Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen device having a series of kitchen equipment such as a sink, a stove, and a storage cabinet.

Modern kitchen equipment is often placed inside living rooms called LDKs. Therefore, the various equipment that makes up the kitchen equipment, such as sinks, stoves, etc., and storage cabinets such as countertops, water racks, and top bags, have a high aesthetic sense and do not interfere with the atmosphere of the living room. . However, even if the kitchen equipment is designed with consideration as mentioned above, if the kitchen utensils used by the users, such as tableware, cutting boards, and dish towels, are placed cluttered inside the equipment, the aesthetic appearance will be greatly affected. It will be a hindrance. Therefore, for general users, the kitchen equipment is put away in a designated storage space such as a water shed or a canopy. Kitchen utensils that are used daily, such as dish towels, shiyamoji, detergent, scrubbing brushes, etc.
Favorite kettles and other items are often left exposed on hangers or shelves around the top.
This kind of scene is often seen in the kitchen of ordinary households, and even if the kitchen utensils are exposed and tidy, it is hard to say that it is very pleasant, and at least the living room It disrupts the atmosphere.

The reason for the above-mentioned inconvenience is that although the number of utensils to be stored has increased year by year, the area of the kitchen and the storage space for kitchen utensils have not increased.

Furthermore, the space behind the sink, which is most convenient for storing kitchen utensils, is occupied by a window for lighting and ventilation. To this end, items that are used on a daily basis, such as dish towels, cutting boards, pots, tableware, pots, etc., should not be placed exposed on tops near the sink, on hangings installed on walls, or on draining shelves installed in front of windows. As mentioned above, the interior appearance was significantly impaired.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a sink, and has a water tank 3 on a top plate 2 on its upper surface. Reference numeral 4 denotes an opening provided in the upper rear wall surface of the top plate 2, and a bay window 5, which is an exterior body larger than the opening width, is disposed in the opening 4.

The bay window 5 is composed of a frame 5a, a transparent glass door 5b placed facing the opening 4, and a frosted glass 5c placed facing the storage section 7.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a drainer housed in the storage section 7, which can be freely pulled out from a side opening 7a of the storage section 7 via a suspension rail 8. A decorative board 9 is provided at the side end of the draining equipment 6.
When stored in the storage section 7, the decorative board 9 becomes a lid body that covers the side opening 7a of the storage section 7. In addition, the draining equipment 6 includes a draining board 10, a hanging tool 11, and a dish towel hook 12.
and has a storage container 13 for chopsticks, spoons, etc.
Place the washed kitchen utensils, hang them, and drain them.
Dry. A handle 14 is attached to the decorative board 9 and faces the opening 4. 15 is a hanging cabinet attached to the wall.

In the above configuration, the draining equipment 6 can be installed at an eye level position on the upper rear wall surface of the top plate 2, so that kitchen utensils can be taken in and out during kitchen work such as cooking and washing while remaining on the top plate 2. It can be easily done without bending down. In addition, after finishing kitchen work, if you store the draining equipment 6 in the storage section 7, you can store kitchen tools etc. on the top plate 2.
Since it is not exposed to the surroundings, it is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen equipment from being disturbed.Furthermore, it is possible to maintain a good atmosphere in living rooms and other living rooms, and when storing the draining equipment 6, the glass door 5b
Lighting or ventilation can be obtained from the

In addition, since the draining equipment 6 is provided protruding outward from the wall surface of the kitchen and the hanging cabinet 15 is attached to the wall surface, the hanging cabinet 15 provided indoors and the draining equipment 6 provided outside are separated. This provides double storage space. Therefore, the draining equipment 6 is provided in the most convenient space in front of the water tank 3, and at the same time, sunlight, ventilation, etc. are provided by the glass door 5b. Furthermore, due to the double storage space,
Easily accommodates the storage of kitchen utensils that are increasing year by year.

Moreover, the reason why the bay window 5 which is larger than the width of the opening 4 is provided is as follows. That is, if the bay window 5 is provided with the same width as the width of the opening 4, the draining equipment 6 cannot be constructed in a large size, the amount of storage for kitchen utensils is limited, and the sunlight is blocked by the storage section 7.
The room becomes dark. However, by forming the bay window 5 larger than the width of the opening 4, the draining equipment 6 can be made larger, and there is no concern that the sunlight will be blocked by the storage section 7.

Furthermore, since the draining equipment 6 protrudes outside the room and is installed in the storage section 7 made of a transparent material, its utilization space can be expanded, and the kitchen placed on and suspended from the draining equipment 6 can be Tools can be efficiently dried using natural light from outside. The reason why the area facing the storage section 7 is made of frosted glass 5c is to prevent the draining equipment 6 from being seen from outside when it is stored.

In the above embodiment, the draining equipment 6 was provided only on one side of the bay window 5, but as shown in FIG. It may be provided on both sides and the draining equipment 6' can be freely pulled out as shown by the arrow, or alternatively, as shown in FIG. ,
This draining equipment 6'' may be freely drawn out as shown by the arrow, and is not limited to this embodiment.

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to store kitchen tools that are commonly used on a daily basis in a convenient and aesthetically pleasing position from around the top plate where they are easily seen, thereby maintaining the aesthetics of the kitchen equipment and the atmosphere of the living room. In addition, on the outdoor side of the wall opening, a box-shaped exterior body with a front opening larger than the width of the wall opening is installed to protrude outdoors, and a storage section is formed between the rear of the wall and the exterior body. Therefore, the width of the opening in the wall can be reduced, which increases the rigidity of the house and reduces the work required to open the wall.Furthermore, since the front of the storage area is the wall of the house, it is rigid and can be hung on this wall. A cupboard or the like can be installed and the amount of storage can be expanded accordingly.
