Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a vanity cabinet installed above a washbasin, for example, and particularly to a shelf door structure of a vanity cabinet.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, in addition to the effective use of living space, space utilization of vanities and vanity cabinets installed in sanitary equipment spaces has been promoted.

An example of this type of decorative cabinet is the structure described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-35073. In this case, a plurality of shelves are formed on the front side of the sleeve of a makeup cabinet, and the upper and lower shelves are used to provide a storage section for articles. The shelves protrude significantly forward, and doors with approximately L-shaped or circular cross sections are attached along the front edges of the upper and lower shelves so as to be openable and closable. By providing a shelf that protrudes forward and a door shaped to cover its edge,
It is possible to provide a storage space for articles that is not restricted by the depth dimension of the makeup cabinet.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Incidentally, a storage section provided by a shelf and a door is often used to store toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, cosmetics, and the like. Among these items,
Toothbrushes need to be stored cleanly due to their intended use, so for example, toothbrushes are hung from the back wall of the shelf. However, since various items are placed on the shelf, it is inconvenient to take out and take out the toothbrush stored at the back, which poses a problem in terms of toothbrush storage.

For example, as a storage for toothbrushes,
There is one described in Utility Model Publication No. 58-3590.
This makes it easier to use by leaning the toothbrush against the back of the door, but if the toothbrush is too close to the back of the door, the brush part of the toothbrush will come into contact with the dirt on the door, creating a hygiene problem. be.
In particular, doors made of synthetic resin are undesirable because dust tends to adhere to them due to static electricity and stains are also noticeable.

In addition, in order to effectively utilize the recessed space formed on the back side of the door, it must not reduce the effective use of shelves for storing items.
In addition, when the door is opened, the structure is such that not only items placed and stored on the shelf surface but also items stored in the recess on the back of the door do not fall out. The condition is that the appearance of the product does not deteriorate.

The problem to be solved in the present invention is to find a means for effectively utilizing the recessed space formed on the back surface of the shelf door while satisfying the above conditions.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, at least a pair of upper and lower shelf boards are made to protrude from the front edge of the side plate, and the outer edges of the ends thereof are formed in an arc shape, and between the pair of upper and lower shelf boards, there is provided an arc-shaped arc that substantially matches the outer edges of the ends of these shelf boards. A shelf door having a cross section is provided so as to be openable and closable, and the shelf door has a shelf section on the back surface of its lower end portion for receiving a lower end of a toothbrush, and further has a plurality of insertion openings for inserting toothbrushes above the shelf section. The opened upper plate has a planar shape with a straight rear end and protrudes toward the back, and the insertion openings are arranged along the straight line of the rear end of the upper plate and spaced apart from the back surface of the shelf door. shall be.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows the cosmetic cabinet of the present invention installed on a wash basin, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the same cosmetic cabinet.

In FIG. 1, A indicates a washstand with a counter B and a washbasin C provided on its upper surface. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cosmetic cabinet according to the present invention, which is integrally attached to the washstand A.

Referring to FIG. 2, a shelf 2 is provided at the bottom of the cosmetic cabinet 1, a makeup mirror 3 is attached to the center above the shelf 2, and a plurality of vertically long shelves 4 are arranged on the left and right sides of the shelf 2. It is located. Of course, it is also possible to replace the makeup mirror 3 with a storage shelf or something else. Further, an overhang 5 is provided at the upper end of the shelf 4, and a light bulb mounting surface 6 is formed in the lower part thereof, which is inclined forward and has a concave surface. A top plate 7 that extends forward at the top end of the makeup mirror 3
, and an indirect lighting fixture can be built into the top plate 7. The light bulb mounting surface 6 has a structure in which a lighting bulb 8 is directly mounted, making it easy to replace the lighting bulb 8, and the bulb mounting surface 6, which is inclined forward and forms a concave surface, serves as a reflector for lighting. The structure also functions to improve lighting efficiency, and even with the structure in which the lighting bulb 8 is exposed, the balance between the shapes of the bulb mounting surface 6 and the top plate 7 makes it look completely natural from a design standpoint.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shelf 4 has a curved front edge 10 that protrudes forward from the front edge of the side plate 9. Moreover, each shelf except the lowest shelf of the shelf part 4 on one side is in an exposed state without a cover.

The lowermost shelf of the shelf section 4 on the right side of the front is provided with a shelf door 11 for use as a shelf for storing sanitary utensils such as toothbrushes and razors.

The shelf door 11 has a cross-sectional shape that follows the curved surface of the outer edge of the upper and lower shelf boards 41 and 42 shown in FIGS. This allows maximum use of the surface area.

