Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a draining plate mounted so as to be slidable at the mouth of a water tank recessed from the work surface of a worktop. The present invention relates to a drainage plate for a sink, which is effectively used as a sink for cleaning dishes, disposing garbage, and various other tasks.

[0002]

Drainage boards are often used in sinks provided in kitchens of ordinary households. The draining plate is attached so that it can be attached and detached and slid on the guide step of the mouth of the water tank that is recessed from the work surface of the worktop.If necessary, attach it and move it to the required position to put the washing and drain it. I will go.

Although this draining plate is convenient, when it is installed, it narrows the working area in the water tank. However, it is convenient to always attach the draining board because the draining board is frequently performed and a cutting board is often placed on the draining board for cooking.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a water draining plate a of a normal size is divided into two unit water draining plates a1 and a2, and when these are not needed, they are provided in FIG. As shown in (b), the width can be narrowed by stacking two sheets, and if necessary, the two sheets can be used in a wide state side by side.

[0005]

However, since the two unit draining plates are individual, and each of them is handled individually, the number of points to be handled becomes plural, and two sheets are stacked or two sheets are arranged side by side. The work becomes complicated to attach or detach. Also, when moving two unit drainers in a state of being aligned, two cannot be moved at the same time even if they are pulled, and both unit drain plates are separated. There is a restriction that it cannot be moved, and it is inconvenient for moving work.

In order to deal with this, it is conceivable to connect the unit draining plates by hinges so that they can be folded. However, if such a connection is made, there is a problem that the detail part due to the connection becomes dirty and it is difficult to keep it clean, and in order to wash these, it is large when it is connected and one unit drainer plate is used. Since the other unit draining plate moves even if the user holds the unit, it becomes rather difficult to work.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and the unit draining plate can be conveniently handled by simply connecting or disconnecting the unit draining plate, and a detail portion which is easily soiled is not formed. The purpose is to provide a drainboard for a sink.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a drain board for a sink according to the present invention is mounted so that it can be slid at the mouth of a water tank recessed from the work surface of a worktop. A magnetic adsorbing member that is a plate, and is provided with a plurality of unit draining plates that are used in combination so that they can be used in a stacked state and in a lined state, and that are attracted to each other by a magnetic force at the opposing edges at the seams of these unit draining plates With
The main feature is that the unit draining plates which are adjacent to each other are adsorbed to each other and are folded so as to be overlapped or connected so that they can be opened in a state of being arranged side by side.

It is preferable that the unit draining plate has a notch that forms a drainage gap between both ends of the joint.

An appropriate number of unit draining plates can be connected, but usually two.

[0011]

In the above-mentioned structure which is the main feature of the present invention, when a plurality of unit draining plates used in a stacked state and in a lined state are brought close to each other, the adsorbing members provided at the opposing edges of them A plurality of unit drainage plates are connected between the opposing edges in an attempt to be attracted by magnetic force. As described above, the plurality of unit drainage plates connected to each other can be easily handled and used as an integrated body, and can be stored or taken out.

In particular, the unit draining plates can be moved integrally by pulling or pushing a part of the unit draining plates in an open state, and the moving method is not limited, which is convenient. Since the hinge connection state in which the part connected by the suction member is the center of rotation is obtained, the unit drainer plate is not moved even when the unit drainer plate is folded or opened due to the pivoting motion with the connecting portion as a fulcrum. Since it can be easily and surely performed without coming off easily, it is convenient for variously changing the usage mode of the plurality of unit drainers.
Moreover, since the connection of the plurality of unit draining plates is due to the adsorption of the adsorbing member, each unit draining plate can be handled independently by overcoming the suction force of the adsorbing member and separating them, so that the number of used sheets can be changed. And each wash is easily accomplished without the effects of coupling. In addition, in the connection by the suction member as described above, the connection part between the unit drainage plates remains smooth and no detail part is generated, so it is difficult to stain and easy to wash, so it is easy to keep clean for a long time without the influence of connection. .

In a structure in which a notch for forming a drainage gap is formed between both ends of the seams of the unit drainage plates,
When the draining plate is placed on the guide steps of the front and rear edges of the mouth of the water tank so that it can be slid, the large water drainage passage that extends to the water tank side from the guide steps is cut off. Even if there is a case where a large amount of water is made to flow on the drain board at once by making a notch, it can be returned to the inside of the water tank through this drainage passage, so a large amount of water is washed away at once and overflows outside the tank It is possible to avoid such inconvenience.
Moreover, the drainage passage at such a position does not hinder various works on each unit drainage plate, and the notch for this makes it possible to make each unit drainage plate a particularly complicated shape and a detail portion that easily gets dirty. It is achieved advantageously without any inconvenience.

