Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen device having a series of kitchen equipment such as a sink, a stove, and a storage cabinet.

Modern kitchen equipment is often placed inside living rooms called LDKs, so the various equipment that makes up the equipment, such as a top plate with a sink, stove, etc.
Storage cabinets such as mizuya and ceiling bags have a high aesthetic sense and do not interfere with the atmosphere of the living room. However, even if the kitchen equipment is designed with consideration given to the design as described above, the user will not be able to handle the kitchen utensils such as tableware, cutting boards, dish towels, etc.
If tableware and other items are placed cluttered within the kitchen equipment, the aesthetic appearance will be greatly affected. Therefore, kitchen utensils and tableware are generally put away in a designated storage space such as a mizuya or a canopy. Kitchen utensils and tableware that are used daily, such as pot lids, dish towels, shiyamoji, detergent, etc.
Scrubbers, everyday items, etc., are often left exposed on hangers, shelves, etc. around the table top.Such scenes are often seen in ordinary household kitchens, and if they are left exposed, Even if the kitchen utensils and other items placed there are tidy, they are not very pleasant and will disrupt the atmosphere of the living room.

The reason for this is that in conventional kitchen devices, the top plate portion including the sink, etc., and the storage cabinet, such as the top bag and water closet, are not related in terms of use. That is,
The top plate is not connected to the storage cabinet so that kitchen utensils can be easily taken in and out of the top plate, which is the main part of the kitchen for cooking, washing, etc. For this reason, kitchen utensils and other items used on a daily basis are placed exposed around the top plate, where they can be easily accessed.

In view of these problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to prevent kitchen tools used on a daily basis from obstructing the aesthetic appearance of kitchen equipment and disturbing the atmosphere of the living room. It is based on a new idea that has never existed in the past, ie, wiping out the entire system, and an example thereof will be described below.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a relatively long top plate with kitchen equipment such as a sink 2 and a stove 3, 4 is a top bag provided above the top plate 1, and 5 is a ceiling between the sink 2 and the stove 3. The housing is placed at the eye level part above the board 1, that is, at the 6th level of the wall between the top board 1 and the top bag 4, and on both sides facing the sink 2 and stove 3,
An opening 9 is formed which is opened and closed by doors 7 and 8. Reference numeral 10 is a rack provided in the housing 5 so as to be freely put in and taken out, and has a draining shelf 16 on which hangers 13 such as a dish towel 11 and a shiyamoji 12, a pot 14, a scrubbing brush 15, etc. are placed, and a caster 17 is provided at the bottom. It is designed so that it can be freely pulled out to the upper eye level part of the top plate 1 on the side of the sink 2 and stove 3. Reference numeral 18 denotes handles provided on the surfaces of the doors 7 and 8.

With the above configuration, when performing kitchen work such as cooking on the stove 3, open the door 8 on the side facing the stove 3, and insert the rack 10 from inside the housing 5 through the opening 9 above the top plate 1 on the stove 3 side. Move it to the eye level area. When performing kitchen work such as washing with water in the sink 2 portion, the door 7 on the side facing the sink 2 is opened and the rack 10 is moved to the eye level portion above the top plate 1 on the sink 2 side. The rack 10 is moved by its casters 17 sliding on the top plate 1. After completing kitchen work such as boiling, cooking, washing, etc., store towels, shiyamoji, etc. in the rack 10, move the rack 10 into the housing 5, and then close the opening 9 with the doors 7 and 8. put.

As mentioned above, the rack 10 can be moved to the eye-level part above the top plate 1 on the sink 2 or stove 3 side, so when working in the kitchen, you can put in and take out towels, towels, etc. from the sink 2 or stove 3 side. It can be done easily without bending down while sitting in the room. Also, if you store the rack 10 in the housing 5 after finishing the kitchen work,
Since kitchen utensils such as dish towels and rice cookers are not exposed around the top plate 1, it is possible to prevent the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen equipment from being disturbed. Furthermore, the housing 5 and the rack 10 are the top plate 1 between the sink 2 and the stove 3.
Since the rack 10 is provided above, the rack 10 can be positioned at eye level above the top plate 1 on the sink 2 or stove 3 side with a reduced amount of movement.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which a sink 2 and a stove 3 are arranged in an L-shape, a housing 5 is provided in the corner between them, and a rack 10 is positioned on the sink 2 side or the stove 3 side. I try to let them do it. In this example as well, the same effects as described above can be obtained. Note that the same parts as in the previous embodiment are described using the same reference numerals.

In the embodiment described above, the rack 10 is slid on the top plate 1 by casters 17, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. A rack 10 may be attached to this. Further, in the above embodiment, the doors 7 and 8 are connected to the housing 5.
Doors 7 and 8 are easily installed.
It can also be installed on the side. Furthermore, if a drying function such as a fan or a heater is installed in the casing 5, the stored items can be dried while being stored in the casing 5, further increasing the functionality.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is easy to take in and out kitchen tools etc. during kitchen work,
In addition, the rack can be placed on the sink side or stove side with a small amount of movement, so
The user can clean up kitchen utensils and the like without any resistance, and thereby the kitchen utensils, tableware, etc. that are used daily can be swept away from around the top plate, and the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen equipment can be maintained.
