Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a compact sink that can be used to provide water even in the narrow interior of a car. It is made by attaching pipe support brackets to a commercially available metal tray or bowl to create a water tank with a drainage function, and then combining this with a water pump, plastic container, outer box, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional in-car sinks were too large for a regular car and were difficult to use.

[0003] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to make the conventional in-vehicle sink compact.

[0004] The main advantage of this invention is that it is possible to downsize the sink by using commercially available trays, bowls, and pipe support brackets.

[0005] The portable car sink of this invention can be easily used in an ordinary passenger car and is also useful in the event of a disaster. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1-4] FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of the sink part of the present invention. [Figure 5] How to fix the pipe support bracket and tray (bowl) [Figure 6] Overview of the custom-made outer box [Figure 7] Overall view after assembly DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Figures 1 to 4 show the structure of the sink part of this invention, and Figure 5 shows how to fix the pipe support bracket. The sink part, plastic container, water pump, etc. are assembled into the outer box of Figure 6 to create a completed sink. To use 1. Place the water supply plastic tank and the drainage plastic tank into the outer box. 2. Place the sink part into the hole drilled in the top of the outer box (the hole will vary depending on the shape of the sink part). 3. Install a rechargeable water pump. 4. When you turn on the water pump, water will come out. 5. Water that flows through the sink flows into the drain tank. [Explanation of symbols]
