Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to the structure of a sink.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the kitchen sink cabinet itself has not been provided with an appropriate place to place sponges, detergents, etc. For this reason, detergent and the like were placed on the worktop around the edge of the sink, while a commercially available accessory holder equipped with a suction cup was installed inside the sink, and a sponge was placed on top of it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when detergent and the like are placed on the worktop at the peripheral edge of the sink, there is a problem in that the top of the worktop becomes cluttered and the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen is impaired.

There is also the problem that water or detergent adhering to a container of detergent or the like becomes droplets and flows down the container, staining the worktop.

Furthermore, if a commercially available accessory rack with a suction cup is installed in the sink, the effective space in the sink for washing etc. will be reduced, making it difficult to wash large dishes etc. and making it extremely difficult to use. The problem was that it was bad.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a sink in which sponges, detergent, etc. can be placed neatly in the sink without reducing the effective space inside the sink. It is something.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the sink of the present invention is provided with a recess opening inward of the sink in a part of the inner wall of the sink, and a lower end of the opening of the recess. The sink is formed so as to be located above the bottom surface of the sink.

[Function] According to the above means, small items such as sponges and detergents can be placed in the recess provided in the inner wall of the sink. As a result, these small items are less likely to be seen from around the kitchen, and since there is no need to install a small item holder or the like inside the sink, the effective space within the sink can be secured.

Further, according to the above means, water exuding from the sponge, water adhering to the detergent container, and flowing down in the form of droplets, etc., directly flows from the recess into the sink. As a result, the worktop is prevented from becoming contaminated by water or the like.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the sink according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the sink, and FIG. 2 shows a front view thereof.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a sink, which is formed into a container shape by a bottom surface 1b and side walls.

This sink 1 includes, as shown in FIG. 1 or 2,
For example, a concave portion opening toward the inside of the sink 1, that is, a space 10 for storing small items, is formed in the inner wall 1a of the sink 1 on the cooking table portion 2a side provided adjacent to the sink 1. In other words, this accessory storage space 10 is formed so as to protrude from the inner wall 1a of the sink 1 below the cooking table portion 2a of the worktop 2.

The width of the opening of this accessory storage space 10 is not particularly limited, but may be
Although the width is not particularly limited, it is sufficient if the depth is about 10 to 15 cm. This is because it is sufficient to place small items such as sponges in this small item storage space 10, but if the space is too deep, it will be difficult to take out items stored deep inside, making it difficult to use.

In addition, the lower end of the opening of the accessory storage space 10 is connected to the sink 1.
is located above the bottom surface 1b. By providing such a step, it is possible to prevent dirty water from flowing into the small item storage space 10 from the bottom surface of the sink 1 during washing.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, this accessory storage space 1
0, the height of the lower end surface 10a is the accessory storage space 10
It is formed so that it is lower towards the opening than towards the back. A removable draining shelf 15 is mounted on this lower end surface lOa.

By providing such a draining shelf 15, when a sponge is placed on it, the water that seeps out from the sponge can be
Since the water drips down to the bottom of the draining shelf 15, the water drains easily.

In addition, by providing such an inclination, the draining shelf 1
The water dripping from 5 flows into the sink 1 without staying in the accessory storage space 10.

According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

In other words, there are 10 storage spaces for small items such as sponges and detergent.
By placing these small items inside, they are difficult to see from around the kitchen, so the beauty of the kitchen is not compromised.

In addition, since it is not necessary to attach a small item holder in the sink 1 and place small items such as sponges and detergents on it, the effective space originally available in the sink 1 is secured, and the workability of washing dishes etc. is not deteriorated.

Furthermore, since the accessory storage space 10 is provided in the sink 1, water that has oozed out from the sponge or water that has adhered to the detergent container and has fallen down in the form of drops flows directly into the sink 1. The worktop 2 will not get dirty and the beauty of the kitchen will not be spoiled.

In the above embodiment, the small item storage space 10 is provided in a part of the inner wall 1a of the sink 1, but the space 10 is not limited to this, and for example, the space 10 for storing small items is provided in a part of the inner wall 1a of the sink 1 on the cooking table portion 2a side. They may be provided on the inner wall, or may be provided individually on a plurality of inner walls of the sink 1, or may be provided over a plurality of inner walls. By providing the accessory storage space 10 in this way, more accessories can be placed there.

Further, in the above embodiment, the draining shelf 15 is provided, but the draining shelf 15 may not be provided.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the accessory storage space 10
is provided to protrude below the worktop 2 from the inner wall 1a of the sink 1, and its opening faces inward of the sink 1. However, the opening is not limited to this, for example, It may face inside the sink 1 and above the sink 1. In this way, small items can be taken in and out easily.

Furthermore, the opening of the accessory storage space 10 may be closed by a removable lid.

In this way, when water is stored in the sink 1 to wash the dishes, by blocking the lid with this lid, it is possible to prevent the water stored in the sink 1 from flowing into the accessory storage space 10. . Further, the same effect can be obtained even if a side plate and a bottom plate are attached to this lid body to form a drawer housed in the small wheel storage space 10.

Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically explained above based on Examples, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above Examples and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. Nor.

For example, although the above embodiment describes a kitchen sink, it may also be applied to a washbasin sink.

[Effects of the Invention] The effects obtained by typical inventions disclosed in this application are briefly explained below.

That is, a part of the inner wall of the sink is provided with a recess that opens toward the inside of the sink, and the lower end of the opening of the recess is located above the bottom surface of the sink. Small items such as sponges and detergent can be placed in this recess.

Therefore, these small items are difficult to see from the surroundings of the kitchen, so that the beauty of the kitchen is not impaired, and the effective space of the sink is secured, so that the workability of washing dishes etc. is not impaired.

In addition, since the water seeping from the sponge flows directly into the sink, the worktop near the sink will not get dirty and the beauty of the kitchen will not be impaired.
