Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a multi-purpose counter that can be used for multiple purposes such as a wash basin and a sink.

[Prior Art] Sanitary ware such as washbasins or cleaning sinks are generally installed in washrooms or toilet rooms.

Incidentally, washrooms and toilets generally have limited indoor space, and there may not be enough space to install multiple types of washbasins, sinks, and the like.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] These wash basins and cleaning sinks each have their own unique functions, and a wash basin is used for washing the face, while a large sink is suitable for cleaning or washing hair. . Therefore, even if the space is limited, it is desirable to install multiple types of sinks, such as wash basins and cleaning sinks.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The multi-purpose counter according to claim 1 is a counter having a sink, in which the cover is horizontally rotatable so that it can take a position covering the sink and a position retracted from the sink. A washbasin is attached to the cover, and an opening is formed on the front edge side of the sink through which the washbasin can pass.

The multi-purpose counter according to claim 2 is a counter having a sink, and the cover is provided so as to be horizontally rotatable so that it can take a position covering the sink and a position retracted from the sink, and when the cover is in a position covering the counter. The feature is that an opening large enough to allow the sink to be used is provided in a portion located above the sink.

[Function] According to the multi-purpose counter of claim 1, by placing the cover in a position that covers the sink, the wash basin attached to the cover can be used. Furthermore, by placing the cover in a position away from the sink, the sink can be used directly.

According to the multipurpose counter of claim 2, by placing the cover in a position that covers the sink, the sink can be used through the opening of the cover. Furthermore, by placing the cover in a position away from the sink, the sink can be used directly.

In this way, according to the multipurpose counter of claims 1 and 2, a sink such as a cleaning sink and a wash basin can be installed together in a small space. When the sink is not in use, the cover can be placed on the counter, and the washbasin can be used even in this state. Furthermore, when the cover is placed over the counter in this manner, the space around the counter becomes larger, making it easier to use the washbasin. Furthermore, the interior of the sink can be hidden by the cover to enhance the beauty or cleanliness of the sink.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

A sink 12 consisting of a cleaning sink is provided on a counter 16 fixed to a wall surface 10 together with a faucet fitting 14. A horizontal plate-shaped cover 18 is provided on the counter 16 so as to be horizontally rotatable around a fulcrum metal fitting 20. In order to smooth this horizontal rotation, a plurality of rollers 22 are attached to the back surface of the cover 18, and the counter 1
It is designed to slide on the top surface of 6. Note that this roller 22 includes a fulcrum metal fitting 2 in addition to the roller shown in the figure.
It is also set near 0. Furthermore cover 18
A leg 24 is provided at the free end, and a roller 26 is also provided on the underside of this leg 24. cover 18
A washbasin 28 is attached to the . This washbasin 28 has a cover 18 that rotates horizontally so that the sink 12
The sink 12 is provided at a position where it is placed above the sink 12 when it is in a position to cover the sink 12. Drain port 30 of washbasin 28
A drain pipe 32 is attached to the drain pipe 32. The end of this drain pipe 32 is connected via a pivot joint 34 to a fixed drain pipe 36 on the floor side.

The rotation joint 34 is coaxial with the fulcrum metal fitting 20. Accordingly, when the cover 18 rotates horizontally, the drain pipe 32 horizontally rotates together with the cover 18. Further, an open portion 38 is formed on the front edge side of the sink 12 to prevent the horizontally rotating drain pipe 32 and the lower side of the washbasin 28 from colliding with the sink 12.

By horizontally rotating the cover 18 to the retracted position from the sink 12 (FIG. 1), the sink 1
2 can be used directly. Further, in this state, the cover 18 can also be used as a side table.

In this embodiment, the sink 12 is a large sink, where you can wash your hair, etc.
In this case, since the opening portion 38 is provided at the front edge of the sink, it is easy to insert the upper body of the person washing hair into the sink 12, which is convenient. Of course, this sink 1
2 can be used for purposes other than hair washing. For example, it is also possible to wash large items such as shoes and carpets. You can also wash motsupu and rags when cleaning. Furthermore, if the cover 18 is also provided with a faucet fitting, both the sink 12 and the washbasin 28 can be used in the state shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, by horizontally rotating the cover 18 and placing it in a position that covers the sink 12, the sink 12 can be hidden and only the washbasin 28 can be used. As described above, when the sink 12 is used for washing or cleaning, the inner surface of the sink 12 may become dirty. By hiding such a sink with the cover 18, the aesthetic appearance of the room can be maintained.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the drain pipe 32 on the washbasin 28 side and the drain pipe 40 on the sink 12 side are separate pipes, but in the present invention, both drain pipes 32 and 40 are connected from the middle. It may be branched. Further, although the drain pipe 32 provided on the horizontally rotating cover 18 has a rotary joint 34, it is also possible to omit the movable joint 34 by configuring the drain pipe 32 with a flexible tube. .

Another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. The same parts as in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same numbers.

The difference from the previous embodiment is that a washbasin is not attached to the cover 18 and an opening 42 is provided. This opening 42 is positioned above the sink 12 by horizontal rotation of the cover 18, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 4. In this state shown in FIG. 4, the sink 12 can be used as a washbasin. Note that the size of the opening 42 is the same as that of the sink 1.
The size is set smaller than the size of the top opening of No. 2. Therefore, water splashed from the sink 12 is returned to the edge of the opening 42, and water droplets are prevented from scattering. Further, the inside of the sink, which is dirty due to washing, cleaning, etc., is hidden by the edge of the opening 42.

Note that a skirt portion may be formed on the inner peripheral edge of the opening 42 so as to hang downward. Providing this skirt portion improves the effect of preventing water from scattering and the effect of hiding the inside of the sink.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, there is no need to provide a drain pipe on the cover counter 18 side as in the previous embodiments, and the overall structure is simplified.

Yet another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The same parts as in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same numbers.

The difference from the above two embodiments is that a washbasin 28 is attached to the cover 18, and this washbasin 28 drains waste water into the sink 12.

In the above embodiment, since the cover 18 is horizontally rotatable, the cover counter 1
It is possible to horizontally rotate the container 8 with items such as cosmetic bottles, containers for shampoo or conditioner, and other toiletries placed on top of the container 8. Furthermore, since the cover 18 is moved by horizontal rotation, it can be moved with a small force. In particular, even when the cover is heavy with a washbasin and even a drain pipe attached to it, it can be moved with little force, making it extremely easy to use.

In the present invention, a shower facility for washing hair may be provided at the faucet fitting 14. Furthermore, the sink and washbasin may be made of ceramic and separate from the counter and cover, or may be made of synthetic resin or the like and provided integrally with the counter and cover.

[Effects] As explained above, according to the multipurpose counter of the present invention, one counter can be used as a washbasin counter or a sink counter. Further, when the cover is in the position to cover the sink, only the same space as that required for installing a conventional washbasin counter is required. Therefore, the two of the washbasin and sink
Although it has two purposes, it saves installation space.
