Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention particularly relates to improvements in washbasins.

Conventionally used washstands are equipped with a water tank and a hot water mixer faucet on the top plate, which is the top of the main body.

By the way, this type of washstand is not necessarily used only when washing the face and hands, but also when, for example, a person is prohibited from taking a bath but wants to wash his or her hair.

However, although there is no inconvenience when lathering the hair with detergent, it is extremely inconvenient when rinsing the hair. In other words, the faucet of the mixer faucet faces downward into the tank, and there is little space between it and the wall of the tank. For this reason, hair cannot be brought close to the faucet. Also, if you collect hot water in a water tank and rinse your hair, the hot water will scatter around your hair, making it easier to get wet. Moreover, since the hot water in the aquarium quickly becomes dirty, it is necessary to frequently replace the hot water with clean hot water, which increases the cost of using the hot water, which is uneconomical.

The present invention was developed by focusing on the information in the article, and its purpose is to enable hot water to be switched from the faucet to the faucet and the shower head as necessary, and to attach the above-mentioned By providing a shower stand tool that can detachably hook and hold the shower head and release water from the shower head toward the water tank in this held state,
You can switch the switching attachment as needed and discharge hot water into the water tank directly from the faucet or via the shower head, so you can not only wash your face and hands from the faucet, but also wash your hair using the shower. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a washbasin which can be used with both hands and has improved usability since the shower head can be held by a shower stand when washing hair.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is the washbasin body. This washstand main body 1 is equipped with opening/closing doors 2, 2, drawers 3... on the front, a housing 4 having a storage chamber (not shown) inside the opening/closing doors 2, 2, and a housing 4 placed on the upper surface of the housing 4. It consists of a top plate 5 having a water tank 6. The water tank 6 of the top plate 5 is provided with a water faucet 7 such as a mixing faucet and a shower stand fixture 8 on the water tank flange 6a. The faucet 7 has a water knob 9a and a hot water knob 9b, and a faucet 10 projects into the water tank 6. When the water knob 9a is opened, water is discharged from the faucet 10, hot water is discharged when the hot water knob 9b is opened, and mixed hot water is discharged from the faucet 10 into the water tank 6 when the water knob 9a and the hot water knob 9b are simultaneously opened. It's becoming like that. A switching attachment 11, which will be described later, is fitted into the end of the faucet 10.

That is, this switching attachment 11 has a switching lever 12 formed on a part of the peripheral wall as shown in FIG.
However, the connection port body 13 protrudes from other parts. This switching lever 12 is rotatable within a predetermined range, and when positioned at one end, the hot water discharged from the faucet 10 is directly discharged into the water tank 6 via the switching attachment 11. Further, when the switching lever 12 is rotated in the other direction, hot water is introduced to the connection port body 13. In other words, there is a conductive path in the switching attachment 11.
The ball is disposed in the shape of a letter, and when the switching lever 12 is rotated, the ball is displaced to close one of the branch ports of the conduction path, and hot water flows from the other. (Both the conductive path and the ball are not shown.) A hose 15 equipped with a shower head 14 is connected to the connection port body 13. This shower head 14 is connected to the shower stand tool 8.
It is detachably hooked and held on the

When discharging hot water directly into the water tank 6, when the switching lever 12 is rotated in one direction, the conduction path on the connection port body 13 side in the switching attachment 11 is blocked by the ball, and the hot water is discharged from the faucet 10. It is released via the switching attachment 11. Furthermore, when using a shower for washing hair, for example, when the switching lever 12 is rotated to the other side, the conduction path on the switching attachment 11 side (the side facing the water tank 6) is blocked by the ball, and hot water flows through the connection port. It is discharged from the shower head 14 via the body 13 and the hose 15. The shower head 14 is used by being held in the hand or by being hooked onto the shower stand tool 8 as needed.
When the shower head 14 is hooked and held on the shower stand tool 8, hot water from the shower head 14 can be discharged into the water tank, and both hands are free.

In the above embodiment, the shower stand tool 8
Although provided on the water tank flange 6a of the water tank 6, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be provided integrally on the upper surface of the top plate 5 of the washstand main body 1.

As explained above, according to the present invention, hot water can be discharged into the water tank from the faucet directly or through the shower head as necessary by connecting the faucet provided on the top surface of the washbasin body to the hose connected to the shower head. In addition to being connected via a switching attachment, the shower head is hooked and held on a shower stand provided on the upper surface of the washbasin main body, and hot water can be discharged from the shower head toward the water tank in this held state. Therefore, the switching attachment can be switched as necessary to discharge hot water into the water tank directly from the faucet or via the shower head, making it possible not only to wash hands from the faucet but also to wash hair using a shower. Furthermore, since the shower head can be held by the shower stand tool during hair washing, the hair washing operation can be performed with both hands, improving usability.
