Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sink-equipped device having a sink. [Background technology]

[0002] A known example of a conventional sink-equipped device is a camping sink that includes a sink with a drain outlet for discharging water and a water storage tank that stores the water discharged from the sink's drain outlet (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 05-039348 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, conventional sink-equipped devices have the problem of being large in size.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a sink-equipped device that can be made smaller than conventional devices. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The sink-equipped device of the present invention comprises a container having an opening forming portion that forms an opening that opens upward, a sink having a drain outlet formed therein for draining liquid, and a sink-equipped lid that is detachable from the container, wherein the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container in a state that covers at least a portion of the opening, the drain outlet is connected to the interior of the container when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container, the container stores liquid drained from the drain outlet when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container, and the sink-equipped lid has an upper surface covering portion that covers the upper surface of at least a portion of the opening forming portion when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container.

[0007] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention can be made smaller than conventional devices because the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container with the sink's outlet connected to the inside of the container, and liquid discharged from the sink's outlet is stored inside the container. Furthermore, with the sink-equipped device of the present invention, when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container, the top cover portion of the sink-equipped lid covers at least a portion of the top surface of the opening-forming portion of the container, reducing the possibility of liquid spilled outside the sink seeping into the gap between the sink-equipped lid and the container.

[0008] In the sink-equipped device of the present invention, the sink-equipped lid has a side-facing portion that faces at least a portion of the side of the opening-forming portion while being spaced apart or in contact with the side of the opening-forming portion when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container, and the side-facing portion may be restricted from moving toward the side by coming into contact with the side that it faces.

[0009] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention can prevent the sink-equipped lid from shifting relative to the container when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container by causing the side-facing portion of the sink-equipped lid to come into contact with the side of the opening-forming portion of the container.

[0010] In the sink-equipped device of the present invention, the side facing portion may face at least a part of the opening forming portion at a distance from or in contact with the side opposite the opening side when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container.

[0011] With this configuration, when the sink-equipped lid is attached to a container, the side-facing portion of the sink-equipped lid faces at a distance from or in contact with the side opposite the opening side of at least a portion of the opening-forming portion of the container, thereby further reducing the possibility of liquid spilled outside the sink seeping into the gap between the sink-equipped lid and the container.

[0012] The sink device of the present invention may include a seal that seals a gap between the container and the sink lid when the sink lid is attached to the container.

[0013] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention has a seal that closes the gap between the container and the sink-equipped lid when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container, thereby preventing liquid outside the container from entering the inside of the container through the gap between the container and the sink-equipped lid, and preventing liquid and odors inside the container from leaking out to the outside of the container through the gap between the container and the sink-equipped lid.

[0014] In the sink-equipped device of the present invention, the sink-equipped lid may be provided with a platform on which a liquid supply container can be placed so that liquid to be supplied to the sink can be supplied from the liquid supply container to the sink.

[0015] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention allows the liquid supply container to be placed on the sink-equipped lid's mounting base in a state where liquid can be supplied from the liquid supply container to the sink, making it easy to supply liquid from the liquid supply container to the sink.

[0016] The sink-equipped device of the present invention may include a liquid supply container that stores liquid to be supplied to the sink, and the container may be capable of storing the liquid supply container therein.

[0017] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention can store the liquid supply container inside, thereby improving portability.

[0018] The sink-equipped device of the present invention is provided with a drainage container for storing liquid discharged from the drain outlet, and the container is capable of storing the drainage container inside, and when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container with the drainage container stored inside the container, the liquid discharged from the drain outlet is stored in the drainage container, thereby storing the liquid discharged from the drain outlet inside the container.

[0019] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention can store a drainage container inside, thereby improving portability. Furthermore, since the sink-equipped device of the present invention stores liquid discharged from the sink's outlet in a drainage container stored inside the container, when liquid discharged from the sink's outlet and stored inside the container is discarded, the liquid in the drainage container removed from the container can be discarded. Therefore, the sink-equipped device of the present invention can easily discard liquid discharged from the sink's outlet and stored inside the container.

