Description

  The present invention relates to a draining basket used in a kitchen of a general household.

2. Description of the Related Art There has been a draining basket used in a kitchen that can be detachably attached to a storage shelf (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Registered Utility Model No. 3088587

  This invention makes it a subject to be able to attach or detach a draining basket smoothly to a storage shelf. Conventionally, as in Patent Document 1, a hook-shaped locking portion is provided outside the front and rear enclosures of the draining basket, and the draining basket is stored in the storage shelf by locking the locking portion to the horizontal support portion of the storage shelf. It is the structure attached to. In this structure, the height of about one third from the bottom of the draining basket is lower than the horizontal support. That is, when the draining basket is attached to the storage shelf, the lower third of the enclosure part before and after the draining basket descends inside the horizontal support part. Conversely, when removing the drain basket attached to the storage shelf, the lower third of the front and rear enclosures rises inside the horizontal support. Conventional draining baskets may lack smoothness when ascending or descending the inside of the horizontal support as described below.

  Most draining baskets currently in use are made of stainless steel wire. Therefore, the tableware and cooking utensil stored in such a draining basket can easily protrude from the bottom and the enclosure. In order to prevent this, the bottom wire is bent into various shapes so that, for example, a dish can be stably placed upright. However, in the draining basket, not only dishes but also various cooking utensils are stored, and there are many slender things in cooking utensils, so it is a daily experience that cooking utensils protrude from the enclosure It is. In addition, if tableware etc. is stored cluttered, it will also experience sliding out of the enclosure.

Thus, when the draining basket is attached to or detached from the storage shelf in a state where the cooking utensil or tableware protrudes from the enclosure of the draining basket, the protruding cooking utensil or tableware hits the horizontal support portion. Even if it doesn't stick out before attaching and detaching, cooking utensils and tableware are slippery, so they protrude when the draining basket tilts when attaching and detaching. Therefore, when attaching / detaching the draining basket to / from the storage shelf, cooking utensils and tableware should not protrude from the enclosure before attaching / detaching. Even if it is not sticking out, tilting the draining basket with your hand will cause the cooking utensils and tableware to slip, so you need to be careful and difficult to handle. Then, an object of this invention is to provide the draining basket which can be attached or detached smoothly to a storage shelf, even if the cooking utensils and tableware protrude from the enclosure part of the draining basket.

  Claim 1 of the present invention is a draining basket having a bottom and an enclosure, and prevents the draining basket from moving in a predetermined direction when the draining basket is placed on the placing portion of the storage shelf. The stopper is provided, and the stopper projects downward from the bottom.

Claim 2 is a draining basket having a bottom portion and an enclosure, and a stopper for preventing the draining basket from moving in a predetermined direction when the draining basket is placed on the placing portion of the storage shelf. It is the structure which is provided and the leg part is provided separately from this stopper.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the draining basket has a support structure for supporting the water receiving tray below the bottom thereof, and the stopper and the leg are arranged so that the supported water receiving tray can move only in one direction on the horizontal plane. An element that cooperates to prevent movement of the tray in the other direction is added to claim 2.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the stopper protrudes downward from the bottom, and at least a pair of stoppers are opposed to each other with a gap therebetween, and the draining basket is mounted on the mounting portion which is two parallel bars of the storage shelf. When the tray is supported below the bottom part and below the placement part, and each placement part is located inside the opposing stopper, the pair of opposite side parts of the tray are respectively placed on the respective placement parts. The element extending in the space region directly below the mounting portion is added to claim 3.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the stopper on one side that faces the other protrudes below the stopper on the other side, and the stopper on one side prevents the tray from moving to one side, and the stopper on the other side is the tray. The element which does not prevent the movement to the other side is added to claim 3 or claim 4.

