Drainer for dishes

The innovation concerns a draining device for dishes.

The known dish draining devices generally contain a grate that stands on feet and thereby is a certain distance from the work surface. This grate is arranged or designed in such a way that that it can accommodate a plate in each of its openings, which is held in an approximately vertical position and can gradually drain onto these catfish.

The innovation is now based on the task of creating a draining device that is particularly useful for ei..er handy, practical and compact design even better for different needs (different large number of dishes to be dried).

The drip device according to the invention essentially consists of two hinged together connected parts, before. those of the essentially symmetrize !, a part formed the actual At the drop part and the other forms a ribbed shell, the dimensions of which are greater than those of the symmetrically shaped

stalten drip part, so that the bowl the Can accommodate drip part, ur.d this second, formed as a bowl part on the Hinge facing away from the side has a number of open compartments for receiving cutlery.

Appropriate refinements of the innovation result from the subclaims.

An embodiment of the innovation is illustrated in the drawing. Show it

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the folded draining device;

Fig. 2 is a section along the line II-II of

unfolded drainer.

As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the draining device 1 consists of a symmetrical one Drainer 2 and a ribbed bowl 3, which are connected to one another by a hinge 4.

The symmetrically designed drip part 2 contains several vertically spaced apart Elements 6 which are connected to one another by connecting elements 5a, 5b which are T-shaped in cross section; the entire drip part 2 can be injection-molded or cast in one piece.

The individual elements 6 each consist of two symmetrically connected to one another by a strut 7 formed plates 8a, 8b. The dishes (plates, saucers, etc.) are either between adjacent

Struts 7 or arranged between the plates 8a or 8b of adjacent elements 6,

The hinge 4 contains an axis 9 which is firmly connected to the ribbed shell 3. On this axis, claws 10 are mounted, which are attached to the drip part 2 or formed in one piece with it.

The shell 3 consists of a container-like hollow body 11 which is provided with ribs 12 and a drain of kitchen utensils such as glasses, pans, etc. The shell 3 is also on the Hinge 4 on the opposite side is provided with an elongated seat 13 which is integral with the shell 3 is designed, is divided into different compartments and a number of compartments 14 for draining cutlery having.

The dimensions of the tray 3 are chosen to be slightly larger than those of the draining part 2, so that the draining part 2 accommodated in the shell 3 by a pivoting movement about the axis 9 in the direction of the arrow 15 can be. The height of the plates 8a, 8b is chosen such that when the draining device is folded up the upper edges of the plates 8a, 8b are at the level of the upper edges of the compartments 14. One can in this way place the folded drainer on its surface 16 and here as Use a small or scaled-down drainer = after use you can also use the folded one Place the draining device on the surface 17 and thereby accumulate more easily. Is the drip device on this area 17 is parked, its space requirement is particularly small with the usual accommodation options;

the drainer is also world-wide in this way covered and therefore less susceptible to dust.

In the unfolded state, the draining device 1 offers a large draining surface and enables thus drying numerous items of crockery at the same time.

As part of the innovation are numerous modifications of the illustrated and described embodiment possible.

For example, the elongated part with the compartments I ¹ I can be a separate, removable trough with its own walls.

The hinge can consist entirely of plastic without the use of metallic parts.

The draining device can consist of two separate parts that can be nested in one another in such a way that that one part is in the ribbed shell and the other part is outside the ribbed shell. One Another possibility is that the two components of the drip part are on the same side of the bowl (either inside or outside) are provided.

Claims (3)

• 1.1 J λ m .'J protection claims 1. Draining device for dishes, thereby characterized in that it consists of two parts connected to one another by a hinge consists, of which the substantially symmetrical one part is the actual drip part and the other forms a ribbed shell, the dimensions of which are greater than those of the symmetrically designed There are drip trays so that the tray can accommodate the drip tray, and furthermore this second part, designed as a shell, has a number of on the side facing the hinge Has open compartments for holding cutlery. 2. Drainer according to claim 1, characterized in that that the dimensions of the symmetrically formed dripped! les are chosen in such a way, that the upper edges of the drip part in the folded state of the drip device are at the same level as the upper edges of the cutlery compartments. 3. Drip device according to one of the preceding Claims, characterized in that the cutlery compartments form a detachable, elongated container. 7521124 15. Oi. 76
