Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When attaching side plates, horizontal plates, etc. to a reinforcing member fixed to a wall surface, it is necessary to work while pressing them toward the wall surface so that these members do not fall forward. When fixing a top plate and side plates to a wall surface, three members are connected using a three-sided fitting formed along the top plate, the side plates, and the wall surface. However, if there are many connection points, the number of three-sided fittings also increases, and there is a problem that they become conspicuous and the appearance deteriorates.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a wall-mounted structure that can be easily attached and suppresses the exposure of fixing portions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A wall-mounted structure according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a support member fixed to a rear wall surface, a vertical plate attached to the support member so as not to be movable forward and downward, a fixing member partially incorporated in the vertical plate, and a horizontal plate into which the fixing member is inserted and attached to the vertical plate so as not to be movable in the left-right direction.

[0008] (First Embodiment) Hereinafter, embodiments of the furniture described herein will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The following embodiments represent one aspect of the disclosure and are not limiting, and can be modified at will within the scope of the technical concept of the disclosure. In addition, in the following drawings, the scale and other aspects of each structure differ from the actual structure in order to make each structure easier to understand.

[0009] In the following embodiments, an example will be described in which the wall-mounted structure of the present disclosure is a washbasin unit. The X, Y, and Z axes are shown in the drawings as appropriate. The direction along the Z axis is the vertical direction. The direction along the X axis is one of the horizontal directions perpendicular to the vertical direction. The direction along the Y axis is one of the horizontal directions perpendicular to the vertical direction that is perpendicular to the X axis. In the following description, the direction along the X axis will be called the "front-back direction X", the direction along the Y axis will be called the "left-right direction Y", and the direction along the Z axis will be called the "vertical direction Z". In the vertical direction Z, the side to which the Z-axis arrow points is the upper side, and the side opposite to the side to which the Z-axis arrow points is the lower side. In the front-back direction X, the side to which the X-axis arrow points is the front side, and the side opposite to the side to which the X-axis arrow points is the rear side. In the left-right direction Y, the side to which the Y-axis arrow points is the right side, and the side opposite to the side to which the Y-axis arrow points is the left side. The left-right direction Y corresponds to the direction of intersection with the vertical direction Z.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the washbasin unit 100 of this embodiment comprises an upper unit 101 and a lower unit 102. The upper unit 101 and the lower unit 102 are mounted on the wall surface WS at a position above the floor surface FS. The upper unit 101 is positioned above the lower unit 102.

[0011] The upper unit 101 will now be described. The upper unit 101 includes a hanging bar 10 and an upper body 101A. The upper body 101A includes a plurality of side plates 20, a plurality of top plates 30, a plurality of bottom plates 33, a plurality of upper rails 34 as shown in Figure 2, a plurality of lower rails 36, a plurality of shelves 38, and a mirror (not shown). The mirror is installed on the front side of the upper unit 101. The hanging bar 10 corresponds to the support member of the claims. The side plates 20 correspond to the vertical plates of the claims. The top plates 30 and bottom plates 33 correspond to the horizontal plates of the claims.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 3, the hanging bar 10 is fixed to the wall surface WS. The hanging bar 10 is fixed to a stud (not shown) disposed on the rear side of the wall surface WS by a fixture such as a screw. The hanging bar 10 is disposed above the floor surface FS. The hanging bar 10 may be locked to a locking portion (not shown) locked to the wall surface WS or fixed to the wall surface WS with an adhesive. The method by which the hanging bar 10 is fixed to the wall surface WS can be set as appropriate.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, the hanging bar 10 is a long member that is long in the left-right direction Y. The hanging bar 10 is disposed over substantially the entire length in the left-right direction Y of the upper table unit 101.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the left-right direction Y, which is the longitudinal direction of the hanging bar 10, the hanging bar 10 is a substantially rectangular member. The hanging bar 10 has a first surface 111, a second surface 112, a third surface 113, and a fourth surface 114. The second surface 112 corresponds to the locking surface in the claims.

