Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Purpose of the Invention" (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a novel cosmetic cabinet that can be installed even in a small room such as a shower room.

(Prior art) In ordinary houses, shower rooms are used as supplementary bathing facilities other than bathrooms, or to compensate as much as possible under housing conditions where it is difficult to provide a spacious bathroom. Often installed as equipment. Therefore, the structure and equipment of the shower room have been simplified, and the indoor space has been kept to a size that is barely large enough for one adult to take a shower.

However, although conventional shower rooms do not have sufficient space as mentioned above, in most cases there is a washbasin or washbasin (hereinafter collectively referred to as a water basin) in the shower room. ) was provided. The water basin body was used to store hot water for washing hair, etc., and to effectively utilize indoor space as a restroom or washroom when the shower was not in use.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The structure for attaching the water receiving basin body to the vertical wall surface in the shower room is a fixed structure using bolts or the like. For this reason, naturally, an indoor room that does not have enough space to begin with is further constricted by the water bowl, and when you try to take a shower as intended, the water bowl becomes an obstruction and poses a danger. It was hot. As described above, making it difficult to take a shower in a shower room is truly putting the cart before the horse, and as a result, the indoor space has to be expanded.
However, as mentioned above, the shower room is only installed as a supplement to the bathroom, so even if the expansion of the indoor space in the shower room is a result of the provisional ordinance, it will enhance its functionality. , which caused consumers to avoid using it.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to create a shower room that does not make the room, such as a shower room, narrower than an unavoidable limit, and is extremely convenient for using a water receiving basin. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel decorative cabinet (hereinafter referred to as the "proposed cabinet") for applications such as the present invention.

``Structure of the invention'' (Means for solving problems) The gist of the proposed cabinet is that it has an upright base and a water receiving basin on the top surface of which are formed counter parts for mounting hot and cold water mixing faucets, shower switching faucets, etc. A cabinet comprising a body, wherein a lower part of the counter part is a storage opening for storing the water receiving bowl body,
A locking strip extending downward is formed on the lower surface side of the counter part, and a locking protrusion to be engaged with the locking strip is formed extending upward on the rear part of the water receiving bowl body. A folding shaft, which serves as a swing axis when swinging the water receiving pot body, is inserted in the horizontal direction into a long hole extending in the front-rear direction formed on both sides of the water receiving pot body.

(Function) In order to maintain the water-receiving bowl in the horizontal direction, the water-receiving bowl stored in the storage opening at the bottom of the counter is inserted into the long holes extending in the front and back direction formed on both sides of the water-receiving bowl. After positioning the folding shaft on the rear side and swinging upward about the folding shaft, positioning the folding shaft on the front side of the elongated hole and providing a locking vertical strip on the lower surface side of the counter part; It is engaged with a locking protrusion provided at the rear of the water receiving pot body.

On the other hand, in order to store the water-receiving bowl body in the storage opening from the horizontally maintained state, the water-receiving bowl body is raised slightly, the engagement between the locking stubs and the locking protrusions is released, and the folding shaft is lengthened. Place it behind the hole and swing it downward. Therefore, when taking a shower indoors, if the water receiving bowl body is swung relative to the upright base so that the top surface of the bowl is along the direction in which the upright base is installed, the floor area occupied by the entire cabinet of the present invention can be reduced. is approximately the same as the thickness of the water receiving pot, and the indoor space will not become narrower beyond an unavoidable limit. In this way, it is not only possible to prevent the indoor space from expanding, but it is also possible to use a large water receiving bowl without worrying about the size of the floor space it occupies in the state of use. etc. can be done easily.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on drawings showing examples thereof.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the proposed cabinet. The cabinet of this invention consists of an upright base 1 and a water receiving pot body 2.

The upright base 1 has a wide columnar box shape, and a storage opening 1b corresponding to the top surface shape of the water receiving pot body 2 is bored in the wide front part. A counter portion 4 is formed on the upper end surface 1a of the upright base 1 on which a hot water mixing faucet 3a, a shower switching faucet 3b, etc. are mounted.

The water-receiving basin body 2 consists of a washbasin, a washbasin, etc., and is held in a cantilevered manner by the upright base 1 so as to protrude from inside the storage opening 1b toward the front side thereof. The water receiving pot body 2 has a wide concave opening on the top surface of the pot.
It is preferable that the pot part is thin and lightweight.

