Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom counter, and more particularly to a bathroom counter formed on a wall surface of a bathroom washing place or the like for placing small items such as soap.

Conventionally, as this type of counter, for example, the upper surface is inclined downward toward the rear side, or a groove is formed along the wall surface on the side of the wall surface to which the counter is attached. Is formed so that the water can be drained (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
JP-A-8-84680 Japanese Patent No. 3202180

By the way, with this type of counter, if the slope of the upper surface is increased, the water will flow more easily to the rear side, and the drainage and drainage properties of the upper surface will be improved. Becomes worse. Therefore, it is desirable that this type of counter be formed so as to prevent slipping of small items and to improve drainage and drainage of the upper surface.
However, conventional counters of this type simply had a gradient on the top surface. Therefore, in the case of the conventional product, for example, in order to improve drainage, small items become easy to slip when the upper surface is increased, and conversely, if the gradient is decreased to prevent small items from slipping, water droplets remain and the upper surface drains. There was a problem that the water drainability deteriorated.

The present invention has been proposed in view of such conventional problems.
Accordingly, the technical problem of the present invention is that the bathroom counter is formed so that the top surface has a downward slope toward the rear side so that the drainage and drainage properties of the top surface are improved without increasing the slope of the top surface. The purpose is to provide a bathroom counter.

  The present invention employs the following technical means in order to solve the above problems.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention is a bathroom counter in which an upper surface 1 is formed in a downward slope toward the rear side, and water on the upper surface 1 is led to the rear side and drained. A water guide portion that includes a washbasin rest portion 2 that is substantially semicircular in shape, and that guides water gradually and obliquely inward as it reaches the rear side at both left and right ends of the upper surface 1 of the washbasin stand portion 2 3 is formed, and a concave curved portion 4a to which the above-mentioned basin holder 2 is fitted is formed at a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the counter main body 4. The basin holder 2 is concavely curved in the counter main body 4. The recessed step 4b formed on both sides of the portion 4a is engaged with and fitted on both sides of the back surface (claim 1).

  In the case of the present invention, as long as the water guiding portion 3 has a shape capable of gradually guiding the water on the upper surface 1 toward the rear side, the raised shape, the inclination angle, the formation position, and the like thereof are the present invention. It may be selected appropriately according to the design of the product. Here, “gradually guiding obliquely” means that the water is gradually moved laterally and gradually moved toward the rear side. Therefore, according to the product of the present invention, the water on the upper surface 1 is gently guided in the lateral direction toward the rear side by the water guiding portion 3, and the dispersed water droplets are combined. Since the surface tension decreases as the water droplets become larger, the water droplets are further combined, and small water droplets are drawn. Therefore, although the water of the upper surface 1 flows slowly, the water flow gradually flows without being interrupted. As a result, in the present invention, the water on the upper surface 1 of the basin holder 2 can be drained by being guided diagonally inward from both sides by the water guiding part 3, and the drainage of the basin holder 2 that is most easily wetted by splashes from the faucet. Water drainage can be improved without increasing the gradient of the upper surface 1.

  In the case of the present invention, the basin holder 2 is formed with a pair of left and right support pieces 2a that are abutted against the wall surface 5 so as to stabilize the mounting state and mounting posture. Preferred (claim 2).

Further, according to the present invention, a drain groove 6 is formed on the rear side of the upper surface 1 so as to extend in the left-right direction, and the groove surface 8a of the drain outlet 8 connected to the groove 6 is gently inclined to the side. (Claim 3).
Because, according to this, the drain outlet 8 is open to the side, so that drainage can be performed without any eye catching, and the groove surface 8a of the drain outlet 8 is gently inclined, so This is because it can be drained gently so that it sticks.

  As described above, the present invention is a bathroom counter in which the upper surface is formed in a downward slope toward the rear side, and the water on the upper surface is guided to the rear side to drain the water. A water guiding portion for gradually leading water inwardly toward the rear side at both ends in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the basin holder, A concave curved part that fits the above-mentioned basin rest part is formed at the center position, and the basin rest part is engaged on both sides of the back surface with the concave step part formed on both sides of the concave curved part of the counter body part. Are fitted together.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the water gradually flows in the lateral direction, that is, obliquely inward as it reaches the rear side by the water guiding portion, and the small water droplets dispersed therein are combined to form large water droplets. Since tension falls, water becomes easy to flow. Therefore, according to this, without increasing the gradient of the upper surface, it is possible to improve the drainage and drainage properties of the upper surface, and to prevent sliding off of small items such as soap.
Moreover, since this invention is provided with the basin rest part as above-mentioned, it can drain from the clearance gap between the upper surface of the counter main body part behind a basin rest part, and the boundary part of a basin rest part. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the drainage and drainage properties of the upper surface.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the product of the present invention is a bathroom counter in which the upper surface 1 is formed in a downward slope toward the rear side, and the water on the upper surface 1 is led to the rear side and drained. The present invention is formed with a basin rest 2 having a substantially semicircular shape in plan view. Reference numeral 3 denotes a water guiding portion that guides water gradually and obliquely toward the rear side. In this embodiment, the water guiding portion 3 is formed in a raised shape at both the left and right end portions of the upper surface 1 of the basin holder portion 2 and the position of the counter main body portion 4 that is outside the both end portions.

  The counter main body 4 is formed in a long plate shape, and a concave curved portion 4a to which the basin holder 2 is fitted is formed at a substantially central position in the left-right direction. The basin holder 2 is fitted to the concave stepped portion 4b (see FIG. 2) formed on both sides of the concave curved portion 4a of the counter main body portion 4 by engaging both sides of the back surface.
