Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water jump guard for a sink. More particularly, the present invention relates to a water jump guard adaptable to various sinks having different sizes and shapes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of washing tableware and foods with a sink, the washing is often carried out while running tap water directly. According to such a washing method, the tap water hits the bottom of the tableware and the sink and rebounds, so that the clothes are wetted. For this reason, when working in the kitchen, an apron is usually worn.

[0003] In order to prevent the clothes from getting wet without wearing an apron, various water jumping guards have hitherto been proposed.
This water jumping guard is used as a screen by engaging a lower end of a water receiving plate or a shielding plate with a front side wall portion of a sink.

[0004] Incidentally, not only the size of the sink is different from the manufacturer, but also the thickness of the wall to which the splash guard is attached is variously different. For this reason, the thing which can respond to various wall thicknesses is proposed (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-27).
No. 836, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-106150).

[0005] Among the above-mentioned prior arts, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No.
The water splash guard disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 36 is formed by forming a plurality of fold curves on an engagement plate to be engaged with a wall portion and bending along a fold curve matching a wall thickness of a user's sink. However, according to this conventional technique, the rigidity of the bent portion is reduced, and the bent portion is not securely engaged with the sink. Also,
An optimum bending curve for the wall thickness is not always formed.

The water splash guard disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 61-106150 is one in which a horizontal portion of an engaging portion to be engaged with a wall portion is formed by a spring. However, in the method corresponding to the difference in wall thickness by the spring, the engagement is incomplete when the wall thickness is small. Further, even if the wall thickness is appropriate, a force against the spring force is required for each installation. Furthermore, the elasticity is lost by the use over time.

[0007]
