Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easily maintainable hair catcher capable of properly collecting hairs or the like on the downstream side. <P>SOLUTION: The hair catcher has a contour tilted downward from the upstream side to the downstream side, wherein the hair catcher is formed with a raised part 44 rising substantially in a horizontal state from the highest outer peripheral side 42 on the upstream side toward the center shaft 41. The raised part 44 interrupts the rotation of the hairs in draining, and the hairs are led to slide down from the upstream side to the downstream side, preventing the hairs or the like from entangling with the shaft 41 to be collected on the downstream side. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a hair catcher that is easy to care for.

Conventionally, there is a hair catcher as disclosed in Patent Document 1, and this hair catcher is configured by projecting a current plate on the upper surface of the collar.
In this hair catcher, since the hair does not entangle with the central plug shaft, the hair entangled with the buttocks can be easily extracted and removed simply by picking it with a finger and pulling it up.
JP 2002-121797 A

  However, in the structure of the hair catcher disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the current plate is triangular, when the drainage containing hair flows, the hair easily rotates along the outer periphery on the outer peripheral side of the current plate. For this reason, there has been a problem in that the rotation of the hair cannot be surely stopped and the hair may be entangled with the plug shaft.

An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-care hair catcher that eliminates the entanglement of the center of the hair and allows the hair to be removed well together. To achieve at least a part of this object, the following measures are taken. It was.
The hair catcher of the present invention has a downwardly inclined shape from the upstream side toward the downstream side, and the bulging portion is formed substantially horizontally from the highest outer peripheral side on the upstream side toward the central shaft portion. And

  In the hair catcher of the present invention, since the raised portion is formed in a substantially horizontal shape from the highest outer peripheral side on the upstream side toward the central shaft portion, when the wastewater containing hair flows from the upstream side to the downstream side, It is possible to prevent the hair from rotating well at the ridge, the hair flows without turning from upstream to downstream, and the hair can be gathered on the downstream side of the hair catcher, and the collected hair is easily removed And you can take care of the hair catcher.

Further, the hair catcher of the present invention has a downwardly inclined shape from the upstream side toward the downstream side, and is further formed with a partition portion that further rises from a high position on the upstream side and goes from the outer peripheral side toward the central shaft portion. Is the gist.
In this way, since the partition portion is formed so as to rise from the outer peripheral side toward the central shaft portion, this partition portion reliably prevents the rotation of the hair and allows the hair to flow well downstream, The hair can be captured together. Further, when cleaning the hair catcher, the partition portion can be picked up and lifted with a finger, which makes it easy to clean.

Moreover, the hair catcher of this invention can also be set as the structure by which the outer peripheral standing part which stands | starts up diagonally upward toward the outer side is formed over the outer peripheral side whole region.
By doing so, the hair and dust do not escape by the outer peripheral erected portion, and the hair and dust can be collected and collected at the fold portion between the outer peripheral erected portion and the inclined bottom surface.
Moreover, since the outer peripheral upright portion is inclined, it is easy to take out the collected hair and dust.

In the hair catcher of the present invention, on the surface inclined downward from the upstream side toward the downstream side, an upstream hole is provided upstream from the shaft portion, and a downstream hole is provided downstream from the shaft portion. And the upstream hole can be configured to have a smaller diameter than the downstream hole.
By doing so, the flow of the drainage is improved by enlarging the downstream hole, and hair and dust are likely to accumulate in the vicinity of the downstream hole along the flow of the drainage. On the other hand, even if hair or dirt accumulates on the downstream hole and the flow of drainage becomes poor, drainage is performed from the upstream hole, so that good drainage can be maintained. Further, since the upstream hole is smaller in diameter and upstream than the downstream hole, it is difficult for hair and dust to collect, and it is effective for maintaining drainage performance.

Moreover, in the hair catcher of this invention, it can also be set as the structure which provided the holeless part between the said upstream hole and the said downstream hole.
This makes it difficult to clean the inside of the drain hole, but the cleanability is improved by limiting the number of holes by providing a holeless portion. In addition, as for the position where the holeless portion is provided, the downstream hole handles wastewater containing waste, so that the downstream hole is as low as possible. In order to allow drainage, it is desirable that it be as high as possible. Therefore, it is preferable to provide it in a portion that is neither above nor below, that is, between above and below.

Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described using examples.
FIG. 1 is a perspective configuration diagram of a basin, and a drain hole 1b is formed in the bottom of the bowl portion 1a of the basin 1 so as to penetrate vertically. A pop-up valve 2 is attached to the drain hole 1b so as to be opened and closed in the vertical direction.
A shaft 3 is suspended from the center of the lower surface of the pop-up valve 2, and a hair catcher 4 and an overflow catcher 5 are provided on the shaft 3.

As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional configuration diagram of FIG. 2, the hair catcher 4 and the overflow catcher 5 are accommodated in a drainage device 6 provided at the lower portion of the drainage hole 1b.
In the drainage device 6, a reduced diameter portion 6b is integrally formed at the lower portion of the main body cylinder portion 6a, and a waterstop portion 6c is integrally formed at the upper end of the main body cylinder portion 6a so as to protrude outward. The flange portion 6c is attached and fixed to the lower surface of the bowl portion 1a with a screw 7.

  The drainage device 6 is integrally formed with an overflow hose connection portion 6d. An overflow hose 9 is connected to the overflow hose connection portion 6d via a cap nut 8, and the overflow water in the bowl portion 1a is supplied to the overflow hose. 9 is introduced. A trap tube 11 is connected to the lower end of the reduced diameter portion 6b via a cap nut 10.

