DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a cover 20 according to this embodiment is detachably fitted so as to cover, for example, an upper portion of the container 4 disposed in a water tank 1 of a sink.

The cover 20 is integrally formed of, for example, plastic having excellent heat resistance and slidability. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, an outer shell fitted to the inner peripheral wall of the container 4 is provided. An edge 21 and a covering portion 22 formed inside the outer edge 21 are provided.

The outer rim 21 has a diameter that closely contacts the inner peripheral surface of the container 4.

The covering portion 22 is provided with the outer edge portion 2.
It is composed of a closing part 23 that is inserted into one paragraph from the upper surface of the first part, and one half part thereof is slightly inclined toward the center, and an introduction part D whose other half part is greatly inclined downward. The introduction portion D introduces dirt and water formed between the slope portion 24 curved and formed into a quarter spherical shape and the end portion 23a of the closing portion 23 and the end portion 24a of the slope portion 24. And a dust inlet 25, and the closing portion 2
A shutter 26 is rotatably supported by a third end 23 a via a shaft 27.

The introduction portion D can be constituted by the curved slope portion 24, or can be constituted by a straight slope, and as shown in FIG. The lower end 24a of the slope portion 24 is formed at a position closer to the right side in FIG. 3 than the position of the end 23a of the closing portion 23. Of course, the lower end portion 24a of the slope portion 24 may be extended to a position where the lower end portion 24a reaches the lower surface of the closing portion 23.

The shutter 26 has a fitting portion 28 formed in a semicircular shape that covers the upper opening 24b of the introduction portion D, and a semicircular portion bulging out from the upper portion of the outer peripheral edge of the fitting portion 28 in the outer peripheral direction. And a locking portion 29 having a shape. The shafts 27 and 2 are provided at both ends of the locking portion 29 on the upper opening side.
7, and the shafts 27 are rotatably supported by bearings 30, 30 (see FIG. 6) formed at the end 23a of the closing portion 23.

Therefore, when the dust inlet 25 of the cover 20 is not closed, the shutter 26 is set along the closing portion 23 as shown in FIG. In this case, the dust input port 25 of the cover 20 is set in a direction in which water or dust easily flows into the dust storage basket at the time of washing or cooking. 23 is set so as to be located on the near side of the water tank 1 and the introduction portion D is set so as to be located on the depth side of the water tank 1.

By being set in this manner, the dust stored in the dust storage basket can be concealed by the closing portion 23 so as not to be directly seen.

Also, long objects such as chopsticks and spoons are unlikely to fall into the dust inlet 25 formed in a substantially three-month shape, so that they are unlikely to fall into the dust container.

Next, when the lid 1 is to be removed, the user can easily remove the lid 1 by inserting the finger through the introduction portion D and locking the closure portion 23, and then lifting the finger upward.

On the other hand, when water is stored in the water tank 1, the shutter 26 is lifted up with a finger and pivoted about the shafts 27, 27 in a direction to close the upper opening 24b of the introduction portion D, as shown in FIG. As described above, since the fitting portion 28 is fitted into the upper opening 24b and the locking portion 29 is engaged with the peripheral portion of the upper opening 24b, the dust inlet 25 is completely closed, and water is removed. It can be stored in the water tank 1. Of course,
In the case of draining, a finger is latched on the locking portion 29 and lifted, and this is rotated in the direction of the closing portion 23, so that the dust inlet 25 is opened. it can. In this case, the drainage operation is made easier by rotatably supporting a ring (not shown) for finger hooking in the concave portion 31 (see FIG. 2) formed so as to be bent by the locking portion 29. Can also be performed.

[0023]

[0024]

As described above, the cover for the refuse container according to the present invention does not require a separate closing cover, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. It is easy to use because there is no trouble in the place, it is possible to store water in the water tank just by operating the shutter as needed, and it is possible to reliably introduce garbage into the garbage container, and , Because the inside of the garbage container is not directly visible, it is clean to the appearance, and furthermore, the shape is formed so that it is easy to wash,
It is easy to remove, and since the shutter is formed in a semicircular shape, the shutter does not protrude outward from the outer edge by opening and closing the shutter, so it does not interfere with washing work etc. Is not protruded outward from the outer edge, so that many excellent effects can be obtained, such as there is no fear that the shutter is deformed by the action of an external force or the finger is damaged by the shutter.