[0020] In the sink-equipped device of the present invention, the sink-equipped lid may be attached to the container in a state covering the entire opening, and the top surface covering portion may cover the entire top surface of the opening forming portion when the sink-equipped lid is attached to the container.

[0021] With this configuration, when the sink-equipped lid is attached to a container, the top cover portion of the sink-equipped lid covers the entire top surface of the opening-forming portion of the container, further reducing the possibility of liquid spilled outside the sink seeping into the gap between the sink-equipped lid and the container.

[0022] In the sink-equipped device of the present invention, the container is provided with a buckle for fastening the sink-equipped lid, and the buckle may function as a towel rack when the sink-equipped lid is not fastened.

[0023] With this configuration, the sink-equipped device of the present invention allows the buckle to function as a towel rack when the sink-equipped lid is not secured by the buckle, thereby improving convenience when using the sink. [Effects of the Invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] First, the configuration of a sink-equipped device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0028] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sink-equipped device 10 according to this embodiment in a configuration for storage or transportation (hereinafter referred to as the "storage and transportation configuration"). Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the sink-equipped device 10 in a state in which the lid 30 has been removed from the state shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sink-equipped device 10 in a configuration in which liquid is supplied from a water supply tank 50 (hereinafter referred to as the "liquid supply configuration").

[0029] 1 to 3, sink-equipped device 10 includes container 20, lid 30 that is detachable from container 20, sink lid 40 that covers sink 32 (described later) on lid 30, liquid supply tank 50 as a liquid supply container that stores liquid to be supplied to sink 32, and drain bucket 60 as a liquid drain container that stores liquid drained from drain port 32a (described later) of sink 32. In the following, an example will be described in which the liquid stored in liquid supply tank 50 is water.

[0030] The sink-equipped device 10 may be used, for example, in daily life, at work, in emergencies, or for outdoor activities. The sink-equipped device 10 may also be used, for example, as a water supply system for a camper.

[0031] Fig. 4(a) is a perspective view of the container 20 when observed from above, and Fig. 4(b) is a perspective view of a portion of the container 20 when observed from below.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the container 20 includes a main body 21 and a buckle 25 for fastening the lid 30. As shown in FIGS.

[0033] The main body 21 may be made of, for example, plastic. The main body 21 includes legs 22, an opening forming portion 23 that forms an opening 21a that opens upward, and a handle 24. The main body 21 is formed with a hole 21b into which the end of the buckle 25 is inserted. In FIG. 4(a), one handle 24 is depicted on each of the front and right walls of the container 20. However, one handle 24 is also similarly provided on each of the rear and left walls of the container 20.

[0034] The buckle 25 includes a pipe 25a made of, for example, plastic, and a wire 25b inserted into the pipe 25a. The wire 25b is rotatably supported by the main body 21 by having both ends inserted into holes 21b in the main body 21. The buckle 25 may have a configuration other than that described above. For example, all of the components of the buckle 25 may be made of plastic. In FIG. 4(a), the buckle 25 is depicted on the right wall of the container 20. However, the buckle 25 is similarly provided on the left wall of the container 20.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, the container 20 can accommodate a liquid supply tank 50 and a liquid drainage bucket 60 therein.

[0036] Fig. 5(a) is a perspective view of the lid 30 when observed from above, and Fig. 5(b) is a perspective view of the lid 30 when observed from below.

[0037] 1, 3, and 5, the lid 30 includes a body 31 with a sink 32 and a plug 39 for closing the outlet 32a of the sink 32. The body 31 may be made of, for example, plastic. The lid 30 can be attached to the container 20 in a state where it completely covers the opening 21a (see FIG. 2) of the container 20.

