Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a bathroom vanity having a configuration in which a wash basin is integrally incorporated into a counter provided above a cabinet.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, washstands have been widely used, such as those with a ceramic washbasin placed directly on top of a relatively narrow cabinet, and those with a washbasin integrated into a counter made of artificial marble, etc. are doing. In the latter case, some have a structure in which the washbasin is suspended from the underside of the counter, while others have a rim protruding outward from the circumferential surface of the upper end of the washbasin, which can be placed on the counter surface.

In recent years, some of these washbasin mounting structures are arranged so that the counter and the top surface of the washbasin are on the same level. As shown in Fig. 4a, a washbasin mounting opening 2 is opened in a counter 1, and the upper end of the washbasin 3 is formed to follow the shape of the mounting opening 2. . As shown in Fig. 4b (cross-sectional view taken along the - arrow in Fig. 4a), an annular shape made of a stainless steel plate or the like is used to hide and seal the gap between the washbasin 3 and the mounting opening 2. A frame 4 is provided on the upper surface of both edges.

Further, the washbasin 3 is fixed to the counter 1 around its edge by a plurality of hanging fittings 5. This hanging fixture 5 includes a support plate 6 onto which two bolts 7 and 8 are screwed together from below. and,
By pressing one bolt 7 against the lower surface of a support block 9 made of wood or the like fixed in advance to the lower surface of the counter 1, and pressing the upper end of the other bolt 8 against the lower surface of the washbasin 3, the washbasin 3 is fixed. Hold fixed.

Furthermore, the frame 4 is provided with a plurality of engagement holes 4a corresponding to the positions of the hanging fittings 5, and a connecting piece 10 is provided between the engagement holes 4a and the support plate 6.
are placed. This connecting piece 10 applies a force that pulls the frame 4 downward by adjusting the vertical level of the support plate 6 using the bolts 7, and the frame 4 is connected to the counter 1 and the washbasin 3.
It can be placed in close contact with the

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, a cabinet curtain plate 11 is located on the front side of the counter 1, and the counter 1 is supported by this curtain plate 11. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a support block 9 between the curtain plate 11 and the mounting opening 2 for installing the hanging fitting 5 that supports the front edge portion of the frame 4.

However, the distance between the front of the counter 1 and the mounting opening 2 becomes large, and the washbasin 3 must be placed on the back side from the front edge of the counter 1. For this reason,
The washbasin 3 cannot be placed close to the front of the counter 1, and when using it, children, in particular, have to lean forward, which is difficult in terms of usability. In addition, in order to avoid this, a hanging metal fitting 5 that should be provided at the front edge of the washbasin 1.
If this is omitted, the restraining force on the frame 4 will be weakened, causing the frame to lift up and cause sealing failure.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to move the washbasin closer to the front edge of the counter to make it easier to use, and to completely prevent the frame from lifting up.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention opens a mounting hole in a counter, incorporates the upper end of the washbasin into the mounting hole, fixes the washbasin to the counter with a hanging fitting, and furthermore, In a washstand equipped with a frame that covers the upper surface of the edge of the washbasin,
A fixed seat projecting rearward is attached to the back of the curtain plate of the cabinet located at the lower front of the counter, and the upper piece of the hook, whose upper and lower ends are bent toward the curtain plate, is engaged with the frame. With,
The present invention is characterized in that a bolt screwed into the lower piece of the hook is brought into contact with the lower surface of the fixing seat.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. Note that the reference numbers in the drawings are the same as those described in the section of the prior art.

FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the main parts of an embodiment of the present invention.

Similar to the conventional example shown in FIG. 4, the washbasin 3 is fixed to the lower surface of the counter 1 at a total of eight points around its periphery by seven hanging fittings 5 and one fixture 20. For this purpose, support blocks 9 are provided at the required positions on the lower surface of the counter 1 on which the hanging fittings 5 are provided. And these 7
The hanging fittings 5 are exactly the same as those described in the prior art section, and the frame 4 is pulled down by a connecting piece 10 and fixed so as to cover the edges of the counter 1 and the washbasin 3. .

At the frontmost part of counter 1,
A fixture 20 for pulling down the frame 4 is provided. As shown in the exploded perspective view of FIG.
It is composed of a hook 23 whose upper end is fitted into the hole a, and a bolt 24 which is screwed into the hook 23 from below.

