Description

  The present invention relates to a shelving rack that hardly retains residual water due to surface tension.

  Patent Document 1 is known as a shelf for watering arranged in a watering space such as a bathroom, a shower room, a washroom, and a kitchen.

  By the way, the water circulation shelf 4 disposed in the water circulation space is flooded with water, so it is necessary to quickly drain the water W applied to the upper surface 1a so that no residual water remains on the upper surface 1a. There is.

  In order to drain the water applied to the upper surface 1a, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9, a water gradient of about 1 to 5 degrees is provided on the upper surface 1a of the water circulation shelf 4 toward the rear edge 2 side, The water W applied to the upper surface 1a of the water circulation shelf 4 is drained to the rear end side 2 side.

  However, the rear end side 2 of the water supply shelf 4 arranged in the conventional water supply space is generally formed in a straight line, and the rear end side 2 thus formed in a straight line has a uniform surface. Since the tension is generated, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a problem that the water W remains as residual water at the end of the upper surface 1a of the watering shelf 4 due to the surface tension.

  In FIG. 9, the mounting leg 5 is vertically suspended at the center of the rear end side 2, and the mounting leg 5 is fitted into the fitting recess 9 of the receiving member 8 attached to the wall surface 7. For this reason, in the central portion of the rear end side 2 of the water circulation shelf 4, the remaining water is sucked by the capillarity to the side of the receptacle 8, and there is no residual water. Water W remains as residual water due to surface tension on both sides of the rear edge 2.

JP 2009-261624 A

  The present invention was invented in view of the problems of the above-described conventional example, and with a simple configuration, the surface tension at the rear end side is destroyed and drained effectively, and the surface tension along the rear end side is increased by the surface tension. It aims at providing the shelf for watering which can suppress remaining water remaining.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

  The shelf for water supply according to the present invention is provided with a water gradient inclined downward toward the rear end side 2 that is linear or substantially linear on the upper surface 1 a of the shelf main body 1, and the rear end side 2 of the shelf main body 1. A small protrusion 3 for breaking the surface tension is projected from a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction toward the rear.

  With such a configuration, when the water W applied to the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 flows to the rear end side 2 along the water gradient and is drained, the water W finally has a surface tension along the rear end side. The remaining water proceeds to the upper surface of the small protrusion 3, causes variation in the surface tension at the rear edge 2, destroys the surface tension, and drains the water W from the periphery of the small protrusion 3. Thus, residual water can be suppressed from remaining due to surface tension.

  Further, it is preferable that the upper surface 3 a of the small protrusion 3 is flush with the upper surface 1 a of the shelf body 1.

  By adopting such a configuration, the water flowing from the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 to the rear end side 2 smoothly flows and drains as it is to the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3, and the remaining water is applied to the rear end side 2 by surface tension. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, it is preferable that it is the downward inclined surface 3b inclined downward so that the protrusion front-end | tip part of the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 may become so that the front-end | tip may become down.

  With such a configuration, the water that has flowed from the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 to the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 via the rear end side 2 is smoothly lowered downward from the downward inclined surface 3b of the protruding front end portion of the small protrusion 3. It is possible to suppress the remaining water from remaining on the rear end side 2 due to the surface tension.

  In the present invention, as described above, since the small protrusions for breaking the surface tension protrude outwardly on the rear end side of the shelf body that is straight or substantially linear, the surface tension at the rear end side It is possible to cause the surface tension to be broken by causing a variation in the surface, drain water from the periphery of the small protrusions, and prevent residual water from remaining due to the surface tension.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  1 to 5 show an embodiment of the watering shelf 4 of the present invention, and FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the watering shelf 4.

  The water circulation shelf 4 is composed of a plate-like shelf body 1 and mounting legs 5 that are suspended from the rear end side 2 of the shelf body 1. FIG. 1 shows an example of a small watering shelf 4 with a mounting leg 5 suspended from the longitudinal center of the rear edge 2, and FIG. 6 shows an example of a large watering shelf 4. The mounting legs 5 are vertically suspended from two locations in the longitudinal direction 2.

  Standing protrusions 6 project from the front end side and the left and right end sides of the shelf body 1 so that the object to be placed on the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 does not fall out from the front end side and the left and right end sides. The upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 is inclined downward toward the rear end side 2 and is provided with a water gradient. The angle of the water gradient is such that when a container such as shampoo or soap is placed on the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1, the gradient does not hinder the placement of these containers, for example, 1 to 5 degrees. .

  The rear end side 2 of the shelf body 1 is a straight line or a substantially straight line. A small protrusion 3 for breaking the surface tension is provided on the rear end side 2 so as to protrude outward (backward in the illustrated embodiment). The straight line or the substantially straight line of the rear end side 2 is divided by the small protrusion 3 part.

  The small projections 3 are projected at a plurality of positions in the longitudinal direction of the rear end side 2, but a plurality of small projections 3 are projected at a portion excluding a portion where the mounting leg 5 is suspended.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an example is shown in which small protrusions 3 are provided so as to protrude from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rear end side 2.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, as described above, the mounting legs 5 are suspended from the two positions in the longitudinal direction of the rear end side 2. One or more small protrusions 3 protrude between them, and one or more small protrusions 3 protrude so as to equally divide the mounting legs 5 on the rear end side 2.