[0038] The main body 31 includes a sink 32 having a drain port 32a for draining water, a mounting base 33 on which the liquid supply tank 50 can be placed so that water can be supplied from the liquid supply tank 50 to the sink 32, an upper surface covering portion 34 that covers the entire upper surface of the opening-forming portion 23 (see FIG. 2) of the container 20 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, and an outer wall surface facing portion 35 that faces the entire side of the opening-forming portion 23 opposite the opening 21a when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, i.e., faces the outer wall surface while being spaced apart or in contact with the outer wall surface. The lid 30 thus constitutes a sink-attached lid of the present invention. The main body 31 is formed with a groove 31a that allows a user's fingers to easily hook onto the lower end of the sink lid 40 when attaching or detaching the sink lid 40 to the lid 30.

[0039] The outlet 32a of the sink 32 communicates with the interior of the container 20 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20 as shown in FIG.

[0040] The sink 32 has two walls 32b that divide the interior of the sink 32 into an area 32A where the drain outlet 32a is present and an area 32B where the drain outlet 32a is not present. Areas 32A and 32B are connected via a gap between the two walls 32b. Area 32B may be used to place cleaning sponges, soap, or other items. The sink 32 has two grooves 32c formed in its outer wall into which the hooks 46 (described below) of the sink lid 40 are inserted. The grooves 32c are recesses that do not penetrate the sink. The bottom of the sink 32 is inclined so that, when water is present in the sink 32, the water flows into the drain outlet 32a.

[0041] Of the four corners on the top surface of the stand 33, protrusions 33a are provided at the two corners that are not on the sink 32 side. Two grooves 33b are formed in the outer wall of the stand 33, into which claws 47 (described below) of the sink lid 40 are inserted. The grooves 33b are recesses that do not penetrate all the way through.

[0042] The outer wall surface facing portion 35 comes into contact with the outer wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 that the outer wall surface facing portion 35 itself faces, thereby restricting movement toward this outer wall surface.

[0043] The plug 39 is detachable from the outlet 32 ​​a of the sink 32 .

[0044] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of sink lid 40 as viewed from below.

[0045] 1 and 6, sink lid 40 includes a top plate 41, a front wall 42 connected to top plate 41, a right wall 43 connected to top plate 41, a left wall 44 connected to top plate 41, a rib 45 provided on the back side of top plate 41, two claws 46 protruding rearward from wall 42 and inserted into groove 32c (see FIG. 3) of lid 30, and two claws 47 protruding rearward from top plate 41 and inserted into groove 33b (see FIG. 3) of lid 30. Sink lid 40 may be formed, for example, from plastic.

[0046] Of the four corners on the top surface of top plate portion 41, protrusions 41a are provided at two corners that are not on the side of table 33 when sink lid 40 is attached to lid 30 as shown in FIG.

[0047] The wall portion 42 has a groove 42a formed at its lower end to allow the user's fingers to easily catch when attaching or detaching the sink lid 40 to or from the lid 30.

[0048] The rib 45 has a groove 45a formed therein into which the outer wall of the sink 32 is inserted.

[0049] The lower end of the portion of wall 42 where groove 42a is not formed and the lower end of the portion of rib 45 where groove 45a is not formed are at the same height in the up-down direction. Therefore, sink lid 40 can be used as, for example, a cutting board when removed from lid 30.

[0050] 7(a) is a perspective view of the liquid supply tank 50 as viewed from above, and FIG. 7(b) is a bottom view of the liquid supply tank 50.

[0051] 2, 3 and 7, the liquid supply tank 50 includes a main body 51. The capacity of the liquid supply tank 50 is, for example, 10 liters or more.

[0052] The main body 51 has two openings (not shown) with different diameters. The main body 51 includes a large-diameter opening (not shown) having the larger of the two openings (not shown) formed in the main body 51 (hereinafter referred to as the "large-diameter opening") formed on the inner periphery and a male screw (not shown) formed on the outer periphery, and a small-diameter opening (not shown) having the smaller of the two openings (not shown) formed in the main body 51 (hereinafter referred to as the "small-diameter opening") formed on the inner periphery and a male screw (not shown) formed on the outer periphery, a handle 52, legs 53 for when the liquid supply tank 50 is housed inside the container 20, and legs 54 for when the liquid supply tank 50 supplies water to the sink 32. The main body 51 may be made of, for example, plastic. The large-diameter opening may be used when water is poured into the liquid supply tank 50 or when a user's hand is inserted to clean the inside of the liquid supply tank 50.

