Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to corner kitchen furniture such as a system kitchen arranged in a substantially L-shape.

<Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention> Fig. 6 shows a conventional example of kitchen furniture such as a system kitchen arranged in a substantially L-shape, with base furniture A placed on the floor. and wall furniture B, which is fixed to the wall near the ceiling. Corner furniture a in this base furniture A
Although the upper surface of the can be used as a counter, it is practically impossible to use the lower space as a storage space because it is difficult to put in and take out goods, so it is a dead space. A similar problem occurs with wall furniture B as well.

In view of this problem, as shown in FIG. 7, it has been proposed that one corner of the front side is cut out to form a corner furniture b with a pentagonal cross section, and a door c is attached to the cutout surface so as to be openable and closable. According to this corner furniture b, its internal space can be used as an article storage space. However, in this case, if corner furniture b with a pentagonal cross section is placed without changing the counter width l of the furniture body, the diagonal length L of corner furniture b will become considerably long, as shown in Figure 8. . Although such corner furniture b has a large upper counter area and a larger lower storage space volume, it is too deep and inconvenient to use in actual use.

In kitchens arranged in an L-shape, etc., it has been proposed to connect base furniture and wall furniture at their corners with tall furniture, and use the inside of this tall furniture as a storage space (Tokuko Sho
62-19162). This tall furniture also has a pentagonal cross section, so the diagonal length is large as mentioned above, and since it extends to the height of the wall furniture, it is necessary to use a step stool etc. when putting in and taking out items stored in high places. However, it was not necessarily easy to use.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the dead space in the corners of kitchen furniture arranged in a bent state such as L-shape, so that it can be used as a storage section, and it is possible to easily put in and take out stored items from the storage section, making it easier to use. The purpose is to provide an excellent new structure of kitchen furniture.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention, which was created to achieve the above object, is a system kitchen that is bent in an L-shape, etc., and has a height that extends from the corner of the base furniture to the corner of the wall furniture. The corner kitchen furniture has a box formed in the corner of the box, and an opening is formed on one side of the box in the middle part of the box that appears between the base furniture and the wall furniture. The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of shelves that can be rotated while vertically moving up and down are arranged inside, and articles are taken in and out of the shelves through the openings.

<Function> Since a plurality of shelves are rotated while vertically moving up and down within the box, by moving a desired shelf to a position that matches the opening, the shelf can be moved through the opening. Items can be easily put in and taken out.

<Example> Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a system kitchen arranged in an L-shape, and this system kitchen is connected to base furniture A as already described in relation to the prior art.
and wall furniture B.

A corner kitchen furniture 1 according to the present invention is placed in a corner of the system kitchen.

This corner kitchen furniture 1 has a box structure as shown in FIG. An intermediate portion formed between the lower and upper portions and appearing between the base furniture A and the wall furniture B when this corner kitchen furniture 1 is placed in the corner as an element constituting the system kitchen. 1c are integrally formed. One side of the intermediate portion 1c is an opening surface, which allows articles stored in the corner kitchen furniture 1, which is a box, to be taken in and taken out. A door made of glass, wood, etc. is attached to this opening surface so as to be openable and closable, and the opening surface is closed when the stored items are not being taken out or put in to prevent dust from entering the furniture body.

The internal structure of the corner kitchen furniture 1 is as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and is configured so that the suspended shelf 4 can be moved up and down in the vertical direction and circulated. That is, two front and rear shafts 6, 6 and 7, 7 are supported horizontally in the upper and lower parts of the furniture body, and pulleys (or chain wheels) 8, 8 and 9, 9 rotate together with the shafts. On the other hand, an endless belt 3 such as a chain, belt, wire rope, etc. is suspended. Shelves 4 are supported on the endless strip 3 at regular intervals, and the endless strip 3 is driven around by a shaft 7 driven by a motor 5 that can rotate in both forward and reverse directions, and the shelves 4 are raised and lowered in the vertical direction. It circulates while moving. A control switch (not shown) for the motor 5 is placed at a suitable position on the outer surface of the furniture 1 body or at a suitable position on the wall. The shelf 4 may be of any type, such as a box or a net shelf, and it is preferable to use several types of shelves, replacing them as appropriate, depending on the stored items.

In the above configuration, storing an article in the furniture 1 can be easily done by first opening the door 2 and placing and storing the article on the shelf 4 exposed on the opening surface. If the shelf appearing on the opening surface is undesirable for storing the item in question or there is no empty space, operate the control switch to turn the motor on until the desired shelf appears. 5 is rotated. The process is almost the same when trying to take out a stored item; after opening the door 2, the motor 5 is rotated as necessary to make the shelf 4 containing the item to be taken out appear on the opening surface. That's fine. Therefore, the lower part 1a and the upper part 1c of the furniture 1 are hidden in the corners of the base furniture A and the wall furniture B of the system kitchen,
These parts can also be effectively used as storage space, eliminating dead space.
Since the user can put in and take out items in the storage space through the openings that are placed at appropriate locations, it is extremely convenient to use.

Each shelf 4 is given a number or code in advance,
The control switch can also be configured so that by pressing a switch with a corresponding number or code, the shelf body is rotated, the shelf body is detected by a sensor, the shelf body appears on the opening surface, and is stopped at that position. As such sensors and control means, known ones can be used, and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted.

A hot air generator 10 (FIG. 3) can be installed in the corner kitchen furniture 1 if necessary. This allows the furniture to be used as a dryer for dishes, towels, etc. Furthermore, if a cooling device is provided in place of the hot air generator, it can be used as a refrigerator or freezer for foods, etc.

FIG. 5 shows a system kitchen incorporating corner kitchen furniture according to another embodiment of the present invention. This corner kitchen furniture 11 has basically the same configuration and structure as the one according to the previous embodiment, but
The door for the opening is an L-shaped door 12. This provides a large opening when the L-shaped door 12 is opened, making it easier to take in and take out stored items.

<Effects of the invention> Since the corner kitchen furniture according to the invention ranges from the base furniture to the wall furniture in the system kitchen, that is, it is tall furniture from the floor to almost the ceiling, its internal storage space is extremely large. Dead space can be used effectively. Furthermore, articles stored in the storage space can be taken in and taken out through an opening located at an intermediate height in the system kitchen, making it extremely easy to take them in and out. That is, according to the present invention, it is easy to use as kitchen furniture installed in a corner of a system kitchen bent in an L-shape, etc., and has great practical effects.
