Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] Below the main body of the sink, there is provided an elevating device 5 capable of moving the main body of the sink up and down. This lifting device 5 assembles two rods 41 and 42 into a V-shape, makes the lower joint 6 of these two rods 41 and 42 rotatable, and the upper ends of the upper rods 41 and 42 are screwed. The lifting / lowering device main body 4 with the rod 61 inserted therein and the handle 8 for rotating the screw rod 61. [Effect] When the handle 8 is rotated, the distance between the upper ends of the rods 41 and 42 is increased or decreased. Then, the distance between the upper ends of the rods 41 and 42 and the connecting portion 6 becomes smaller or larger. Therefore, the sink body moves up and down. Since the main body of the sink moves up and down in this manner, the height of the top plate can be set to a height suitable for both tall people and short people. Also, even if the elderly person bends his or her waist, the sink can be operated by lowering the top plate of the sink so that the sink can be easily used.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sink.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, a sink has been composed of a sink having a top and a sink, a sink main body including a storage room provided under the top, and legs supporting the sink.

An ordinary sink is a square-cylindrical base that cannot be expanded and contracted vertically. However, the floor surface of a kitchen or the like is often an uneven surface instead of a horizontal surface. Therefore, if the sink is installed on this uneven floor, the sink moves easily and is difficult to use. Recently, there is a sink with leg that can be expanded and contracted under the sink to prevent the sink from moving even if it is installed on the uneven floor.

The conventional legs for correcting unevenness, which are attached to the sink body, can expand and contract by at most 2 to 3 cm, and the height of the sink body cannot be adjusted by these legs.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, it is easier to use the sink with the top plate up and down. For example, the height of the top plate of an ordinary sink is usually 80 to 85 cm, which is the most convenient height for a young housewife.

However, as the elderly person becomes older, the waist bends, and it becomes difficult to use the tabletop at a conventional height. Also, the height of the top plate of the optimal sink differs between tall and low people.

Therefore, if the height of the sink can be changed, it is convenient because the same sink can be used by old people and young people, as well as tall people and low people. The present invention has been devised in response to such demands. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a sink in which the height of the top plate of the sink can be easily changed.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and achieve the above object, and is a sink including a top plate having a top part and a sink part, and a storage chamber provided under the top plate. A sink comprising a main body and an elevating device attached below the sink main body and capable of moving the sink main body up and down, wherein the elevating device has two rods assembled in a V-shape, and The lower V-shaped connecting portion of the two rods is made rotatable, and the upper end portions of the two rods are connected by being connected by screw rods, and a handle for rotating the screw rods. And rotating this screw rod with the handle increases or decreases the distance between the upper ends of the two rods, so that the distance between the upper ends of the two rods and the lower joint is Lifting device that reduces or increases the distance Mounted on the floor, in which sink body rests on the upper end of the rod of the lifting device.

[0009]

[Action]

 In the lifting device used in the present invention, the two rods are assembled in a V-shape, and the lower joints of the V-shapes of the two rods are rotatable, and the upper ends of the two rods are It consists of a lifting device body connected with a screw rod and a handle that rotates this screw rod. When the handle is rotated to increase the distance between the upper ends of the two rods, If the distance between the upper ends of the rods and the lower joint is reduced, and conversely if the distance between the upper ends of the two rods is reduced, the upper ends of the two rods and the lower joint are The distance increases.

In the present invention, since the lifting device is installed on the floor, and the sink body is placed on the two rods of the lifting device, the screw rod is rotated by the handle to rotate the two rods. The distance between the upper end of the and the lower joint can be reduced or increased, thus allowing the sink body to move up and down.

In this way, since the sink body can be raised and lowered by rotating the handle, the sink of the present invention is easy to use for tall and low persons, and even for elderly people, the sink can be used. The sink is easy to use because the body can be lowered.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sink, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a main part of an elevating device for the sink shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the installation state of the raising / lowering apparatus of a sink.

1 to 3, A is a sink, and this sink A is composed of a sink body 1 and a lifting device 5. The sink body 1 comprises a top plate 2 and a storage chamber 3 provided below the top plate 2. The top plate 2 includes a top plate portion 21 and a sink portion 22. A door 31 is attached to the front of the storage chamber 3.

In the lifting device 5, the two rods 41 and 42 are assembled in a V shape, the joints 6 at the lower ends of the two rods are rotatable, and the upper ends of the two rods are screw rods. The lifting / lowering device main body 4 is connected and connected at 61, and the handle 8 is attached to one end of the screw rod 61.

Since the lifting device 5 has such a structure, when the handle 8 is rotated, the screw rod 61 is rotated, and the distance between the upper ends of the two rods 41 and 42 is increased or decreased. Or Then, the distance between the upper ends of the two rods 41 and 42 and the lower joint portion 6 becomes smaller or larger.

The sink body 1 is mounted on a seat plate 7 attached to the upper ends of the two rods. Next, a method of using the sink A will be described.

Install sink A on the kitchen floor. When the height of the top plate 2 of the sink A is not optimal for the user, the handle 8 of the lifting device 5 attached below the sink body 1 is rotated to raise or lower the height of the top plate 2. To optimize.

The method of raising and lowering the height of the top plate will be described in more detail. When the handle 8 is rotated, the upper ends of the two rods 41 and 42 slide on the lower surface of the seat plate 7, and the distance between the upper ends of the two rods 41 and 42 increases or decreases. Then, the distance between the upper ends of the two rods 41 and 42 and the lower joint portion 6 becomes smaller or larger. In other words, since the lifting device 5 is installed on the floor and the sink body 1 is placed on the lifting device 5, when the handle 8 is rotated, the distance between the floor and the sink body 1 becomes smaller or larger. Therefore, the sink body 1 is lowered or raised.

In this way, since the height of the top plate 2 of the sink body 1 can be optimally adjusted and used, the sink A can be used by both tall persons and short persons. It is easy to do.

When the height of the top plate of the sink A becomes difficult to use as an elderly person, the handle 8 can be rotated to adjust the height of the top plate 2 for use.

[0021]

[Effect of the device]

 As can be seen from the above description, the sink of the present invention can be used by adjusting the top plate to an optimum height, and is therefore easy to use for both tall and short people. Moreover, it is a very convenient sink because it can be used easily even by elderly people.
