; 14 Claims.

This invention relates to a paper liner or receptacle for a sink strainer such as is shown in my copending application Serial No. 9,056, filed March 2, 1935, of which the-present case is a continuaticn in part.

The main objects of this invention are: First, to provide a paper liner which is especi-' I ally well adapted for use with receptacles adapted to strain garbage in the corner of a sink. in Second, to provide a liner of the foregoing character having means associated therewith for lifting the liner out of the-strainer.

Third, to provide an improved paper receptacle which is adapted to fit a. number of sizes of 5 strainers.

Fourth, to provide an improved paper receptacle for strainers, characterized by the efficiency of its straining action.

Objects relating to details and economies of my 2o invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sink strainer containing a paper liner embodying features of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on a line corre-. sponding to line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of my liner. 7 Referring to the drawing, the reference numeral I indicates a triangular garbage receptacle known as a sink strainer. The strainer is adapted to be placed in the corner of a sink to receive garbage, the bottom 2 .of the strainer being perfo-' rated at 3. Strainers of this type are well known and are usually made of enameled ware. The strainer I forms no part of my invention. 40 For the sink strainer, I provide a paper liner .4 formed of a one-piece blank 5 preferably of waxed paper or parchment or other paper treated to resist moisture. The liner is of generally triangular shape as shown in Fig. 3 and is provided with a bottom 6 and flared side walls I and 8 it will be seen that the paper receptacle of mypreferred embodiment 5 liner to adapt itself to quite a range of sizes of strainers, as well as facilitating the Products Company, Sturgis,

1935, Serial No. 8 7,647

invention adapts itself readily to sink strainers of varying sizes, thus finding an unrestricted market.

The bottom 8 is provided with perforations or openings l2 and the side walls are provided with perforations or openings I8. The provision of openings is in the side walls, I have found, greatly facilitates the drainage of liquid from the garbage deposited in the liner, inasmuch as the bottom of the liner maybecome closely packed with garbage therein. Liquid draining down the side walls of the liner and through the garbage finds an opening through the perforations II and drains out through the strainer into the sink therethrough.

In use, the liner is placed inthe strainer l as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. when the strainer is ready to be emptied, the flaps 9 and 19 are grasped, inasmuch as they project above the top I of the strainer and provide a handle for lifting the liner and the contents, like a bag, out of the strainer. The liner and contents are disposed of as a body, leaving the strainer I in a clean and sanitary condition.

-I contemplate by my invention paper liners of the character set forth,which are perforated as well as unperforated. Further, in some cases, it

is possible to omit the flaps 8 and Ill, although these flaps are an important feature of my invention. The corrugated portions enable the strainers and considerable variation in shapes of setting up of the one-piece liner.

I have illustrated and described my improvements in an embodiment which I have found very practical. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe other embodimentsor adaptations as it is believed this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements as may be desired.

. Having thus described my invention, what l:- claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patcut is:
