Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom vanity having an outlet, and more particularly to a bathroom vanity with improved usability of the outlet.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a bathroom vanity 1 having a makeup mirror 11 above a bathroom counter 4 is known. One of the main uses of such a vanity 1 is to perform drying and hair styling using a dryer after washing the hair in front of the mirror 2, and to shave the beard with an electric razor. Power such as a dryer or electric razor used at that time is supplied by inserting these power plugs into an outlet 6 provided on the front surface of the makeup mirror 11.

  Other main uses of the bathroom vanity 1 include taking out hot water from the hot and cold mixing tap 10 to wash the face and hands, gargle, and wash. At that time, it is conceivable that water bounced from the wash bowl 3 or overflowed water will be applied to the outlet 6.

  For this reason, the conventional vanity 1 prevents the hot water from the hot and cold water mixing tap 10 from splashing or overflowing from the wash bowl 3 to be applied to the outlet. As shown in FIG. What is provided in the front surface of the makeup mirror 11 above is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In general, however, containers such as hair brushes that do not fit in the storage space in addition to the daily toothbrush and liquid soap are often left on the bathroom counter. . In such a situation, if you insert the plug of the dryer into the outlet provided in the makeup mirror and work, the power cord will often come into contact with the containers placed on the wash counter and fall down Occur.

  Also, since there is only one outlet, if the position of the outlet provided on the makeup mirror and the handle of the dryers, etc. are reversed left and right, the user can use the plug inserted into the outlet provided on the makeup mirror. In many cases, the power cord between the dryers held by the hand crosses the ball of the wash counter, and the power cord gets wet in the ball. For this reason, there is no power cord contact or tipping over the containers placed on the wash counter, and you want to use electric appliances such as dryers without hesitation in a state where the power cord does not touch the wash bowl and get wet. Strong demand.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, it is conceivable to attach a power outlet to the curtain plate surface under the wash counter or the front of the cabinet instead of the makeup mirror. As such a bathroom vanity, in order to make it difficult for water drops to be applied, a bathroom vanity has been devised in which the front plate of the drawer under the counter can be rotated and an outlet is provided at the back of the front plate (for example, patents) Reference 2). Furthermore, in order to prevent the dryer from getting in the way, a bathroom vanity has been devised in which an outlet and a dryer storage are provided on the back side of the door under the counter (for example, Patent Document 3).

  However, even in the case of a bathroom vanity in which a power outlet is attached to the curtain plate under the bathroom counter or the front of the cabinet, the conventional bathroom vanity has the following problems. That is, in Cited Document 2, since the front plate is rotated and an outlet is provided in the back, it is troublesome because the front plate needs to be opened each time to insert the plug. In addition, the front plate needs to be in an open state. In this state, the outlet is exposed, and thus there is a problem that it is impossible to prevent water droplets from being applied. In Cited Document 3, there is an outlet on the back side of the door, so that there is a problem similar to Cited Document 2.

  In addition to the use of the wash counter and balls, the actual situation varies, including washing and pre-washing in addition to washing and washing. Depending on how it is used, water splashes and spills from the work may be washed. The danger of getting the outlet wet through the counter curtain or cabinet is also considered. In addition, since the outlet is installed at a height that can be reached by small children, there is a possibility of unexpected foreign object insertion.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and eliminates the inconvenience that the containers placed on the wash counter with the power cord are knocked down when the dryers are used, or the power cord touches the wash bowl and gets wet. An object of the present invention is to provide a vanity table that can be used and can be used to prevent water from entering the outlet and is easy to use and safe.

The present invention relates to the following.
(1) In a bathroom vanity comprising a counter with a wash bowl, a curtain plate located below the wash bowl and covering the front of the wash bowl, and an outlet for supplying power,
An area located below the counter and extending from the front edge of the counter to the upper end of the front face of the cabinet below the counter is a curtain plate having an obliquely downward slope toward the back side of the vanity, A water return for returning water from the washbasin is formed by a protrusion formed on the surface of the curtain plate, and is provided below the upper surface of the counter with the ball, and the outlet is a curtain on the back side below the water return. A vanity provided on the flat surface of the board surface with an oblique inclination downward in the back direction .
(2) Oite to (1), and the upper curtain plate of water flashing, and the curtain plate below the water flashing, vanity having a step.
(3) In (1) or (2) , the water return has an upper inclined surface and a lower inclined surface, and the upper inclined surface and the lower inclined surface have an inclination in the same direction. .

