Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an inspection port for piping to a faucet, gas appliance, etc. arranged on the upper surface of furniture such as a sink, a gas stand, and a washstand.

Traditionally, piping for water faucets and gas appliances installed on the top of sinks, gas counters, wash basins, etc., exposes the inside of the cabinet and extends under the floor or toward the wall, so it is difficult to open the front of the cabinet. It was possible to easily perform inspections, connections, and repair work.

However, recently, when using a top plate with a wide depth, a cabinet with a depth smaller than that of the top plate is sometimes used so as to be common to the top plate with a small depth. In such cases, the back plate of the cabinet should line up vertically with the pipes hanging from the faucet or gas appliance attached to the top plate.
The back plate may get in the way of the piping.

This invention is particularly designed to facilitate piping for such furniture, and will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is the upper plate of the sink, 2 is a cabinet disposed below the upper plate, and the position of the connecting pipe 4 extending from the faucet 3 attached to the upper surface of the upper plate 1 is on the back plate of the cabinet 2. 2a, the back plate 2a gets in the way when connecting the water pipe 5 extending from the outside and the connecting pipe 4, making it impossible to make the connection.

Therefore, the upper part of the back plate 2a is cut out, and an opening 6 having sufficient space for connection work is formed continuously on the lower surface of the upper plate. Then, the connecting pipe 4 and the water pipe 5 are connected within the space of this opening 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cover sufficient to close the opening 6, which has a rectangular box shape with at least one of the front or rear surfaces and the top open, and is made of plastic or metal. Note that the bottom surface may also be left open if necessary. The cover 7 is removably fixed by applying a flange 8 at the front edge to the front peripheral edge of the opening 6 and fixing it with screws. The fixation direction of the cover 7 varies depending on the position of the water pipe 5 extending from the outside. When the water pipe 5 extends from the wall as shown in FIG. 1, the cover 7 protrudes forward. The connecting pipe 4, the water pipe 5, and the connecting portion of both pipes are hidden. Also, the third
As shown in the figure, when the water pipe 5 extends from under the floor through the front surface of the back plate 2a, the cover 7 is attached so as to protrude rearward. In both installations in FIGS. 1 and 3, the cover 7 is attached to its flange 8.
Since it is fixed to the front of the back plate 2a with screws, it can be easily removed, and the cover 7 can be removed to inspect the piping.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 5, the space 6 may be formed not only at the upper part of the back plate 2a but also continuously at the lower part, and the cover 7 may also be long and extend in the vertical direction accordingly. be.

Figure 6 shows a draining cover 9 between the top plate 1 and the wall surface.
A faucet 3 is installed on the top surface of the drain cover 9, and the connecting pipe 4 and the water pipe 5 are connected to the cabinet 2.
In this case, the back plate 2a is cut out to form a space 6, and this space 6 is used as an inspection port for the piping. It is possible to block it with 7.

As described above, according to this invention, at least a part of the back plate of the cabinet is cut out to form a continuous space on the lower surface of the upper plate, and a cover that closes the space is placed on at least one of the front and rear surfaces. It is formed into a rectangular box shape with an open top surface, and the flange on the periphery of the cover is removably fixed to the front of the back plate, making it easy to connect piping even when the piping is in contact with the back plate of the cabinet. Moreover, it is possible to process the pipes extending from the outside regardless of their positions. Also, by removing the cover, the piping can be easily inspected.
