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.

It is no exaggeration to say that the focus of modern living environment improvements is mainly on the kitchen. This is due to the tendency to improve the living environment by preparing the kitchen as a living room, rather than limiting it to a mere cooking area in Japan's cramped housing situation. Against this background, the state of kitchen equipment such as sinks becomes an important issue.

Most conventional kitchen equipment consists of a combination of a sink and a top bag, but pots and tableware that are used on a daily basis are placed on the sink or placed at eye level between the sink and the top bag. It was placed on a shelf and exposed to the outside. As mentioned above, if you consider the kitchen to be an important living space and want to use it as both a dining room and a living room, place dishes on the sink.
In particular, the reality of miscellaneous placement of devices in the eye-level space is a major obstacle to such a request.

This situation is caused by the fact that the top plate with the sink, etc., and the top bag, water holder, etc. are not related in terms of use. In other words, the top plate, which is the main body of kitchen work such as cooking and washing, is often separated from the top bag or water rack, so pots and tableware that are used daily are organized in the water rack or the like every time you clean up after a meal. The way they are used for storage does not match the reality.

The main purpose of the present invention is to prevent kitchen tools that are used on a daily basis from obstructing the aesthetic appearance of kitchen equipment and the atmosphere of the living room, and to remove kitchen tools that are used on a daily basis from around the top plate, which has never existed in the past. This is based on a new idea that has never existed before, and examples thereof will be described below.

In the figure, 1 is the kitchen cabinet, water tank 2
It is composed of a single sink equipped with a sink or other cooking tables arranged side by side as appropriate, and is equipped with a top plate 3. 4 is a storage cabinet installed in parallel with the kitchen cabinet 1, and the storage cabinet 5 is taller than the kitchen cabinet 1.
Inside, there is a draining shelf 6 which can be freely taken out and put in and out of the storage case 5 and on which kitchen utensils such as tableware, dish towels, detergent, scrubbing brushes, etc. that are regularly used are placed or hung; , and a draining shelf 7 on which relatively large pots and the like are placed. The storage casing 5 has an opening in the lower part of the side wall adjacent to the kitchen cabinet 1 and the entire front wall connected to this side wall, and the draining shelf 6 is installed so as to be freely drawn out from this opening into the space above the top plate 3 of the kitchen cabinet 1. A decorative plate 8 is provided at the side end of the draining shelf 6 to serve as a lid that covers the opening on the side of the storage case 5 when it is housed in the storage case 5. The draining shelf 6 has a draining plate 9, a hanger 10, a cutting board stand 11, a storage area 12 for detergent, scrubbing brushes, etc., and a storage container 13 for chopsticks, spoons, etc., on which washed kitchen utensils can be placed and suspended. and drain the water.

The upper draining shelf 7 in the storage case 5 is made up of a saucer 7a and a rack 7b for collecting water droplets to the rear, and is used to accommodate relatively large pots and the like for draining. Among the openings of the storage case 5, the opening on the entire front wall is provided with a door 15 having a dish towel hook 14 on the back side, and covers the side surface of the draining shelf 6 and the front surface of the storage space above the draining shelf 6 when the door is closed. For example, a rail is arranged in the storage case 5,
A roller guided by this rail is attached to the draining shelf 6 so that it can be freely drawn out. Furthermore, a water receiving plate 17 is disposed at the bottom of the storage case 5 to collect water dripping from kitchen utensils into a drain cup 16 all at once.

Of the draining shelves inside the storage case 5, only the draining shelf 6 below the eye level and above the height of the top plate can be taken in and out, as this part is very easy to work with. This is because it is difficult to work, and even if this part can be put in and taken out, it will not be very convenient to use, and we also wanted to minimize the weight.As a result, the draining shelf 6 can be put in and taken out smoothly, and its support part etc. are simplified. This is advantageous in terms of cost. Furthermore, the draining rack 6 can be moved in and out toward the top plate, but this is done to facilitate the loading and unloading of kitchen utensils, and also to allow the top plate 3 to catch water dripping from the draining shelf 6, thereby preventing at least the floor surface from getting dirty. This is due to consideration given to ensuring that this does not occur.

18 in the figure is a decorative board 3, a handle attached to the door 15,
19 is an exhaust window provided on the side wall of the storage case 5.

The draining shelf 6 may be a single unit as in the embodiment, but may be arranged in multiple rows in order to be used depending on the type of kitchen utensils and to improve operability.

As described above, according to the present invention, kitchen utensils can be put in and taken out by pulling out the draining shelf in the storage cabinet as appropriate, and when not in use, the draining shelf is housed inside the cabinet so that the kitchen utensils are not exposed and the kitchen space is saved. It is suitable for use as a living room and plays a major role in improving the product value of kitchen equipment. In addition, since the drainer shelf that can be freely drawn out is located below the eye level and above the height of the top plate, it is extremely easy to handle, and a configuration that satisfies the requirements for a kitchen device can be provided.