  According to the present invention, when the dryers are used, the inconvenience that the containers placed on the wash counter with the power cord are overturned or the power cord touches the wash bowl and gets wet, and water enters the outlet. In addition, by suppressing the insertion of unforeseen foreign objects, it is possible to provide a vanity table that is easy to use and safe.

  As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the vanity of the present invention includes a wash bowl 3, a hot and cold mixing tap 10 for supplying hot water to the wash bowl 3, a wash counter 4 having the wash bowl 3, and this wash counter. 4, a makeup mirror 11 having the mirror 2 in front, a curtain plate 5 positioned below the wash counter 4 and covering the front of the wash bowl 3, and water from the wash bowl 3 is returned. A water return 13, an outlet 6 located below the water return 13, and a cabinet 12 located below the curtain 5 are provided. By providing the outlet 6 below the wash counter 4, there is a problem that the containers placed on the wash counter 4 are brought down by the power cord when the dryers are used, or the power cord touches the wash bowl 3 and gets wet. It will be resolved. By providing the outlet 6 below the water return 13, even if hot water flows down the curtain 5 below the wash counter 4 due to water splashes or spills associated with the use of the vanity 1, the hot water Since the water flows down from the tip of the protrusion as the water return 13 above the outlet 6 to the floor surface on which the vanity unit 1 is installed, it is possible to prevent water from directly entering the outlet 6.

  The wash bowl 3 is provided in the wash counter 4 and receives hot water from the hot water mixing tap 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the front edge of the wash bowl 3 is formed so as to protrude forward from the front surface of the lower curtain plate 5 and the front surface of the cabinet 12. Even if hot water from the hot and cold water mixing tap hits the surface of the wash bowl 3 and jumps as water droplets and splashes outside the wash bowl 3, the water drops fall toward the outside of the wash bowl 3. For this reason, it is unlikely that water droplets wrap around, and the front surface of the curtain 5 below and the front surface of the cabinet 12 are suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the curtain plate 5 is formed below the wash counter 4 so as to cover the front of the wash ball 3. That is, the portion from the front edge of the wash counter 4 including the front edge of the wash ball 3 to the upper end of the front surface of the cabinet 12 below is the curtain plate 5. At this time, as described above, the front edge of the wash bowl 3 is formed so as to protrude forward from the front surface of the lower curtain plate 5 and the front surface of the cabinet 12 (FIG. 2). Therefore, the area from the front edge of the wash counter 4 including the front edge of the wash bowl 3 to the upper end of the front surface of the cabinet 12 through the lower curtain 5 is the back of the washstand 1 It is desirable to form the curtain plate 5 so as to have an obliquely downward slope toward the side. Thereby, a flat surface having a sufficient area can be provided, and the outlet 6 can be installed using this surface.

  The water return 13 is provided below the upper surface of the wash counter 4, and when hot water overflowing forward from the wash bowl 3 flows down along the curtain 5, hot water is placed below the water return 13. This is to prevent 5 from being transmitted. For this reason, the water return 13 is not limited as long as hot water can be prevented from being transmitted through the curtain plate 5, but as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the curtain plate 5 itself is a protrusion over the entire width direction. It is desirable to make the water return by making it into the shape which has. Thereby, since the water return 13 and the curtain plate 5 can be integrally molded, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, a linear aesthetic is also obtained and it looks beautiful.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, it is desirable that the curtain plate 5 is formed so as to have an obliquely downward inclination toward the back side of the vanity 1. As a result, the outlet of the outlet 6 is directed obliquely downward, so that it is difficult for the water drop 13 to splash water droplets, and dust and the like can be prevented from entering.

  When the water return 13 is a protrusion, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper inclined surface 14 and the lower inclined surface 15 of the protrusion forming the water return 13 in the cross section of the protrusion viewed from the lateral direction of the vanity 1. It is desirable that the inner angle of the projection, that is, the angle θB of the tip of the projection is 10 to 90 degrees, particularly 45 degrees. Thereby, even when the hot water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down through the curtain plate 5, it is possible to suppress the hot water from flowing from the upper inclined surface 14 to the lower inclined surface 15 of the water return 13, and as a result, It is possible to suppress hot water from being applied to the outlet 6.

