Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom counter mounting structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bathroom units have been installed in apartment houses and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the bathroom unit 1 is provided with a waterproof pan 2 having a washing space, a bathtub 3 which is integral with the waterproof pan 2 or is a separate body, and stands upright at the peripheral edge of the waterproof pan 2. It is composed of a wall panel 4 surrounding the waterproof pan 2 and the bathtub 3 and provided upright, and a ceiling panel (not shown) covering the upper opening formed by these wall panels 4. Further, a bathroom counter 5 provided with a faucet metal fitting 6 is attached to one wall panel 4 from the washing place to the bathtub 3 so that hot water can be supplied to the washing place and the bathtub 3. The bathroom counter 5 has an apron 51 which is vertically hung up to the floor of the washing floor, covering a support member (not shown) fixed to the wall panel 4 and a hot water supply pipe to which the faucet metal fitting 6 is connected.
And a counter top plate 52 which is located above the apron 51 and is attached to a support member and on which bath products such as shampoo can be placed (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-19684).

[0003]

By the way, the apron which constitutes the above-mentioned bathroom counter is hung down to the floor surface of the washing room and fixed by being sandwiched between the support member and the faucet metal fitting. Therefore, it is not possible to clean the washing area on the back side of the apron, which is unsanitary. In addition, when hot water is supplied from the faucet fitting, there is a problem in that an unnatural posture is forced because the toes hit the apron.

In this case, it is conceivable that the apron is shortened without hanging down to the floor surface of the washing room and a space below the floor surface of the apron is formed between the apron and the floor surface of the washing room. However, there is a possibility of putting your hand on the back side of the apron, which is a safety hazard. Further, when mounting the apron, it is necessary to fix the apron together with the faucet metal fitting while supporting it in accordance with the mounting position on the support member, which complicates the work and makes it difficult for one person to mount the apron.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a bathroom counter structure which is capable of supplying hot water in a natural posture while ensuring safety, and at the same time, can be easily attached. .

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a decorative cover which is provided along one wall panel which constitutes a bathroom unit, and which is formed in a substantially hat-shaped cross section and covers the piping box, and an upper surface of the decorative cover. It consists of a makeup counter arranged, and a fixing bracket having a holding section is provided on one wall panel, and the upper edge of the makeup cover is inserted and held in the holding section of the fixing bracket, and its lower flange is attached to the one wall. It is characterized by being screwed to the panel.

[0007]

The fixing metal fitting is attached to one wall panel, and the upper edge of the decorative cover is inserted into and held by the holding portion of the fixing metal fitting while the lower flange is screwed to the one wall panel.

As a result, the decorative cover can be temporarily held, so that the decorative cover can be easily screwed, and the decorative cover can be put in the toes between the decorative cover and the floor surface without opening the lower part. It becomes possible to form a space, ensuring safety and at the same time supplying hot water from the faucet fitting in a comfortable posture.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

For the sake of convenience of explanation, the same members as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication.

FIG. 1 shows a bathroom counter 10 of the present invention. The bathroom counter 10 is provided with a decorative cover 12 for covering a piping box 11 for hot and cold water supply piping, and an upper surface of the decorative cover 12. It consists of a makeup counter 13. Then, the decorative cover 12 has an upper surface portion 121 having a notch (not shown) for projecting the piping box 11 upward, and is hung downward from one end of the upper surface portion 121 to attach the faucet metal fitting 6. Front portion 122 having a hole (not shown) for forming, a lower surface portion 123 extending inward from the lower end of the front surface portion 122, and upper and lower portions from the other ends of the above-described upper surface portion 121 and lower surface portion 123, respectively. An upper flange 12u and a lower flange 12d that extend and can contact the one wall panel 4 are integrally formed, and are formed in a hat shape in cross section as a whole.

As will be described later, this decorative cover 1
When 2 is attached to the one wall panel 4, a certain space is formed between the lower surface portion 123 and the floor surface of the washroom into which the feet can be put.

On the other hand, one wall panel 4 has a decorative cover 1
Fixing metal fittings 14 are provided for holding 2. The fixing metal fitting 14 is an upper flange 12 of the decorative cover 12.
A holding part 141 that holds in while guiding u, a mounting part 142 to the one wall panel 4, and a mounting part 1 for the makeup counter 13.
Therefore, when the upper flange 12u of the decorative cover 12 is inserted into the holding portion 141, the spring force of the upper flange 12u of the decorative cover 12 causes the upper flange 12 of the decorative cover 12 to be held.
It is possible to prevent the u from coming off, that is, the makeup cover 12 from falling off. Further, the mounting portion 143 supports the makeup counter 13 together with the piping box 11.

Therefore, when fixing the bathroom counter 10 to one wall panel 4, after fixing the piping box 11 of the hot water supply pipe not shown to the wall panel 4, the fixing metal fitting 14 is fitted to the mounting position of the decorative cover 12. Is attached to the one wall panel 4 by screwing a screw into the attachment portion 142. Next, after the makeup counter 13 is placed across the piping box 10 and the placement portion 143 of the fixing bracket 14, the makeup cover 12 is attached. That is, the upper flange 12 u of the decorative cover 12 is held by the holding portion 1 of the fixing bracket 14.
41 to prevent the decorative cover 12 from falling off, and in this state, screws are screwed into the lower flange 12d and fixed to the one wall panel 4. After this, the makeup cover 12
The bathroom counter 10 can be formed by connecting the faucet metal fitting 6 to the front part 122 of the.

As described above, since the decorative cover 12 can be temporarily held when the decorative cover 12 is attached, the decorative cover 12 can be easily screwed. Further, the makeup cover 12 has a space in which the toes can be put between the makeup cover 12 and the floor surface of the washroom without opening the lower part thereof, so that safety is ensured and at the same time, the faucet metal fitting is kept in a comfortable posture. In addition to being able to supply hot water and water, it is possible to clean the washing area to the corner.

In this embodiment, the fixing metal fitting 1
4 is composed of a holding portion 141, a mounting portion 142, and a mounting portion 143, and an example in which the upper flange 12u of the decorative cover 12 is temporarily held by being inserted into the holding portion 141 from below is shown, but not necessarily. It is not necessary to provide a mounting part. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixing bracket 14 is configured by the holding portion 141 and the mounting portion 142, and the edge portion of the upper surface portion 121 is directly held by the holding portion 141 without forming the upper flange 12u of the decorative cover 12. You may make it hold | maintain the makeup cover 12 by inserting it in.