The fixed seat 22 has a substantially L-shaped vertical cross section, and as shown in FIG. 1, the upper end of the bolt 24 comes into contact with the lower surface of the lower piece 22a that projects toward the back. Further, the hook 23 has a vertical cross-sectional shape with both upper and lower ends bent toward the curtain plate 11, and a bolt 24 is screwed into the lower piece 23a of the hook 23 so as to be movable up and down. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower surface of the upper piece 23b that is fitted into the engagement hole 4a of the frame 4 is provided with a holding groove 23c into which the edge of the engagement hole 4a is fitted.

Note that the tip of the lower piece 22a of the fixed seat 22 is brought into contact with the front surface of the intermediate portion of the hook 23, and the size and shape are such that the tip of the lower piece 23a of the hook 23 does not come into contact with the curtain plate 11, and the bolt 24 is moved up and down. This prevents the tip of the lower piece 23a from digging into the back surface of the curtain plate 11 when moving forward and backward.

In the above configuration, the washbasin 3 is first fixed to the counter 1 by seven hanging fittings 5 arranged around the mounting opening 2 of the counter 1. At this time, the upper end of the connecting piece 10 fits into the engagement hole 4a of the frame 4, and by operating the bolts 7 and 8, the frame 4 is pulled down and fixed to the counter 1 and the washbasin 3. do.

Next, the upper piece 23b of the hook 23, onto which the bolt 24 is screwed, is fitted into the engagement hole 4a at the frontmost end of the frame 4, and at the same time, the holding groove 23c is fitted into the opening edge of the engagement hole 4a. Then, tighten the bolt 24 upward and attach the upper end to the lower piece 22 of the fixing seat 22.
a and the reaction force pulls the hook 23 downward.

This downward movement of the hook 23 exerts a downward force on the frame 4, and as a result, the frame 4, including its front end, comes into close contact with the upper surfaces of the counter 1 and the washbasin 3.

Here, since the fixture 20 has a short dimension in the depth direction and is directly fixed to the curtain plate 11, the distance from the curtain plate 11 to the frame 4 is shortened. That is, the distance from the front end of the counter 1 to the frame 4 and the washbasin 3 becomes smaller, and as a result, the washbasin 3 can be positioned on the front side. Therefore, when using the washbasin 3, even children of short stature can wash their faces in a comfortable posture without leaning too far forward.

Further, since the frame 4 covering the edges of the washbasin 3 and the counter 1, including the front end, is firmly supported, no lifting or bending deformation occurs. Therefore, if the lower surface of the frame 4 and the upper surfaces of the washbasin 3 and counter 1 are sealed with an appropriate sealant, a complete seal can be achieved without causing water leakage etc. over time.

Furthermore, FIG. 3b shows an example in which the shape of the hook 23 is changed. This hook 23 leaves only a lower piece 23a into which a bolt 24 is threaded, and forms a pair of arms 25 extending downward on the left and right sides thereof. Then, as shown in FIG. 3a, frame 4
When engaging the upper piece 23b with the engagement hole 4a, hold this arm 25 part in your fingers and screw the bolt 24. Furthermore, the head 2 of the bolt 24
4a fits within the space between the bifurcated arms 25 when screwed together with the lower piece 23a, making it possible to reduce the depth of the hook 23.

By providing the arms 25 on both sides of the lower piece 23a in this way, even if the gap between the washbasin 3 and the curtain plate 11 is narrow, the hook 23 can be easily handled and assembled easily.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the washstand of the present invention, the front end of the metal plate frame that covers the edge of the washbasin is engaged with the hook of the fixture provided on the back of the curtain plate of the cabinet. The frame is fixed by. Therefore, the front end of the frame can be positioned closer to the curtain board than in the case of using a conventional fixture placed on the underside of the counter in front of the washbasin attachment opening. Therefore, the distance from the front end of the counter to the frame and washbasin is shortened, and even short people such as children can use the counter in a comfortable position without leaning too far forward. In addition, since the front end of the frame can be pulled and fixed to the counter surface, it is possible to prevent the frame from lifting up. Furthermore,
Since the frame at the front end of the washbasin can be brought close to the counter, the caulking material that fills the gap between the counter and frame does not appear on the exterior, giving it a good appearance.