[0053] The liquid supply tank 50 is provided with a large diameter opening cap 55 that is attached to the large diameter opening, a small diameter opening cap 56 that is attached to the small diameter opening, and a cock 57 that is attached to the small diameter opening to open and close the water flow path.

[0054] The large-diameter cap 55 has a female thread (not shown) formed on its inner periphery, and this female thread can be threaded into the male thread of the large-diameter cap, thereby enabling it to be attached to the large-diameter cap. The large-diameter cap 55 has a fixing portion (not shown) on its back side that can fix either the small-diameter cap 56 or the cock 57, whichever is not attached to the small-diameter cap. The large-diameter cap 55 may be made of plastic, for example.

[0055] The small-diameter cap 56 has a female thread (not shown) formed on its inner periphery, and can be attached to the small-diameter opening by threading this female thread into the male thread of the small-diameter opening. The small-diameter cap 56 may be made of, for example, plastic.

[0056] The cock 57 has a female screw (not shown) formed on its inner periphery, and this female screw can be attached to the small-diameter opening by screwing into the male screw of the small-diameter opening. The cock 57 may be made of, for example, plastic.

[0057] Fig. 8(a) is a perspective view of the drainage bucket 60 when observed from above with the handle 62 raised. Fig. 8(b) is a bottom view of the drainage bucket 60.

[0058] 2, 3, and 8, the drainage bucket 60 includes a main body 61, two handles 62, and a lid 63 for covering an opening (not shown) of the main body 61. The capacity of the drainage bucket 60 is, for example, 10 liters or more. The capacity of the drainage bucket 60 may be the same as the capacity of the liquid supply tank 50.

[0059] The main body 61 has legs 61a. The main body 61 may be made of, for example, plastic.

[0060] The handle 62 is rotatably attached to the main body 61. The handle 62 may be made of, for example, plastic. If the handle 62 is made of plastic, it may be reinforced with wire to increase its strength.

[0061] The lid 63 may be made of, for example, plastic. The lid 63 may be made of a flexible material that allows it to be attached to the main body 61 by its elasticity.

[0062] When the drainage bucket 60 is moved while water is stored inside, the possibility of the water stored inside leaking to the outside can be reduced by attaching the lid 63 to the main body 61.

[0063] The drainage bucket 60 can be used as a storage container for storing any object when it is not being used as a drainage container for storing water drained from the outlet 32a of the sink 32. When the drainage bucket 60 is used as a storage container for storing any object, the lid 63 attached to the main body 61 can reduce the possibility of water entering the inside.

[0064] 9(a) is a diagram showing an example of the sink-equipped device 10 when it is fixed with a belt 91. FIG. 9(b) is a diagram showing an example of the sink-equipped device 10 when it is fixed with a net 92.

[0065] For example, when the sink-equipped device 10 is in the storage and transportation configuration shown in Fig. 1, it can be secured to another member 90 with a belt 91 as shown in Fig. 9(a) or with a net 92 as shown in Fig. 9(b). The other member 90 can be, for example, a roof rack of an automobile.

[0066] A plurality of sink-equipped apparatuses 10 can be stacked for storage and transportation. When multiple sink-equipped apparatuses 10 are stacked, the legs 22 of the upper sink-equipped apparatus 10 fit into the area surrounded by the protrusions 33a and 41a of the lower sink-equipped apparatus 10, thereby preventing the stacked sink-equipped apparatuses 10 from shifting sideways.

[0067] The sink-equipped apparatus 10 in its storage and transport form can be used, for example, as a chair, a table, a step stool, etc. In other words, the top surfaces of the stand 33 and the sink lid 40 can be used as the seat of a chair, or as the top of a table or step stool.

