2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a space 3 in a cabinet 2 of a sink 1 has a pot, a kettle,
The drawer 5 is used as a storage space for kitchen utensils such as kettles and cooking utensils such as soy sauce and oil, and a drawer 5 integrally formed with the front door 4 of the cabinet 2 for facilitating access to these various utensils. Often provided. Items stored in the drawer 5 are limited to those that can be stored in the storage space 3. Therefore, in the state where the drawer 5 is housed and the storage items are located below the trash container 7 and the drain pipe or the drain hose 8 of the sink 6, the trash container 7 and the drain pipe or the drain hose 8 It must be of a height that does not interfere. In FIG. 6B, a region surrounded by oblique lines is a region where it is necessary to avoid interference with the trash container 7, the drain pipe or the drain hose 8.

For this reason, conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C of FIG. 7, a height limiter 10 for stored items is mounted on the back plate 9 of the drawer 5. This height limiter 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a height restricting portion 11 extending in the horizontal direction from the upper edge 9a of the back plate 9 of the drawer 5, and a mounting portion 12 for mounting the height restricting portion 11 to the back plate 9. The rear vertical portion 13 of the mounting portion 12 rising upward from the rear side of the back plate 9.
And a peripheral frame 14 of the height limiter 11 extending in the horizontal direction from the upper edge 9a of the back plate 9 is formed of a continuous linear material (a wire, a bar, a light-weight steel or the like). In addition, peripheral frame 1
A shield plate 1 for preventing tall kitchen utensils or the like from being stored between the peripheral frames 14 between the peripheral frames 14.
5 is attached. Further, a vertical plate 16 is provided at a position closer to the near side (left side in FIG.
Are mounted and fixed to the peripheral frame 14.
The rear vertical portion 13 and the vertical plate 16 constitute the mounting portion 12. The mounting of the height restricting device 10 to the back plate 9 is performed by externally fitting the mounting portion 12 from the upper edge 9a side of the back plate 9 so that the front and rear surfaces of the back plate 9 are sandwiched by the rear vertical portion 13 and the vertical plate 16.
