【Example】

 Examples will be described below. 1 to 3 show a kitchen knife insert for a sink pocket according to an embodiment, which is provided in a sink of the type shown in FIG. 4 and attached to a pocket having a drainage function. That is, this sink is provided with a small recess P called a pocket on the back side of the recess W for washing water, and a sponge or detergent bottle S or the like is inserted therein so that it can be put in a ready-to-use state. Is. The pocket P is provided by fitting the unit shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 into a substantially oval opening (not shown) formed on the upper surface of the sink. In these figures, 1 is a pocket bottom wall, 2 is a pocket inner wall that integrally stands up from the pocket bottom wall 1, 3 is a flange formed by folding the upper edge of the pocket inner wall outward, and 4 is a pocket. The drain port 4 is an opening that opens at approximately the center of the bottom wall 1. The drain port 4 is connected to a drain hose (not shown) to which the recess W for washing with water is connected. It has a function and can drain the water dripping from the sponge S to the drain hose independently. In addition, 5 and 5 are ribs which are convexly formed upward in the pocket bottom wall 1.

Returning to FIGS. 1 to 3, the knife insertion of the embodiment will be described. This knife knife is made of resin, for example. In these figures, 10 is a tubular main body that rises at the height of the cutting edge n of the kitchen knife N. The tubular main body 10 is hollow and is open downward. On the outer wall of the tubular main body 10 at a midway in the vertical direction, a locking portion 11 that is hooked on the upper edge of the pocket P is formed to project. The outer wall of the tubular main body 10 below the locking portion 11 is formed in a shape corresponding to the inner wall 2 of the pocket P. Further, a lid 12 having a slit 12a into which the cutting edge n of the knife N is inserted is integrally formed on the upper portion of the cylindrical body 10. In this case, the lid 12 may be provided separately and fixed to the tubular body 10. Although two slits 12a are provided in the figure, the number is arbitrary.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a cage integrally provided on the side of the lower end of the cylindrical body 10 and formed in a shape substantially corresponding to the bottom wall 1 of the pocket P, and the peripheral edge is bent downward. ing. In addition, a large number of holes 21 for draining water are formed in the cage 20. The bottom surface shape (corresponding to the outer shape shown in FIG. 1) formed by the cylindrical main body 10 and the cage 20 is formed so as to substantially match the planar shape of the pocket inner wall 2. Here, whether or not the cage 20 is fixed to the tubular body 10 is arbitrary. Further, even when the cage 20 is fixed, it is not limited to the side of the lower end of the tubular body 10 but may be fixed below the locking portion 11.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, the attachment is completed by inserting the kitchen knife insert into the pocket P of the sink. In that case, the locking portion 11 of the tubular body 10 hangs on the flange 3 at the upper edge of the pocket, and the outer wall of the tubular body below the locking portion is supported by the pocket inner wall 2, and the tubular body 10 and Since the bowl 20 is fitted over almost the entire circumference of the inner wall of the pocket, the knife insert is stably fixed. Then, when the blade tip n of the knife N is inserted into the slit 12a, the wet knife N is drained, and the water dripping from the blade tip n falls below the tubular body 10 because it is the bottom wall 1 of the pocket P. The water is drained from the drain port 4 to the drain hose by the drainage function of the pocket P 1.

Further, since the baby cage 20 is arranged on the bottom wall 1 of the pocket P, if the sponge S or the like is placed on the baby cage 20, the original function of the pocket is exhibited. That is, when the sponge S or the like S is put in a state where it can be used immediately, these drainers are drained and the water can be drained from the drain port 4 to the drain hose.

FIG. 7 shows a modification, which is different from the previous embodiment only in that the orientation of the slit 12'a is different by approximately 90 degrees in a plan view, and the other configurations are the same. The orientation of this slit is arbitrary and may be an angular position other than these two examples.

Further, the locking portion may be formed so as to project in a series on the outer wall of the cylindrical main body as in the embodiment, but may be provided at discrete points in the circumferential direction in a scattered manner. Further, in the embodiment, the outer wall of the tubular main body below the locking portion is formed almost entirely in the shape corresponding to the pocket, but if at least a part is formed in such a shape, stability is improved. Sufficient functions can be obtained for securing.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the drain port is opened in the bottom wall of the pocket and is connected to the drainage hose so that the drainage function can be exerted. A notch is provided at the upper edge of the pocket without opening, and a water guiding groove is drawn from this notch to a recess for washing with water, and water is drained through this water guiding groove. Since it is one, the knife knife of the present invention can be used. Moreover, the kitchen knife insert of the present invention may be used for pockets that do not have a drainage function. For example, it is a pocket unit in which a hole such as a drain port is not opened in the bottom wall, and the above-mentioned pocket unit is detachably fitted into the opening of the upper surface of the sink. In this case, drainage can be done by removing the pocket from the sink opening and turning it upside down, so that a wet kitchen knife can be drained and this water can be drained.

[0024]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to claim 1, as a kitchen knife insert using a sink having a pocket having a drainage function, the kitchen knife is highly stable, and wet knives can be drained properly to appropriately treat dripping water. We were able to propose a kitchen knife insert that could be easily installed by simply inserting it into an existing sink. In that case, the drainage method can be exemplified in claims 4 and 5.

According to the second aspect, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, a sponge or the like can be further placed on the cage.

According to claim 3, in addition to the effect of claim 2, it is possible to further stably fix the knife insert.
