Description

  The present invention relates to a container holder that serves as both holding of a container containing water and draining.

  We investigated stores, mail order catalogs and the Internet as well as patent literature, but the container with water can be held without touching the outer bottom, and two can be drained without touching the inner bottom or drinking mouth of the container. Container holders that are also used are not found to be the same or similar.

  Although it is impossible to hold and hold water, there is a container holder for the purpose of draining only. There are a type that uses a handle on the hook, a type that uses a dedicated container in addition to a type that holds the support part of the device in contact with the inner bottom or mouth of the container.

  None of the above can hold a container filled with water, and those that are hung on the hook have the center of gravity 20 of the container in the vicinity of the bottom, so the drinking mouth 13 cannot be drained upward and dust may enter. When the support part of the device comes into contact with the inner bottom 12 or the mouthpiece 13 of the container and drains, the contact part is slow to dry, and there is a risk that it becomes unsanitary due to the growth of bacteria or generation of scale. (See FIG. 9 abc)

  What holds the container handle in between has the inconvenience that it is not possible to use other than the dedicated container 10 whose shape of the handle 11 is compatible with the holding part 8. The thing which inserts the locking rod 9 into the hole 7 provided in the handle 11 and drains it is inconvenient except for the dedicated container 10. (See Fig. 9de)

  There is no vanity table 40 that has a function of draining water and holding a container filled with water. Therefore, the container 10 filled with water is placed on the table 43 near the bowl 41, and the bowl 41 The water in the container 10 is discarded because the sewage scattered in the container 10 enters the container 10, or the wet water or dirt on the table 43 adheres to the outer bottom of the container 10, and the dirt becomes dirty when draining upside down. Since it hangs down, waste of water occurs such as washing the container 10. (See Figure 6a)

  I don't see anything with a container holder in the kitchen, so it takes time and effort to add it to the pan and remove it from the cupboard whenever water is needed.

  In order to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to hold a container filled with water without the support part coming into contact with the outer bottom, and draining without the support part coming into contact with the inner bottom or the mouth of the container. It is possible to provide a container holder that can be adapted to many containers of various shapes.

A base body, a hook provided on the surface side of the base body, a handle support portion projecting forward from the base body into a forked shape below the hook, and main body support portions at both ends of the handle support portion. A base, a handle support that protrudes forward from the surface side of the base, a body support at both ends of the handle support, and the base and the body support on one side of the handle support And a hook attached to the hinge, and a stopper portion for receiving the end of the hook provided on the handle support portion on the side facing the hook.
A portion of the hook to be hooked is formed so as to be located above the bifurcated middle of the handle support portion.
The dimension from the hook to the outside of the main body support is longer than the dimension from the hook to the inside of the main body support.
The handle support part, the main body support part, and the hook are provided using the base part of the bathroom vanity or the wall part before the sink of the kitchen as the base.

According to this invention,
(A) By holding the container containing water at a position where the outer bottom does not contact the support part and away from the bowl, the sewage scattered from the bowl does not enter the container, and the container is wet with the outer bottom of the container. It keeps it clean and free from dirt and contributes to saving water.
(B) The support part does not come into contact with the inner bottom or the mouth of the container and drains it, thereby preventing the generation of scale and the growth of bacteria and keeping it clean.
(C) By making the hook movable, the hook can be detached from the holder only by moving the container upward, improving usability.
(D) It can be used for container transportation and container display, and is also provided in the kitchen.
(E) A bathroom vanity provided with the holder without deteriorating the aesthetic appearance.
(F) Adaptable to many containers with various shapes.

It is the front view which shows the perspective view and structure which show a use condition. It is the side view and top view which show the effect | action and the positional relationship of each site | part. It is the perspective view which made the hook movable, and the schematic diagram explaining the usage method. It is a perspective view which hold | maintains a some container to a plate-shaped base | substrate. It is the side view and top view which hold | maintain a some container to a columnar base | substrate. It is a perspective view of the bathroom vanity provided with the container holder of the present invention. It is the perspective view of the Example formed with the metal wire, the side view, the front view, and the top view. It is a side view which shows the suitability of a container. It is a schematic diagram which shows the use condition of the conventional container holder.

  This will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 (a) shows a state in which the container 10 is drained and held, with the drinking mouth 13 of the container 10 facing downward, the handle inner lower end portion 11b being hung on the hook 4, and the handle 11 having two forks. If it arrange | positions inside the handle support part 2, the container main body 10a will contact the main body support part 3, will be supported by 3 points | pieces, and the container 10 will be stably hold | maintained in the state of draining.

