[0004] In addition, the hanging cabinets c generally have a relatively large protruding height h from the wall W. Therefore, when the hanging cabinets are provided at a low position, they have a strong sense of oppression. Kitchen work in the kitchen becomes very hard. for that reason,
Usually, the installation height tends to be limited, for example, the installation height is higher than the eye level (about 170 cm). However, when cooking, etc., since many types of seasonings and cooking utensils are frequently used, a wide storage space is required in a relatively low place for ease of use. It is difficult to form a space.

Therefore, the present invention is based on the principle that a hanging cabinet which pivotally supports a door body having a sub-housing portion on a main body of a cabinet having a main accommodating portion is provided next to each other with a space portion therebetween, and each main housing is opened by opening the door. A large continuous accommodation section in which the accommodation section and each sub-accommodation section are continuous in the lateral direction can be formed easily, so that articles can be conveniently taken in and out, and the usability can be improved, and when the door is opened, the hanging cabinet protrudes from the wall. Since the height is greatly reduced, it is possible to arrange the device in a low place without obstructing the kitchen work, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage device for a kitchen that can increase storage efficiency.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a storage apparatus comprising: a kitchen cabinet provided with hanging cabinets laterally adjacent to each other across a space;
The hanging cupboard includes a cupboard main body having a main storage section, and a door body pivotally supported at a side end facing the cupboard main body to cover the main storage section in an openable manner, and each door body is in an open state. By forming a sub-accommodating portion on the inner surface facing the indoor side by opening, the main accommodating portion and the sub-accommodating portions are continuously accommodated in the lateral direction by opening the door body. Forming a portion.

In the invention according to claim 2, the wall is an outer wall, and a window leading to the outside is formed in the space.

In the invention according to claim 3, the wall is a partition wall in the room, and an opening communicating with an adjacent room is formed in the space.

In the invention according to a fourth aspect, in the continuous accommodating portion, the front surfaces of the main accommodating portions and the sub accommodating portions are substantially continuous.

On both sides of the space 2,
Left and right hanging cabinets 3, 4 forming the storage device 1 are arranged. In this example, the hanging cabinets 3 and 4 are connected to the upper suspended cabinets 3U and 4U on the higher side higher than the line-of-sight height, and the lower cabinets 3U and 4U connected to the suspended cabinets 3U and 4U via the shelf plate 9, for example. The case where it is formed from the hanging cabinets 3L and 4L below the side is illustrated. The shelf 9 extends across the space 2 and the window 7 extends above the shelf 9 (or the height of the line of sight) to secure a large lighting area. I have.

Next, the upper hanging cabinets 3U, 4U have substantially the same configuration as the lower hanging cabinets 3L, 4L. Therefore, if required, the lower hanging cabinets 3L, 4L will be represented below. The structure will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lower hanging cupboards 3L and 4L are respectively provided with a cupboard body 10 having a main accommodating section 10A.
And a door body 11 pivotally supported so as to be able to open sideways at a side end P facing the cabinet main body 10 and covering the main housing portion 10A so as to be freely opened.

Each door 11 has its vertical pivot axis P1 located on the side of the cavity 2, so that the door 11 is in the open state Y1.
The sub-accommodating portion 11A is formed on the inner surface of the door body 11 that turns to the inside of the cavity portion 2 and faces the indoor side by this opening.

When the doors 11 are opened, the hanging cabinets 3L and 4L are moved to the main storage portions 10A and 10A.
And the sub-accommodating portions 11A, 11A form a continuous accommodating portion 12 that is continuous in the lateral direction. At this time, the continuous accommodating portion 12
It is preferable that the front surfaces of the main housing portions 10A and the sub-housing portions 11A be substantially flush with each other in order to form the image more clearly. Further, in order to stably maintain the open state Y1, as shown in this example, a connection fitting 13 such as a hook fitting or the like that removably connects the adjacent door bodies 11 is connected to one and / or the other door body. 11 is preferably provided.
