Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a type of support device that can be easily pulled out and used only when it is necessary to support a type of water, and is particularly suitable for a type of colander.

For example, kitchen cabinets used in general household kitchens usually have a sink and a cooking table installed side by side, and dishes such as dishes that are washed in the sink after a meal are placed in a drainer placed on or near the cooking table. Usually, they are transferred to a storage basket and drained.

However, after draining the dishes and putting them back in the cupboard, the draining basket is useless until the next time the dishes are washed, and it gets in the way of cooking, so they should be stored in a suitable place other than the cooking table. It is necessary to do so.

For this reason, the storage space for the conventional dish drainer basket must always be kept empty, which has the drawback that the narrow space in the kitchen cannot be used effectively.

Further, the water accumulated in the draining basket must be drained into the sink every time draining is completed, which has the disadvantage that this work is troublesome.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the telescopic coil-shaped support member, which is normally stored in an out-of-the-way position on the support stand, is pulled out onto the support stand when in use, and a one-of-a-kind structure is placed between the coils. It is an object of the present invention to provide a support device that can be easily inserted and supported and is particularly suitable for a type of drainer.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of a support device according to the present invention applied to a household cooking table, and Figs. 2A and B
and FIGS. 3A and 3B show a front view and a partially cutaway vertical side view of the support device when it is in use and when it is not in use, respectively.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a kitchen cabinet used in a home kitchen.

Kitchen cabinet 1 has a sink 2 for washing dishes and vegetables.
It is constructed by combining a cooking table 3 for cooking ingredients, and depending on specifications, a gas stand (not shown) or the like can be integrated.

In the case of this embodiment, the cooking table 3 on the right side of the water tank 2a of the sink 2 serves as a work table during cooking, and also serves as a work table when cleaning up after cooking, such as plates 4 and lids for pots and pots of similar shape. It serves as a support stand for draining water.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a type of support device, and in this embodiment, two of them are arranged side by side on the cooking table 3, and since they have the same configuration, one of the support devices will be mainly explained.

The support device 5 has a support member 6 made of an extensible coiled spring material.

One end of the support member 6 is fixed in a storage opening 8 in a step 7 at the rear of the top surface of the cooking table 3, and the other end of the support member 6 can be inserted from the opening 8a of the storage opening 8 toward you as needed. It can be pulled out.

The depth of the stepped portion 7 is sufficient to accommodate the support member 6 at its natural length or in a slightly compressed state.

9 is a locking member fixed to the other end of the support member 6;
As shown in FIG. 3, it has a configuration in which a large-diameter disk 9a and a small-diameter disk 9b, which has a slightly larger diameter than the coil diameter of the support member 6, are coaxially connected. The end is
An L-shaped handle 9c is fixed to the center of the end face of the large-diameter disk 9a.

A protrusion 10 formed on the outer periphery of the small-diameter disk 9b serves as a storage opening 8.
When the support member 6 is not in use, the protrusion 10 engages with the inner wall of the stepped portion 7 to prevent the support member 6 from flying out.

Here, after the handle 9c is used to pull out the support member 6,
It is used to lock the other end of the support member 6 to the front edge of the cooking table 3.

Reference numeral 12 denotes an engagement groove formed on the front edge to ensure secure engagement with the handle 9C, and is shaped so that the tip of the handle 9c can safely engage therein.

When storing the support member 6, the protrusion 10 on the outer periphery of the small diameter disc 9b is aligned with the notch 11 of the opening 8a, and the small diameter disc 9
After pushing b into the storage opening 8, turn the handle 9c horizontally by about 9
Twist 0 degrees.

As a result, the protrusion 10 of the small diameter disc 9b is engaged with the inner wall of the step 7, and the support member 6 is stored in the storage opening 8 in a state where it is prevented from popping out, as shown in FIG. 3B.

On the other hand, when pulling out the stored support member 6, twist the handle 9c in the opposite direction to the above and pull the support member 6 toward you together with the small diameter disc 9b. What is necessary is just to make it lock in the engagement groove 12.

Here, in this embodiment, a plurality of support grooves 13 are provided on the upper surface of the cooking table 3, each of which is approximately perpendicular to the direction of expansion and contraction of the support member 6, so that the peripheral edge of a plate 4 or similar disc-shaped tableware engages with the upper surface of the cooking table 3. It is perforated in two rows.

When the support member 6 is pulled out from inside the storage opening B and the handle 9c is engaged with the engagement groove 12 when draining water, a gap for type 1 insertion is formed between the adjacent coils 6a of the support member 6 that extends. It corresponds to each support groove 13 one by one.

In this way, by stretching the support member 6, each coil 6
A gap for inserting one type is formed between a, and by inserting a washed one in this gap, a plurality of one types can be supported in an orderly manner on the support groove 13 in an attitude suitable for draining.

In this case, the plates 4 are held between the coils 6a one by one at the front and back, so they do not shift laterally even when vibrations are applied, and the plates 4 are supported facing each other with a minimum gap, so the cooking table 4
The upper surface of the room can be effectively used as space for one room.

Further, in the case of this embodiment, a protrusion 14 is formed on the side of the support groove 13 on the upper surface of the cooking table 3 to prevent the coil 6a from falling.
Care has been taken to prevent the plate 4 inserted between them from rolling even if it shifts laterally.

Further, water cut from the first type supported by the support device 5 accumulates in the support groove 13, but this accumulated water is removed by the support member 6.
This can be easily done using a cloth, a sponge, etc. after storing it in the storage opening 8.

As mentioned above, when the support device 5 is not needed in one room, the support member 6 is stored in the storage opening 8, so that the top of the cooking table 3 can be kept clean and clear. Thereby, it is possible to start cooking immediately after cleaning up the drained dishes 4, etc., and the cooking table 3 can be efficiently used for both cooking and draining.

Further, the support member 6 used in the support device 5 may be a normal coil spring or the like, but if a metal spring material is used and there is a concern about rusting due to water, the spring material may be coated with vinyl chloride resin or the like. It is recommended to use

In the above embodiment, the support device 5 is mounted on the cooking table 3.
Although these are arranged in parallel, the number is not limited to two, and one or three or more may be provided.

Further, in the above embodiment, the support stand is not limited to the cooking table 3, but for example, the stand on the left side when facing the water tank 2a in FIG. 1 may be used as the support stand.

Further, in the above embodiment, a plurality of engagement grooves 12 on the cooking table 3 may be combined into one cylindrical engagement groove, and this cylindrical engagement groove is connected to the water tank 2a through a drainage groove. By keeping them connected, it is possible to automatically drain the water that has run out.

Further, in the above embodiment, the support device 5 is not limited to the home kitchen cabinet 1, but can also be applied to commercial kitchen equipment and the like.

As explained above, according to the first class support device of the present invention, when the first class support is not required, the other end of the coiled support member is closely locked to the one end, and the support member is placed in the way of the support on the support stand. It can be stored in a corner where the support member cannot be used, and when in use, by locking the other end of the support member apart from the one end, a gap can be formed between adjacent coils that allows a type of insertion support. This makes it possible, for example, to use a cooking table in the kitchen as a support and drain dishes that have been washed on the cooking table, and it is possible to use the cooking table as a support for draining without using a special draining basket. The ice-cutting basket can be removed from the top of the cooking table, which serves as a stand and therefore a place to store pots and pots, making effective use of the top surface.Also, the water that accumulates on the table due to draining can be transferred to the adjacent sink. It has the advantage that the top surface of the cooking table can always be used hygienically by allowing it to flow away or simply wiping it off with a sponge material or the like.