Claim 1 is provided with a stopper for preventing the draining basket from moving in a predetermined direction when the draining basket is placed on the placing portion of the storage shelf, and the stopper is provided below the bottom. It is the structure which protrudes. Here, when the draining basket is placed on the placing portion of the storage shelf, it means that the draining basket is placed such that the bottom of the draining basket is above the placing portion. It does not include that the bottom portion of the draining basket descends below the mounting portion and the locking portion provided in the enclosure locks to the mounting portion. Therefore, when the draining basket is attached to and detached from the storage shelf, the bottom of the draining basket does not fall below the mounting portion. Thereby, even if the cooking utensil or tableware stored in the draining basket protrudes from the enclosure part, it does not hit the mounting part, and the draining basket can be attached and detached smoothly. In addition, since a stopper that prevents the draining basket from moving in the specified direction is provided, the stopper can be provided in a direction that is easy to come off from the mounting part when the draining basket moves, so that the draining basket can be effectively dropped. Can be prevented.

Claim 2 is a draining basket having a bottom portion and an enclosure, and a stopper for preventing the draining basket from moving in a predetermined direction when the draining basket is placed on the placing portion of the storage shelf. A leg portion is provided separately from the stopper. Since the stopper and the leg have different purposes, it is possible to obtain an optimum structure for these purposes by providing them separately.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the draining basket has a support structure for supporting the water receiving tray below the bottom thereof, and the stopper and the leg are arranged so that the supported water receiving tray can move only in one direction on the horizontal plane. Collaborate to prevent movement of the tray in the other direction. Therefore, since the stopper prevents the draining basket from moving in a predetermined direction and also prevents the tray from moving, the structure is simplified and the appearance is good.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the stopper protrudes downward from the bottom, and at least a pair of stoppers are opposed to each other with a gap therebetween, and the draining basket is mounted on the mounting portion which is two parallel bars of the storage shelf. When the tray is supported below the bottom part and below the placement part, and each placement part is located inside the opposing stopper, the pair of opposite side parts of the tray are respectively placed on the respective placement parts. It extends to the space area directly below the mounting part. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to lift the drainage basket placed on the storage shelf when the tray is supported by the drainage basket, the tray cannot be lifted because the side of the tray hits the lower surface of the placement part. The tray must be removed when lifting and removing. The tray contains water that has fallen from cooking utensils, dishes, etc., so if you can remove the draining basket from the storage shelf with the tray attached, you can remove the tray while you are removing it or while you are carrying the draining basket. There is a risk of spilling water. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the drainer basket from being removed from the storage shelf while the tray in which water is accumulated is inadvertently attached.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the stopper on one side that faces the other protrudes below the stopper on the other side, and the stopper on one side prevents the tray from moving to one side, and the stopper on the other side is the tray. Does not prevent movement to the other side. Therefore, since the tray can be taken in and out of the tray support structure under the other stopper, there is an effect that the stopper does not become an obstacle to the tray in and out.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. The draining basket 1 is entirely formed of a stainless steel wire. The draining basket 1 is formed in a rectangular shape, and has a bottom part 2, a front enclosure part 3, a rear enclosure part 4, and lateral enclosure parts 5 and 5. The draining basket 1 may be formed of other materials and may not be rectangular. As shown in FIG. 2, leg portions 6 and 6 bent in a J-shape when viewed from the front face are provided on opposite lower surfaces on both sides of the bottom portion 2. The leg portions 6 and 6 are made of stainless steel wires, and are bent by a U-shape before being bent into a J-shape, and are formed by bending the opposite side portions 7 and 7 with the same curvature. These leg portions 6 and 6 extend from the front side to the rear side of the bottom portion 2. By bending the legs 6 and 6 into a J-shape, the water tray 8 can be supported between the legs 6 and 6. The supported tray 8 is blocked by the legs 6 and 6 and does not move to both sides. Further, the upper end of the supported tray 8 and the bottom 2 of the draining basket 1 are not close to each other, and a predetermined interval is provided as will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, front stoppers 9 and 9 are provided on the front lower surface of the bottom portion 2, and rear stoppers 10 and 10 are provided on the rear lower surface of the bottom portion 2. These front stoppers 9 and 9 and rear stoppers 10 and 10 are formed by bending a stainless steel wire into a U shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the front stoppers 9, 9 project vertically downward, and project from the upper end of the tray 8 supported by the legs 6, 6 to a height slightly above. Therefore, the tray 8 supported by the leg portions 6 and 6 can be attached and detached through the lower side of the front stoppers 9 and 9. In addition, a predetermined interval is provided between the front stoppers 9 and 9 and the side portions 7 and 7 of the leg portions 6 and 6 adjacent thereto.

