TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pail in which a pail is integrally provided with a handle.

A pail in which a handle is integrated with a pail is used in a bathroom, for example. A bather, for example, scoops up hot water in a bathtub with a pail and pours it over the body to wash off soap, dirt, and the like. Conventionally, there has been proposed a pail in which a hook portion for hooking on the rim of a bathtub or a towel rack is provided integrally with the pail portion (see Patent Documents 1 to 4, for example).

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-138491 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-118489 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-108388 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-124091

A pail used in a bathroom is often stained with soap, dirt, and the like, and is often left in a bathroom with high humidity even after use. In order to prevent the growth or propagation of mold and germs, it is desirable to drain and dry the used pail. However, in the pails described in Patent Documents 2, 3, and 4, the opening of the pail faces upward when the hook portion is hooked on the edge of the bathtub. In this state, hot water containing dirt such as soap and dirt remains in the tub, and mold and germs tend to proliferate or breed in the tub.

On the other hand, in the pail described in Patent Document 1, for example, when the hook part is hooked on a towel rail fixed to the wall surface of the bathroom, the opening of the pail faces diagonally downward and the water is drained. However, the pail described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a hook portion at a position shifted straight from the handle toward the bottom wall side of the pail, that is, directly below the handle, and the tip of the hook is positioned at the handle. curved to the side. For example, when the hook portion of the pail having such a structure is hooked on a towel rack, the pail portion protrudes greatly toward the bathroom, which sometimes interferes with bathing and cleaning the bathroom.

Further, Patent Literature 1 discloses a pail provided with a hook portion at a position facing the handle portion with the pail portion sandwiched therebetween. The hook protruded from the open end of the tub in the direction opposite to the bottom wall of the tub, that is, above the tub, and the tip was bent toward the tub. A pail having such a structure protrudes greatly from the bathroom wall toward the bathroom because the hook is hooked on the towel rack with the opening of the pail facing the wall of the bathroom. I got in the way when cleaning the bathroom.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a technique for draining water from a pail in which a handle and a hook are integrally provided on the pail so as not to interfere with bathers and cleaners. intended to provide

One aspect of the present invention has the following configuration. (1) A pail in which a handle and a hook are integrally provided on a pail having a peripheral wall along the bottom wall, wherein the handle and the hook are provided at opposite positions across the peripheral wall. , wherein the hook portion is provided toward the bottom wall side from a position closer to the bottom wall than the handle portion.

A pail having such a structure is hooked on a towel rail with the opening of the pail facing the bathroom and the bottom wall facing diagonally downward. Hot water adhering to the pail flows down from the pail to the handle by its own weight, and is discharged outside from the tip of the handle, so that the pail 1 is drained. Since the hook part of the pail is provided near the bottom wall of the pail part, the hook part may be provided directly below the handle part, or the hook part may be placed on the opposite side of the handle part across the pail part from the open end of the pail part. Compared to the case where the hook part is provided so as to protrude upward, when the hook part is hooked on the towel rack, the amount of protrusion of the tub part from the wall surface of the bathroom to the bathroom side can be reduced. Therefore, according to the pail configured as described above, it is possible to drain the water by hanging it on a towel rack or the like so as not to disturb bathers and cleaners.

(2) In the pail described in (1), the handle has a recess opening in the same direction as the pail, and the connecting portion between the inner peripheral surface of the recess and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall is arcuate. is preferably formed in

For example, when a pail having such a structure is hung on a towel rack via a hook, hot water adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the pail is collected in the concave portion of the handle and discharged from the tip of the handle. Cheap.

(3) In the pail described in (1) or (2), the pail portion has a stepped portion at a position corresponding to the hook portion, and the hook portion has a hook groove between the stepped portion. is preferably formed.

In the pail having such a structure, the hook portion can be easily provided inside the opening edge of the pail portion. can be made smaller.

(4) The pail according to any one of (1) to (3) is preferably self-supporting with the hook portion facing downward.

A pail having such a structure can stand on its own to drain water even if there is no towel rack or no towel rack is used.

