  The bar body includes a front part that allows a user to droop, a rear part located on the cabinet side with respect to the front part, and a bottom part located below the front part and the rear part. The cover material is preferably formed so as to cover a part of the front surface portion, the rear surface portion, and the bottom surface portion.

  The assist bar is preferably provided with a side cap at the end, and the end of the cover material is fixed to the side cap in a butted state.

  The assist bar is preferably formed so that a rear surface portion located on the cabinet side of the assist bar protrudes outward from the surface of the side cap with respect to the front surface portion on which the user can bend the body. .

  According to the present invention, a clue is formed on the elastic cover material, and only the cover material is attached to the outer cover so that it can be attached and removed by elasticity. At the time of replacement, it is easy to install and remove for cleaning.

  The best mode for carrying out the sink according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings based on the embodiments.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a first embodiment of a sink according to the present invention. In the sink 1 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, the storage / assist bar is located in the front surface of the cabinet 2 of the sink 1, in other words, in the space below the top plate 3 and in front of the sink 4. A curtain plate 5 is attached.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the storage / assist bar curtain plate 5 includes a storage / assist bar member 6, a fixed piece 7, a side cap 8, and a cover material 9 (assist Bar cover).

  The storage / assist bar member 6 includes a bar body 10, a shelf 11, and a mounting portion 12, as shown in a perspective view in FIG. 1B, and a side plate of the cabinet 2 through a fixed piece 7. 13 is attached. The cover material 9 is externally mounted on the bar main body 10 (mounted on the outer surface of the bar main body 10), and constitutes an assist bar 14. The side cap 8 is attached to the end of the bar body 10.

  With the storage / assist bar curtain plate portion 5 having the above-described configuration, the article 15 can be placed and stored on the shelf 11, and the user of the sink 1 leans and supports the body of the sink bar 14. be able to.

  A characteristic configuration of the present invention is a configuration of the cover member 9 attached to the outer surface of the bar main body 10 of the assist bar 14 and an attachment structure for attaching the side cap 8 to the assist bar 14. This characteristic configuration will be described below.

  As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2A, the bar body 10 is positioned on the cabinet 2 side with respect to the front surface portion 16 having a convex curve that allows the user to droop the body. A concavely curved rear surface portion 17 and a front surface portion 16 and a bottom surface portion 18 located below the rear surface portion 17.

  As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2B, the cover material 9 is in a form having elasticity so that it can be attached to and detached from the bar body 10. Specifically, the cover material 9 is formed of a material such as an elastic resin material, and the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cover material 9 is substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bar body 10. It is formed so that.

  In short, the cover material 9 is formed with substantially the same outer surface contour along the outer surface of the bar main body 10, and corresponds to the front surface portion 16, the rear surface portion 17 and the bottom surface portion 18 of the bar main body. 19, a rear surface portion 20 and a lower surface portion 21 are provided.

  The cover material 9 includes a convex portion 22 that contacts the lower surface of the top plate 3. The convex portion 22 is formed on the distal end side of the rear surface portion 20 of the cover material 9 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the cover material 9. As shown in FIG. 2D, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 22 has various shapes and is formed of a material rich in elasticity.

  The convex portion 22 may be integrally formed as a part of the cover material 9 or may be formed separately from the cover material 9 and bonded integrally by heat welding, an adhesive, a double-sided tape, or the like. It is good also as a structure. When integrally molding as a part of the cover material 9, only the convex portion 22 is integrally formed with the main body by extrusion molding using a material that is more elastic than the main body of the cover material 9.

  When the assist bar 14 with the cover material 9 having the convex portion 22 is provided on the sink 1, the convex portion 22 of the cover material 9 seals the gap between the cover material 9 and the top plate 3. As a result, it is possible to improve the appearance as viewed from the front of the cabinet, and to make it difficult for dust, water, moisture and the like to enter the cabinet 2 from the gap.

  A clue 23 is formed at the leading edge of the lower surface portion 21 of the cover material 9. The clue 23 is formed obliquely downward toward the cabinet 2 side. When the cover member 9 is removed from the bar body 10, it is easy to remove the cover member 9 by placing a hand on the clue 23. Further, since the clue 23 is formed obliquely downward, it is difficult to see from the front and is not conspicuous, so that the appearance of the cover material 9 is not impaired.

