A bowl cover 4, which is gently curved and formed of synthetic resin, is attached to the front side of the wash-basin 3 that greatly extends in front of the wash-basin 3 to hide the gap between the curtain plate 5 of the cabinet 2 and the wash-basin 3. It is configured to improve the property and prevent the water flowing along the wash bowl 3 from flowing into the cabinet 2.

The washbasin 1A shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is mounted with the front surface 3a of the washbasin 3 attached to the upper part of the cabinet 2 protruding further forward than the front surface of the cabinet 2. The second example of the conventional wash basin is shown. In this example, unlike the first example, the front side 3a of the wash basin 3 is gently curved without using a bowl cover. A step portion 3d is formed between the lower edge portion 3b of the front surface side 3a and the wash bowl bottom portion 3c, and the appearance is improved by fitting the curtain plate 5 on the step portion 3d, and the wash bowl 3 is transmitted. It was configured to prevent the flowing water from flowing into the inside of the cabinet 2.

By the way, in the structures of the wash bowl 3 according to the above-mentioned first and second conventional examples, the bowl cover 4 is used.
Since the front part 3a of the washbasin 3 and the washbasin 3 are gently curved, the curtain plate 5 must be arranged between the opening / closing door 6 of the cabinet 2 and the washbasin 3, and as a result, There is a problem in that the number of parts of the cabinet 2 to which the seed washing bowl 3 is attached increases and the cost of mounting the curtain plate 5 increases, resulting in an increase in cost. Such a problem requires the bowl cover 4 in addition to the curtain plate 5 in the first example of the related art, and thus the number of parts and the number of mounting steps are further increased, and the cost and complexity are increased.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is a state in which a front surface of a bowl attached to the upper part of the cabinet is projected more forward than the front surface of the cabinet. The lower part of the bowl apron part of the bowl that is attached with the above is extended to a little above the upper side of the opening / closing door of the cabinet, and the part that should be covered with the conventional curtain is hidden by the bowl apron part. It is possible to eliminate costs by reducing the number of parts and cabinet assembly work by eliminating the curtain plate, and the bowl apron is extended to the upper side of the open / close door, resulting in excellent integration and improved appearance. In addition, it is intended to provide a bowl structure that can achieve high cleaning efficiency.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a curved bowl apron portion is attached to an upper portion of the cabinet so as to project more forward than a front portion of the cabinet. The structure of the bowl is characterized in that the lower edge portion of the bowl apron portion is extended to slightly above the upper side of the opening / closing door of the cabinet.
