Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a fixing structure for fixing a hygiene such as a washbasin, a handwasher, a kitchen sink or a kitchen equipment container to a counter.

(Problems to be Solved by Conventional Techniques and Inventions) As a method of attaching a wash basin to a counter, as shown in FIG. 6, the wash basin is fitted into an opening 102 of the counter 100, and a flange 104 at the outer peripheral edge of the upper end. There is an over-counter system in which the counter is mounted on the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the opening of the counter 100.

By the way, when attaching the washbasin 106 to the counter 100, the washbasin 106 is simply fitted into the opening 102 of the counter 100 without being fixed, and the flange 10 is attached.
4 may be simply placed on the counter 100. In this case, if the washbasin 106 is made of sheet metal, the flange 1
There is a problem that 04 does not sufficiently adhere to the upper surface of the counter 100 while being wavy. If the basin 106 is simply placed on the counter 100, the basin 1
If the elbow or the like is used when using the 06, the washbasin 106 will rattle.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the washbasin 106
There is also a problem that the water pressure rises due to the water supply pressure.

Generally, in the drain pipe connection part or the faucet connection part of the washbasin 106, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, one pipe 108, 112 is simply connected to the other pipe 110,
They are simply water-tightly inserted into 114, and both can move relative to each other in the axial direction (to absorb the mounting position error of the washbasin 106). Therefore, the washbasin 106 is not particularly fixed. In this case, the washbasin 106 itself is lifted by the water supply pressure via the water faucet 114 fixed to the washbasin 106.

Therefore, in the case of a washbasin made of sheet metal, as shown in FIG. 10, the earpieces 116 having a U-shaped cross section are welded at appropriate intervals along the circumferential direction of the back surface of the washbasin 106, and the fixing bracket 1
18 and hook the fixing bracket 118 to the bolt 1
It is fixed to the lower surface of the counter 100 by 20.

However, this requires a large number of ear pieces 116, fixing brackets 118, bolts 120, etc.
16 is welded to the washbasin 106, the fixing bracket 118 is hooked to the earpiece 116, and the counter 1 is fixed with the bolt 120.
Therefore, the work of fixing the washbasin 106 becomes troublesome.

On the other hand, in the case of a pottery washbasin, as shown in FIG. 11, a hollow metal fitting retaining portion 122 is integrally formed on the lower surface side of the flange 104, and a plurality of retaining holes 124 are formed therein. The holes 124 are formed at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction, and the hook holes 124 are formed.
A fixing metal fitting 126 is hooked on and fixed to the lower surface of the counter 100 with a bolt 128.

In this case, unlike the case of the above-described sheet metal washbasin, it is not necessary to attach the ear piece 116 by welding, but the metal fitting hooking portion 122 has a double structure and becomes complicated in shape, and that portion at the time of manufacturing. Easily cracks. In addition, hook hole 12
As well as the case of the above-mentioned washbasin made of sheet metal, there is a problem that the fixing work using the fixing metal fittings 126 and the bolts 128 is troublesome in addition to the need for secondary processing for opening 4.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The fixing structure of the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and the gist thereof is a basin having a flange on the outer peripheral edge of the container body, a hand-washing device. A structure for fitting a sanitary container such as a container or a sink or a kitchen equipment container into an opening of a counter and fixing the flange on the peripheral edge of the opening of the counter. While fixing the fixture provided with the portion to the rear side of the container and the portion provided with the drain port in a state where the conduit is passed through the hole, the end of the fixture is pressed by the pressing tool to the lower surface of the counter. The container is pressed in a direction away from the container so that the flange of the container is fixed so as to be pressed against the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the opening of the counter.

(Operation and Effect of Invention) In the fixing structure of the present invention, when the end of the fixing metal fitting is pressed by the pressing tool in the direction away from the lower surface of the counter, the sanitary or kitchen equipment container such as a washbasin (hereinafter simply referred to as "washer") is pressed through the fixing metal fitting. The drain portion of the washbasin, etc.) is pressed downward.
Since this drain port is provided in the center of the washbasin, the pressing force is evenly distributed over the entire washbasin, and therefore the flange at the outer peripheral edge of the upper end is evenly distributed over the upper surface of the counter. It is pressed firmly and firmly fixed. Therefore, even in the case of a washbasin made of sheet metal or the like, the flange comes into close contact with the upper surface of the counter without a gap, and the washbasin does not rattle even if an elbow or the like is attached when the washbasin is used.

