Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wash (hand wash) counter used as a counter portion of a wash unit or attached to a wall such as a washroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a general wash counter used as described above, there is known a wash counter made of ceramic or metal on a counter made of synthetic resin or wood. . In the wash counter of this configuration, the material of the wash ball can be selected regardless of the material of the counter, but dirt easily collects at the boundary between the wash ball and the counter, and such dirt and the wash ball itself can be made strong. To remove dirt or to replace only a broken or damaged washbasin, remove the washbasin from the counter or attach the removed washball to the counter. Since the drainage pipe is connected to, it is not easy and we have to ask a specialized contractor, and there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and money.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a wooden or synthetic resin counter having a circular opening 2 at a predetermined position. Reference numeral 3 denotes a hemispherical outer ball made of a thin synthetic resin molded product, which is a pipe connection tubular portion 5 forming a drainage port 4.
Is projected downward at a position slightly deviated from the center of the bottom to the inner side. The outer ball 3 has a diameter such that it can be fitted into the opening 2, and a flange portion 6 that abuts the surface of the counter 1 is continuously formed on the upper edge of the outer ball 3 by integral molding. Reference numeral 7 is a substantially L-shaped outer ball fixing member, one end of which is attached to the bottom surface of the counter 1 at appropriate intervals around the opening 2 with wood screws or the like, and the other end of which is the outer ball 3.
Is fixed to the outer side surface of the by adhesive or the like. Reference numeral 8 is a drain pipe connected to the pipe connection tubular portion 5 of the outer ball 3.

A wash ball 10 made of ceramics (or metal such as stainless steel) is removably fitted in the recess 9 of the counter 1 formed by the outer ball 3. The wash ball 10 has a hemispherical shape that is slightly smaller than the outer ball 3, has a drainage port 11 at the center of the bottom, and has an annular recess at the upper end periphery into which the flange 6 of the outer ball 3 is fitted. The groove portion 12 is provided on the lower side, and a cover flange portion 13 that contacts the surface of the counter 1 outside the flange portion 6 is continuously provided. The wash-basin ball 10 is constructed to be thick enough to have a weight such that the wash-ball 10 is stable when fitted to the outer ball 3 by gravity alone. It may be fixed to the counter 1 with a screw or the like).

Reference numeral 14 denotes a water tap such as a hot and cold water mixing tap, which is attached to the counter 1 at a position where water can be supplied to the wash bowl 10. Further, although not shown, a rubber plug or the like for closing the drainage port 11 of the wash ball 10 can be used together.

The wash-basin 10 can be made of ceramics, metal, or various colors, and can be prepared in advance. For the recess 9 of the counter 1, that is, the outer ball 3, It is assembled by fitting the wash-basin 10 of the material and color selected by the user from above. During use, drainage in the wash ball 10 flows out from the drain port 11 of the wash ball 10, flows through the inside of the outer ball 3 and flows from the drain port 4 of the outer ball 3 to the drain pipe 8. At this time, since the drainage port 4 of the outer ball 3 is displaced to the back side with respect to the drainage port 11 of the washbasin 10, the water that has flowed out of the drainage port 11 of the washbasin 10 will once stay on the inner surface of the outer ball 3. After being received, it will flow to the drainage port 4 of the outer ball 3. or,
When the cleaning ball 10 itself is cleaned or replaced, the inner surface of the outer ball 3 is cleaned, or the boundary between the cover flange portion 13 of the cleaning ball 10 and the surface of the counter 1 is cleaned, the cleaning ball 10 is simply raised. The wash-basin ball 10 can be removed from the counter 1 by simply lifting it up to the counter 1.
It can be used simply by fitting the wash ball 10 into the recess 9 (inside the outer ball 3) from above.

The method of forming the recess 9 of the counter 1 is as follows.
The method of using the separately molded outer ball 3 as in the above embodiment is not limited. For example, when the counter 1 is formed of a synthetic resin molded product, the bent portion forming the recess 9 can be integrally formed with the counter 1.

[0011]

The wash counter of the present invention can be implemented and used as described above. According to the wash counter of the present invention, the drain of the wash ball is located in the recess of the counter. Since it is only in communication and not directly connected to the drain pipe, even if the wash bowl is fixed to the counter, you can easily remove the wash ball from the counter simply by releasing the fixing. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible for the user to easily and easily attach and detach the wash-basin whenever necessary, without resorting to a specialist. In other words, cleaning or replacement of the wash ball itself, cleaning of the inner surface of the counter recess where the wash ball fits, cleaning of the boundary between the wash ball and the surface of the counter, etc. Can be removed easily and easily.

In particular, according to the structure of the present invention, since the drainage does not drop directly from the drainage outlet of the wash bowl to the drainage outlet of the counter recess, the drainage noise can be reduced and
If it has a certain length, it is possible to prevent the counter recess from directly flowing into the drain pipe.

[0013] Also, it is not necessary to integrally mold the wash ball fitting recess in the counter, with may constitute counter of any material, the outer a relatively thin synthetic resin molded article because the outer ball not applied load is almost The ball can be configured, and the cost can be reduced as a whole. Further, as the wash ball, it is possible to increase the commercial value of the whole wash counter by using a heavy ceramics ball or a modern metal ball.

According to the second aspect of the present invention , the flange portion of the outer ball can be hidden by the cover flange portion of the wash ball, and the wash ball can be positioned by the flange portion of the outer ball. It is possible to prevent the outer surface of the wash ball from slidingly contacting the inner surface of the ball.
