[0001] The present invention relates to a dirt capture member holder for mounting a dirt capture member that captures dirt contained in wastewater. [Background technology]

[0002] A dirt capture member holder equipped with a mesh-like dirt capture member is usually installed at a drain formed in a water receiving container such as a sink or washbasin. By using the dirt capture member to remove dirt contained in wastewater flowing in from the drain, clogging of the drain pipe connected to the drain can be prevented. As an example of such a dirt capture member holder, Patent Document 1 describes a drain cover with a drain net, in which a mesh net is bonded to the lower part of the drain cover with an opening. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3225734 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The drain cover with drain net described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the mesh net cannot be removed from the drain cover and replaced, so when disposing of captured garbage, the drain cover must also be discarded, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dust capture member holder that allows the dust capture member to be replaced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a dust trapping member holder, A holder body member including a flow path tube that can be accommodated in the drain outlet and has a flow path through which the drain flows, and a flange portion that extends from an outer peripheral surface of the flow path tube and can be placed on the periphery of the drain outlet; A fixing member that can be accommodated in the flow tube and has a flow hole formed in the center through which wastewater flows; Equipped with The flow passage tube has a support portion that supports the fixing member therein.

[0007] When installing the dirt capture member holder according to the present invention, first, the flange portion of the holder body member is placed on the periphery of the drain outlet of the water receiving container and the flow tube is placed inside the drain outlet. Next, a dirt capture member such as a mesh is attached to the fixed member so as to cover the flow hole formed in the fixed member, and the fixed member is then placed inside the flow tube. This completes the installation of the dirt capture member holder, and the dirt contained in the wastewater in the water receiving container is captured by the dirt capture member as the wastewater flows through the flow channel of the flow tube and down the flow hole of the fixed member into the drain outlet.

[0008] On the other hand, when it is necessary to clean up the debris captured by the debris capture member, the fixed member is removed from the flow tube, and the debris capture member is then detached from the fixed member and disposed of. According to the debris capture member holder of the present invention, the debris capture member can be replaced, so that the debris capture member holder and the fixed member can be reused, thereby reducing waste of resources.

[0009] In the dust capture member holder according to the present invention, The fixing member is An annular body portion having the downflow hole formed therein; a hanging portion extending downward from the annular main body portion; It is preferable that the above formula be used.

[0010] By providing a hanging portion that extends downward from the annular main body, it becomes easier to ensure the vertical width of the fixing member. If this width is set to a size that is easy for a user to grasp, it becomes easier to attach and detach the dirt capture member.

[0011] In the dirt capture member holder according to the present invention, it is preferable that the fixing member is composed of an upper portion and a lower portion which can be joined to each other.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned configuration, when the dirt capture member is attached to the fixed member, it can be clamped between the upper and lower parts of the fixed member. In this case, the dirt capture member is more stably held by the fixed member, so there is less risk that the captured dirt will act as a weight and cause the dirt capture member to come off the fixed member during use and fall to the back of the drain pipe.

[0013] In the dust capture member holder according to the present invention, At least a part of either the support portion or the fixing member is formed of a magnet, It is preferable that at least a part of the other of the support portion and the fixed member is made of a magnet or a magnetic material.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the fixing member placed on the support part of the flow tube can be coupled to the support part by magnetic force. In this case, the dirt capture member sandwiched between the fixing member and the support part is more stably held by the fixing member, so there is less risk that the captured dirt will become a weight and cause the dirt capture member to come off the fixing member during use and fall to the back of the drain pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the dirt capture member holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The dirt capture member holder is for holding a dirt capture member such as a mesh body that removes dirt such as food residue and hair contained in wastewater flowing into a drain of a water receiving container. Drains to which the dirt capture member holder according to the present invention can be installed include, but are not limited to, those formed in water receiving containers such as sinks, washbasins, bathrooms, and washing machine pans.

[0017] First Embodiment As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the dirt capture member holder 1 of the first embodiment comprises a holder main body member 2 arranged at a drain outlet 4 of a water receiving container, and a fixing member 3 that fixes a dirt capture member 5 to the holder main body member 2.

