Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a washbasin having a counter mounted on a cabinet.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, counters for washstands installed in washrooms and equipped with basins, etc. are made of materials such as wood, resin, and artificial marble, and their thickness is approximately 20 mm.
If the thickness of the counter material was exposed as it was on the edge of the counter, it would be inferior to the sense of solidity and luxury, so an apron was formed integrally with the edge of the counter.

As a method of providing this apron, as shown in FIG. There is one in which an apron 103 is formed on the front side.

However, when laying out a washbasin, the cabinet 100 is located below the washbasin 104 as shown in FIG. It is necessary to cut out the upper end of the side plate 100b at such a position. Therefore, the installation work on site is complicated, and the height of the cabinet 100 is increased, resulting in an increase in cost.

Furthermore, as a structure in which the apron 103 is provided on the counter 102, as shown in FIG. 3, there is also a structure in which the apron 103a is also formed on both sides, and the inside is integrally formed as a double-sided flash structure with a shaped cross-sectional space. .

However, the counter 100 requires a large number of man-hours to manufacture because it has to have a double-sided flush structure depending on the installation width and length of the counter at the site. In addition, when providing a mounting hole for installing a washbasin, if the position of the hole overlaps with the part where the reinforcing partition plate 105 shown in Fig. 4 is placed, it will be necessary to cut this partition plate 105, so the partition will be removed at the factory manufacturing stage. Attaching the plate 105 becomes a waste. Furthermore, depending on the installation location, the end of the counter 102 may be cut, and since there is no reinforcing material (apron) on the cut end surface, the strength will be weakened. Since it requires processing, it also has the disadvantage of extremely poor installation workability.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce costs and facilitate installation of a wash basin having a counter with an apron.

[Structure of the idea]

The structure of the present invention is that a plurality of support frames are arranged between a cabinet and a counter having an apron on the front surface to connect these two, and the support frames are formed at approximately the same height as the apron, and have at least one side. It is equipped with a side plate that matches the shape of the lower surface of the counter and the back surface of the apron.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 5 is a front view of the washbasin according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the same. A counter is arranged on a rack and has a washbasin 4 attached approximately in the center, and 5 is a support frame interposed between the cabinet 1 and the counter 3.

The counter 3 has a cross-sectional shape with an apron 3a integrally formed only on the front side, and when mounted and connected on the support frame 5, the lower edge of the apron 3a is aligned with the upper edge of the door 2.

The support frame body 5 has side plates 6 of the same shape on both sides,
Each side plate 6 has a plurality of upper horizontal crosspieces 7 on both the upper and lower sides.
and are connected to each other by a lower horizontal crosspiece 8. The distance between the side plates 6, that is, the width of the support frame 5, should be the minimum length that can sufficiently withstand the weight of the counter 3 on which it is placed, and if the width is large, it is also possible to install a reinforcing plate 9 in the middle. be.

The outer shape of the side plate 6 is formed to be equal to the area A defined by the one-dot chain line between the lower surface of the counter 3 and the back surface of the apron 3a as shown in FIG. 6, so that the side plate 6 is integrally aligned with the counter 3 during assembly. Make it possible to connect.

The procedure for installation is to first connect and fix the lower horizontal crosspiece 8 of the support frame 5 to the horizontal crosspiece 10 at the upper end of the cabinet 1 with screws 11, etc., and set it at the installation position. Next, the counter 3 is cut to match the installation width, placed on the side plate 6 of the support frame 5 so that both ends are substantially flush with each other, and fixed with screws or hot melt adhesive. Furthermore, by pasting a decorative board on the exposed surface side of the side plate 6, the side plate 6 of the support frame 5 becomes apron-shaped, completing the installation.

Or, contrary to the above, attach the support frame 5 to the counter 3.
After being fixed, it may be placed on the cabinet 1 and connected to the horizontal bar 10 at the upper end of the cabinet 1 from below with screws 11 or the like.

As described above, since the side plate 6 of the support frame 5 can be used as an apron on the side of the wash basin, the counter 3
Since there is no need to install a new apron after cutting, installation work can be made very simple.

FIG. 8 is a front view showing the second embodiment, which has a layout with one more cabinet.
The counter 3 is placed on the cabinet 1 and connected to the support frame 5 in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. In this example as well, the side plate 6 of the support frame 5 functions as an apron, and construction after cutting the counter 3 can be easily performed.

〔effect〕

The washbasin according to the present invention has the following effects depending on its configuration.

Even if the counter has to be cut during on-site construction, there is no need to finish the apron, so construction is easy and costs can be reduced.

Since counters can be connected by appropriately providing support frames regardless of the frontage size of the cabinet, various layouts are possible.

Since there is no need to increase the height of the cabinet, it can be made smaller, easier to install, and less expensive.
