Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a built-in cabinet that utilizes, for example, the wall surface of a washroom in which a washstand is disposed, and is disposed entirely buried in the wall surface.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Bathroom vanities supplied to the market for general household use have come to be developed in a variety of ways, with functions for not only washing the face and hair, but also storing items. The general layout of this bathroom vanity is to place it in a room adjacent to the bath, or to create a building with the frontage aligned with the bathroom vanity and install it as a built-in type.

In the latter case, both sides of the bathroom vanity are partitioned by the wall of the building, so it is effective to use this wall to embed the cabinet to increase the storage capacity of items. As shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, such a built-in cabinet has a structure in which a recess 51 is vertically provided in a wall 50, and the cabinet is built into the recess 51. The main body 52 of the cabinet is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet and has a concave cross section with a shelf 53 integrally formed therein.

Also, when installing the main body 52, place it in the recess 5.
1 and fix the left and right side walls 54 of the main body 52 to the wall 50 with screws 55. Since this fixing method is easy to install, it is generally widely used in recessed cabinets.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Incidentally, the shape of the main body 52 is constant for each product, and the width and height between the left and right side walls 54 are also the same. Therefore, when assembling into the wall 50, the opening and height of the recess 51 must be suitable for the cabinet. However, when constructing the recess 51 with mortar,
Since the rough finish remains, the opening dimensions may not be appropriate. In particular, in order to facilitate fitting of the main body 52, it is necessary to make the opening of the recess 51 larger than the main body 52, and as a result, a gap is often created between the outer surface of the main body 52 and the recess 51.

As described above, the conditions for installing the main body 52 also change depending on the construction status of the recess 51. In this case, if there is a gap between the side wall of the recess 51 and the main body 52, only this portion will be recessed in order to tighten the screw 55. Such deformation of the main body 52 causes the recess 51
This also occurs depending on the flatness of the main body 52, resulting in unavoidable twisting and deflection of the main body 52.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to prevent deformation when fixing an embedded cabinet using a thin sheet to a wall, and to obtain a good construction body.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a main body having a substantially concave cross-sectional shape made of a thin synthetic resin sheet, and a front end of the left and right side walls of the main body.
A rim is formed with a front edge that bends outward and a rim wall that bends toward the back from an extended end of the front edge, and a support member is interposed in the gap between the rim wall and the side wall. The support member is arranged in contact with the left and right end walls of a recess provided in the wall, and the main body is further fixed by a screw that penetrates the side wall and the support member and is screwed into the wall. .

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the installation of the embedded cabinet of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a view showing the arrangement in a washroom.

The embedded cabinet has a main body 1 integrally molded from a thin synthetic resin sheet as in the conventional example. This main body 1 has a back wall 2
It has a generally concave cross-section with left and right side walls 3 extending forward from both sides of. The distance between the left and right side walls 3 is smaller than the frontage dimension of the recess 51 provided in the wall 50.

Further, on the front surface of the main body 1, a rim 4 bent toward the back is formed around the entire circumference. That is, the front edge 5 bent outward from the front end and the rim wall 6 extending toward the back side are applied to the wall 50 so as to form a decorative edge. As shown in FIG. 1, the cross-sectional shape of the rim wall 6 is linear so that the side that contacts the wall 50 is orthogonal to the wall 50.
Regarding the arrangement of the front edge 5 and the rim wall 6,
A gap 7 is formed between the inner surface of the rim wall 6 and the side wall 3.

A support member 8 for fixing the main body 1 within the recess 51 is interposed in the gap 7 . As this support member 8, a board made of wood or synthetic resin can be used, for example, and is integrated with the main body 1 on the outer surface of the side wall 3 with an adhesive such as hot melt. Furthermore, screw holes 10 and 11 are provided in the side wall 3 and the support member 8, respectively, into which fixing screws 9 are inserted. These screw holes 10 and 11 are provided at two locations on the upper and lower sides of the left and right side walls 3, respectively.

The support member 8 may be provided only in the portion where the screw holes 10 and 11 are located, or may be provided over the entire length of the side wall 3. Further, if the upper end surface and the lower end surface are also arranged, the fixing strength can be improved and the deformation of the main body 1 can be completely prevented.

Note that the main body 1 can take various forms so that it can function as an embedded cabinet. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of shelves 12 are provided inside, and articles are stored by using the shelves 12. In addition, the functionality can be further improved by integrally attaching various containers such as a toothbrush holder and a soap dish. Furthermore, a glass door 20 can be attached to the front of the main body 1 so as to be openable and closable. Note that if the front side of the door 20 is arranged as a mirror, it can be effectively used as a mirror placed next to a washstand.

In the above configuration, the work of assembling the main body 1 into the recess 51 involves fitting the main body 1 with the supporting member 8 attached into the recess 51, and inserting the screw 9 into the screw holes 10, 11.
This is done by screwing it into the wall 50. At this time, the depth dimension of the recess 51 is sufficiently large so that the main body 1
If the rim wall 6 can be inserted deeply into the recess 51, the rear edge of the rim wall 6 is cut on site. This reduces the protrusion of the front surface of the main body 1 and reduces the protrusion of the recess 5.
It becomes possible to carry out construction using the space of 1 effectively. Further, since the degree of protrusion of the main body 1 can be arbitrarily changed according to the amount of cutting of the rim wall 6, a layout can be made that matches the conditions at the installation site.

Further, since the support member 8 is interposed in the portion where the screw 9 is tightened, the side wall 3 portion will not be deformed even if the screw 9 is strongly tightened. Therefore, a construction body with a good appearance can be obtained without causing distortion in the main body 1.

The embedded cabinets constructed according to the above procedure are cabinet B of bathroom vanity A and wall cabinet C fixed to the upper wall as shown in Figure 3.
It can also be used to store items. In addition,
In FIG. 3, there is a door 20 on the front of the main body 1.
Indicates one that is not attached.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the embedded cabinet of the present invention, a rim bent in a substantially U-shape is formed on the front surface, and a support member is inserted in the gap formed at the back of this rim, so that the surface facing the wall is This support member is made to have the tightening force of the fixing screw. Therefore, even if the screws are strongly tightened, the cabinet backed by the support member will not be deformed, and a good construction product can be obtained.
