Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a fixture for attaching a washing bowl to a counter.

[Prior Art] One of the methods of fixing a washbasin bowl to a counter is to use a metal annular mounting frame made of stainless steel or the like. Conventionally, this work has generally been carried out as shown in FIGS. 5 to 9.

A mounting hole 3 with a larger diameter than the wash bowl 2 is bored in the counter 1, and a mounting frame 4 is inserted into the gap with the wash bowl 2, and the wash bowl 2 is fixed to the counter 1 via the mounting frame 4. It is something to do.

In this case, since the wash bowl 2 is heavy, it is difficult to perform this work from below the counter 1 while standing upright because the wash bowl 2 will fall during the work. Therefore, in the above construction method, as shown in Fig. 5, the counter 1 is prepared upside down, the washing bowl 2 is applied to the mounting hole 3 of the counter from the back side, and the mounting frame 4 is inserted from the front side of the counter 1, that is, from the bottom. After fitting and supporting this with a jig 5 made of foamed resin or the like, the washing bowl 2 is fixed to the counter 1 via the mounting frame 4 using a fixture 6 to be described later (FIG. 6).

The mounting frame 4 is formed with an edge 7 having a T-shaped cross section as shown in FIG.
The vertical side portion 7b is provided with a plurality of square holes 7c at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 8, the fixture 6 includes a hanging member 8 having an acute bent portion 8a at one end and a square hole 8b at the other end, a horizontal plate 9 inserted into the square hole 8b, and a horizontal plate 9 inserted into the square hole 8b. A tightening bolt 10 screwed into one end of the plate 9 is provided.

6, hook the bent part 8a of the hanging member 8 into the square hole 7c of the mounting frame 4, and tighten one end of the horizontal plate 9 inserted into the square hole 8b of the hanging member 8. Place the bolt 10 on the back side of the counter 1, and place the other end of the horizontal plate 9 on the back side of the washing bowl 2, then tighten the bolt 10, and then tighten the bolt 10 on the counter 1.
The wash bowl 2 and the mounting frame 4 are fixed at the same time. Note that six to eight fixtures 6 are normally used for one washbasin bowl 2.

The counter 1, washing bowl 2, and mounting frame 4 that have been fixed and integrated in this manner are returned to an upright state and placed on a cabinet or bracket (not shown) (FIG. 9).

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, in the conventional construction method, in order to fix the washing bowl 2 to the counter 1, both had to be turned over, which caused a problem of poor workability. Further, when the fixture 6 is removed when replacing the washbasin bowl 2, the heavy washbasin bowl falls down, so two workers are required for both installation and removal, which is uneconomical.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a fixing fitting 11 for fixing an annular mounting frame 4 having an edge 7 with a T-shaped cross section to the upper edge of a washing bowl 2, the mounting frame having a T-shaped cross section. The outer diameter of the horizontal side 7a of the rim is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 3 of the counter 1 into which the washbowl is to be fitted, and the inner diameter of the horizontal side is larger than the outer diameter of the washbowl. In the case where a plurality of square holes 7c are formed in the vertical side portion 7b of the T-shaped edge portion in the circumferential direction, the fixing fitting 11 has a wrap-around portion 11a that wraps around the lower surface side of the washbowl. and is raised substantially perpendicularly to the wrap-around portion 11a and is continuous with a ball side contact portion 11b that contacts the side surface of the washing bowl and the corresponding contact portion 11b,
a curved portion 11c that is curved away from the extension line of the corresponding contact portion 11b to the side opposite to the wrap-around portion 11a;
An insertion portion 11d that is continuous with the curved portion 11c and extends in substantially the same direction as the extension line of the contact portion, and is inserted into the square hole 7c of the mounting frame 4, and is screwed into the recessed portion. This is a fixture for fixing a mounting frame to a washbasin bowl, characterized in that it is equipped with a tightening bolt 14 that can be screwed in the extending direction of the abutment part.

