DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a counter provided on a unit bus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIG. 2, this type of counter 1 is disposed at the waist of a wall of a unit bath A, for example, from a bathtub B to an upper edge of a counter apron C. Conventionally, this counter 1 has an FRP in which artificial marble or the like is arranged on its upper surface.
As shown in FIG. 5, there were many molded products having a wooden board a inserted therein.

[0003]

However, as described above, since the counter is an FRP molded product, the molded shapes are slightly different from each other due to warpage and molding shrinkage, and adjustment at the time of construction is required. Also, in FRP molding, many manual steps are required, and the operation requires a great deal of labor, which causes an increase in manufacturing cost. Further, in manufacturing, as shown in FIG. 6, it is necessary to remove unnecessary portions b and perform edge processing (trimming), which complicates the manufacturing process.

[0004] In addition, since the wood material is inserted as described above because the screw does not stand and the strength is increased by using the FRP alone, the use of the wood material in the bathroom where the humidity is high is not suitable. There is a possibility that water and the like entering the inside may cause the wood material to rot.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to simplify the counter manufacturing process, to eliminate counter warpage and molding shrinkage which have conventionally occurred, and to obtain a low-cost counter for construction. The purpose is to simplify the work at the time.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and is directed to a counter provided on a waist portion of a wall surface of a unit bus, wherein the counter is made of an extruded aluminum material having a cavity. The object of the present invention is to solve the above problem by providing a unit bus counter characterized by the following.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the counter is made of an aluminum plate-like object, the counter warpage and shrinkage are eliminated, and the wood material that has been conventionally inserted becomes unnecessary.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. That is, in the present invention, the counter 1 is made of extruded aluminum, and is provided with a plurality of cavities 2 as shown in FIG.
For example, a groove 3 is provided so that the upper edge of the counter apron C can be fitted therein. As shown in FIG. 2, the counter 1 is arranged at the waist of the wall of the unit bath A, for example, from the bathtub B to the upper edge of the counter apron C.

In the counter 1 made of an extruded aluminum material, the thickness t of each part such as the upper surface and the lower surface is
Can be freely set, and as shown in FIG. 3, the thickness t 'of the screwed portion 4 can be provided to be thicker than other portions.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment. In the second embodiment, each of the cavities 2 of the counter 1 is filled with a filling such as urethane foam, and the filling 5 is disposed in the cavities 2 to mute the sound. The top surface of the counter is not heated by heat from the hot water supply pipe provided below, and the heat is not transmitted to the bathroom. Further, since the filling 5 is packed in the cavity 2, water or the like does not enter the cavity 2.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the unit bath counter is made of extruded aluminum with a cavity, it has extremely improved durability compared to the counterpart which was a FRP molded product with a wooden insert, and can be used in a hot and humid bathroom. Can be durable enough to be used, and the thickness adjustment for obtaining the holding force of the screw can be easily handled by setting at the time of extrusion. Becomes easier. In addition, there is no need for manual work at the time of manufacturing, the cost can be easily reduced by mass production, and the counter can be provided at low cost. Further, the extruded material of aluminum makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the cross-sectional shape of the counter and easily set the cross-sectional shape for providing rigidity. Furthermore, since it is an extruded aluminum material, there is no warping, twisting or shrinking, there is no variation in the shape of each manufactured product, adjustment is not required at the time of counter work, and mounting work is easy, making it practical. It has excellent effects.
