Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a simple structure of a washing place installed outdoors for washing feet, watering a garden, etc.

This type of washing area, which has a simple structure with a faucet pillar installed in the sink, has been known for a long time, but the conventional ones are used by being installed directly on the ground in gardens, roadsides, etc. If the faucet occupies a relatively large amount of space and is installed close to a residence, water may be splashed onto the exterior walls of the residence when the faucet is opened to discharge tap water.

Additionally, in winter or when there is strong wind, there were problems such as fallen leaves and debris entering the sink and clogging the drain.

However, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a washing area with a simple structure designed to solve these problems.One end of the cover is pivotally attached to the rear end of the sink, and the cover is The washing area is characterized by being opened to an upright position when in use, and closed to be substantially flush when not in use.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The washing area of the present invention is embodied in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

That is, in the one shown in FIG. 1, a cover 2 whose central part is recessed 2a according to the shape of a faucet pillar 4 is attached to the rear end of a box-shaped sink 1 with an open top, and a cover 2 is attached to a known hinge 3. ... etc., and the cover 2 is attached so that it can be opened and closed, and when the faucet 4a of the faucet pillar 4 is opened and the washing area A is used, the cover is attached as shown in Fig. 1. Open the lid 2 in an upright position, and close the lid 2 when the other is not in use.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the cover 2 is placed over the top of the sink 1 and closed, the cover 2 can be closed substantially flush.

A sink 1, a cover 2, which constitute such a washing area,
The faucet pillar 4 is generally preferably molded from resin concrete or other synthetic resin material that has high strength and is easy to mold, but may be molded from other materials with high strength if necessary.

However, according to such a configuration, the cover 2
When in use with the cover 2 open, the cover 2 acts as a splash shield to prevent water from splashing, so there is no risk of water splashing onto nearby residences, etc., and when the cover 2 is closed and not in use. In this state, since the open part of the sink 1 is covered, fallen leaves, dirt, etc. will not get into the sink 1.

FIG. 3 shows the cover 2 provided with a container 6 for small items such as soap, a hook 7 for a bundler 71, and a stopper 5 for hooking a hose 51 for sprinkling water.

If such additional equipment is provided, it will be very convenient for washing cars and watering plants.

Next, what is shown in FIG. 4 shows a case in which a storage section 1a for soap, etc. is formed at the rear end of the sink 1, and the storage section 1a is inserted into a hole 1b opened at the rear end of the sink 1. , is adapted to be attached to the sink 1 by fitting a separate soap storage container 8.

Sink 1, cover 2, faucet pillar 4 in this embodiment
Each of these is molded from resin concrete in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above, but the sink 1 is particularly easy to mold because it is formed into a rectangular box with no unevenness. Moreover, the cover 2 has the advantage that the upper opening of the sink 1 can be completely closed.

Finally, the one shown in Fig. 5 is an improvement of the one shown in Fig. 3, in which the faucet pillar 4 can be detachably attached to the sink 1. A faucet column 4 having fitting grooves 4b, 4b is connected to a pair of fitting grooves 4b, 4b formed in a hollow space 1c below the storage portion 1a at the rear end of the sink 1. The faucet is stored in the space 1c as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 so as to fit into the protrusions 1d, 1d, and the water faucet is stored in the space 1c at the time of assembly. After the pillar 4 is pulled out, it is inserted into the faucet pillar erecting hole of the sink 1 so that the faucet pillar 4 can be erected.

Such a configuration allows the sink 1 to which the cover 2 is attached to
When the faucet pillar 4 and the faucet pillar 4 are sold as a set as a washing area unit, inventory management is facilitated and it is extremely convenient.

As detailed above, in the washing area of the present invention, the cover 2 is pivotally attached to the rear end of the sink 1 on which the faucet pillar 4 is installed, and when in use, the cover 2 is opened in an upright state. Since the cover 2 is designed to close flat when not in use, the cover 2 acts as a water splash prevention plate when the washing area is in use, and when not in use, fallen leaves and debris may enter the sink 1 and cause the drain 9 to leak. There is no risk of clogging.

Furthermore, when the sink 1 is buried in the ground, when the cover 2 is closed, people, bicycles, etc. can pass over it, which has the effect of making effective use of the land space.
