top member has, on the rear side, a groove forming portion formed one step lower than the top surface, and the upper surface of the groove forming portion is the bottom surface of the drainage groove (see Patent Document 1 and FIG. 5).

  However, in the counter described in Patent Document 1, an inward corner is formed at the corner formed by the top member and the wall surface. In the counter of Patent Document 1, it is difficult to clean the inside corner because the width of the drainage groove in the front-rear direction is relatively narrow, and it is not easy to remove water droplets and soap scum stuck to the inside corner. Therefore, there is a risk that the counter described in Patent Document 1 may impair the beauty of the bathroom due to the dirt adhering to the inside corner.

  On the other hand, there is a countered bathroom in which the counter is provided apart from the bathtub and the wall (Patent Document 2). In the countered bathroom described in Patent Document 2, a support penetrates the counter in the longitudinal direction to support the counter. However, even in the countered bathroom described in Patent Document 2, since the support passes through the counter, an input corner is formed at the corner formed by the side end surface of the counter and the support. Therefore, it is not easy to remove the dirt adhering to the inside corner, and there is room for improvement in that it may impair the beauty of the bathroom.

  This invention is made in view of such a subject, and an object of this invention is to provide the counter for bathrooms which can improve the beauty of a bathroom.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a support attached to a wall surface of a bathroom and having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a top plate supported on the lower surface by the support material and horizontally spaced from the wall and the bath. The upper surface of the support and the lower surface of the support are inclined downward from the top plate toward the wall surface, and the position where the upper surface of the support abuts the wall surface is the height of the top plate. The lower surface is located lower than the lower surface, and the upper surface of the support member has a first surface and a second surface provided between the first surface and the wall surface with respect to the horizontal direction. The angle of the second surface is 0 ° or more and is smaller than the angle of the first surface with respect to the horizontal direction, and the support member is inclined to have the first surface and the second surface. A surface portion, and an elevation portion connecting between the inclined surface portion and the top plate; And, the standing surface portion, wherein from the top plate in a state where the support member is attached to the wall and the wall is a bathroom counter, characterized that you slopes downwardly in the opposite direction.

According to this bathroom counter, the upper surface of the support and the lower surface of the support incline downward from the lower surface of the top plate toward the wall surface. Therefore, the position where the upper surface of the support material abuts the wall surface is lower than the position of the lower surface of the top plate.
Therefore, in the eyes of the user who uses the bathroom counter, the inward corner formed at the corner between the support and the wall surface enters the blind spot of the top plate. Therefore, even if water or dirt accumulates in the inside corner formed at the corner formed by the support material and the wall surface, the user can not visually recognize the inside corner, thereby preventing the user from exposing dirt that is difficult to remove Be done. The beauty of the bathroom is good.

  The upper surface of the support and the lower surface of the support are inclined downward from the lower surface of the top plate to the wall surface. Therefore, the support itself can not be visually recognized from the user's eyes. The user recognizes that the counter is floating. The beauty of the bathroom is even better.

  Furthermore, the angle of the second surface with respect to the horizontal direction is smaller than the angle of the first surface with respect to the horizontal direction. Therefore, even when the upper surface of the support member is inclined downward from the top plate toward the wall surface, the angle between the wall surface and the upper surface of the support member can be increased, and the support member is formed on this corner portion It is possible to improve the cleanability of the entry corner.

  According to a second invention, in the first invention, the upper surface of the support material further has a concavely curved central curved surface provided between the first surface and the second surface. Is a bathroom counter.

  According to this bathroom counter, since the central curved surface of the upper surface of the support is curved, when cleaning the upper surface of the support where water and dirt are likely to be collected, the water and the first surface and the second surface The dirt can be easily cleaned, and the workability at the time of cleaning can be improved.

  According to a third invention, in the first or second invention, the support includes a support main body attached to the wall surface and supporting the top plate, and a support cover covering an outer periphery of the support main body. It is a bathroom counter that is characterized.

