Disposable filter for a sink

Abstract

A disposable filter for a sink including a substantially inverted disposed conical filter having a rounded conical apex and a continuous horizontally disposed circular bottom rim. A circular top rim is continuously disposed on a top surface of the bottom rim of the filter. A concave-shaped indentation is continuously disposed through each of an exterior edge of the bottom rim and an outer surface of the top rim. A plurality of tabs is attached to the outer surface of the top rim. An adhesive layer is disposed on a bottom surface of the bottom rim of the filter. The filter is removably disposed atop an exterior surface of a sink, with an exterior edge of the indentation disposed around an exterior surface of a base of a faucet.

Claims

1. A disposable filter for a sink comprising: a substantially inverted disposable conical filter having a rounded conical apex and a continuous horizontally disposed circular bottom rim, the bottom rim having a top surface, a bottom surface, an interior edge, and an exterior edge; a circular top rim continuously disposed on the top surface of the filter bottom rim, the top rim having a continuous inner surface, an outer surface, an upper surface, and a lower surface; a concave-shaped indentation continuously disposed through each of the exterior edge of the filter bottom rim and the top rim outer surface; a plurality of tabs attached to the outer surface of the top rim, wherein one of the plurality of tabs is disposed proximal the indentation; an adhesive layer continuously disposed on the bottom surface of the filter bottom rim from proximal a right end of the indentation to proximal a left end of the indentation; and a covering removably attachable to the adhesive layer; wherein the filter is removably disposed atop an exterior surface of a sink; wherein an exterior edge of the indentation is disposed around an external surface of a base of a faucet when the filter is disposed atop the exterior surface of the sink.

2. The disposable filter for a sink of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of tabs is substantially semi-circular.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(6) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, an example of the instant disposable filter for a sink employing the principles and concepts of the present disposable filter for a sink and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

(7) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5, the present disposable filter for a sink 10 is illustrated. The disposable filter for a sink 10 includes a substantially inverted disposable conical filter 20 having a rounded conical apex 22 and a continuous horizontally disposed circular bottom rim 24. The bottom rim 24 has a top surface 26, a bottom surface 28, an interior edge 30, and an exterior edge 32. A circular top rim 34 is continuously disposed on the top surface 26 of the bottom rim 24 of the filter 20. The top rim 34 has a continuous inner surface 36, an outer surface 38, an upper surface 40, and a lower surface 42. A concave-shaped indentation 44 is continuously disposed through each of the exterior edge 32 of the bottom rim 24 of the filter 20 and the outer surface 38 of the top rim 34. A plurality of tabs 46 is attached to the outer surface 38 of the top rim 34. One of the plurality of tabs 48 is disposed proximal the indentation 44. Each of the plurality of tabs 46 is optionally substantially semi-circular, and the plurality of tabs 46 is optionally three.

(8) The disposable filter for a sink 10 further includes an adhesive layer 50 continuously disposed on the bottom surface 28 of the bottom rim 24 of the filter 20 from proximal a right end 52 of the indentation 44 to proximal a left end 54 of the indentation 44. A covering 56 is removably attachable to the adhesive layer 50. As best shown in FIG. 5, the filter 20 is removably disposed atop an exterior surface 58 of a sink 60. An exterior edge 62 of the indentation 44 is disposed around an external surface of a base 64 of a faucet 66 when the filter 20 is disposed atop the exterior surface 58 of the sink 60.