[0015] The first surface 111 is a surface facing forward. The first surface 111 is formed in a planar shape. The first surface 111 is disposed along the left-right direction Y and the vertical direction Z.

[0016] The second surface 112 is connected to the upper end portion of the first surface 111. The second surface 112 is located at the upper portion of the hanging bar 10. The second surface 112 is formed in a planar shape. The second surface 112 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. The second surface 112 extends so as to gradually go downward as it goes from the upper end portion of the first surface 111 toward the rear. The inclination angle of the second surface 112 with respect to the horizontal plane and the inclination angle with respect to the wall surface WS are preferably about 45°. The inclination angle of the second surface 112 with respect to the horizontal plane and the inclination angle with respect to the wall surface WS can be set as appropriate.

[0017] The third surface 113 is connected to the lower end portion of the first surface 111. The third surface 113 is located at the lower part of the hanging bar 10. The third surface 113 is formed in a planar shape. The third surface 113 extends rearward from the lower end portion of the first surface 111. The third surface 113 is arranged along the left-right direction Y and the front-rear direction X.

[0018] The fourth surface 114 is connected to the rear end portion of the second surface 112 and the rear end portion of the third surface 113. The fourth surface 114 is a surface facing rearward. The fourth surface 114 is formed in a planar shape. The fourth surface 114 is arranged along the left-right direction Y and the vertical direction Z. The fourth surface 114 abuts against the wall surface WS.

[0019] The connecting portion 116 between the upper end portion of the first surface 111 and the upper end portion of the second surface 112 is formed in a planar shape along the front-rear direction X and the left-right direction Y. The connecting portion 116 between the upper end portion of the first surface 111 and the upper end portion of the second surface 112 may be formed to be curved so as to be convex upward, or may be pointed.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of side plates 20 are arranged above the floor surface FS. The plurality of side plates 20 are arranged apart in the left-right direction Y. Six side plates 20 are provided, namely the first side plate 20a, the second side plate 20b, the third side plate 20c, the fourth side plate 20d, the fifth side plate 20e, and the sixth side plate 20f.

[0021] The first side plate 20a is the side plate 20 located on the leftmost side among the plurality of side plates 20. The second side plate 20b is the side plate 20 located on the rightmost side among the plurality of side plates 20. The third side plate 20c, the fourth side plate 20d, the fifth side plate 20e, and the sixth side plate 20f are arranged between the first side plate 20a and the second side plate 20b. The third side plate 20c, the fourth side plate 20d, the fifth side plate 20e, and the sixth side plate 20f are arranged side by side from left to right in this order, with intervals between them.

[0022] The first side plate 20a and the second side plate 20b are a pair of side plates 20 that form the portions of the outer wall of the upper unit 101 located on both sides in the left-right direction Y. The first side plate 20a forms the portion of the outer wall of the upper unit 101 located on the left side. The second side plate 20b forms the portion of the outer wall of the upper unit 101 located on the right side.

[0023] The side plate 20 is formed in a plate shape. The surface of the side plate 20 faces in the left-right direction Y. The side plate 20 is a roughly rectangular member that is long in the vertical direction Z. The shape of the side plate 20 can be set as appropriate.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the rear end surface 201 of the side plate 20 is in contact with the wall surface WS. As shown in Figure 4, a locking recess 21 is formed at the rear of the side plate 20, recessing forward from the rear end surface 201.

[0025] The locking recess 21 has a first surface 211, a second surface 212, and a third surface 213. The second surface 212 corresponds to the locking surface of the claims.

[0026] The first surface 211 is a surface facing backward. The first surface 111 is formed in a planar shape. The first surface 111 is arranged along the left-right direction Y and the vertical direction Z.

[0027] The second surface 212 is connected to the upper end of the first surface 211. The second surface 212 is formed in a planar shape. The second surface 212 extends inclined downwards as it moves backward from the upper end of the first surface 111. Preferably, the inclination angle of the second surface 212 corresponds to the inclination angle of the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10.

