  Hereinafter, the bathroom vanity of this embodiment will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 1, the vanity table 1 of this embodiment has a pedestal portion 2, and a storage space 5 in which a storage body (drawer) 3 is stored in an opening provided on the front surface of the pedestal portion 2. have. The drawer 3 moves in the front-rear direction X when opening and closing. The drawer 3 in FIG. 1 is in the fully open position withdrawn to the front, and is supported only by the floor surface 8.

  FIG. 2 shows a state in which the drawer 3 is in the rearmost storage position. A guide rail 4 is provided on the vanity 1 so as to incline forward and supports a main roller 7 provided at the rear portion of the drawer 3. The latch 13 is provided on the drawer 3, and the catch 14 is provided on the vanity 1. The latch 13 and the catch 14 are fitted to each other so that the drawer 3 does not move forward. When the front surface portion 15 of the drawer 3 is pushed to open the drawer 3, the latch 13 and the catch 14 are disengaged, and the drawer 3 is guided by the guide rail 4 inclined forward and downward. 7 and the auxiliary roller 6 at the front of the drawer 3 are moved forward by their own weight.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the drawer 3 is in the fully opened position where it is pulled out to the front. The latch 13 and the catch 14 are disengaged, and the drawer 3 is moved to the fully open position by the main roller 7 being guided by the guide rail 4 by its own weight. The drawer 3 moved to the fully opened position is stopped when the main roller 7 comes into contact with the stopper 10. The drawer 3 can be freely moved away from the guide rail 4 by a simple operation of moving the rear part of the drawer 3 in the upward direction Y. Further, the drawer 3 removed from the vanity 1 can be easily moved on the floor surface 8 by the auxiliary roller 6 and the main roller 7.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the drawer 3 and the guide rail 4 near the storage position are viewed from above. The drawer 3 is supported by an auxiliary roller 6 and a main roller 7. When the drawer 3 is further moved rearward from the position shown in FIG. 4, the drawer 13 is fixed at the storage position by fitting the latch 13 and the catch 14 together. Even near the storage position, the auxiliary roller 6 provided in front of the drawer 3 is supported only by the floor surface 8. Because the guide rail for guiding the movement of the auxiliary roller 6 is not provided, the drawer 3 may be displaced from the original storage position as shown in FIG. A guide correction unit 11 is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, when the drawer 3 is deviated from the original storage position, the latch 13 and the catch 14 are not fitted and the drawer 3 is not fixed at the storage position, or when the drawer 3 is opened. Although a situation occurs in which the drawer 3 does not move to the fully open position without moving in parallel with the rail 4, the auxiliary roller 6 comes into contact with the guide correction unit 11 by providing the guide correction unit 11. Misalignment is corrected. By providing the guide correction unit 11, it is not necessary to provide the guide rail 4 with a complicated mechanism for preventing the displacement of the main roller 7, thereby realizing a reduction in the number of parts and simplification of parts.

