Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a wash basin that can prevent ceramics from breaking and fragmenting during firing due to heat shock. The invention achieves this by designing a wash basin that can distribute stress effectively and limit stress concentration to low levels. This prevents the formation of recessed portions in the connecting portion between the outer lateral portion and the wash bowl portion, which can lead to stress concentration and result in fragmenting of ceramics. Additionally, the invention provides a wash bowl with a large capacity and a sharp appearance. Overall, the invention prevents ceramics from breaking and fragmenting during firing and improves the overall performance of the wash basin.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, there is a problem of a volume of the wash bowl portion becoming small.
In addition, there are many cases in which the design of a wash basin is required to look sharp in recent years.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]Hereinafter, a wash basin according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0034]As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a wash basin 10 according to some embodiments is configured to be supported by a supporting member 20, which is formed of a counter or the like, in a state where a peripheral edge portion of the wash basin 10 is mounted.

[0035]In some embodiments, when a user is positioned in front of the wash basin 10, a side close to the user will be referred to as a front side, and a side far from the user will be referred to as a back side (opposite side to the front side). A portion which is connected between the front side and the back side of the wash basin 10 will be referred to as the lateral side. In addition, a right-and-left direction when the wash basin 10 is seen from the front side will be referred to as a width direction X1, and a direction of the front side and the back side will be referred to as a front-and-back dire...

Abstract

A wash basin includes a wash bowl portion and an outer lateral portion that is connected to an outer peripheral portion of the wash bowl portion and has a lower end portion mounted on the supporting member. On a lower surface side of the wash bowl portion, each of recessed grooves is formed in a connecting portion between an outer peripheral surface of the outer lateral portion and the wash bowl portion.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a national stage patent application under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Application No. PCT / JP2017 / 043333, filed Dec. 1, 2017, which claims the priority of Japanese Application No. 2016-237151, filed Dec. 6, 2016, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a wash basin.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the related art, for example, a wash-basin shown in such as Patent Document 1 is known as a vessel-type wash-basin, which is provided in a state where a peripheral edge portion thereof is mounted on the supporting member such as a counter. The wash-basin of Patent Document 1 includes a wash bowl portion and an outer lateral portion which is connected to an outer peripheral portion of the wash bowl portion and of which a lower end portion is mounted on a supporting member.[0004]In such a ceramic wash basin, stress distribution i...
