It has an outer shape. A vertical bar 22 projects from the upper surface of the base 21.

  The vertical bar 22 has a bar shape that is open with a tip protruding upward from the upper surface of the base part 21 as a free end, and a plurality of the vertical bars 22 are arranged in a substantially circular shape in the circumferential direction of the base part 21. It is.

  The base part 31 of the second catch member 3 has a substantially circular outer shape in plan view similar to the base part 21 of the first catch member 2. A horizontal bar 32 is attached to the lower surface of the base portion 31.

  The horizontal bar 32 is located below the lower surface of the base portion 31 and is provided substantially parallel to the surface formed by the base portion 31 (inclination of about 0 to 30 ° is possible). In the present embodiment, a spiral shape is located in the base portion 31 having a substantially annular shape in plan view, and one end side of the spiral is attached to the lower surface of the base portion 31, and the other end side is the base portion 31. It is located below the lower surface and is open as a free end.

  Further, the opening 30 in the base portion 31 having a substantially circular shape in plan view is formed from the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32 when the opening 30 is combined with the first catch member 2 and disposed in the drain outlet as will be described later. It is arrange | positioned in the position higher than the lattice-shaped catch part 4 which becomes, and functions as an overflow port.

  The hair catcher 1 is a combination of a first catch member 2 and a second catch member 3. That is, the vertical bar 22 protrudes upward with the base 21 of the first catch member 2 as the lower side, and the horizontal bar 32 is positioned downward with the base 31 of the second catch member 3 as the upper side. The vertical bar 22 of the first catch member 2 is inserted so as to intersect the horizontal bar 32 of the second catch member 3, and the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32 constitute the lattice-like catch portion 4. To use. The first catch member 2 and the second catch member 3 are fixed by a hole or a recess in which the tip portion of the vertical bar 22 of the first catch member 2 is inserted into the base portion 31 of the second catch member 3. (Not shown), and the vertical bar 22 is inserted and fixed in the hole or recess, or is fitted into the vertical bar 22 in which a plurality of spiral horizontal bars 32 are arranged in a substantially circular shape. However, it may be fixed by a pressure contact force between the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32, or may be fixed by other fixing means, and is not particularly limited. Thus, the hair catcher 1 which combined the 1st catch member 2 and the 2nd catch member 3 is arrange | positioned in a drain outlet.

  And after using as the hair catcher 1, the hair catcher 1 is taken out from a drain outlet, the 1st catch member 2 and the 2nd catch member 3 are picked and pulled apart, and the vertical bar 22 of the 1st catch member 2 is made into 1st. Pull out from the horizontal bar 32 of the second catch member 3 and remove it. The lattice-shaped catch portion 4 is separated into the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32 separately, and the hair caught on the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32 is removed separately with the vertical bar 22 and the horizontal bar 32, respectively. To go. The hair caught on the vertical bar 22 can be removed by picking it with a finger, moving it from the base portion 21 side toward the tip side, and pulling it out from the tip. Similarly, the hair caught on the horizontal bar 32 is also removed with a finger. It can be removed by picking and moving it from the spiral base 31 side toward the distal end and pulling it out from the distal end. When removing the hair caught on the lattice-shaped catch part 4 as it is, it is necessary to pick the hair with a finger and peel it off, but a large amount of hair cannot be removed in one operation.
