JPH06193111A - Synethetic resin drip basket for sink - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate removal of dirt by a method wherein longitudinal threads in semicircular section are arranged at an equal interval to the internal surface and breadthwise threads in semicircular section are arranged, being unjoined to the longitudinal threads when crossing, at an equal interval to the external surface, and the longitudinal threads and the breadthwise threads are united together at points of intersection. CONSTITUTION:A cylinder is formed by arranging, at an equal interval, longitudinal threads 7 in semicircular section with its concavity facing inward. And breadthwise threads 8 in semicircular section with its concavity facing outward are arranged at an equal interval to the outside of the longitudinal threads 7 so that they can intersect the longitudinal threads 7 without joining them when crossing. Then, the longitudinal threads 7 and the breadthwise threads 8 are united together at points of intersection, and thereby a net-like surrounding wall 6 is formed. Furthermore, side wall ends 15, 16 are attached to the net-like surrounding wall 6 while a handle 3 is attached thereto, and thereby a drip basket 1 is formed.

も汚なく感じられた。2. Description of the Related Art Generally, if a metal or resin drainer basket is used for a while, slimy dust adheres to the mesh and tends to become unsanitary. In a metal drainage basket, it was often impossible to squeeze this slimy thing into the gaps of the mesh wires intersecting each other even if it was rubbed with a scrubbing brush. In addition, with resin drainage baskets, the hair tips of the scrubbing brush are hard to hit even the corners of the four corners of the mesh, so the dirt on the four corners of the rope does not fall off even if it is repaired many times, and this stain gives off a rotting odor and also looks. It felt dirty.

でいる。Therefore, in the drainage basket for a sink according to the present invention, a plurality of vertical strips having a semicircular cross section are arranged at equal intervals on the inner surface, and the outer surface does not meet the vertical strips. A plurality of horizontal strips having a semicircular cross section are arranged at equal intervals, and the vertical strips and the horizontal strips are integrated at their intersections to form a net peripheral wall of the cage. It is a thing. Here, the semicircular cross section is not limited to a true circle in cross section, and includes a straight line equivalent portion and a curved portion that is rounded and raised with respect to the straight line equivalent portion.

で簡単に造り出せる。[Function] Even if slimy dirt adheres to the mesh-like peripheral wall, when the outer surface is swung along the lateral strip and wiped, the tip of the scrubbing member abuts the entire outer surface to remove the dirt. Further, when the inner surface is scraped from below, the scrubbing brush and the like hit the warp threads arranged at equal intervals, and the sticky dust on the inner wall can also be scratched out. Further, the mesh-like peripheral wall does not form a mesh structure on the same surface, and the opposed strips that form the mesh are in a stepped state, so that there is no catching part and dust at the four corners of the mesh can be taken out without any problem. Further, since such a drainage basket is not a structure subject to molding limitation, it can be easily produced by injection molding.

ている。The basket 2 has an opening 4 into which dust is put, and a flange 5 is provided on the outer periphery of the opening edge. Reference numeral 6 denotes a mesh-like peripheral wall having a drainage outlet as a mesh structure. The reticulated peripheral wall 6 is composed of a vertical strip 7 having a semicircular cross section and a horizontal strip 8 having a semicircular cross section as shown in FIG. For more information,
Vertical strips 7 having a semicircular cross section with the curved surface portion 9 facing inward are arranged at equal intervals to form a cylinder, and lateral strips 8 having a semicircular cross section are formed on the outer surface of the vertical strip 7 so that the curved surface portion 10 is outward. The vertical strips 7 are arranged at equal intervals so as to intersect with each other without meeting. Furthermore, the vertical strips 7 and the horizontal strips 8 are integrated at their intersections. Specifically, the mesh-like body is formed in a state where the flat planes 11 and 12 of the vertical strip 7 and the horizontal strip 8 are in contact with each other. Then, this net-like body is integrally formed in the process of making the basket 2 so as to form the net-like peripheral wall 6 forming the side surface of the basket 2.

きるようにするためである。The vertical strip 7 on the inner surface of the mesh-like peripheral wall 6 has a cross-sectional thickness increased by four places at intervals of 90 degrees with respect to the opening 4 circle to form a reinforcing strip 14. This is to increase the mechanical strength. Reference numerals 15 and 16 denote cylindrical side wall end portions that do not form the mesh-like peripheral wall 6. Here, the inner diameter of the lower side wall end portion 15 is smaller than the inner diameter formed by the vertical strips 7, 7. Also,
The inner diameter of the upper side wall end portion 16 is larger than the inner diameter formed by the vertical strips 7, 7 .... This is because it can be easily manufactured by injection molding.

うになる。Since the drainage basket thus constructed has the vertical strips 7 formed on the inner surface, the injection molding die for molding the inner surface is easy to open and does not require a complicated structure such as undercut. Further, since the outer surface is formed with the horizontal strip 8, this can also be easily formed by a mold that opens to the left and right. And
If the outer circumference of the basket 2 is swung horizontally with a sponge scrubber or a cloth, etc., only the curved surface portion 10 of the horizontal strip 8 projects in a ring shape from the side surface of the basket. It is wiped clean and easy to clean. Further, since the vertical strip 7 does not meet the horizontal strip 8 and is located inwardly of the horizontal strip 8, the flat surface 11 portion of the vertical strip 7 is also cleaned by this wiping. On the other hand, if the inner surface of the basket 2 is wiped with a sponge scrubber along the vertical strip 7, only the vertical strip 7 projects vertically in the inner surface of the basket 2 at the mesh-like peripheral wall 6, so there is no trapping. The slimy dirt and dust attached to the vertical strip 7 can be easily wiped off. Further, since the horizontal strip 8 is located outward of the vertical strip 7 and the flat surface 12 portion of the horizontal strip 8 constitutes the inner side surface of the mesh-like peripheral wall 6, it does not hinder the wiping operation. On the contrary, since a flat surface is formed, such a portion is also cleaned.

にへばり付く垢等も却ぐ落とせるようになる。In general, for example, when a wire is woven like a wire mesh, or a lattice-shaped mesh structure is used, it is difficult to remove stains at the wire-to-wire mating portion and the four corners of the lattice. However, since the net-like peripheral wall 6 according to the present invention is open without any protrusions or the like that interfere in only one direction in any of the constituent parts, the basket 2 can be wiped or brushed along this direction.
It will also be possible to remove dirt that clings to the surface.

Further, the vertical strips 7 and the horizontal strips 8 have a semicircular cross-section, but may have any shape as long as they are rounded and bulged with respect to one straight line portion. It may be.

Since it can be removed, it has a beneficial effect that it is easy to clean and can always be used hygienically.