(5) In the pail described in (4), when the hook part is on the lower side and it stands on its own, the part of the peripheral wall corresponding to the hook part faces the opening end side opposite to the bottom wall. Preferably, the hook portion is provided on the peripheral wall so as to be located below the closed end side located on the bottom wall side.

When the pail having such a structure stands on its own, the hot water that has flowed down to the portion of the peripheral wall of the pail corresponding to the hook portion naturally flows out from the opening of the pail, making it easy to drain.

(6) In the pail described in (4) or (5), the peripheral wall is provided so as to expand in diameter from the bottom wall side toward the side opposite to the bottom wall, and It is preferable that the hook portion is inclined and the hook portion is provided in a direction perpendicular to the opening edge of the tub portion.

When the pail having such a structure stands on its own with the hook portion facing downward, a gap is formed between the pail portion and the hook portion and the installation surface, and ventilation can be ensured. In addition, the area where the hook portion contacts the installation surface can be reduced when the pail stands on its own. Therefore, according to the pail having the above configuration, it is possible to hygienically drain the water while standing on its own.

(7) In the pail described in any one of (4) to (6), it is preferable that the hook portion has a bent portion and a through hole is formed in the bent portion.

When the pail having such a structure stands on its own, it is difficult for hot water and water to accumulate in the hook portion, and it is possible to suppress the growth or breeding of mold, germs, and the like on the hook portion.

According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a technique for draining water from a pail that can be hung on a towel rack or the like via a hook portion so as not to interfere with bathers, cleaners, and the like.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pail 1 is a molded plastic product, and a pail portion 2 is integrally provided with a handle portion 4 and a hook portion 6 . The handle portion 4 and the hook portion 6 are provided at opposite positions with the tub portion 2 interposed therebetween.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tub portion 2 is provided with a peripheral wall 23 along a bottom wall 21 and has a cup shape that is open on one side. As shown in FIG. 7, the bottom wall 21 is provided substantially parallel to the opening edge 2b of the tub portion 2. As shown in FIG. The peripheral wall 23 is provided so as to increase in diameter from the side of the bottom wall 21 toward the side opposite to the bottom wall 21 (the side of the opening of the tub 2 ), and is inclined with respect to the opening edge 2 b of the tub 2 .

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 , the peripheral wall 23 has the handle 4 protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface of the end located on the opposite side of the bottom wall 21 . The handle 4 is flush with the opening edge 2b of the tub 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the handle 4 is formed to have a semicircular shape or a D shape when viewed from the tip side, so that it can be easily gripped by hand.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the handle 4 has a concave portion 41 that opens in the same direction as the tub portion 2, and the inner peripheral surface 41a of the concave portion 41 is formed in an arc or D shape. The concave portion 41 has a gently inclined surface 41 c at a position corresponding to the tip of the handle portion 4 . A connection portion 5 where the inner peripheral surface 41a of the recess 41 and the inner peripheral surface 2a of the barrel portion 2 (the inner peripheral surface 23a of the peripheral wall 23) are connected is formed in an arc shape, and the inner peripheral surface 41a of the recess portion 41 and the barrel portion are connected. 2 (the inner peripheral surface 23a of the peripheral wall 23) are gently connected.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7 , the peripheral wall 23 is provided with the hook portion 6 at a position opposite to the handle portion 4 in the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall 23 . The hook portion 6 is provided from a position closer to the bottom wall 21 than the handle portion 4 toward the bottom wall 21 side. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the hook portion 6 is provided inside the opening edge 2b of the tub portion 2, and as shown in FIG. is provided.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7 , the tub portion 2 has a stepped portion 25 at a position corresponding to the hook portion 6 . The stepped portion 25 is provided so as to be recessed radially inward with respect to the peripheral wall 23 . A hook groove 61 is formed between the hook portion 6 and the stepped portion 25 . The hook portion 6 is provided in a direction perpendicular to the opening edge 2b of the tub portion 2. As shown in FIG. The tip portion 62 of the hook portion 6 is bent toward the bottom wall 21 , and the tip portion 62 is arranged on the side of the bottom wall 21 .

