Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to an improvement of a mounting support for attaching a counter such as a washroom counter, kitchen counter, dining counter, etc. to a wall surface.

"Prior art" Figures 6 to 8 show a conventional mounting support 21.
7 and 8, the counter 22 is attached to the wall surface 23 using a mounting support 21 fixed to the wall surface 23. It will be done. A rib 24 is provided on the lower surface 22a of the end of the counter 22 in contact with the wall surface 23.
This rib 24 is formed in a downward shape at the end of the counter 22. In this conventional example,
Ribs 24 are provided on the lower surface of the rear end and right end of the counter 22. [See FIG. 6] The mounting support 21 for fixing the counter 22 to the wall surface 23 is attached to the fixing part 3 fixed to the wall surface 23.
2, a rib storage section 33 of the counter 22, and a support section 31 that supports the lower surface 22a of the counter 22. By fixing this mounting support 21 to the wall surface 23 using screws 30 or the like, a storage space 25 is formed between the rib storage section 33 and the wall surface 23 in which the ribs 24 of the counter 22 are stored.
The width of this storage space 25 (rib storage area 33 and wall surface 2
3) is made equal to or slightly narrower than the thickness of the rib 24, and the distance between the rib storage portion 33 and the wall surface 2
The structure is such that the rib 24 is sandwiched between the ribs 3 and 3 without any gaps.

"Problem that the invention attempts to solve" Counter 2 using conventional mounting support 21
2, the lower surface 22a is supported by the support part 25, and at the same time, the rib 24 is placed in the storage space 25.
This is done by inserting it into the rib storage section 33 and the wall surface 23 and sandwiching it between the rib storage section 33 and the wall surface 23 without leaving a gap. In other words, the force that presses the end surface 26 of the counter 22 onto the wall surface 23 is generated in the rib housing portion 33 by tightly inserting or force-fitting the rib 24 into the housing space 25.

However, since the counter 22 is generally molded from FRP, artificial marble, etc., dimensional errors during molding are large, and it is technically difficult to eliminate this. Therefore, the thickness of the rib 24 may be smaller than the width of the storage space 25. At this time, the counter 22 and the wall 23
[See Fig. 7], and a gap d was created, making the supporting state unstable and causing rattling, wobbling, etc.

Conversely, when the thickness of the rib 24 is too large than the width of the storage space 25, a situation occurs in which the entire rib 24 cannot be inserted into the storage space 25. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower surface 22a of the counter 22 and the support portion 31 of the mounting support 21 do not come into close contact with each other, which also causes the counter 22 to wobble. In this case, it is conceivable to perform dimensional corrections such as cutting on the ribs 24 at the construction site, but this is not practical because it not only reduces work efficiency but also may require too much cutting.

Most of the force that brings the counter 22 into close contact with the wall surface 23 is spent pressing the counter body 20, which accounts for most of the weight of the counter 22, against the wall surface 23. Furthermore, it is the upper surface portion of the counter 22 that is most required to be in close contact with the wall surface 23. However, the conventional mounting support 21 has a weak force for pressing the counter 22 against the wall surface 23. Therefore, even if the rib 24 is housed in the storage space 25 in a proper state, it is difficult to securely attach it. Furthermore, if the wall surface 23 or the end surface 26 of the counter 22 is not finished smoothly, it will be more difficult to bring the counter 22 into close contact with the wall surface 23.

In any case, with the conventional mounting support 21, the counter 22 could not be firmly attached to the wall surface 23 and could not be firmly supported.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention was made in view of the above problems, and relates to a counter mounting support that allows the counter to be securely attached to the wall surface and to be firmly mounted. be. The feature is that it is a mounting support for attaching a counter to a wall, which has ribs on the lower surface of the end in contact with the wall, and the ribs are connected between the fixing part fixed to the wall and the wall. It consists of a rib storage part that forms a storage space that is slightly wider than its thickness, and a support part that supports the lower surface of the counter, and the rib storage part has a lever that acts on the inner base end of the rib or its vicinity. A pressing tool for pressing the center portion of the lever is provided in the rib storage portion.

"Operation" By adopting the above configuration, even if the point of force for pressing the counter against the wall is located away from the top surface of the counter, the point of application of the force can be applied to the inner base end of the rib or Since it is in the vicinity, the force that brings the counter into close contact with the wall is applied at a position close to the top of the counter. Therefore, by applying the force that brings the counter into close contact with the wall surface at a position close to the top surface of the counter, the efficiency of force application is improved.

Additionally, the width of the storage space is made slightly wider than the thickness of the ribs on the counter to absorb dimensional errors, expanding the dimensional range of ribs that can be stored. Therefore, since the entire rib can be reliably accommodated in the storage space, the support portion of the mounting support and the lower surface of the counter can be reliably brought into close contact.

"Embodiment" (First embodiment) Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the mounting support 1 according to the present invention. using the counter 2 to the wall 3
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the mounting support 1. FIG.