Although it is possible to connect an appropriate number of unit drainage plates, it is convenient to use two units in combination as usual unless a wide drainage surface is required.

Due to the difference, the slide lids 31 and 32 can be independently opened and closed without interfering with each other.

Further, as shown by solid lines in FIGS. 3 to 5 and by phantom lines in FIGS. 6 and 7, on the concave surface 11 and the water tank 5.
The guide stepped portion 81 for guiding the draining plate 182 so that the draining plate 182 can slide between the upper and lower parts of the work surface 2a is provided with the concave surface 11
1 and 2, the drainer plate 182 is provided along the front part and the rear part of the opening 2b in which the water tank 5 is recessed, and the drainer plate 182 has a size and shape substantially covering the recessed surface 11.
As shown in, the two are combined. However, an appropriate number of sheets can be used in combination if necessary. However, as long as a wide drainage surface is not particularly required, it is easy to handle in use by combining two as usual.

The plurality of unit draining plates 82 are used in combination so that they can be used in a stacked state as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 2 and in a lined state as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A magnetic attracting member that attracts each other by magnetic force at each opposing edge at the seam 84 of the draining plate 82, in this embodiment, a magnetic body 91 is provided on one side, and a magnet 92 is provided on the other side. The draining plates 182 as a whole are configured by connecting them so that they can be folded in a stacked state or opened in a state where two sheets are arranged side by side. As the attraction member for performing such attraction, magnets provided so that different poles face each other on both facing edges of each unit draining plate 82 may be used.

It is preferable that the adsorbing member is built in each unit draining plate 82, but it is not limited to this.

Such a draining plate 182 faces a plurality of unit draining plates 82 used in a stacked state and in a lined state when the seams 84 are brought close to each other as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The magnetic bodies 91 and the magnets 92 provided at the edges try to attract each other by magnetic force, and connect the plurality of unit drainage plates 82 between the opposite edges. As described above, the plurality of unit draining plates 82 connected to each other can be easily handled and used as the draining plate 182 integrated with each other, and can be stored or taken out.

In particular, the unit draining plate 82 can be moved integrally by pulling or pushing a part of the unit draining plate 82 on the guide stepped portion 81 in a state where they are arranged side by side, and the moving method is not limited and convenient. . Further, since a hinge connection state in which a portion where the unit draining plates 82 are connected by the magnetic body 91 and the magnet 92 is the center of rotation is obtained, the connecting portion is also used for folding and opening the unit draining plates 82. Since the unit draining plate 82 can be easily and reliably performed by the pivotal movement whose posture changes as shown by the solid line, the broken line, and the imaginary line in FIG. It is convenient to change the usage mode of the draining plate 82 in various ways.

Moreover, since the plurality of unit draining plates 82 are connected by the attraction of the magnetic body 91 and the magnet 92, the unit draining plates 82 are separated from each other by overcoming the attraction force of the magnetic body 91 and the magnet 92. Since each can be handled independently, the change in the number of sheets used and each cleaning can be easily achieved without the influence of connection.

Further, in the connection by the magnetic body 91 and the magnet 92 as described above, the connecting portion between the unit draining plates 82 may be a smooth surface as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and no detail portion is generated. Since it is difficult to get dirty and easy to wash, it is easy to keep clean for a long time without being affected by the connection.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the unit draining plate 82 has a notch 82a which forms a draining gap between both ends of the seam 84. Therefore,
In a use state in which the draining plate 182 is placed on the guide step portions 81 at the front edge and the rear edge of the opening 5a of the water tank 5 and guided so as to be slidable, as shown in FIG.
Even if a large amount of water is made to flow on the draining plate 182 at once by forming the large draining passage 101 protruding toward the water tank 5 side by the notch 82a, the inside of the water tank 5 is passed through the draining passage 101. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that a large amount of water is swept all at once and overflows out of the water tank. Moreover, the drainage passage 1 at such a position
01 does not hinder various work on each unit drainage plate 82, and the notch for this is advantageous without inconvenience that each unit drainage plate 82 has a particularly complicated shape or a detail portion easily soiled is formed. To be achieved.

Hereinafter, a specific usage state of the sink 1 shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 will be described.

