Abstract
A cleaning and draining device for a sink includes a rectangular basket having an open top end formed with a peripheral support frame or rim extending about the open end. Opposite portions of the rim or frame are adapted to rest on and be slidingly supported on opposite upper edges of the sink. The rim is enlarged at one of the supported ends of the basket to form a generally rectangular and planar tray which is adapted to support cleaning tools, soap and the like, and is arranged to drain into the basket. The walls of the basket are apertured to permit drainage into the sink and are strengthened with reinforcing ribs to prevent excessive deformation of the basket when the same is filled with fruits, vegetables, meats or the like to be cleaned.
Claims22
A cleaning and draining device for a sink comprising a generally rectangular basket having a bottom, side and end walls, and an open top end;
- at least one of said walls being foraminous to permit water drainage therethrough;
- support portions extending outwardly from opposite sides of said basket adapted to rest on and be slidably supported on opposite upper edges of a sink, at least one of said support portions being generally planar to form a tray adapted to support cleaning tools, soap and the like, said tray being arranged in a generally horizontal plane when said support portions rest on the edges of the sink, and said tray including a recessed bottom wall provided with an upwardly projecting surface extending about the periphery of said bottom wall to permit drainage of water accumulated on said tray only into said basket.
A cleaning and draining device for a sink comprising a generally rectangular basket having a bottom, side and end foraminous walls to permit water drainage therethrough, and an open top end;
- support portions extending outwardly from opposite sides of said basket adapted to rest on and be slidably supported on opposite upper edges of a sink, at least one of said support portions being generally planar to form a tray adapted to support cleaning tools, soap and the like, each of said basket walls being provided with an apertured portion formed by a plurality of generally parallel spaced ribs, and spaced elongate cross members extending between each pair of adjacent spaced ribs to form elongate slots, said parallel ribs being uniformly spaced from each other, and said elongate cross members being uniformly spaced from each other, whereby said slots are generally uniform in length and width on said apertured portion, and said elongate cross members being inclined at a uniform angle with respect to said parallel ribs and said elongate cross members alternate in the direction of inclination at successive ones of said parallel ribs, whereby said elongate cross members on both sides of a single rib form mirror images with respect thereto.
