AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Sponges placed on bathroom sinks become wet quickly, leading to inefficiencies in washing and hygiene issues, and there is a need for a solution that prevents water accumulation and maintains sponge dryness while providing a hygienic surface for facial washing.

Method used

A sponge holder with anti-slip surfaces, drainage holes, and feet made of polypropylene, designed to keep the sponge dry and stable, featuring a seat with anti-slip mats and legs to prevent tipping.

Benefits of technology

The design effectively maintains sponge dryness, prevents water accumulation on the sink, and enhances hygiene by using antiseptics and mildew inhibitors, ensuring a stable and clean washing experience.

Abstract

The area where water collects in the sink gets very dirty. If you use a sponge to wash it, the wet sponge gets wet and takes a long time to dry. Solution: All materials are polypropylene. The area where the sponge is placed directly is called the "seat." The seat is 12.5 cm wide, 8 cm long, and 3 mm thick. To allow for better drainage of water, 15 holes with a radius of 9 mm are drilled into the seat. Attach a non-slip coating 2mm thick and 3mm high to the entire surface of the seat edge. There are feet attached to the underside of the four corners of the seat. For the legs, place the circular part of a hemisphere with a radius of 11 mm on the bottom, cut it vertically 7 mm above the center, and cut it along a plane parallel to the first circular part, discarding the smaller part. Let the center of the larger circle be point O and the center of the smaller circle be point P. Cut the intersection of the two planes that intersect at right angles into four pieces along the line connecting points O and P, and this creates the legs at the four corners of the seat.

[Technical Field] Regarding the sponge holder on the bathroom sink

[0002] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The place where we placed the sponge on the sink was prone to getting wet, and even after it dried it would get wet again quickly, so we had to be creative. It's also unpleasant to wash your face in a slimy sink with water. It feels good to wash the sink and then wash your face with a clean sponge, but if you put it somewhere other than the sink, the sponge will get wet, so it's a hassle to go back and get it. So if you wash with running water, you waste water and can't wash properly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The holes, slip-resistant parts, and feet are made in the initial mold. The material of this product is polypropylene. The area where the sponge is placed is called the "seat." The seat is 12.5 cm wide, 8 cm long, and 3 mm thick, and is made of white polypropylene. A 3mm high, 2mm wide anti-slip mat is placed on the upper edge of the seat, around the entire circumference. Fifteen 9mm diameter holes are drilled in the seat.

[0005] Attach the following feet to the underside of the four corners of the seat. First, let us call the round flat surface of the polypropylene hemisphere at the center point O of the hemisphere with a radius of 11 mm the first cut. The center of the first cut circle is point O, and the center of the next smaller circle is point P. With this first cut edge facing downwards, cut a plane parallel to the first cut edge from point P, which is 7 mm below a line drawn perpendicularly upward through the center point O of the circle on the first cut edge, and discard the smaller part of the cut. Cut the hemisphere into two halves with a plane that passes through the center O of the first cut, is perpendicular to the first cut, and also passes through point P. We will call the cut made in this way the second cut. Cut one of the two pieces along a plane that passes through the center O of the circle at the first cut and is perpendicular to the second cut. Now you have two legs. Similarly, cut the other part into two pieces, so you now have four legs.

[0006] All line segments or arcs should be rounded and smoothed. When washing your face, there is less danger even if the sponge stand accidentally tips over. It could be described as a coaster with holes, feet, and anti-slip surfaces. Furthermore, the polypropylene material is mixed with antiseptics, mildew inhibitors, antibacterial agents and deodorizers to make the sponge stand with legs hygienic. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] Elevation [Figure 2] Floor plan [Figure 3] Cross section of the foot DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The anti-slip surface is to prevent the sponge from spilling out of the seat, the holes in the seat are to allow the sponge to dry easily if it gets a little wet, and the feet are to prevent the sponge from getting wet if it gets a little wet. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] The holes, slip-proofing, and feet are made in the first mold. The material of this product is polypropylene. The area where the sponge is placed is called the seat. The seat is a rectangle measuring 12.5 cm wide, 8 cm long, and 3 mm thick. Attach a non-slip surface 2mm thick and 3mm high to the entire edge of the front side of the seat. Drill 15 holes of 9mm diameter evenly in the seat. This sponge stand has 7mm high legs attached to the underside of the four corners of the seat. The circular portion passing through the center point O of the hemisphere with a radius of 11 mm is called the first cut. Let the center of the small circle described below be point P. With this first cut edge facing downwards, a plane is drawn that passes through the center point O of the circle of the first cut edge and extends perpendicularly upward to the first cut edge, i.e., through point P, 7 mm from point O, below the line, and is parallel to the first cut edge. Discard the smaller part of the cut. The legs are shaped like this: The hemisphere is cut into two halves by a plane that passes through the center O of the first cut, is perpendicular to the first cut, and also passes through point P. The cut made at this point will be called the second cut. Cut one of the two pieces along a plane that passes through the center O of the circle at the first cut and is perpendicular to the second cut. This creates two legs. Cut the other part into two in the same way, so you have four legs. All the line segments and arcs will have their corners smoothed out, so there will be less danger if the sponge stand tips over while you are washing your face. It could be described as a coaster with holes, feet, and anti-slip surfaces. Furthermore, the polypropylene material is mixed with antiseptics, mildew inhibitors, antibacterial agents and deodorizers to make the sponge stand with legs hygienic.
