Claims15
A sink insert comprising:
- at least one holding rod for cleaning rags, wherein:
- the at least one holding rod has a round-hollow cross section and is straight over a complete length of an upper portion of the at least one holding rod and includes a flat portion at opposed end sections of a lower portion of the at least holding one rod, wherein the flat portion is a flat plane in a length direction of the at least one holding rod and in a cross direction perpendicular to the length direction and transitions into the lower portion of the round-hollow cross section of the at least one holding rod,
- the at least one holding rod is composed of at least two partial rods which have the round-hollow cross section and are provided with complementary interlocking sections, allowing separation,
- the complementary interlocking sections are designed as matched plug-in sections, and
- the at least two partial rods are configured to be latchable, lockable, and length-adjustable.