[0068] Next, an example of a method for transforming the sink-equipped device 10 from the storage and transport configuration to the liquid supply configuration will be described.

[0069] When the sink-equipped device 10 is in the storage and transportation configuration shown in Figure 1, the user can place the sink-equipped device 10 in the state shown in Figure 2 by removing the buckle 25 from the lid 30 and then removing the lid 30 from the container 20.

[0070] Next, the user removes the liquid supply tank 50 from the container 20 and also removes the lid 63 of the drainage bucket 60 inside the container 20 .

[0071] Next, the user attaches the lid 30 to the container 20, and then removes the sink lid 40 from the lid 30. Alternatively, the user may attach the lid 30 to the container 20 after removing the sink lid 40 from the lid 30.

[0072] Next, the user can transform the sink-equipped device 10 into the liquid supply configuration shown in Figure 3 by placing the liquid supply tank 50, with the small-diameter cap 56 replaced with a cock 57, on the mounting base 33 of the lid 30.

[0073] When the sink-equipped device 10 is in the liquid dispensing mode, the buckle 25 functions as a towel rack as shown in Figure 3. When the sink-equipped device 10 is in the liquid dispensing mode, the user can hang any object other than the towel 93 on the buckle 25. For example, the user can hang a bag on the buckle 25.

[0074] In the sink-equipped device 10, the distance between the two protrusions 33a of the mounting base 33 is longer than the width of the liquid supply tank 50 when in the liquid supply mode, so that the position of the liquid supply tank 50 in the front-to-rear direction can be changed when in the liquid supply mode. Therefore, the user can adjust the position of the cock 57 of the liquid supply tank 50 in the front-to-rear direction relative to the sink 32, for example, according to the user's own preference.

[0075] When the sink-equipped device 10 is in the liquid supply mode, the sink lid 40 is placed between the mounting base 33 of the lid 30 and the liquid supply tank 50, so that the height of the cock 57 of the liquid supply tank 50 relative to the bottom of the sink 32 can be made higher than the state shown in Fig. 3. Therefore, the user can adjust the height of the cock 57 of the liquid supply tank 50 relative to the bottom of the sink 32, for example, according to the user's own preference.

[0076] The method for transforming the sink-equipped apparatus 10 from the liquid dispensing configuration to the storage and transport configuration is the reverse of the method for transforming the sink-equipped apparatus 10 from the storage and transport configuration to the liquid dispensing configuration, and therefore will not be described here.

[0077] Next, the operation of the sink-equipped device 10 when used by a user as a water supply facility will be described.

[0078] When the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is in the state shown in FIG. 3, the user can supply water from the liquid supply tank 50 to the sink 32 by opening the cock 57.

[0079] Here, when the stopper 39 is attached to the outlet 32 ​​a of the sink 32 , the water supplied to the inside of the sink 32 accumulates inside the sink 32 .

[0080] On the other hand, when the plug 39 is removed from the drain outlet 32a of the sink 32, the water supplied to the inside of the sink 32 flows down the slope of the bottom of the sink 32 and falls into the inside of the drain bucket 60 through the drain outlet 32a, where it is stored in the drain bucket 60.

[0081] As described above, the sink-equipped device 10 has the lid 30 attached to the container 20 with the outlet 32a of the sink 32 connected to the inside of the container 20, and the water drained from the outlet 32a of the sink 32 is stored inside the drainage bucket 60 inside the container 20, making it possible to make the device smaller than conventional devices.

[0082] The sink-equipped device 10 allows the liquid supply tank 50 to be placed on the mounting base 33 of the lid 30 in a state where water can be supplied from the liquid supply tank 50 to the sink 32, making it easy to supply water from the liquid supply tank 50 to the sink 32.

[0083] When the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the sink-equipped device 10 can prevent the lid 30 from shifting back and forth or left and right relative to the container 20 by the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 30 coming into contact with the outer wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20. Therefore, when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the sink-equipped device 10 can prevent the lid 30 from falling off the container 20.