The rear stoppers 10 and 10 protrude obliquely downward so as to gradually move away from the draining basket and protrude to the height of the lower end of the leg portion 6. Therefore, even if the force which inclines the draining basket 1 back is added, the rear stoppers 10 and 10 become a support and prevent the draining basket 1 from falling backward. Further, the tray 8 supported by the leg portions 6 and 6 is prevented from moving backward by hitting the rear stoppers 10 and 10. A predetermined space is provided between the rear stoppers 10 and 10 and the side portions 7 and 7 of the leg portions 6 and 6 adjacent thereto. This is because the horizontal bars 19 and 20 of the storage shelf 11 pass through the predetermined interval as will be described later.

  Next, the case where the present invention is used by being attached to the storage shelf 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the storage shelf 11 has a pair of U-shaped frames 12 and 12. Each of the frames 12 and 12 includes a lower frame 13 and 13, a vertical frame 14 and 14, and an upper frame 15 and 15, respectively. A part of the upper frame 15 is inserted into the tubular vertical frame 15 and can be changed in height by screws 16. Beams 17 and 18 are installed between the vertical frames 14 and 14 to support the frames 12 and 12. Horizontal bars 19, 20 are installed between the upper frames 15, 15 and serve to place the draining basket 1. Reference numeral 21 denotes a fall-preventing metal fitting formed of a stainless steel wire, and the end of the storage shelf 11 can be prevented from falling backward by attaching the end portions thereof to the holes of the lower frame 12 and the vertical frame 14. . Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the storage shelf 11 can be reliably fixed to the sink of the sink by the fixing bracket 22. The fixing bracket 22 is formed by bending a metal plate into a U-shape. The lower end reaches the sink of the sink so as to straddle the lower frame 12, and the screw 23 is tightened and fixed. At that time, if the contact plate 24 is placed at the tip of the screw 23, the sink is not damaged.

  When the draining basket 1 is placed on the horizontal bars 19, 20, it is placed with the tray 8 removed. This is because if the tray 8 is supported by the draining basket 1, the tray 8 will hit the horizontal bars 19 and 20. As described above, there is a predetermined distance between the front stoppers 9 and 9 and the side portions 7 and 7 of the leg portions 6 and 6 adjacent to the front stoppers 9 and 9, and the rear stoppers 10 and 10 are adjacent to them. A predetermined space is provided between the side portions 7 and 7 of the leg portions 6 and 6. By passing the horizontal bars 19 and 20 through these predetermined intervals, the draining basket 1 is properly placed on the horizontal bars 19 and 20. When the draining basket 1 is placed, the front stoppers 9 and 9 are along the front side of the horizontal bar 19, and the rear stoppers 10 and 10 are along the rear side of the horizontal bar 20. Thereby, the movement to the front and back of the draining basket 1 mounted can be prevented. If the tray 8 is inserted into the space between the leg portions 6 and 6 after placing the draining basket 1, it can be supported by the leg portions 6 and 6. Further, when the draining basket 1 moves on the horizontal bars 19 and 20 in the length direction, the front stoppers 9 and 9 and the rear stoppers 10 and 10 are guided along the horizontal bars 19 and 20 to guide the draining basket 1. Make.

  When the tray 8 is inserted into the space between the legs 6 and 6 after the draining basket 1 is placed on the horizontal bars 19 and 20, the horizontal bars 19 and 20 are placed above the front and rear sides 25 and 25 of the tray 8. 20 will pass. Therefore, even if it is attempted to lift the draining basket 1 in this state, the front and rear side portions 25 and 25 of the tray 8 cannot hit the horizontal bars 19 and 20 for lifting. When the draining basket 1 is moved away from the storage shelf 11, the tray 8 must be taken out. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent water from being spilled on the way by moving the tray in which water has accumulated while being attached to the draining basket 1.