A rib 4 is formed in a downward shape on the lower surface 2a of the counter 2 at the end thereof that contacts the wall surface 3.
A mounting support 1 for attaching this counter 2 to a wall surface 3 includes a fixing part 12 fixed to the wall surface 3.
and a wall surface 3 to form a storage space 5 slightly wider than the thickness of the ribs 4 of the counter 2, and a support section 11 that supports the lower surface 2a of the counter 2. In this embodiment, the rib storage portion 13 is a stepped portion that is bent and formed astride between the support portion 11 of the counter 2 and the portion 12 fixed to the wall surface 3. Then, by fixing the mounting support 1 to the wall surface 3 using screws 10 or the like, a storage space 5 for the rib 4 is formed between the step portion and the wall surface 3.

The rib storage section 13 is provided with a lever 6 that acts on or near the inner base end 4a of the rib 4 of the counter 2, and a pressing tool 7 that presses the center of the lever 6. The lever 6 in this embodiment is
It is a member with an L-shaped cross section that almost matches the inner shape of the rib storage portion 13, and the width of the bottom portion 6a and the upright portion 6
The height b is made slightly larger than the thickness and hanging length of the rib 4, respectively. Further, the pressing tool 7 is a bolt screwed into the rib storage portion 13.

Next, a method of mounting the counter 2 using the mounting support 1 of the present invention will be explained.

First, the mounting support 1 is fixed to the wall surface 3 on which the counter 2 is to be mounted. Generally, screws 10 or the like are used for this, but adhesives or the like may be used as long as the fixing strength is sufficient, or both can be used in combination. The fixing position and number of the mounting supports 1 are appropriately selected depending on the weight, dimensions, etc. of the counter 2.

Subsequently, the counter 2 is mounted on the wall surface 3 by placing it on the mounting support 1 from above. At this time, the lower surface 2a of the counter 2 is supported by the support part 11 of the mounting support 1, and the rib 4 is stored in the storage space 5. And the lever 6
is interposed between the rib 4 and the rib housing portion 13. In this state, when the center portion of the lever 6 is pressed by the pressing tool 7, the tip of the bottom 6a of the L-shaped member constituting the lever 6 comes into contact with the wall surface 3 first. As the pressure is further increased, the lever 6 rotates upward around the contact point P, and this time the upright portion 6
The upper end b contacts the inner proximal end 4a of the rib 4 or the vicinity thereof, and applies a pressing force to this part. In this way, by using the lever 6, the force that presses the counter 2 to the wall surface 3 can be applied at a position close to the top surface of the counter 2.

It is very difficult to attach a pressing tool 7 such as a bolt so as to directly press the inner proximal end 4a of the rib 4 or the vicinity thereof. In other words, the mounting support 1 has no choice but to be mounted at a position some distance downward from the support portion 11 of the mounting support 1. Therefore, when the counter 2 is pressed only with the pressing tool 7, the line of action of the force is far away from the top surface of the counter 2, and the efficiency of the force action is poor. Therefore, by interposing the lever 6 as in the present invention, the line of action of the pressing force approaches the top surface of the counter 2, so that the counter 2 can be reliably pressed against the wall surface 3.

Further, in this embodiment, since the lever 6 is in line contact with the rib 4, the pressing force acts evenly. Furthermore,
Since the width of the storage space 5 is made slightly wider than the thickness of the rib 4, the support part 11 of the mounting support 1 can always be brought into close contact with the lower surface 2a of the counter 2, and therefore horizontal support of the counter 2 is guaranteed. be done.

(Other Embodiments) FIGS. 3a and 3b show other embodiments of the lever 6. Figure a shows the standing part 6b of the lever 6.
A protrusion 16 is provided on the upper part of the counter to increase the efficiency of pressing the counter 2 onto the wall surface 3. In addition, in FIG. 1B, the lever 6 is shaped like a flat plate, and the lower end 17 of the lever 6 is engaged with a protrusion 18 or the like provided on the inner bottom surface 13a of the rib housing portion 13 of the mounting support 1. That is, when the center portion of the lever 6 is pressed by the pressing tool 7, the lower end 17 of the lever 6 becomes the fulcrum of the lever 6.

By the way, in the embodiments shown so far, the rib storage portion 13 of the mounting support 1 is formed into a stepped shape so that the wall surface 3
In all of the examples, the storage space 5 for the rib 4 is formed between the ribs 4, but if a step or groove is provided on the wall surface 3 side, the rib storage section 13 does not necessarily have a step shape. It's okay. For example, if a step 3a or groove 3b is formed on the wall surface 3 as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, and the width thereof is large enough to accommodate the rib 4 and the lever 6, It is also possible to configure the rib housing portion 13 and the fixing portion 12 of the support 1 to be substantially flush.

Furthermore, the ribs 4 are not provided seamlessly over the entire length of the end portion of the lower surface 2a of the counter 2, but may be provided at appropriate intervals. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, it is also possible to use the mounting support 1 in which the fixing parts 12 are formed on both sides of the rib storage part 13.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the mounting support according to the present invention, it is possible to press the counter and bring it into close contact with the wall surface. Therefore, there is no rattling, wobbling, etc., and the installation is very solid. In addition, since there are no gaps between the wall and the wall, there is no need to worry about water leakage or the accumulation of dirt, dust, etc.
Moreover, since the counter is supported in a reliable horizontal state, the function of the counter is not impaired in the slightest. Furthermore, the tolerance range for counter dimensions can be widened, eliminating the need for machining to correct dimensions, improving installation workability on site, and increasing counter production efficiency, among other benefits. It brings about
