Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a wash basin with a shower facility,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a wash basin equipped with a shower hose waterproofing device.

(Prior art) In recent years, showers have become more and more convenient to use, regardless of time and place, whether for home or business use, and in particular, by providing shower equipment in the washbasin even in ordinary homes, it has become easier to use showers. There is a need for a washbasin that allows people to wash their hair without taking off their clothes for a short time in the morning. The location of the shower equipment on the washstand varies, but it is most suitable to install it on the top of the washstand, taking into account the conditions in which the shower hose will be used and where it will be stored.

However, when the washbasin is equipped with a shower facility, it is important to make it completely waterproof to prevent water from entering the washbasin.

In other words, the connection part of the washbasin where the shower hose is pulled out has a slight gap between it and the shower hose so that the shower hose can be pulled out easily. It is easy to get into the inside of the stand. Therefore, there has been a problem in that these water and the like can cause the washbasin itself to rot over time.

For this reason, in order to completely waterproof the shower hose, a shower holder is installed at the connection part from which the shower hose is pulled out on the top of the washbasin, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 206768 of 1981, and Some base cabinets are provided with a shower hose storage section that is approximately cylindrical with an open top and has a bottom.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the substantially bottomed cylindrical shower hose storage section of the above-mentioned invention, the shower hose storage section, which should normally be located at the back of the washbasin case due to its structure, is inserted into the washbasin cabinet each time. Remove it from the
Alternatively, the process was extremely troublesome because it required a procedure such as removing the cap provided at the lower end of the shower hose storage section, pouring the collected water into a separately prepared container, and discarding it.

Furthermore, it is difficult to determine how much water has accumulated in the shower hose storage compartment, and the amount of accumulated water may be left unnoticed for a long time, resulting in a bad odor or damage to the stored shower hose. It was extremely unfavorable from a hygienic point of view as it was immersed in the accumulated water and detergent solution.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention serves as a waterproofing device for shower hoses, which prevents water from entering the sink, and which can easily dispose of accumulated water without taking out the shower hose storage section, making it hygienic. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a washstand equipped with a water-proofing device, and its means are as follows: Inside the cabinet of the washstand equipped with shower equipment, there is a funnel-shaped shower hose storage part that is open at the top and bottom and narrows toward the bottom. and a bottomed saucer portion installed separately below the lower opening of the shower hose storage and having an upper opening having a larger diameter than the lower opening of the shower hose storage. This is a washbasin equipped with a shower facility characterized by being equipped with a waterproof device.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of a washstand having a shower facility according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a shower hose waterproofing device 20, and the shower hose waterproofing device 20 includes a shower hose storage section 1 and a bottomed saucer section 2 installed separately from the shower hose storage section 1. Consisting of

The shower hose storage section 1 has an upper surface 1a and a lower surface 1b.
It is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a partially opened part, and has a size sufficient to accommodate a shower hose 3 of a predetermined length. The shower hose storage section 1 in this embodiment is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape with a rectangular plane so that it can be installed in a narrow space behind the washbasin case 6 inside the washbasin cabinet 5 by means of a stopper 4. .

The upper opening 1a of the shower hose storage section 1 is opened wide so that the shower hose 3 can be easily stored therein, and the lower opening 1b at the lower part serves as a drainage port to prevent water flowing down from the shower hose 3. Detergent liquid (hereinafter referred to as water, etc.)
In order to facilitate the flow of water, the diameter of the opening is made small by projecting in a tapered shape from near the center downward. That is, this shower hose storage section 1
As clearly shown in Figures 1 to 4, it has a funnel shape that narrows in the direction of its lower surface, which allows the shower hose 3 stored in the shower hose storage part 1 and the sewage to be separated. This completely separates the container from the saucer section 2 containing the container.

The shower hose storage section 1 is not limited to this rectangular shape in plan, but may be, for example, circular in plan. Furthermore, the upper opening 1a can accommodate the shower hose 3 easily, and the lower opening 1b is not limited to the shape of this embodiment, but can be of any size as long as it is large enough to drain water, etc. All you have to do is decide.