  As shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion forming the water return 13 has a downward inclination in the opposite direction to the inclined surface of the curtain plate 5 above. Thereby, the difference in the direction of the hot water flowing down the curtain plate 5 above and below the water return 13 can be ensured, and the hot water does not easily enter the lower inclined surface 15. Further, in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the upper inclined surface 14 of the projection forming the water return 13 has a downwardly inclined downward direction with respect to the inclined surface of the lower curtain plate 5. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the hot water that is prevented from being turned around by the water return 13 and falling downwardly from adhering to the curtain plate 5 below the water return 13 again. Further, in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the lower inclined surface 15 of the protrusion is inclined downward in the same direction as the upper inclined surface 14 on the left and right. As a result, even if the hot water flowing down the curtain plate 5 wraps around the lower inclined surface 15, the hot water is not in the horizontal direction in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to prevent hot water from being applied to the outlet 6.

  As shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the upper inclined surface 14 has a length of 1 mm to 20 mm, particularly 7 to 8 mm, and the lower inclined surface 15 has a length of 5 mm to 40 mm, particularly 10 to 15 mm. As a result, the distance that the hot water flows down the upper inclined surface 14 is secured, and the directionality of the hot water flowing along the angle of the upper inclined surface 14 is increased. As a result, the hot water wraps around the lower inclined surface 15 and is applied to the outlet 6. The effect which suppresses can be heightened. Also, even if hot water wraps around the lower inclined surface 15, it is possible to earn a distance until the hot water reaches the curtain plate 5 body, and by securing the time until the hot water falls, It is possible to suppress the hot water from being applied to 6. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the protrusions from becoming too large and deteriorating in appearance, or the user's protrusions from hitting the user and deteriorating the feeling of use.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the angle θA between the inclined surface of the curtain plate 5 above the water return 13 and the upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion of the water return 13 is 80 to 180 degrees, particularly about 120 degrees. Is desirable. Thereby, the difference between the direction of inclination of the curtain plate 5 of the water return 13 and the direction of the upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion of the water return 13 can be ensured, and as a result, the water return 13 suppresses wraparound of hot water. The effect is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the projection tip of the water return 13 of the curtain plate 5 and the curtain plate 5 therebelow have a step A16. The step A16 is desirably 10 mm to 30 mm, particularly about 20 mm. Thereby, the length of the lower inclined surface 15 of the projection as the water return 13 can be secured, and even if hot water flowing down along the curtain plate 5 wraps around the lower inclined surface 15, the curtain plate Since there is a distance from the 5 main body, it is possible to prevent the hot water from flowing down and reaching the outlet 6 without reaching the curtain plate 5 main body. Further, the curtain plate 5 above the water return 13 and the curtain plate 5 below the water return 13 have a step B18. The step B18 is desirably 5 mm to 25 mm, particularly about 12 mm. Thereby, the position of the outlet 6 can be moved away from the position of the tip of the drainer 13, and hot water is not easily applied to the outlet 6. Moreover, the drainer 13 can be integrated with the design of the step B18, and the appearance can be improved.

  The outlet 6 supplies power such as a dryer or an electric razor that is often used in the bathroom vanity 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the outlet 6 is provided below the water return 13. Thereby, even if the water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down through the curtain 5, the hot water can be prevented from being applied to the outlet 6.

  The outlet 6 is preferably provided with an opening for attaching the curtain plate 5 when the curtain plate 5 is molded. This eliminates the need for parts and processing for attaching the outlet 6, and reduces the cost.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, it is desirable that the outlet 6 is attached to the back side of the vanity 1 with an oblique inclination downward. Thereby, the effect which suppresses that the hot water splashed with the wash bowl 3 wraps around and is applied to the outlet 6 is improved. Further, even when hot water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down the curtain plate 5, it becomes difficult for hot water to flow under the water return 13 and the effect of suppressing the hot water from being applied to the outlet 6 is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the outlets 6 are desirably provided at two or more places on the left and right sides in the width direction of the vanity 1. This makes it easy to insert and remove the plug regardless of the handle of the dryer used in the bathroom vanity 1, and the frequency that the power cord crosses in front of the user of the bathroom vanity 1 To reduce.

