Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a washbasin device that can be used for various purposes such as face washing and hair washing.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a washstand installed in a washroom, for example, one described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-34539. In this system, a step is provided on the upper surface of a cabinet placed on the floor, and two wash basins are placed at different heights across the step. In this way, by locating the washbasins in two tiers, the upper and the lower, for example, if the lower washbowl is reserved for children, they can wash their face or hair in a comfortable position without using the higher washbowl. can do.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, if the washbasin is installed in different positions at the top and bottom, it is necessary to change the height of the counter to which the washbasin is fixed, and for this reason, the cabinet is also required to have a step. Therefore, in order to provide two wash basin positions, a dedicated counter and cabinet must be manufactured. Furthermore, depending on the size of the step, the counter may not be able to be manufactured in one piece, and it is necessary to fix the counter to the cabinet and seal the joints between both counters, making the installation work complicated.

As described above, the conventional washbasin in which the washbasin bowls are placed in two locations, one at the top and one at the bottom, requires changes to the design including the cabinet and counter, and there are also difficulties in constructability.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the need for design changes to peripheral equipment such as counters and cabinets, and to improve workability by providing a stepped portion on the rim itself that forms the washbasin bowl. do.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a rim that forms a ball continuously around the main body,
A vertically stepped portion is provided near the center of the rim located in front of the ball, and a high level portion and a low level portion are formed on the rim with the stepped portion as a boundary.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a washbasin device according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a main body 1 of the washbasin device is fixed to a wall surface A by providing a bracket or the like (not shown) on its lower surface. The main body 1 has a back guard 2 that stands up on the back along the wall A and a rim 3 on the front side.
A ball 4 serving as a water tank is formed inside the rim 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a drain port provided at the bottom of the ball 4, and is connected to a drain pipe (not shown).

The rim 3 has a stepped portion 6 approximately in the center thereof,
In the illustrated example, the entire left side is a high level section 7 and the right side is a low level section 8. Further, in addition to making the depth of the balls 4 uniform, the area corresponding to the low level portion 8 of the rim 3 can be made deeper to increase the amount of water stored.

In addition, a faucet 9 such as a hot water mixer faucet is fixed approximately in the center of the back guard 2, and by shaking the spout 10, the high level part 7 side and the low level part 8
Water can be absorbed to the side.

Furthermore, if the main body 1 with the stepped portion 6 on the rim 3 has a flat bottom surface 11, it can not only be fixed to the wall surface A with a bracket, but also be mounted on the cabinet C as shown by the dashed line in the figure. It is also possible to have a structure in which it is placed. In this case, the cabinet C that is generally used can be used as is, and there is no need to manufacture it with special specifications.

As described above, since the step part 6 is provided on the rim 3 and the left and right sides are the high level part 7 and the low level part 8, even if the height of the high level part 7 is adjusted to the standard height of an adult, the water At the same time as preventing splashes, the rim height is ergonomically suitable for washing the face, etc., and short people and children can use the low level part 8 side to wash their face and hair in an ergonomically suitable and comfortable way. It can be done in a posture. Furthermore, one washbasin can be used for both adults and children, and in particular, if the low level section 8 side is used, it is easy for adults to wash their hair. Additionally, if the shower head is provided as a water supply device and can be freely pulled out, it will be easier to wash the hair.

Furthermore, when installing, the bottom part 1 of the rim 3
If 1 is a flat surface, it can be easily fixed to a normal cabinet C as described above, and the work of fixing it to a wall A using a bracket is also easy.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another example, in which the right end of the rim 3 and the right half of the front surface of the main body 1 fixed to the cabinet C are the low level part 8, and the stepped part 6 is the high level part on the back guard 2 side. This structure is provided between the part 7 and the part 7. Further, the height of the back guard 2 is reduced, and the faucet 9 is fixed to a high level part 7 on the back side.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, even children and short people can easily wash their face and hair by using the low level section 8 on the right side.

Further, in FIG. 3, only the right half of the front surface is a low level part 8, and the right end part of the rim 3 is a high level part 7. In this example, both the left and right ends are high-level portions 7, so it is suitable for, for example, a case where the width dimension of the main body 1 is matched with the frontage dimension of the installation position. And high level part 7
This effectively prevents water from splashing onto the walls on the left and right sides of the installation position.

In each of the above examples, the use for face washing and hair washing has been described, but the use is not limited to such uses, but can also be used as a laundry washing tank or other multi-purpose water tank. For example, when using it as a washing tank,
When containers such as buckets are taken out and put in from the low level section 8, it is not necessary to lift the containers up high, making the work easier.

In each example, a partition wall 12 dividing the high level part 7 side and the low level part 8 side is installed in the ball 4 at a position corresponding to the front step part 6 as shown by the dashed line in FIG. It may be provided. Such a partition wall 1
2, it is possible to provide the same function as a double sink, which is particularly convenient for washing dishes.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the washbasin of the present invention, a vertical step is provided at the front of the rim of the washbasin main body, so that one of the left and right rims is lowered when viewed from the front. Therefore, one washstand can be used by both adults and short children, and by using the low rim side, even short people can wash their hands, face, and hair in a comfortable posture.

Furthermore, when using the tank as a washing water tank, by loading and unloading containers such as buckets from the low rim part, there is no need to lift the containers high, making work easier.

Furthermore, even if the washbasin device is installed on top of a cabinet, there is no need to provide a step in the cabinet itself to create a structure in which the heights of the bowls are different, and a cabinet of general specifications can be used as is.