The concave surface 11 of the working surface 2a and the water tank 5
The size and shape of the draining plate 182, which is slidable between the recessed surface 11 and the water tank 5 by the guide step 81 along the recessed opening 2b, substantially covers the recessed surface 11. When two unit draining plates 82 each having the structure are combined, the unit draining plates 82 can be used in the folded state and the open state.
By moving to the position to cover
The space for the concave surface 11 having the raw garbage storage opening 12 and the dry waste storage opening 13 can be used as a part of the work surface 2a of the work top 2 and does not project to the water tank 5 side. It is possible to keep the work area at the Narrow at all. Therefore, it can be used in the same manner as a sink without the raw garbage storage port 12, the dry garbage storage port 13, and the draining plate 182.

When it is desired to put raw garbage or dry refuse into the raw garbage storage opening 12 and the dry waste storage opening 13, the draining plate 182 is simply moved to the side of the water tank 5 as shown in FIG. Since the raw garbage storage port 12 and the dry garbage storage port 13 in this are exposed as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, raw garbage and dry garbage can be immediately put into this and processed.

Moreover, in this case, the cutting board 83 is placed as shown in FIG. 4 so as to straddle between the draining plate 182 retracted to the water tank 5 side and the work surface 2a of the work top 2 so that It is convenient to carry out the work on the cutting board 83 while directly throwing the garbage generated on the cutting board 83 into the raw garbage storage port 12 directly from the cutting board 83 each time or whenever necessary. Also, dry garbage storage port 1
3 is located on the front side of the sink 1, and the garbage generated while working the installation part of the sink on the cutting board 83
In the case of putting the cutting board 83 directly into the container 2, there is an advantage that a space for placing the cutting board 83 can be provided in front of the garbage storage opening 12 to facilitate the work.

When draining the water with the water draining plate 182 while washing in the water tank 5, the one water draining plate 82 is opened on the guide step portion 81 in which two unit water draining plates 82 are arranged side by side.
As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 3, if it is moved to the side of the recessed surface 11 as much as possible, the space of the recessed surface 11 is used to open the water tank 5 to the maximum extent so that the above-mentioned work can be performed. The draining plate 182 in a state where two unit draining plates 82 are lined up on the stepped portion 81 is the work top 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG.
Since it is designed to be lower than the work surface 2a of the work top 2a, there is no inconvenience that water on the water draining plate 182 flows out onto the work surface 2a of the work top 2 when draining water, and the garbage storage port 12 and the drying section Recessed surface 1 having a garbage storage opening 13
Even if the draining board 182 is covered with 1, this draining board 18
There is no problem in draining water on the concave surface 11 because it serves to flow the water falling from 2 to the side of the aquarium.

In the case of this embodiment, the two unit draining plates 82 stacked on the guide step 81 are shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the phantom lines in FIGS. 6 and 7. The work surface 2a is flush with the work surface 2a. Therefore, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the unit draining plates 82 are overlapped with each other to cover the concave surface 11 to form the work surface 2a of the work top 2, the solid line in FIG. 5 and the imaginary line in FIGS. Even when the cutting board 83 is moved from the concave surface 11 to the water tank 5 side and the cutting board 83 is placed on the worktop 2 and the draining board 182 as shown in FIG. Since the step cannot be formed by one, there is no chance that an object is caught on the step, and the cutting board 83 to be placed is inclined and the work surface 2a of the work top 2 and the drain board 82
I've never said that it touches each other only linearly.
A stable mounting state in which both of them are in surface contact can be obtained, and the work can be facilitated. The conditions for the thickness of the unit drainage plate 82 do not require that both thicknesses are the same. Various combinations can be set as necessary.

Further, the unit draining plate 8 is provided on the guide step portion 81.
A stopper for positioning the draining plate 182 in which two two are lined up at the position indicated by the solid line in FIGS. 3 and 6 in which the draining plate 182 retracts from above the recessed surface 11 toward the water tank 5 and exposes almost the entire recessed surface 11. 90 is provided.

Therefore, the usage pattern shown by the phantom line in FIG. 3 in which the draining plate 182 is positioned so as to cover the concave surface 11 and the usage pattern shown by the solid line in FIG.
The step portion 93 on the concave surface 11 side formed between the guide step portion 81 and the work surface 2a of the work top 2 and the stopper 9
Since it can be obtained by a simple judgment and work such that the draining plate 182 is moved until the draining plate 182 abuts, it is possible to instantly switch the usage mode without difficulty.
