Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen device with a storage cabinet for storing kitchen items.

Conventional Structures and Problems There has generally been an emphasis on the aesthetics of the various cabinets that make up kitchen equipment. This does not stop the kitchen room from being just a kitchen work area,
It depends on the intention to use it as a living room, dining room, etc.

Even though kitchen equipment has improved its aesthetic appearance in this way, if the various kitchen items used there, as well as the utensil cases and draining racks that house them, are left exposed, the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen equipment may be affected. Conventional kitchen equipment often exhibits the above-mentioned behavior, which results in spoiling the atmosphere and, in turn, spoiling the atmosphere of gathering.

In other words, the kitchen equipment includes various cabinets for storing various kitchen items, such as a base cabinet that supports the worktop, a dish cabinet (mizuya) placed next to it, and a hanging cabinet attached to the wall of the building above the worktop. Although they do exist, these cabinets generally store kitchen items that are not used frequently on a daily basis, but kitchen items that are frequently used on a daily basis, such as tableware used for each meal and used for meal preparation and cleanup. Pots, boards, and kitchen detergent that are used are often left in tableware cases, draining racks, etc. set up around the sink.

The reason for this is that conventional kitchen equipment does not rationally associate the sink area, which is the center of kitchen work, with the cabinets that house various kitchen items. Another problem is that there are no storage cabinets in which kitchen items that are frequently used on a daily basis can be stored together. In other words, in conventional kitchen equipment, in order to store kitchen items that have been washed in the sink area into a storage cabinet, the washed kitchen items must be placed in a dish case, draining rack, etc., and then either wiped there or left for a certain period of time. After setting aside to drain and dry, place the dishes in the cupboard.
Pots are in the cabinet, cutting boards are in the base cabinet,
As mentioned above, it has become impossible to do this without having to go to great lengths to transport kitchen items to various storage cabinets. Therefore, due to the troubles mentioned above, unless you are a very methodical person, you do not put away frequently used kitchen items in a storage cabinet each time you use them, and ordinary people do not put them away in the storage cabinet every time they are used. They end up leaving them in tableware cases, draining racks, etc.

In this way, with conventional kitchen equipment, the kitchen items that are frequently used on a daily basis tend to be placed in the tableware cases set around the sink, draining shelves, etc. , draining shelves, etc. spoiled the beauty of the garden.

Purpose of the Invention Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the aesthetic appearance and usability of kitchen equipment by arranging a storage cabinet that can rationally and collectively store kitchen items on the side of a worktop having a sink. It is.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention disposes a storage cabinet in an eye-level space on the side of a sink provided on a worktop, and the storage cabinet is opened by a door on at least the side wall facing the sink. In addition to forming an opening, rack bodies in two rows, front and rear, are provided in the storage cabinet, and these rack bodies are set to be movable and can be freely pulled out from inside the storage cabinet through the opening to at least an eye-level space near the sink. The rack has the structure of a kitchen device in which a sufficient distance is provided between the bottom of the rack and the worktop so that kitchen utensils can be placed between the rack and the worktop when the rack is pulled out.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a base cabinet that supports the worktop 2, 3 is a sink provided on the worktop 2, and 4 is a storage cabinet placed in the eye-level space S on the side of the sink 3. It is placed on a base 5 adjacent to. Reference numeral 6 denotes an opening formed in a side wall 4a of the storage cabinet 4 facing the sink 3 and a front wall 4b connected to the side wall 4a, and the side opening 6a and the front opening 6b are made continuous with each other. 7,
8 is a rack body installed inside the storage cabinet 4;
These are provided independently in two rows, front and rear. The rack bodies 7, 8 are movably supported on the rear wall of the storage cabinet 7 via rails 9.
Through the side opening 6a of the storage cabinet 4, it is drawn out from inside the storage cabinet 4 to an eye-level space S above the worktop 2 near the sink 3. The rack body 7 in the back row has a shelf configuration that can store dishes, pots, etc., and the rack body 8 in the front row mainly stores kitchen utensils 10 such as shiyamoji and ladles.
It has a line-cut configuration for suspending and supporting. The rack body 8 in the front row is set at a height such that a sufficient distance A is provided between its bottom and the worktop 2 so that pots, bottles, detergent, and other kitchen utensils can be placed therein.

Reference numerals 11 and 12 denote door devices for opening and closing the opening 6 of the storage cabinet 4, including a door 11 that opens and closes approximately half of the side opening 6a, and a door 12 that opens and closes the remainder of the side opening 6a and the opening 6b that is continuous thereto. The door 11 is fixed to the side surface of the rack body 7 (the end surface on the drawer side), and the door 12 is rotatably attached to the storage cabinet 4 via a hinge (not shown). There is.

13 is a drainage means provided at the bottom of the storage cabinet 4, and 14 is an accessory storage section provided inside the door 12.

As in the above structure, the rack bodies 7 and 8 are drawn out and set at least in the eye-level space S above the worktop 2 near the sink 3, so that when cleaning kitchen items in the sink 3 area,
The operator can sequentially store the washed kitchen items in the racks 7 and 8 while remaining at the sink 3 or by only slightly moving from said position. The kitchen items stored in the racks 7 and 8 are stored all at once into the storage cabinet 4 by simply moving the racks 7 and 8 into the storage cabinet 4, and then the opening 6 is opened by opening the door device 1.
1 and 12, the kitchen equipment can be kept in a clean state.

Furthermore, when the front rack 8 is pulled out, there is a sufficient gap A below it for kitchen tools to be placed, so the kitchen tools can be stored in the racks 7 and 8 while being washed in the water tank 3. Furthermore, even if kitchen utensils are placed on the worktop 2 on the track of the rack body 8, there is no need to remove them each time, which improves work efficiency.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the present invention provides the following effects.

(1) During the process of washing the kitchen articles in the sink part, the worker can sequentially store the washed kitchen articles in the rack body while remaining at the sink position or by moving slightly from the said position.

(2) The opening of the storage cabinet is equipped with a door to open and close it, so if you close the opening with the door after storing kitchen items in the rack,
It is possible to keep the kitchen equipment in a clean state.

(3) When the front row racks are pulled out, there is enough space below them for kitchen tools to be placed, so kitchen tools can be stored in the front and rear racks while being washed in the water tank. Even if kitchen utensils are placed on the worktop in the orbit of the body, there is no need to remove them each time, which improves work efficiency.
