Description

The present invention relates to a counter mounted on a bathroom wall.

Traditionally, in order to ease the work of washing the body in the bathroom at home, a counter has been installed on the wall of the bathroom so that the washbasin can be placed above the washing area.
In Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-67340), the counter has a mounting base formed by supporting the lower surface of the counter with three brackets mounted on the wall and recessing the back portion of the counter, and the top surface of the counter. It is lowered to form a drainage groove, and the rear end of the mounting base is in contact with the wall. The drainage ditch is narrow, and the corners formed by the main body of the counter and the wall form the inside corners, so it is difficult to clean, and it is not easy to remove scale and soap scum stuck to the inside corners, which is troublesome. It takes.

Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-179987), a counter on which a person can sit is separated from a wall or a bathtub, and is fixed to the wall and the bathtub by two columns penetrating the front and rear positions of the counter in the left-right direction. .. Although this counter is far from the wall, the pillars penetrate the left and right side end faces of the counter, so the corners formed by the side end faces of the counter and the pillars form an inside corner, and after all, water stains and water stains It is not easy and time-consuming to remove soap scum cleanly.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-67340 JP 2013-179987

Therefore, the present invention suppresses the adhesion of water stains and soap scum to the corner between the counter and the bathroom wall and the corner between the counter support material and the bathroom wall to improve cleanability. The purpose is to provide an enhanced bathroom counter.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention presents the present invention to a counter that can be used by mounting a washbasin on a bathroom wall, below a faucet attached to the bathroom wall, and on the bathroom wall. A support material that supports the counter is fixed, and the tip of the support material supports the lower surface of the counter, and the support material has all side end faces of the counter connected to the bathroom wall and the bathtub. The counter is supported so as to be horizontally separated from the wall of the bathroom and the bathtub, and the upper surface of the support material allows water flowing on the support material to be left and right with respect to the support material. It is characterized by having a drainage gradient surface that drains in the direction.

In this bathroom counter, the side end faces are arranged horizontally apart from the wall and the bathtub, so that the inside corner formed by the counter and the wall and the bathtub is eliminated. Therefore, water and dirt that have conventionally tended to collect in the corners do not collect. In addition, there is no need to apply silicon to the wall or the corner between the bathtub and the counter, and the appearance is improved.
Further, since the side end surface of the counter is separated from the wall and the bathtub, the side end surface of the counter to which dirt has adhered can be easily scrubbed from end to end with a cleaning tool such as detergent and sponge. Therefore, the cleanability of the bathroom counter is remarkably superior to that of the conventional one.

Further, since the support material is fixed to the wall of the bathroom, an inside corner is formed between the support material and the wall of the bathroom, but water is drained in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the support material. A drainage gradient surface is provided. Therefore, the water that has flowed down from the counter to the support material is drained from the support material before it reaches the wall to which the support material is fixed, and the amount of water that reaches the wall can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent water from accumulating in the corners between the support material and the wall and adhering to dirt, and it is possible to improve the cleanability.

Further, in the bathroom counter of the present invention, it is preferable that the support material has a width narrower than the width of the counter.

According to this, since the width of the support material is formed to be narrower than the width of the counter, the water flowing behind from the counter separated from the wall is unlikely to stay on the support material. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of dirt caused by the surfactant or the like contained in water on the support material, and it is possible to improve the cleanability.

Further, in the bathroom counter of the present invention, it is more preferable that the upper surface of the support member behind the rear end of the counter is inclined downward toward the wall to which the support member is fixed.

According to this, since the flow velocity of the water flowing on the support material increases due to the inclination, it is difficult for water to remain on the support material. Therefore, water does not easily collect in the corner between the support material and the wall, and it becomes difficult to get dirty.

According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of water stains and soap scum to the corner between the counter and the bathroom wall and the corner between the counter support material and the bathroom wall to improve cleanability. It will be possible to provide an enhanced bathroom counter.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a perspective view showing a bathroom in which a bathroom counter according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the bathroom counter, FIG. 3 is a front view of the bathroom counter, and FIG. 4 is the right side of the bathroom counter. 5A is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 2, FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a direction in which water flows on a drainage slope surface, and FIG. 7 is a bottom view of a bathroom counter.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom counter 300 (hereinafter referred to as a counter) is attached to the front wall 110 of the bathroom washing area 100. More specifically, the counter 300 is located on the front wall 110 arranged between the bathtub 200 and the side wall 120 facing the bathtub 200 and the washing place 100, and between the bathtub 200 and the side wall 120. It is installed along. The upper surface 310 of the counter 300 is flat or gently inclined to be a mounting surface without a step, and a washbasin or the like can be mounted on the counter 300.

A faucet 400 for supplying hot water to the basin placed on the counter 300 is attached to the front wall 110 above the counter 300. A mirror 500 is attached to the front wall 110 above the faucet 400.

The counter 300 is attached to the front wall 110 by a support member 350.

One end (tip) of the support member 350 is attached to the lower surface 320 of the counter 300 at a position away from the side end surface 330 by a fastener 351 such as a screw. Further, the other end of the support member 350 is attached to the front wall 110 at a position below the lower end of the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 by a predetermined dimension by a fastener 352 such as a bolt.
The width of the support member 350 is narrower than the width of the counter 300. For example, the width of the support member 350 is narrowed to the same extent as the width of the faucet 400 and the mirror 500.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support member 350 has a drainage gradient surface 355 for discharging water flowing on the upper surface thereof downward before reaching the front wall 110.
FIG. 5A is an example in which a curved surface descending to the left and right with the virtual center line toward the front wall 110 as a boundary is formed on the upper surface of the support member 350 to form a drainage gradient surface 355.
FIG. 5B is an example in which a drainage gradient surface 355 is formed on the upper surface of the support member 350 by forming an inclined plane that descends to the left and right with the virtual center line toward the front wall 110 as a boundary.