[0018] The holder main body member 2 has a hollow flow path tube 21 that can be accommodated in the drain outlet 4 and has a flow path through which the wastewater flows. The flow path tube 21 is for guiding the wastewater in the water receiving container into the drain outlet 4 when the holder main body member 2 is disposed in the drain outlet 4 of the water receiving container. In this embodiment, a straight tube having a circular cross section perpendicular to the axial direction is used as an example, but the flow path tube 21 is not limited to this. The flow path tube 21 may be a conical tube, and the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction may have any shape, such as a polygon or an ellipse.

[0019] The holder main body member 2 further has a flange portion 22 that extends from the outer peripheral surface of the flow path tube 21 and can be placed on the periphery of the drain outlet 4. The holder main body member 2 is for positioning the flow path tube 21 near the upper end of the drain outlet 4. In this embodiment, a disk-shaped portion extending from the upper end of the flow path tube 21 is described as an example, but the flange portion 22 is not limited to this. The flange portion 22 may extend from a position between the upper end and the lower end of the flow path tube 21, and the shape of the outer periphery may be any shape, such as a polygon or an ellipse.

[0020] The fixing member 3 has an annular main body portion 31 that can be accommodated in the flow tube 21. In this embodiment, a disk-shaped one having a diameter substantially smaller than the inner diameter of the flow tube 21 is described as an example, but the annular main body portion 31 is not limited to this. The annular main body portion 31 may be any shape as long as it can be accommodated in the flow tube 21. The annular main body portion 31 is formed with a flow down hole 311 for drainage water in the flow tube 21 to flow down when the annular main body portion 31 is accommodated in the flow tube 21 and supported by a support portion 211 described later. In this embodiment, a circular hole formed in the center of the annular main body portion 31 is described as an example, but the flow down hole 311 is not limited to this. The flow down hole 311 may be any shape such as a polygonal shape or an elliptical shape, and may be formed at any position in the annular main body portion 31.

[0021] The flow passage tube 21 of the holder main body member 2 has a support portion 211 that supports the fixing member 3 therein. In this embodiment, an annular rib that protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the flow passage tube 21 at the lower end of the flow passage tube 21 around the entire circumference of the flow passage tube 21 in the circumferential direction will be described as an example, but the support portion 211 may be in any form as long as it can support the fixing member 3. For example, the support portion 211 may be provided at any position between the upper end and the lower end of the flow passage tube 21, or may be provided only in a part of the circumferential direction of the flow passage tube 21.

[0022] When installing the dirt capture member holder 1 according to this embodiment, first, the flange portion 22 of the holder body member 2 is placed on the periphery of the drain outlet 4 of the water receiving container, and the flow path tube 21 is placed inside the drain outlet 4. Next, a bag-shaped dirt capture member 5 having an opening is placed below the annular body portion 31 of the fixed member 3, and the edge portion of the dirt capture member 5 is spread and wrapped around the entire circumference of the annular body portion 31, thereby forming a space surrounded by the dirt capture member 5 below the downflow hole 311 formed in the annular body portion 31. After that, the fixed member 3 is placed inside the flow path tube 21 and supported by the support portion 211. This completes the installation of the dirt capture member holder 1.

[0023] By installing the dirt capture member holder 1 according to this embodiment, dirt contained in the wastewater in the water receiving container is captured by the dirt capture member 5 as the wastewater passes through the flow passage of the flow tube 21 and flows down from the flow hole 311 of the annular main body 31 of the fixed member 3 into the drain outlet 4. When it is necessary to clean up the dirt captured by the dirt capture member 5, the fixed member 3 is removed from inside the flow tube 21, the dirt capture member 5 is detached and disposed of, and then a new dirt capture member 5 is attached and the fixed member 3 is returned to the flow tube 21. In this way, the dirt capture member holder 1 according to this invention can reuse the holder main body member 2 and the fixed member 3 without discarding them, thereby reducing waste of resources.

