Description

  The present invention relates to a counter incorporated in a toilet and a toilet incorporating the counter.

There is a counter in the toilet where small items such as soap, deodorant, cosmetics or extra toilet paper are placed.
Such counters are often installed in the toilets at the site, so the length of the counter is set long to fit many types of toilets, placed on the site and cut according to the installation location. Like to do.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a counter or a hollow is provided on one end of the counter so that the counter can be easily cut in the field, thereby reducing the resistance at the time of cutting and making it easy to cut. The structure which maintains is proposed.

JP 2003-325384 A

The counter of patent document 1 is a counter attached along a frontage direction, and a big force does not act normally on the counter of this direction. However, it must be assumed that a large force acts on the counter arranged along the depth direction of the toilet. That is, when the user stands up from the toilet bowl, the counter is at an appropriate height, so it is conceivable that the elbow is placed on the counter to support the weight. In such a case, since only one plate cannot be supported, the bracket must be fixed to the wall surface and the plate must be supported by the bracket.
In addition, when a heavy object such as a hand-washing machine is placed on one end of the counter, the counter must be supported by a bracket.

  The bracket is for supporting a load and is generally made of metal. If the L-shaped bracket with a short length in the depth direction of the toilet is used as this bracket, sufficient strength may not be obtained, and the counter is partially supported as shown in FIG. It is possible, but this will make it look bad.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to integrate the bracket with the same length as the counter plate and cut it to the required length on site. However, since the bracket is made of metal as described above, it takes time for cutting, and the workability deteriorates.

In order to solve the above problems, a counter according to the present invention is provided in a toilet and supports a heavy object such as a hand-washer at one end, which is fixed to a plate on which an object is placed and a wall surface of the toilet. The bracket is configured such that a metal bracket and a resin bracket are continuous in the length direction, and the metal bracket is used to support a plate on the side on which a heavy object is placed.
By setting it as the said structure, it can cut | disconnect easily in the arbitrary positions of the part in which the resin-made brackets are provided, and the construction property in the field increases. In addition, the necessary strength can be ensured with a metal bracket.

Both the metal bracket and the resin bracket are excellent in design by having an angled shape with the same end face shape. Note that it is preferable that the same color tone is used because of uniformity.

The present invention also includes a toilet incorporating the counter. In this toilet, the counter is disposed along the depth direction on the side of the toilet bowl, and the plate in the front part is supported by the metal bracket at least from a position corresponding to the front end of the toilet bowl in a side view. Yes.
By doing in this way, when a user stands up from a toilet, even if he puts weight on a counter, it can endure it.

  In the counter according to the present invention, a bracket is integrally provided over the entire length in the length direction, and the bracket is made up of a metal bracket and a resin bracket. An object can be placed, and since a part of the continuous bracket is a resin bracket, the length can be easily adjusted by cutting at this part.

  Moreover, it is good when the metal bracket and the resin bracket are continuous and have the same color tone.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet to which a counter according to the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the toilet, FIG. 3 is a side view of the toilet, FIG. 4 is an overall perspective view of the counter, and FIG. It is.

  In the toilet, a toilet 2 is installed on the floor surface 1, and a hand-washer 4 and a hand-washer cabinet 5 are fixed to a wall 3 on the right side of the toilet 2, and between the hand-washer cabinet 5 and the wall 6 on the back side. A counter 7 is provided.

  In the counter 7, a plate 8 on which an object is placed and a bracket 9 fixed to the wall surface 3 via screws are integrated. As a means for integrating, an adhesive or a screw is used.

  The plate 8 is made of a material that can be easily cut, such as wood, resin, artificial marble, etc. One end of the plate 8 also serves as a top plate of the hand-washing cabinet 5, and the hand-washing device 4 is disposed on the plate 8. A hole 8 a through which the drain pipe from the vessel 4 passes is formed at one end of the plate 8. The other end of the plate 8 is abutted against the wall surface 6 on the back side.

  On the other hand, the bracket 9 is composed of a metal bracket 10 made of stainless steel or aluminum and a resin bracket 11 made of polypropylene, ABS, polyvinyl chloride or the like continuously in the length direction.

  Both the metal bracket 10 and the resin bracket 11 have an angled end surface, and the same color tone is used so that the boundary between them is not noticeable. In order to make the boundary inconspicuous, a paint may be applied.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the ratio of the metal bracket 10 and the resin bracket 11 is the metal bracket 10 at the front part of the position corresponding to the front end of the toilet 2. The part ahead of the position corresponding to the distal end of the toilet 2 is a place where the user puts his arm and puts weight when standing up from the toilet. If this part is supported by the metal bracket 10, the strength is sufficient. It is.

  In the above, in order to incorporate the counter 7 into the toilet, as shown in FIG. 4, the counter 7 is cut at a portion of the resin bracket 11 so as to have a predetermined size using a saw, and this is formed on the side wall 6 of the toilet. It fixes through the metal bracket 10 and the remaining resin bracket 11.
