Abstract

Disclosed is a dishwasher sponge case that can be used in a wide range of sinks and is not installed in the sink but placed on the side of the sink, and drains moisture from the sponge after use to the sink.
A drainage hole is formed in a contact portion between a side wall surface and a bottom surface of a receptacle of a soap box, a drainage hose is connected to the hole, and a tip of the hose reaches a sink. Turn the lid of the soap box with a drain hole upside down and place it on the top of the soap box, and place the sponge on it. In order to collect moisture from the placed sponge after use in one place, two lower and upper feet are attached to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the receiver so that the bottom surface of the receiver is inclined.

Description

  This device has a drain pipe at the bottom of the side wall of a receptacle such as a soap box (hereinafter abbreviated as soap box), and a sponge is placed on it with the lid with a drain hole turned upside down. It relates to a dishwasher sponge case that can be placed on the side of the sink and drained into the sink.

  Traditionally, dishwashing sponge containers have been made by attaching a container made of plastic such as plastic or polypropylene or stainless steel to the side wall of the sink with a suction cup. Even if water came out from the sponge after use, it fell to the sink from the drain hole at the bottom of the container, and the sponge was drained.

In addition, the following literature can be mentioned as a well-known technique relevant to this device.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-265393

  First of all, if germs are propagated by moisture on the adhering surface of the suction cup, or if the sink is shallow, if the container is kept in the sink with a suction cup, it will always be covered with water and it will be unsanitary and not comfortable to use There is a problem.

  Furthermore, the sink is narrowed by the space of the container for the sponge, and there are times when it is difficult to use, for example, when a large object is washed in the sink. Therefore, instead of attaching the dishwashing sponge case to the sink, it is placed on the side of the sink and an attempt is made to make a sponge case that drains the moisture from the sponge after use to the sink.

  A hole for drainage is made in the part where the side wall and bottom of the soap box receptacle contact, and a pipe for drainage is connected to the hole, and the tip of the pipe reaches the sink. Turn the lid of the soap box with a drain hole upside down and place it on the top of the soap box, and place the sponge on the inverted lid. In order to collect the moisture from the sponge after use in one place, two high and low feet are attached to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the receiver so that the bottom surface of the receiver is inclined.

Since it is not necessary to keep the container in the sink with a suction cup, the adhering surface of the suction cup, which is always covered with water, is hygienic without causing any germs to propagate with moisture, and can be used even when the sink is shallow.
The sponge put on the side of the sink has a drain pipe that leads to the sink, so the water remaining in the sponge after use flows down to the sink, so there is no need to make a space for the sponge in the sink. You can use the sink spaciously.

  A container with a shape and size like a soap box is molded using a synthetic resin such as polypropylene. As shown in FIG. 2, a drainage port (6) is opened at a portion where the side wall surface (2) and bottom surface (3) of the receiver (1) are in contact, and the outside is about 6 mm in diameter, about 1 mm in thickness and about 1 cm in length. Make a projection (4) on the drainage pipe. After molding, a hose (5) made of vinyl or polypropylene of about 10 cm for drainage is inserted and connected to the pipe, and the tip of the hose reaches the sink (13).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom surface (3) of the soap box is inclined so that water dropped from the sponge (7) is collected at the drain outlet (6) of the receptacle so that the protrusion (4) of the drainage pipe is collected. The foot (8) on the opposite side is about 10mm in height, and the foot (9) on the opposite side of the drainage pipe projection (4) is about 15mm in height, two each on the bottom surface of the bottom surface (3) Mold.

However, each of the legs (8) and (9) is not two, but one long leg (10) and (14) as shown in FIG. 3 may be formed one by one.
There are also combinations of two low legs and one high and long leg, or a combination of one low and long leg and two high legs.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a drain hole (12) is opened in the soap box lid (11). The number of drain holes is about 1-8. Turn the lid over and place it in place (1). Then, the sponge (7) is placed on the lid turned upside down.

  As another embodiment, as a method of inclining the bottom surface (3) of the soap box receiver, instead of creating an inclination by the difference in height of the foot attached under the receiver (1), as shown in FIG. There is a method in which the thickness of the bottom surface (3) is thin in the vicinity of the drain port (6), and the thickness is gradually increased to form the side opposite to the drain port (6). At this time, the foot receives the same height and is molded under (1) -B.

  As another embodiment, the outer periphery of the lower surface of the bottom surface of the receiver (1) having an inclination by changing the thickness of the bottom surface as shown in FIG. 5 has a thickness of about 5 mm to 10 mm and the same length as shown in FIG. A sponge can be considered that has a base (1) -C that extends about 1-2 cm and doubles as a foot.

  As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the present invention is placed and drained so that the projection (4) of the drainage pipe is directly at the end of the sink (13) without using the hose (5). There is a way. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the present invention is placed so that the drainage port (6) is directly at the end of the sink (13) without the hose (5) or the projection (4) of the drainage pipe. There is also a way to do it.

Cross section of the receiver   Another embodiment of the present invention. Cross section of the receiver   Another embodiment of the present invention.
