Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a kitchen sink is covered with a counter, and a draining portion inclined to the sink side is formed in a portion adjacent to the sink so that a dish washed by the sink can be placed on the sink to drain water. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, there is also a type in which a small sink or a draining basket b is slidably provided at the upper end of the sink a, and the counter c does not have a draining portion.

[0003]

In the case of a sink of the type having a water drainage part on the counter, the entire sink can be widely used for cleaning, but normally a drain port is provided in the center of the bottom part, Small items may fall into the drain. For this reason, a disk-shaped rubber plate with radial cuts is fitted on the top of the drainage port to prevent falling objects, but relatively heavy and small objects such as spoons fall from between the cuts. End up. Further, since the drainage port of the sink can be seen from the outside after cleaning, if the rubber plate is dirty, it gives an unclean feeling and is unsightly. In the case of a small-sized slideable sink or a type of sink provided with a drainage basket b, not only does the sink become so narrow that it becomes difficult to perform cleaning work, but it also becomes an obstacle after cleaning and if removed, I have to store it somewhere.

The present invention was made in order to solve all the problems of the conventional sinks, and is always hidden under the counter and is for kitchen use with a multi-purpose storage pocket that can be pulled out to the sink side when necessary. The challenge is to provide a sink.

[0005]

As a means for technically solving the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a counter is projected at a part of an open end of a sink, and a multipurpose storage pocket is put in and out under the projecting portion. The idea is to set it freely. As another means, a counter is bulged out at a part of the open end of the sink, and a multipurpose storage pocket is provided under the bulged portion so that it can be put in and out freely, and the drain outlet of the sink is located below the multipurpose storage pocket. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

[Operation] The multi-purpose storage pocket can be freely put in and taken out like a drawer, so you can store it under the counter after washing without disturbing it, without constantly narrowing the inside of the sink.
There is no need to remove it and store it in another place. This multipurpose storage pocket can be used for draining water, storing small items, and the like. The drain of the sink is located at the end of the bottom,
Moreover, since there is a multi-purpose storage pocket directly above it, it is possible to prevent small items from falling into the drain port during cleaning, and after cleaning, it is hidden in the multi-purpose storage pocket and the drain port cannot be seen from the outside, giving a filthy feeling. Absent.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a kitchen cabinet 2
The sink 3 has a counter 3 overhanging a part of its open end, and the drain 3a is formed below the overhanging part 3a.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a multipurpose storage pocket, which is provided at the bottom of the overhanging portion 3a of the counter 3 so that it can be freely inserted and withdrawn. That is, engaging pieces 4a are provided on both sides of the upper open end of the multipurpose storage pocket 4, and the engaging pieces 4a are slidable along a pair of step portions 1b provided on the upper side wall of the sink 1. It is supported.

As shown in FIG. 3, the multipurpose storage pocket 4 is provided with a draining function by netting three other side surfaces and a bottom surface other than the inner side surface 4b or forming a number of draining holes 4c, and A handle 4d is attached to the upper portion of the inner side surface 4b.

The kitchen sink according to the present invention is constructed as described above, and when the multipurpose storage pocket 4 is stored, it is hidden by the overhanging portion 3a of the counter 3 as shown in FIG. Sink 1 when cleaning
The inside can be widely used and cleaning work becomes easier. Further, since the drainage port 1a of the sink 1 is located at the end of the bottom as described above, and the multipurpose storage pocket 4 is immediately above it, small articles do not fall into the drainage port 1a during cleaning. However,
The washing water is smoothly drained through the narrow gap between the multipurpose storage pocket 4 and the drain port 1a.

To pull out the multipurpose storage pocket 4, the multipurpose storage pocket 4 can be easily pulled out as shown in FIG. 3 by holding the handle 4d and pulling it in the direction of the arrow (left direction) in FIG.

Since the multipurpose storage pocket 4 has a draining function as described above, it can be temporarily drained after being washed. Small items such as chopsticks, spoons, and forks can be stored in the multipurpose storage pocket 4 as they are.

As another usage of the multipurpose storage pocket 4, it can also be used as a storage portion for cleaning tools such as sponge, scrubbing brush, and detergent, and is divided into a small storage portion and a cleaning storage portion which are commonly used. It is also possible to do so. Further, it can also be used as a raw garbage storage unit for storing cooking waste and the like. In any case, if the multipurpose storage pocket 4 is pushed in again after the item is put in, it is stored below the overhanging portion 3a of the counter 3, so that the placed item cannot be seen from the outside and is very good in appearance.

In this way, storing the multipurpose storage pocket 4 after cleaning does not become an obstacle and the drainage port 1a of the sink 1 is hidden by the multipurpose storage pocket 4 and cannot be seen from the outside. The rubber plate eliminates the feeling of filth.

Since the multipurpose storage pocket 4 can be removed from the step portion 1b of the sink 1 by pulling it out and lifting it, the multipurpose storage pocket 4 itself can be easily washed, which is convenient. Further, it is needless to say that the multipurpose storage pocket 4 may be provided on either side of the sink 1.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A counter is bulged out at a part of the open end of the sink, and a multipurpose storage pocket is provided under this bulged portion so that it can be put in and out freely. Moreover, since it is not necessary to remove and store it in another place, the convenience of use is remarkably improved, and the multipurpose storage pocket is very convenient because it can be used as a drainer, small items storage, and garbage storage. In addition, the sink drainage port is located below the multipurpose storage pocket to prevent small items from falling into the drainage port during cleaning.
Moreover, after washing, the drainage port is hidden from the multi-purpose storage pocket so that the drainage port cannot be seen from the outside.
