Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] The present invention relates to a washbasin unit having a structure in which a washbasin body is placed and fixed on a cabinet, and a curtain front plate is attached to a part where the cabinet and the washbasin body are connected. .

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as a curtain front plate applied to a washbasin unit, there is one described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 113786/1986.

As shown in FIG. 1, this is a curtain front plate 50, whose front wall 51 and side walls 52, 53 are integrally molded of synthetic resin or the like so that the horizontal cross section is approximately shaped. A protruding rib 54 is formed at the upper end of the front wall 51 so as to be located inside the lower edge of the washbasin body, and the side walls 52 and 53 have screw inserts extending inwardly and screwed into the side plate of the cabinet. Mounting plates 56 and 57 with common holes 55 are integrally molded.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view schematically showing the mounting structure of the curtain front plate 50. In the figure, 60 is a washbasin body with a recessed ball 61, 62 is a door that is attached to the front side of a cabinet 63 so that it can be opened and closed, and 64 is a cabinet. This is a crosspiece that is hung horizontally between 63 side plates. Washbasin body 60
A space 65 is defined on the front side of the opening edge 66 at the lower end.
There is a substantial opening between the outer wall surface of the bowl 61 and the outer wall surface of the bowl 61 portion.

As shown in the figure, a mounting plate 57 is fixed to one side plate of the cabinet with screws 67, and a protruding rib 5
4 is located inside the lower opening edge 66 of the washbasin body 60. Therefore, the protruding rib 54 can prevent its deformation by restricting its forward movement and deflection by the lower end opening edge 66, but when a force is applied to the inner back side, since the material is synthetic resin, ball 61
It may bend to the side, and if it is excessively bent, it may break. In addition, since the upper edge of such a curtain front plate does not have a support point, it easily dents when pressed, has insufficient strength, cannot handle unexpected forces, and is not convenient to use.

Furthermore, since the protruding ribs 54 are provided to protrude upward, it cannot be installed unless the lower front surface of the washbasin body 60 is open, resulting in a problem of poor versatility.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention prevents the front panel from bending or deforming by fixing the upper edge of the front panel to the bottom surface of the washbasin body in a washbasin unit, and can be installed regardless of the shape of the bottom surface of the washbasin body. The purpose is to provide curtain front boards.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a washbasin body mounted on top of a cabinet, a curtain front plate disposed between the upper end of the cabinet and the lower front edge of the washbasin body, and A washbasin unit in which the upper end of the plate is fixed by abutting against the washbasin main body, and a vertical part that abuts against the lower surface of the washbasin main body is raised at the front edge of the upper end of the curtain front plate, and a vertical part is raised at the back of the vertical part. A horizontal rib is projected rearward, and an adhesive for bonding the curtain front plate and the washbasin body is filled between the horizontal rib and the lower surface of the washbasin body and on the back side of the vertical portion. do.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the washbasin unit, in which 1 is a cabinet with an opening/closing door 2 on the front, 3 is a ceramic washbasin body mounted and connected to the upper end of the cabinet 1, and 4 is the washbasin body. A bowl 5, which is recessed in the container body 3 and communicates with the drainage piping system in the cabinet 1, is a hot water mixing faucet that is installed with its discharge outlet facing the bowl 4 direction.

Furthermore, 6 is the front side of the washbasin unit,
This is a curtain front plate that is attached to the continuous portion of the cabinet 1 and the washbasin body 3, and the curtain front plate 6 includes a front plate body 7 located along the longitudinal front edge of the washbasin body 3,
and a pair of lids 8 and 9 which are integrally connected to both ends of the front plate main body 7 and are substantially flush with the surface of the side plate 1a of the cabinet 1. Both are made of synthetic resin.

4 is a partially cutaway plan view of the curtain front plate 6, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the same. The front plate main body 7 has a curved surface with a concave outer shape on the front side. Both lids 8 and 9 are fitted and connected by welding so as to match the side contours of the lids. Connecting plates 8b, 9b are integrally formed on the lids 8, 9 and are unevenly distributed toward the center by the thickness of the side plate 1a of the cabinet 1 from the end faces 8a, 9a, and screw holes 8c, 9b are formed in the connecting plates 8b, 9b, respectively. 9c has been opened.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing the state in which the curtain front plate 6 is attached between the washbasin body 3 and the cabinet 1. As shown in the figure, the front plate body 7 has a curved part 7a that is concave on the outside when attached. It forms a uniform cross section. At the upper end of the curved portion 7a, a vertical portion 7b is formed that projects upward in the vertical direction, and a horizontal rib 7c is formed that extends inward for a required length from near the intersection of the vertical portion 7b and the curved portion 7a. . Furthermore, the curved portion 7
On the lower end side of a, there are formed a horizontal portion 7d that extends horizontally inward, and a raised portion 7e that bends upward at the end of the horizontal portion 7d.

On the lower surface of the front side of the washbasin body 3, a draining protrusion 3a is provided hanging down over almost the entire width, and the protrusion 3a
A flat surface 3b is similarly formed over substantially the entire width from the outer wall surface 4a of the ball 4 to the outer wall surface 4a of the ball 4.

The curtain front plate 6 is fixed to the side wall 1a of the cabinet 1 by connecting plates 8b and 9b of the lids 8 and 9 with screws 20, and at this time, the vertical portion 7b forming the upper end of the front plate main body 7
The upper surface is in contact with the flat surface of the washbasin body 3, and the lower end upright portion 7e is in contact with a reinforcing crosspiece 21 horizontally suspended between the side plates 1a.

Further, at the contact portion with the flat surface 3b, a silicone sealant S is filled between the flat surface 3b and the horizontal ribs 7c on the back side of the front plate main body 7, hardens and seals the front plate main body 7. It is fixed to the main body 3. In this case, there is a vertical section 7 on the front side.
b is located, the silicone sealant S does not protrude to the front side, and the appearance can be improved.

With the above configuration, the front plate main body 7 has its upper edge supported by the washbasin main body 3, and its lower end is supported by the crosspiece 21.
Therefore, even if a force is applied to the curtain front plate 6 on the bowl 4 side, it will not bend inward or bend and deform and break. Therefore, the curtain front plate 6, particularly the front plate main body 7, is supported at both its upper and lower ends, and therefore has sufficient support against the acting force, so that it can be made thin.

The adhesive used to attach the washbasin body 3 to the washbasin body 3 should be elastic since the surface of the ceramic washbasin is rough, and double-sided tape or the like can be used in addition to a silicone sealant.

Note that the front plate body 7 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the washbasin body 3 if it has a flat surface at least at the front, so it is also applicable to washbasins with an open bottom as described in the conventional example. can do.

〔effect〕

The present invention has the following effects due to its configuration.

Since the upper edge of the curtain front plate is supported and fixed by the basin, the curtain front plate does not tilt back and forth, and does not bend or deform even when an inward pressing force is applied.

Because the curtain front plate is stably supported by the above, it can be made thinner, and material costs can be reduced.

As long as it has a flat surface at least on the front side of the lower surface of the washbasin, it can be freely attached and has excellent versatility.

Since the adhesive is filled on the back side of the vertical part of the curtain front plate, the vertical part acts as a shielding wall and the adhesive is not exposed to the outside, improving the appearance.

In addition, since the upper end of the curtain front plate is fixed to the washbasin body using adhesive, even if the washbasin body has poor surface precision, such as those made of ceramics, it can be well integrated with the adhesive layer. . Therefore, a product with a good finish can be obtained, compared to the case where a plurality of positions are partially connected using screws or the like, which may cause gaps between the screws.
