Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a sanitary storage rack which can prevent water from pooling on a shelf part projected from the wall surface of the storage rack, by making at least the outer surface layer of the shelf from water-absorptive resin. CONSTITUTION: A storage rack body 1 and shelf parts 2 made of plastic materials such as FRP are integrally incorporated with each other, and the upper surface of each of the shelf parts is slightly sloped in the inward direction thereof, that is, toward the wall surface of the storage rack body 1. The inward portion of each of the shelf parts 2 is covered thereover with a molded sheet, being substantially flush with the outer surface of the shelf part 2, or the water- absorptive layer 3 is molded over the entire surfaces of the shelf parts 2 by a double layer forming process, simultaneously with the integral incorporation of the shelf parts 2 and the storage rack body 1. In this storage rack, the upper surface of each of the shelf parts 2 is sloped downward toward the wall surface of the storage rack body 1, and accordingly, water having dropped on the shelf parts 2 flows inward of the shelf parts 2, and is absorbed by the water absorptive layer 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage rack provided in a bathroom, a washroom or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Storage shelves provided in bathrooms, washrooms, etc.
Most of them are made of plastic, and the shelves are also made of a plastic plate, and are often molded integrally with the main body (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-169947).

By the way, even if the shelf portion is made of plastic, the water accumulated on the surface thereof does not flow down and becomes pooled water that is discolored with sliminess, not only causing discomfort to the user but also slipping off the placed object. It was easy to induce.

In addition, in order to prevent articles from falling, the shelves are often inclined so as to decrease their inclination toward the wall surface. In that case, the shelves are brought close to the wall surfaces so that water does not collect. There is a case where a drainage hole is formed in a part and water is drained from the drainage hole, but in this case, there is a drawback that a slimy portion is formed in the vicinity of the drainage hole on the back surface of the shelf portion and it becomes unclean.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a clean storage shelf which does not cause slimming due to water accumulated on the shelf.

[0006]

A storage shelf according to claim 1 (hereinafter referred to as "invention 1") is a storage shelf in which a shelf portion projects from a wall surface, and at least the surface layer portion of the shelf portion is made of a water-absorbent resin. It is characterized by being.

A storage shelf according to claim 2 (hereinafter, referred to as invention 1)
In the storage shelf in which the shelves project from the wall surface, water-absorbent fibers are provided on the surface layer of the shelves, and the water-conducting fibers form water conduits toward the ends of the shelves. It is characterized by being

In the storage shelf according to the first aspect of the invention, the water absorbent resin does not have to be provided on the entire surface layer of the shelf. In this case, the water absorbent resin surface is preferably flush with the surface layer surface of the shelf. For example, when the shelf portion is inclined so as to descend in the depth direction, the surface layer portion can be used as the water-absorbent resin layer only in the portion near the wall surface of the depth portion.

The water-absorbent resin layer is formed by applying a sheet-like water-absorbent resin, coating the water-absorbent resin, and simultaneously forming two layers of the water-absorbent resin and another shelf-forming resin. Although it can be performed by a method or the like, it is preferable to use the simultaneous two-layer molding method because the design of the die-cutting gradient can be easily performed. As the water-absorbent resin, cross-linked polyacrylate-based, isobutylene / maleate-based, popal /
Water-absorbent resins such as polyacrylic acid salts can be used.

In the storage shelf of the second aspect of the present invention, the water conduit formed by the water absorbing fibers is provided so as to reach both ends of the shelf. This water conduit is formed by attaching a strip of water-absorbent fiber to the surface layer of the shelf. In addition, the water-absorbent fiber does not have to be provided on the entire surface layer of the shelf, and for example, when the shelf is inclined so as to descend in the depth direction, the water conduit may be provided in a lower portion near the wall surface of the depth. May be formed. Examples of the water-absorbent fibers include vegetable fibers, silk, fibers obtained by subjecting the surface layer of synthetic fibers to water absorption processing (for example, surface layer hydrolysates of acrylic fibers), and swollen or porous synthetic fibers.

[0011]

In the storage shelf according to the first aspect of the invention, the water in the shelf is absorbed by the water-absorbent resin, the water does not collect, so-called slimy does not occur, and the shelf can be kept clean. Also,
In the storage shelf according to the second aspect of the invention, the water in the shelf portion is absorbed by the water-absorbent fibers and is discharged by the capillary action through the water guide path by the water-absorbent fibers from the end portion, so that water does not collect,
So-called slimy does not occur, and the shelf can be kept clean.