As a storage shelf for sanitary utensils having such a shelf door 11, it is preferable to place it on the right side when facing the makeup mirror 3 due to its usage, but it is of course possible to provide it on either the left or right shelf 4. It is. At this time, any conventionally known door mounting structure that can be opened at any location and in any direction may be employed.

3 and 4 respectively correspond to the I-
It is a figure which shows the cross-sectional structure of the shelf door 11 seen from the I line and the - line, and is a figure which shows the hinge structure of the shelf door 11, and the structure of a handle part.

As shown in FIG. 3, the hinge structure has holes 411 and 421 at the ends of the upper and lower shelf boards 41 and 42, and protrusions 101 and 102 that serve as opening/closing support means at corresponding positions on the shelf door 11. , same protrusions 101 and 102
It has a structure in which these are inserted into holes 411 and 421.
In addition, the opening/closing mechanism has an open button mechanism 13 attached to the front end of the side plate 9, and when the shelf door 11 is closed, the protrusion 111 of the shelf door 11 presses the button 14 of the open button mechanism 13, thereby opening the inside of the open button mechanism 13. The structure is such that a suitable locking mechanism (not shown) works by pressing the spring material 15. Also, shelf door 1
When opening 1, the procedure is the reverse of the above.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, among the plurality of shelves 4, the bottom shelf is formed to match the shape of the front edges of the upper and lower shelf boards 41, 42 protruding from the side plate 9. A shelf door 11 is provided, and a hook for storing toothbrushes and the like is provided on the back side of the shelf door 11 as a storage section for small items such as a toothbrush in a recessed part on the back side of the shelf door 11. Therefore, for aesthetic reasons, small items such as toothbrushes and razors that cannot be placed on shelves where the interior is exposed when not in use can be stored in an orderly manner.
In addition, the shelf door 11 has left and right side plates 9 on the back side of the shelf section 4.
Since it is surrounded by , it is suitable for storing large items such as cosmetic bottles, and the side plate 9 can prevent items from falling. Further, since the shelf board 42 protrudes from the side plate 9, when the shelf door 11 is opened and used, cosmetic bottles and the like can be temporarily placed on the front part of the shelf board 42, making it easy to take items in and out.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of the storage section for small items such as the toothbrush when the shelf door 11 shown in FIG. 2 is viewed from the back side, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the state seen from the - line in FIG. 5. FIG.

In these figures, 17 is an upper plate having an insertion opening 18 into which a plurality of toothbrushes are inserted;
is a partition plate for each inserted toothbrush, and 20 indicates a vent. In order to maintain the cleanliness of stored items, the storage area for each toothbrush is open, and a shelf 21 is provided at the lower end of the shelf door 11, which can be used to store toothbrushes and the like. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, with respect to the back surface of the shelf door 11 having an arc-shaped cross section, the rear end of the upper plate 17 projects toward the back side as a straight line running in the opening direction. Since the insertion slot 18 through which the toothbrush is passed is arranged in a straight line away from the back surface of the shelf door 11, even if the toothbrush is stood up, the brush part is unlikely to hit the back surface of the shelf door 11. Therefore, the back surface of the shelf door 11 does not get dirty, and a sanitary toothbrush storage space is maintained.

When the shelf portion 21 formed on the back surface of the shelf door 11 is intended to store toothbrushes, etc.,
It must not obstruct the storage capacity of the shelf board 42 itself, and as shown in FIG.
It is necessary to provide the front edges 22 of the upper plate 17 and the shelf 21 at a position appropriately set back from both edges of the shelf door 11, rather than in the entire area of the recess on the back surface of the shelf door 11.

Furthermore, when the front edge of the shelf section 4 is made circular,
Of course, it is also possible to make the front edge 22 of the shelf part 21 formed on the back surface of the shelf door 11 into a circularly protruding shape so that the back surface of the shelf door 11 becomes a storage part with a relatively large storage capacity.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, at least a pair of upper and lower shelf boards are formed with an arc-shaped tip outer shell that protrudes in front of the side plate, and a shelf door that matches the tip outer shell is provided, and a toothbrush is placed on the back side of the shelf door. I try to hold it so that it doesn't come into contact with it. Therefore, when the shelf door is opened, the portion of the shelf board protruding from the side plate is wide open, making it easier to take items in and out. In addition, the toothbrushes are stored in a straight line on the back of the shelf door, so they do not interfere with the items placed on the shelf.
You can also increase the storage capacity by using shelves. Furthermore, since the toothbrush does not touch the back surface of the shelf door, dirt on the back surface of the shelf door does not come into contact with the brush portion, allowing the toothbrush to be stored hygienically.
