BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in the upper structure of a sink having a dining table behind a water tank.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a sink is a utility model Sho 56-2009.
As shown in FIG. 1 of the publication, a water tank portion and a top plate are arranged side by side on an upper part of a cabinet.

Further, in recent years, in order to provide continuity between the kitchen and the dining room, a dining table portion is formed on the sink itself.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an example of the construction of a sink having a dining table section. As shown in the figure, the sink 10 is provided with a water tank portion 14 on a top plate 12 on the front side thereof, and Water taps 16a and 16 are provided in the water tank portions 14a and 14b, respectively.

On the back side of the table, a table 18 is formed continuously with the top plate 12. The table portion 18 is formed by forming a flat table portion on the back side of the water tank portion 14 over the entire area of the sink 10.

According to such a sink 10, it is possible to quickly and smoothly carry the food cooked in the kitchen to the table 18 as it is. Further, after eating, the used tableware and the like can be quickly transported to the water tank portion 14.

[0006]

By the way, according to the conventional sink 10 in which the dining table section 18 is formed, the water tank section 1 is provided.
The height of the top plate 12 and the height dimension of the table portion of the dining table portion 18 on which the plane 4 is formed are formed so that the steps do not become large relative to each other. That is, in order to ensure the convenience of smoothly moving dishes and tableware, the heights of the top plate 12 and the dining table portion 18 are adjusted to be as close as possible.

Therefore, when washing dishes or the like in the water tank portion 14, water droplets may scatter, but in the case of the sink 10 as shown in FIG. 2, the water droplets may scatter to the dining table portion 18 as it is. is there. That is, there is a problem that water droplets easily reach the table portion 18 because the position where the dishes are washed in the water tank portion 14 and the height position of the table portion 18 are close to each other.

Further, when eating at the dining table portion 18, it is desirable that the water tank portion 14 of the kitchen is shielded from the aspect of its appearance, but in the conventional sink 10, the water tank portion 14 and the dining table portion 18 are close to each other. Since the heights are continuous, there is a problem that the entire water tank portion 14 is visible.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. An object of the present invention is to prevent water droplets from splashing to the table portion during washing work in the water tank portion and to make the water tank portion visible from the table portion side. It is to provide a sink with a dining table that can be avoided.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the invention according to claim 1 is premised on a sink in which a table part is continuously formed behind a water tank part, and the continuous part from the water tank part to the table part has a predetermined height. The partition is provided along the rear edge of the water tank portion, while the invention according to claim 2 is based on the invention according to claim 1, and the partition is provided in the left-right direction of the water tank portion. The feature is that the length is set to be almost equal to the width.

In such a technical means, the height of the partition is adjusted to a height sufficient to shield water droplets flying from the water tank portion side during washing with water. As for the material, it is preferable to use stainless steel or the like as in the water tank portion and to integrally mold the water tank portion from the viewpoint of facilitating the manufacture thereof.

Although the above-mentioned partition can be detachably provided, it is more preferable that it is integrally formed with the water tank by using the same member such as stainless steel in consideration of convenience of cleaning.

[0013]

According to the invention of claim 1, since the partition is formed in the continuous portion from the water tank portion to the table portion, the water droplets scattered when washing the dishes such as tableware in the water tank portion are blocked by this partition. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent water droplets from flying to the table side.

On the other hand, according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the partition is set to have a length substantially equal to the width of the water tank in the left-right direction, it is possible to transport food to the dining table or to dispose of used tableware. There is no fear of impeding the convenience of transportation to the water tank.
That is, since no partition is formed in the portion other than the water tank portion, it is possible to move and transport tableware and dishes from that portion on substantially the same plane.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1A and 1B are a plan view and a vertical sectional view of a sink according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively. The same elements as those of the conventional sink shown in FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the partition 20 is erected at a position behind the water tank portion 14. This standing position is set along the rear edge 22 of the water tank portion 14 at the edge position of the tool installation area 24 for placing detergent and the like. The partition 20 has a shape that is curved slightly outward.

With such a structure, as shown in FIG. 1B, a detergent container 26 or the like can be placed in the tool setting area 24 between the water tank portion 14 and the partition 20, and the water tank can also be placed. There is no fear that the partition 20 will be an obstacle when washing dishes or the like in the section 14.

According to the sink having the above structure, when the dishes are washed with water in the water tank portion 14, even if the water droplets fly toward the table portion 18 as shown by the arrow 100 in the figure, the water droplets are blocked by the screen 20. Falls to the water tank portion 14 side of the partition 20. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is possible to comfortably eat a meal or the like even while washing dishes without fear that the washing water will be splashed to the side of the table portion 18.

Furthermore, the partition 20 is, as shown in the drawing, the water tank unit 1.
4 is extended in the width direction and is installed only in the region of the water tank portion 14. Therefore, in the portion where the partitions 20 are not provided, the dining table portion 18 and the portion of the top plate 12 of the sink are substantially flush with each other in this embodiment, and tableware and the like are placed between the top plate 12 and the dining table part 18. It can be transported and moved smoothly.

On the other hand, when eating at the table 18 side, various tools such as the detergent container 26 installed near the water tank 14 by the partition 20 are invisible. In this way, the screen 20 also has the effect of being able to hide the utensils for washing dishes and the like that impair the comfort of the visual aspect during meals.

Further, in this embodiment, the partition 20 has the water tank portion 14
Since it is integrally formed by using stainless steel or the like as in the above part, the whole sink can be easily manufactured and the upper part of the sink can be easily cleaned.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. For example, the partition 20 does not necessarily have to be integrally formed with the water tank portion 14, and may be configured to be attachable to and detachable from a predetermined portion of the top plate 12.

[0024]
