Description

This invention relates to a drainer for a kitchen sink, more specifically, a drainer whose width can be adjusted by folding and unfolding.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-56742 discloses this type of drainer. In this publication, one end of a long plate-shaped shelf is provided with a first engaging portion that is engaged with an installation location such as the upper surface of a sink or the edge of an upper opening of a sink, and the other end of this shelf is provided with a slide mechanism. A shelf frame body having a plurality of shelf rods through which the shelf frame body is provided so as to protrude and slide in the extension direction of the length direction of the shelf body, and the protruding tip of the shelf frame body is locked to the installation location. wherein the slide mechanism is provided at the other end of the shelf with a guide hole communicating between the inside and the outside of the shelf, and the slide mechanism is inserted into the shelf through the guide hole It is described that the shelf is provided with guide portions for slidingly guiding the shelf rods of the shelf frame.

JP-A-11-56742

In the above-mentioned publication, a shelf frame body having a first locking portion for hooking on a sink at one end thereof protrudes in the longitudinal direction of the shelf body through a slide mechanism. The shelf frame is slidably provided, and the projecting end of the shelf frame is provided with a second engaging portion for engaging on the facing sink, so that the length direction can be adjusted according to the sink. There is, but it is not possible to adjust the width of the drainer. That is, there is a problem that it is not possible to adjust the width to a desired width according to the size and quantity of dishes to be drained.

In addition, since the shelf and the second locking part that secures the plurality of shelf rods are usually made of materials such as silicon rubber or plastic, it is difficult to maintain them cleanly, and they deteriorate with long-term use. There is a problem that there is a risk of damage due to

The present invention is a drainer on which washed dishes such as plates and cups are laid horizontally between the facing edges around the kitchen sink, and is a long rectangle having a length that can be suspended between the facing edges. A unit frame having a shape is formed, and a plurality of the unit frames are arranged in parallel so that the long sides are adjacent to each other, and the adjacent long sides are connected by a connecting member that connects the adjacent long sides so that they can be folded and unfolded to form a unit frame. In order to solve the above problems, the width of the drainer can be freely adjusted by folding and unfolding each bag.

In addition, one or a plurality of supporting rods are provided in the unit frame to divide the longitudinal direction of the long side into large and small pieces so that the peripheral edge of the washed dish can be supported by the supporting rods so that it can be placed upright. I did.

The drainer of the present invention can be folded and unfolded for each unit frame by connecting the unit frames, so that the width during use can be easily adjusted. The collapsing unit frames are overlapped with each other to narrow the width of the colander, so that the strength and stability are improved. In addition, since the minimum width in the folded state is one unit frame, there is an effect that it can be stored in a narrow space when not in use.

The drainer of the present invention can be provided at a low cost by a simple structure consisting only of a unit frame and its connection member, and has the effect of being easy to care for, keeping clean, and being able to be used for a long time.

Since the receiving and supporting rods are provided in the unit frame, the plates can be placed upright by the supports, so that the draining of the water can be facilitated.

The present invention is a drainer on which washed dishes such as dishes and cups are laid horizontally between the facing edges around a kitchen sink, and has a long side having a length that can be suspended on the facing edges. A connecting member that forms a rectangular unit frame having short sides, aligns a plurality of the unit frames so that the long sides are adjacent to each other, and connects the adjacent long sides so that the adjacent long sides can be folded and unfolded. Configure by connecting. In addition, the unit frame is provided with a receiving and supporting rod that divides the length of the long side into large and small pieces so that the peripheral edge of the plate is supported so that the plate can be placed upright.

As shown in FIG. 1, a stainless steel round bar with a diameter of about 4 to 6 mm is used, and a long side 1a having a length that can be horizontally placed between facing upper surface edges S1, S1 around a general kitchen sink S. 1a and short sides 1b, 1b with a length of 40 to 60 mm to form rectangular unit frames 2, and six unit frames 2 are arranged in parallel so that the long sides 1a are adjacent to each other. Both ends of the long sides 1a, 1a of each unit frame body 2 are rotatably connected by connecting members 3, 3 in the form of flat stainless steel belts to form a drain 4. As shown in FIG. Denoted at 5 is a projection for preventing the connecting member 3 from slipping.

As shown in FIG. 2, the drainer 4 formed in this manner is laid horizontally between the facing upper surface edges S1, S1 of the kitchen sink S, and the washed tableware D such as dishes, cups, and bowls are placed thereon to drain the water. of.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of use for adjusting the width of the drainer 4, and folding each unit frame 2 from the maximum width (a) to (f) when all the connected unit frames 4 are unfolded. With such a simple operation, the width of the unit frame 2 can be adjusted to be narrower at will. The inside of the kitchen sink S can be widened to make it easier to use while securing the necessary width of the drainer 4 depending on the convenience of use.

4 and 5 show a unit frame in which an intermediate member 1c is provided between the long sides in the unit frame body 2 and a plurality of supporting rods 1d are provided at large, medium and small intervals between the intermediate member 1c and one of the long sides. An example of the body 22 is shown, and four unit frames 22 are alternately turned over in the short side direction and connected. In this way, the peripheral edges of the thin flat dish D can be supported and placed upright to promote draining. The drainer 4 may be formed by combining and connecting the unit frame 2 and the unit frame 22 .

In the above embodiments, examples of forming the colander 4 in which six or four unit frames are connected are shown, but it is also possible to provide an odd number of unit frames, eight unit frames, or the like. Moreover, since the drainer 4 of the present invention can be folded up to the width of the unit frame regardless of how many pieces are connected, it can be stored compactly when not in use. In addition to draining the tableware D, the drainer 4 can also be used as a drainer for heavy pans or as a chopping board during cooking by adjusting the width.

The drainer of the present invention is widely used because the width can be easily adjusted.
