Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a vanity unit that includes a vanity bowl and a mirror and is used for washing the toilet or applying makeup.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional bathroom vanity units consist of a mirror attached to a wall, a shelf, and a lower stand installed below the mirror and shelf and equipped with a washbasin bowl. I'm starting to do that.

Recently, I have been able to use the washing bowl all the time.
If it is left exposed horizontally, it is unsightly and requires a lot of depth, so washbasin bowls that can be opened and closed have come to be used.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the conventional vanity unit described above, regardless of whether or not the washbowl can be opened and closed, the washbowl is located in front of the mirror, so the distance between the face and the mirror must be greater than the dimensions of the washbowl. I'll leave.

When applying makeup, it is normal to put your face close to the mirror, but as mentioned above, the presence of the wash basin made it impossible to move your face close to the mirror while sitting.

Therefore, when applying makeup, one has to stand up and lean over the washbowl to bring one's face close to the mirror, which not only causes fatigue and complication due to this unnatural posture. There were drawbacks such as the droplets from the washbasin making clothes wet.

In addition, in conventional vanity units, regardless of whether or not the washbowl can be opened and closed, it is easy to tell at a glance that it is a vanity, which spoils the atmosphere of the room.
It will ruin your appearance.

For this reason, it was necessary to provide a separate washroom and place a washroom unit in it.

In recent years, as bedrooms have become more popular, there has been an increase in the number of people wanting to put on their toiletries and makeup when they wake up, but for the reasons mentioned above, it is not possible to place a toiletry unit in the bedroom.
I had to build a bathroom next door.

This results in an increase in the construction area and construction cost.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional vanity units.By dividing the inside of the housing into a vanity space and a vanity space, it is possible to bring your face closer to the mirror while sitting.
The idea is to make it possible to store chairs out of the way when not in use, and at least cover the washroom area with a door to enhance the appearance.
a door hinged to at least one side of the housing to open and close a portion of the housing; a mirror provided over the entire width on the inner surface of the back side of the housing;
A shelf is provided in front of the mirror so as to be slidable from side to side, and a wash basin is provided on the side of the housing where the door is hinged, and is exposed and hidden by the door and can be opened and closed. A bowl and a chair storage section provided in the housing on the side opposite to the side where the door is hinged. [Function] The vanity unit of the present invention has a washbasin bowl and a chair storage section provided on the side opposite to the side where the door is hinged. is used as a vanity space, and when you want to look at the mirror while washing the toilet, move the mounting side to the vanity space, and when putting on makeup, move this to the vanity space so that it does not interfere with looking at the mirror in either case. To save space for installing a shelf.

At least when the door is closed, the washroom space is hidden, eliminating the unsightliness caused by exposure.
In addition to making it possible to install it in a bedroom, etc., by reducing the depth of the wash basin when closed, it reduces the depth of the housing, saving space and making it flush with other furniture. It is.

〔Example〕

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a housing, arranged along the wall surface,
It looks as if it were a wall and has the same dimensions as wall storage furniture for storing clothes, etc.
A door 10 is hinged to the left side so that it can be opened and closed.

Although it is desirable that the front surface of the door 10 matches the design of the wall storage furniture, it is not necessary to be particular about this, as long as consideration is given so as not to spoil the aesthetics of the room.

A lighting fixture 4 is attached to the upper inner surface of the housing 1 to provide illumination when washing the toilet or applying makeup.

Further, a mirror 3 is placed over the entire width of the upper part of the interior surface of the housing 1, and guide rails 11 are attached to the top and bottom of the front surface of the mirror 3.

A mounting shelf 5 is attached to the guide rail 11 so as to be slidable left and right.

This shelf 5 is divided into a part whose interior can be hidden by an opening/closing lid 12, an open part, etc. Shampoo supplies are placed on the left side, and dresser items are placed on the right side.

There is a counter 7 on the front of the lower guide race 11.
Shampoo supplies can be taken out from the shelf 5 when washing the toilet, etc., and dresser supplies can be placed on this when applying makeup, etc.

Also, this counter 7 has a faucet 1 on its left side.
3 is attached, and a shower 14 can also be attached.

A wash bowl 2 that can be opened and closed is attached to the front of the counter 7 on the left side of the housing 1, and the wash bowl 2 can be opened to wash the toilet or hair.
That is, the left side of the housing 1 serves as a washroom space.

By standing the washing bowl 2 upright, the main body of the washing bowl 2 is hidden, the depth dimension is shortened, and the door 10 can be closed.

A storage space 8 is provided below the washbasin bowl 2, and by storing an electric water heater 15 in this space, hot water can be supplied to the shower 14.

The lower part of the counter 7 on the right side of the housing 1 is a space in which a stool 9 can be stored.
Or it is designed so that you can put your knees in it when you sit on it, that is, the housing 1
The right side is the makeup space.

The right side of the storage space (chair storage section) of the stool 9 is a dust box 16 and a storage drawer 6, which are convenient for disposing of trash and storing paper.

In this embodiment, a mirror may be attached to the front side of the door 10 to serve as a full-length mirror, or the door may be hinged to the right side so that it can be opened and closed, thereby hiding the inside of the housing 1.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the door 10 is normally closed and the shelf 5 is moved to the left side so that only the makeup space is exposed, so that the user can put on makeup at any time.

When washing the bathroom or washing your hair, open the door 1, open the wash bowl 2, move the shelf 5 to the right side to expose the mirror on the front of the wash bowl 2, open the faucet 13, and turn on the shower 14. Pour water or hot water from the
It is used for washing the toilet and washing hair.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the present invention, by installing the washbasin bowl on one side of the housing, that side can be used as a washroom space, and the opposite side can be used as a makeup space.

Additionally, the shelf for placing cosmetics, etc. can be slid from side to side, so no matter which space you use, just slide it to the opposite side and it won't get in the way of using the mirror. .

Also, when applying makeup, there is no washbasin in the makeup area, so you can sit on a stool and bring your face close to the mirror.

Therefore, there is no need to stand up and take an unnatural posture of leaning over the washing bowl as in the past, and there is no need to worry about getting your clothes wet.

Furthermore, the washroom space where the washbowl is installed, which is the most unsightly area, is hidden by closing the door, so only the minimum vanity space can be seen from inside the room, so it is best to install this vanity unit in a bedroom, etc. Even when installed, it looks like a dresser and does not spoil the atmosphere or appearance of the room.

Since the depth of the washbowl is reduced by closing it, the depth of the housing can be shortened, making it flush with other furniture, and reducing the installation space for the washstand unit. The effective indoor area can be increased.

Furthermore, the chair can be stored in the chair storage section when not in use so as not to get in the way.
