However, since the above-mentioned draining monkey discharges unnecessary water from a large number of draining holes provided on the side and bottom portions, it is difficult to drain the water by leaving it unattended. However, it is necessary to place a container such as a ball below the draining monkey to catch the discharged water. As a result, there is a problem that it takes time to prepare and clean up the device. Also, when receiving a colander with a ball, if the amount of water discharged into the ball is large, the water collected at the bottom of the ball may reattach to the food stored in the drainer, which not only causes poor drainage but also It becomes hygiene. On the other hand, when transferring the boiled food to the drained monkey together with the boiled juice, the drained monkey is placed directly at the bottom of the sink. When the replacement operation is performed, the boiled juice discharged at a stretch from the drain hole into the sink is temporarily stored in the sink, and easily adheres to the drain monkey including dirt on the inner surface of the sink. In addition, when exposing the food contained in the draining monkey to running water, the draining monkey is held by hand below the faucet, and other operations cannot be performed.

[0004] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and can be drained sanitarily and effectively,
An object of the present invention is to provide a drainer that can simplify a cooking operation.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a drain container of the present invention has a drain hole on at least a part of its peripheral surface, and a container body having an opening at the top is provided with a container. An engaging portion for detachably attaching the main body to a faucet portion of a tap is formed. Further, the locking portion may be extended in a hook shape from the peripheral edge of the upper opening of the container body to the outside in the horizontal direction. Further, the locking portion may be one in which the container body is attached below the water tap so as to face the tap.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of a drainage container according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The drainer 1 of this embodiment is made by injection-molding a synthetic resin such as polypropylene. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a large number of peripheral side surfaces 2 and a bottom surface 3 are provided. The container body 5 has a slit-shaped drainage hole 4 and is provided with a handle 6 and a hook 7 as a locking portion at an opening edge 51 of the container body 5 having an open top. The side part 2 of the container body 5 has a substantially elliptical shape in a plan view, and the lower part is bent inward as shown in FIG. 3, and the bottom part 3 is provided continuously to the side part 2. A support leg 8 is protrudingly provided on the back surface of the bottom portion 3. The opening edge 51 of the container body 5
It has a shape that is bent downward in a U-shape.
The handle 6 is slightly thicker than the opening edge 5.
1 are formed on both sides in the long axis direction. Hook 7
A rib 71 extending from the opening edge 51 outward in the horizontal direction and extending in a direction perpendicular to the opening edge 51 at one side in the short axis direction of the opening edge 51, And a tapered mounting portion 72 curved in an arc shape. And it is attachable to the base part of a water tap, and it is formed so that the container main body 5 may be opposed to a water tap when attached to the tap.

When using the drainer 1 of this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 4, the hook 7 is attached to the base B of the faucet A for water supply. Of the faucet A by the inner peripheral surface 720 of the opening portion 51 and the outer peripheral surface 510 of the opening edge portion 51 facing the inner peripheral surface 720.
Sandwich. In addition, when a part of the side portion 2 of the drainer 1 is brought into contact with the side wall of the sink, it is more stable. The bottom portion 3 of the draining container 1 attached to the faucet B of the tap water A by the hook 7 is sufficiently separated from the bottom surface (not shown) in the sink. When the food is stored and allowed to stand naturally for a while, water drops adhering to the vegetables and the like drop from the drain hole 4 of the drain container 1 into the sink, and unnecessary water is drained. As described above, unnecessary water is drained into the sink, so that drainage is good and sanitary. Further, since there is no need for a container such as a ball for receiving drainage at the bottom of the drainage container 1, work such as preparation and clearing is performed. Simplification can be achieved.

[0009] When draining the boiled juice of the boiled food, the food and the boiled juice may be transferred from a pot or the like to the draining container 1 attached to the faucet A. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a place for placing the drainage container 1 in the sink. In addition, a large amount of boiling juice is discharged into the sink at a time from the drain hole 4, but since the bottom portion 3 of the drain container 1 is sufficiently separated from the bottom surface in the sink, the boiling juice is easily discharged into the sink. Once discharged, the boiling juice does not adhere to the bottom surface 3 of the draining container 1 again. Therefore, drainage is good and sanitary. Furthermore, since the container main body 5 of the draining container 1 is attached below the faucet A so as to be opposed to the faucet A, it is only necessary to store foods requiring washing or the like in the draining container 1 and flow water from the faucet A. Can wash food. Further, if the water is stopped and left for a while, draining can be performed as described above. Therefore, since the operations from washing to draining can be performed consistently in one container, the operation can be simplified. Further, the drainage container 1 is easy to mold and is suitable for mass production. In addition, since the locking portion is the hook 7, it can be securely attached to the faucet A, and can be easily attached and detached. Further, since the handles 6 are provided at both ends of the opening edge 51 of the drainage container 1, the drainage container 1 can be easily carried and the hook 7 can be easily attached to the faucet A. Further, the hook 7 can also be used as a hanging tool for storing the drainage container 1.

The draining container 1 of the present embodiment has the hook 7 as the engaging portion. However, the shape of the engaging portion is not limited to the hook 7 and is attached to the base B of the faucet A. I just need. Further, if the hook 7 is formed of an elastic member, the hook 7 can be attached even when the base B of the faucet A to be attached is slightly larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the hook 7. Further, the material of the drainer 1 is not limited to synthetic resin and may be metal. The hook 7 is connected to the container body 5.
