Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention is intended to reduce the effort required to clean drains and garbage containers by suppressing and reducing slime that occurs in garbage containers installed in the drain of a sink or in garbage containers commonly called sink corners. [Background technology]

[0002] To dispose of food waste, garbage containers are installed in the drain of sinks, and sometimes they are used together with draining nets, but in order to prevent and reduce the slime that occurs there, chemicals are used and garbage containers are designed with improvements. Basically, food waste is disposed of by using a metal or plastic draining basket and draining net in the drain, but this invention develops a new draining net holder and uses only the draining net without a draining basket, thereby preventing and reducing the slime that occurs in the sink drain and making it easier to clean the sink. Because this technology uses only the draining net, it can also be applied to the draining net of a garbage container commonly called a triangular corner. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] Patent Publication No. 2022-108795 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Figure 1, we want to reduce the amount of slime that occurs inside the drain 2 of the sink 1, and make cleaning less of a chore. To achieve this, we need to take measures such as "reducing the amount of equipment used inside the drain 2 of the sink 1," "using materials that make it easy to remove slime from the equipment," and "creating a shape that reduces the area on which slime accumulates." [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Generally, a drain basket 3 and a drain net are used together in the drain 2 of a sink 1, but if only the drain net is used, food waste can be disposed of as it is in the garbage disposal as it accumulates, reducing slime. A holder is required to use only the drain net, and we will develop this holder. In developing the holder, we will pay attention to "using a material that makes it easy for slime to come off" and "reducing the area where slime can accumulate," and we will also deal with preventing the bottom of the drain net from touching the bottom of the drain 2 due to its weight when food waste accumulates in the drain net, causing slime to form. The same problem occurs with triangular corners, so this can also be applied to this solution. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The material and shape of the draining net of the present invention reduce the amount of slime, and the draining net filled with food waste can be disposed of as is, eliminating the trouble of cleaning after using the draining basket. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] In Figure 1, when the annular flange portion 3a of the drain basket 3 is engaged with the step portion 2a formed inside the drain outlet 2 of the sink 1, food waste will accumulate in the drain basket 3 or in a draining net attached to the inside of the drain basket 3. However, instead of the drain basket 3, a draining net can be used alone as a garbage container for food waste, and the draining net holder for this purpose is the subject of this invention.

[0009] <Example 1> In Figure 2, the drain net 4 is placed over the net retaining part 5, which is an annular flange, and then the middle of the drain net 4 is clamped and secured in place in the slit part 7a formed in the net squeezing part 7. In this set state, by replacing it with the drain basket 3 in Figure 1, the drain net 4 alone can be used as a garbage container.

[0010] The net squeezer 7 clamps and secures the draining net 4 to prevent food waste from falling out, and even if food waste accumulates on the draining net 4 and it becomes heavy, it will not come into contact with the bottom of the drain outlet 2.

[0011] If three or more pillars are attached under the annular flange of the net retaining part 5 so that it can stand on its own, it can be used as a triangular corner. Instead of pillars, the wall part 9 can also be made to the length of the pillars to stand on its own, and it can also be used as a triangular corner.

[0012] Figure 3 is a top view of Figure 2, but it is an explanatory diagram of how the stay 6 is made of wire and the slit section 7a of the net squeezing section 7 is formed. The draining net 4 is inserted into the slit section 7a from the direction of the arrow, and the draining net 4 is clamped to prevent food waste from falling. The draining net 4 can also be pushed into the circular part at the back of the slit section 7a and squeezed together. The draining net 4 can be removed by pulling it up, making it easy to dispose of food waste. In the figure, two draining nets 4 are drawn, but this is to explain how the slit section 7a can be used regardless of whether it is on either side of the stay 6. Making the stay 6 out of wire is more effective than making it out of plastic, etc., from the standpoint of "making it a material that is easy to remove slime from and reducing the area where slime can adhere."

[0013] Figure 4 is a side cross-sectional view of the top view of Figure 3. Generally, the opening at the top of the drain net uses rubber to provide a contracting function, but the opening of this rubber is locked by the wall 9, and the net is hung down in an open state via the net locking part 5. A part of the wall 9 is formed long downward and four stay support parts 6b are provided, which allows the position of the stay 6 to be adjusted up and down depending on the usage environment, and the stay 6 can be rotated to be folded. The folded state of this drain net holder is effective for transportation and storage as a product by making it small and thin. It can also be folded by applying a gripping force to the stay 6 and easily attaching and detaching it from the stay support part 6b.

[0014] The stay support part 6b does not necessarily have to be formed on the wall part 9, but may be formed above the net retaining part 5, or a through hole may be drilled in the net retaining part 5 and the tip of the stay 6 may pass through it to secure it. Also, not only one stay 6 is used, but two stays may be used to form a cross shape or a parallel shape when viewed from above, and even three or more stays may be used, and in any case, the shape can be considered as a measure to prevent food waste from falling by pinching or squeezing the draining net.

[0015] <Example 2> Figure 5 is an example made entirely of wire, but while the net retaining part 5 in Figures 2, 3, and 4 is plate-shaped, the one in Figure 5 is made of wire, which is effective in dealing with slime. It is made with a single piece of wire, as if it were a single stroke, but it is more effective to make the net retaining part 5 and stay 6 detachable.

[0016] <Example 3> In Figure 6, the dashed oval is the net retaining part 5 of the plate-like flange in Figures 2, 3, and 4, but in Figure 6, the arc-shaped protruding part at the top of stay 6 made from wire becomes net retaining part 5. When the opening at the top end of the drainage net is covered, the opening will not be a circle because it is supported by six net retaining parts 5. The net squeezing part 7 is plate-shaped and has three slits 7a, so the hanging drainage net can be retained at any of these three points. Stay clamping part 7b tightly clamps stay 6 at its slits, so the height of net squeezing part 7 can be adjusted by moving it up and down on stay 6.

[0017] In Figure 6, three stays 6 are used and their ends are joined at the bottom, but this is not a requirement and they can be independent. If the three stays 6 are straightened out to form three pillars, they can stand on their own, and if the net constriction section 7 is also enlarged accordingly to fit the three pillars, they can be used as a triangular corner.

[0018] <Example 4> Figure 7 shows a drainage net holder made in the shape of a plate rather than wire. The wall 9 in Figure 4, which runs around the circumference, is here formed of walls 9 in only four places. Therefore, when the rubber opening at the top of the drainage net is fastened here, it will be square when viewed from above, but because the net fastening part 5 is circular, the opening will be circular. The formation of walls 9 is not essential in the first place, but it is more convenient to have them when the rubber opening of the drainage net shrinks a lot.

[0019] The stay support part 6b is also the wall part 9, but it is in a fitting relationship with the stay locking part 6a, and can be fitted at two points, top and bottom. This allows the position of the net squeezing part 7 to be moved up and down, which is effective for adapting to the actual usage location.

[0020] In the above figures, we have described different materials and shapes for the stays 6 and the net tightening part 7, but the stays 6 are not limited to a fixed shape and can also be made of string or chain, and the net tightening part 7 can also be made of clips or hairpins, and a combination of these can be used to form a drainage net holder.
