DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom counter, and more particularly to a bathroom counter suitable for improving convenience, safety and design in using the bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a counter provided in a bathroom has generally been formed in a box shape so as to protrude into the bathroom, and has a shape in which an upright surface on the front side is planar. Separately from the counters, bathrooms having basin counters, which can be used by placing basins above the floor, are increasing. The basin counter eliminates the need to bend down when using the basin, and reduces the burden on the body, especially for the elderly and disabled.

On the other hand, the storage in a conventional bathroom is often provided on the wall surface above the counter or below the counter, and some of the storages are formed by forming a part of the front side of the counter into a concave shape. .

[0004]

A conventional bathroom counter is formed in a box shape so as to protrude into a bathroom so that small articles can be placed on the upper surface and used, and an upright surface on the front side is formed in a planar shape. In general, the space inside the counter was dead space.

[0005] In addition to the above, in addition to the above, there is a conventional bathroom counter which is installed as a basin counter which is used by placing a basin at a position higher than the floor. Regarding the arrangement in the case of the configuration, the storage is often provided on the wall surface above the counter or below the counter, and some of the storages are formed by forming a part of the front side of the counter into a concave shape.

However, since the storage in the above is generally installed at a position away from the arrangement of the counter and the faucet fittings, the use of the faucet fittings and the operation accompanying the removal of the stored items are performed. In addition, there is a problem that it is necessary to perform an operation of standing up and stretching the body, and particularly when handling them while taking a shower, it is difficult to grasp the mutual positions, and it is difficult to perform the operation.

Further, in a conventional bathroom, the storage is generally installed at a position away from the faucet fittings, so that small articles used in the bathroom, especially those used in a sitting position, are used. Are often placed on a counter, which may not only be washed away by hot and cold water, but also make the periphery of the counter complicated and unfavorable in design.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom counter suitable for improving convenience, safety and design in using a bathroom. To provide.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention according to claim 1 relates to a counter installed in a bathroom, wherein the counter is an upper counter and a basin counter for placing a basin. , A built-in faucet, and a storage tray, the basin counter is configured vertically below the upper counter, the storage tray is configured vertically between the upper counter and the basin counter, and the embedded faucet is It is attached to the front center approximately at the center, and the storage tray is provided on both sides or one side of the embedded faucet at substantially the same height as the embedded faucet, and the back of the storage tray is almost the same as the back of the upper counter It is characterized in that it is hung above and installed.

[0010] According to the present invention, the counter is conventionally formed in a box shape and protrudes into the bathroom, and the upright surface on the front side is configured to be flat. By providing the storage tray on one side at substantially the same height as the embedded faucet, the space which has been a dead space in the past can be effectively utilized as the storage space.

[0011] Further, according to the above configuration, when the washbasin is placed on the basin counter and the washing is performed on the chair or the like toward the counter, the position of the faucet or the storage tray is higher than the basin. It can be placed at a comfortable height in a sitting position.

Operation of the stopper,
Further, a series of operations relating to handling of stored items can be smoothly performed. In particular, regarding use when the eyes are closed such as when taking a shower, the mutual positional relationship can be easily grasped, so that the convenience is improved.

[0012] Further, the storage tray is provided adjacent to the position of the faucet fitting, so that the small articles conventionally placed on the counter are stored in the storage tray, and the small articles on the counter with hot and cold water are stored. Kinds are not washed away. In addition, the periphery of the counter does not become complicated, and the design becomes favorable.

According to the present invention, since the bottom surface of the storage tray is inclined downward toward the rear of the counter, the stored items are less likely to fall into the bathroom.

Further, the counter is characterized in that a drain hole is provided near the lowest position on the bottom surface of the storage tray. Drop on the top of the container counter. In this case, it is not necessary to bend down when cleaning a portion that is contaminated with hot and cold water, as compared with a case in which there are no counters below and water is directly dropped on the upper surface of the floor, so that the cleaning performance is improved.

Further, the embedded faucet is attached to a substantially central portion of the front surface of the upper counter, and the storage tray is provided on both sides or one side of the embedded faucet and at substantially the same height as the embedded faucet. When the basin is placed and used substantially at the center of the basin counter, hot water does not drip into the basin from the drain hole provided in the upper storage tray.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the bathroom counter according to the first or second aspect, the storage tray can be removed.
