Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

Industrial application fields

The present invention relates to an oil guard for a kitchen counter such as a sink or a stove stand.

Conventionally, in kitchens such as sinks and stovetops, oil from water splashes and smoke during cooking adheres to the nearby wall where the kitchen table is installed. However, the oil adhering to the joints of the tiles on the standing walls is difficult to clean, and the standing walls are moistened by the splashing water from the sink, causing mold.

Recently, as a solution for these problems, Japanese Patent No. 3641449, Japanese Patent No. 3658352, and the like have been proposed. The former is a method in which a pair of cylindrical holders provided with insertion grooves cut in the radial direction are fixed to a counter surface, and a glass plate as a protruding back plate is detachably attached to the insertion grooves. On the other hand, the latter is a method of fixing to the counter with a nut or the like from the back surface of the counter by penetrating the mounting rod through a mounting rod as a stainless steel mounting member on the left and right sides and the center lower end side of the partition plate. is there.

In the former patent, since the holder is fixed to the counter, there is a drawback that it is impossible to remove only the holder and that it takes time to attach the back plate to the insertion groove.
In the latter patent, a part of the mounting rod is notched along the axial direction, and the partition plate is fixed in a state where the partition plate is in surface contact with the notched surface as a fixed surface. There are disadvantages.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The problem of the present invention is that there is no need to fix the mounting rod to the counter surface or to tighten it with a nut from the back side of the counter as in the prior art, and the oil guard can be used by placing it on the kitchen counter surface. Is to provide an oil guard for kitchen counters that is simple and does not require time.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

A kitchen counter oil guard (hereinafter referred to as an oil guard) according to the present invention includes a pair of left and right main bodies 1 having an insertion groove 2 at the center and a soft resin packing member 3 attached to the upper inner surface of the insertion groove 2. It is characterized in that the partition plate 4 is detachably mounted in the insertion groove 2.

As described above, since the soft resin packing member 3 such as ABS or acrylic resin is attached to the upper inner surface of the insertion groove 2 of the oil guard body 1, the glassy material is produced by the elasticity and restoring force of this member. It is very easy to insert a resinous partition plate into the insertion groove 2 and attach or remove it for reasons such as cleaning, so that the standing wall or side wall on the back of the kitchen counter or counter is less contaminated. The effect is remarkable.

Further, since the oil guard body 1 can be used simply by placing it on the kitchen counter surface, it is possible to frequently clean all members without taking time.

The main body 1 used for the oil guard according to the present invention may basically have a square shape, a circular shape or a trapezoidal shape. In the case of a square shape or a trapezoidal shape, it is preferable that the insertion groove is cut in the center direction from the inner surface, and in the case of a circular shape, the insertion groove is cut in the radial direction.

If the main body 1 has a trapezoidal shape as shown in FIG. 1, the oil guard is more stable, which is more preferable.
The material of the main body 1 may be either metal or flame retardant resin, but aluminum is excellent because it is easy to process, has high strength, and has low adhesion due to static electricity.

As shown in FIG. 1, the oil guard according to the present invention includes an oil guard main body 1 placed on the upper surface of a kitchen counter and a partition plate 4 attached to the main body 1.

The main body 1 has an insertion groove 2 for mounting the partition plate 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the insertion groove 2 is cut in the central portion of the main body 1 in the outer direction of the main body 1, and the degree of the groove may be substantially the depth to the central portion of the main body 1. It extends to the lower part in the axial direction.

The relationship between the insertion groove 2 and the soft packing member 3 is shown in FIG. When the soft packing member 3 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1, it is applied to the inner surface of the main body 1, or is attached, or an insertion frame is provided in advance so that the main body 1 can be inserted into the frame portion. The soft packing member 3 may be formed by being embedded, but it is preferable to provide the soft packing member 3 because it is resistant to the mounting of the partition plate 4 in terms of strength and friction.

The thickness of the soft member may be appropriately determined depending on the thickness of the partition plate 4 used as the oil guard plate and the material of the partition plate. Moreover, as a soft packing member, what has appropriate elasticity is good, and ABS quality, an acrylic resin quality, etc. are suitable.

The partition plate 4 may be a glass plate, a resin plate, or a non-translucent material such as a metal plate.