  When the drawer 3 moves to the fully open position, the main roller 7 reaches the floor surface 8 over the convex portion 9 provided on the guide rail 4 and stops by the stopper 10. By adopting a structure in which the main roller 7 is supported by the floor surface 8 only in the fully open position, the drawer 3 in the fully open position can be positioned by a relatively simple structure of the convex portion 9 and the stopper 10. Also in this embodiment, the convex portion 9 is obtained by processing a part of the guide rail 4 and is realized without adding new parts. The protrusion 9 positions the drawer 3 in the fully open position, but the movement of closing the drawer 3 is realized by applying a force that the main roller 7 gets over the protrusion 9 to the drawer 3. In order to increase the positioning effect of the drawer 3 in the fully open position, an anti-slip portion 12 is provided at the lower part of the drawer 3. The non-slip portion 12 is not in contact with the floor surface 8 because the main roller 7 is supported by the guide rail 4 provided at a position higher than the floor surface 8 except in the fully open position. Only when the drawer 3 is supported only by the floor surface 8 at the fully open position, the anti-slip portion 12 and the floor surface 8 are in contact with each other, and the drawer 3 is positioned at the fully open position. Further, when the load on the drawer 3 is increased by, for example, a person getting on the drawer 3 in the fully open position, the frictional force between the anti-slip portion 12 and the floor surface 8 increases, and the anti-slip portion 12 The positioning effect due to increases.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a main part Z of FIG. The drawer 3 is in the storage position, and the auxiliary roller 6 provided at the front of the drawer 3 is in contact with the guide correction unit 11 so that the positional deviation is corrected. When the drawer 3 is in the fully open position, the main roller 7 provided at the rear part of the drawer 3 is supported on the floor surface 8 between the convex portion 9 and the stopper 10. In this embodiment, the convex portion 9 is formed by bending a part of the guide rail 4 upward.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the drawer 3 is in the fully open position, the drawer 3 is positioned by the convex portion 9, the stopper 10, and the anti-slip portion 12 of FIG. 4, so that the scale (weight scale) 16 shown in FIG. It can be used as it is stored in the box. When a person gets on the scale 16 and the load on the drawer 3 increases, the frictional force between the anti-slip portion 12 and the floor surface 8 increases, thereby preventing the drawer 3 from moving while the scale 16 is in use.

  The weight scale 16 shown in FIG. 1 is an electronic type, and the measurement result is displayed on the display unit 20. The display unit 20 is provided near the curan of the vanity 1. Wiring is provided between the display unit 20 and the infrared communication unit 19 shown in FIG. 3, and information communication is possible. Infrared communication is performed between the measuring instrument infrared communication unit 18 of FIG. 1 and the infrared communication unit 19 of FIG. The measurement result of the measuring instrument 16 is transmitted via the infrared communication between the measuring instrument infrared communication unit 18 shown in FIG. 1 and the infrared communication unit 19 shown in FIG. 3 and the wiring between the infrared communication unit 19 and the display unit 20. To the display unit 20 by information communication. When the measurement result is confirmed on the display unit 20, it is easier to confirm the measurement result than when the measurement unit 16 has a measurement result display unit, and the body movement of confirming the display by bending is possible. Since it is not necessary, the measurement result can be confirmed safely.

  The switch 17 shown in FIG. 3 turns on the power of the measuring instrument 16 when the drawer 3 is moved to the fully open position. The mechanism is shown below. The switch 17 is provided with an arm portion for detecting the main roller 7 toward the guide rail 4. When the arm does not detect the main roller 7, the switch is “OFF”, and the switch 17 is “ON” only while the main roller 7 is detected. When the main roller 7 comes into contact with the arm portion of the switch 17 and pushes it upward in the fully open position, the switch 17 is turned “ON”. First, the power of the infrared communication unit 19 in FIG. " A signal for turning on the power of the measuring instrument 16 is transmitted from the infrared communication unit 19 whose power is turned on, and the power of the measuring instrument 16 that has received the signal by the measuring instrument infrared communication unit 18 is “ "On". This signal is transmitted while the power of the infrared communication unit 19 is “ON”. When the drawer 3 is moved from the fully open position, the main roller 7 does not push up the arm portion of the switch 17, so that the switch 17 is turned off. First, the power of the infrared communication unit 19 in FIG. 3 and the display unit 20 in FIG. It becomes “OFF”. When a certain period of time elapses after a signal to turn on the weighing instrument 16 is not transmitted from the infrared communication unit 19 whose power is turned off, a timer provided in the weighing instrument 16 Turn off the power of the device 16.

  The storage body 3 shown in FIG. 6 shows a state in which the rechargeable weighing scale (weight scale) 16 having the charging unit 22 is stored and is in the storage position stored at the rearmost position. The measuring instrument 16 is operated by the electric power stored in the charging unit 22.