[0028] The third surface 213 is connected to the lower end of the first surface 211. The third surface 213 is formed in a planar shape. The third surface 213 is inclined so as it is directed towards the rear from the lower end of the first surface 111.

[0029] In the third side plate 20c, the fourth side plate 20d, the fifth side plate 20e, and the sixth side plate 20f, the locking recess 21 is formed to penetrate the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y. In the first side plate 20a, the locking recess 21 is formed to recess from the right side to the left and does not penetrate the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y. In the second side plate 20b, the locking recess 21 is formed to recess from the left side to the right and does not penetrate the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y. As a result, the locking recess 21 is not exposed on the left side of the first side plate 20a and the right side of the second side plate 20b. In the first side plate 20a and the second side plate 20b, the locking recess 21 may also be formed to penetrate the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y.

[0030] The connection portion 216 between the upper end of the first surface 211 and the upper end of the second surface 212 is formed in a curved shape that is convex upward. As shown in Figure 3, with the hanging bar 10 positioned in the locking recess 21, the shape of the connection portion 216 can be set as appropriate if the connection portion 116 of the hanging bar 10 is positioned below the connection portion 216.

[0031] The second surface 212 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 is in contact with the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10 and is locked in place. This prevents the side plate 20 from moving forward or downward. In the locked state, the first surface 211 of the locking recess 21 is in contact with the first surface 111 of the hanging bar 10. The third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 is positioned below the third surface 113 of the hanging bar 10. The rear end surface 201 of the side plate 20 is in contact with the wall surface WS. The side plate 20 divides the storage space inside the upper unit 101 in the left-right direction Y.

[0032] The method for locking the side plate 20 to the hanging bar 10 will now be described. As shown in Figure 4, the side plate 20 is moved backward from a height where the second surface 212 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 is slightly above the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10. The rear end surface 201 of the side plate 20 is brought into contact with the wall surface WS, and the side plate 20 is lowered so that the second surface 212 of the side plate 20 comes into contact with the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10. As a result, the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 is locked to the hanging bar 10.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1, both ends of the top plate 30 in the left-right direction Y are attached to the upper ends of a pair of side plates 20 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. Five top plates 30 are provided: the first top plate 30a, the second top plate 30b, the third top plate 30c, the fourth top plate 30d, and the fifth top plate 30e.

[0034] The left-right Y-direction ends of the first top plate 30a are attached to the upper ends of the first side plate 20a and the upper ends of the third side plate 20c. The left-right Y-direction ends of the second top plate 30b are attached to the upper ends of the third side plate 20c and the upper ends of the fourth side plate 20d. The left-right Y-direction ends of the third top plate 30c are attached to the upper ends of the fourth side plate 20d and the upper ends of the fifth side plate 20e. The left-right Y-direction ends of the fourth top plate 30d are attached to the upper ends of the fifth side plate 20e and the upper ends of the sixth side plate 20f. The left-right Y-direction ends of the fifth top plate 30e are attached to the upper ends of the sixth side plate 20f and the upper ends of the second side plate 20b.

[0035] The top plate 30 is located on top of the upper unit 101. The top plate 30 is formed in a plate shape. The surface of the top plate 30 is oriented in the vertical direction Z. The length of the top plate 30 in the front-to-back direction X is approximately the same as the length of the side plate 20 in the front-to-back direction X. Multiple top plates 30 are approximately rectangular members that are long in the left-to-right direction Y. The shape of the top plate 30 can be set as appropriate.

[0036] The mounting structure between the side plate 20 and the top plate 30 will now be described. As shown in Figure 5, the top plate 30 has fixing members 32. The fixing members 32 are fixed to the top plate 30 at two locations separated in the front-rear direction X. The fixing members 32 have a mounting portion 321 and a locking portion 322. The number of fixing members 32 can be set as appropriate.

