Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a counter installation structure for installing a pair of counters in a butt state.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pair of counters are arranged along orthogonal wall surfaces, and the counters are installed so as to abut each other to form an L-shaped counter.

In this case, usually, each of the pair of counters is supported by a supporting member such as a bracket attached to a wall surface or a base cabinet. At that time, the surfaces of the respective counters are flush with each other. The face-to-face work was troublesome, and the work was a complicated task that required nerves.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention of the present application has been made for the purpose of solving such a problem. Thus, in the invention of the present application, when the pair of counters are installed in the butted state, one of the butted portions of the counters is formed with an engaging projection protruding toward the other counter, and the engaging projections are provided on the other side. The counter is configured to support a corresponding portion of the abutting side end of the counter. (Claim 1).

Another invention of the present application is characterized in that the engaging convex portion is formed on an upper end portion of an apron portion which is lowered at a front end of the counter (claim 2).

[0006]

[Action and effect of the device]

 As described above, in the invention of claim 1, the counters are abutted against each other and installed so that the engagement protrusion formed on one counter supports the corresponding portion of the other counter.

When a pair of counters are installed in a butt state according to the present invention, at least the height of the counter upper surface of the counter part supported by the engaging protrusions is supported by the engaging protrusions. It will be determined by the engagement protrusion.

Therefore, if the engaging protrusions are formed at appropriate height positions in advance, the counters of both counters can be formed by simply butting the pair of counters so that the engaging protrusions support the other counter. The top surface of the can be flush.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the counter can be installed by a simple operation.

According to the invention of claim 2, such an engaging convex portion is formed on the upper end portion of the apron.

Generally, both counters installed in a butt state have the same thickness, and if one of them has an engaging protrusion that supports the other, the engaging protrusion must be formed in a complicated shape. I have no choice.

However, when the engaging protrusion is provided on the upper end of the apron according to the invention of claim 2, the engaging protrusion can be formed in a simple shape. For example, the engaging convex portion can be easily formed by simply making the front upper corner portion of the counter into a notched shape.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows the inside of the unit toilet room. In the figure, 10 is a Western-style toilet, 12 is a waterproof floor pan, and 14 is a wall cabinet provided along the wall.

Reference numerals 22 and 24 denote counters arranged along orthogonal wall surfaces 18 and 20, and the L-shaped counter 16 is configured by connecting the counters 22 and 24 in a butting state with each other. The counter 24 is provided with a washbasin 26.

As shown in FIG. 4, each of the counters 22 and 24 is made up of horizontal counter bodies 32 and 34 and apron portions 36 and 38 that fall from the front ends thereof, as shown in FIG. Are supported by the frame 28 or the base cabinet 30, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1, one counter 22 is notched over a certain range on the front side of the longitudinal end thereof, and a recess 40 is formed therein.

The counter 24 on the other hand has a shape in which the corners of the front end and the upper end are partially cut out obliquely, and the engaging projection 42 is integrally formed on the lower side of the cutout. ing.

As shown in FIG. 3, the counters 22 and 24 are connected and installed in a state where the front end surface of the main body 32 of one counter 22 and the end surface of the other counter 24 on the main body side are butted against each other. Has been done.

Specifically, when the side end portion of the other counter 24 enters the recess 40 of the one counter 22 and the front end surfaces and the side end surfaces of the counter main bodies 32, 34 are brought into contact with each other. In the state where the main body 32 of the one counter 22 is placed on the engaging convex portion 42 of the other counter 24, that is, the state where the main body 32 of the counter 22 is supported by the engaging convex portion 42 (see FIG. 3B), the pair of Counters 22 and 24 are installed.

In this state, the apron portion 38 of the counter 24 partially enters the recess 40 of the counter 22, that is, one counter 22 swallows the apron portion 38 of the other counter 24 in the recess 40. It has a shape.

The end of the recess 40 of the counter 22 has an inclined shape, and the inclined shape portion 44 is matched with the upper inclined shape portion 45 of the engaging convex portion 42.

In this example, the rear end of the counter 24 is adjusted in height by the height adjusting mechanism 46 as shown in FIG. The height adjusting mechanism 46 has an adjusting bolt 50 fixed to the base cabinet 30 via a bracket 48, and a bolt 51 provided downward on the counter 24.

The bolt 51 extends downward through the through hole 52 of the bracket 48, and the lower end of the bolt 51 is supported by the adjusting bolt 50.

In the adjusting mechanism 46, the supporting height of the bolt 51 is adjusted by operating the adjusting bolt 50, and the nut 54 is tightened in this state, so that the counter 24 is fixed to the base cabinet 30.

In the case of the counter installation structure of this example, one counter 24 is placed on the base cabinet 30 and the other counter 22 is placed on the frame 28 as shown in FIG. The counters 22 are installed so as to be placed on the engaging protrusions 42 of the other counter 24.

When the counters 22 and 24 are installed in this way, the height of the upper surface of the counter 22 can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the height position of the engaging convex portion 42 in advance. It can be precisely and easily adjusted to the height of the upper surface, strictly speaking to the height of the upper surface of its front end.

In this example, the height of the rear end of the counter 24 can be adjusted independently by the height adjusting mechanism 46.

By adjusting the height of the rear end portion of the counter 24 by the height adjusting mechanism 46, even if the apron portion 38 of the counter 24 is slightly inclined with respect to the main body 34 thereof, each of the counters 22, It is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the 24 apron portions 36 and 38.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, this is merely an example. For example, the present invention can be applied to a case where a pair of counters are butt-joined at an angle other than the above-mentioned right angle, and the engaging convex portion can be formed on the entire butt portion of the counter in some cases. is there.

Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a counter installed in a space other than the above-mentioned toilet room. The present invention can be applied to various counters based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be configured in a modified form.
