Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] System washstands, system kitchens, etc.
When installing in an installation area surrounded on three sides by the front wall and left and right side walls, there should be a gap between the side edge of the counter such as a washstand counter or kitchen counter and the side wall surface due to manufacturing dimensional errors. often occurs.

This invention is easy to install and provides a sense of stability and excellent user comfort by attaching side tables to both ends of the counter and covering the gap between the side ends of the counter and the side walls. The present invention relates to a counter mounting structure that provides an aesthetic appearance and is convenient for use.

[Prior Art] Fig. 3 shows the installation situation of a conventional system washstand. When installing a system vanity in an installation area surrounded by walls on three sides, the front and left and right sides, as shown in the same figure, the frontage dimensions are usually set to match the spacing between the two walls 2, 2. A washstand counter 3 is prepared and placed on a pair of floor cabinets 4, 4 placed on the left and right sides of the installation area.
The washstand counter 3 is supported and fixed to the front wall 1 with a bracket or the like.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional mounting structure of the washstand counter 3, the washstand counter 3 is attached to both side walls 2,
Since it is necessary to match the spacing of 2, strict dimensional accuracy is required during manufacturing. However, the distance between the constructed side walls 2, 2 may not be as designed, and it is difficult to completely eliminate dimensional errors when manufacturing the counter 3. In such a case, if the frontage dimension of the counter 3 is longer than the wall spacing, the side edges of the counter 3 must be adjusted by cutting or cutting at the construction site. On the other hand, when the width of the counter 3 is short, a gap d is created between the side edge of the counter 3 and the side wall 2, which must be filled with a sealing material such as silicone resin. However, since the area around the counter 3 is a humid environment, the sealing material tends to grow mold, and there are also problems such as the adhesion of dirt and discoloration of the sealing material due to aging.

In any case, the conventional counter mounting structure has very poor construction efficiency, and the above-mentioned waterproofing impairs the finished appearance. The above-mentioned problem is not unique to bathroom vanities, but also applies to the installation of other counters, such as kitchen counters in system kitchens.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a counter mounting structure devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its feature is that both side walls are installed in the installation area surrounded on three sides by the front wall and the left and right side walls. When installing a counter with a width shorter than the spacing between the counters, armpit tables are provided that can adjust the degree of coverage for both ends of the counter, and each armpit table has a width smaller than the top surface of the counter. A table board positioned high, a front side plate with a lower edge that matches the upper surface of the counter, and a leg side plate that has leg ends positioned lower than the lower back surface of the counter and is in contact with the side wall of the installation area. , a mirror plate provided on the front surface of the front side plate and the leg side plate, a bracket extending laterally from each leg side plate to a position directly below the lower edge of the front side plate, and a mirror plate provided at the end of each bracket and attached to the front side plate. The vise screw tightens and holds the side end of the counter between the lower edge and the cross section is shaped like a toad vise with legs.

[Function] By adopting the above means, the gap between both side ends of the counter and both side walls is covered by the armpit table and visually shielded, so the gap can be filled with the sealing material. This process is no longer necessary. In addition, even if the size of the gap changes due to construction errors on both side walls or manufacturing dimensional errors in the counter, the degree of coverage can be easily maintained by appropriately storing the side edges of the counter inside the armpit table. Since the gap can be adjusted easily and reliably, the gap can be covered easily and reliably. moreover,
By tightening with vise screws, the lower edge of the front plate of the armpit table is crimped onto the top surface of the counter, resulting in excellent watertightness and reliable water leakage prevention. Moreover, since both ends of the counter are supported by side tables, the counter is installed in a sturdy, reliable and stable state. Furthermore, the table surface of the armpit table is
It is convenient for placing small items such as toiletries and cooking utensils, but since the table surface is one step higher than the counter, it is especially convenient for placing items that you do not want to leak into water.

[Example] Fig. 1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to the installation of a system washstand in an installation area surrounded by a front wall 1 and left and right side walls 2, 2. be.

The system washstand includes a counter 3 supported and fixed to the front wall 1 with brackets (not shown), cabinets 4, 4 arranged on the left and right sides of the installation area, and attached to both ends of the counter 3. It consists of 5,5 side tables. The width of the counter 3 is set to be slightly shorter than the distance between the side walls 2, 2, so that both ends of the counter 3 can be covered by side tables 5, 5. The feature of the present invention is that the armpit table 5,
It is in the structure of 5.