[0037] The mounting portion 321 is built into the top plate 30. A mounting recess 302 that is recessed inward is formed at the left-right Y end 301 of the top plate 30. The mounting portion 321 is positioned and fixed in the mounting recess 302. The mounting portion 321 is fixed to the mounting recess 302 with a fastener such as adhesive.

[0038] The locking portion 322 protrudes from the mounting portion 321 toward the side plate 20. The locking portion 322 has a first locking portion 323 and a second locking portion 324.

[0039] The first locking portion 323 is connected to the mounting portion 321 and protrudes from the top plate 30. The second locking portion 324 is connected to the first locking portion 323 and protrudes further from the top plate 30. As shown in Figure 6, the first locking portion 323 and the second locking portion 324 are members with a shape that is elongated in the front-rear direction X. Both ends of the first locking portion 323 and the second locking portion 324 in the front-rear direction X are curved so as to bulge outward. Both ends of the first locking portion 323 and the second locking portion 324 in the front-rear direction X may be formed in a planar shape so as to be aligned with a vertical plane.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5, the vertical Z length dimension H1 of the first locking portion 323 is shorter than the vertical Z length dimension H2 of the second locking portion 324. As shown in Figure 6, the front-rear X length dimension W1 of the first locking portion 323 is shorter than the front-rear X length dimension W2 of the second locking portion 324.

[0041] A sliding hole 22 that is recessed inward is formed on the surface 202 of the side plate 20 that faces the top plate 30. As shown in Figure 3, two sliding holes 22 are formed on the upper part of the side plate 20. The number of locations where the sliding holes 22 are formed is the same as the number of fixing members 32.

[0042] The slide hole 22 is formed by an insertion hole 221 and a locking hole 222. The locking hole 222 is located on the rear side, continuous with the insertion hole 221.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6, the insertion hole 221 is elongated in the front-rear direction X. Both ends of the insertion hole 221 in the front-rear direction X are curved outward. The vertical length dimension H12 of the insertion hole 221 in the vertical direction Z is the same as or slightly longer than the vertical length dimension H2 of the second locking portion 324 of the fixing member 32 in the vertical direction Z. The vertical length dimension W21 of the insertion hole 221 in the front-rear direction X is longer than the vertical length dimension W2 of the second locking portion 324 of the fixing member 32 in the front-rear direction X. As a result, the second locking portion 324 of the fixing member 32 can be inserted into the insertion hole 221.

[0044] The locking hole portion 222 is formed by an edge hole portion 222a, a rear hole portion 222b, and an end hole portion 222c. The rear hole portion 222b is located on the rear side in the thickness direction of the side plate 20, continuous with the edge hole portion 222a. The rear hole portion 222b is located on the rear side of the surface 202, continuous with the edge hole portion 222a. The end hole portion 222c is located on the rear side, continuous with the edge hole portion 222a and the rear hole portion 222b. The rear side is the side of the side plate 20 opposite to the surface 202.

[0045] The vertical Z length dimension H11 of the edge hole 222a is shorter than the vertical Z length dimension H12 of the insertion hole 221. The vertical Z length dimension of the rear hole 222b is the same as the vertical Z length dimension H12 of the insertion hole 221. In the area where the edge hole 222a and the rear hole 222b are located, the vertical Z length of the hole is shorter on the side of the side plate 20 facing 202 than on the rear side.

[0046] The end hole 222c is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the left-right direction Y, and its front portion communicates with the edge hole 222a and the rear hole 222b. The diameter of the end hole 222c is equal to the length dimension H12.