The water receiving pot body 2 is connected to the upright base 1 with a storage mechanism 5 interposed therebetween.
The storage mechanism 5 has folding shafts 5a, 5a protruding from both internal side surfaces of the upright base 1, which are connected to the water receiving pot body 2.
They are fitted into elongated holes 5b, 5b, respectively, bored on the outer surface of the. Therefore, the water receiving bowl body 2 is capable of sliding back and forth with respect to the upright base 1 along the direction in which the elongated hole 5b is formed, and the folding shaft 5
It is configured to be able to swing downwardly or upwardly about a and 5a. Moreover, if the water receiving pot body 2 is pulled out to the front side and then swung in the lowering direction, the water receiving pot body 2 will fit into the storage opening 1b of the upright base 1. There is.

The inner upper corner of the storage opening 1b in the upright base 1 is formed into a downward step shape, and the downward surface thereof serves as a load receiving surface 1c for the water receiving pot body 2. Furthermore, a locking hanging strip 1d is formed downwardly on the front edge of the load receiving surface 1c. On the other hand, a locking protrusion 2a is provided on the upper surface of the rear side of the water receiving pot body 2 in a protruding manner. Then, the locking protrusion 2a is attached to the upright base 1.
When it comes into contact with the load bearing surface 1c and engages with the locking hanging strip 1d, in the storage mechanism as described above, the frontmost end of the elongated hole 5b of the water receiving bowl body 2 comes into contact with the folding shaft 5a. They are related in such a way that they are in a state of Therefore, in the water receiving pot body 2 in this state, the load on the front half of the pot with the folding shaft 5a as a border exceeds the load on the back of the rear half, and the reaction force of the force that tends to lower the front half is The force is transmitted so as to strongly press the locking protrusion 2a against the load bearing surface 1c of the upright base 1. For this reason, the water receiving pot body 2 is
It is held in a cantilevered manner so as to protrude substantially horizontally toward the indoor side.

Next, the usage status of the proposed cabinet will be explained based on FIGS. 2A to 2D. First, the figure A is
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the water receiving pot body 2 is expanded into a state of use. The cabinet of the present invention is arranged so that the back surface of the upright base 1 is in contact with the upright wall surface 6 of a shower room or the like. In addition, water receiving pot body 2
Since the locking protrusion 2a on the inner side thereof is brought into contact with the load bearing surface 1c of the upright base 1, the state of protrusion into the room is guaranteed. still,
Reference numeral 7 in the figure is a flexible drainage hose that can be expanded and contracted to some extent. Now, assume that the water receiving bowl body 2 is to be stored for reasons such as taking a shower. First, as shown by the arrow, the front edge of the water receiving bowl body 2 is pulled up as it is.
In this embodiment, a rib 2b is formed to protrude from the front edge of the water receiving pot body 2, so that it is easy to hook a finger onto the water receiving pot body 2 during the lifting operation. By this lifting operation, the water receiving pot body 2 is folded into the folding shaft 5.
a, 5a as the center, and as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Next, the water receiving bowl body 2 is pulled out upward to the front side as shown by the solid line, and then the lifting force is gradually loosened. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The front edge swings downwardly due to its own weight. The state after complete rocking is shown in figure D.
Shown below. If this is done, the total floor area of the proposed cabinet will be approximately
It fits within the thickness of the pot part of the water receiving pot body 2, and is placed indoors.
This will ensure the space necessary for various activities such as taking a shower.

(Study of Alternative Embodiments) The installation location of the proposed cabinet is not limited to the shower room. For example, bathrooms, changing rooms,
It can be anywhere, such as the living room. In addition, the storage mechanism 5
Regarding this, it is also possible to extend the elongated hole 5a of the water receiving pot body 2 to the vicinity of the front edge of the pot body so that the bottom side of the water receiving pot body 2 is exposed in the stored state. That is, the water receiving pot body 2 is continuously raised from the state shown in FIG. Further, the upright substrate is not limited to a box-like structure, and may be a gate-shaped structure made of a combination of rods, a plate-like structure, a column-shaped structure, or the like. In this way, the configuration and shape of the cabinet according to the present invention can be changed as appropriate depending on the mode of implementation.