[0024] Second Embodiment As shown in FIG. 4, the dirt capture member holder 1 of this embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first embodiment, except that the fixing member 3 further has a hanging portion 32, and therefore, a description of the same configuration will be omitted below.

[0025] In this embodiment, hanging portion 32 is annular and extends downward from a position adjacent to the inner peripheral surface of downflow hole 311 on the underside of annular main body portion 31 around the entire circumferential circumference of annular main body portion 31, and when annular main body portion 31 is placed on support portion 211, hanging portion 32 is located inside dirt capture member holder 1 relative to support portion 211. However, hanging portion 32 is not limited to this. Hanging portion 32 may be provided at any position on the underside of annular main body portion 31, or may be provided only on a portion of annular main body portion 31 in the circumferential direction, as long as it does not interfere with support of annular main body portion 31 by support portion 211.

[0026] Hanging portion 32 may be formed integrally with annular main body portion 31, and the length of hanging portion 32 extending from annular main body portion 31 can be set arbitrarily. Providing hanging portion 32 makes it easier to ensure the vertical width of fixing member 3, and if this width is set to a size that is easy for a user to grasp, the task of gripping fixing member 3 and attaching or detaching dirt capture member 5 can be performed more easily.

[0027] <Third embodiment> As shown in FIG. 5, the dirt capture member holder 1 of this embodiment has a configuration that is generally identical to that of the first embodiment, except that the annular main body portion 31 of the fixing member 3 is composed of an upper portion 31A and a lower portion 31B, and therefore, a description of the identical configuration will be omitted below.

[0028] The upper part 31A and the lower part 31B of the annular main body 31 are configured to be connectable to each other. The upper part 31A and the lower part 31B can be connected to each other by using a magnetic force, an adhesive force, or an attractive force generated by a magnet, an adhesive member such as a hook-and-loop fastener, or an attractive member such as a suction cup provided on at least one of the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B. For example, at least a part of either the upper part 31A or the lower part 31B can be made of a magnet, and at least a part of the other of the upper part 31A or the lower part 31B can be made of a magnet or a magnetic material. Alternatively, a frictional force generated by press-fitting the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B to each other can be used, such as by providing a fitting part (not shown) on one of the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B and providing a fitted part (not shown) on the other.

[0029] 5, the dirt capture member holder 1 of this embodiment can be attached by passing an edge of the dirt capture member 5 between the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B of the annular main body 31 and then joining the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B to each other. This allows the dirt capture member 5 to be sandwiched between the upper part 31A and the lower part 31B and more stably held in the annular main body 31, so there is little risk that the captured dirt will act as a weight and cause the dirt capture member 5 to come off the fixing member 3 and fall deep into the drain outlet 4 during use.

[0030] <Another embodiment> In the first to third embodiments, the support part 211 of the flow tube 21 and the fixed member 3 may be configured to be coupled to each other by magnetic force. For example, at least a part of either the support part 211 or the fixed member 3 may be configured by a magnet, and at least a part of the other may be configured by a magnet or a magnetic body. In this case, when the fixed member 3 to which the dirt capture member 5 is attached is placed in the flow tube 21, the dirt capture member 5 is sandwiched and held more stably by the fixed member 3 and the support part 211 which are coupled to each other by magnetic force, so that there is little risk that the captured dirt will become a weight and the dirt capture member 5 will come off the fixed member 3 during use and fall to the back of the drain pipe.

[0031] In the above first to third embodiments, the support portion 211 of the flow passage tube 21 is configured by an annular rib protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the flow passage tube 21, but is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the inner peripheral surface of the flow passage tube 21 may be formed in a tapered shape with a diameter decreasing toward the bottom, and the fixing member 3 arranged inside the flow passage tube 21 may be supported by the inner peripheral surface of the flow passage tube 21. In this case, the support portion 211 is configured by the inner peripheral surface of the flow passage tube 21. [Explanation of symbols]