  According to this bathroom counter, the support body can have a relatively complicated structure because the support cover covers the periphery of the support body. As a relatively complicated structure, for example, a structure provided with a rib for securing load resistance supporting a top plate can be mentioned. That is, the peripheral portion of the support main body can be formed by a surface such as a flat surface or a curved surface. Thereby, the support material can be cleaned relatively easily while securing the load resistance of the support material body.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, a lateral length of a portion of the support material existing between the top plate and the wall surface is the lateral direction of the top plate. It is a bathroom counter characterized in that it is shorter than the length of.

  According to this bathroom counter, by reducing the area of the upper surface of the support material to which water is likely to be applied, it is possible to reduce the area in which water is collected on the upper surface of the support material. Thus, the area of the support material on which stains due to water stains, soap scum, and the like can be suppressed, so that the time and effort for cleaning the support material can be reduced.

  According to an aspect of the present invention, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bathroom counter capable of improving the appearance of a bathroom by making the support of the top plate invisible to the user.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a bathroom in which a bathroom counter according to the present embodiment is installed.
FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of arrow A1 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bathroom counter 300 according to the present embodiment includes a top plate 310 and a support 320, and is attached to the first wall surface 110 of the washing place 100 of the bathroom 10. There is. The first wall surface 110 is provided between the bathtub 200 and a second wall 120 opposed to the bathtub 200, and is connected to the bathtub 200 and the second wall 120.

  A faucet 400 and a mirror 500 are attached to the first wall 110. The faucet 400 supplies water, for example, to a basin placed on the top plate 310. In the present specification, “water” includes not only cold water but also heated hot water.

  The support 320 is attached to the first wall 110. More specifically, one end of the support member 320 is fixed to the first wall surface 110. Thereby, the inward corner 391 is formed between the support member 320 and the first wall surface 110.

  In the specification of the present application, the term "inward corner" refers to a portion inside of a portion where a plurality of surfaces are connected to each other. Alternatively, in the specification of the present application, the term "inset corner" refers to a recessed portion at a point where a plurality of surfaces are connected to each other.

  The other end of the support member 320 supports the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310.

  The support member 320 has an upper surface 321 and a lower surface 322. The upper surface 321 and the lower surface 322 are inclined downward from the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 to the first wall surface 110.

  In the specification of the present application, “below” means the direction on the side of the support member 320 as viewed from the top plate 310 in the vertical direction when the bathroom counter 300 is attached to the first wall surface 110. As used herein, "upper" refers to the opposite direction as "lower." In the specification of the present application, the “front” is a direction perpendicular to the first wall 110 when the bathroom counter 300 is attached to the first wall 110, and the bathroom counter 300 is viewed from the first wall 110. Say the direction of the In the specification of the present application, “rearward” means the opposite direction to “frontward”.

  The upper surface 321 of the support member 320 has a first surface 321 a, a second surface 321 b, and a central curved surface 321 c. The second surface 321 b is provided between the first surface 321 a and the first wall surface 110. The central curved surface 321 c is provided between the first surface 321 a and the second surface 321 b. The central curved surface 321 c is concavely curved.

The first angle θ1 (the angle of the first surface) shown in FIG. 2 is the angle of the first surface 321a with respect to the horizontal direction. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the second angle θ2 (the angle of the second surface, see FIG. 10) is 0 °, that is, an example in which the second surface 321b is horizontal. The second angle θ2 shown in FIG. 10 is the angle of the second surface 321b with respect to the horizontal direction.
The second angle θ2 is smaller than the first angle θ1.

  As described above, the inward corner 391 is formed between the support member 320 and the first wall surface 110. Even if the dirt adhering to the corner 391 is cleaned, it is difficult to remove it, and the beauty of the bathroom 10 may be impaired.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the upper surface 321 of the support 320 and the lower surface 322 of the support 320 are inclined downward from the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 toward the first wall 110 as described above. There is. As a result, on the upper surface 321 of the support member 320, the position in contact with the first wall surface 110 is lower than the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310. Therefore, in the eyes of the user who uses the top plate 310, the entry corner 391 enters the blind spot of the top plate 310.
Therefore, even if water or dirt accumulates in the inside corner 391, the user can not visually recognize the inside corner 391. Therefore, it is suppressed that a user who is hard to remove dirt is exposed. Thereby, the beauty of the bathroom 10 can be improved.