Further, according to the present invention, since the washbasin can be fixed by a single fixing fitting, the number of parts is reduced and the fixing work is simplified.

Furthermore, in the case of a ceramic basin, it is not necessary to form a bag-like double-structured metal fitting hooking portion, so cracks will occur from the same portion during manufacturing (molding / drying / firing). Can also be resolved.

(Example) Next, the Example of this invention is described in detail based on drawing.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a washbasin having a flange 14 at the outer peripheral edge of the upper end thereof, and a water faucet 16 fixedly mounted on the upper surface thereof.

A counter 18 has an opening 20 and the opening 20
The washbasin 10 is fitted inside, and the flange 14 is fixed by the fixing metal fitting 22 in a state of being in close contact with the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the opening of the counter 18.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixing member 22 is a member having a horizontally long rectangular planar shape and a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a pair of curved pieces 24 and a flat plate 26 are welded to each other. Then, the ribs 28 are reinforced by ribs 28. The fixing metal fitting 22 has a through hole 30 in the central portion and female screw holes 32 in the bent portions 31 at both ends, and a bolt 34 (FIG. 1) is screwed therein.

As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing metal fitting 22 is attached to the washbasin 10 below the drain port portion 36 projecting to the back side at the center of the washbasin 10. The fixing structure is shown in detail in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the drainage fitting 38 fitted from above to the discharge opening 36 is inserted into the through hole 30 of the fixing fitting 22, and the male screw 40 formed in the lower portion of the drainage fitting 38. The tightening nut 42 is screwed in, and the fixing metal fitting 22 is fixed to the washbasin 10 via the packings 44 and 45. A drain pipe 48 is connected to the lower end of the drain fitting 38 with a cap nut 52 via a packing 50.

Next, the procedure for attaching the fixing bracket 22 and the procedure for fixing the washbasin 10 of this example will be described.

First, the drain outlet fitting 38 is fitted into the drain outlet portion 36 from the inner surface side of the washbasin 10 and is inserted into the through hole 30 at the center of the fixing fitting 22, and the tightening nut 42 is attached to the drain fitting 38. Screw the fixing bracket 22 into the packing 4
It is attached to the washbasin 10 via 4, 45, and then the drainage pipe 48 is connected to the drainage fitting 38.

On the other hand, bolts 34 are screwed in advance on both ends of the fixing member 22, and the bolts 34 are tightened so that the tip ends are abutted against the lower surface of the counter 18 via the contact members 54. If the bolt 34 is further tightened in this state, the fixing metal fitting 22 is pressed downward, and the entire washbasin 10 is also pressed together, and the flange 14 at the outer peripheral edge of the upper end is strongly seated and fixed on the upper surface of the counter 18. It

Thus, according to the fixing structure of this example, the washbasin 10 can be fixed to the counter 18 by an extremely simple operation. Further, since the basin 10 itself does not need to be specially formed with a hooking portion for hooking the fixing metal fitting 22, the structure of the basin 10 is not particularly complicated, and it is necessary to provide a hooking portion. No subsequent processing is required.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention can be configured in other forms.

For example, the fixing structure of the fixing bracket 22 to the washbasin 10 is merely an example of the present invention, and in the present invention,
The washbasin 10 may be provided with a threaded portion and the fixing metal fitting may be screwed therein. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, instead of directly fixing the fixing metal fitting 22 to the drainage fitting 54, the drain fitting The fixing metal fitting 22 can be fixed to the washbasin 10 or the like in various forms, such as fixing the fixing metal fitting 22 to the intermediate metal fitting 56 connecting the drain 54 and the drain pipe 48.

Further, the fixing metal fittings and the wash basin may be in other forms, and the present invention can be applied when fixing a hand wash basin other than the wash basin, a kitchen sink, etc. to the counter. It can be configured in a form in which various changes are made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