[0047] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when the locking portion 322 of the fixing member 32 is positioned in the locking hole 222 of the side plate 20, the second locking portion 324 of the locking portion 322 is locked to the locking wall portion 223 of the rear hole 222b of the locking hole 222. The locking wall portion 223 is a wall portion that protrudes outward from the rear peripheral edge of the edge hole 222a. The locking wall portion 223 is the surface of the side plate 20 facing the rear. The second locking portion 324 of the locking portion 322 is locked to the locking wall portion 223 of the rear hole 222b of the locking hole 222. As a result, the movement of the locking portion 322 toward the surface 202 of the side plate 20 is restricted. The tip surface 324a of the second locking portion 324 is in contact with the rear surface 224 of the rear hole 222b. As a result, the locking portion 322 is restricted from moving the side plate 20 toward the rear. The side plate 20 and the top plate 30 are attached so that they cannot move in the left-right direction Y.

[0048] Fixing members 32 are fixed to both ends of the top plate 30 in the left-right direction Y. The fixing members 32 are engaged with the sliding holes 22 of the side plates 20 which are located at the ends of the top plate 30 in the left-right direction Y.

[0049] The method for attaching the top plate 30 to the side plate 20 will now be described. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the locking portion 322 of the fixing member 32 fixed to the top plate 30 is inserted into the insertion hole portion 221 of the slide hole 22 of the side plate 20 from the surface 202 side. In this state, the locking portion 322 can be pulled out toward the surface 202 side, away from the slide hole 22. The top plate 30 is moved backward to move the locking portion 322 to the locking hole portion 222 of the slide hole 22. The second locking portion 324 of the locking portion 322 is locked to the locking wall portion 223 of the inner hole portion 222b of the locking hole portion 222, and the locking portion 322 cannot be pulled out toward the slide hole 22.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1, both ends of the base plate 33 in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower ends of a pair of side plates 20 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. Five base plates 33 are provided: a first base plate 33a, a second base plate 33b, a third base plate 33c, a fourth base plate 33d, and a fifth base plate 33e.

[0051] The left-right Y-direction ends of the first base plate 33a are attached to the lower ends of the first side plate 20a and the third side plate 20c. The left-right Y-direction ends of the second base plate 33b are attached to the lower ends of the third side plate 20c and the fourth side plate 20d. The left-right Y-direction ends of the third base plate 33c are attached to the lower ends of the fourth side plate 20d and the fifth side plate 20e. The left-right Y-direction ends of the fourth base plate 33d are attached to the lower ends of the fifth side plate 20e and the sixth side plate 20f. The left-right Y-direction ends of the fifth base plate 33e are attached to the lower ends of the sixth side plate 20f and the second side plate 20b.

[0052] The base plate 33 is located at the bottom of the upper unit 101. The base plate 33 is formed in a plate shape. The surface of the base plate 33 faces the vertical direction Z. The length of the base plate 33 in the front-to-back direction X is approximately the same as the length of the side plate 20 in the front-to-back direction X. The multiple base plates 33 are approximately rectangular members that are long in the left-to-right direction Y. The shape of the base plate 33 can be set as appropriate.

[0053] A fixing member (not shown) provided on the bottom plate 33 is engaged with a sliding hole (not shown) formed in the side plate 20. The mounting structure between the side plate 20 and the bottom plate 33 is the same as the mounting structure between the side plate 20 and the top plate 30, and therefore will not be described.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2, the upper rail 34 is installed on top of a pair of side plates 20 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. There are five upper rails 34: the first upper rail 34a, the second upper rail 34b, the third upper rail 34c, the fourth upper rail 34d, and the fifth upper rail 34e.

[0055] The ends of the first upper rail 34a in the left-right direction Y are attached to the top of the first side plate 20a and the top of the third side plate 20c. The ends of the second upper rail 34b in the left-right direction Y are attached to the top of the third side plate 20c and the top of the fourth side plate 20d. The ends of the third upper rail 34c in the left-right direction Y are attached to the top of the fourth side plate 20d and the top of the fifth side plate 20e. The ends of the fourth upper rail 34d in the left-right direction Y are attached to the top of the fifth side plate 20e and the top of the sixth side plate 20f. The ends of the fifth upper rail 34e in the left-right direction Y are attached to the top of the sixth side plate 20f and the top of the second side plate 20b.

