BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, FIG.
An embodiment is shown, where 1 is a kitchen sink, 2 is a rectangular sink on the sink 1, and 3 is a faucet, respectively. A water guiding groove 4 having a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction is formed on the inner side of the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2, that is, on the far side surface 2b. A drain port 5 is provided.

The bottom surface 2a of the sink 2 is generally slightly inclined toward the guide groove 4 as shown in FIG.
Further, the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4 is formed so as to be gently inclined toward the drainage port 5 provided at the substantially central portion thereof as shown in FIG. Also, the bottom surface 2a of the sink
It is preferable that a relatively large step C is formed on the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove. A drain pipe 6 extends below the drain port 5, as shown in FIG.

In the sink 2 having the above-mentioned structure, when a drain port having a predetermined amount of drainage efficiency is formed,
If it is formed by using the side surface 4a as in this embodiment, as compared with the case where the entire drainage port is formed only on the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIGS. Since the mouth 5 is difficult to see from the upper surface of the sink 2, the appearance of the sink 2 for the user is improved. Further, particularly in this embodiment, since the drain port 5 is formed on the front side surface 4a in the guide groove 4, it is more difficult for the user of the sink 2 to see it.

3 (a) and 3 (b) show a modified use example of the drainage port 5. As shown in FIG. Drain port 5 in this embodiment
Is formed from the side surface 4a to the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4, so that the drainage efficiency is further improved as compared with the drainage port of the above-described embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the drain port 5 has a bottom surface 4 from the top surface of the sink 2.
Since only the portion formed in b is visible, it looks better than the one in which the entire drainage port is formed in the bottom surface 4b, as in the above-described embodiment.

Next, FIGS. 4A and 4B show another modified use example of the drainage port 5. Since the drainage port 5 in this embodiment is formed from the side surface 4a of the guide groove 4 to the bottom surface 4b and the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2, the drainage efficiency is further improved. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), since the drain port 5 can be seen only from the top surface of the sink 2 on the bottom surface 4 b and the sink bottom surface 2 a,
The same effects as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

The drain port 5 formed on the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4 and the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2 may not be connected to the drain port 5 formed on the side surface 4a. Then, in order to improve the drainage efficiency of these drainage ports 5 without spoiling the appearance of the sink 2, the step C between the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4 and the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2 should be increased, or the drainage port 5 should be formed on the side surface 4a. It is preferable to form it long in the longitudinal direction.

Returning to the first embodiment described above, in the case of washing dishes, for example, in the sink 2 using a tub 8 having a bottom surface 8a whose drainage opening 5 is larger than the drainage opening 5 as shown in FIG. Even if there is, a gap corresponding to the step C is secured between the bottom surface 8a of the tub 8 and the drain port 5, so that the drain port 5 and the side surface 4a in the vicinity thereof may be blocked by the bottom surface 8a of the tub 8. Absent.

Further, since the guide groove 4 is formed to be at least longer than the bottom diameter of the tub 8, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6, the water on the lower side in the figure, that is, on the front side of the sink 2 is tub. 8 flows into the guide groove 4 extending to the left and right sides of the tub 8 so as to wrap around the left and right sides of the tub 8 and travels along the guide groove 4
Is discharged to the inside of the drain port 5 without fail. By using the guide groove 4 in this manner, it is not necessary to deform the sink 2 to secure a water guide path, and even if the sink is substantially rectangular as seen from above as in the embodiment, the guide is surely guided. The road can be secured.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a sink 2 as a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the sink 2 of the first embodiment in that the drainage port 5 is provided at the right end of the guide groove 4, and the inner surface of the guide groove 4 is inclined from the left side to the right side in the drawing. Is the point that is formed.

Even if the drainage port 5 is formed at the left or right end of the guide groove 4 as described above, the drainage port 5 is not blocked by the trough 8 or the like, so that water and dust are not shown in FIG. Flowing in the direction indicated by the arrow, the same drainage effect as in the first embodiment described above can be obtained.

Further, FIG. 8 shows a sink 2 as a third embodiment of the present invention, and a plurality of guide grooves 4 may be formed along the inner side 2b of the sink 2 in this way.
By doing so, drainage can be performed more efficiently and reliably. Also in this case, the positions where the guide groove 4 and the drain port 5 are arranged are arbitrary.

9 and 10 show another embodiment of the present invention. The respective configurations are almost the same as those of the above-described embodiment, except that the drainage port 5 is formed from the bottom surface 4b of the guide groove 4 to the front side surface 4a and the sink bottom surface 2a, as shown in FIG. The point is that a cover lid 9 flush with the bottom surface 2a is detachably attached to the drain port 5.

As described above, since the drain port 5 usually formed on the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2 is closed by the cover 9, the inside of the drain pipe 6 such as a garbage basket is hard to see from the user side. The appearance is improved. Further, since the opening is widened by removing the cover lid 9, it becomes possible to easily remove and clean the dust basket (not particularly shown) below the cover lid 9. In addition, the drainage port 5 is a guide groove 4
Since it is secured inside, drainage efficiency will not decrease.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are changes and additions without departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.

For example, a drain port 5 formed in the guide groove 4
The shape, the number, the installation location, and the like are arbitrary, and are not limited to those in this embodiment.

Further, in order to make the drainage port 5 less visible, the side surface of the guide groove 4 may be formed so as to be inclined so that the lower end thereof is located below the bottom surface 2a of the sink 2.
