Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] If the total width of the horizontal width of the work surface and the horizontal width of the water tank has a certain limit (frame) due to the installation position etc., it is easy to use both the water tank and the work surface. It should be large. [Configuration] The front portion of the right side wall 8 of the water tank 3 on the side of the work surface 6 is an inclined wall that narrows the lateral width of the water tank 3 from the rear toward the front. The left and right width of the front end portion of the work surface 6 is equal to or slightly longer than the left and right width of the board M.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen cabinet having a water tank such as a sink and a system kitchen.

[0002]

Disadvantages of the Prior Art A kitchen cabinet having a conventional water tank in which a work surface is formed on either the left or right side of the water tank has the following drawbacks. That is, when there is a certain limit (frame) on the total width of the work surface horizontal width and the water tank horizontal width due to the convenience of the installation position, etc., increasing the work surface horizontal width narrows the water tank horizontal width. However, if the horizontal width of the water tank is increased, the horizontal width of the work surface becomes narrower, and there is a disadvantage that either the water tank or the work surface becomes extremely inconvenient.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Disadvantages] The present invention employs the following means in order to eliminate the above disadvantages. The present invention
At least the front portion of the side wall of the water tank on the work surface side is formed as an inclined wall that narrows the lateral width of the water tank from the rear toward the front.

[0004]

The present invention has the following functions. Since the front side of the work surface (the front side that is often used) is wide, it is easy to carry out cooking work, etc. Also, since the left and right width of the rear part of the water tank can be made long, the water tank can be used as it is.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on two embodiments with reference to the drawings. In these examples, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals.

Embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) In this Embodiment 1, the front means the lower side of FIG. 1, the rear means the upper side of FIG. 1, the left means the left side of FIG. 1, and the right side. Indicates the right side of the figure.

The kitchen cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body, a top plate 2 made of metal or the like covering the upper surface of the cabinet body, and a water tank 3 made of metal or the like attached to the opening of the top plate 2.
And have. The top plate 2 has a back guard 5, a work surface 6 on the right side, and the like. On the working surface 6, draining grooves 7 having different lengths, which are inclined downward toward the water tank 3 with the longitudinal direction oriented in the left-right direction, are alternately formed at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction.

The front portion of the right side wall 8 of the water tank 3 on the side of the work surface 6 is an inclined wall that narrows the width of the water tank 3 from rear to front. The left and right width of the front end portion of the work surface 6 is equal to or slightly longer than the left and right width of the board M.

A drainage port 9 closed by an elastic plate 10 having a known radial cut is formed near the inclined wall 8 at the rear of the bottom wall of the water tank 3.

Embodiment 2 (see FIG. 3) In this Embodiment 2, the front means the lower side of FIG. 3, the rear means the upper side of FIG. 3, the left means the left side of FIG. 3, and the right means the same figure. Right side. The entire side wall 8 of the water tank 3 on the side of the work surface 6 is an inclined wall that narrows the lateral width of the water tank 3 from the rear toward the front. The front left and right width of the work surface 6 is equal to or slightly longer than the left and right width of the floor board M. The work surface 6 is divided into two parts, a front part and a rear part.
In the rear part, draining grooves 7 are formed at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction, which are inclined downward toward the water tank 3 with the longitudinal direction oriented in the left-right direction. The formation interval of the rear drainage grooves 7 is narrower than the formation interval of the front drainage grooves 7.

[0011]

[Modifications, etc.] Modifications will be described below. (1) The work surfaces 6 may be on the left and right. In that case, the side wall 8 of the water tank 3 on at least one work surface 6 side may be an inclined wall that narrows the left-right width of the water tank 3 from the rear to the front. (2) At least one of the left and right sides of the kitchen cabinet 1 is integrally provided with a kitchen cabinet having a heating appliance (for example, a gas stand, an electric stove stand, etc.), or a separate kitchen cabinet having a heating appliance. May be installed. (3) The angle θ formed by the inclined wall that narrows the lateral width of the water tank 3 from the rear to the front and the side wall on the front side of the water tank 3 (see FIG. 1).
And FIG. 3) is preferably about 110 to 130 degrees, but other angles may be used.

[0012]

The present invention has the following effects due to the above-described structure. According to the invention of claim 1, since the front side surface of the work surface (the front side surface that is often used) is wide, it is easy to carry out cooking work, etc. Further, since the lateral width of the rear part of the water tank can be made long, The aquarium is also easy to use. According to the invention of claim 2, since the drainage port is formed near the inclined wall side of the bottom part of the bottom of the water tank, that is, the drainage port is less likely to be blocked by a washing tub or the like, and drainage is smoothly discharged. You can do it. Also, if a drain is formed on the opposite side of the inclined wall at the rear of the bottom wall of the tank, in order to prevent the drain from blocking the drain, the drain should be allowed to escape and the drain should be removed. As the result is that the washing tub is forced to move to the side of the inclined wall, and as a result, the washing tub is pushed backwards, it is difficult to perform the washing work. Although it may be difficult for the wash trough to hit the inclined wall so as not to block the drainage port by the wash trough, the invention according to claim 2 does not have such a drawback.