As shown in FIG. 5, the width W1 of the hook portion 6 is set so that the pail 1 can stand on its own with the hook portion 6 facing downward. For example, the width W1 of the hook portion 6 is made equal to or greater than the width W2 of the handle portion 4 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the hook portion 6 has a through hole 63 formed in the tip portion 62 thereof.

Next, how to use the pail 1 will be described. For example, when washing the body in a bathroom, a bather grasps the handle 4 with one hand, scoops up hot water from the bathtub with the bucket 2, and pours it over the body. A bather holds the pail 1 firmly with both hands by holding the handle 4 with one hand and hooking the fingers of the other hand on the hooks 6 provided on the opposite side of the handle 4 and the pail 2.例文帳に追加Therefore, even if the thickness of the handle portion 4 and the thickness of the connecting portion 5 between the handle portion 4 and the bucket portion 2 are thin, the pail 1 is easy to handle. As shown in FIG. 2, the pail 1 is reinforced by the reinforcing portion 7 between the hook portion 6 and the pail portion 2, so that the hook portion 6 is less likely to be deformed or damaged during use.

The pail 1 is provided with a hook portion 6 integrally with the pail portion 2 so as not to protrude inward from the opening edge 2b of the pail portion 2, that is, not to protrude outside the pail portion 2. - 特許庁Therefore, when a bather uses the pail 1, the hook part 6 is less likely to get in the way.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the pail 1 is provided with a stepped portion 25 between the bottom wall 21 and the peripheral wall 23, and the area of the bottom wall 21 is made smaller than when the stepped portion 25 is not provided. ing. Therefore, for example, when the bucket 1 is placed on the installation surface 14 such as the floor of the bathroom or the washbasin while the bucket 2 is filled with hot water, the bucket 1 may tilt toward the stepped portion 25 . However, the pail 1 is provided with the hook portion 6 at a position corresponding to the stepped portion 25 , and the tip portion 62 of the hook portion 6 is positioned on the side of the bottom wall 21 . Therefore, the hook part 6 can contact the installation surface 14 with the tip part 62 on the side of the bottom wall 21 and support the bucket part 2 so that the bucket part 1 does not tilt toward the stepped part 25 . Therefore, the pail 1 can be stably placed on a washbasin or the like with hot water in the pail part 2, and is easy to use. It should be noted that the pail 1 with the stepped portion 25 has a smaller capacity than the pail portion 2 without the stepped portion 25 . Therefore, the pail 1 can reduce the amount of water used.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the used pail 1 can be drained by hanging it on a towel rack 12 fixed to the wall surface 10 of the bathroom.

That is, the pail 1 is suspended from the bar 12a through the hook portion 6 by inserting the bar 12a of the towel rack 12 from the opening of the hook groove 61. As shown in FIG. Since the tip 62 of the hook portion 6 is located on the side of the bottom wall 21 and the hook groove 61 is provided in the vicinity of the bottom wall 21, the bucket 1 is positioned closer to the bottom wall 21 than the center of gravity of the bucket 1 and the bar 12a. supported by Therefore, the pail 1 rotates toward the bottom wall 21 (direction K in the drawing) about the bar 12a with the opening of the pail 2 facing the bathroom (the side opposite to the wall surface 10 of the bathroom). Since the bar 12a is located away from the wall surface 10, the pail 1 contacts the wall surface 10 of the bathroom with the portion P on the side opposite to the hook portion 6 among the connecting portions where the bottom wall 21 and the peripheral wall 23 are connected. rotate until As a result, the pail 1 is suspended from the bar 12a with the bottom wall 21 facing obliquely downward.

In the pail 1, the hook portion 6 and the handle portion 4 provided on the opposite side of the pail portion 2 are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the opening end portion of the pail portion 2 (the outer periphery of the end portion of the peripheral wall 23 opposite to the bottom wall 21). surface) to protrude outward. Therefore, the pail 1 is suspended from the bar 12a with the handle 4 facing downward without the handle 4 contacting the wall surface 10.例文帳に追加At this time, the handle 4 directs the opening of the recess 41 obliquely downward.