  Further, as described above, the upper surface 321 of the support 320 and the lower surface 322 of the support 320 are inclined downward from the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110. Thus, the support 320 itself can not be viewed from the user's eyes. The user can be made to recognize that the top 310 is floating. Thereby, the aesthetics of the bathroom 10 can be improved.

  When the upper surface of the support is inclined downward, the angle between the upper surface of the support and the wall surface is smaller than when the upper surface of the support is not inclined. Therefore, for example, there is a case in which it is difficult for the user to easily get in an inward corner formed by the upper surface and the wall surface of the support material, which makes cleaning difficult.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the upper surface 321 of the support member 320 has the first surface 321 a and the second surface 321 b. The second angle θ2 is smaller than the first angle θ1. Therefore, even if the top surface 316 of the top plate 310 is inclined downward, the angle between the first wall surface 110 and the top surface 322 of the support member 320 can be made relatively large. For example, by setting the second angle θ2 to 0 °, the angle formed between the first wall surface 110 and the top surface 322 of the support member 320 can be set to about 90 °. Thereby, the cleaning property of the inward corner 391 can be improved.

FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of arrow A2 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter as viewed in the direction of arrow A3 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of arrow A4 shown in FIG.

  The top plate 310 has a first side end surface 311, a second side end surface 312, a third side end surface 313, a fourth side end surface 314, an upper surface 316, and a lower surface 317, and is supported. It is supported by the material 320. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first side end surface 311 faces the first wall surface 110 and is horizontally separated from the first wall surface 110. The second side end surface 312 faces the side surface 210 of the bathtub 200 and is horizontally spaced from the bathtub 200. The third side end surface 313 faces the second wall surface 120 and is horizontally separated from the second wall surface 120. The fourth side end surface 314 faces the washing place 100 and is horizontally spaced from the bathtub 200, the first wall surface 110, and the second wall surface 120. That is, all the side end surfaces (the first side end surface 311, the second side end surface 312, the third side end surface 313, and the fourth side end surface 314) of the top plate 310 are the bathtub 200 and the first wall surface 110. , And the second wall 120 in the horizontal direction.

  A gap S1 exists between the first side end surface 311 and the first wall surface 110. The distance D1 between the first side end surface 311 and the first wall surface 110 is, for example, about 50 millimeters (mm) or so. A gap S2 exists between the second side end surface 312 and the side surface 210 of the bathtub 200. A distance D2 between the second side end surface 312 and the side surface 210 of the bathtub 200 is, for example, about 70 mm. A gap S3 exists between the third side end surface 313 and the second wall surface 120. The distance D3 between the third side end surface 313 and the second wall surface 120 is, for example, about 70 mm.

  In order to wipe and clean the first side end surface 311, the second side end surface 312, and the third side end surface 313, the distances D1 to D3 are appropriately set to more appropriate distances. Specifically, each of the distances D1 to D3 is more preferably, for example, about 30 mm or more in order to facilitate the insertion of a cleaning tool such as a sponge. Also, in order to prevent the back of the hand from hitting the first wall surface 110, the second wall surface 120, and the bathtub 200 during cleaning, each of the distances D1 to D3 is, for example, about 50 mm or more More preferable. The distance D1 is more preferably 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less in order to prevent the top plate 310 from protruding relatively large in the washing place 100.

