Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the connection work between a water supply fitting and a pipe by a method wherein an opening that faces a water supply connector and penetrates a back guard of a washstand is provided in a building wall and the water supply fitting is connected through the opening. CONSTITUTION:A pipe 45 is buried in a building wall 42 facing an installation space of a vanity cabinet of a building 41. A water supply fitting connector 46 is connected to the end of the pipe 45 with a connection opening end 46a directed forward and aligned with an opening provided in the building wall 42. In addition, the connection open end 46a is kept from protruding forward from the building wall 42. A washstand is mounted in a vanity cabinet installation space so that the water supply fitting connector 46 faces a slot 16 and comes in contact with the building wall 42. A connection pipe 34 of a mixing faucet 33 is connected to the water supply fitting connector 46 through an opening 18 of a cover plate 19 attached on a main body 17. Then, the opening 18 is shielded by a decoration flange 36 that is previously put on the connection pipe 34. The connection work between the water supply fitting and the pipe 4 can be easily done because the connection is does not need to be done in a narrow storage space beneath a washbowl.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an installation structure for a cabinet with an aquarium such as a vanity and a sink, and an installation method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the followings are known as a vanity which is one of cabinets with a water tank. That is, a wash basin having a wash basin, a mirror cabinet having mirrors, article storage shelves, etc. provided at a rear side edge of the wash basin, and a water supply tool provided on the top of the wash basin (this specification The water supply tool has a fluid opening / closing / discharging function, such as a plug for water, hot water, or a mixture of hot and cold water, and a fluid discharge tool having a plug for water, hot water, or a mixture of hot and cold water and a discharge head. It is known to refer to all known devices).

[0003]

Conventional Installation Method of Bathroom Vanity The conventional installation of toilet vanity has been performed as follows. That is, after projecting the ends of the pipes embedded in the side wall of the building facing the space for installing the vanity of the building from the side wall of the building, these pipes are passed through the openings formed on the back surface of the cabinet part of the sink to make the sink stand. While introducing it into the article storage space below the washbasin,
The wash basin was installed in the installation space, and then the worker went into the narrow article storage space below the wash bowl to connect the water supply tool and the pipe.

[0004]

Disadvantages of the Prior Art The conventional vanity has the following drawbacks. That is, when installing a conventional vanity, the work of installing the vanity into the installation space while guiding the pipe into the article storage space below the wash ball, and the worker diving into the narrow article storage space below the wash ball. However, there was a drawback that the work of connecting the water supply tool and the pipe was rather difficult and time-consuming. The conventional sink has the same drawbacks as the vanity.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Disadvantages] The present invention employs the following means in order to eliminate the above disadvantages. According to the invention of claim 1, a cabinet with a water tank having a back guard is installed in a cabinet installation space of a building so as to hit a side wall of the building, and an opening penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the back guard of the cabinet with a water tank. The water supply fitting is provided on the side wall of the building so that the connection opening end faces the opening, and the water supply is connected to the water supply fitting through the opening.

[0006]

The invention of claim 1 has the following effects. In the upper part of the cabinet with a water tank, it is possible to connect the water supply tool and the pipe, that is,
Since it is not necessary to connect the water supply tool and the pipe in the narrow article storage space below the water tank, the connection work between the water supply tool and the pipe can be easily performed.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the front means the front side of FIG. 1, the rear means the back side, the left means the left side of FIG. 1, and the right means the right side of FIG.

The vanity table 1 has a vanity table 3 and a mirror cabinet 21 which is provided upright on the rear side edge of the vanity table 3 and has a mirror and an article rack.

The wash basin 3 is provided below the top plate 9 so as to form a back guard 7 (a rising wall at the rear edge) and a wash ball 8 and an article storage space below the top plate 9. And a cabinet portion 13.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the back guard 7 has a main body 17 integrally formed with a top plate 9 having a long hole 16 penetrating in the front-rear direction and extending in the left-right direction.
Has a closing plate 19 that closes the elongated hole 16 and can be repositioned in a predetermined range in an arbitrary direction within an imaginary vertical plane, and an opening 18 penetrating in the front-back direction is formed in the closing plate 19. There is. A protrusion 19a is provided on the rear surface of the closing plate 19, and the protrusion 19a is a recess 17a formed in the main body 17.
Further, it is fitted so as to form a gap at the entire peripheral edge portion.

The vanity 1 is installed so as to abut a side wall 42 of the building 41 facing a vanity installation space 43 (see FIG. 1) of the building 41. The mirror cabinet 21 is fixed to a building side wall 42.

A pipe 45 for hot water and a pipe 45 for water are embedded in the side wall 42 of the building so that the connection opening end 46a is exposed to the front at the ends of these pipes 45. A publicly known water supply tool connector 46 such as an elbow having an internal thread on the inner peripheral surface of the connection portion is provided such that 46 a faces the opening 18. Connection pipe part 34 for hot and cold water having a male screw on the outer peripheral surface of the hot and cold water mixing faucet 33 (rotatable to a free end of a rocking pipe 35 provided on the main body of the hot and cold water mixing faucet 33 so as to be horizontally swingable) Is connected to the water supply tool connector 46 through the opening 18 of the closing plate 19. Then, the opening 18 is hidden by the decorative collar 36 that is screwed into the connecting pipe portion 34 in advance. The opening 18 is formed to be slightly larger than the connecting pipe portion 34, and absorbs an error in the vertical and horizontal positions of the left and right water supply device connecting tools 46, so that the connecting pipe portion 34 is connected. It can be connected to 46. In addition, the closing plate 19 is the main body 1
Since the position can be freely changed with respect to 7, the water supply tool connector 46
The position of the washbasin 3 can be finely adjusted based on the position (position of the hot and cold water mixing faucet 33) as a reference (fixed position). A shower head 37 is connected to the hot and cold water mixing faucet 33 through a flexible pipe 38. The shower head 37 is detachably held by a holder 39 provided on the mirror cabinet 21. As is apparent from the above description, the hot and cold water mixing faucet 33 and the shower head 37 constitute the water supply tool 31.