When the used pail 1 is hung from the bar 12a, hot water adhering to the inner peripheral surface 2a of the pail portion 2 is directed to a portion 23ay of the peripheral wall 23 corresponding to the handle portion 4, as indicated by an arrow F1 in the figure. It flows downward under its own weight. Since the portion 23ay has the open end side X21 on the side opposite to the bottom wall 21 lower than the closed end side X22 on the bottom wall 21 side, hot water flows into the handle portion 4 as indicated by an arrow F2 in the drawing. flow towards The inner peripheral surface 2a of the tub 2 (the inner peripheral surface 23a of the peripheral wall 23) and the inner peripheral surface 41a of the recess 41 provided in the handle 4 are gently connected via the arc-shaped connecting portion 5. , hot water smoothly flows down from the portion 23 ay to the inner peripheral surface 41 a of the recess 41 via the connecting portion 5 .

The hot water that has flowed into the recess 41 naturally flows down along the inner peripheral surface 41a and is discharged to the outside from the inclined surface 41c, as indicated by an arrow F3. Since the handle 4 is not in contact with the wall surface 10, the hot water falls directly onto the floor of the bathroom from the inclined surface 41c. In addition, since the pail portion 2 and the recessed portion 41 of the pail 1 are open to the bathroom side, highly humid air is less likely to stagnate in the pail portion 2 and the recessed portion 41 . Therefore, the pail 1 is drained in a short time by hooking the hook part 6 on the towel rack, and the multiplication or breeding of mold and bacteria is suppressed.

The used pail 1 can be drained by placing it on its own on an installation surface 14 such as a floor or washbasin with the hook portion 6 facing downward, as shown in FIG. 9, for example.

That is, the pail 1 has a hook portion 6 provided on the opposite side of the handle portion 4 and the pail portion 2 with a predetermined width W1. . Since the hook portion 6 is provided inside the opening edge 2b of the pail portion 2, the pail 1 stands on its own in a posture inclined at a predetermined angle θ1 toward the bottom wall 21 from the position L1 perpendicular to the installation surface 14. do. As a result, the pail 1 always receives a force toward the bottom wall 21 by the handle 4 extending in the opposite direction to the hook 6 when the pail 1 stands on its own. Since the force is supported by the hook part 6 provided on the side opposite to the handle part 4 with the pail part 2 interposed therebetween, the pail 1 does not easily fall down when it stands on its own.

When the pail 1 stands on its own, the portion 23ax of the peripheral wall 23 corresponding to the hook portion 6 is positioned so that the open end side X11 located on the side opposite to the bottom wall 21 is lower than the closed end side X12 located on the bottom wall 21 side. A hook portion 6 is provided for placement. Therefore, hot water adhering to the pail 1 flows from the inner peripheral surface 41a of the recessed portion 41 and the inner peripheral surface 2a of the pail portion 2 to the hook portion 6 of the peripheral wall 23, as indicated by arrows F11, F12, and F13 in the drawing. Then, as indicated by an arrow F14 in the figure, it flows from the closed end side X12 to the open end side X11 and is discharged to the outside. Therefore, the pail 1 can stand on its own with the hook portion 6 facing downward, so that water can be drained in a short period of time, and the growth or breeding of mold and various germs can be suppressed.

Hot water adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the pail 1 also flows down to the hook part 6 side by its own weight. Therefore, there is a risk that hot water will accumulate on the inner peripheral surface of the hook portion 6 forming the hook groove 61 . However, a through hole 63 is formed in the hook portion 6 . Therefore, the hot water that has flowed down to the inner peripheral surface of the hook portion 6 is discharged from the through hole 63 as indicated by the arrow F15 in the figure, thereby suppressing the growth or breeding of mold, various germs, etc. on the inner peripheral surface of the hook portion 6. can.

