Description

[Technical field]

[0001] Dishwashers are sold by various manufacturers, but none of them are suitable for the average household, and they do not have space in the small Japanese kitchen. They are also expensive, and although they are built into the kitchen system, that is a different matter. This Hover Dishwasher is designed for small kitchens. [Background technology]

[0002] Kitchens in Japanese homes are generally quite small, so by using a sink, it is possible to eliminate the most tedious part of the housework - washing dishes - making things easier for not only the housewife but everyone else, and it also frees up time for family get-togethers and for work or hobbies. DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Nowadays, the lives of ordinary people are very tough and everyone has to work to make a living. Even in couples who work or men and women who live alone, they leave the dishes in the sink and go out, and have to wash the dishes with their tired bodies and prepare meals. This used to be a daily routine, but now, after a meal, you just pick up the leftovers and put them in the sink, and they will be washed, sterilized, and dried. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] By eliminating the time spent working, coming home, preparing meals, and then washing, wiping dishes, and tidying up after a meal, which is the most unpleasant part of the day, people can rest their bodies and feel more relaxed. The sink is no longer a decorative sink, but a dishwasher and dryer. Effect of the Invention

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION

[0006] The sink is originally a place for cooking, washing ingredients, and washing dishes. Therefore, the sink is a revolutionary invention that was devised to turn the dishes left in the sink after meals into a dishwasher and dryer in a kitchen that is too small to fit a dishwasher. EXAMPLES

[0007] It is a dishwasher and dryer like no other before, which sprays strong water pressure and hot water all over the dishes from the hover, instantly washing away dirt, grease, etc., and then circulating heat to dry and sterilize the dishes in a short time, making it hygienic and safe. [Industrial Applicability]

[0008] By turning a small kitchen sink into a dishwasher, ordinary households can now enjoy a moment of relaxation after meals, and the dishwasher, a new type of machine that allows people to relax both mentally and physically, is something that cannot be used industrially and will make a great contribution.
