JPH07213444A - Positional dislocation preventing device for draining plate in sink - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely prevent a draining plate from being slipped off in position by providing the draining plate which can be detachably rested on the water tank of a sink, providing magnets for one of portions which abut mutually against the upper peripheral section of the water tank, and also providing a powerful magnetic substance for the other portion. CONSTITUTION:The right and left side walls of a water tank for a sink are formed into an outwardly projected wall each, and a stage section 3 in a shape going roughly along the shape of the water tank 2 is formed at the circumferential periphery of an upper peripheral section for the water tank 2. A draining plate 7 the right and left peripheral sections of which are formed in to a projected and curved periphery each meeting the shape of the stage section 3, are detachably rested on one surface of the water tank 2 for the sink 1 so as to be fitted in the stage section 3. The draining plate 7 is provided with a main body 8 composed of a metallic porous plate, and with a peripheral member 9 made of synthetic resin, which is installed at the peripheral section of the aforesaid main body, and in this case, magnets 10 are embedded at appropriate places fore, aft, right an left with respect to the peripheral member 9 so as to be fixed. By this constitution, the draining plate can thereby be magnetically attached to the stage section 3 of the water tank 2 made of a metallic plate composed of a ferro-magnetic substance, so that the draining plate 7 is thereby made to be hardly moved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for preventing displacement of a draining plate of a sink.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the following devices have been known as this type of positional deviation prevention device. That is, it has a sink and a draining plate detachably mounted on the front and rear upper edges and the left or right upper edge of the water tank of the sink, and the draining plate moves to the center side in the left-right direction of the water tank. In order to prevent it from coming off from the upper edge of the left or right of the aquarium,
It is known that projections are provided at the front and rear upper edges of the water tank so as to abut against the draining plate and prevent its lateral movement. As described above, the reason why the draining plate is moved to the center side in the left-right direction of the water tank so as not to be disengaged from the left or right upper edge of the water tank is as follows. That is, during use of the draining plate, it is easier to do kitchen work if the draining plate does not move carelessly, and the draining plate moves to the center side in the left-right direction of the water tank, and from the left or right upper edge of the water tank. If an unbalanced load is applied to the left edge or the right edge of the draining plate in the disengaged state, the draining plate may tilt as it raises the other side edge, which is dangerous, so from the viewpoint of preventing it, the above It has such a structure.

[0003]

Disadvantages of the Prior Art The above-mentioned conventional displacement prevention device has the following disadvantages. That is, since the protrusions that prevent the drainer plate from moving to the left and right are provided on the front and rear upper edges of the water tank, it is difficult to clean (wiping) the peripheral edge of the protrusion, and the peripheral edge of the protrusion becomes unsanitary. It had the drawback of being easy. In addition, even if the draining plate is placed on the front and rear upper edges of the water tank and on the left or right upper edge of the water tank, If an unbalanced load is applied to the edge portion, the draining plate may be tilted so as to raise the other side edge. In particular, the latter drawback was even greater in the draining plate having the shape described in the examples below.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Disadvantages] The present invention employs the following means in order to eliminate the above disadvantages. The present invention is
It has a sink and a draining plate that is detachably mounted on the front and rear upper edges and the left or right upper edge of the water tank of this sink, and the draining plate and the upper edge of the water tank are in contact with each other. A magnet is provided on one of the contacting portions and a ferromagnetic material is provided on the other.

[0005]

The present invention has the following functions. Since the drainer plate is attracted and fixed to the upper edge of the water tank by the magnet, the drainer plate is less likely to move to the left and right, and the drainer plate is less likely to tilt due to an unbalanced load.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. In this specification, the front means the lower side of FIG. 1, the rear means the upper side of FIG. 1, the left means the left side of FIG. 1, and the right means the right side of FIG.

The left and right side walls of the water tank 2 of the sink 1 are convex curved walls outwardly when viewed from above. On the peripheral edge of the upper edge of the water tank 2, a paragraph 3 having a shape substantially following the shape of the water tank 2 is formed. The top plate 4 and the water tank 2 of the sink 1 are composed of a ferromagnetic metal plate (a metal plate attracted to a magnet).

A drainer plate 7 is removably mounted on the water tank 2 of the sink 1 at the front and rear upper edges and the left upper edge so as to fit into the paragraph 3. The left and right edges of the draining plate 7 are formed as convex curved edges according to the shape of the paragraph 3 so as to be placed on the left and right portions of the paragraph 3.
Since the draining plate 7 has the above-described shape, if an unbalanced load is applied to a portion other than the region L, the draining plate 7
Is prone to tilt by raising the other side edge. The draining plate 7 has a main body 8 made of a porous metal plate, and a non-slip synthetic resin rim member 9 attached to the peripheral portion thereof to increase the friction coefficient. Magnets 10 are embedded and fixed to the front, rear, left and right edges of the edge member 9 such that the lower surface thereof is flush with or substantially flush with the lower surface of the edge member 9.

[0009]

[Modifications, etc.] Modifications will be described below. (1) The magnet 10 may be provided at least at one portion of the edge member 9 that contacts the paragraph 3. (2) The edge material 9 may be mixed with magnet powder to form the entire edge material 9 as a magnet. (3) If the peripheral portion of the water tank 2 is not a ferromagnetic material, the magnet 10
The ferromagnetic material may be attached to the portion in contact with. (4) The magnet 10 is provided on the peripheral portion of the water tank 2, and the magnet 10
A ferromagnetic material may be attached to the portion of the draining plate 7 that abuts against, or the edge member 9 of the draining plate 7 may be made of a ferromagnetic material. (5) The draining plate 7 may have handles at the front and rear.

[0010]

The present invention has the following effects due to the above-described structure. Since the drainer plate is attracted and fixed to the upper edge of the water tank by the magnet, the drainer plate is unlikely to move left and right, and the drainer plate is less likely to tilt due to an unbalanced lateral load.
