Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wash basin, which is one of the housing equipment that handles water. In addition, most of the washstands in recent years are manufactured and sold as a washstand with an integrated mirror, but it goes without saying that the washstand is one of the washstands.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The bathroom vanities are currently provided by more than a dozen manufacturers, but the height of the vanity is all 750 mm. The height of 750 mm is a height for modern Japanese who have become as good as Europeans and Americans in that they have to bend deep and take an unnatural posture when washing their hands. The conventional vanity with the wash basin in the lower position was ergonomically inconvenient and had many inconveniences.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, we tried to research and develop a unique vanity with a wash-basin height of 870 mm according to the user's needs, but the height of 870 mm, which is 10 cm higher than the conventional product, is very useful for many users. It was found to be one of the heights that is easy to use.

However, the height of the washbasin of 870 mm is a height at which at the same time, some children and others have to stretch and use it, which often causes inconvenience. It was also found that the height of the washbasin cannot be changed. While paying attention to the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a washbasin that can be comfortably used by any user regardless of height.

Further, in the present invention, attention is paid to the dead space provided in the riser portion of the washbasin from the viewpoint of conventional design. The purpose is to utilize this dead space, but at that time, it is disclosed that the problem of crossing over from the drain under the wash bowl to the drain on the floor can be overcome.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved by the means described in the above-mentioned utility model registration claim. That is, the invention of claim 1 is a wash basin provided with a member that can be used as a step during use and can be stored in the wash basin when not in use, and the invention according to claim 2 can store the member in the kick portion of the wash basin. It is a washbasin provided with a space and a structure for avoiding a drainage pipe when stored in the member, and the invention according to claim 3 is such that the member has a drainage channel space under which the drainage pipe crawls. It is a stand.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, the stowage for a short person is formed by putting the stored member into the used state. According to the second aspect of the present invention, by using the member having the structure for avoiding the drainage pipe, the member can be stored in the kicking portion which was the dead space. According to the invention of claim 3, since the drainage pipe is located below the step of the member, the member can be taken in and out without intersecting with the drainage pipe.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The height of the washbasin 10 shown in the figure is 870 mm, which is 10 cm higher than that of the conventional product. The figure (a) shows the non-use state of the member 12, and the figure (b) shows the use state of the member 12. In this embodiment, the drain pipe 16 and the like passing through the storage space under the wash ball 14 can be seen from the outside in the use state of FIG. (B), so it may be desirable to provide a shielding means for the storage space. .

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The height of the washbasin 20 shown is also 870 mm 2. The figure (c) shows the non-use state of the member 22, and the figure (d) shows the use state of the member 22. A drainage pipe 26 extends through the washbasin 20 from the lower side of the washbasin 24 to the drainage port on the floor. Therefore, when the riser portion of the washbasin 20, which was a dead space, is utilized as a storage space for the member 22, the member 22 needs to be specially devised. FIG. 4 (i) is a diagram illustrating such a member, and the member 40 is provided with a groove 42 for avoiding a drain pipe.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The height of the wash basin 30 shown is 870 mm, but the wash basin 30 is designed so that the drainage from the wash basin 34 is discharged through a drain pipe 36 that goes under the wall and crawls on the floor. Drawings (e) and (f) are a plan view and a side view, respectively, showing the non-use state of the member 32, and figures (g) and (h) are a plan view and a side view, respectively, showing the use state of the member 32. .

FIG. 4 (nu) is a diagram showing a state of the member 32 viewed from above. In this example, the bottom surface of the member 32 occupying the rectangular parallelepiped space and the back surface on the wall side are completely open, but it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate depending on the drain pipe installation situation. Let's go. However, because the position of the drainage outlet on the floor varies, it is necessary to provide a wide space below the step to allow the drainage pipe to crawl. In addition, it is clear from the figure (e) that the side surface of the member 32 and the back surface on the wall side are also under the step.

By the way, it is possible to add a function to the member 32 for facilitating taking in and out. For example, a handle can be attached to make it easier to hold, a caster can be attached to improve sliding, and a stopper can be provided to fix the position of the member in a used state or a non-used state. Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically load and unload members by electric drive.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in a washbasin used for both a tall adult and a short child, a step can be formed even if the position of the washbasin is raised. Therefore, both tall adults and short children can use the wash basin very comfortably.