  In any of the embodiments, the small protrusion 3 protruding from the longitudinal end of the rear edge 2 is formed by the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 and the inner surface of the rising protrusion 6 as shown in FIG. Since the corner portion is a rounded surface, it is preferable that the small protrusion 3 protrudes from a portion corresponding to the end portion of the rounded surface at the end portion of the rear end side 2 in the longitudinal direction.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the plurality of small protrusions 3 are set such that, for example, the distance between the mounting legs 5 and the small protrusions 3 and the distance between the small protrusions 3 are several tens of mm (for example, 50 mm). .

  The top surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is narrower toward the tip in plan view, and an example of a trapezoidal shape in plan view is shown in the accompanying drawings. The upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is continuous with the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1, and a downward inclined surface 3b inclined downward so that the protruding tip of the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is at the lower end. It has become.

  The size of the small protrusion 3 is a protruding length and a protruding width of several mm. For example, the protruding length of the small protrusion 3 is 3 mm, the length from the protruding base to the downward inclined surface 3b is 2 mm, and the protruding base The lateral width is 7 mm, and the lateral width of the protruding tip is 5 mm.

  The water shelf 4 having the above-described configuration is attached to a wall surface 7 of a water space such as a bathroom, a shower room, a washroom, and a kitchen.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the attachment. The holder 8 is attached to the wall surface 7, and the water rack 4 is attached by fitting the attachment leg 5 into the fitting recess 9 of the receptacle 8. .

  The attachment to the wall surface 7 of the water shelf 4 is not limited to the above example, and other arbitrary attachment means can of course be employed.

  The water shelf 4 is attached so that a small gap is formed between the rear end side 2 of the shelf body 1 and the wall surface 7, and the small protrusion 3 is attached so that the protruding tip is not in contact with the wall surface 7.

  A container such as shampoo or soap is placed on the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 of the watering shelf 4 attached as described above. Since the water shelves 4 are disposed in the water space, water W is applied. The water W applied to the water shelf 4 flows toward the rear end side 2 along the water gradient formed on the upper surface 1 a, and flows down from the rear end side 2 through the small gap between the rear end side 2 and the wall surface 7. To do.

  Thus, at the end of draining the water W from the rear end side 2, a phenomenon occurs in which residual water remains due to the surface tension acting along the rear end side 2 that is linear or substantially linear.

  However, in the present invention, as described above, the small protrusions 3 for breaking the surface tension are provided so as to project rearward from a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the rear end side 2 that are linear or substantially linear. Even if residual water is left by the surface tension along the rear end 2 that has become a straight line or a substantially straight line, the water W advances to the upper surface of the small protrusion 3 as shown in FIG. 5b, the surface tension is destroyed, and water W is drained from the periphery of the small protrusion 3 as shown in FIG. 5 (b) → FIG. 5 (c), and the residual water remains along the rear edge 2 due to the surface tension. Suppress.

  Here, as described above, since the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is flush with the upper surface 1a of the shelf main body 1, the water W flowing from the upper surface 1a of the shelf main body 1 to the rear end side 2 remains as it is. 3 flows smoothly to the upper surface 3a and is drained, and residual water can be suppressed from remaining on the rear edge 2 due to surface tension. Moreover, since the protrusion front-end | tip part of the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is the downward inclined surface 3b, the water W which flowed from the upper surface 1a of the shelf main body 1 to the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 via the rear edge 2 is a small protrusion. It is possible to prevent the remaining water from remaining on the rear end side 2 due to the surface tension even more smoothly from the downward inclined surface 3b of the projecting front end portion 3 of the projection.

  Furthermore, as shown in the attached drawings, the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is made narrower toward the front end in a plan view, so that the upper surface of the small protrusion 3 passes from the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1 through the rear end side 2. The water W that has flowed to 3a naturally flows downward from both sides and the tip while flowing on the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3, and sucks the water W that is to remain in the surface tension on the rear end side 2 side. It is possible to further suppress the remaining water from remaining due to the surface tension along the rear edge 2.

  In addition, in the location where the mounting leg 5 of the rear end side 2 is suspended, it is sucked to the receiving device 8 side by capillary action, so there is no residual water in this portion.

  In addition, the rear end side 2 is formed with a rounded surface 10 or an inclined surface as shown in FIG. 7A to improve drainage from the rear end surface. It is also possible to prevent residual water from remaining due to surface tension. In this, drainage is smooth and residual water can be prevented from remaining due to surface tension.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3 is positioned lower than the upper surface 1a of the shelf body 1, and the rounded surface 10 and the inclined surface of the rear end 2 that becomes the rounded surface 10 and the inclined surface. Then, the water W may flow on the upper surface 3a of the small protrusion 3.

  As an applied technique of the present invention, it is also conceivable that a small protrusion 3 is provided on the rear edge 2 so as to break the surface tension of the water W.
