Description

The invention relates to a kitchen module for a fitted kitchen, in particular a caravan or motorhome.

Functional spaces such as kitchens or kitchenettes of motorhomes, caravans but also of aircraft, ships and hotels have a very limited space available for the required installations to perform the function, usually a cooktop or at least one or two hotplates installed.

The state of the art of the majority of solutions consists of a fitted with parts of the vehicle, aircraft, ship or building as their outer walls built-in kitchen, in which the cooking facility is installed.

In campers and caravans herd and tables are currently installed separately. Kitchen islands already exist in other fields of application. The solution presented here allows a combination of stove with sliding cover, which can be used as a countertop and a table that can be used for example for the preparation and preparation of food, but also as a dining table.

The prior art is, for example, a floor plan of a motorhome with a central kitchen, this is located instead of the transition to the table, the bench directly on the kitchen island in the middle of the room.

The further invention DE 202018003578 refers to a designed as a worktop and dining table top, which is clamped between the kitchen and backrest of the front seats of a camping bus, which is held at the kitchen only by the edge of the table and is held on the opposite side of the headrests with a loop system.

The further invention DE102013200372 A1 refers exclusively to a worktop with integrated hob, with only the type of installation of the hob, the space for kitchen work to be increased. When the stove is switched on, however, this area can not be used.

According to the solution presented here, a central kitchen in the form of a cooking island, for example, for a motorhome or a camping trailer presented with novel functionalities. The invention relates to a kitchenette and a freestanding kitchen island, this in turn characterized by a freestanding kitchen block. This consists of an actual block in the sense of a permanently installed with the floor furniture, in which the stove is integrated with it befindlicher approximately during driving or resting state firmly connected and possibly removable or sliding cover plate. The stove consists in turn of a hob or hobs in the upper part and optionally oven, microwave oven or other multifunction device in the lower part of the block. Attached to the kitchen block or integrated therein is an intermediate part as a transition and further a dining table. This consists of a tabletop and a support structure. The table top can be foldable, foldable, movable or removable as a whole and, if necessary, be equipped with a closure or folding system to ensure sufficient space and safety while driving, in particular for the purpose of an emergency exit.

The transition between stove and dining table on the intermediate part can take place at the same height level of the surface or in the form of an oblique connection surface to the table top, if the table top has a low height level than the top of the cooker.

In the intermediate part under the transition may possibly be a compartment that is suitable for storing objects. The compartment may be waterproofed for the purpose of storing and transporting liquids.

The cover of the top of the stove module of the freestanding kitchen unit can be used as a countertop, while the hobs or other hobs is not in use. It is slidable, so the stove is released and connects to the fixed kitchen unit by the cover plate inserted into a designated opening in the side or front of the kitchen and attached to the stove. For this purpose, a device can be installed in the fixed kitchen in the form of a flap, through which an opening is released into which a part of the movable worktop is inserted and thereby the plate is held and carried.

On the stove can also be mounted a hinged support structure in the form of a horizontal strut to the kitchen, which supports the cover plate.

In the position between stove and kitchen unit, the cover plate can in turn be used as a worktop.

The advantages are in the better usable space while maintaining the total work surface for cooking and preparing the food, even if the stove is used and therefore its cover is removed or moved. Now the room no longer needs escape routes for emergency exit be kept free and can be used functionally.

Thus, all required functions are available as needed, if they are needed.

A simultaneous use of stove and worktop is possible if this is positioned in the position between cooking island and kitchen unit.

The use of various stoves, hotplates, gas stoves, micro wave devices, induction plates and multifunction devices in the kitchen block is possible.

The advantage of the cooking island as well as the crazy cover plate of the cooker lies in the accessibility of the worktop.

The accessibility of the stove in the cooking island is also significantly improved, as it is now accessible from three sides instead of just one side.

The total area of the worktop remains preserved during cooking unlike worktop with integrated hob DE102013200372 A1 ,

The attachment by inserting into the slots provided and either locking on the stove or laying on the stove is more stable and requires no complicated suspensions as in DE202018003578U1 ,

The cooking island improves the usability of the interior, as the table integrated in the cooking island offers the possibility that there is enough space to sit down on three sides, because the kitchen unit no longer needs the same for the installation of the cooker required minimum depth of the stove or the oven or other built-in device, but can be kept much narrower.

The drawing shows an exemplary perspective view of the kitchen island in plan view, in which the crazy cover plate of the cooker has been moved to the position between cooking island and kitchenette where it is mounted in the receiving opening in the kitchen and on the side edge of the kitchen island. The arrows in the picture indicate, for example, the direction of movement and point in the direction of position as a cover plate of the stove, in which the hob or the hobs are covered by her.
