Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a counter installed in a unit bathroom.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when installing a counter in a unit bathroom, it was done as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In the case shown in FIG. 5, the side wall of the floor pan 2 of the unit bath 1 is made to protrude toward the washing area 3, and a horizontal counter 4 is formed on the upper surface of the protrusion. Then, the flange portion 5 of the floor pan 2
A mixing faucet 7 for hot and cold water is attached to a side wall panel 6 erected. In some cases, the mixing faucet 7 was attached to an upright wall 5a on the washing area side of the counter 4, as shown in FIG.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when installing the mixing faucet 7 on the side wall panel 6, the depth dimension W of the counter 4 must be reduced because a bucket 9 or the like may be placed in the washing area 3 in the water discharge area of the water discharge pipe 8. Ta. Therefore, there are cases where small articles such as hair washing products and cosmetics cannot be placed sufficiently on the counter 4, which is inconvenient. In addition, as shown in FIG.
It is possible to make it sufficiently large. However, due to the size of the mixing faucet 7 protruding from the upright wall 5a of the counter 4, the space occupied in the washing area 3 for bathing, etc. is reduced, and the user sometimes feels cramped and oppressed during use. . This increases as the depth dimension W of the counter 4 increases, and by providing the counter 4,
There was a mutually contradictory problem with the need to secure a sufficient occupied space for bathing and the like.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is an improvement and elimination of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and even if the depth of the counter is sufficient, it is possible to secure an occupied space on the washing area side for bathing. The idea is to provide a unit bus counter.

The feature of the counter according to the present invention is that it is installed on the wall on the washing side of the unit bath, and its depth is larger than the protruding length of the faucet that is attached to the top of the counter or the wall above the counter. and a notch is formed in a portion of the counter corresponding to the water discharge area of the faucet.

[Effect]

Since the depth of the counter according to the present invention is set larger than the protruding length of the faucet, the faucet does not protrude from the front end of the counter toward the washing area. In other words, the only part that protrudes from the wall on the washroom side is the depth of the counter, so even if this depth is set wide,
The protruding dimension from the wall surface can be kept to the necessary minimum. Furthermore, since a notch is formed on the counter corresponding to the water discharge area of the faucet, the usability of the faucet is not impaired at all. Furthermore, since a tub or the like can be placed using this notch, the floor area for bathing in the washing area is substantially expanded.

〔Example〕

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially sectional perspective view of a unit bus 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the washing area 1 of the floor pan 12 is
3 sides are bent to form a horizontal counter mounting surface 12
A is formed, and a counter 14 is installed on the counter mounting surface 12a. And side wall panel 1
A semicircular notch 18 is formed in the front end of the counter 14 facing the washing area 13 in correspondence with the water discharge pipe 17 of the mixing faucet 16 attached to the floor pan 12. A recess 12c corresponding to the notch 18 is also formed in the wall 12b.
Therefore, the tub 19 can be placed below the spouting pipe 17 while being inserted into the recess 12c, and the space required for bathing on the washing area 13 side is not restricted. Furthermore, even if the depth dimension W of the counter 14 is sufficiently increased, the usability of the faucet 16 will not be impaired at all due to the formation of the notch 18, and the usable floor space will be substantially expanded. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently secure the occupied space necessary for the bathing operation on the side of the washing area 13.
Therefore, small articles such as hair washing supplies and bathing supplies can be stably placed on the tray, making it easy to use.

By the way, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the notch 18 on the front side of the counter 14 may be formed with a straight plane. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the cutout portion 18 of the counter 14 may be formed close to the corner portion 20 of the floor pan 12. Further, the counter 14 may be formed integrally with the floor pan, or only the counter 14 may be attached to the side wall panel 15 of the bath unit 11, as shown in FIG.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the present invention, the depth dimension of the counter installed on the side wall of the washing area of the unit bath is set to be larger than the protruding length of the faucet, thereby preventing the faucet from protruding from the front end of the counter. Therefore, the only part that protrudes from the washroom wall is the depth of the counter. Therefore,
Not only is it safe and aesthetically pleasing, it also has a wide depth dimension that allows small items such as hair washing products and bathing products to be stably placed on the counter.
There is no risk of encroachment on the occupied space necessary for bathing operations on the washing area side. Furthermore, by forming a cutout in the counter that corresponds to the water spouting area of the faucet, the usability of the faucet is not impaired, and the floor space that can be effectively used in the washing area is substantially expanded.
