Definitions
- the present invention refers to a plate, glass and cutlery-holding unit.
- Different types of crockery-holders with or without annexed cutlery-holders equipped with compartments suitable for allowing the plates and glasses to be dried by dripping and exposure to the air are known.
- such devices comprise a basket equipped with shaped compartments for housing crockery and/or a basket suitable for receiving cutlery, possibly a tray is arranged under such baskets to collect the drip water.
- the aforementioned devices according to the prior art are somewhat rigid in size since they have a frame with a fixed profile for example with substantially the same dimensions in plan as those of the collection tray.
- the general purpose of the present invention is therefore that of providing a plate, glass and cutlery- holding unit that is compact and multifunctional suitable for avoiding the problems of excessive bulk both during use and when not in use .
- Another purpose of the present invention is that of overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art outlined above in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
- figure 1 is a perspective view of the unit in open position according to a first embodiment of the invention
- figure 2 is a perspective view of the unit of figure 1 in closed position
- figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the unit of figure 1
- - figure 4 is a top front exploded view of the unit of figure 1
- figure 5 is a top side exploded view of the unit of figure 1
- figure 6 is a plan view of the unit of figure 1
- figure 7 is a perspective view of the unit in open position according to a different embodiment of the invention
- figure 8 is a perspective view of the unit of figure 7 in partially closed position
- figure 9 is a perspective view of the unit of figure 7 in closed position.
- a plate, glass and cutlery-holding unit 10, 10' suitable for housing plates and/or saucers 11, glasses 12 and cutlery 13 comprises at least two portions hinged together so that the unit can take up a closed position in which it is intended to house just cutlery and an open position in which the unit can house plates, saucers, glasses and cutlery.
- the unit comprises a cutlery-holding portion 20 and two fold-away portions 30 that carry out the plate-holding, glass-holding and/or saucer-holding function.
- the cutlery-holding portion comprises a base 21 and a slot-type seat 22 that can be engaged on said base 21 to house the cutlery.
- the slot-type seat 22 is in the form of a tubular element 23 with a squashed profile suitable for forming the walls of the cutlery-holder and equipped with end closing edges 24 that extend beyond the transversal width of the tubular element .
- the base 21 is shaped so as to have a perimetric engagement edge 26 cooperating with a bottom 27 arranged inside of it to receive the tubular element 23 closing it at the base through the bottom 27.
- the base 21 carries hinged, through a hinge 28 arranged along one or both sides, at least one, but preferably two, fold-away elements 30 having plate-holding and/or saucer-holding and glass-holding function.
- the unit 10 is made from plastic material due to its qualities of lightness and strength and the slot-type seat 22 can be removed for practicality and for hygiene reasons, nevertheless it is alternatively covered by the purposes of the present invention to make the cutlery-holding portion in a single piece.
- the fold-away elements 30 are equipped with parallel sectors 25 extending from the inner walls and suitable for constituting engagement seats for the plates and saucers or supports for the glasses.
- the unit 10' is foreseen equipped with two fold-away elements 30', 30'' hinged to each other in series, and with the first of the two elements 30' that is proximal hinged to the base of the cutlery-holder.
- the cutlery-holder is thus arranged at the side with respect to the unit 10' .
- the second fold-away element 30'', distal with respect to the cutlery-holder is configured to be closed upon the proximal fold-away element 30' hinged to the cutlery-holder, to then both close against the cutlery- holder obtaining the closing of the unit 10'.
- the wall of the cutlery-holder facing towards the fold-away elements is foreseen equipped with sectors 25 suitable for cooperating with the corresponding sectors 25 extending from the proximal fold-away element 30' to house the plates.
- the end edges 24 extend just from the side facing towards the fold-away elements 30', 30'' to receive them in closing. Suitable elastic engagement means are foreseen to prevent the accidental opening of the unit .
- the unit 10, 10' allows multi-functional use as regards the reduction in bulk being able to operate just as a cutlery-holder or as a crockery-holder and cutlery-holder according to requirements .