[0056] The upper rail 34 is positioned above the hanging bar 10. The upper rail 34 is positioned along the wall surface WS. The upper rail 34 is formed in a plate shape. The plate surface of the upper rail 34 faces in the front-to-back direction X. Multiple upper rails 34 are roughly rectangular members that are long in the left-to-right direction Y. The shape of the upper rail 34 can be set as appropriate.

[0057] At both ends of the upper rail 34 in the left-right direction Y, dowels (not shown) are provided that protrude outward from the end faces. The dowels on the upper rail 34 are inserted into and fixed into dowel holes 24 in the side plate 20 shown in Figure 3. In this way, the upper rail 34 is fixed to the side plate 20.

[0058] As shown in Figure 2, the lower rail 36 is installed on the lower part of a pair of side plates 20 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. There are five lower rails 36: the first lower rail 36a, the second lower rail 36b, the third lower rail 36c, the fourth lower rail 36d, and the fifth lower rail 36e.

[0059] The ends of the first lower rail 36a in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower part of the first side plate 20a and the lower part of the third side plate 20c. The ends of the second lower rail 36b in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower part of the third side plate 20c and the lower part of the fourth side plate 20d. The ends of the third lower rail 36c in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower part of the fourth side plate 20d and the lower part of the fifth side plate 20e. The ends of the fourth lower rail 36d in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower part of the fifth side plate 20e and the lower part of the sixth side plate 20f. The ends of the fifth lower rail 36e in the left-right direction Y are attached to the lower part of the sixth side plate 20f and the lower part of the second side plate 20b.

[0060] The lower rail 36 is positioned above the base plate 33. The lower rail 36 is positioned along the wall surface WS. The lower rail 36 is formed in a plate shape. The plate surface of the lower rail 36 faces in the front-to-back direction X. Multiple lower rails 36 are roughly rectangular members that are long in the left-to-right direction Y. The shape of the lower rail 36 can be set as appropriate.

[0061] The bottom rail 36 is provided with dowels (not shown) that protrude outward from the end faces at both ends in the left-right direction Y. The dowels on the bottom rail 36 are inserted into dowel holes (not shown) in the side plate 20 and fixed in place. In this way, the bottom rail 36 is fixed to the side plate 20.

[0062] As shown in Figure 1, the shelf boards 38 are mounted between each side board 20, with a gap of two boards vertically between them. The ends of the shelf boards 38 in the left-right direction Y are mounted midway in the vertical direction Z between the pair of side boards 20 which are spaced apart in the left-right direction Y. The shelf boards 38 are formed in a plate shape. The surface of the shelf boards 38 faces the vertical direction Z. The shelf boards 38 are roughly rectangular members that are long in the left-right direction Y. The shape of the shelf boards 38 can be set as appropriate.

[0063] The shelf board 38 is provided with dowels (not shown) that protrude outward from the end faces at both ends in the left-right direction Y. The dowels on the shelf board 38 are inserted into and fixed into dowel holes 25 in the side plate 20 shown in Figure 3. In this way, the shelf board 38 is fixed to the side plate 20.

[0064] When attaching the upper unit 101 to the wall WS, the side panels 20 are secured to the hanging bar 10. The top panel 30, bottom panel 33, upper rail 34, lower rail 36, and shelf 38 are then attached sequentially to the secured side panels 20.

[0065] As shown in Figure 1, an opening 501 is formed in the top panel 50 of the base unit 102. A washbasin (not shown) is installed in the opening 501. A door 51 is attached to the front of the base unit 102 so that it can be opened and closed. The side panel 52 of the base unit 102 is secured to the hanging bar 10 in the same way as the side panel 20 of the upper unit 101, and its description is omitted. The top panel 50, upper rail 34, lower rail 36, and shelf board of the base unit 102 are attached in the same way as the top panel 30, upper rail 34, lower rail 36, and shelf board 38 of the upper unit 101, and their description is omitted.