Further, in the pail 1, the peripheral wall 23 is inclined with respect to the opening edge 2b of the pail portion 2, whereas the hook portion 6 is provided perpendicular to the opening edge 2b of the pail portion 2. . Therefore, when the pail 1 is made to stand on its own with the hook portion 6 facing downward, a portion P2 of the opening edge 2b contacts the installation surface 14, while the bent portion P3 of the hook portion 6 contacts the installation surface 14, A gap S1 is formed between a portion P2 of the opening edge 2b and the bent portion P3 of the hook portion 6. As shown in FIG. As a result, the pail 1 can stand on its own by minimizing the contact area with the installation surface 14, and moreover, the air permeability between the pail 1 and the installation surface 14 can be ensured, so that the hook portion 6 and the like are free from mold. It can suppress the growth or breeding of various bacteria.

Here, the hook portion 6 is provided so that the cross section cut along the width direction is V-shaped or U-shaped. As a result, when the pail 1 is allowed to stand on its own with the hook part 6 facing downward, the contact area between the hook part 6 and the installation surface 14 is reduced, so that the hook part 6 is difficult to grow or grow molds and germs.

It should be noted that the bucket 1 may stand on its own on the washbasin or the like when bathing. In this case, since the handle 4 is directed upward, the space for placing the pail 1 can be reduced. Further, for example, when a small child or an elderly person takes a bath, the pail 1 can be placed on a washbasin or the like so that the handle 4 does not interfere with the bather. This can be expected to prevent accidents such as children and elderly people tripping over the handle 4 and falling, and discomfort such as dropping the pail 1 from the washbasin due to their hand being caught by the handle 4.例文帳に追加Further, even if the bucket 1 is left as it is, the bucket 1 is drained as described above, and the growth or breeding of molds and germs is suppressed, so it is convenient to use.

As described above, the pail 1 of this embodiment can be hooked on the towel rack 12 with the opening of the pail 2 directed toward the bathroom and the bottom wall 21 facing obliquely downward. . Hot water adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the pail 1 flows down from the pail to the handle by its own weight, and is discharged to the outside from the tip of the handle. The bucket is drained. Since the hook portion 6 is provided near the bottom wall of the bucket portion 2, the bucket portion 1 may be provided with the hook portion directly below the handle portion, or the opening of the bucket portion may be provided at a position opposite to the handle portion across the handle portion. Compared to the case where the hook part is provided so as to protrude upward from the end part, when the hook part 6 is hooked on the towel rack, the amount of protrusion of the tub part 2 from the wall surface 10 of the bathroom to the bathroom side can be reduced. Therefore, according to the pail 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to drain the water by hanging it from the towel rack 12 or the like so as not to disturb bathers, cleaners, and the like.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be applied in various ways. For example, the pail 1 may be used in places other than the bathroom, such as a washroom. In this case, the pail 1 may be hung, for example, on a towel rail in the washroom.

For example, the recess 41 may not be provided in the handle 4 . Moreover, the shape of the handle portion 4 is not limited to the illustrated shape, and may be, for example, wavy so that a finger can be easily hooked thereon.

For example, the stepped portion 25 may not be provided in the bucket portion 2 . Also, the shape of the step portion 25 may not be the shape shown in the figure. However, by providing a stepped portion 25 between the bucket portion 2 and the hook portion 6 so that the bar 12a of the towel rack 12 can be easily inserted, when the bucket 1 is hung from the towel rack 12, the bucket portion 2 can reduce the amount of projection from the wall surface 10 of the bathroom.

For example, the pail 1 does not need to stand on its own with the hook portion 6 facing downward. However, by allowing the hook portion 6 to stand on its own, for example, the pail 1 can be placed on a washbasin or the like so that the handle portion 4 does not get in the way when bathing.

For example, the hook portion 6 does not have to be provided in the vertical direction with respect to the opening edge 2b of the tub portion 2. Further, the hook portion 6 may be provided so as not to form a gap S1 between the hook portion 6 and the installation surface 14 when the pail 1 is made to stand on its own.

For example, it is not necessary to form the through hole 63 in the hook portion 6 . The through hole 63 may be configured by a plurality of holes instead of the elongated hole.

For example, the tub portion 2 may have a flat surface between the stepped portion 25 and the opening edge 2b, and the opening edge 2b may be D-shaped.
