Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to furniture such as a washstand with an improved door structure.

In furniture such as washstands, water is often used when washing the face or brushing teeth, or when reflecting one's face in a mirror.

These operations are performed on the top of the table that makes up the furniture, and the height of the table is constant and is made to match the average height of an adult.

Therefore, when used by an adult, there is no problem, but when used by a short person, especially a child, it is very difficult to operate.

Therefore, I often carry a step stool and stand on it each time I use it, but it is not only troublesome to carry, but also
If you leave it as is, it will become a nuisance for other people to work on.

The present invention was developed in light of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide furniture such as a washstand that is easy to use even for short children by using a door that opens and closes the storage room. This is what I am trying to do.

An embodiment of the present invention will be applied to a vanity washstand and will be described below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a cabinet-shaped furniture body, and a decorative top plate 2 is mounted on the upper surface of the furniture body.

A water tank 3 is integrally provided approximately at the center of the decorative top plate 2, and a hot water/water tap (not shown) is attached thereto.

Further, a makeup mirror 4 is provided upright along the back end of the makeup top plate 2, and an illumination section 5 for accommodating an illumination light (not shown) is provided above the makeup mirror 4.

On the other hand, a riser 6 is provided at the bottom of the furniture body 1, and a storage chamber 7 having an opening on the front surface is provided between the riser 6 and the decorative top plate 2.

A door body 8 is pivotally attached to the front opening of the storage chamber 7.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower end of the door body 8 is provided in the storage chamber 7 via a hinge 9, with the lower end being the fulcrum side and the upper end being the rotating side.

A pair of handles 10.degree. 10 are provided on the front side of the door body 8 and are bent into a substantially U-shape.

The protruding length 1) of these handles 10, 10 from the door body 8 is approximately the same as the height dimension (h) of the riser 6.

A non-slip plate 11, such as a rubber mat, is provided on the back side of the door body 8.

However, when using the aquarium 3 or makeup mirror 4,
This is done with the door body 8 in the closed state, and in order to take things in and out of the storage chamber 7, it is sufficient to open and close the door body 8.

If the door is used by a person of short stature such as a child, the door body 8 is opened as shown in FIG. 2, and the handles 10 are brought into contact with the floor.

Since the protruding length 1) of the handle 10.10 is approximately the same as the height of the riser 6, the door body 8 is approximately horizontal.

Therefore, the handles 10, 10 serve as supporting legs, and the door body 8 constitutes a step stool, on which work such as washing the toilet is possible.

In the above embodiment, the door body 8 has a pair of handles 10.1.
0 is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

That is, a handle 10a is provided in the upper end of the door body 8 in the horizontal direction.

This handle 10a is bent into a substantially U-shape in the width direction of the door body 8, and its protruding length 1) is the same as the height dimension (h) of the riser 6.

The handle 10a can hang, for example, a towel or the like, and when the door body 8 is opened, it can serve as a supporting leg to form a step stool, similar to the above embodiment.

(Note that the same parts as in the above embodiment are given the same numbers and the explanation is omitted.

) Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the furniture was applied to a vanity sink, but the present invention can also be applied to other furniture, such as a sink used in a kitchen.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a handle for opening/closing is provided on the door that is pivotally connected to the opening of the storage chamber via a hinge, and when the door is opened, the handle becomes a supporting leg. The door body can be configured as a step stool.

Therefore, there is no need to prepare a separate step stool as in the past, and even short people can easily use it, resulting in improved usability.
