The drain plug 10 is inserted in a drain pipe from the drain opening so as to be vertically movable. Water is drained through the upper catcher 5 in the state that the drain plug 10 is popped up. And hence, small articles are caught by the upper catcher 5 and prevented from flushing out. Hairs or the like are caught by the lower catcher 7 passing through the upper catcher 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drain plug, and more particularly to a pop-up type drain plug.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a simple trapezoidal rubber plug has been generally used as a drain plug provided in a washbasin or the like. A pop-up drain plug that can be easily switched is also used.

The latter pop-up type drain plug is operated by a lever attached from the side to vertically move the drain plug in a drain pipe by using a guide plate vertically provided below the drain plug. A catcher made of a net and attached to the drain plug is attached to the lower end of the guide plate.

In addition to this, for example, actual Kaihei 1-9778
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5 (1993), there is known a plug having a structure in which a net is provided at the bottom of a tray provided below the drain plug.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned pop-up type drain plug, since the catcher for catching hair and the like is attached to the back of the drain pipe, a small object such as a contact lens is attached. In case of accidentally draining it, there is a problem that it cannot be taken out unless the entire drain plug is pulled out.

Further, in the pop-up type drain plug described above, the water is always drained through the catcher, and if hair, foreign matter, or the like accumulates on the catcher, the flow of water will deteriorate, and drainage will be performed efficiently and quickly. The problem of not being forgiven arises.

Further, in the latter stopper described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-97785, since it is necessary to open and close the stopper by hand, the stopper must be inserted into a bowl filled with water. There is a problem that hygiene and physiological dislike is required because the act of taking off is required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems and problems, and the purpose thereof is to solve these problems and to make a catcher with a drain plug popped up. The present invention provides a drain plug that can be drained through, and can be easily taken out without pulling out the drain plug even if small articles are accidentally washed away.

[0009]

In the drainage plug of the present invention, a plug portion composed of a plug and a packing at the upper end, and an upper catcher for catching small items in running water below the plug portion are provided below the plug portion. It is inserted through a supporting shaft with a guide provided toward it, and a lower catcher that captures hairs is further provided below the supporting shaft with a guide, and it can be moved up and down by inserting it into the drain pipe from the drain port. It is a pop-up type drain plug that is configured to be drained through the upper catcher in a state where the drain plug is popped up.

The upper catcher of the drain plug of the present invention has a large drainage hole so that small items such as contact lenses and accessories can be stopped, and the lower catcher has a small drainage hole so that hair can be sufficiently stopped. It is provided.

[0011]

In the drain plug of the present invention, since the drain plug is drained through the upper catcher in a state where it is popped up, even if a small item is accidentally washed away, it is stopped by the upper catcher. It can be taken out easily without pulling out the entire drain plug.
Further, hairs pass through the upper catcher and are stopped by the lower catcher, so that the appearance is sanitary.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an example of the drain plug of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the drain plug of FIG. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a plug 1 is provided at a plug portion of a drain plug 10, a packing 2 is provided on the back side of the plug 1, and a tightening fitting 3 of the packing 2 is provided below the packing 2 for supporting a shaft. 4 is provided by being inserted. The packing 2 is fixed by being tightened from below by a tightening fitting 3.

An upper catcher 5 is provided with a support shaft 4 at a space below the tightening fitting 3 so that a finger can be inserted therein.
Further, below the upper catcher 5, a pipe 61 to which a thin plate-shaped guide 6 is attached is attached to the support shaft 4.
The lower catcher 7 below the support shaft 4.
Is inserted and fixed by being tightened from below the support shaft 4 by a tightening screw 8.

A large number of holes 51 for drainage are provided on the bottom of the saucer-shaped upper catcher 5 for draining water and for preventing small articles from flowing out without passing. There is. Similarly, the bottom surface of the lower catcher 7 is provided with a large number of holes 71 for draining water and for draining the hair sufficiently.

As described above, in the drain plug 10 of the present invention, the upper catcher 5 has a gap below the plug portion composed of the plug 1, the packing 2 and the tightening metal 3, and to the extent that a finger can be inserted. Although the lower catcher 7 is provided at the position where it is provided, and the lower catcher 7 is provided near the lower end, the greatest feature is that the catchers 5 and 7 are provided at the two upper and lower positions, as described in the following embodiment. ,
Even if small items are accidentally washed away, the water will still flow, but the small items stay in the upper catcher 5 without being washed away and can be easily taken out. Target.

3 and 4 are cross-sectional views for explaining an embodiment of the drainage plug of the present invention, FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the drainage pipe is sealed by the drainage plug, and FIG. It shows a mode in which drainage is performed through a catcher.

In FIG. 3, the drain plug 10 is inserted into the drain pipe 9, and the tip portion 20a of the operating lever 20 provided to be operated from the side surface of the drain pipe is pushed downward. Has become. Therefore, the drain port 81 is completely sealed, and the upper wash bowl can be filled with water.

In FIG. 4, when the operating lever 20 is operated, the tightening screw 8 is pressed by the tip portion 20a of the operating lever 20, the drain plug 10 is pushed upward, and the plug 1 is raised above the drain port 81. , The upper catcher 5 is just positioned at the height of the drainage port 81, and drainage is performed through the upper catcher 5. In the drainage in this state, even if a small item flows, the small item caught by the catcher 5 will not be washed away, so put your finger in the gap between the stopper 1 and the upper catcher 5 and take it out easily. You can

As described above, the drain plug 10 of the present invention.
However, since it is used by being attached to a pop-up type drain plug, there is a problem with conventional pop-up type drain plugs, but it is always drained through the upper catcher with a large eye hole, and hair etc. in the lower catcher with a small hole. Since it is captured, the problem of poor water flow is eliminated.

[0020]

In the drain plug of the present invention, the drain plug is drained through the upper catcher in a state where it is popped up, so that even if a small item is accidentally washed away, it is still stopped by the upper catcher. So
It can be taken out easily without pulling out the entire drain plug. Further, hairs pass through the upper catcher and are stopped by the lower catcher, so that the appearance is sanitary. Therefore, it is suitable as a drain plug.
