Definitions
- the present invention relates to a kitchen module, in particular for installation in a fitted kitchen, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- fitted kitchens can be composed of various kitchen modules, each of which may include cabinet elements such as upper and lower cabinets or tall cabinets, and moreover may be provided for the installation of electrical appliances.
- the kitchen modules should also provide as much storage space for supplies and equipment.
- the kitchen module comprises two cabinet elements, namely a first, to be arranged on a room wall cabinet element and another, free-standing cabinet element. Between the two cabinet elements remains a passage. The two cabinet elements are connected by a box-shaped bridge element that spans the passage.
- This bridge element can be hung, for example, on the ceiling and includes its own body that provides storage space for kitchen utensils.
- the clear height below the bridge element is dimensioned so that a person can comfortably stay underneath.
- the passageway remains accessible from both sides, but is shielded by the freestanding cabinet element and thus can not be viewed from any position in the room.
- the free-standing cabinet element thus offers a certain privacy, but does not affect the open design of the kitchen module. This allows for an open kitchen concept, which at the same time offers a partially protected working space.
- the bridge element can be integrally formed with the first and / or the second cabinet element.
- the bottom of the bridge element forms a roof surface of the passage, which may be provided with lighting fixtures.
- the electrical connections of this lighting can be conveniently laid through the body of the bridge element.
- the bridge element according to the invention thus provides a simple solution.
- the bridge element is provided for attachment to a ceiling.
- the bridge element is provided with lateral storage compartments. These storage compartments may be open or provided with cabinet doors that allow the storage space to be locked.
- the bridge element is provided with lighting devices.
- These lighting devices may be in the bottom of the bridge element, d. H. be arranged in the ceiling of the passage and be supplied via cables, which are laid within the bridge element to an electrical connection.
- the second cabinet element is designed as a tall cabinet whose interior is accessible both from the passage and from the opposite side of the cabinet.
- the kitchen module further comprises at least one electrical device which is installed in the second cabinet element, and electrical connection cables for connection of the electrical appliance, which are guided by the bridge element.
- the first cabinet element is designed as a top cabinet.
- the kitchen module further comprises a walk-in box-shaped bottom element which extends in the passage between the lower parts of the cabinet elements.
- This floor element is raised above the floor of the room, so that it must be overcome to enter the passage a step.
- the floor element can be used as an additional design element of the kitchen module, but also assume similar functions as the bridge element. For example, electrical lines can also be laid through the floor element, or storage space can be provided in the floor element.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of an embodiment of the kitchen module according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a side perspective view of the kitchen module
- the kitchen module 10 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a top cabinet 12 as the first cabinet element and a tall cabinet 14 as a second cabinet element.
- the upper cabinet 12 is suspended on a kitchen wall 16 in the usual way.
- the tall unit 14 is arranged in front of the upper cabinet 12 free standing on the kitchen floor 18. Between the upper cabinet 12 and the tall cabinet 14 remains a free space 20 as a passage.
- the upper cabinet 12 is suspended at such a height that its upper surface 22 terminates with the upper surface 24 of the upper cabinet 14.
- a bridge element 26 is arranged, which connects the upper parts of the cabinet elements 12, 14 and spans the passage 20.
- the bridge member 26 rests on the tops 22, 24 of the cabinet members 12, 14 and extends from the kitchen wall 16 to the opposite outer edge of the cabinet 14.
- the bridge member 26 thus limits the height of the passageway 20, but to an extent that is a person can easily stay free standing in the passage 20.
- the top 28 of the bridge member 26 is spaced from the ceiling. Deviating from the embodiment shown here, however, the bridge element 26 can readily be attached directly to the ceiling.
- the opening of the cabinet doors of the upper cabinet 12 and the upper cabinet 14 is not hindered by the bridge element 26, so that all cabinet areas remain freely accessible.
- the bridge element 26 is approximately box-shaped and comprises a separate furniture body, which is provided with laterally accessible storage compartments for kitchen utensils or the like. In this way, the bridge element 26 provides additional storage space in the kitchen.
- the body of the bridge element 26 can also be connected to the cabinet elements 12, 14 in a different way than shown here. For example, it is possible that the lateral cheeks of the cabinet elements 12, 14 extend to the upper edge 28 of the bridge element and a central part the bridge element 26 is formed above the passage 20 by a further cheek element. In the assembled state, the two cabinet elements 12, 14 form a unit with the bridge element 26.
- the bridge element 26 which forms the ceiling of the passage 20, lighting fixtures 32 (see FIG. 2) are inserted, which serve to illuminate the passage 20. Electrical connection cables for the power supply of the lighting devices 32 are guided by the bridge element 26 to the kitchen wall 16, where a corresponding power supply is present.
- the bridge element 26 thus facilitates the concealed cable guide for lighting devices, which may optionally be arranged in the upper cabinet 12 or in the tall cabinet 16. Further, the tall cabinet 14 may be adapted to receive an electrical built-in device such as a refrigerator, an electric range, or the like. Also for such devices, the electrical connection cable can be performed within the bridge member 26 via the passage 20 to the kitchen wall 16.
- the bridge element 26 thus offers a possibility to facilitate the cable routing to electrical appliances, which are arranged in free-standing cabinet elements, which otherwise have no direct connection to the room wall, in which the electrical connections are usually present.
- a lower cabinet 34 can be arranged, whose position is indicated schematically in Fig. 1. Between such a base cabinet 34 and the tall cabinet 14, a box-shaped bottom element 36 may extend, the upper side 38 of which is raised relative to the floor 18. To enter the passage 20 thus a step must be overcome.
- the box-shaped bottom member 36 may be constructed similar to the bridge member 26, d. H. have their own furniture body, which adjoins the lower parts of the upper cabinet 14 and, if appropriate, the lower cabinet 34. Electrical connection cables for the power supply of lighting devices or built-in appliances in the tall cabinet 14 can also be routed through the base element 36.
- the first, attached to the kitchen wall 16 cabinet element may be formed as a tall cabinet extending from the kitchen floor 18 to the bottom of the bridge ckenelements 26 extends.
- the tall cabinet 14 may further be accessible both from the passage 20 and from the opposite free side and thus have cabinet doors on two opposite sides.
- a region is created within the passage 20, which is not arbitrarily visible from the rest of the kitchen space, since the tall cabinet 14 offers a certain privacy.
- the passageway 20 is open on both sides, an open kitchen design remains to some extent.
- the bridge element 26 also offers additional storage space, but without claiming additional parking space in the kitchen.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the above-described kitchen module 10, in which the floor 18, the kitchen wall 16 and any lower cabinet 34 below the upper cabinet 12 are not shown.