  Further, the inner surface of the lower surface portion 21 of the cover material 9 may have a configuration in which the ridges 24 are formed so as to extend along the longitudinal direction of the cover material 9. In the case where the protrusions 24 are formed on the lower inner surface of the cover material 9, a groove 25 corresponding to the protrusions 24 is formed in the bottom surface portion 18 of the bar body 10, and the cover material 9 is attached to the bar body 10. When mounted on the ridges, the ridges 24 are fitted into the grooves 25.

  FIG. 3 is a view for explaining an attachment structure for attaching the side cap 8 to the end portion of the assist bar 14. 3A is a diagram showing a part of the assist bar 14 in the AA cross section of FIG. 1A, and FIG. 3B is a front view (a sink) as viewed from AA in FIG. 3A. FIG. 3C is an enlarged view of a part of FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3D is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 3C. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3D, the assist bar 14 formed by covering the cover member 9 on the bar body 10 is in contact with and abutted against the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8 as shown in FIGS. It is fixed with.

  Specifically, the bar main body 10 is abutted against the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8 and fixed with screws 27 from the outer surface side of the side cap 8, and the cover material 9 covers the fixed bar main body 10 using elasticity. To install. After covering the cover material 9, the bar body 10 may be fixed to the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8.

  In short, it is not a configuration in which a recess or protrusion is provided on the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8 and the assist bar 14 is fitted and attached thereto (see FIG. 5D), but the assist bar 14 is simply attached to the side cap. 8 is configured to abut against the inner surface 26 of the eight, and abut with each other and be fixed with screws 27.

  The bar body 10 may be configured to be fitted and fixed to the recess of the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8, but at least the cover material 9 is simply in contact with and abutted against the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8. It is set as the structure fixed by. Thereby, the cover material 9 can be attached to and detached from the bar main body 10 fixed to the side cap 8.

  As for the attachment structure to the side cap 8 at the end portion of the assist bar 14, the assist bar 14 is in contact with the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8, and is abutted and fixed with screws 27. Further, the following configuration is adopted. It is preferable to do. This configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In this configuration, the surface of the assist bar 14 with respect to the surface of the side cap 8 has a retracted state and a protruding state to the outside, because the front surface portion 19 of the assist bar 14 (specifically, the front surface portion 19 of the cover material 9) And the rear surface portion 20 (specifically, the rear surface portion 20 of the cover material 9 and hence the “back surface portion 20 of the assist bar 14”). It is a point attached.

  That is, of the surface of the assist bar 14 (specifically, the surface of the cover material 9), the front surface portion 19 that is a side where people can fall is prevented from coming out of the front surface portion 28 of the side cap 8. 8 is configured to be on the same surface (the same surface) as the front surface portion 28 or the inside thereof.

  On the other hand, of the surface of the assist bar 14 (the surface of the cover material 9), the rear surface portion 20 located on the cabinet 2 side with respect to the front surface portion 19 where the person is scooped is slightly outward from the rear surface portion 29 of the side cap 8. Configure to protrude.

(Action etc.)
The operation of the sink 1 according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described. In the present invention, when the assist bar 14 is attached, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3D, the bar body 10 is brought into a state of abutting against the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8, and the screw is applied from the outer surface side of the side cap 8. 27 to fix.

  Then, the cover material 9 is covered with the bar body 10 by using its elasticity. The elastic convex portion 22 provided on the front end side of the rear surface portion 20 of the cover member 9 contacts the lower surface of the top plate 3 placed on the upper surface of the cabinet 2. This makes it difficult for dust, dust, water, moisture, etc. to enter the cabinet 2. Then, the protrusion 24 formed on the lower inner surface 26 of the cover material 9 functions as a stopper for fitting the groove 24 formed in the bottom surface of the bar body 10.

  When removing the cover material 9 from the bar main body 10, it can be removed using the elasticity of the cover material 9. At this time, if the cover material 9 is lifted upward by placing a hand on the clue 23, the cover material 9 is removed. It becomes easy to remove.

  Furthermore, the effect of the sink 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated compared with the prior art example shown in FIG. In the conventional example, as shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 5 (d), a recess 54 is formed on the inner surface of the side cap 53, and a cover member 52 is externally mounted on the bar body 57 in the recess 54. The end portion of the assist bar 51 was inserted and fixed with screws 27 from the outer surface side of the side cap 53.

