Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a chopstick holder for holding chopsticks, spoons, forks, etc., and specifically relates to a technique for reliably draining water.

[Background technology]

In the conventional chopstick holder, as shown in FIG. 1, a large number of drainage holes 6' are formed in the bottom surface 2' of the main body. However, if these drainage holes 6' are large, the tip of a chopstick a or a fork will get stuck in the drainage hole 6, blocking the drainage hole 6, and the water droplets that run down the chopsticks will not be drained properly, and instead, the dirt in the drainage hole 6' will become water droplets. At the same time, there were problems such as adhesion to the tips of the chopsticks and breakage of the tips when taking out the chopsticks.
In order to solve this problem, it may be possible to reduce the diameter of the drainage hole 6', but if the hole diameter is small, the drainage hole will be blocked by surface tension, impairing air permeability and making it impossible to drain and dry. This would have caused problems.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was created in view of these problems, and it has a large drainage hole that does not become clogged by surface tension and has sufficient air permeability. To provide a chopstick holder that does not allow the tips to get stuck therein and is efficient in draining and drying.

[Disclosure of invention]

In the present invention, the bottom surface 2 of a bottomed container body 1 that is open at the top is sloped downward toward at least one side, and a recessed groove 3 that is lower than the bottom surface 2 is formed around the bottom surface 2. This relates to a chopstick holder in which a large-diameter drainage hole 6 is provided in a portion of the groove side wall 5 on the inner circumferential side of both the inner circumferential and outer circumferential groove side walls that are connected to the groove bottom surface 4 of the recessed groove 3. With this configuration, the above object has been achieved.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The chopstick stand 7 is molded from synthetic resin into a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is designed to store chopsticks, spoons, forks, rice ladle letters, etc., and to drain and dry them. Bottom surface 2 of container body 1
are inclined downward toward both ends of the chopstick stand 7 in the front and back direction, so that water droplets dripping onto the bottom surface 2 can be drained toward both ends. A recessed groove 3 lower than the bottom surface 2 is provided around the periphery of the bottom surface 2. Thus, water droplets on the bottom surface 2 can be collected in the recessed grooves 3. Of the inner and outer walls of the recessed groove 3, a horizontally long large-diameter drainage hole 6 is formed in the groove side wall 5 portion on the inner peripheral side that is continuous with the groove bottom surface 4.
... has been formed. Thus, the water collected in the recessed groove 3 can be discharged to the outside through the drainage hole 6. 8 in the figure is a ventilation hole.

According to such a configuration, water droplets flow down from the chopsticks, spoons, etc. stored in the chopstick stand 7, and these water droplets flow down the inclined bottom surface 2 and are collected in the recessed groove 3. It is discharged from the drainage hole 6 which is connected to the groove bottom surface 4 of No. 3. Furthermore, the outside air is circulated through the drainage hole 6 and the ventilation hole 8 for drying. In this case, since the horizontally elongated drainage hole 6 is provided in the inner groove side wall 5, the tips of chopsticks and the like will not get into the drainage hole 6.

In the embodiment, the bottom surface 2 is sloped downward toward both ends in the front-rear direction, but the bottom surface 2 may have a shape in which the central portion is higher and slopes downward in all directions. The shape of the bottom surface 2 can be modified in various ways as long as it is sloped downward toward the bottom surface 2.

FIG. 8 shows a fixture 9. The bottom 10 of the fixture 9, which is formed in a substantially dish shape, has a middle part between the upper and lower parts of the base having a mid-height shape, and a mounting hole 13 for inserting a screw 12 is formed in a deep part 11 of the bottom part 10 at the top and bottom. and a pothole 1 for hooking and locking the narrow neck part 16 of the suction cup 15 on the middle high part 14 of the bottom part 10.
7 and the upper and lower deep parts 11 of the bottom 10
The back surface is formed into a flat surface so that it can be bonded with the adhesive 18, and in this way, it can be attached with any of the screws 12, the suction cup 15, and the adhesive 18. The fixture 9 is formed with locking pieces 19 on both sides thereof, and the chopstick holder 7 is formed with a pair of L-shaped locking pieces 20, so that it can be attached to a wall or the like. By inserting and locking the pair of locked pieces 20 of the chopstick holder 7 into the locking pieces 19 of the fitting 9 from above, the chopstick holder 7 can be attached to a wall or the like via the fitting 9. There is. In this case, the rear upper edge flange 21 of the chopstick holder 7 comes into contact with the upper edge 22 of the fixture 9, and the chopstick holder 7 does not come off downward.

[Effect of idea]

In summary, the present invention has the bottom surface of a bottomed container body that is open at the top inclined downward toward at least one side, and a recessed groove that is lower than the bottom surface is formed around the bottom surface. Of both the inner and outer groove side walls that connect to the groove bottom, a large diameter drainage hole is cut through the inner groove side wall.In other words, the bottom surface is sloped downward to one side. Since a recessed groove is formed around the bottom surface, water droplets flowing down from chopsticks etc. placed on the bottom of the container can be collected in the recessed groove, and water from chopsticks etc. placed on the bottom surface can be effectively drained. Furthermore, since a large-diameter drain hole is cut through the inner groove side wall of both the inner and outer groove side walls that are connected to the groove bottom of the recessed groove, the drain hole can be removed from the surface. Water collected in the recessed grooves can be reliably drained without being blocked by tension, and sufficient ventilation can be achieved for sufficient drying, while drainage holes are formed in the side walls of the grooves. Therefore, there is an advantage that the tips of the chopsticks and the like do not enter the drainage holes, and that they are not blocked or damaged when removing the tips of the chopsticks.
