DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the hand washing unit will be described with reference to the drawings. The hand washing unit of the embodiment is installed, for example, at the entrance of a residence, and when a person returns home, the hand washing unit can be used to prevent the introduction of causative agents (such as viruses) of infectious diseases (such as coronavirus infections) into the residence. [First embodiment]

[0016] A hand washing unit 11 according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. As shown in Figure 1, the hand washing unit 11 is installed in an entrance 12 of a residence. The entrance 12 has a dirt floor 13 and a floor surface 14 (floor surface) extending laterally (for example, horizontally) from a position rising upward from the dirt floor 13. In this embodiment, the hand washing unit 11 is preferably provided on the floor surface 14 of the entrance 12.

[0017] The hand wash basin unit 11 comprises a base plate 15 (back panel) extending in a direction along the wall surface 18 of the residence, a hand wash basin 16 provided at a position corresponding to the lower part of the base plate 15, a shelf 17 provided above the hand wash basin 16, and a cabinet 21 provided below the hand wash basin 16 and supporting the hand wash basin 16.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 3, the base plate 15 is formed in a flat plate shape and extends in a direction along the wall surface 18. The base plate 15 has a thin-walled portion 22 at its upper portion, which is thinned so as to receive the shelf 17. The base plate 15 is fixed to the wall surface 18 by a fastener 53 such as a screw. The base plate 15 is formed of, for example, a resin material, but may be formed of a metal material such as stainless steel other than resin. The base plate 15 has a first hole portion 19 at a position corresponding to the thin-walled portion 22, and a second hole portion 20 at a position corresponding to the lower portion of the base plate 15.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the hand washing basin 16 is provided in a position overlapping with the lower part of the base plate 15. The hand washing basin 16 has a hand washing basin main body 23, an automatic water tap type faucet 24 attached to a corner of the hand washing basin main body 23, and a drainage part 25 provided at the lower part of the hand washing basin main body 23. The hand washing basin main body 23 is formed into a bowl shape, for example, from ceramic or the like, and has an inverted trapezoidal shape when viewed from the side. The hand washing basin main body 23 has a front end part 26 and a rear end part 27 opposite to the front end part 26.

[0020] The shelf 17 is integrally formed from a metal material such as stainless steel. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the shelf 17 is fixed to the thin-walled portion 22 at the top of the base plate 15. Therefore, the shelf 17 protrudes from the top of the base plate 15 in a direction away from the wall surface 18. The shelf 17 has a flat shelf body 31, a fixing portion 32 extending from the shelf body 31 in a direction along the base plate 15 at a position where the shelf body 31 abuts against the base plate 15, a recess 33 provided in the fixing portion 32, a plurality of through holes 41 provided in the recess 33, a fixing member 34 fixed to the recess 33 and fixing the fixing portion 32 and the base plate 15 to the wall surface 18, and a decorative plate 35 adhered to the recess 33 so as to hide the head of the fixing member 34. The fixing member 34 is, for example, a screw.

[0021] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 32 extends in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the shelf body 31, that is, downward. Therefore, the shelf 17 has an "L"-shaped cross section. The fixing portion 32 is fixed to the thin wall portion 22 of the base plate 15. The shelf body 31 has a tip portion 36, a base portion 37 opposite to the tip portion 36, and an intermediate portion 38 located between the tip portion 36 and the base portion 37. The tip portion 36 and the base portion 37 are formed so as to protrude upward compared to the intermediate portion 38. More specifically, the tip portion 36 is formed obliquely with respect to the extending direction of the intermediate portion 38 so that the protruding height increases as it moves away from the intermediate portion 38. In other words, the tip portion 36 protrudes so that its installation height increases as it moves away from the wall surface 18. Similarly, base end 37 is formed obliquely with respect to the direction in which intermediate portion 38 extends so that the height of the protrusion increases with increasing distance from intermediate portion 38. In other words, base end 37 protrudes so that the installation height increases with increasing distance from wall surface 18.

[0022] 3, the recess 33 extends in the direction (lateral direction) in which the fixing portion 32 extends. The recess 33 has a plurality of through holes 41 for passing a plurality of fixing members 34 therethrough.

[0023] The decorative plate 35 is formed to have approximately the same size as the recess 33, and is formed with dimensions that allow it to fit snugly within the recess 33. The decorative plate 35 may be formed of a sticker that is the same color as the shelf 17. Alternatively, the decorative plate 35 may have a thin flat plate that is the same color as the shelf 17, and an adhesive surface provided on one side of the flat plate.

[0024] Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the dimension L1 from the wall surface 18 to the tip 36 of the shelf 17 is smaller than the dimension L2 from the wall surface 18 to the front end 26 of the hand washing basin 16. Therefore, the shelf 17 protrudes forward to such an extent that the protrusion of the shelf 17 is not noticeable when the user washes his / her hands. In addition, the dimension L1 from the wall surface 18 to the tip 36 of the shelf 17 is larger than half the dimension L2. This allows sufficient space to be secured for placing items on the shelf 17. Therefore, the dimensional relationship between the dimension L1 from the wall surface 18 to the tip of the shelf 17 and the dimension L2 from the wall surface 18 to the front end 26 of the hand washing basin 16 is, for example, the following formula 1. TIFF0007636790000001.tif1041 formula 1

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, cabinet 21 houses inside drain pipe 42 connected to drain 25 of hand wash basin 16 and automatic faucet unit 43 connected to faucet 24 of hand wash basin 16. Cabinet 21 is formed in a box shape from, for example, a wooden material. Cabinet 21 has a top plate 44 and a lid 46 that can be opened and closed via hinge 45. As shown in FIG. 3, top plate 44 has a first through hole 51 for passing automatic faucet unit 43 through and a second through hole 52 for passing drain pipe 42 through. A user can store small items in the storage space in cabinet 21. Cabinet 21 is fixed to wall surface 18 by a fastener such as a screw.

