Abstract

A foldable water tray used in a tile cutter includes a water tank having a water chamber, a first tray movable in and out of the water chamber of the water tank between an application position and a storage position, and a second tray pivotally connected to the first tray and biasable relative to the first tray between an extended position where the second tray defines with the first tray a predetermined contained angle and a collapsed position where the second tray covers the first tray and can be moved with the first tray between the application position and the storage position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A foldable water tray used in a tile cutter, comprising:
a water tank comprising a water chamber;
a first tray mounted at one end of said water tank and movable relative to said water tank between an application position where said first tray is disposed outside said water chamber and a storage position where said first tray is disposed inside said water chamber, said first tray comprising a first water retaining surface; and
a second tray pivotally connected to said first tray and biasable relative to said first tray between an extended position and a collapsed position, said second tray comprising a second water retaining surface, said second water retaining surface defining with said first water retaining surface of said first tray a predetermined contained angle when said second tray is disposed in said extended position, said second water retaining surface of said second tray configured to cover said first water retaining surface of said first tray when said second tray is disposed in said collapsed position.

2. The foldable water tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first tray further comprises at least one slot through said first water retaining surface, and at least one elastic protruding portion located at said first water retaining surface and respectively disposed to face toward said at least one slot; said second tray further comprises at least one bearing protrusion located at a bottom side thereof opposite said second water retaining surface and adapted for abutment against said at least one elastic protruding portion of said first tray to support said second tray in said extended position.

3. The foldable water tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said water tank comprises a first stop flange located in said water chamber; said first tray further comprises a second stop flange located at one end thereof for engagement with said first stop flange of said water tank to hold said first tray in said application position.

4. The foldable water tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said water tank further comprise two first positioning protrusions symmetrically disposed at two opposite lateral sides thereof; said first tray further comprises two second positioning protrusions and two third positioning protrusions respectively disposed at two opposite lateral sides of said first water retaining surface of said first tray, said second positioning protrusions of said first tray being adapted for engagement with said first positioning protrusions of said water tank to hold said first tray in said application position, said third positioning protrusions of said first tray being adapted for engagement with said first positioning protrusions of said water tank to hold said first tray in said storage position.

5. The foldable water tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first water retaining surface of said first tray slopes downwards toward said water chamber of said water tank.
