Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to furniture equipped with a towel rack, such as a washstand or a sink. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of a towel rack in such furniture.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, as furniture equipped with a towel rack, for example, the one shown in FIG. 6 is known.

In this conventional furniture, the mounting end H' of the towel rack H is brought into contact with the front surface P' of the curtain plate P that covers the front part of the furniture, and the mounting end H' is fixed with a screw S from the rear surface P'' of the curtain plate P. This is what happens.

According to furniture having such a mounting structure for the towel rack H, the towel rack H can be placed in front of the curtain plate P near the areas where washing, cooking, etc. It has the advantage that it can be done easily and easily.

However, according to such conventional furniture,
Towel rack H, curtain plate P bends and deforms due to the weight of the towel and the force of pulling the towel.
In some cases, it may not be possible to maintain the horizontally correct installation form, so strong structural measures such as increasing the thickness of the curtain plate P must be taken, which increases manufacturing costs and impairs the design of the curtain plate. The problem is that there are restrictions.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose is to create a towel rack that has flexibility in the design of the curtain board and can be manufactured at low cost. Our goal is to provide furniture with the following features.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the furniture according to the present invention is provided with a towel rack near a curtain plate that covers the front part of the furniture, in which the mounting end of the towel rack is passed through the curtain plate. A configuration is adopted in which the mounting end protrudes into the interior of the furniture and is fixed to a relatively strong structural material other than the curtain board via a support.

(Function) In the above configuration, passing the mounting end of the towel rack through the curtain board prevents the load on the towel rack from being applied to the curtain board, and making the mounting end of the towel rack protrude into the interior of the furniture prevents the load from being applied to the curtain board. By making it possible to select a fixing point other than the board and by fixing the mounting end of the towel rack to a relatively strong structural member other than the curtain board via a support, the towel rack can be firmly fixed.

As a result, it is no longer necessary to take strong structural measures such as increasing the thickness of the curtain plate, achieving the objective of providing flexibility in the design of the curtain plate and making it possible to manufacture it at low cost. .

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the furniture according to the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5.

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of furniture according to the present invention.

This embodiment relates to furniture consisting of a washstand 2 equipped with a long towel rack 1.

The bathroom vanity 2, which is the furniture of this example, has a second
As shown in Fig. 3, the storage cabinet 21
A mortar-shaped wash basin 22 is provided on the upper part of the wash basin 22, and a back wall part 23 in which a mirror or the like is incorporated is further provided at the rear upper part of the wash basin 22.

For this washstand 2, a towel rack 1 is arranged in an arc shape along the side wall of the washbasin 22, and is used to hold relatively large towels such as bath towels or towels such as a plurality of small towels. It has a long shape so that a T can be hung on it.

As shown in FIG. 1, this towel rack 1 has a hollow pipe shape, and its mounting end 11 passes through a curtain plate 24 around a wash basin 22 above the storage cabinet 21. In this penetrating structure, as shown in detail in FIG. 1, an insertion hole 24' having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the towel rack 1 is formed in the curtain plate 24, and the towel rack 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 24'. It is designed to be inserted loosely. According to this penetrating structure that is loosely inserted, it is possible to prevent the towel rack 1 from coming into contact with the curtain plate 24. The insertion hole 24' can be hidden by fitting a disk-shaped blinding plate 3 into the insertion part 12 of the towel rack 1.

The mounting end 11 of the towel rack 1 passing through the curtain plate 24 projects inside the furniture, that is, inside the storage cabinet 21, and the core material 4 is inserted and fixed into the end opening of the mounting end 11. A support 5 made of an L-shaped angle member is hung between the mounting end 11 and the side plate 21' of the storage cabinet 21, and the side wall 21' side of the support 5 is fixed with wood screws 6. , the mounting end 11 side is fixed to the core material 4 with bolts and screws 7.

According to such an attachment structure of the towel rack 1, the attachment end 11 is firmly attached to the side plate 21', which is a relatively strong structural member, via the support device 5.
The attachment form of the towel rack 1 arranged around the washbasin 22 can be maintained. Note that the fact that the mounting end 11 of the towel rack 1 protrudes into the interior of the storage cabinet 21 means that in addition to the side plate 21', other relatively strong structural members such as the crosspiece of the storage cabinet 21 are selected as the fixing object. enable.

Further, according to the mounting structure of the towel rack 1, since no load is applied to the curtain plate 24, there is no need for the curtain plate 24 to have a particularly strong structure, and manufacturing costs are reduced. 24 design provides flexibility. Note that if the curtain plate 24 is molded from a thin sheet of synthetic resin, a curved surface, unevenness, etc. can be formed to improve the design at low cost.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the furniture according to the present invention.

This embodiment relates to furniture consisting of a sink 9 equipped with a ring-shaped towel rack 8.

The sink 9, which is the furniture of this embodiment, has a top plate 92 provided above a storage section 91, as shown in FIG.

In contrast to the sink 9, a towel rack 8 is arranged on the front wall of the storage section 91, and has a ring shape so that towels T such as small towels can be hung thereon.

As shown in FIG. 4, this towel rack 8 consists of a ring part 81 and a support part 82, and an attachment end 83 at the end of the support part 82 passes through a curtain plate 93 forming the front part of the storage part 91. are doing. In this penetrating structure, as shown in detail in FIG.
It is designed to be inserted loosely. According to this penetrating structure that is loosely inserted, it is possible to prevent the towel rack 8 from coming into contact with the curtain plate 93, as in the first embodiment. The insertion hole 93' can be hidden by fitting a disc-shaped blinding plate 3 into the insertion part 84 of the towel rack 8.

The mounting end 83 of the towel rack 8 that penetrates the curtain plate 93 projects inside the furniture, that is, inside the storage section 91.
A support 5 made of an L-shaped angle material is hung between the mounting end 83 and the top plate 92, and the top plate 92 side and the mounting end 83 side of the support 5 are secured with bolts and screws 7, respectively. Fixed. In addition, the top plate 92
In addition to the horizontal bars 94 that constitute the storage section 91,
95 may also be installed.

This embodiment has the same effects as the first embodiment described above.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the furniture according to the present invention has the advantage that the curtain plate does not need to have a strong structure, so there is flexibility in the design of the curtain plate, and it can be manufactured at a low cost. There is.

Furthermore, since it does not involve major structural changes to existing furniture, it has the advantage of being able to be easily remodeled into existing furniture.
