Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to a built-in furniture unit that is built into the exterior wall of a house.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

When adding new furniture such as a bathroom vanity or storage shelf to an existing house, there may be cases where sufficient space is not available or where the installation needs to be significantly changed.

In order to solve these problems, built-in furniture units have recently attracted attention. This built-in furniture unit has a box-shaped frame with one side open, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-3088, and a washstand is set within this frame. Then, this furniture unit is set so as to face a predetermined opening made in the outer wall of the house, and its frame is fixed to the outer wall. Therefore, since the furniture unit can be set without protruding into the interior, almost no installation space is required, and installation does not require major changes to the house, such as securing passageways.

By the way, the frame of conventional furniture units has been significantly inferior in performance as a wall, such as heat retention and sound insulation, compared to the exterior wall of a house. In other words, because conventional frames have a single-wall structure using thin wooden boards or synthetic resin boards, they cannot achieve the same performance as the exterior walls of a house.

[Purpose of the invention]

The object of the present invention is to provide a built-in furniture unit having a structure capable of providing heat retention and sound insulation properties similar to those of the outer walls of a house.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention has a double wall structure consisting of an outer cover made of synthetic resin with an open front and an inner cover made of synthetic resin housed inside the outer cover, and there is a gap between the outer cover and the inner cover. A space is formed in the inner cover, and an opening is formed in the side of each cover to form a window, and the inner cover has a shelf and a receiver below the shelf to support the sink. This is a built-in furniture unit characterized in that the part and the part are protruded from the inner surface.

The first and second receiving parts 21 and 22 for supporting can be integrally molded at the same time when the outer cover 2 or the inner cover 3 is molded. That is, the opening 11, the shelf section 20, the first and second receiving sections 21, 2
2 need not be performed in a separate process from the molding of the covers 2 and 3, so productivity can be improved. Moreover, since the shelf section 20 and the first and second receiving sections 21 and 22 are integrally formed, not only is the appearance better than when they are separate units, but the number of parts can be reduced. .

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
For example, instead of having a mirror or sink inside, a furniture unit may have multiple shelves inside the inner case, or a top plate that can be used as a desk and can be held horizontally and rotated freely. The internal structure of the inner case is not limited in any way. Further, the outer case and the inner case may be formed of metal plates such as aluminum or steel instead of synthetic resin, and furthermore, only the outer case may be formed of a metal plate.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, the furniture unit has a double wall structure consisting of an outer cover and an inner cover, and a space is formed between the outer cover and the inner cover. Therefore, unit furniture with a double wall structure has superior heat retention and sound insulation properties compared to conventional single wall structure, and when incorporated into the exterior wall of a house, it improves the heat retention of the house. It does not significantly reduce the sound insulation properties. In addition, an opening is formed on the side of each cover to form a window, and a shelf and a receiving part for supporting the sink below the shelf are formed protruding from the inner surface of the inner cover. Therefore, since these can be formed simultaneously during cover molding, productivity can be improved. Moreover, since the shelf and the receiving part are integrally molded with the inner cover, not only is the appearance good-looking, but the number of parts can be reduced.