  When dust accumulates in a gap 55 between the inner side surface of the recess 54 of the side cap 53 and the outer side surface of the assist bar 51 (specifically, the outer side surface of the cover member 52), the gap 55 is formed in the assist bar 51. Because it is toward the longitudinal direction of, it is difficult to clean. Removal of the cover material 52 facilitates cleaning. However, since the end portion of the cover member 52 is inserted into the recess 54 of the side cap 53 together with the bar main body 57, the side cap 53 must be removed, which is troublesome.

  In this respect, in the present invention, the assist bar 14 is fixed in a state of being abutted against the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8, so that the gap between the end of the assist bar 14 and the inner surface 26 of the side cap 8 faces the outer surface. Is formed. Therefore, compared with the conventional example, cleaning is easy even if dust accumulates in the gap.

  In addition, the cover material is simply abutted against the side cap without fitting the end part of the cover to the side cap. Since there is no gap between the cover material and the side cap and extending in the longitudinal direction of the cover material, the cleaning property is also improved.

  Moreover, in the present invention, the cover member 9 is not configured to be inserted into the recess 54 of the side cap 53 as in the conventional example shown in FIG. Therefore, since the cover material 9 can be easily removed as necessary, it is easy to clean from this point of view. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide the recess 32 in the side cap 8, the structure of the side cap 8 becomes simple.

  By the way, when the front surface portion 19 of the assist bar 14 protrudes outward from the front surface portion 28 of the side cap 8, the image of firmly supporting the side cap 8 at both ends of the assist bar 14 is faded, and the appearance is deteriorated. .

  Therefore, in the conventional example, as shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D, the outer dimension of the side cap 53 is made larger than that of the assist bar 51, and the assist bar 51 extends from the front surface portion 58 and the rear surface portion 59 of the side cap 53. The front surface portion 60 and the rear surface portion 61 are configured not to protrude outward.

  However, compared with the front surface portion 60 of the assist bar 51, the rear surface portion 61 of the assist bar 51 is not drunk, and the back surface portion 61 is on the back side compared with the front surface portion 60. Therefore, dust and dust tend to accumulate.

  Normally, when the assist bar 51 is wiped and cleaned, the vicinity of the end portion is wiped from the center side toward the end portion. At the time of such wiping, if the rear surface portion 61 of the assist bar 51 enters inside the rear surface portion 59 of the side cap 53 as in the conventional example shown in FIGS. It is difficult to remove dust and dirt from the portion attached to the side cap 53 at the end of 51.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the rear surface portion 20 on the cabinet 2 side with respect to the front surface portion 19 on which the person of the assist bar 14 falls is configured to slightly protrude outward from the rear surface portion 29 of the side cap 8. It becomes easy to wipe off dust. Since the rear surface portion 20 of the assist bar 14 does not touch the eyes of the user, even if the configuration slightly protrudes outward from the front surface portion 28 of the side cap 8, the appearance is not affected.

  In the first embodiment, the configuration in which the bar main body 10 of the assist bar 14 is incorporated as a part of the storage and assist bar curtain plate portion 5 has been described. However, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the assist bar 32 is attached to the curtain plate 30 of the cabinet 2 of the sink 1 via the side cap 31.

  The bar main body 33 and the cover member 34 according to the second embodiment have the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, although details thereof are omitted. Further, the attachment structure to the side cap 31 at the end of the assist bar 32 is the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, the assist bar 32 is fixed in a state of being abutted against the inner surface 36 of the side cap 31.

  Furthermore, the second embodiment is preferably configured as follows, similarly to the first embodiment. That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, the front side portion 37 on the side of the assist bar 32 (specifically, the surface of the cover material) where the person is drowning is outside the front side portion 38 of the side cap 31. In other words, the side cap 31 is configured to be on the same surface (the same surface) as the front surface portion 38 or on the inner side thereof.

  On the other hand, of the surface of the assist bar 32 (the surface of the cover member 34), the rear surface portion 39 located on the cabinet 2 side with respect to the front surface portion 37 on which people are scooped is slightly outward from the rear surface portion 40 of the side cap 31. Configure to protrude. With such a configuration, the appearance seen from the front is not deteriorated, and the cleanability of the assist bar 31 is improved.

  As mentioned above, although the best form for implementing the sink concerning this invention was demonstrated based on the Example, this invention is not limited to such an Example, The technique described in the claim It goes without saying that there are various embodiments within the scope of the subject matter.

  The sink according to the present invention is configured as described above and can be used not only for a sink but also for a work sink, a washstand, and the like, and these are also included in the scope of the present application.