  The upper surface 316 of the top 310 is substantially flat. For example, the user can place a basin, a bottle of shampoo, or the like on the top surface 316 of the top plate 310. The upper surface 316 of the top plate 310 may be provided with a slope for drainage. In this case, it is preferable that the upper surface 316 of the top plate 310 be inclined downward to the front side so that the inclination direction does not change with age.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the horizontal length D5 of the portion of the support member 320 existing between the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 is the lateral length of the top plate 310. It is shorter than D4.
Thus, by reducing the area of the upper surface 321 of the support member 320 which is likely to be splashed with water, it is possible to reduce the area of the water collected on the upper surface 321 of the support member 320. Thus, the area of the support member 320 on which the stain due to the water droplets, soap scum, and the like can be suppressed, so that the trouble of cleaning the support member 320 can be reduced.

  In the specification of the present application, “lateral direction” refers to a horizontal direction and a direction parallel to the wall surface 110.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the top plate 310 is attached to the support member 320 by, for example, a bolt 451. The support 320 is attached to the first wall 110 by, for example, a bolt 452.

FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view showing dirt adhering to the side end surface of the top plate of the present embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter as viewed in the direction of the arrow A2 shown in FIG.

  A wash basin, for example, is placed on the top surface 316 of the top plate 310. Therefore, water containing a surfactant may flow to the upper surface 316 of the top plate 310. The water that has flowed to the upper surface 316 of the top 310 falls from around the entire top of the top 310 along the side to the washing place 100. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the dirt D such as a starch syrup or soap residue tends to remain on the side end surface of the top plate 310. For example, dirt D tends to remain at the lower end of the side end surface.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which the dirt D remains between the third side end surface 313 and the fourth side end surface 314. The place where the dirt D remains is not limited to between the third side end surface 313 and the fourth side end surface 314. The dirt D may remain on at least one of the first side end face 311, the second side end face 312, the third side end face 313, and the fourth side end face 314.

Next, a method of cleaning the top 310 will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view illustrating an example of the method of cleaning the top plate.

  For example, the cleaner can remove the dirt D attached to the lower end of the side end surface of the top plate 310 by rubbing and cleaning the side end surface of the top plate 310 with the cleaning tool C containing detergent or the like. At this time, a distance D1 between the first side end surface 311 and the first wall surface 110, a distance D2 between the second side end surface 312 and the side surface 210 of the bathtub 200, and a third side end surface 313 Each of the distances D3 between the two wall surfaces 120 is 30 mm or more. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the cleaner can easily insert the finger F holding the cleaning tool C into the gaps S1, S2, and S3.

  One end of the support member 320 is attached to the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 at a position away from the first side end surface 311, the second side end surface 312, the third side end surface 313, and the fourth side end surface 314. ing. Therefore, no entry corner is formed between all side end faces of the top plate 310 and the support member 320, and a space exists below all side end faces of the top plate 310.

  Thus, for example, the cleaner can apply force and wash all side end surfaces of the top plate 310. Moreover, the dirt adhering to the side end surface of the top plate 310 can be scraped off more easily than the dirt adhering to the inside corner. Therefore, it is possible to more easily remove stains D such as water stains and soap scum attached to the lower end of the side end face of the top plate 310 and the like. Thereby, the occurrence of mold on the side end surface of the top plate 310 can be suppressed.

Next, a bathroom counter according to a modification of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view showing a bathroom counter according to a modification of the present embodiment.
FIG. 8 corresponds to a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of the arrow A1 shown in FIG.

The bathroom counter 300 a of the present modification includes a top plate 310 a and a support member 320. The support 320 is as described above with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 8, the first side end surface 311 of the top plate 310 a of the present modification example has a curved surface. The fourth side end surface 314 of the top plate 310 a of the present modification example has a curved surface. Further, there is no corner between each of the first side end surface 311 and the fourth side end surface 314 and the upper surface 316 of the top plate 310. There is no corner between each of the first side end surface 311 and the fourth side end surface 314 and the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310.
The same applies to the second side end surface 312 and the third side end surface 313.

  According to this modification, since the side end surface of the top plate 310 has a curved surface, for example, a cleaning person can perform wiping and cleaning more easily. Further, in a state in which the support member 320 is attached to the first wall surface 110, the second surface 321b is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. Thereby, the cleaning property of the bathroom counter 300a according to the present modification can be improved.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic plan view showing a bathroom counter according to another modification of the present embodiment. FIG. 9 corresponds to a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of arrow A3 shown in FIG.

