And, the first sink and the second sink is characterized in that the jaw portion is further formed in each of the edge portion.

In addition, the first sink is characterized in that the induction mounting hole 120 is further formed to mount the induction heater or the like in the center.

And, the second sink is characterized in that the faucet installation hole is further formed so that the water connection.

Furthermore, the hinge portion is configured such that the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are rotatably connected by hinge pins, and the hinge portions formed to engage each other at ends of the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are spirally engaged. , The first hinge plate is characterized in that it is configured to rotate shifted around the second hinge plate.

Finally, the height adjusting means includes a control hole and a fixing hole formed in the inner tube and the exterior of the leg portion configured to slide along the longitudinal direction in the form of a double tube, and a fixing pin that can be selectively fitted into the adjusting hole through the fixing hole; The plurality of adjustment holes are characterized in that formed in the inner tube at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction.

According to the present invention has the following effects.

1) Simple sinks can be installed and used as needed, such as when people need to cook, such as ceremonial occasions, and can be folded and stored after use.

2) Because it can be folded and stored, the storage area does not have to be large.

3) Since it can be easily moved to a required place, it is easy to change the position to a position requiring a simple sink.

4) Since the height of the simple sink can be arbitrarily adjusted in consideration of the user's height, it is possible to prevent the waist from becoming stiff.

5) Since the sink plate and leg part, commonly called sink bowls, can be folded and stored, the size of the simple sink can be folded to the minimum and narrowest.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of a simple sink according to the present invention.

The simple sink of the present invention, the hinge for connecting the first sink 100 and the second sink 200, the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 for food cooking and washing, etc. foldable. The unit 300 is configured to include a leg portion 400 which is installed at each corner portion of the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 that is adjustable and foldable height.

Hereinafter, each of these components will be described in more detail.

The first sink 100 is typically a kind of sink plate for cooking preparation such as trimming food materials, etc., and is manufactured in a rectangular shape. In addition, the first sink 100 is formed with a jaw portion (110, 111) so that water does not flow to the outside of the cooking portion at each of the upper edge portion. In particular, the jaw portion 110 which is installed in contact with the wall of the city factory is preferably formed relatively higher than the other three jaw portion 111, it is preferable to completely block the flow of water toward the wall. And, the remaining jaw portion 111 is made of a predetermined height, for example, 15mm to prevent the water flows without causing inconvenience to the user during cooking or cooking preparation. These jaws (110, 111) are described as having a different height, but it is also possible to manufacture all have the same height.

In addition, the induction mounting hole 120 may be further formed at the center of the first sink 100 to substantially cook food. The induction mounting hole 120 is for installing an induction heater, an induction stove, or the like, which is manufactured by a conventional technique, so that these cooking devices can be installed not too high than the upper surface of the first sink 100.

The first sink 100 made in this way can be made of a variety of materials. For example, the first sink 100 may be made of metal, porcelain, tile, plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, FRP, artificial marble or synthetic resin. In particular, when manufacturing the first sink 100 with a thin thickness, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, a plurality of protrusions (not shown) can be formed in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the first sink 100 to secure the rigidity. have.

The second sink 200 is a kind of sink ball that is typically used for the purpose of washing food materials, etc., the sink 210 is formed in the center. In particular, the second sink 200 may further comprise a faucet installation hole 230, such as water to the side of the dog sink 210. The faucet installation hole 230 is used when the simple sink stand of the present invention is installed in a built-in form, such as a kitchen, or to further install an auxiliary faucet so that the water can be used outdoors. In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the sink 210 and the faucet installation hole 230, it is more preferable that the coupling is provided so that the sewage and faucet facilities can be easily installed. The coupling at this time uses what was produced by a conventional technique.

The second sink 200 is formed with jaws 220 and 221 at each rim. These jaws 220 and 221 correspond to the jaws 110 and 111 of the first sink 200 described above, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The second sink stand 200 formed as described above is manufactured using the same material as used to manufacture the first sink stand 100.

The hinge part 300 is used to connect the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 to be folded. In particular, when the jaw portion 110, 220 has the same height as the other jaw portion (111, 221) can be used as a hinge portion 300. Of course, in this case, it is preferable to further configure an airtight member (not shown) for the airtightness between the first sink 100 and the second sink 200.

In addition, when the hinge portion 300 is different from the height of the jaw portions 110 and 220, the interference occurs between the jaw portions 110 and 220 when a general hinge is used. Therefore, in this case, it is preferable that the hinge portion 300 uses a gravity hinge (inclined hinge) so that interference does not occur when the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 are folded. Gravity hinges (inclined hinges) means that one hinge plate to be inclined along the other hinge plate by folding the two hinge plates connected by the hinge pin. The configuration of such a gravity hinge (inclined hinge) is published in Korea Utility Model Model No. 20-48591 (gravity hinge).

In addition, the hinge portion 300 is configured to maintain the unfolded state of the first sink 100 and the second sink 200. To this end, fixing brackets 311 are formed to face each other at the bottom of the side portion where the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 are in contact with each other. Inserting holes (not shown) are formed in these fixing brackets 311, and fixing pins 312 keep the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 in a flat state. (See FIG. 3A).

Four leg units 400 are installed, one at each corner portion of the first sink 100 and the second sink 200 connected to the hinge 300. And, each leg 400 is provided with a rotary caster 420 having a brake at the lower end. The rotary caster 420 equipped with such a brake is fixed at the position where the trolley and the like are transported so that the trolley does not move arbitrarily, and because the caster is rotatable 360 °, a conventional technique capable of changing the position in any direction. Produced by using the commercially available.

And, the leg portion 400 is provided with a height adjusting means 410 to enable height adjustment. Leg portion 400 is configured such that the inner tube 411 is slidable in the longitudinal direction in the interior 412 in the form of a double tube to enable height adjustment.

Height adjusting means 410 will be described with reference to Figure 2 for explaining the configuration of the height adjusting means 410 according to the present invention. In order to configure the height adjustment means 410, the outer surface 412 is formed with a fixing hole 413, the inner tube 411 is formed to form an adjusting hole 414 to overlap with the fixing hole 413. At this time, the plurality of adjustment holes 414 are formed at regular intervals. In addition, the fixing hole 413 further comprises a fixing pin 415 to be integrally fitted with the adjusting hole 414.

The height adjusting means 410 made in this way is adapted to fit the height of the simple sink, so that the fixing pin 415 is removed so as to fit only in the fixing hole 413, so that the inner tube 411 moves in the longitudinal direction of the exterior 412. To adjust the length. When the length adjustment is completed, the fixing hole 413 and the control hole 414 in the nearest position are overlapped with each other and then fixed with the fixing pin 415.

On the other hand, the leg portion 400 made in this way is installed using a hinge used when installing the folding table legs. As the hinge used at this time, a hinge commonly known as a folding hinge for a table (not shown) is used. The folding hinge for a table means what was comprised so that a table leg could be folded or unfolded by one-touch system.
