Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a kitchen island. Kitchen islands are increasingly popular in modern livings. Such kitchen islands stand in the kitchen room at a distance from the walls and usually do not provide the possibility of using upper cabinets. Therefore, storage space is limited with such kitchen islands.
- The object of the invention is to provide a kitchen island making efficient use of space for storage without compromising the open nature of the kitchen island.
- The object of the invention is achieved with a kitchen island comprising a working surface, a cupboard above the working surface and a guide allowing horizontal movement of the cupboard over at least a part of the working surface, e.g., in a horizontal direction parallel to a front side of the kitchen island.
- This way a kitchen island is obtained with substantially more storage space without visually dividing the open kitchen space.
- The working surface may typically comprise a cooking range and/or one or more sinks. Below the working surface the kitchen island may be provided with kitchen cabinets and/or kitchen appliances such a refrigerator, a dishwasher, an oven and/or a microwave.
- Optionally, the cupboard may be provided with a sidewall extending along a part of one of the sides of the kitchen island. For instance, the cupboard may have two parallel sidewalls extending along opposite sides of the kitchen island, such as a front side and a back side of the kitchen island. Between the sidewalls, the cupboard may for example comprise shelves, cabinets or trays for storage.
- Optionally, the sidewalls of the cupboard may comprise wheels or rollers resting on the floor. Alternatively, the cupboard may be carried by the kitchen island and float relative to the floor.
- The guide may for example comprise guiding wheels received in corresponding guiding profiles. The guiding wheels may for example be attached to brackets, e.g., attached to an inner side of the sidewalls of the cupboard at a level below the working surface. In this respect, the inner side of the side wall is the side directed to the working surface. The profiles can be hidden from view by vertically extending cover boards. In that case, the brackets can be designed to grip around the lower side of the respective cover board to allow engagement of the guiding wheel with the corresponding guiding profile. Additionally, the brackets can be provided with one or more horizontal guiding wheels on a bottom section of the bracket engaging an inner wall of the cover board. The guiding wheels of the bracket guide horizontal movement of the cupboard in one direction, while preventing movement in any other horizontal direction.
- In a specific exemplary embodiment a frame, for instance serving as a light fixture, may be provided for attachment to the ceiling directly above the kitchen island at a distance above the working surface, having a width corresponding to the width of the working surface. The opposite sidewalls of the cupboard may extend to a level above the lower side of the frame to visually enclose the frame sides.
- Optionally, the cupboard may be provided with a display in a front side of one of its side walls, such as the display of a tablet computer, a flat screen television or a screen, such as a touch screen, providing a user interface for one or more of the kitchen appliances in the kitchen island.
- The kitchen island may for example be provided with a brake system, to limit movement of the cupboard over the working surface. Such a brake system may for example be a soft closing system, typically used for drawers or sliding doors.