FIGS. 2a and 2b are a front partial sectional view and a side partial sectional view, respectively, of the armpit table 5 used in this example. The main body of the armpit table 5 is formed by a table surface plate 5a, a front side plate 6, a leg side plate 7, and a mirror plate 5b, and is approximately box-shaped with an open bottom and back surface. The side edges of the counter 3 are appropriately adjusted and accommodated in the main body of the box-shaped armpit table 5 so that the upper surface of the side edges can be covered. The table board 5a is positioned one step higher than the upper surface of the counter 3. The surface plate 6 has its lower edge 6
A is formed in a shape that matches the upper surface of the side end portion of the counter 3 including the top plate portion, back portion, and apron portion. The leg side plate 7 has its back surface in contact with the side wall 2 of the installation area, and its leg end 7a is positioned considerably lower than the lower back surface of the counter 3 and is in contact with the upper surface of the cabinet 4 so as to stand on it. Note that mirror plates 5b are attached to the front surfaces of the front side plate 6 and the leg side plates 7, so that the inside of the main body of the armpit table 5 cannot be seen from the outside. By the way, an appropriate number of brackets 8, 8 are attached to the inner surface of the leg side plate 7 with screws 9, 9, etc., and the ends of the brackets 8, 8 extend until they reach just below the front side plate 6. A vise screw 10, 10 is attached to the end. There is a disk-shaped stopper 10a at the tip of the vise screws 10, 10. Since the armpit table 5 is formed as described above, its shape in cross section looks like a toad vise with legs, as is clear from FIG. 2a.

To install counter 3, select the counter 3.
After temporarily attaching the armpit tables 5, 5 to both ends of the counter 3 and supporting and fixing the counter 3 to the front wall 1, move the leg side plates 7 of the armpit table 5 so that they come into close contact with the side wall 2, and then Tighten vise screw 10. Then, both ends of the counter 3 are connected to the lower edge 6a of the front plate 6 of the armpit table 5, 5 and the stop 10a of the vise screw 10.
The lower edge 6a of the front side plate 6 is in close contact with the upper surface of the counter 3. The counter 3 placed in this state has its back side supported by the front wall 1, and both side ends of the counter 3 supported by the side tables 5 and 5.
The installation is held very stable and sturdy.

Note that it is desirable that the armpit table 5 has water resistance. In particular, the front plate 6 is required to be water resistant since it is easily exposed to splashing water during use. Therefore, although decorative plywood may be used for the table top plate 5a, mirror plate 5b, leg side plate 7, etc., it is preferable to use a water-resistant material such as synthetic resin or artificial marble for the front side plate 6. Of course, it is also possible to form the entire main body of the armpit table 5 from a water-resistant material. Furthermore, if necessary, a packing 11 made of rubber or closed foam resin can be interposed between the lower edge 6a of the front plate 6 of the armpit table 5 and the upper surface of the counter 3. effective in preventing water leakage into the interior of the

In the above embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 a and b, the armpit table 5 is placed on the cabinet 4, but the cabinet 4 is not an essential requirement of the present invention. . That is, there may be cases where the cabinet 4 is not used. In that case, the leg side plate 7 of the armpit table 5 is made taller by an amount corresponding to the height of the cabinet 4, and the leg end 7a is brought into direct contact with the floor surface of the installation area. 3 should be installed.

Although an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a system bathroom vanity has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to other counter mounting structures such as system kitchens.

[Effects of the invention] The counter mounting structure according to the invention exhibits the excellent effects listed below.

The counter side edge can be stored inside the armpit table and the degree of coverage can be adjusted appropriately, so even if there is a large dimensional error during counter manufacturing, the counter side edge can be easily and reliably fixed. It can cover the gap between it and the side wall. Therefore, if a counter with a frontage dimension shorter than the distance between both side walls of the installation area is prepared in advance, there is no need for adjustment work such as cutting or cutting at the construction site, and construction efficiency is greatly improved. Furthermore, since the dimensional accuracy when manufacturing the counter can be moderate, it also contributes to improving the production efficiency of the counter.

By tightening the vise screws provided on the brackets extending inward from the leg side plates of the armpit table, the lower edge of the front side plate is brought into close contact with the top surface of the counter, so there is a gap between the armpit table and the counter. has excellent watertightness. Therefore, the effect of preventing water leakage between the counter side end and the side wall is great.

In addition to being supported by the front wall in the usual way, the counter is also supported by side tables at both ends, so the installed state is sturdy and extremely stable.

Since the gap between the counter side edge and the side wall is covered by the armpit table, there is no need for filling the sealant, which was conventionally done. Therefore, the burden of counter mounting work is reduced, and at the same time, conventional problems such as discoloration of the sealing material and generation of mold are eliminated. Also, the armpit table is
Since it prevents splashed water and the like from reaching the side walls, it is highly effective in preventing contamination when the surfaces of the side walls have a high-quality finish such as cloth lining.

It is convenient to place small items such as toiletries when washing or cooking utensils when cooking on the table surface of a side table, but since the table surface is positioned one step higher than the top surface of the counter, It is convenient to use because it allows you to place items that need to be protected from water leakage, such as a storage box for clothes.
