Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sanitary unit having a storage function.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional sanitary unit of this type has a ceiling 1o7. Wall 102. A bathtub 104°, a toilet bowl 1o6. Parts such as a washbasin 106 are arranged, and the ceiling 101 is equipped with assembly, piping, etc.
It was provided with an inspection port 107 for use in wiring checks, etc.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the sanitary unit had only three functions: bathing, washing, and toileting. However, due to the recent housing situation, there is a demand for more space to store things, and there are also proposals for storage that uses space under the floor or in the ceiling.

By the way, it is conceivable to provide a storage space under the ceiling of the sanitary unit, but in this case, the ceiling of the sanitary unit is at a height of just under 2 meters from the floor, so there was a problem in that chairs would have to be brought in from other rooms.

The present invention solves these problems by making it easy to take things in and out of the attic storage.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the sanitary unit of the present invention is provided with a storage section in the ceiling, and a flush toilet is arranged directly below the opening in the ceiling.

Function In the sanitary unit of the present invention having the above configuration, the ceiling opening and the flush toilet face each other, so when taking things in and out of the storage installed around the ceiling opening, it is necessary to stand on the flush toilet. This makes it easier to put things in and take them out.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is a floor, and a flush toilet 2 is attached to a predetermined position. 3 is a bathtub, a wall 4 is built between the bathtub 3 and the floor 1, and a ceiling 6 is further fixed to the wall 4 to form a unit. The unit includes 6 mirrors and 7 washbasins. Equipped with low tank 8 etc., it becomes a sanitary unit. An opening 9 is formed in the ceiling 6 almost directly above the flush toilet 2, and the opening 9 is opened and closed by a lid 10. The lid 10 and the ceiling 6 are fixed by a hinge 11, which serves as a fulcrum for opening and closing operations, and when the lid is closed, the hinge 1
The lid 1o is fixed to the ceiling 5 by a stopper (not shown) provided on the opposite side of the lid 1o. 12 is the ceiling of the building frame, and a storage 13 is installed in the space between it and the ceiling 6 of the sanitary unit. The storage compartment 13 has a sliding door 14
is attached. Reference numeral 15 denotes a lighting device which is turned on and off by a switch 16 provided indoors.

In the above configuration, when putting things in and out of the storage 13 installed on the back side of the ceiling 5 of the sanitary unit,
The work procedure is as follows. That is, the operator first stands on the flush toilet bowl 2, rotates and removes the stopper 10a of the lid 10, and the lid 10 opens downward under its own weight. Next, the user inserts his or her head and hand or only the hand into the opening 9 formed in the ceiling, opens the door 14 of the storage 13, and takes items into and out of the storage 13. When that work is completed, close the lid by reversing the steps above.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when putting things in and out of the storage compartment 13, there is no need to take the trouble of bringing a step stool from another place, and it is easy to stand on the flush toilet bowl 2 and take things in and out. You can see the effect of being able to put in and take out things.

In the above embodiment, the unit is a sanitary unit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effects of the present invention can also be achieved even if the unit is a toilet unit.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the present invention provides the following effects.

Because the flush toilet and the ceiling opening are facing each other, when putting things in and taking them out of the storage space installed on the back of the ceiling,
Since you can work while standing on the flush toilet, you can easily put things in and take them out.
