Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a kitchen counter excellent in design with excellent drainage when food, dishes and cookware, etc., are drained. SOLUTION: The kitchen counter 1 is provided with a counter A which is inclined downward in a depth direction, a recessed drain groove 3 which is perpendicularly crossed with the depth direction at this side of a back guard 4 and gently inclined toward a sink B and a plurality of parallel projecting line parts 2 in the depth direction on the upper surface 1 of the counter.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a kitchen counter. More specifically, it relates to a kitchen counter provided with a drainer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art After washing foodstuffs, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. in a sink, they are usually placed on a counter provided beside the sink and drained. However, if the water on the counter is not well drained, water tends to collect and become unclean, and various techniques have been conventionally proposed to improve drainage from the counter. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-109536, as shown in FIG. 4 of the present application, a large number of drain grooves 5 that are gently inclined laterally from a counter A to a sink B are provided, and food and tableware after washing, A kitchen counter is disclosed in which water is drained to a sink B when cooking utensils and the like are drained.

[0003]

However, the kitchen counter shown in FIG. 4 does not have a good design because the drainage port from the counter A to the sink B appears uneven on the side surface of the sink B. No, there is also a problem that it gives a feeling of being unclean because of the water stains that hang down from each of the inlets. Further, since the drainage groove 5 is inclined in the horizontal direction, if the horizontal size of the counter is small, it is necessary to increase the inclination gradient of the drainage groove 5 to set the cut depth of the drop opening to a constant value. . Therefore, there is a manufacturing problem that work efficiency is deteriorated. The present invention solves the above problems and provides a kitchen counter that is well drained and excellent in design when the ingredients, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. are washed in the sink B and then drained on the counter. The task is to do.

[0004]

The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a counter tilted downward in the depth direction. The kitchen is characterized in that a drainage groove that is orthogonal to each other and is gently inclined toward the sink is provided in the recess, and a plurality of ridge portions are provided in parallel in the depth direction on the upper surface of the counter. A counter is provided.

It is preferable that the upper surfaces of the plurality of ridge portions are horizontal surfaces. In this way, the upper surfaces of the plurality of ridge portions form the placing surface, and since the placing surface is horizontal, foodstuffs, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. can be placed stably. Further, the plurality of ridge portions may be provided on a part of the upper surface of the counter or may be provided on the entire surface. When the width of the counter is smaller than the depth, it is preferably provided on the entire surface. Furthermore, the counter is
It may be installed on the left side or the right side of the sink.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a kitchen counter according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper surface 1 of the counter A is gently inclined downward in the depth direction, and the counter A itself is orthogonal to the depth direction in front of the back guard 4 and is in the sink. A drain groove 3 that is gently inclined toward the left is recessed. Further, on the upper surface 1 of the counter A, a plurality of ridge portions 2 are provided in parallel in the depth direction.

Here, since the upper surfaces of the plurality of ridge portions 2 are horizontal and are provided in parallel with each other in the depth direction, the upper surfaces of the ridge portions 2 form a mounting surface. And, since the placement surface is horizontal, foodstuffs, tableware,
It is possible to stably mount cooking utensils and the like. Therefore, when the food, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. are washed and then placed on the placing surface to drain water, the water first flows in the depth direction, and then, in front of the back guard 4, orthogonal to the depth direction and sinks. Toward the drainage groove 3 which is recessed so as to incline gently to the left, and is drained to the sink. With this structure, the top surface of the counter is well drained and always kept clean.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the counter configured as described above is installed between the sink B and the gas range C in the kitchen. As is clear from FIG.
It is clear that the kitchen counter according to the present invention is excellent in design as well as being functionally excellent in that it is well drained and can be stably placed with food materials, tableware, cooking utensils, etc. .

[0009]

As described above, claim 1 and claim 3
The kitchen counter of the invention according to claim 5 is a counter inclined downward in the depth direction, wherein a drainage groove, which is orthogonal to the depth direction and is gently inclined toward the sink, is provided in front of the back guard. In addition, a plurality of ridge portions are provided on the upper surface of the counter in parallel in the depth direction. Therefore, the kitchen counter of each invention is
After washing dishes, cooking utensils, etc., drain water on the kitchen counter so that the water first flows in the depth direction, and then, in front of the back guard, is orthogonal to the depth direction and gently inclines to the left toward the sink. It flows into the recessed drain. Because of this structure, the counter is well drained and always kept clean. Also, it will be excellent in terms of design.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the above effects, since the upper surfaces of the plurality of ridge portions are horizontal surfaces, the upper surfaces of the plurality of ridge portions form a mounting surface, and Since the placing surface is horizontal, foodstuffs, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. can be placed stably.
