Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in a drain basket installed in, for example, a dish dryer.

[Prior Art] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a conventional water drainer basket, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the main part of FIG. 6 when a bowl of tableware is propped up. Note that the same reference numerals in the figures indicate the same.

In the figure, the top and front sides are open, the side wall has several holes, and the bottom 2 has a drainage hole 5.The bottom 2 of the basket has a protruding pin shape for hanging dishes. A tableware support portion 4 is arranged.

The washed tableware is propped up one after another using the side wall 3 and the tableware support part 4 of the water basket 1 as points of support. In addition, the bowl-shaped tableware 6 is dried with the inside facing down, or the pin-shaped tableware support part 4 is used to dry it.
As shown in the figure, it is designed to be fitted between the tableware support parts 4 so as to lean against it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, when drying tableware, the most difficult part to dry is the tail portion 7 of bowl-shaped tableware such as rice bowls and soup bowls.

Naturally, when a bowl-shaped tableware is placed face down, even if the tableware support part 4 is used, if the tableware part is placed too much upside down, water will be left in the string tail part 7, and other items may be left unattended. Even when the water drains off and dries, the end portion 7 of the yarn is not dried, which often causes an unpleasant experience.

In addition, the conventional pin-shaped tableware support part 4 will not fit at all if the shape and diameter of the tableware differs, or if the curvature or width of the side surface differs. There were also cases where it got in the way.

In addition, when cleaning the water drainer basket for hygiene reasons, the pin-shaped tableware support portion 4 makes it difficult to clean and tends to leave unwashed items.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a draining basket that can hold bowl-shaped tableware while maintaining an appropriate inclination, and has fewer protrusions that get in the way when cleaning the main body.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the draining basket according to the present invention, in the draining basket in which one or more draining holes and a tableware support part are arranged at the bottom, the draining hole is located at the outer periphery of the bowl-shaped tableware. The tableware supporting portion includes: a protruding portion in which a part of the side edge of the groove protrudes in a direction that closes the groove; The projecting portion is configured by a support portion provided in a concave shape on a part of the side edge of the slot opposite to the protruding part across the slot, and a part of the outer peripheral edge of the bowl-shaped tableware is placed in the slot. When fitting, the protruding portion engages from a part of the outer peripheral edge of the tableware to the inside thereof, and the concave surface of the support portion abuts and supports the outer surface of the tableware. .

[Function] In the present invention, the bowl-shaped tableware is held in a groove that fits into a part of the outer periphery of the tableware, and the edge of the tableware is further engaged with a part of the groove. It is possible to hold tableware while maintaining a certain degree of inclination.

[Example] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a water drainer according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a top view of the main part of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a
The figure is a sectional view along AA', and FIG. 4 is a sectional view along BB'. Note that the same reference numerals in the figures indicate the same.

In the figure, there is a box-shaped drainer main body 11 with an open top and front surface and several holes in the side wall 13, and a bottom 12 of the drainer basket 11 has a bowl-shaped tableware support 14 and a roughly partitioned area separated by it. Rectangular slots 15 are arranged alternately, and the bowl-shaped tableware support section 14 has a protruding section 18 to engage the edge of the bowl-shaped tableware and a support section 19 to hold the side curved surface of the bowl-shaped tableware. .

The inner dimensions of the substantially rectangular slot 15 are 70 mm for inner dimension A and 24 mm for inner dimension B so that soup bowls, rice bowls, tea bowls, etc. used in general households can be fitted and held therein.
The protruding part 18 that engages and holds the edge of the tableware has a convex shape of a disk fragment, and the support part 19 that supports the side curve of the tableware has a different shape and diameter depending on the tableware, The concave shape of the spherical fragment was used so that it could maintain a certain size even if the curvature was different.

FIG. 5 is a side view of the bowl and tableware held in FIG. 3. As shown in the figure, the bowl 16 is held at an appropriate inclination that is slightly inclined toward the end portion 17 from the upright position. In addition, since the support part has a concave shape of a spherical fragment, it is possible to hold bowls and utensils to a certain extent regardless of their size.

In this example, a hemisphere with a maximum radius of 90 mm can be held, but since many actual bowls and tableware are not hemispherical but approximately truncated cones, larger tableware can be held.

It is also possible to use the slots 15, the protrusions 18, and the side walls of the drainer basket as attachment points to lean up dishes one after another.

As mentioned above, in the water drainer according to the present invention,
By placing tableware, especially bowl-like tableware, into the slot 15 at the bottom of the drainer basket, they can be arranged neatly and no space is wasted. Furthermore, when washing the water drainer basket, there are no small protrusions, so it can be easily washed with a sponge, etc., and there is little leftover residue.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, in the water draining basket according to the invention, the bowl-shaped tableware is held in a groove that fits a part of the outer periphery of the tableware, and the rim of the tableware is Since it engages with a portion of the slot, the tableware can be held at a certain degree of inclination. Therefore, by placing tableware, especially bowls, into the grooves at the bottom of the dish drainer, water will no longer accumulate in the string ends, which used to collect and were difficult to dry. There is no waste. Furthermore, when washing the water drainer basket, there are no small protrusions, so it can be easily washed with a sponge, etc., and there are fewer leftovers.