[Operation] In order to fix the washbasin bowl to the mounting frame using the fixing fitting of the present invention, after fitting the mounting frame 4 onto the washbasin bowl 2, insert the insertion part 11d of the fixing fitting 11 through the gap between the two. Insert into the square hole 7c of the mounting frame 4.
Next, twist and screw the tightening bolt 14,
The tip thereof is brought into contact with the back surface of the washing bowl 2, and the tightening bolt 14 is further tightened. As a result, the edge of the washing bowl 2 is held between the bolt 14 and the T-shaped horizontal portion 7a of the mounting frame 4, and the abutting portion 11b of the fixing fitting 11 is also held between the washing bowl 2.
Because it comes into elastic contact with the side peripheral surface of the fixing metal 11
There is no wobbling after installation, and the engagement between the mounting frame 4, the fixture 11, and the washing bowl 2 becomes extremely firm.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a fixture 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the engagement between the mounting part 4 using the fixing fitting 11 and the washing bowl 2, seen diagonally from below, and FIG. 3 shows the mounting frame. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the work of assembling the washing bowl to the counter 1 with 4 attached, and FIG.
is an enlarged view of the main part.

The fixture 11 of the present invention is used to integrate the mounting frame 4 and the washbasin bowl 2 before attaching the washbasin bowl 2 to the counter 1 using the conventionally used fixture 6. Figures 1 and 2
As shown in the figure, the fixing fitting 11 is formed of a plate-like member with a substantially L-shaped cross section, and includes a wrap-around portion 11a that wraps around the bottom side of the washbasin bowl, and a wrap-around portion 11a that stands up approximately perpendicularly to the wrap-around portion 11a. , a ball side contact portion 11b that contacts the side surface of the washing bowl, and the corresponding contact portion 11
a curved portion 11c that is continuous with the curved portion 11c and curved away from the extension line of the corresponding contact portion 11 to the side opposite to the wrap-around portion 11a; The insertion part 11d extends in substantially the same direction as the above-mentioned mounting frame 4, and is inserted into the square hole 7c of the mounting frame 4. A tightening bolt 14,
It is equipped with

For installation, after the mounting frame 4 is fitted onto the washbasin bowl 2, the insertion portion 11d of the fixing metal fitting 11 is inserted from the space between the two and fitted into the square hole 7c of the mounting frame 4. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the contact portion 11
b comes into contact with the side surface of the washing bowl 2, and the turning part 11a
wraps around to the bottom (back) side of the washing bowl 2. Therefore, by twisting and threading the tightening bolt 14 so that its tip comes into contact with the back surface of the washing bowl 2, and further tightening the tightening bolt 14, the elasticity of the fixing metal fitting 11 causes the mounting frame 4 to is firmly fixed to the washing bowl 2. Particularly, in the present invention, the edge of the washing bowl 2 is held between the bolt 14 and the T-shaped horizontal side 7a of the mounting frame 4, and the abutting portion 11b of the fixing fitting 11 is also held against the side periphery of the washing bowl 2. Since it comes into elastic contact with the surface, the fixing metal fitting 11 does not wobble after installation, and the engagement between the mounting frame 4, the fixing metal fitting 11, and the washing bowl 2 becomes extremely firm.

Note that, therefore, it is desirable that the fixture 11 be made of a resilient material such as spring steel. Also,
A double-sided adhesive tape type sealing material is disposed between the upper surface of the washing bowl 2 and the lower surface of the mounting frame 4.

When using such a fixture 11 of the present invention, there is no need to turn the counter 1 upside down.
That is, the washbasin bowl 2 and mounting frame 4 combined as described above are integrally fitted into the mounting hole 3 of the counter 1 which is facing up (Fig. 3), and then the washbasin bowl 2 and the mounting frame 4 are fitted together using the conventional fixture 6. The ball 2, the mounting frame 4, and the counter 1 are fixed together (Fig. 4). The number of fixtures 11 normally used is two, and the number of conventional fixtures is four to six.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention is configured as described above and the mounting frame is fixed to the washbasin in advance, so when it is installed on the counter, the heavy washbasin is supported on the counter by the edge of the mounting frame, making the installation easier. It does not fall into the hole, so it can be easily installed by one worker, and there is no need to turn the counter over. For the same reason, one worker can replace the washbasin bowl due to trouble discovered during installation on site or damage after long-term use, which is useful for after-sales care and labor savings.

Since the fixing fitting of the present invention is provided with a contact portion that comes into contact with the side circumference of the washing bowl, the connection between the washing bowl, the fixing fitting and the mounting frame is extremely strong. There is no risk of the connection coming loose, making work extremely easy.
