Description

The present invention relates to a container that can also be used as a garbage container, and mainly relates to a container used in a kitchen sink.

Traditionally, there are many types of products in containers such as garbage bins used in kitchen sinks, and inventions have also been made.

For example, the invention of a disposable garbage bag that is attached to a kitchen sink and used is one of them (see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2017-202878

However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 cannot be used repeatedly due to its "disposable" nature. In addition, although it relies on a seal (adhesive) for mounting on the sink, there is a high possibility that the mounting will become unstable due to the moisture around the sink. Also, if you try to change the mounting location after pasting once, it may not be mounted properly due to the decrease in adhesive strength. Further, there is a problem that the shape of the bag portion is deformed due to the weight of dust when it is put in.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve these problems, and can be freely attached to and detached from the sink without using a seal (adhesive), and is not disposable but can be used repeatedly and is hygienic. The challenge is to provide a suitable container.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a container body in which a drain hole is formed and can stand on its own while maintaining its own shape, and a flap extending outward from the upper edge of the container body. The container body and the flap are integrally molded from a silicon material.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to fix the container body by arranging the container body along the wall surface of the sink and then bringing the flap into surface contact with the top surface around the sink. Since it is fixed using the adhesive force of the silicon itself (of the flap), it does not become unstable like a seal (adhesive), and it can be replaced and used as many times as you like. it can. Moreover, since the whole is integrally molded with silicon, it can be easily washed and used repeatedly. Further, since the container body is made with rigidity enough to stand on its own, the shape does not collapse significantly even if some contents are contained.

Further, the upper edge portion of the container body has a straight line portion formed in a substantially straight line when viewed in a plan view, and the flap extends from the straight line portion.

By adopting such a configuration, the container body can be firmly fixed to the sink wall surface.

Further, the lower surface side of the flap is mirror-finished by polishing.

By adopting such a configuration, the adhesion of the flap is improved and the container body is more securely fixed.

Further, the flap is configured to have a thickness of 2 mm or less, preferably 1 mm or less.

By adopting such a configuration, the flap can flexibly follow not only a flat surface but also, for example, a "surface having a step" and can make surface contact, and the degree of freedom of the mounting location is increased.

Further, the thickness of the wall surface of the container body is configured to gradually decrease from the top to the bottom, and the thickness of the bottom surface of the container body is thicker than the thinnest portion of the wall surface. It is characterized by being composed.

By adopting such a configuration, it is easy to drain water by squeezing the contents from the surroundings while keeping the contents in the container body, and since the thickness of the bottom surface is secured, the contents can be put in. At that time, the bottom surface does not easily hang down, and it is easy to stand on its own.

By applying the present invention, it is possible to provide a hygienic container that can be freely attached to and detached from the sink without using a seal (adhesive) and that can be used repeatedly without being disposable.

Hereinafter, the sink removable container 100, which is an example of the embodiment of the present invention, will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, for the sake of easy understanding of the drawings, some parts are exaggerated in size and dimensions, and some parts do not necessarily match the actual product. In addition, each drawing shall be viewed in the direction of the code, and based on that direction, it is expressed as up / down / left / right, front, and back.

<Structure of removable sink container>
The sink detachable container 100 has a container body 102 formed in a bottomed substantially elliptical cylinder having a plurality of drain holes 103 formed on the bottom surface, and extends outward from the upper edge portion 104 of the container body 102. A flap 110 and a flap 110 are provided.

The container body 102 and the flap 110 are integrally molded of a silicon material, and are further configured to be flush with each other without steps (see the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2).

When the container body 102 is viewed in a plan view, it has a straight portion 105 in which a part of a substantially elliptical shape is linearly formed. The flap 110 is configured to extend horizontally from the straight line portion 105 on the upper edge portion 104 of the container main body 102 toward the outside of the container main body 102. Although it is drawn so as to extend straight in the horizontal direction on the drawing, in reality, in the free state, the silicon flap 110 hangs downward due to its own weight.