[0084] In the sink-equipped device 10, when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the upper surface covering portion 34 of the lid 30 covers the upper surface of the opening-forming portion 23 of the container 20, thereby reducing the possibility of water scattered outside the sink 32 seeping into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20. Furthermore, when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 30 faces the outer wall surface of the opening-forming portion 23 of the container 20 while being spaced apart or in contact with it, thereby further reducing the possibility of water scattered outside the sink 32 seeping into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20 by the outer wall surface facing portion 35.

[0085] Here, if water spilled outside the sink 32 seeps into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20, the water that seeps into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20 may not fall into the drainage bucket 60 but may be stored directly inside the container 20. If the water stored directly inside the container 20 is wastewater, the inside of the container 20 will need to be cleaned. However, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 can reduce the possibility of water spilled outside the sink 32 seeping into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20, thereby reducing the burden of cleaning the inside of the container 20.

[0086] When the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the upper surface covering portion 34 of the lid 30 covers the upper surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20, so even if wastewater is stored in the drainage bucket 60 stored inside the container 20, the sink-equipped device 10 can reduce the possibility of the odor of the wastewater stored in the drainage bucket 60 leaking out of the sink-equipped device 10. Furthermore, when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 30 faces the outer wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 while being spaced apart or in contact with the outer wall surface of the drainage bucket 60, so even if wastewater is stored in the drainage bucket 60 stored inside the container 20, the outer wall surface facing portion 35 can further reduce the possibility of the odor of the wastewater stored in the drainage bucket 60 leaking out of the sink-equipped device 10. In addition, when the plug 39 is attached to the outlet 32a of the sink 32, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 can further reduce the possibility of the odor of the wastewater stored in the drainage bucket 60 leaking outside the sink-equipped apparatus 10.

[0087] The sink-equipped device 10 can store the liquid supply tank 50 and the drainage bucket 60 inside, thereby improving portability.

[0088] Since the sink-equipped apparatus 10 stores the water discharged from the outlet 32a of the sink 32 in the drainage bucket 60 housed inside the container 20, when the water discharged from the outlet 32a of the sink 32 and stored inside the container 20 is discarded, the water inside the drainage bucket 60 removed from inside the container 20 is simply discarded. Therefore, when a user goes to a place to discard the water stored in the drainage bucket 60, the user need only carry the drainage bucket 60. Therefore, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 can easily discard the water discharged from the outlet 32a of the sink 32 and stored inside the container 20.

[0089] In the sink-equipped apparatus 10, if the capacity of the drainage bucket 60 is the same as the capacity of the liquid supply tank 50, the water stored in the drainage bucket 60 can be discarded when the water inside the liquid supply tank 50 becomes empty, thereby reducing the burden on the user to manage the timing of discarding the water stored in the drainage bucket 60. Note that in the sink-equipped apparatus 10, the capacity of the drainage bucket 60 does not have to be the same as the capacity of the liquid supply tank 50.

[0090] In the sink-equipped device 10, when the buckle 25 is not fastening the lid 30, the buckle 25 functions as a towel rack, thereby improving the convenience of using the sink 32.

[0091] In this embodiment, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is provided with a liquid supply tank 50 as a liquid supply container. However, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may be provided with a liquid supply container other than the liquid supply tank 50. For example, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may be provided with a liquid supply tank as a liquid supply container having a cock with a different shape from the cock 57, or may be provided with a liquid supply container that is too large to be stored inside the container 20.

[0092] In this embodiment, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 includes a liquid supply container. However, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 does not necessarily have to include a liquid supply container. For example, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may receive water for the sink 32 from a public water supply.

[0093] In this embodiment, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is provided with a drainage bucket 60 as a drainage container. However, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may be provided with a drainage container other than the drainage bucket 60. For example, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may be provided with a tank having the same configuration as the liquid supply tank 50 as a drainage container, or may be provided with a drainage container that is too large to be stored inside the container 20.