  The bathroom counter 300 b according to the present modification includes the top plate 310 b, the support member 320, and the reinforcing member 330. As shown in FIG. 9, a round portion is provided between the upper surface 316 of the top plate 310b and the side end surface of the top plate 310b. A round portion is provided between the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 b and the side end surface of the top plate 310 b.

The reinforcing member 330 is provided between the top plate 310 b and the support member 320. The reinforcing material 330 suppresses the deflection of the top plate 310 b. As shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal length D5 of the portion of the support member 320 present between the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 is greater than the horizontal length D4 of the top plate 310 b. Even if the length is short, the reinforcing member 330 can suppress the deflection of the top plate 310b.
Reinforcement member 330 may be integrated with support member 320.

  An example in which the support member 320 supports the top plate 310 b via the reinforcing member 330 as in this modification is included in the scope of the present embodiment.

  The reinforcing member 330 is attached to the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 b at a position distant from the first side end surface 311, the second side end surface 312, the third side end surface 313, and the fourth side end surface 314. . Therefore, for example, the cleaner can more easily rub the side end surface of the soiled top plate 310b from end to end with a cleaning tool C such as detergent and sponge. Further, in a state in which the support member 320 is attached to the first wall surface 110, the second surface 321a is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. Thereby, the cleaning property of the bathroom counter 300b according to the present modification can be improved.

FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view showing a bathroom counter according to still another modification of the present embodiment.
FIG. 10 corresponds to a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter when viewed in the direction of the arrow A1 shown in FIG.

  The bathroom counter 300c of this modification includes the top plate 310 and the support member 320a. As shown in FIG. 10, the second angle θ2 of the second surface 321b of the support member 320a of this modification is larger than 0 ° and smaller than the first angle θ1 of the first surface 321a. Thus, in the support member 320a, the second angle θ2 of the second surface 321b may be larger than 0 ° as long as it is smaller than the first angle θ1 of the first surface 321a.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the upper surface 321 of the support 320 and the lower surface 322 of the support 320 are inclined downward from the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110. Therefore, in the eyes of the user who uses the top plate 310, the entry corner 391 enters the blind spot of the top plate 310. Therefore, even if water or dirt accumulates in the inside corner 391, the user can not visually recognize the inside corner 391. Therefore, it is suppressed that a user who is hard to remove dirt is exposed. Thereby, the beauty of the bathroom 10 can be improved.

  In addition, since the support member 320 itself can not be viewed from the user's eyes, the user can be made to recognize that the top 310 is floating. The beauty of the bathroom 10 can be further improved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the upper surface 321 of the support member 320 has a first surface 321 a and a second surface 321 b. The second angle θ2 is smaller than the first angle θ1. Therefore, even if the top surface 316 of the top plate 310 is inclined downward, the angle between the first wall surface 110 and the top surface 322 of the support member 320 can be increased. Thereby, the cleaning property of the inward corner 391 can be improved.

  The upper surface 321 of the support member 320 has a central curved surface 321 c between the first surface 321 a and the second surface 321 b. The central curved surface 321 c is concavely curved. Thus, for example, when the cleaner cleans the upper surface 321 of the support member 320 where water and dirt easily accumulate, it is easy to clean water and dirt between the first surface 321 a and the second surface 321 b. The workability at the time of cleaning can be improved.

Next, a specific example of the bathroom counter according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 11 is a schematic exploded view showing a bathroom counter according to a specific example of the present embodiment.
FIG. 12 is a schematic plan view showing a bathroom counter according to this example.
FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a bathroom counter according to this example.
FIG. 12 corresponds to a schematic plan view showing the bathroom counter according to the present specific example when viewed in the direction of the arrow A1 shown in FIG. FIG. 13 corresponds to a schematic cross-sectional view of the cross section A-A shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the bathroom counter 300 according to this example includes the top plate 310, the support member 320, and the reinforcing member 330. The support 320 has a support body 360 and a first cover 340 and a second cover 350 (support cover). As shown in FIG. 13, one end of the support main body 360 is fixed to the first wall surface 110. The other end of the support main body 360 supports the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 via the reinforcing member 330.

