Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a structure for concealing the recessed part of a cabinet that can be raised and lowered.

(Prior art) As a device of this kind, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-31146 discloses that a flexible member is provided on the upper part of a recess plate installed upright on the floor, and the recess is installed on the back side of the bottom plate of the cabinet. It is disclosed that a flexible member of the plate is provided with a space that can be curved in and out.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, the flexible member of the recess plate of the above-mentioned known technique is not easily connected to the cabinet due to the resistance when its tip comes into sliding contact with the back side of the bottom plate of the cabinet due to the vertical movement of the cabinet. In addition to impeding the smooth vertical movement of the cabinet, there are also problems such as creating gaps in the space that prevent reliable concealment, and flexible members protruding from the front of the cabinet and obstructing the user's feet. be.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, this invention is an attempt to solve this problem, and allows the cabinet to be raised and lowered smoothly.
A recessed part that can reliably hide the space formed between the cabinet and the floor, and also allows the user's feet to be safely secured without the cover for hiding the space bulging out in front of the cabinet. It is to obtain a blindfolded structure.

(Means for solving the problem) As a means for achieving this, this invention forms a space for installing a lifting mechanism between the lower surface of a cabinet that can be raised and lowered and the opposing floor surface, and A recess forming plate is attached to one surface, and one tip of a flexible space concealing cover is curved toward the front of the cabinet on the other surface, so that the curved portion always faces the rear of the cabinet. The cover is attached so as to be bent in the direction, and the other end of the cover is attached to the back surface of the plate.

(Example) An example of a specific configuration of this invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

The drawing shows an example in which a sink cabinet with a gas stove that can be raised and lowered is installed in a kitchen surrounded by walls on three sides.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a sink, which is composed of a main body part 2 and a top plate 8. The main body part 2 has a sink cabinet 3, a gas cabinet 4 to which a gas stove is attached, and a cooking cabinet 5 connected to each other. 5 is formed with a storage chamber 6 having an opening/closing door and the like. Further, an opening for attaching the top plate is formed in a part of the front surface of the sink cabinet 3, and the curtain plate 7 is attached after the top plate is attached.

The top plate 8 is placed on the main body 2, has a size that completely covers the top surface of the main body 2, and has a sink 9 that bulges out on the bottom surface.The rear edge and both side edges of the top plate 8 are Back guards 10 are erected so as to face walls A on three sides.

11 is a lifter, and a sink 1 is placed on the upper frame 12.
are placed and fixed, and the upper frame body 12 and the lower frame body 13
A connecting rod 14 operated by a hydraulic mechanism 15 and pivoted crosswise in an X shape is connected between the connecting rod 14 and
The upper frame 12 is moved up and down in a horizontal state by opening and closing operations, and the sink 1 is raised and lowered.

Reference numeral 16 is a back guard cover, and the projecting portion 1
7 and the hanging part 18, and the overhanging part 17 is connected to the wall surface A.
A back guard 10 is fixed so as to protrude more horizontally, has a hanging portion 18 hanging from the overhang portion 17, and is provided protruding from the top plate 8 of the sink 1 between it and the wall surface A.
A storage space 19 that can move up and down is formed by swallowing the storage space 19.

20 is an enclosure, which includes the sink 1 and both side walls A.
Front feelers 21 are attached to both side wall surfaces A and the ends of both sides of the overhang 17, respectively, and side feelers 22 are attached to the inner surfaces of the front feelers 21 facing each other.
is installed. The upper end of this side filler 22 is covered with a top filler 23, and a top plate swallowing opening through which the top plate 8 can move up and down is formed between the hanging part 18 above it and the upper feeler 24 attached to the front feeler 21 that covers this. A portion 25 is formed.

26 is a plate for forming a recessed portion, and both sides of the plate are attached to the side fillers 22 of the shrouding plate 20, and a space concealing cover 27 made of a flexible material such as rubber is attached to the back side of the plate 26. The vertical part 28a of the L-shaped fixing plate 28 is clamped and fixed so as to protrude upward, and the bottom part 28b of the fixing plate 28 is fixed to the floor surface B.
The plate body 26 is installed in an upright position. The upper end of the cover 27 forms a curved portion 27a facing the front surface of the cabinet 28, and the mounting bracket 2 is arranged so that the curved portion 27a always bends toward the rear surface of the cabinet 28.
9 is attached to the lower surface of the floor plate 2a of the main body part 2, and is positioned forward of the standing position of the plate body 26 to hide the space 30 for installing the elevating mechanism.

Note that the plate 26 and the cover 27 may be attached to the bottom 28b of the cabinet 28, and the tip of the cover 27 having the curved portion 27a may be attached to the floor B instead of the above embodiment.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a flexible drainage hose, which is connected between a drainage trap 32 attached to the sink 9 provided on the top plate 8 and a drainage pipe 33 attached to the floor B.

With this structure, the sink 1 can be raised or lowered according to the height of the user. Now, when the sink 1 is raised to the upper limit position shown in FIG.
Since a also moves upward, the flexible cover 27 fixed thereto is pulled up and stretched without bending.
Together with the lower plate 26, the space 30 between the main body 2 and the floor B is hidden.

In addition, the sink 1 can be moved with a lifter 1 as shown in Fig. 2.
1 to the lower limit position, the floor plate 2a of the main body 2 also moves downward, and the cover 27 fixed thereto bends as the main body 2 descends. However, this cover 27 has a curved portion 27a formed so that its upper end portion faces the front, and the floor plate 2a
Since the cover 27 is attached to the lower surface, a backward bending stress always acts on the cover 27, so that the cover 27 can bend backward and hide the space 30. As a result, the user's feet are not obstructed by the cover 27.

In this embodiment, three sides are formed as wall surfaces, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the case may be such that both side surfaces are absent or one side wall surface is absent.

Further, although this embodiment uses a sink, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be used for other cabinets that can be raised and lowered, such as a washstand.

(Effects of the invention) As described above in detail with respect to the embodiment, this invention fixes the upper and lower end surfaces of the space on the lower surface of the cabinet that moves up and down with the plate and the cover for concealing the space. The inside can be completely hidden. Further, the tip of the space concealing cover is curved toward the front of the cabinet,
Since the curved portion is always bent toward the rear of the cabinet and is attached to the front of the mounting position of the plate, the concealment cover is subject to bending stress as the cabinet moves up and down. As a result, it never bends toward the rear of the cabinet and protrudes toward the front, allowing users to fully secure their feet without hindering their movement when working in the kitchen. It can be raised and lowered smoothly. Moreover, since the concealment cover faces towards the rear,
This concealing cover, which is different from a cabinet door, has a small visible area and has various excellent effects such as being able to be formed with a beautiful appearance.