  FIG.1 (b) shows the state holding the container 10 which put the water 15, and is a perspective view from the opposite side of Fig.1 (a). When a space near the lower end 11b of the handle is inserted into the hook 4 with the drinking mouth 13 of the container 10 facing up, the handle 11 is placed above the two handle support portions 2 and the container 10 is lowered downward. Is in a bifurcated shape and enters between the two handle support portions 2, and the container body 10 a comes into contact with the body support portion 3 to provide three-point support, and the container 10 is stably held in a state where water 15 is put therein.

1 and 2, the hook 4 provided on the surface of the plate-like substrate 1 protrudes forward, bends sideways, and is broken by the broken line shown in FIG. The inside of the circle is formed to be above the middle of the two handle support portions 2.
A pair of handle support portions 2 are formed below the hook 4 in a forked manner from the base body 1, and a body support portion 3 is formed at both ends of the handle support portion 2. Molded integrally with resin. It is attached to the wall surface by holes 32 provided above and below the base 1. The wall mounting means may be a known method such as a suction cup, a nail, a screw, an adhesive, or a hook.

  FIG. 2A shows the operation of the present invention. A tensile load 21 is applied from the center of gravity 20 of the container 10 to the hook 4, a pressing load 22 is applied to the two main body support portions 3, and the container 10 is loaded. The two handle support parts 2 hold the handle 11 from both sides to prevent the container from rolling.

FIG. 2 (b) shows the positional relationship of each part. Since the hook 4 serves as a base point, the hook 4 may be made of a plastic material so that the position can be adjusted.
The shorter the distance 4c between the base body 1 and the hook 4, the lighter the load applied to the base body 1, and the shorter the distance 4c, the better.
The distance 4d between the hook 4 and the upper end of the handle support portion 2 is such that the longer the container 10 can be held, the more the handle 11 passes loosely and the handle 11 does not come off the handle support portion 2.
The horizontal dimension 4e from the hook 4 to the main body support part 3 is such that the container 10 filled with water is substantially vertical because the container 10 tilts back and forth due to its length. It may tilt when drained.
The second aspect applies the above dimensions except for the distance 4d from the hook 4 to the upper end of the handle support portion 2.

  Most of the containers 10 called commercially available mugs are suitable for a distance 4c between the base 1 and the hook 4 of 10 mm to 20 mm, and a distance 4d between the hook 4 and the upper end of the handle support 2 is 15 mm to 25 mm. The horizontal dimension 4e from the hook 4 to the main body support 3 may be set to 15 mm to 35 mm.

  FIG. 2C shows that the size of the dimension 3d from the hook 4 to the outside of the body support 3 is longer than the dimension 3c from the hook 4 to the inside of the body support 3, so that the container 10 supports both bodies by its own weight. Enter the center of the section 3 to suppress lateral movement of the container 10.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of claim 2.
A pair of handle support portions 2 protruding in a forked manner from the surface of the base body 1 and a main body support portion 3 are formed at both ends of the handle support portion 2, and the base body 1, the main body support portion 3, A hook 4 is attached to a hinge 5 provided on an upper portion of one handle support portion 2 that is substantially in the middle.
A stopper portion 6 for receiving the hook end portion 4b is provided on one handle support portion 2 on the other hand.
In addition, in order to urge the hook 4 toward the stopper portion 6, the spring-loaded hinge 5 or the hinge 5 and the hook 4 may be integrally molded with resin to use the elasticity of the resin.
Alternatively, the hook end 4b may be made heavier and lowered to the stopper portion 6 by its own weight.

(B), (c), (d), and (e) of FIG. 3 are schematic diagrams for explaining the usage and operation of claim 2.
In order to hang the container 10, the hook 4 is pushed up by the handle outer upper end portion 11c passed from below between the two handle support portions 2 in (b), and the hook 4 enters the handle 11 inside in (c). The portion 4b is locked to the stopper portion 6 and the container 10 is held.
When the container 10 is lifted upward in (d) in order to remove the container 10, the hook 4 is pushed up by the handle inner lower end 11b, and in (e), the hook 4 is detached from the handle 11 and the container 10 is removed.
The above is an example of the container 10 containing the water 15, and the procedure is the same just by turning the container 10 upside down when draining water. As described above, there is a feature that the container 10 can be detached by simply moving it upward.

FIG. 4A shows a case where a plurality of hooks 4 are attached to a plate-like base 1, and the same number of sets of forked handle support portions 2 corresponding to the hooks 4 are formed below the hooks 4, and FIG. It is a type.
In order to prevent interference with the adjacent container 10, the mounting position may have a height difference for each set.
