Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to aquariums such as sinks, washbowls, bathtubs, etc., and in particular improves the mounting structure of the overflow drain pipe connected to the overflow drain provided in the aquarium body.

The conventional method of installing an overflow drain pipe in an aquarium is to use a thick wall structure around the overflow drain port of the aquarium body, and attach the upstream end of the overflow drain pipe to a thick wall structure.
It can be installed around thick overflow drains using screwed mounting brackets, or around overflow drains.
An auxiliary mounting plate is brought into contact with the front side, and the auxiliary mounting plate and the mounting bracket located on the back side are screwed together across the aquarium body, and the overflow drain pipe is attached using the mounting bracket.

However, a structure in which the area around the overflow drain port is thick is not suitable when the aquarium is molded using a sheet molding compound method, and a structure in which the auxiliary mounting plate is attached around the overflow drain port also involves drilling screw holes in the aquarium body. The installation process is complicated, and the auxiliary mounting plate is located on the front side of the tank body.

This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a water tank with a simple structure to which an overflow drain pipe can be attached.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In the illustrated embodiment, this invention is applied to a washbowl molded from fiber-reinforced plastics.
and a drain port 22 are provided, and an overflow drain port 2 is provided.
On the back surface 2a of the bowl main body 2, which is close to the bowl body 2, there is integrally formed a mounting piece 23, 23 that connects the upstream end 31 of the overflow drain pipe 3, which is widened toward the overflow drain port 21 side.

The mounting pieces 23, 23 are opposed to each other with the overflow drain port 21 in between, and integrally protrude from the back surface of the bowl body 2 in the vertical direction. Overflow drain port 21
installed to connect with.

The upstream end 31 of the overflow drain pipe 3 contacts the overflow drain port 21 from the back side via the watertight packing 4, and the small holes 23a, 23a bored in the mounting pieces 23. Both ends 51, 51 of the mounting bracket 5 bent to the upstream end portion 31 are inserted and locked, and screw holes 51a, 5 provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 5 are inserted.
The upstream end 31 of the overflow drain pipe 3 is connected to the overflow drain port 2 by screwing the screw 52 that comes into contact with the back surface of the upstream end 31 into 1a and adjusting the screw 52.
1 side, and is connected to the overflow drain port 21 in a watertight state.

As mentioned above, according to this invention, a mounting piece is integrally protruded from the back side around the overflow drain provided on the main body of the aquarium used as a sink, washbowl, bathtub, etc. The overflow drain pipe can be easily installed through this mounting piece, and there is no need to make the wall thicker only around the overflow drain port or install an auxiliary installation plate from the surface around the overflow drain port, unlike conventional methods. It is sufficient if a mounting piece is integrally formed on the back side of the aquarium body around the overflow drain port and is integrally formed with the aquarium body, and has practical value as an aquarium equipped with an overflow drain port.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In aquariums such as sinks, washbowls, bathtubs, etc. made of fiber-reinforced plastics, in which an overflow drain is provided in the aquarium body, there is a pair of aquariums located on the back side of the aquarium body around the overflow drain port, facing each other across the overflow drain port. A mounting piece is formed integrally with the aquarium body in the vertical direction, and an upstream end portion of the overflow drain pipe that is widened toward the overflow drain port is disposed between the mounting pieces, and a mounting bracket that engages with both the mounting pieces. The aquarium is characterized in that it is provided with a screw that can be screwed into contact with the back surface of the upstream end and presses toward the aquarium main body.
