Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to the improvement of washing containers such as kitchen washing tubs or wash basins.

[Conventional technology]

Washing containers such as kitchen washing tubs or wash basins are
It is used by placing it on a flat surface and filling it with water or hot water, and although improvements may be made in terms of material or design such as planar shape and color, it is not suitable for use when placed on a flat surface. remains the same, and
It was only intended to be used as a washing container.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

These washing containers have a relatively large planar shape in order to take up as large an effective area as possible during use. Therefore, the installation area becomes large, and when it is not in use, it simply takes up space and becomes a nuisance.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a washing container that can be used in the same way as conventional containers when in use, can be compactly organized when not in use, and can also be used to store other items.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention is designed to be a washing container that can be placed vertically when not in use, and the washing space is effectively used to store and organize other items.

That is, in the washing container according to this invention, at least a part of the peripheral wall of the container body is provided with a peripheral wall that allows the container main body to be placed vertically, and the inner surface of this peripheral wall is made into a planar shape and serves as a surface for placing items. This mounting surface is provided with drainage means that slopes toward the opening end.

As a drainage means, it is preferable to use a plurality of vertical grooves formed on the mounting surface, which become deeper toward the opening end, and it is also advantageous to form the mounting surface itself into a gentle slope toward the opening end. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of vertical protrusions are additionally formed on this inclined mounting surface as a guide for drainage.

The peripheral wall part that allows the container body to be placed vertically may simply be formed into a planar shape, and if surface contact with the installation surface is to be avoided, legs for vertical placement may be provided on the peripheral wall part. What is necessary is to form a structure in which a section is formed.

[Effect]

As mentioned above, when the washing container can be placed vertically on the peripheral wall, when in use it can be stored flat as before, and when not in use it can be stored vertically, so the installation area is small.
It does not get in the way.

In addition, since it has a surface for placing other items when placed vertically, the washing space can be used as a storage space for other items while being stored vertically, so it is not only possible to store the washing container compactly, but also to store related items. Compact storage is also possible.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a kitchen washing tub, in which a peripheral wall 2 is provided on at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the container body 1 to allow the container to be placed vertically. As shown in FIG. 2, it can be placed vertically on this peripheral wall 2.

In this example, the peripheral wall portion 2 is configured as a peripheral wall portion having legs 3 for vertical placement, and the container body 1 is prevented from coming into close contact with the installation surface when placed vertically. The bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2 may be formed into a flat state so that it can be directly installed.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a mounting surface for the article A, which is formed by forming the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 2 into a planar shape, and this mounting surface 4 is provided with a drainage means 5 that is inclined toward the open end.

In this example, the drainage means 5 is composed of a plurality of vertical grooves 5a formed on the mounting surface 4, and as shown in the figure, the vertical grooves 5a become deeper and wider toward the open end. ing.

The drainage means 5 is not limited to the illustrated example, and may include forming the mounting surface 4 itself into a gently sloped shape,
Various means can be adopted, such as forming a plurality of vertical guide protrusions on this inclined mounting surface 4.

Note that in the drawings, reference numeral 7 indicates an overflow hole during normal use.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a wash basin used in a bathroom, and the structures indicated by reference numerals 1 to 5a are the same as in the case of the kitchen wash basin described above.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a mirror attached to the inner bottom surface, which can be effectively used when shaving, etc. when placed vertically as shown in FIG. Note that if a transparent resin film is applied to the mirror surface, it will not be easily broken and the mirror surface can be prevented from becoming cloudy.

[Effect of idea]

The washing container according to this invention is as described above, and can be used in the same way as conventional ones during normal use.
When not in use, it can be stored compactly in a vertical position.
It can be stored, and other items can be stored in the washing space to make it compact and tidy. Additionally, a washbasin equipped with a mirror can be used for face washing and beauty treatments, providing unique storage conditions and uses that cannot be expected from conventional washing containers. In addition, this washing container is equipped with a drainage means on the mounting surface to allow for easy drainage when placed vertically, making it convenient for drying the container and ensuring that items placed there do not slip and are stored in a stable condition. It is configured so that it can be done.

In the case of a configuration in which legs for vertical installation are provided on the peripheral wall that allows vertical installation, it is possible to prevent dirt from forming on the installation surface compared to when the container body is installed in close contact with the installation surface. It has the advantage that a stable installation condition can be obtained even if there are irregularities.
