Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention involves filling a mold with a liquid molding material (a mixture of powdered stone and resin such as polyester) called artificial marble, resin concrete, etc., and then hardening it. This invention relates to top plates with aquariums for sinks, washstands, etc. formed by

Since the molding material has a high specific gravity, the molded top plate is heavy and difficult to transport to the installation site.

In order to alleviate this problem, the thickness of the top plate can be reduced by 42 degrees to reduce the weight of the top plate, but if this is done, the strength of the top plate will be reduced. Especially for a top plate with a hole for installing an aquarium, such as a top plate with an aquarium,
When installing an aquarium, the area around the hole becomes weak.

The present invention provides a top plate with an aquarium that not only strengthens the surrounding area of the aquarium, but also uses this to prevent water from splashing from inside the aquarium, and saves on the material used to form the top plate. A detailed description of the present invention is provided below.

In the figure, 1 is a cabinet such as a sink or washstand,
Reference numeral 2 denotes a top plate provided on the cabinet 1, which is formed by curing liquid molding material such as resin concrete.A hole i is drilled for attaching a water tank, and the top plate 2 is provided around this. A reinforcing rib 4 that hangs downward from the back surface is integrally provided around the periphery. Reference numeral 5 denotes a water tank made of a stainless steel plate or the like, and is attached to the back surface of the top plate 2 with its inner surface 6a facing the outer periphery of the rib 4. This attachment may be done by a fixing device (not shown) such as a bolt, but in this embodiment, it is done by a bonding material 6 such as unsaturated polyester, polyurethane, or epoxy.

As mentioned above, the lip 4 is provided around the hole 3 for attaching the aquarium, so that the area around the hole 3 is reinforced and its strength is increased. Also, the outer circumference of the lip 4 and the inner surface 6 of the water tank 5
Since the water tank 6 is attached to the top plate 2 with the two sides facing each other, the lip 4 is positioned protruding from the upper opening of the water tank 6 as shown in Fig. The splashing of water from inside the water tank 6 is prevented as shown by arrow A.

By the way, when attaching the aquarium, the lip 4 provided around the hole 3 is set as follows. That is, the thickness T of the lip 4 at the front side of the water tank 6 is the same as that of the other sides B, O,
Rip 4 plate thickness TB, TO of D part.

The TD is also thickly formed. In other words, the plate thicknesses TB, TO, and TD should be the minimum dimensions necessary to reinforce the area around the hole 3 when installing the water tank, and the plate thickness T should be added to the above to prevent water from splashing back. The dimensions are as follows. In other words, if the purpose of installing the water tank is only to reinforce the area around the hole 3, the plate thickness T should be the same as the other plate thickness TB.

Just like TO and TD, the minimum dimension that can be used for reinforcement may be used. However, this size does not prevent water splashing.

Therefore, in order to satisfy both reinforcement and water/splash prevention, the general idea is to make the total plate thickness T, TB, TO, and Tp as thick as T, but the present inventors I realized that if I did this, the molding material would be wasted and it would be less convenient to use. In other words, a person works while standing in front of the top plate 2, and there is no need for water to splash on the person.
By increasing the thickness of the TO and TD, not only reinforcement and water splash prevention can be achieved, but also the consumption of molding material can be reduced, and the opening area of the hole 3 for installing the water tank can also be increased, making it easier to use. .

As described above, the present invention is capable of reinforcing the area surrounding the hole when installing a particularly weak aquarium, preventing water from splashing back toward the front of the tank, saving molding material, and further improving the ability of the aquarium to be installed at the opening of the hole. It has many effects such as increasing the area and making it easier to use, and its utility value is great.

Claims (1)

[Claims] The water tank can be installed using a top plate made of a molded material such as cash register/concrete, which has ribs that hang downward around the inner periphery of the hole, and a top plate that is mounted on the back of the top plate with the inner surface positioned relative to the outer periphery of the ribs. The ribs are thicker on the front side of the tank, and the other sides are thinner than the front side. Board.