[0066] In the washbasin unit 100, the side panel 20 is attached to the hanging bar 10, restricting the forward and downward movement of the side panel 20. By inserting the fixing members 32 of the side panel 20 into the top panel 30 and bottom panel 33, the top panel 30 and bottom panel 33 are attached to the side panel 20 so that they cannot move in the left-right direction. The side panel 20, top panel 30 and bottom panel 33 can be easily attached, and the exposure of the fixing points can be suppressed because the fixing members 32 are not visible.

[0067] The side panel 20 of the upper unit body 101A is attached by locking the second surface 212 of the side panel 20 to the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10. The second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10 extends gradually downward as it is directed towards the rear. Since the side panel 20 is pulled towards the rear along the second surface 112, the side panel 20 can be easily attached.

[0068] At the rear of the slide hole 22, the vertical Z length dimension H11 of the edge hole portion 222a is shorter than the vertical Z length dimension H12 of the rear hole portion 222b. When the second locking portion 324 of the fixing member 32 is positioned at the rear of the slide hole 22, it will not come out of the slide hole 22. The top plate 30 and bottom plate 33 and the side plate 20 are connected without separating in the left-right direction.

[0069] A pair of side panels 20, spaced apart in the left-right direction Y, are connected by a top panel 30, a bottom panel 33, an upper rail 34, and a lower rail 36. The upper rail 34 and lower rail 36 increase the strength of the rectangular member formed by the pair of side panels 20, the top panel 30, and the bottom panel 33 when viewed from the front, and also suppress distortion.

[0070] If the hanging bar 10 is installed along the horizontal plane, the side plates 20 that are attached to the hanging bar 10 are installed along the vertical plane. The upper rails 34 and lower rails 36 attached to the side plates 20 are positioned along the vertical plane, while the top plate 30, bottom plate 33 and shelf boards 38 are positioned along the horizontal plane. The horizontal and vertical alignment of each component can be easily ensured, improving the quality of construction.

[0071] The second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10 is inclined at 45° with respect to the horizontal plane. This prevents the side plate 20 from tilting forward and allows the side plate 20 to be stably supported by the hanging bar 10.

[0072] The side panel 20 is a component that divides the internal storage space of the upper unit 101 in the left-right direction Y. The component that divides the storage space in the left-right direction Y can also be used as a component for attaching the upper unit body 101A to the hanging bar 10. There is no need to provide a separate component for attaching the upper unit body 101A to the hanging bar 10, which reduces the number of parts and improves ease of installation.

[0073] The upper unit 101 is elevated from the floor surface FS. This allows for easy assurance of the horizontal and vertical alignment of each component of the upper unit 101 without being affected by unevenness in the floor.

[0074] (Second embodiment) The mounting structure of the side plate in the second embodiment will be explained mainly with reference to Figures 9 and 10. In the description of the modified examples shown below, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those described above, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0075] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the hanging bar 10A has a first surface 111, a second surface 112, a third surface 117, and a fourth surface 114.

[0076] The third surface 117 is connected to the lower end of the first surface 111. The third surface 117 is located at the bottom of the hanging bar 10. The third surface 117 is formed in a planar shape. The third surface 117 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. The third surface 117 is inclined so as it moves backward from the lower end of the first surface 111, it gradually slopes downward.

[0077] An end face 118 is provided at the lower end of the third surface 117, aligning with the left-right direction Y and the front-back direction X. The end face 118 is aligned with the horizontal plane. The rear end of the end face 118 is connected to the lower end of the fourth surface 114. Alternatively, the end face 118 may be omitted, and the lower end of the fourth surface 114 may be connected to the lower end of the third surface 117.

[0078] As shown in Figure 9, with the second surface 212 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 locked to the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10, the third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 is positioned below the third surface 117 of the hanging bar 10 and is in contact with the third surface 117. The third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 may also be positioned below the third surface 117 of the hanging bar 10 with a gap.