Further, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the thickness of the wall surface constituting the container main body 102 is configured to gradually decrease from the top to the bottom. That is, the lower thickness T2 is smaller than the upper thickness T1.

Further, the thickness of the bottom surface of the container body 102 is thicker than that of the thinnest portion of the wall surface thickness. That is, the thickness T3 of the bottom surface is configured to be thicker than the thickness T2 of the thinnest portion of the wall surface.

The flap 110 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and has a thickness of about 1 mm as a whole. Further, only the lower surface of the flap 110 is mirror-finished by polishing.

<Action / function of the sink removable container>
As shown in FIG. 3, the sink removable container 100 is arranged so that the container body 102 is in contact with the inner wall of the sink 10, and further, the lower surface of the flap 110 is placed on the top surface 12 around the sink 10. In surface contact. Basically, the installation is completed with just this work. At this time, it is preferable to attach the flap 110 so that the entire flap 110 is in complete contact with the top surface 12 so that the flap 110 is not wrinkled.

If moisture or the like remains on the top surface 12, it is preferable to wipe it off and then attach it. However, even if moisture remains, the flap 110 can be placed on the top surface 12 and pressed by hand from above. It is also possible to push the water around cleanly, but it is still firmly fixed with sufficient adhesion.

When removing or changing the mounting location, the flap 110 may be picked and peeled off, and then reattached to the desired position.

As described in the above configuration, the sink detachable container 100 shown as an example of the embodiment of the present invention has a container body 102 in which a plurality of drain holes 103 are formed and can stand on its own while maintaining its own shape, and this container. A flap 110 extending outward from the upper edge portion 104 of the main body 102 is provided, and the container main body 102 and the flap 110 are integrally formed of a silicon material.

By adopting such a configuration, the container body 102 is fixed along the wall surface of the sink 10 and then the flap 110 is brought into surface contact with the top surface 12 around the sink 10 to fix the container body 102. It is possible. Since it is fixed using the adhesive force of the silicon itself (of the flap 110), it does not become unstable like a seal (adhesive), and it can be replaced and used as many times as you like. Can be done. Moreover, since the whole is integrally molded with silicon, it can be easily washed and used repeatedly. Further, since the container body 102 is made with a rigidity sufficient to stand on its own, the shape of the container body 102 does not collapse significantly even if some contents are contained therein.

Further, the upper edge portion 104 of the container body 102 has a straight line portion 105 formed in a substantially straight line when viewed in a plan view, and the flap 110 extends from the straight line portion 105. As a result, the container body 102 can be firmly fixed to the wall surface of the sink 10.

Further, since only the lower surface of the flap 110 is mirror-finished by polishing, the adhesion of the flap 110 is improved and the container body 102 is more securely fixed.

The thickness of the flap 110 is configured to be 2 mm or less, preferably 1 mm or less throughout.

By adopting such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the flap 110 can flexibly follow not only a flat surface but also, for example, a "surface having a step" and can make surface contact, and the degree of freedom of the mounting location is increased. It is increasing. Even if the material to which the flap 110 is attached is other than stainless steel, there is no problem with, for example, resin, marble, wood, and other materials with a slightly rough surface, or surfaces that have been surface-processed and are not flat. It is possible to make close contact.

Further, the thickness of the wall surface of the container body 102 is configured to gradually decrease from the top to the bottom, and the thickness of the bottom surface of the container body 102 is thicker than the thinnest portion of the wall surface. It had been.

By adopting such a configuration, it is easy to drain water by squeezing the contents from the surroundings while keeping the contents in the container body 102, and the thickness of the bottom surface is secured, so that the contents can be removed. When entering, the bottom surface does not easily hang down, and it is easy to stand on its own.

Further, since the container body 102 is made to have a rigidity that allows it to stand on its own, it can be stored in a desired place as it is. At this time, the flap 110 may be bent so as to be inserted in the container body 102 (see FIG. 5) or hung on the outside of the container body 102 (see FIG. 6).