[0026] Next, a method of assembling the hand washing unit 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0027] First, the cabinet 21 is fixed to the wall surface 18 of the residence with a fixing device such as a screw. The cabinet 21 may be preassembled and fixed to the wall surface 18, or may be assembled on-site and fixed to the wall surface 18. As shown in FIG. 3, the base plate 15 is fixed to the upper side of the cabinet 21 with a fixing device 53 such as a screw. At this time, the fixing device 53 is passed through the second hole portion 20. A washer 54 or the like may be interposed between the fixing device 53 and the base plate 15 as necessary. The fixing portion 32 of the shelf 17 is abutted against the thin portion 22 of the base plate 15, and the fixing portion 32 and the thin portion 22 are fixed to the wall surface 18 using the fixing member 34. At this time, the fixing member 34 is passed through the through hole 41 provided in the fixing portion 32 and the first hole portion 19 provided in the thin portion 22. Furthermore, a decorative plate 35 is adhered to the recess 33 of the shelf 17 so that the head of the fixing member 34 is hidden by the decorative plate 35.

[0028] 4, the hand basin 16 is placed on the top plate 44 of the cabinet 21, and the hand basin 16 is fixed to the top plate 44 using a second fastener 55 such as a screw. A second washer 56 or the like may be interposed between the top plate 44 and the second fastener 55 as necessary. Furthermore, a drain pipe 42 is connected to connect the drain portion 25 of the hand basin 16 to a drain outlet 57 of the residence, and an automatic faucet unit 43 is connected to connect the faucet 24 to a water supply 58 of the residence. A lid 46 is attached to the cabinet 21 via a hinge 45, completing the assembly of the hand basin unit 11 (installation in the residence).

[0029] In addition, the hand washing unit 11 of this embodiment may be installed not only on the floor surface 14 of the entrance 12, but also in a toilet of a residence as shown in Fig. 5. Alternatively, the hand washing unit 11 may be installed in the dirt floor 13 of the entrance 12 as shown in Fig. 6.

[0030] According to this embodiment, the following can be said. The hand washing basin unit 11 includes a base plate 15 that extends in a direction along the wall surface 18 and is fixed to the wall surface 18, a hand washing basin 16 provided at a position corresponding to the lower part of the base plate 15, and a shelf 17 that protrudes from the upper part of the base plate 15 above the hand washing basin 16 in a direction away from the wall surface 18.

[0031] According to this configuration, because the hand washing basin unit 11 is provided with the shelf 17, various items can be placed on the shelf 17, such as placing rubbing alcohol for sterilization or virus removal, placing paper towels, etc. Also, the base plate 15 can protect the wall surface 18 from water droplets generated from the hand washing basin 16.

[0032] In this case, the dimension from the wall surface 18 to the tip 36 of the shelf 17 is smaller than the dimension from the wall surface 18 to the front end 26 of the hand washing basin 16 .

[0033] According to this configuration, shelf 17 does not get in the way when washing hands, and a structure that allows the user to easily wash their hands can be realized.

[0034] In this case, the shelf 17 has a flat shelf body 31, a fixing part 32 extending from the shelf body 31 in a direction along the base plate 15 at a position abutting the base plate 15 and fixed to the base plate 15, a fixing member 34 that fixes the fixing part 32 and the base plate 15 to the wall surface 18, and a decorative panel 35 that conceals the head of the fixing member 34.

[0035] According to this configuration, the head of the fixing member 34 can be hidden by the decorative plate 35. This can improve the appearance of the area around the shelf 17.

[0036] In this case, the shelf body 17 has a base end 37, which is raised so that its installation height increases as it approaches the wall surface 18. With this configuration, even if liquid such as water accumulates on the shelf body 17, the liquid can be effectively prevented from entering the back side of the base plate 15, i.e., between the base plate 15 and the wall surface 18, and damaging the wall surface 18.

[0037] In this case, the shelf body 17 has a tip portion 36, which is raised so that its installation height increases as it moves away from the wall surface 18. This configuration can effectively prevent an object placed on the shelf body 17 from climbing over the tip portion 36 and falling to the front side. Also, even if liquid such as water accumulates on the shelf body 17, it can effectively prevent the liquid from dripping to the front side (user side).

[0038] In this case, the hand washing unit 11 is installed above the floor surface 14 of the entrance hall 12 which has a dirt floor 13 and a floor surface 14 extending laterally from a position rising upward from the dirt floor 13.

[0039] According to this configuration, the hand washing unit 11 is installed on the floor surface 14, so that the user can wash their hands in the hand washing unit 11 after taking off their shoes. Therefore, in the current situation where infectious diseases (coronavirus infection) are prevalent, the user can wash their hands immediately after touching shoes that may have infectious disease causative agents (viruses, etc.) on them and immediately before entering a room. This effectively prevents the infectious disease (coronavirus infection) from spreading indoors.

[0040] In the following embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and illustrations or descriptions of parts common to the first embodiment will be omitted. [Second embodiment]