  Near the upper end of the trap tube 11, a release 12 is inserted from the outside and connected to the lower end of the shaft 3, and the other end of the release 12 is connected to an operation button 14 provided on the attachment fixing portion 13. By operating this operation button 14, the pop-up valve 2 can be opened and closed by moving the shaft 3 in the vertical direction via the release 12.

A first embodiment of the hair catcher 4 provided below the pop-up valve 2 is shown in FIGS.
3 is a perspective configuration diagram of the hair catcher, FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the hair catcher viewed from the front side, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the hair catcher viewed from the direction A in FIG. FIG. 6 is a plan configuration diagram of FIG.

The hair catcher 4 is provided with a cylindrical shaft portion 41 in the vertical direction at the center, and the shaft portion 41 has a shaft hole 41a through which the shaft 3 can pass. On the outer peripheral side of the hair catcher 4, an outer peripheral upright portion 42 that rises obliquely upward toward the outside is formed over the entire region, and the bottom surface of the hair catcher 4 is downstream from the upstream side as shown in FIG. 5. The inclined bottom surface 43 is gently curved toward the side to form a downwardly inclined shape.
A bulging portion 44 is formed so as to bulge substantially horizontally from the highest outer peripheral side on the upstream side of the inclined bottom surface 43 toward the central shaft portion 41, and both sides of the bulging portion 44 are inclined surfaces 45, 45. A plurality of upstream holes 46, 46 are vertically formed through the inclined surfaces 45, 45, respectively.

In addition, a plurality of downstream holes 47 are formed on the downstream side of the shaft portion 41 so as to penetrate vertically. Further, between the plurality of downstream holes 47 and the upstream hole 46, holeless portions 48, 48 having no holes are formed from the outer peripheral side toward the central shaft portion 41.
In this example, the upstream hole 46 and the downstream hole 47 are round holes, but the upstream hole 46 has a smaller diameter than the downstream hole 47.

  In such a hair catcher 4, when the water in the bowl portion 1 a of the basin is drained from the drain hole 1 b, the hair contained in the drainage flows to the downstream side while rotating. In the catcher 4, the raised portion 44 is formed to rise to the upstream side, so that the hair cannot be rotated by being blocked by the raised portion 44, and the hair moves from the upstream side to the downstream side along the inclined bottom surface 43. The hair and dust do not escape by the outer peripheral upright portion 42, and the hair and dust can be well collected and collected in the fold portion between the outer peripheral upright portion 42 and the inclined bottom surface 43 on the downstream side.

Since the upstream hole 46 has a small diameter, the hair is unlikely to fall out, and the hair can be slid down to the downstream side well and collected well on the downstream side.
Since the rotation of the hair is stopped, it is possible to prevent the hair from getting tangled around the shaft portion 41.

Even if the downstream hole 47 is clogged by hair or dust collected on the downstream side, the upstream hole 46 is not clogged, so that it can be drained well through the upstream hole 46, and the drainage capacity Is sustained.
Since hair and dust can be collected on the downstream side in this way, the hair catcher 4 can be lifted upward from the drain hole 1b, and the hair collected on the downstream side can be picked and removed with a finger, so that cleaning is easy. It will be a thing. In addition, since the outer peripheral upright portion 42 is inclined, it is easy to take out the collected hair and dust. Further, although it is difficult to clean the inside of the drain hole, since the holeless portion 48 is provided to reduce the number of the holes 46 and 47, the cleaning property is improved and the hair catcher 4 is easily maintained.

Next, FIGS. 7 to 10 show a second embodiment of the hair catcher.
In the hair catcher 4 of the second embodiment, a shaft portion 41 having a shaft hole 41a extending in the vertical direction is formed in the center portion, and an outer peripheral upright portion 42 inclined upward toward the outer side is formed on the outer peripheral side. Is formed. Around the central shaft portion 41 is raised upward to form a raised portion 49, and a valley portion 50 is formed in a concave shape between the raised portion 49 and the outer peripheral upright portion 42. A plurality of holes 52 are vertically formed through the raised portion 49, valley portion 50, and outer peripheral upright portion 42.

  Also in the hair catcher 4 of this example, the bottom surface is an inclined bottom surface 43 inclined downward from the upstream side toward the downstream side, and is further raised upward from the highest upstream side of the inclined bottom surface 43 in a plate shape, A partition portion 51 extending from the outer peripheral upright portion 42 toward the shaft portion 41 is formed, and a recessed portion 51 a is formed in a recessed shape at the center of the upper surface of the partition portion 51.

  In the hair catcher 4 of the second embodiment as described above, the hair in the drainage flowing from the upstream side toward the downstream side flows while rotating, but since the partition portion 51 is raised, this partition portion is formed. The rotation of the hair is blocked by 51, the hair flows down from the upstream side to the downstream side along the inclination of the inclined bottom surface 43, and the hair and dust are collected well in the valley 50 on the lower downstream side. Since the rotation of the hair is stopped, it is possible to prevent the hair from getting tangled around the shaft portion 41.

When taking out the hair catcher 4 from the drain hole 1b upward, it is possible to pick up the vicinity of the concave portion 51a of the partition portion 51 with a finger and pull it up well, and it is possible to easily remove the collected hair and dust, The hair catcher 4 can be easily maintained.
In this example as well, even when hair or dust is accumulated on the downstream side, the water can be drained well through the hole 52 formed on the upstream side, so that the drainage capacity is maintained well.
In this example, the hole 52 upstream of the shaft portion 41 may be set to have a smaller diameter than the hole 52 downstream of the shaft portion 41. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a holeless portion is provided between the upstream hole 52 and the downstream hole 52.