As described above, since the upper surface of the support member 350 is inclined downward toward the front wall 110, the water on the support member 350 flows toward the front wall 110, but the drainage gradient is on the upper surface of the support member 350. A surface 355 is formed. The width of the support member 350 is formed to be considerably narrower than the width of the counter 300. Therefore, while the water that has flowed down from the counter 300 onto the support member 350 flows toward the front wall 110, most of the water flows down to the left and right by the drainage gradient surface 355 and is drained (see FIG. 6). This makes it possible to reduce the amount of water that flows over the support member 350 and reaches the front wall 110.

The counter 300 is attached so that its left, right, and rear side end faces are separated from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200, respectively. Therefore, a gap is formed between the side end surface 330 of the counter 300, the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200, respectively. In the present embodiment, a gap S1 of 50 mm is provided between the side end surface 330B behind the counter 300 and the front wall 110. A gap S2 of 70 mm is provided between the side end surface 330L on the left side (bathtub 200 side) of the counter 300 and the bathtub 200. Further, a gap S3 of 70 mm is provided between the side end surface 330R on the right side (wall 120 side) of the counter 300 and the side wall 120.

The gaps S1 to S3 have gaps of appropriate dimensions for wiping and cleaning the side end surface 330 of the counter 300. In order to put the finger F in the gap for careful cleaning, the gaps S1, S2, and S3 are preferably 30 mm or more, and 70 mm so that the back of the hand does not hit the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200. The following is preferable. Further, the gap S1 is more preferably 30 to 50 mm so that the counter 300 does not protrude greatly from the washing place 100.

Next, how to care for the counter will be described.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the side end faces of the counter are being cleaned.

Since the gaps S1, S2, and S3 between the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and the front wall 110, the side wall 120, or the bathtub 200 have dimensions of 30 mm or more as described above, the cleaning tool C is gripped as shown in FIG. The finger F can be easily inserted into the gaps S1, S2, and S3. One end of the support member 350 is attached to the lower surface 320 of the counter 300 at a position away from the side end surface 330. Therefore, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and the support member 350 do not form an inside corner, and a space is provided below the side end surface 330 of the counter 300. As a result, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be scrubbed with force. Further, the dirt adhering to the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be scraped off more easily than the dirt adhering to the inside corner. Therefore, dirt such as water stains and soap scum adhering to the lower end of the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 can be easily removed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of mold on the side end surface 330 of the counter 300.

According to the counter 300 of the present embodiment, since the counter 300 is arranged with its side end surface 330 separated from the front wall 110, the side wall 120 and the bathtub 200, the counter 300 and the front wall 110, the side wall 120 and the bathtub There is no corner formed by 200. Therefore, water and dirt that have conventionally tended to collect in the corners do not remain. Further, it is not necessary to apply silicon to the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the entrance corner between the bathtub 200 and the counter 300, and the appearance is improved.

Further, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 is separated from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200, and then the support member 350 attached to the lower surface 320 of the counter 300 at a position away from the side end surface 330 is attached to the wall 110. Since it is fixed, the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 is separated from not only the front wall 110, the side wall 120, the bathtub 200, but also the support member 350. Therefore, even if water containing a surfactant is poured from the upper surface 310 of the counter 300 onto the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 and dirt such as scale and soap scum remains on the side end surface 330 of the counter 300, the side of the counter 300 The end face 330 can be cleaned from end to end with detergent and cleaning tool C even more easily.

Further, the counter 300 separates the side end surface 330 of the counter 300 from the front wall 110, the side wall 120, and the bathtub 200 by 30 mm or more. As a result, the finger F holding the cleaning tool C can be easily inserted into the gaps S1, S2, and S3, and can be wiped and cleaned with a strong force.

Further, since the counter 300 does not form a step on the upper surface 310, water does not easily collect on the upper surface 310 of the counter 300, and it is possible to suppress the adhesion of stains such as scale and soap scum to the upper surface 310 of the counter 300. It will be possible.

Next, a modified example of the bathroom counter of the present invention will be described. The same components as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 9 is a right side view showing a counter of a modified example.
In this counter 700, a reinforcing material 370 is provided between the counter 700 and the support 350. The reinforcing member 370 makes the counter 700 less likely to bend even when supported by a support 350 having a width narrower than that of the counter 700.
The side end surface 730B behind the counter 700 and the side end surface 370B behind the reinforcing member 370 are configured to be flush with each other.

As described above, in the present invention, the counter 700 does not have to be directly supported by the support material 350.

Further, according to this modification, since the cleaning tool C does not enter the back side of the counter 700 directly above the support member 350, it takes more time than the above-described embodiment, but all the side end faces of the counter 700. Since is away from the walls and bathtub, the side end faces of the counter 700 with dirt can be easily scrubbed from end to end with detergent and cleaning tool C.

The support 350 and the reinforcing member 370 may be integrated.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions.
For example, although the drainage gradient surface 355 has been described as having the water flowing on the support member 350 drained to the left and right, it may be drained to only one side on the right side or the left side.
