Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a washbasin with an improved basin.

[Prior Art] FIG. 5 is a side view of a conventional washbasin. Reference numeral 1 designates a counter, a wash basin 2 is provided above it, and a mirror cabinet 3 is erected on the back side of the counter 1. In the washbasin 2, the upper surfaces of the four walls surrounding the bowl part are approximately at the same height, and the bowl part itself is relatively shallow. Further, a faucet 4 is attached to the upper surface on the back side of the washbasin 2.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional wash basin described above, since the basin is shallow, water splashes around when washing hands, etc., and tends to wet the top surface of the counter.

Furthermore, since the faucet is attached to the upper surface of the back wall of the wash basin, water tends to accumulate near the base of the faucet, making it easy for mold and other dirt to adhere to the faucet, resulting in unsanitary conditions. Furthermore, since the faucet is located outside the bowl of the basin, the faucet cannot be completely washed with water, making cleaning difficult.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The washbasin of the present invention includes a counter whose top plate surface is substantially horizontal and whose front apron surface is substantially vertical, and which fits into the washbasin installation opening of the counter. In a wash basin having a combined wash basin, the opening is formed from the top surface of the counter to the front side, and the front wall of the wash basin is configured to be lower than the other three walls. A deep bowl washbasin with a deep bowl and a bowl part deeper than the front wall,
It is characterized in that a water faucet is provided on an inner wall of at least one of the other three walls.

[Function] In such a washstand, the user has to insert his/her hand into the deep bowl to wash his/her hands or face, making it difficult for water to splash around. Also, since the faucet is located inside the bowl, water does not accumulate on the countertop near the faucet. Furthermore, even if the faucet is completely washed with water, all of the washing water falls into the basin.

[Example] Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wash basin with a deep basin according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 5 designates a counter whose upper top plate surface is a substantially horizontal surface and whose front apron surface is a substantially vertical surface. 6 is fitted. This washbasin 6 has three high walls 6a, 6b, and 6c on the left, right, and front sides, and the front wall 6d is high.
It is lower than the front walls a to 6c, and has a deep bowl shape that is deeper than the front wall 6d. A faucet 7 is attached to the front wall 6b. In this embodiment, the faucet 7 is an automatic faucet, and as shown in FIG. 2, it includes water spouting switches 7a, 7b, and 7c for selectively discharging high-temperature water, medium-temperature water, and low-temperature water (room-temperature tap water), and a stop switch. A water switch 7d is provided on the upper surface side, and a water spout 7e in the shape of a waterfall is provided on the lower surface side.

A mirror wall 8 is erected on the back side of the counter 5. A lighting 9 is installed at the top of the mirror wall 8, and a lighting switch 1 is installed at the bottom of the mirror wall 8.
0 is set. Reference numeral 11 indicates an outlet.

In the washstand of this embodiment, the mirror 8a extends from the left end to the right end of the mirror wall 8 so that when a plurality of washstands are installed in parallel, a mirror wall that continues in the left and right direction is formed. ing.

In a washstand configured in this way, the user inserts his/her hand into the deep bowl of the washbasin 6 to wash hands or wash the face, making it difficult for water to splash onto the top surface of the counter 5 around the washbasin 6. . Furthermore, since the faucet 7 is located inside the bowl, water does not accumulate on the counter top surface near the faucet as in the conventional case. moreover,
Even when the faucet 7 is completely washed with water, all of the washing water falls into the bowl, making it easy to clean the faucet 7.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a washbasin according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a plurality of wash basins 6 are provided on a long counter 5, and a partition 12 is provided to protrude forward from a mirror wall 8 so as to partition between adjacent wash basins 6. In this embodiment, both sides of this partition 12 are mirrors 12a.
It is said that it can also be used like a three-sided mirror.
Further, a cover 13 is provided at the attachment base of the partition 12 to the mirror wall 8, a lighting fixture is installed inside this cover 13, and a window material made of a transparent material or a semi-transparent material is provided in the cover 13. The attached opening 13a is opened.

In addition, when the partition 12 is provided in this way, the partition 1 is
The second mirror 12a may be provided so as to be able to be opened to the front side. This makes it extremely easy for the user to project a close-up view of the user's face.

The above-mentioned embodiment is an example of the present invention, and the present invention can also take on aspects other than the above. For example, the counter may have drawers or doors as shown in FIG.
A mirror cabinet as shown in the figure may also be used.
Furthermore, the faucet 6 may be a manual type,
In this case, in addition to a hot water mixer tap, a single tap may also be used. Two or more such faucets may be installed. The wall surface to which the faucet is attached may be the front wall shown, or the left and right walls. If the washbasin has a sufficient size, each wall surface 6a, 6b,
Faucets may be attached to any two or more wall surfaces of 6c.

In the present invention, the wash basin may be a so-called hand wash basin, which is mainly used for washing hands.

[Effects] As described above, in the washstand of the present invention, water does not easily scatter when washing hands or washing the face, and the counter top surface is prevented from getting wet. Further, unlike in the past, the faucet is not installed on the top of the counter, and the problem of water leakage at the faucet mounting part and water easily accumulating near the faucet mounting part is solved. Furthermore, cleaning the faucet is extremely easy.
