Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively use a narrow space, by a method wherein both a mounting frame member which is held between a kitchen counter with a sink and a storing cabinet and holds the kitchen counter and acts as a rotating mechanism for rotary boards to be turned, and the rotary boards which are turned using the periphery of the mounting frame member as a pivotal shaft, are provided; and a-cooking board and an auxiliary board can be turned. CONSTITUTION:A sink 6 is provided on a kitchen counter 2; and rotary boards composed of a cooking board 3 and an auxiliary board 5, each of which is turned using a sink periphery 7 formed of a mounting frame member as an axial periphery, are also provided. On the cooking board 3, a cooking utensil 4, such as an electromagnetic cooker is incorporated and the cooking board is turned on a floor 1, using a supporting leg 9 with a caster 10 as a support. Under the cooking board 3, the auxiliary board 5 to be turned using the sink periphery 7 as the axial periphery is provided and is held between an upper part 17 on a storing cabinet 8 and the cooking board 3. A plurality of the auxiliary boards 5 may be provided in order to heighten the utility value thereof. In this way, a cooking worker can effectively use a narrow space because the cooking board 3 and the auxiliary board 5 can be turned mutually independent thereof.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to multi-functional kitchen equipment that allows convenient cooking and eating in a relatively narrow space such as a one-room apartment or office. in,
The kitchen is designed to be versatile by adding mechanisms suitable for its use to the original functions of the kitchen.

[Prior Art] Kitchen equipment often installed in studio apartments, offices, etc. has functional equipment as a kitchen, but its use is restricted because the overall space of the kitchen equipment is small.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the present invention aims to satisfy the functions of kitchen equipment that utilizes relatively small spaces such as one-room apartments and offices, while also solving the inconvenience caused by the small space. Instead, it makes it easier to use small spaces by allowing people to eat while cooking. In other words, the present invention improves the usability of a small kitchen by making the rotary plate freely rotatable so that it can be used as a cooking plate or an auxiliary plate, so that the use of kitchen equipment can be expanded as necessary.

[Means for solving the problem] A kitchen counter that is installed in a small room, includes a sink, and has at least one rotary plate that is rotatable around the sink, At least one of the rotary plates is equipped with a heating device for cooking, and is intended to improve convenience for kitchen users and widen the activity space as a cooking plate.

[Function] The cook can rotate at least one or more rotary plates according to his/her preference and expand his/her active area, making it easy to operate.
It can be used as a multipurpose kitchen. The cook can return all rotating plates to their original positions when not needed. The rotation of the rotary plate is convenient and safe because it can be freely fixed at a desired position by a mounting frame provided so as to be held between the top plate and the storage compartment.

[Example] Fig. 1 is an external view of a kitchen related to the present invention, in which figure a is a plan view and figure b is a front view. A sink 6 is arranged on the kitchen counter 2, and a washing fitting (not shown) is attached thereto. In this structure, the sink 6 may have a substantially elliptical shape as long as it can be effectively attached inside the sink outer periphery 7. There is a rotating plate that rotates around the sink outer periphery 7 that is made up of a mounting frame, and the rotating plate is connected to the cooking plate 3.
and an auxiliary plate 5. A heat cooking appliance 4 such as an electromagnetic cooker or a halogen lamp is built into the cooking board 3, for example. This is caster 10 on floor 1.
It rotates using the attached support legs 9 as support. The arrow m in the figure indicates this direction of rotation, and the restrained state is shown at 3a.

At the bottom of the cooking plate 3, there is an auxiliary plate 5 which similarly rotates around the sink outer periphery 7, and which connects the upper part 17 of the storage 8 and the cooking plate 3.
It is held in between and rotated as shown in 5a. In this figure, one auxiliary board 5 is shown, but a plurality of auxiliary boards 5 may be installed to increase the degree of utilization, or depending on the application, they may be removed to leave only the cooking board 3. In addition to being used as a storage, the storage 8 located below the sink 6 can be used to appropriately install kitchen equipment such as a garbage disposal machine.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a rotating plate rotating mechanism component, which has three or more rotating projection-like fitting inserts 12 forming a mounting frame on the top plate 14 of the upper part 17 of the storage 8. The hole for receiving the cylindrical roll-shaped object 11 is located at the sink outer periphery 7 of the cooking table 3.
It is arranged along the circumferential inner surface of the projection surface 16 of the circular opening 15 constituting the. Further, on the upper part of the roll-shaped object 11, there is an insertion upper body 13 which is inserted into an insertion portion formed at a corresponding position on the lower surface of the kitchen counter. Therefore, the top plate 1
After inserting the insertion lower body 12 of the roll-shaped object 11 into the hole of 4,
If the upper body 13 is inserted through the opening 15 of the cooking table 3 and then inserted into the insertion part on the lower surface of the kitchen counter, the storage compartment 8
, the cooking table 3 and the kitchen counter 2 are roll-shaped objects 1
1, and at the same time, the opening 15
Since the side surface of the roll-shaped object 11 slides on the circumferential surface of the cooking table 3, it is possible to freely rotate the cooking table 3.

Although the embodiment has been described with respect to the cooking table, if the auxiliary plate is also provided with an opening 15 of the same shape, it can be freely rotated in the same way as the cooking table 3.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of another embodiment, which has a rotation stopping mechanism. A stopper 20 is installed on the beam edge lateral portions 19 of the left and right beams 18 that join the kitchen counter 2. If you rotate the cooking plate 3 toward you, the opening 15 of the cooking plate 3 will open.
It is possible to rotate within a prescribed range until it is stopped by a stopper 22 of a groove 21 that is annularly dug concentrically with the user.

In the figure, the stoppers 20 are installed at the beam edge lateral portions 19 of the left and right beams 18, but they may be made to protrude from the storage 8 or the kitchen counter 2.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 3, in which the stopper 20 protrudes from the kitchen counter 2.

There is a sink 6 that is joined to the opening annular part 24 of the kitchen counter 2, and the circular sink outer flange surface 22 constituting the mounting frame protrudes downward and connects to the opening 1 of the cooking board 3.
5 is inserted through the top plate 14 of the sink upper part 17, and is engaged with and fixed in an opening 26 which is also opened in the top plate 14 of the sink upper part 17.

The stopper 20, which protrudes downward from the kitchen counter 2 and is fixed, urges the rotation of the cooking plate 3 along the groove 21 carved in an annular shape on the outer surface as the cooking plate 3 rotates. As shown in the figure, if a groove is provided in a range of 90 degrees, the cooking plate 3 can be rotated through 90 degrees and can be stopped reliably. Similarly, if a groove is provided in a range of 120°, the cooking plate 3 will rotate 120°.

A drainage member 23 is provided at the bottom of the sink 6, and the water is discharged to the outside through the upper part of the storage.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, with the present invention, the rotary plate can be freely rotated, and in this case, the cooking plate and the auxiliary plate can be rotated independently of each other, allowing the cooking worker to make effective use of a narrow space. be able to. Further, the rotation range can be freely controlled as necessary.
