DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen rack that effectively uses a cooking space in a kitchen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cooking in a kitchen, a seasoning is mixed with a cooking material on a countertop to add a seasoning to the ingredients, or a seasoning is put in a pot when cooking with a gas stove. Or put in. It is generally desired that the container containing the seasoning used in such a manner be placed in a position easily accessible during cooking.

[0003] In addition, cooking is often performed using a plurality of pots, and a pot set on a gas stove may be temporarily retreated from the gas stove and another pot set on a gas stove. In this case, the pot temporarily removed from the fire of the gas stove is often placed on a pot placed on the counter to prevent the counter from being damaged by heat.

[0004]

However, the cooking stove near the top of the gas stove or around the gas stove is often heated by the fire of the gas stove, and seasonings and the like are located near the gas stove (in a familiar position). When a resin container is placed, the container may be deformed by the heat of the gas stove. Therefore, such a container is often placed away from a fire source such as a countertop. As a result, when trying to put the seasoning into a pot put on a gas stove, the broth or the like may be blown out while taking out the container placed on a cooking table or the like, which may hinder the progress of cooking.

[0005] Further, even if it is necessary to temporarily retreat a pot that has been set on a gas stove and then set it on a gas stove again, a grill outlet is provided on the upper surface of the gas stove, or a cooking stove is provided. In many cases, a step is formed between the gas stove and the stove, so that the pot to be boiled must be placed in a remote place such as a worktop. In addition, when cooking in a plurality of large pots, there is a case where a space for placing these pots cannot be secured.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to effectively use the space such as the upper surface of a gas stove that is not used for cooking during cooking and the cooking stove near the gas stove whose temperature rises due to the fire of the gas stove. It is another object of the present invention to provide a kitchen rack in which a container or a pot containing a seasoning can be placed or taken without leaving a gas stove.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems,
In the kitchen rack according to the present invention, two or more legs 1 in each of which a gap 5 having an opening 4 is formed at an upper part, and a part of the leg 1 in the gap 5 is provided. The table 2 which is inserted and raised, and the table 2 which is inserted and raised in the gap portion 5 is pulled up,
The table 2 is tilted on the leg 1 so that articles can be placed on the table 2.

In the kitchen rack having the above structure, since two or more legs 1 are separately provided, they can be arranged at any intervals within a range corresponding to the size of the table 1. Thus, the legs 1 can be arranged at intervals according to the mounting surface on which the legs 1 are mounted. Therefore, it is possible to effectively use the area above the exhaust port of the grill arranged on the upper surface of the gas stove where the articles could not be placed. Specifically, two or more legs 1 are arranged so as to sandwich the exhaust port, and a table 2 attached to the legs 1
By tilting the pan on the leg 1, a pot or a container for seasonings can be placed on the table 2, and the space can be effectively used even on the exhaust port of the grill of the gas stove.

Further, since the table 2 is tilted on the leg 1, a gap is formed between the table 2 and the mounting surface on which the leg 1 is mounted, thereby preventing the temperature of the table 2 on which articles are mounted from rising. It is also possible to place a seasoning container or the like which may be deformed due to a rise in ambient temperature due to the fire of the gas stove on the table 2. Therefore, even during heating cooking by the gas stove, it is possible to take a pot or a container containing a seasoning without leaving the side of the gas stove.

Further, when the table 2 which has been tilted by using a large pot or the like becomes an obstacle, the table 2 is raised and a part of the table 2 in that state is inserted into the leg 1 so that the table 2 If it is kept upright, the table 2 will not be in the way.

Further, as set forth in claim 2, the table 2 is inserted into a mounting plate 16 on which an article is mounted, and into the gap 5 formed along one end of the mounting plate 16. Each of the two or more legs 1 includes a mounting portion 8 on which the tilted table 2 is mounted, and a pair of upright portions 6 forming the gap 5. , 7, and the opening 4 formed at one end of the pair of uprights 6, 7 may be narrowed so as to prevent the locking part 3 from coming off. With this configuration, the engaging portion 3 of the table 2 and the opening 4 of the leg 1 are engaged with each other.
When the table 2 is tilted, the table 2 can be smoothly tilted with the engagement portion as a fulcrum.

When the table 2 is tilted, the locking portion 3 is engaged with the opening 4, so that there is no need to position the table 2. Therefore, table 2 has leg 1
It is only necessary to tilt the table 2 until the table 2 comes into contact. Further, since the gap 5 is formed by the pair of uprights 6 and 7, when the table 2 is not used or when the table 2 is in the way, the table 2 is raised and the table 2 is locked. The part 3 and a part of the mounting plate 16 in the vicinity of the locking part 3 are inserted between the pair of upright parts 6 and 7 of the leg 1, that is, into the gap part 5 so that the table 2 is kept upright. Then, the table 2 does not get in the way. In addition, even if the table 2 is disposed on the exhaust port of the grill of the gas stove and the grill is used, a gap is formed by the legs 1 between the cover and the exhaust port. Absent. When the heat of the grill is increased and the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes high, if the table 2 is raised and inserted into the legs 1, the temperature of the table 2 can be prevented from rising, and the kitchen rack can be prevented from rising. The same exhaust efficiency can be obtained as in the case where no is disposed.

Further, as described in claim 3, the locking portion 3 of the table 2 is a columnar body, and at least one of the pair of upright portions 6 and 7 of the leg 1 is upright.
However, it may be curved in an arc shape toward the other standing portion 7 side. With this configuration, when the table 2 is tilted, the outer peripheral surface of the columnar body slides through the opening 4 formed by the pair of uprights 6 and 7, and the table 2 can be tilted smoothly. Can be. That is, by bending at least one upright portion 6 toward the other upright portion 7 side, the opening 4
Opening 4 formed by a pair of standing portions 6 and 7
Can slide the outer peripheral surface of the locking portion 3 while keeping the locking portion 3 from coming off. The gap 5
Since the distance is set so that the locking portion 3 can be inserted, the columnar body serving as the locking portion 3 can be inserted into the depth of the gap 5. In other words, the leg 1 is moved downward so that the locking portion 3 of the table 2 and the part near the locking portion 3 are dropped downward.
It can be inserted inside (between the pair of uprights 6, 7).
