Concerning a laundry sink cabinet used for washing muddy vegetables.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, this type of laundry sink cabinet has a washer provided on the upper surface of the cabinet body, and the inner surface of the washer is exposed.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional laundry sink cabinet, dirty items are thrown into the water washer, which is unpleasant to see especially during soaking, and it is also difficult to wash with water. There is a problem in that the space cannot be used effectively when the vessel is not in use or when it is soaked for washing.

The present invention was developed in view of the conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to enable the top surface of the water washer to be opened and closed at will, and to enable the top surface to be used as a counter when the water washer is closed, and to also enable the top surface to be used as a counter when the water washer is closed. To provide a laundry sink cabinet in which dirty items can be thrown into a water washer.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the laundry sink cabinet of the present invention is provided with a water washer on the top surface of the cabinet main body, and has a planar U-shaped surface that surrounds the right and left sides and rear of the water washer. A blindfold board is installed upright, the upper open part of the blindfold board is covered with a cover plate so as to be openable and closable, and when the cover plate is closed, the cover plate is supported horizontally, and a front plate is raised and folded in front of the water washer. It is characterized by being able to be erected freely.

<Function> According to the above configuration, when the front plate is erected and the cover plate is closed, the front plate, the cover plate, and the blind plate cover the water washer to prevent the water washer from being exposed, and also to prevent the water washer from being exposed horizontally. The upper surface of the lid plate supported by the can be used as a counter. From this state, by folding down the front plate, the front of the washer is opened and dirty items can be thrown into the washer.Furthermore, by opening the lid plate, the top of the washer is opened and the washer can be used. Become.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 shows a case where the cover plate 3 is opened and closed by raising and lowering the cover plate 3 while keeping it horizontal with respect to the cabinet body A.

The cabinet body A has a counter surface _a1 on its upper surface, and a water washer 1 and a water spouting device 2 are arranged on this counter surface _a1 . Also, this counter surface A ₁
Side plates a ₂ , a ₂ are erected along the left and right side edges, and a back plate a ₃ is erected along the rear edge, and these side plates a ₂ , a ₂ .
The upper edge of the back plate a ₃ is located above the counter surface a ₁ , thereby forming a planar U-shaped blindfold plate A ₁ that surrounds the right, left, and rear sides of the water washer 1. Furthermore, a front plate 5 is provided upright along the front edge of the counter surface _a1 ,
This front plate 5 is fixed via a hinge 5a so that it can be raised or lowered freely, and when the water washer 1 is used, the front plate 5 can be rotated forward and folded down along the front surface of the cabinet body A. is now out of the way.

A cover plate 3 is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet body A via an elevating means 4.

The cover plate 3 has a size that covers the top open portion A ₁ ′ of the blind plate A ₁ , that is, the upper part of the counter surface a ₁ surrounded by the blind plate A ₁ , and has a size other than the front end of the top open portion A ₁ ′. The main plate part 3a covers the main plate part 3a, and the movable plate part 3b covers the front end part.The rear end surface of the movable plate part 3b is connected to the front end surface of the main plate part 3a via a hinge 3c , movable plate portion 3b
is installed so that it can stand upwards at a substantially right angle.

Further, a lifting means 4 is provided extending from the rear edge of the lower surface of the main plate portion 3a to the rear edge of the upper surface of the cabinet body A.

The lifting means 4 consists of a pair of left and right support rods 4a, 4a extending in the vertical direction, and a lock mechanism (not shown) provided on the support rods 4a, _4a. It is attached so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and is housed in the cabinet body A by sliding these support rods 4a, 4a downward.

The locking mechanism has a conventionally well-known structure, and for example, although not shown, locking recesses are formed at the lower ends of the support rods 4a, 4a, respectively, and protrusions that engage with the locking recesses are attached to the cabinet body A. By providing the support rods 4a, 4a so as to be able to protrude and retract through the elastic levers, when the support rods 4a, 4a are pulled upward, the protrusions engage and lock in the locking recesses, and the support rods are locked with a force greater than the elastic force acting on the protrusions. The support rods 4a, 4a are housed in the cabinet A by lowering them.

Therefore, such a laundry sink cabinet A can drain dirty items into the washer 1 by simply raising the movable plate portion 3b at the front end of the lid plate 3 or by folding down the front plate 5, without opening the lid plate 3. If the lid plate 3 is pulled upward by inserting the hand through the opening formed on the front end side of the cover plate 3, the support rods 4a, 4a of the elevating means 4 will slide upward and the locking mechanism will be activated at an appropriate height. Then, temporarily fix the lid body 3 (Fig. 1).

Further, if the cover plate 3 is pulled downward from this state, the lock is released and the support rods 4a, 4a slide downward and are housed in the cabinet body A, and the cover plate 3
to cover the upper surface of the water washer 1 (Fig. 2).

The one shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is another embodiment, in which the lid plate 3 is attached to the cabinet body A so as to be movable up and down, so that the washer 1 can be moved freely up and down.
This shows the case where the top side of the holder is opened and closed.

In the illustrated example, the cover plate 3 is divided into two parts in the front-rear direction near the rear end, and the rear plate part 3d is horizontally fixed to the upper edge of the back plate _a3 , and the front part is fixed to the front end surface of the rear plate part 3d. The rear end surface of the side plate part 3e is vertically movably connected via a hinge 3f, and when the front side plate part 3e is closed, its upper surface is supported horizontally flush with the rear side plate part 3d. ing.

It goes without saying that in this embodiment as well, the front plate 5 is fixed so that it can be raised and folded freely, and by simply folding down the front plate 5, it is possible to throw dirty items into the washer 1 without opening the cover plate 3. (see figure).

<Effects of the invention> Since the laundry sink cabinet of the invention is configured as explained above, it eliminates the problem of exposing dirty items inside the washer during soaking, etc., and improves the usability. In addition, ironing, household account bookkeeping, etc. can be done on the top surface of the lid plate, making effective use of the installation space.Furthermore, by providing the front plate that can be raised and folded, it can be used to cover the top surface of the washer or to use the top surface of the lid plate. Dirty items can be thrown into the washer while the items are still placed on the washing machine, and the above-mentioned effects can be further improved.
