Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Make sure that a thin box-like scale such as a bath changing room or washroom does not get in the way when not in use. [Structure] A recess for accommodating the scale is formed at the lower edge of the wall, and one end of the scale is pivotally attached to the lower part of the recess for accommodating the scale so that the scale can be rotated in the vertical direction. A thin box-shaped scale, characterized in that the scale is sometimes stored in the recess for storing the scale so that the scale can be extended onto the floor when in use.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a thin box-shaped scale used in a bath changing room, a washroom, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A thin box-shaped scale is generally used by placing it on the floor of a bath changing room or washroom.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 A thin box-shaped scale placed on the floor of a bath changing room or washroom is an obstacle when not in use. For example, when cleaning the floor of a dressing room, washroom, etc. where a thin box-shaped scale is placed, this scale interferes and must be moved. On the other hand, since a thin box-shaped scale is relatively heavy, it is troublesome to store it in a storage means such as a shelf when not in use. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms a scale accommodating recess at the lower edge of the wall, and the scale is vertically movable below the scale accommodating recess. A thin box-shaped scale, characterized in that one end of the scale is pivotally attached, the scale is stored in the scale storage recess when not in use, and the scale can be extended onto the floor surface when used. Is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 When not in use, the scale according to the present invention is rotated and stored in a scale storage recess formed at the lower edge of the wall. Therefore, the scale does not interfere with floor cleaning, walking, etc. When using the scale, rotate the scale stored in the recess for storing the scale downward and extend it out of the recess for storing the scale so that the bottom of the scale contacts the floor surface. In this state, the scale of the present invention can be used for measuring weight in the same manner as a normal scale. After use, the scale of the present invention is rotated upward and stored in the scale storage recess at the lower edge of the wall.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a wall and 2 is a floor. At the lower edge of the wall 1, a weight scale storage recess 4 for storing a thin box-shaped weight scale 3 is formed. The lower end of the recess 4 for housing the scale in the illustrated example faces the floor 2. It is preferable that the weight scale accommodating concave portion 4 is formed such that the bottom surface 3 ′ of the weight scale 3 is flush with the surface of the wall 1 when the weight scale 3 is stored. One end of the weight scale 3 is pivotally attached to the lower portion of the weight scale storage recess 4 so that the weight scale 3 can be vertically rotated, and the weight scale 3 is stored in the weight scale storage recess 4 when not in use. However, the weight scale 3 should be able to be extended onto the floor 2 when it is used. That is, as an example, shafts 5 and 5 are provided on both sides of the front end of the scale 3, and bearing holes 6 and 6 are formed on both sides of the lower portion of the recess 4 for storing the scale. The bearings 7, 7 are fitted in the bearings 7, 7 and the shafts 5, 5 of the weight scale 3 are rotatably fitted in the bearings 7, 7. In the illustrated case, a handle 8 is provided on the rear surface of the rear end of the scale 3 so as to project therefrom. The handle 8 is designed to be held by a finger when the weight scale 3 stored in the weight scale storage recess 4 is extended onto the floor 2 surface. When this happens, the handle 8 contacts the floor 2 surface.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, one end of the scale is pivotally attached to the lower part of the scale storage recess formed at the lower edge of the wall so that the scale can be rotated in the vertical direction. When not in use, the scale can be rotated upward and stored in the scale storage recess. In this way, the scale stored in the scale storage recess does not interfere with floor cleaning, walking, etc. On the other hand, when using the scale, the scale stored in the recess for storing the scale may be rotated downward and extended from the recess for storing the scale to the floor surface. As described above, the present invention has a great practical effect.