  The reinforcing member 330 is provided between the support main body 360 and the top plate 310. The stiffener 330 has a leg 331 and is mounted on the support body 360. The reinforcing member 330 supports the top plate 310 and reinforces the top plate 310.

  The support main body 360 has a mounting surface 361 and an upper surface 362. The upper surface 362 has a support surface 362 a and an inclined surface 362 b. The support surface 362 a is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction when the support main body 360 is attached to the first wall surface 110. The inclined surface 362 b is connected to the support surface 362 a and the mounting surface 361.

  The lateral length D7 of the portion of the support main body 360 present between the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 is shorter than the lateral length D6 of the top plate 310. Further, even in the state where the first cover 340 and the second cover 350 are attached, the lateral length of the portion of the support member 320 existing between the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 is obtained. The length is shorter than the horizontal length D6 of the top 310. Thus, by reducing the area of the upper surface 321 of the support member 320 which is likely to be splashed with water, it is possible to reduce the area in which water is collected on the upper surface 321 of the support member 320. Thus, the area of the support member 320 on which the stain due to the water droplets, soap scum, and the like can be suppressed, so that the trouble of cleaning the support member 320 can be reduced.

  The first cover 340 of this example is attached to the inclined surface 362 b of the support body 360 and covers the inclined surface 362 b of the support body 360. The second cover 350 is provided below the support body 360 and covers the lower surface of the support body 360 and the side surface of the support body 360. That is, the first cover 340 and the second cover 350 cover the outer periphery of the support main body 360. In addition, the cover which covers the outer periphery of the support material main body 360 is not limited to having the 1st cover 340 and the 2nd cover 350, You may be formed by one member. Alternatively, the cover covering the outer periphery of the support main body 360 may have three or more members.

  The first cover 340 has an inclined surface portion 341 and an elevation portion 342. The upright surface portion 342 is connected to the inclined surface portion 341 and extends from the edge of the inclined surface portion 341 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the inclined surface portion 341. The inclined surface portion 341 has a shape substantially along the inclined surface 362 b of the support main body 360.

The inclined surface portion 341 has an upper surface 343 (upper surface of the support). The upper surface 343 has a first surface 343a, a second surface 343b, and a central curved surface 343c. One end of the first surface 343a is connected to the second surface 343b via a central curved surface 343c. The other end of the first surface 343 a is connected to the lower surface 317 of the top plate 310 via the elevation portion 342. One end of the second surface 343 b is connected to the first wall surface 110. The other end of the second surface 343 b is connected to the first surface 343 a via a central curved surface 343 c.
A portion of the first surface 343 a and the second surface 343 b are disposed between the first side end surface 311 of the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 in top view. Thereby, the support member 320 can be more difficult to visually recognize, and the water that has flowed down from the top plate 310 flows down the first surface 343 a, so the area of the water accumulated on the upper surface of the support member 320 can be reduced. Thus, the top plate 310 can be recognized to be more floating, and the area on the upper surface of the support member 320 where dirt is generated can be reduced. Furthermore, the entry corner 391 can be easily cleaned.
In addition, such an effect is that the inclined surface such as the first surface 343a and the second surface 343b are between the first side end surface 311 of the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 in top view. It can be obtained if arranged.

  The second cover 350 has a lower surface 351 (the lower surface of the support). In the state in which the support main body 360 is attached to the first wall surface 110, the lower surface 351 is inclined downward from the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, in a state where the support main body 360 is attached to the first wall surface 110, the first surface 343 a inclines downward from the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110. doing. An inward corner 391 is formed between the first surface 343 a and the first wall surface 110. In the state in which the support main body 360 is attached to the first wall surface 110, the second surface 343b is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction.

