Abstract
A device for draining and temporarily storing items in the vicinity of a sink includes a bucket and nestable strainer. The bucket has two flexible straps which are secured to the interior of the sink basin by suction cups thereby supporting the bucket and nestable strainer adjacent to the sink basin without interfering with the workable area around the sink. The flexible straps also facilitate emptying any liquid accumulated within the bucket into the sink without loosening the suction cup attachment by first removing the strainer from the bucket and then tilting the bucket over the rim of the sink basin.
Claims19
A device for storing items used in and around a sink, said device comprising:
- a sink
- a bucket for holding contents therein, the bucket having a top rim;
- a bracket pivotally connecting the bucket to the sink, the bracket being pivotal to enable the bucket to be pivoted between a first substantially upright position outwardly of and adjacent to the sink and a second tilting position in which the top rim of the bucket is elevated entirely over the top rim of the sink so that, in the second tilting position, the contents of the bucket are emptied solely into the sink.