[0079] A method for locking the side plate 20 to the hanging bar 10 will now be described. As shown in Figure 10, the side plate 20 is moved from a diagonal upward and forward direction relative to the hanging bar 10, to a diagonal downward and backward direction. The second surface 212 of the side plate 20 is guided by the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10, and the third surface 213 of the side plate 20 is guided by the third surface 117 of the hanging bar 10, so that the second surface 212 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 is locked to the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10.

[0080] In the washbasin unit 100, the side plate 20 is attached to the hanging bar 10A, restricting the forward and downward movement of the side plate 20. By inserting the fixing members 32 of the side plate 20 into the top plate 30 and the bottom plate 33, the top plate 30 and the bottom plate 33 are attached to the side plate 20 so that they cannot move in the left-right direction. The side plate 20, top plate 30 and bottom plate 33 can be easily attached, and the exposure of the fixing points can be suppressed because the fixing members 32 are not visible.

[0081] The lower part of the hanging bar 10A has a third surface 117 that slopes downward as it approaches the rear. This eliminates or reduces the gap between the third surface 117 of the hanging bar 10A and the third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20. The lower part of the hanging bar 10A and the side plate 20 become continuous, improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0082] The lower part of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 has a third surface 213. When locking the side plate 20 to the hanging bar 10, the side plate 20 can be moved from diagonally upward and forward relative to the hanging bar 10, and then diagonally downward and backward, thereby improving workability.

[0083] The third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 is positioned below the third surface 117 of the hanging bar 10 and is in contact with the third surface 117. When the side plate 20 and the upper base body 101A are kicked up or otherwise subjected to an upward external force, the side plate 20 and the upper base body 101A are prevented from lifting up and moving upward.

[0084] Preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described above with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that this disclosure is not limited to these examples. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are just examples and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.

[0085] In the embodiments described above, a washbasin unit was used as an example of a wall-mounted structure, but it is not limited to this. It could also be a kitchen unit in a kitchen, a cabinet in a dining room or living room, a TV stand in a living room, etc.

[0086] In the embodiment shown above, the upper unit 101 and the lower unit 102 are installed separately above the floor surface FS, but are not limited to this. The upper unit 101 and the lower unit 102 may be installed on the floor surface FS.

[0087] In the embodiment shown above, the hanging bar 10 is a long member that fastens six side plates 20 from the first side plate 20a to the second side plate 20b, but it is not limited to this. Multiple members of a length that fastens two or three side plates 20 may be installed. Alternatively, one hanging bar may be installed for each side plate 20.

[0088] In the embodiment shown above, the second surface 212 of the side plate 20 is locked to the entire surface 112 of the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10 in the left-right direction Y, but it is not limited to this. It is sufficient that at least a portion of the second surface 212 of the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y is locked to the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10. The length of the second surface 112 of the hanging bar 10 in the left-right direction Y may be shorter than the length of the second surface 212 of the side plate 20 in the left-right direction Y.

[0089] In the embodiment shown above, the first surface 111 of the hanging bar 10 and the first surface 211 of the side plate 20 are in contact, but this is not limited to the embodiment. A gap may be formed between the first surface 111 of the hanging bar 10 and the first surface 211 of the side plate 20.

[0090] In the embodiment shown above, the third surface 213 of the locking recess 21 of the side plate 20 extends downward as it approaches the rear, but is not limited to this. The third surface 213 only needs to be positioned below the third surface 113 of the hanging bar 10, and the inclination angle of the third surface 213 can be set as appropriate. The third surface 213 may also be a surface that follows a horizontal plane.

[0091] The upper rail 34 may be screwed to the intermediate stud. This helps to prevent the upper base body 101A from floating upward during an earthquake.

[0092] The upper unit 101 does not necessarily need to be provided with an upper rail 34, a lower rail 36, and a shelf board 38.