  According to this embodiment, the support body 360 can have a relatively complicated structure by covering the periphery of the support body 360 with the first cover 340 and the second cover 350. As a relatively complicated structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a structure provided with a rib 363 for securing load resistance supporting the top plate 310 may be mentioned. That is, by covering the periphery of the support main body 360 with the first cover 340 and the second cover 350, the periphery of the support 320 can be formed by a surface such as a flat surface or a curved surface. Thus, the support member 320 can be cleaned relatively easily while securing the load resistance of the support member main body 360. Further, as described above, the first surface 343a is inclined downward from the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110. The second surface 343 b is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction. The lower surface 351 is inclined downward from the top plate 310 toward the first wall surface 110. Therefore, the same effect as the effect described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 can be obtained.

Next, the examination conducted by the inventor will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 14 is a schematic plan view illustrating the study conducted by the inventor.

  The inventor examined the dead angle of the top 310. More specifically, the inventor examined the angle and height at which the user 560 can not visually recognize the support member 320.

  First, according to the knowledge obtained by the present inventor, the height of a general bath chair is mainly 250 mm or more and 350 mm or less. Therefore, in the present examination, the maximum value of the height D21 of the bath chair 550 is 350 mm, and the minimum value of the height D21 of the bath chair 550 is 250 mm.

  According to the human body measurement data described in “Japanese Human Size Data Book 2004-2006” (Human Life Engineering Research Center), the height of the eyes from the seat surface of men aged 20 to 80 years (“ The 95th percentile value of “the vertical distance from the horizontal seat surface to the extra-corner point in the sitting posture” is 848 mm. In addition, the 5th percentile value of the height of the eyes from the seat of a woman aged 20 to 80 is 617 mm. Therefore, in the present examination, the maximum value of the eye height D22 from the seat surface is 848 mm, and the minimum value of the eye height D22 from the seat surface is 617 mm.

  Thus, the maximum value of the eye-view height D29 of the user from the washing place 100 is 1198 mm. The minimum value of the eye-view height D29 of the washing place 100 to the user 560 is 867 mm.

  The distance D23 between the position of the eye of the user 560 sitting in the bath chair 550 in front of the bathroom counter 300 and the first wall 110 is set to 650 mm in the range of the height D29 of the line of sight described above.

The distance D24 between the first side end surface 311 of the top plate 310 and the first wall surface 110 was 40 mm.
The distance D31 between the washing place 100 and the upper surface 316 of the top plate 310 of the bathroom counter 300 was 345 mm.

  Under these conditions, the results of the study conducted by the inventor are as follows. That is, if the angle (θ1) between the virtual straight line connecting the eyes of the user 560 and the lower end of the support member 320 and the horizontal plane is 57.58 degrees or less, among adult users regardless of gender Most users will not be able to see the lower end of the support. An angle B14 in FIG. 14 represents the state where the angle (θ1) is 57.58 degrees.

  On the other hand, if the angle (θ2) between the virtual straight line connecting the eyes of the user 560 and the upper end of the support member 320 and the horizontal plane is 54.54 degrees or more, among adult users regardless of gender Most users will not be able to see the top of the support. The angle B13 in FIG. 14 represents the state where the angle (θ2) is 54.54 degrees.

  That is, the upper end of the support member 320 is located below the virtual straight line (broken line X) corresponding to the case where the angle θ2 in FIG. 14 is 54.54 degrees, and the lower end of the support member 320 is the angle θ1 in FIG. If the support 320 is provided above the virtual straight line (broken line Y) corresponding to the case where the angle of the light is 57.58 degrees, most users of the adult users can support the support 320. It can not be seen and the top plate 310 can appear to be floating. At this time, the height at which the user 560 can not visually recognize the support member 320 and the height D26 of the upper end on the first wall surface 110 is 285 mm or more and 308 mm or less.

  In addition, in the support material 320 of FIG. 14, the upper surface 321 of the support material 320 has a slope inclined at 18.7 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, and the lower surface 322 of the support material 320 has a slope of 39.0 degrees. It is configured to have
