Description

  The present invention relates to a lid used for a drain outlet of a sink.

  Conventionally, water (including hot water or mixed water) is stored in the sink, or dirt or other odor from the sewage is not leaked to the outside. For this purpose, a lid configured to appropriately cover the sink outlet is used.

  By the way, a commercially available deodorant is used to eliminate the off-flavor, but the commercially available deodorant needs to be installed in the garbage receptacle or the like. For this reason, in order to dispose of the waste accumulated in the garbage receptacle, it is necessary to perform work such as removing a deodorant installed in the garbage receptacle, and there is a problem that it takes time and effort.

  Therefore, prior to this application, the applicant of the present application has proposed a lid in which a medicine containing member having a deodorizing action and a breathable medicine containing member is detachably attached to the back side of the lid body ( Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-343234). With this lid, when processing the garbage in the garbage receptacle, the medicine storage member attached to the lid is also removed at the same time by removing the lid from the drain outlet, so there is a problem that it takes time and labor as described above. Absent.

  However, as a result of diligent research, the applicant of the present application has obtained a lid that is more preferable for reducing the size and weight and reducing the manufacturing cost.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and its purpose is not only to obtain a deodorizing action and the like of a strange odor from the drain outlet, but also to the treatment of the garbage in the garbage receptacle provided directly under the drain outlet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lid that is easy to perform and that can reduce the manufacturing cost as well as the size and weight.

  In order to achieve the above object, the lid of the present invention is configured in a sheet shape that covers and seals the drainage outlet of the sink in a water-retaining state, and has a deodorizing action or an agent that inhibits the formation of a biofilm. Alternatively, it is characterized in that it is formed so as to contain one or more drugs having antibacterial action (claim 1).

  Moreover, the lid | cover of this invention can be specifically formed using a nonwoven fabric (Claim 2).

  In the inventions according to claims 1 and 2, not only the deodorizing action of the off-flavor from the drain outlet is obtained, but it is also easy to treat the waste in the garbage receptacle provided directly under the drain outlet. A lid that can reduce the manufacturing cost as well as the weight can be obtained. That is, when the drainage port is covered with the lid of the present invention in a water retaining state, the periphery of the lid is in close contact with the periphery of the drainage port. And when the drainage port is covered with the lid, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the garbage catcher installed immediately below the drainage port of the sink or a strange odor from the sewage from leaking outside.

  Furthermore, when the lid contains a chemical having a deodorizing action, the off-flavor can be eliminated by this chemical, and the lid seals the drain outlet, so that the deodorizing function of the medicine is the drain outlet. This is intensively exerted in the space in the vicinity immediately below, and thereby, deodorization by the medicine is performed very effectively.

  Moreover, when the chemical | medical agent which inhibits formation of a biofilm is contained in the lid | cover, the formation of the biofilm in the peripheral part of a drain outlet or the garbage receptacle just under a drain outlet will be inhibited. Further, when the lid is made to contain a drug having an antibacterial action, the peripheral portion of the drain outlet and the garbage receptacle just below the drain outlet are sterilized and antibacterial, and are kept hygienic.

  In addition, since the lid of the present invention contains the medicine having the deodorizing action in the lid, the lid and the medicine etc. can be handled in an integrated manner, and the inside of the garbage receptacle provided directly under the drain outlet There is no problem of extra time, such as throwing away the garbage in the garbage receptacle after removing the medicine from the garbage receptacle. Furthermore, since the lid body is in the form of a sheet, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost as well as to reduce the size and weight.

  In addition to the above effects, the lid has a compact configuration, so that it is convenient for transportation and the like, and since it is very inexpensive, the lid can be used as a disposable type.

  In particular, in the invention according to claim 2, it is possible to further reduce the weight and thickness and to obtain a very inexpensive lid.

  1 and 2 are an exploded perspective view and a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing a configuration of a lid 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 2 denotes a chrysanthemum crack cover. This chrysanthemum crack cover 2 has an annular frame part 3 and a bottom part 4 having a circular shape in plan view. It is comprised by the several chrysanthemum crack tongue piece 5 provided in a row by the internal peripheral surface. The chrysanthemum crack cover 2 is detachably installed in the sink drain port 6, and a mesh-like dust catch 7 (see FIG. 2) is detachably installed immediately below the drain port 6. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 8 denotes a garbage receptacle container that detachably accommodates the garbage receptacle 7 and is connected to a drain pipe on the downstream side. The drain port 6 is formed to be detachably installed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the lid 1 is configured in a sheet shape that covers and seals the drain outlet 6 together with the chrysanthemum crack lid 2 in a water retaining state. And this lid | cover 1 is formed using the nonwoven fabric containing one or more of the chemical | medical agent which has the deodorizing effect | action, the chemical | medical agent which inhibits formation of a biofilm, or the antimicrobial effect | action. The lid 1 is a substantially circular member in plan view and has a diameter of about 180 mm.