Lower opening 1b of this shower hose storage section 1
A bottomed saucer portion 2, which is installed separately, is installed below the container. The upper surface opening 2a of this saucer portion 2 has a diameter larger than that of the lower surface opening 1b of the storage section 1 so that water etc. discharged from the lower surface opening 1b of the shower hose storage section 1 can be received without spilling. It is provided.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the shape of the saucer part 2 is a flat plate with the entire upper surface open, but as shown in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, for example, the upper surface may be partially opened to prevent odor from coming out. Alternatively, it may have a middle height or may have an upper opening 2a into which the lower opening 1b of the shower hose storage section 1 can be inserted for a predetermined length.

Further, a window 7 may be provided in the saucer portion 2 so that the amount of water inside the tray portion 2 can be visually observed.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing the shower hose waterproofing device 20 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 installed in the washbasin cabinet 5. In this case, the tray part 2 is not fixed to the washstand cabinet 5 in any way so that it can be easily removed by opening the washstand cabinet 5 and disposed of, such as discarding the water accumulated therein. If necessary, the height and other positions of the tray portion 2 may be adjusted separately using a stand 8 or the like.

(Operation of the Invention) When the on-off valve 9 is opened and the shower equipment 20 is used, water is vigorously jetted out from the shower head 10, but the water flows down the shower hose 3 and the shower hose 3 on the top surface of the washbasin 5.
and a connecting portion 11 from which the shower hose 3 is pulled out.
It enters the inside of the washbasin cabinet 5 through the gap between the two. This gap is required between the shower hose 3 and the connecting portion 11 so that its length can be adjusted and it can be easily pulled out from the washbasin cabinet 5.

Shower head 1 with hands that have detergent (not just water)
0, this detergent liquid will also infiltrate into the interior of the washbasin cabinet 5 through the gap in the connecting portion 11.

However, all of the water, detergent liquid, etc. that has passed through the shower hose 3 is once received in the shower hose storage section 1, and then the lower surface opening 1b
The particles fall into the tray section 2 installed below and accumulate in the tray section 2.

Therefore, water never accumulates in the shower hose storage section 1, so the stored shower hose 3 is always well drained.
It is very hygienic as there is no mold or slimy appearance.

This tray part 2 is constructed separately from the shower hose storage part 1, and in this embodiment, it is installed so that it can be taken out from the washbasin cabinet 5. Therefore, only this tray part 2 can be taken out after a shower, etc. You can easily discard water etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, if this saucer part 2 has a window 7 that allows you to visually see the inside, it will be easier to observe the amount of accumulated water, etc., and unexpectedly more water will accumulate in the saucer part 2 and overflow. There is no need to worry.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a separate outlet 2b may be provided in the saucer portion 2 so that this outlet 2b can communicate with the drain pipe 12 of the washbasin case 6.
In this case, water and the like that run down from the shower hose 3 are directly discharged to the outside from the drain pipe 12, so there is no need to take out the saucer section 2, and no odor accumulates.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention is a shower hose waterproofing device that can prevent water from entering the washbasin cabinet, and the shower hose storage section and the saucer section are configured separately. So,
The shower hose storage section always drains well and is sanitary because the stored shower hose is not soaked in accumulated water. Therefore, according to this waterproofing device for shower equipment, (a) Since the shower hose storage part is funnel-shaped, narrowing toward the bottom surface, the shower hose does not protrude further downward from the bottom opening; The shower hose will never enter a reservoir containing waste water. Therefore, the shower hose is not contaminated again by the sewage in the water storage section, and sanitary conditions can be maintained.

(b) Since the shower hose and the water storage section are always isolated by the funnel-shaped bottom opening in the shower hose storage section, the shower hose drains easily and can be maintained in sanitary conditions. .

It is.

The washbasin is equipped with an excellent waterproof device that allows you to easily dispose of accumulated water from the convenient saucer without having to take out the shower hose storage or remove the cap at the bottom of this storage. It provides a platform.