[0094] In this embodiment, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is provided with a drainage container. However, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may not be provided with a drainage container, and the water discharged from the outlet 32a of the sink 32 may be stored directly inside the container 20.

[0095] In the present embodiment, sink lid 40 is attached to lid 30 by inserting claws 46 and 47 of sink lid 40 into grooves 32c and 33b of lid 30, respectively. However, other methods of attaching lid 30 to sink lid 40 may also be used. For example, sink lid 40 may be attached to lid 30 by inserting claws of lid 30 into grooves of sink lid 40.

[0096] The sink-equipped apparatus 10 has been described as being used as a plumbing facility, but the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may also be used for purposes other than plumbing.

[0097] For example, the sink-equipped apparatus 10 may be used to store kerosene. That is, when the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is in a storage and transportation configuration, kerosene may be stored inside at least one of the liquid supply container and the liquid drainage container. When the sink-equipped apparatus 10 is in a storage and transportation configuration and kerosene is stored inside at least one of the liquid supply container and the liquid drainage container, for example, storing a dustcloth in the sink 32 can prevent the smell of kerosene inside the sink-equipped apparatus 10 from leaking out of the sink-equipped apparatus 10.

[0098] The sink 32 can be used as a storage area for any items when water is not provided.

[0099] In the sink-equipped device 10, it is preferable that the upper surface covering portion 34 of the lid 30 covers the entire upper surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 with the drain outlet 32a of the sink 32 connected to the inside of the container 20, but even if the upper surface covering portion 34 of the lid 30 covers the upper surface of part of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 with the drain outlet 32a of the sink 32 connected to the inside of the container 20, it is possible to reduce the possibility of water spilled outside the sink 32 seeping into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20 and to reduce the odor leaking outside the sink-equipped device 10 from the dirty water stored in the drain bucket 60.

[0100] In the sink-equipped device 10, it is preferable that the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 30 faces the entire outer wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 when the drain outlet 32a of the sink 32 is connected to the inside of the container 20. However, even if the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 30 faces part of the outer wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 when the drain outlet 32a of the sink 32 is connected to the inside of the container 20, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the lid 30 shifting forward, backward, left, or right relative to the container 20, and the possibility of water spilled outside the sink 32 seeping into the gap between the lid 30 and the container 20, and to reduce odors leaking out of the sink-equipped device 10 from the dirty water stored in the drain bucket 60.

[0101] Figure 10(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20. Figure 10(b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the container 20 and the lid 130 when a lid 130 serving as a sink-equipped lid of an example different from the example shown in Figure 10(a) is attached to the container 20. Figure 10(c) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the container 20 and the lid 230 when a lid 230 serving as a sink-equipped lid of an example different from the examples shown in Figures 10(a) and 10(b) is attached to the container 20.

[0102] As shown in Fig. 10(a), the lid 30 described above has an outer wall surface facing portion 35 that faces the side of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 opposite the opening 21a when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, that is, the outer wall surface facing portion 35 that faces the outer wall surface while being spaced apart or in contact with the outer wall surface. However, instead of the lid 30 shown in Fig. 10(a), the sink-equipped device 10 may be provided with a lid 130 shown in Fig. 10(b) or a lid 230 shown in Fig. 10(c) as the sink-equipped lid.

[0103] The lid 130 shown in FIG. 10(b) has inner wall surface facing portions 135 near the front end, rear end, left end, and right end of the lid 130, which serve as side facing portions that face the side of the opening 21a side of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20, i.e., face the inner wall surface while being spaced apart or in contact with the inner wall surface, when the lid 130 is attached to the container 20. When the lid 130 is attached to the container 20, the inner wall surface facing portions 135 may face the entire inner wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20, or may face only a portion of the inner wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20. When attached to the container 20, the contact of the inner wall surface facing portions 135 of the lid 130 with the inner wall surface of the opening forming portion 23 of the container 20 prevents the lid 130 from shifting forward, backward, left, or right relative to the container 20.