  The non-woven fabric constituting the lid 1 has a water retaining property (moisturizing property) and has a mesh shape in which the eyes are tightly packed so as to have little air permeability.

  The agent having the deodorizing action preferably has a deodorizing action for removing the bad smell from the garbage and sewage adhering to the chrysanthemum lid 2 and the garbage receptacle 7, for example, manufactured by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd. Kesmon (trademark) can be used.

  As a drug that inhibits the formation of the biofilm, for example, dimer 38 (trade name: manufactured by Inui Co., Ltd.) that does not generate harmful gas and is highly safe for the human body can be used. The drug contains a quaternary ammonium salt as a main component. Here, a biofilm is an aggregate of microorganisms surrounded by slime discharged by microorganisms, and is a thin film of slime. If the formation of this biofilm is inhibited, a great effect can be obtained in preventing the occurrence of slime.

  Here, when the chemical | medical agent which inhibits formation of the said biofilm is added to the lid | cover 1, it is preferable that the addition amount (content) shall be 1-3 weight%, for example. This is because if the amount of the drug added is less than 1% by weight, the effect of inhibiting the formation of the biofilm tends to be lowered, and if it exceeds 3% by weight, the drug is uniformly mixed with the main material of the lid 1. This is because it becomes difficult.

  As the agent having antibacterial action, for example, Kabinon (trademark) manufactured by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd. can be used, and this agent contains a hybrid (composite) material of an isothiazoline organic agent and a silica inorganic agent.

  Here, when the chemical | medical agent which has the said antibacterial action is added to the lid | cover 1, it is preferable that the addition amount (content) shall be 2-10 weight%, for example. This is because when the amount of the drug added is less than 2% by weight, the antibacterial effect tends to decrease, and when it exceeds 10% by weight, it becomes difficult to uniformly mix the drug with the main material of the lid 1. It is.

  And the lid | cover 1 comprised as mentioned above is used by covering the drain outlet 6 in the state wetted with water (a hot water or mixed water is included) at the time of sleeping etc. which stops using a sink, for example. That is, when the drainage port 6 is covered with the lid 1 in a water retaining state, the periphery of the lid 1 comes into close contact with the periphery of the drainage port 6. When the drainage port 6 is covered with the lid 1, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the garbage receptacle 7 installed just below the sink drainage port 6 and odors from the sewage from leaking to the outside.

  Further, when the lid 1 contains a chemical having a deodorizing action, the off-flavor can be eliminated by this chemical, and the lid 1 seals the drain port 6, so that the chemical has a deodorizing function. Is intensively exerted in the space immediately below the drain port 6, whereby the deodorization by the medicine is performed very effectively.

  Here, a commercially available chlorine-based deodorant is used, for example, by being placed in the garbage receptacle 7. And, the odor of the drain outlet is eliminated by the chlorine gas generated from the chemical, but the generated chlorine gas may be one of the causes of deterioration of the rubber chrysanthemum lid, and the chlorine gas is used by the chlorine gas. There are also health problems for the elderly. However, the above-described Kesmon (trademark) used as a chemical having a deodorizing action in this embodiment is an inorganic deodorant that eliminates a bad odor by adsorption, and does not generate chlorine gas like the above chlorine-based deodorant. Therefore, it does not deteriorate the rubber chrysanthemum crack cover and does not harm the health of its users, etc., and is highly safe.

  Further, when the lid 1 contains a drug that inhibits the formation of a biofilm, a solution obtained by dissolving the drug in water used to wet the lid 1 is eluted around the lid 1. As a result, the formation of the biofilm in the peripheral portion of the drain port 6 and the garbage receptacle 7 just below the drain port 6 is inhibited.

  Further, when the lid 1 contains a drug having an antibacterial action, a solution obtained by dissolving the drug in the water used to wet the lid 1 is eluted around the lid 1, thereby The peripheral portion of the mouth 6 and the garbage receptacle 7 just below the drain port 6 are sterilized and antibacterial, and are kept hygienic.

  In addition to the above effects, the lid 1 has a compact configuration, so that it is convenient for transportation and the like, and since it is very inexpensive, the lid 1 can be used as a disposable type.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented with various modifications. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the diameter of the lid 1 is about 180 mm, but the size of the lid 1 may be appropriately set according to the size of the drain port 6 or the like.

  The lid 1 is not limited to a circular shape in plan view, and may be configured such that the plan view has an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, or the like.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows roughly the structure of the cover which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. It is a longitudinal section showing roughly the composition of the lid concerning one embodiment of the present invention.
