Abstract
The present invention is a catch container for retaining debris or other materials wiped from the edge of a work surface. The present invention catch container includes a receptacle structure, a mounting bracket adjustably attached to the receptacle structure, and a sloped surface descending toward the receptacle from the mounting bracket. The present invention catch container is mounted under a work surface so that debris displaced from the work surface lands upon the sloped surface. The sloped surface then guides the debris into the receptacle without slashing or spillage.
Claims13
A catch container for collecting debris material displaced over an edge of a work surface, disposed on top of a cabinet structure containing at least one drawer, wherein an overhang exists between said edge of said work surface and said cabinet structure, said catch container comprising:
- a receptacle capable of retaining said debris material without leakage;
- attachment means for selectively attaching said receptacle to said drawer, wherein said receptacle is held in a set position relative said cabinet structure;
- and
- a first sloped surface leading into said receptacle, said first sloped surface being disposed below said edge when said receptacle is at said set position, wherein said first sloped surface receives the debris material displaced over said edge and guides said material into said receptacle;
- a second sloped surface formed at a different angle than said first sloped surface and coupled thereto, said second sloped surface being formed above said attachment means and positioned below said overhang between said edge and said cabinet structure when said receptacle is at said set position, wherein said second sloped surface receives the debris material that falls from said overhang and guides that material onto said first sloped surface.
A container comprising:
- a receptacle capable of retaining a volume of fluid;
- a bracket coupled to said receptacle for removably affixing said receptacle to a top edge of a substantially vertical planar member;
- a first sloped surface descending towards said receptacle;
- and
- a second sloped surface formed at a different angle than said first sloped surface and coupled thereto and, positioned outside of said receptacle above said bracket, leading to said first sloped surface from said bracket, whereby gravity directs loose material from said second sloped material onto said first sloped material and into said receptacle.