[0104] The lid 230 shown in FIG. 10( c) has pairs of an outer wall surface facing portion 35 and an inner wall surface facing portion 135 near the front end and the left end of the lid 230 when the lid 230 is attached to the container 20. When the lid 230 is attached to the container 20, the lid 230 can be prevented from shifting forward, backward, left, or right relative to the container 20 by the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of the lid 230 coming into contact with the outer wall surface of the opening-forming portion 23 of the container 20, or the inner wall surface facing portion 135 of the lid 230 coming into contact with the inner wall surface of the opening-forming portion 23 of the container 20. Note that the lid 230 may have the pair of the outer wall surface facing portion 35 and the inner wall surface facing portion 135 near the rear end of the lid 230 instead of, or in addition to, the front end of the lid 230. Similarly, the lid 230 may have a pair of outer wall surface opposing portion 35 and inner wall surface opposing portion 135 near the right end of the lid 230 instead of near the left end of the lid 230, or in addition to near the front left part of the lid 230.

[0105] The sink apparatus 10 may include a seal that closes the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20 .

[0106] Figure 11(a) is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the container 20 and the lid 30 when the seal 80 is disposed in the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20. Figure 11(b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the container 20 and the lid 30, different from the example shown in Figure 11(a), when the seal 80 is disposed in the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20.

[0107] The container 20 shown in FIG. 11(a) has a groove 23a formed around the entire periphery on the side of the opening-forming portion 23 opposite the opening 21a, i.e., on the outer wall surface. The sink-equipped device 10 shown in FIG. 11(a) has a seal 80 fitted into the groove 23a. The lid 30 shown in FIG. 11(b) has a groove 35a formed around the entire periphery on the side of the outer wall surface facing portion 35 facing the opening-forming portion 23, i.e., on the inner wall surface. The sink-equipped device 10 shown in FIG. 11(b) has a seal 80 fitted into the groove 35a. In FIG. 11, the seal 80 seals the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20. Therefore, when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20, the seal 80 can prevent liquid outside the container 20 from penetrating into the inside of the container 20 through the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30, and can prevent liquid or odors inside the container 20 from leaking out to the outside of the container 20 through the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30.

[0108] In addition, the seal 80 that is placed in the gap between the container 20 and the lid 30 when the lid 30 is attached to the container 20 may be placed in a location other than that shown in Figures 11(a) and 11(b).

[0109] FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a sink-equipped device 70 according to this embodiment, which is an example different from the example shown in FIG.

[0110] Of the components of the sink-equipped device 70 shown in Figure 12, those that are similar to the components of the sink-equipped device 10 shown in Figure 3 are given the same symbols as the components of the sink-equipped device 10, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0112] The configuration of the sink-equipped device 70 is similar to the configuration of the sink-equipped device 10 except that the lid 30 is replaced with a lid 71 and a lid 72 .

[0113] The configuration of the lid 71 is almost the same as that of the lid 30, with the portion in the vicinity of the mounting base 33 removed. The lid 71 is provided with a sink 32, and constitutes a lid with a sink of the present invention.

[0114] The configuration of lid 72 is almost the same as that of lid 30, with the portion near sink 32 removed. Lid 72 has a flange 72a that protrudes toward lid 71 to reduce the possibility of water spilled outside sink 32 seeping into the gap between lid 71 and the lid 72.

[0115] The lids 71 ​​and 72 are separate members, and can be attached to and detached from the container 20 separately.

[0116] When lids 71 ​​and 72 are attached to container 20, they can be prevented from shifting back and forth or left and right relative to container 20 by the outer wall surface facing portion 35 of lid 71 and the outer wall surface facing portion of lid 72 coming into contact with the outer wall surface of opening forming portion 23 of container 20.

[0117] The above description has been given of the case where the liquid supplied to the inside of the sink 32 is water. However, the liquid supplied to the inside of the sink 32 may be something other than water. For example, the liquid supplied to the inside of the sink 32 may be a beverage other than water.