  As shown in FIG. 6, it is desirable that the outlet 6 is provided with an outlet cover 17 that covers the outlet of the power plug when not in use. When the outlet 6 is provided below the wash counter 4, the height can be reached even by a small child, so there is a possibility of unexpected insertion of foreign matter. By providing the outlet cover 17, safety can be ensured even in such a situation.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the vanity of the present embodiment includes a wash bowl 3, a hot and cold mixing tap 10 for supplying hot water to the wash bowl 3, a wash counter 4 having the wash bowl 3, and this wash counter. 4, a makeup mirror 11 having the mirror 2 in front, a curtain plate 5 positioned below the wash counter 4 and covering the front of the wash bowl 3, and water from the wash bowl 3 is returned. A water return 13, an outlet 6 located below the water return 13, and a cabinet 12 located below the curtain 5 are provided.

  The wash bowl 3 is provided in the wash counter 4 and receives hot water from the hot water mixing tap 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the front edge of the wash bowl 3 is formed so as to protrude forward from the front surface of the lower curtain plate 5 and the front surface of the cabinet 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the curtain plate 5 extends from the front edge of the wash counter 4 including the front edge of the wash bowl 3 to the upper end of the front surface of the cabinet 12 through the lower curtain plate 5. The region was formed so as to have an obliquely downward slope toward the back side of the vanity 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the water return 13 was made water return by making the curtain plate 5 itself into a shape having protrusions extending in the entire width direction. Thereby, the water return 13 and the curtain 5 could be integrally molded, and the cost could be reduced.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the curtain plate 5 is formed so as to have an obliquely downward slope toward the back side of the vanity 1. As a result, since the outlet of the outlet 6 is directed obliquely downward, it is difficult for the water droplets 13 that are splashed back by the water return 13 to be applied, and it is difficult for dust and the like to enter.

The angle θB of the protrusion, that is, the angle θB of the tip of the protrusion was set to about 45 degrees. As a result, even when hot water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down the curtain plate 5, hot water does not flow from the upper inclined surface 14 to the lower inclined surface 15 of the water return 13, and as a result, hot water flows into the outlet 6. This could be prevented. Further, since the curtain plate 5 of the present example was molded using dicyclopentadiene as a molding material, it was easy to form such a projection shape as the water return 13. In addition, since the curtain plate 5 of this embodiment is integrally formed with the wash counter 4, the number of members can be reduced, and the cost for the members and assembly can be reduced.

  The upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion that forms the water return 13 has a downward inclination in the opposite direction to the inclined surface of the curtain plate 5 above in FIG. Further, in FIG. 5, the upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion forming the water return 13 has a downwardly inclined downward direction with respect to the inclined surface of the lower curtain plate 5. Further, in FIG. 5, the lower inclined surface 15 is inclined downward in the same direction as the upper inclined surface 14 on the left and right.

  In FIG. 5, the length of the upper inclined surface 14 is 7.6 mm, and the length of the lower inclined surface 15 is 13 mm. The angle θA between the inclined surface of the curtain plate 5 above the water return 13 and the upper inclined surface 14 of the protrusion of the water return 13 was set to approximately 120 degrees. A step A16 between the tip of the projection of the water return 13 of the curtain plate 5 and the lower curtain plate 5 is approximately 20 mm, and a step B18 is provided between the curtain plate 5 above the water return 13 and the curtain plate 5 below the water return 13. It was made to be about 12 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the outlet 6 is provided below the water return 13. As a result, even if the water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down the curtain 5, the hot water does not enter the outlet 6. The outlet 6 was provided with an opening for attaching the curtain plate 5 when the curtain plate 5 was molded. This eliminates the need for parts and processing for attaching the outlet 6, thereby reducing the cost.

  As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the outlet 6 is attached to the back side of the vanity 1 with an oblique inclination downward. As a result, the hot water splashed by the wash bowl 3 did not wrap around and hit the outlet 6. Further, even when hot water overflowing from the wash bowl 3 flows down through the curtain plate 5, hot water does not flow under the water return 13, thereby preventing hot water from being applied to the outlet 6.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the outlets 6 are provided at two places on the left and right sides in the width direction of the vanity 1. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the outlet 6 is provided with an outlet cover 17 that covers the outlet of the power plug when not in use.
