DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the split type net car, a bottomed cylindrical net car 1 is axially divided into two halves to form a pair of split net cars 1A and 1B. The mesh basket 1 may have a polygonal tubular shape such as a square tubular shape as well as a cylindrical shape.

As shown in the exploded view of FIG. 3, each of the divided net cages 1A and 1B is provided with a frame 1b having a semicylindrical side portion with a large opening 1a formed therein, and an upper inner surface of the frame 1b is provided with: A base portion 1d of a semi-circular large-diameter flange 1c is fitted and fixed by welding or the like.

Also, on the inner surface of the lower portion of the frame 1b,
The base portion 1f of the semicircular bottom plate 1e is fitted and fixed by welding or the like, and a large number of drain holes 1g are radially formed in the bottom plate 1e.
…, 1g is left open. Inside the frame 1b,
A semi-cylindrical net 1h is attached so as to cover the opening 1a and fixed by welding or the like. In addition, the frame 1b
If the punching metal has a large number of small holes vertically and horizontally without opening the opening 1a, the net 1h becomes unnecessary.

First and second magnet plates 2A and 2B are fixed to the outer surfaces of the respective divided ends of the frames 1b and 1b of the divided net cars 1A and 1B, respectively. As shown in detail in FIGS. 4 and 5, each of the magnet plates 2A and 2B accommodates a magnet sheet 2a having a long width in the up-down direction in an iron-based yoke 2b having a U-shaped cross section. The bottom upper portion 2c and the bottom lower portion 2d of 2b are bent, the elastic force of the magnet sheet 2a is used to press the upper portion and the lower portion by a plate thickness t, and the magnet sheet 2a is pressed and fixed in the yoke 2b. Both sides 2 of the yoke 2b
e and 2e are flush with the attracting surface of the magnet sheet 2a together with the bottom upper portion 2c and the bottom lower portion 2d.

The magnet sheet 2a may be a magnetized iron plate (stainless steel), a rubber magnet, or a plastic magnet, and is not elastic as long as it is a hard material such as a magnetized iron plate. ,
A recess having a thickness of t is formed in the upper and lower portions of the magnet sheet 2a, and the bottom upper portion 2c and the bottom lower portion 2d of the yoke 2b are fitted into the recesses, and the bottom upper portion 2c and the bottom lower portion 2d are attached to the magnet sheet 2a. It may be flush with the suction surface. In addition, the second magnet plate 2B of one of the split net cages, for example, the split net cage 1B, may be a magnet attraction plate such as a single iron plate having the same shape, instead of the combination of the magnet sheet 2a and the yoke 2b. .

Therefore, a pair of divided net cars 1A, 1B
By making the magnet plates 2A and 2B face each other and attracting each other, the divided net cars 1A and 1B are magnet-locked as one net car 1 by the attraction force so as to be freely separable.

As shown in FIGS. 4 (B) and 5, the semi-spherical positioning projections are formed on the bottom upper portion 2c and bottom bottom portion 2d of the yoke 2b of the first magnet plate 2A of the one split mesh basket 1A. 2g each, and the other split mesh basket 1B
Positioning recesses 2f are formed in a hemispherical shape in the upper bottom 2c and the lower bottom 2d of the yoke 2b of the second magnet plate 2B. When forming the positioning recess 2f, if the magnet sheet 2a is made of a soft material such as a rubber magnet, there is no problem because the positioning recess 2f is dented due to its elasticity, but there is no problem as if the iron plate was magnetized. Since a hard material does not have elasticity, it is preferable to form dents in the upper and lower portions of the magnet sheet 2a in advance.

Therefore, a pair of divided net cars 1A, 1B
When the magnet plates 2A, 2B are faced to each other and attracted, the positioning nets 2f, 2g are engaged with each other, so that the divided net cars 1A, 1B are accurately positioned and magnet-locked.

As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom portion 2h of the yoke 2b of each magnet plate 2A of the one divided net cage 1A.
While fixing the positioning pin (projection) 3a projecting through the magnet sheet 2a at an appropriate position in the vertical direction by caulking and fixing, the magnet sheet 2a of each magnet plate 2B of the other split mesh car 1B Bottom 2 of the yoke 2b
Positioning holes (recesses) 3b that engage with the respective positioning pins 3a are formed in h, and the respective positioning pins 3a are formed.
By engaging with the positioning hole 3b and the positioning net 3b, it is possible to accurately position and split the divided net cages 1A and 1B by magnet locking.

At the center of the upper part of the pair of split net cages 1A and 1B, a semi-circularly curved spring-like handle 4 (see FIG. 1).
Holes for the handle 1i, into which both ends of
1i is opened so that the handle 4 can be attached to the upper opening 1j of the mesh basket 1. The handle 4 can be laid sideways so as to fit inside the large-diameter flanges 1c, 1c centering on both ends.

With the above construction, when the mesh basket 1 is used by being fitted into the drainage outlet of the kitchen sink, as shown in FIG. 1, the pair of divided mesh baskets 1A and 1B are provided with the respective positioning concave / convex portions 2.
Each magnet plate 2 is accurately positioned by f and 2g.
It is magnetically locked by A and 2B. The handle 4 is laid inside the large-diameter flanges 1c, 1c.

When throwing away the garbage collected in the net basket 1, the net 4 can be taken out from the drain port by raising the handle 4 and pulling it up by hand, and then the handle 4 is removed to remove the net. Carry the basket 1 to the top of the trash can.

Then, holding the large-diameter flanges 1c, 1c of the split net cages 1A, 1B with both hands and applying a force to the left and right,
The magnet plates 2A, 2B of the split net cages 1A, 1B are separated from each other against the attraction force, and the split net cages 1A, 1B are split left and right. As a result, the divided net baskets 1A and 1B have side openings 1k having a large split surface together with the upper opening 1j. Therefore, even if the net basket 1 is not turned upside down, the divided net baskets 1A and 1A can be separated by their own weight. 1B naturally drops from the large side openings 1k and 1k,
You can easily throw it away almost completely.

Even if garbage or the like sticks to the inner surfaces of the divided net baskets 1A and 1B, since the side openings 1k and 1k are large, the divided net baskets 1A and 1B are lightly shaken up and down,
By simply tapping the side portions of the split net baskets 1A and 1B by hand, or by tapping the split faces of the split net baskets 1A and 1B lightly on the corners of a trash can or the like, they can be completely discarded. Further, since the garbage sticking to the inner surface of the net basket 1 can be easily scraped off with the fingers or the sticks from the upper openings 1j and the side openings 1k of the split net baskets 1A and 1B, it is easy to clean. Become hygienic.

After discarding the garbage, each divided net basket 1A,
When the magnet plates 2A, 2B of 1B are faced to each other, the split net cages 1A, 1B become the magnet plates 2A, 2B, respectively.
Due to the attracting force of B, the net cage 1 is again magnet-locked. At this time, the positioning concave and convex portions 2f and 2g of the magnet plates 2A and 2B accurately position the divided net cages 1A and 1B so that the divided surfaces do not shift, and carelessly divide the divided cages 1A and 1B when using or carrying. Disappear.

As described above, the split net cages 1A and 1B are magnet-locked by the magnet plates 2A and 2B, whereby the splitting and assembling can be performed easily and quickly with one touch, and the split net cages 1A and 1B can be positioned by magnets. By engaging with the uneven portions 2f and 2g of the plates 2A and 2B, positioning can be easily performed at the same time as suction.
