BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sink installed in a cooking area, kitchen, etc.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, in a sink a of a sink, a drain port b is arranged at the center of the bottom surface or near a corner. On the other hand, garbage generated during cooking and cleaning up (food scraps, etc.) can be temporarily disposed of in a nearby location.
A trash can c was placed in the corner of the sink a.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the above-mentioned drain port is located in the center or corner of the bottom of the sink, this drain port is exposed, so when working at the sink, it is difficult to use a small cup or Spoons, containers, etc. can easily fall into this drain, forks and knives can get stuck in this drain, with their toes and blades protruding above the bottom, and parts of breakable items, such as plates, can get caught in the drain and fall over. There were some inconveniences such as cracking. Furthermore, dishes, pots, etc. may cover the drain hole and block it, obstructing drainage. Small debris such as vegetable scraps and rice grains tend to collect around the drain, making the drain unavoidable and the feeling of filth and discomfort unavoidable. Similarly, when a trash can is placed in the corner of the sink, the interior of the trash can is always visible, creating a sense of uncleanness and discomfort.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention prevents small items such as spoons from getting into the drain, and also prevents tableware and containers such as plates, cups, and pots from hanging over the drain. To make it easier to work in a sink and to improve a sense of hygiene by making it easier to work at a sink by making it difficult for workers to see the garbage that tends to collect around the drain and the garbage that is temporarily stored.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems.The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems. A lid body that is provided flush with the counter and covers the garbage container in an openable and closable manner, and at least one of the garbage container is provided with a side surface that is continuous with a side wall surface of the sink. The above problem is solved by providing a sink.

[0006]

[Operation] In the present invention, the garbage container located above the drain becomes an obstacle for containers, small items, tableware, etc. approaching the drain, and prevents them from entering the drain. In addition, the garbage container hides the drain hole, and the lid hides the inside of the garbage container, so that garbage cannot be seen.

[0007]

Embodiments Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. In the present invention, a sink 1 has a sink 2 in the center and counters 4 on both sides. The center of one side wall surface 5 of the sink 2 is recessed laterally, the bottom surface of the sink extends into this recess 6, and the counter 4 is cut out to match the recessed shape of the recess 6. It has an end shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the drain port 3 is located on the bottom surface of the recess 6 so as to be offset from the sink body.

As shown in FIG. 3, above the drain port 3, a garbage container 7 having legs 70 is arranged so as not to obstruct the drainage to the drain port 3, and the drain port 3 is not visible from the outside. It's covered to make sure it's not there. This garbage container 7 has a side surface portion 71 corresponding to the concave shape of the concave portion 6, and
It has side portions 72 that are flush with and continuous with the sink side wall surfaces 5 on both sides of the sink (see FIG. 1). Furthermore, it goes without saying that the drain port 3 may be provided with a perforated plate.

The garbage container 7 is covered in an openable and closable manner by a lid 8 that conforms to the concave shape of the recess 6 and is flush with the counter 4. Usually, the garbage container 7 is covered and hidden by this lid 8. The inside of the room is not shown to avoid creating a feeling of uncleanness or discomfort. Further, since the garbage container 7 is located, small items, tableware, pots, etc. will not come into contact with the garbage container 7 and approach the drain port 3, thereby preventing them from entering the drain port 3 or falling down. Similarly, since the garbage container 7 is located above the drain port 3, the area around the drain port 3 is not visible and does not create a feeling of uncleanness or discomfort.

Garbage can be disposed of easily by removing the lid 8 and placing it in the garbage container 7, and the drainage can be easily carried out at a nearby place (direction A in the figure) and drains along the bottom of the garbage container 7 (direction A in the figure). Water is drained from 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lid body 8 has a step-shaped peripheral edge that follows the concave shape of the concave portion 6 of the counter 4.
The peripheral edge of the recess 6 may also be stepped to match the step so that the receptacle can be placed without dropping, or a receiver 9 may be provided at the upper part of the inner circumferential wall of the recess 6 and the receptacle may be placed on this as shown in FIG. I will make it possible.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the garbage container 7 has a cylindrical shape, for example, and a lid 8 that covers the entire garbage container 7 is provided with a side surface 80 that is flush with the side wall surface 5 of the sink 2. 8 is provided in a substantially L-shape. Of course this lid body 8
There is a gap between the side part 80 of the sink and the bottom of the sink, and water is drained through this gap and under the garbage container 7.

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment, in which the drain port 3 is offset to the corner of the sink 2. A garbage container 7 that matches the shape of the corner where this drain port 3 is located is placed in this corner, and covers the drain port 3 so that it can be drained. The surface of the garbage container 7 on the sink center side is provided as a continuous side surface portion 73 extending over the sink side wall surfaces 5 and 10, and the edge of this side surface portion 73 is approximately close to the sink side wall surfaces 5 and 10. are doing. Further, the lid body 8 matches the shape of the upper part of the garbage container 7.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention,
The sink has a drain port of the sink biased toward the side wall surface of the sink, a garbage container placed above the drain port, a lid body that is provided flush with the sink counter and covers the garbage container in an openable/closable manner, and a lid body that covers the garbage container in an openable and closable manner. At least one side of the container is provided with a side wall that is continuous with the side wall of the sink, so the drain port is hidden by the garbage container, and the inside of this garbage container is hidden by the lid, making it easy to see the garbage while working. It will not stick to the skin and will not cause discomfort or uncleanness. Since the garbage container is located above the drain, small items and tableware moving toward the drain are blocked by the garbage container, preventing them from falling into the drain or blocking the drain, making it easy to use and giving a clean feeling. It has excellent practical effects, such as being able to provide a sink.
