An element having two to four sets of suction cup mounting structures for changing one suction cup to the back and the bottom is limited to claims 1 to 9.

  An eleventh aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which elements that support the rack when the suction cup is not mounted are added to the base frame and at least two sets of suction cup mounting structures in a limited manner to the tenth aspect. According to a twelfth aspect of the present invention, the base frame is formed of a bar, and the ends of at least two sets of suction cup mounting structures protruding forward from the base frame are bent downward, and the side frames on both sides constituting the base frame An element that supports the rack by the end of at least two sets of suction cup mounting structures and the rear bar extending in the lateral direction constituting the base frame by folding the rear part of the bar part downward is limited to claim 11. It is the structure added to. In the thirteenth aspect, an element in which the upper end frame constituting the upper end outer shape of the rack is formed of a plate material and the other frame is formed of a bar material is limitedly added to the second to twelfth aspects. .

  Claim 14 is a kitchen rack in which at least two storage units for small items to be stored are arranged in the horizontal direction, and at least one storage unit is a container storage for storing a cylindrical container such as a liquid detergent. A partition frame is provided between the container storage unit and the adjacent storage unit, the container is stored in the container storage unit so as not to contact the partition frame, and the container contacts the partition frame It is the structure in which the container movement prevention means which prevents this is provided. The fifteenth aspect is a configuration in which the whole or a part of the rack is formed of a bar material that is a wire or a pipe.

  In a sixteenth aspect of the present invention, the container movement preventing means is a bulging portion formed by bulging the frame constituting the front portion of the container storage portion forward, and the container stored in the container storage portion is separated from the partition frame. In addition, the element in which the lateral movement is prevented when a part of the container is inscribed in the bulging portion is a configuration that is limitedly added to claim 14 or claim 15. In the seventeenth aspect, the partition frame is formed of a bar, and the elements that project forward from the front surface of the rack to form the object hanging portion are added to the fifteenth or sixteenth aspect in a limited manner.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, at least one set of suction cup mounting structures is provided for enabling at least one suction cup to be replaced with the back and bottom of the rack. Therefore, the rack can be attached to the wall surface of the kitchen, and if there is no appropriate place on the wall surface, it can be used by being fixed to the upper surface of the sink, so that the handling is convenient. In the second aspect, the whole or a part of the rack is formed of a bar material that is a wire or a pipe. Since the rack according to the present invention is used in the kitchen, it is used for, for example, setting a sponge scrubbing or the like. If the rack is formed of a bar, moisture contained in the sponge can easily be drained, and the drying can be accelerated.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the suction cup mounting structure includes support parts that face each other in a parallel state, and the support parts that face each other are integrally continuous from the back part to the bottom part of the rack. Accordingly, the attachment position of the suction cup is not limited to a fixed place on the back or bottom, and it is only necessary to have a support portion that is opposed in parallel, so that the suction cup can be attached to any place within that range. In addition, the support portion is mainly formed of a bar material or an elongated plate material, and extends from the back portion to the bottom portion by bending the bar material or the plate material at a substantially right angle in the middle. It can be used as a component of the rack, and the material can be used efficiently because it is not necessary to provide a special suction cup mounting structure.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the mounting structure provided on the suction cup is an engagement groove provided on the suction cup base protruding from the center of the suction cup, and the support provided on the rack is provided on both sides of the suction cup base from the engagement groove. And the suction cup is attached to the rack. Therefore, for example, when the suction cups attached to the rear surface of the rack are moved to different locations on the same rear surface, the suction cups can be easily moved by sliding along the support portions without removing the suction cups from the support portions. . According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since at least one of the suction cup mounting structures at the bottom of the rack supports small items stored in the rack from the bottom, it is not necessary to separately provide the bottom of the rack and the material can be used efficiently. According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the suction cup base of at least one suction cup attached to the bottom of the rack supports small items stored in the rack. Since the suction cup is made of an elastic material, the impact exerted on the rack by the elasticity of the suction cup base can be reduced when a relatively hard or heavy accessory is placed on the rack. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the rack from falling due to the suction cup separating from the wall surface due to an impact when placing small items.

  According to the seventh aspect, since at least one of the opposing support portions is formed of a bar, the rack itself or small items can be dried quickly. In the eighth aspect of the present invention, the opposing support portions are integrally formed with a single bar together with the suction cup mounting structure. Therefore, since the suction cup mounting structure is made in advance when the rack is manufactured and the rack is completed by assembling it with other parts, the manufacturing is easy.

  According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, a part of the suction cup mounting structure protrudes forward from the base frame constituting the bottom outer shape of the rack. Accordingly, the bottle-washing brush with the string can be suspended from the protruding portion. Claim 10 has two to four sets of suction cup mounting structures. Accordingly, when the rack is lengthened in the horizontal direction and two or more small items are placed side by side, the overall weight increases. However, by attaching two to four suction cups, the rack can be securely attached to the wall so as not to fall. it can. In addition, when the rack is fixed to the upper surface of the sink, it can be stabilized by a plurality of suckers.

  According to the eleventh aspect, the rack when the suction cup is not mounted is supported by the base frame and at least two sets of suction cup mounting structures. Accordingly, since the base frame and the suction cup mounting structure, which are the basic structure of the rack, are used as they are as the rack support structure, the material can be used efficiently.

  According to a twelfth aspect of the present invention, the base frame is formed of a bar, and the ends of at least two sets of suction cup mounting structures protruding forward from the base frame are bent downward, and the side frames on both sides constituting the base frame By folding the rear part of the bar part downward, the rack is supported by at least two ends of the suction cup mounting structure and the rear bar part that constitutes the base frame and extends in the lateral direction. Therefore, since the rack is supported by simply folding the base frame and the suction cup mounting structure, which is the basic structure of the rack, the material can be used efficiently, and the ventilation of the bottom of the rack is improved by folding, so that drying of the rack and the like is accelerated. Can do.

  According to the thirteenth aspect, the upper end frame constituting the upper end outer shape of the rack is formed of a plate material, and the other frame is formed of a bar material. Although the base frame is reinforced by the frame that supports the bottom of the accessory, it does not necessarily require a frame that crosses it. Therefore, when a frame crossing the upper end frame is not provided, since the upper end frame is formed of a plate material, a strength higher than that of the bar can be obtained, so that it is difficult to deform. Moreover, since a character and a pattern can be written in the surface when using a board | plate material, a consumer's attention can be drawn by them.

  Claim 14 is a kitchen rack in which at least two storage units for small items to be stored are arranged in the horizontal direction, and at least one storage unit is a container storage for storing a cylindrical container such as a liquid detergent. A partition frame is provided between the container storage unit and the adjacent storage unit, the container is stored in the container storage unit so as not to contact the partition frame, and the container contacts the partition frame Container movement preventing means for preventing this is provided. Therefore, since the two small items placed side by side do not come into contact with each other, drying can be accelerated, and the container is not wetted by the adjacent sponge scrubber. It can be prevented from occurring. According to the fifteenth aspect, since the whole or a part of the rack is formed of a bar material that is a wire or a pipe, drying of the rack or the like can be accelerated.

  In a sixteenth aspect of the present invention, the container movement preventing means is a bulging portion formed by bulging the frame constituting the front portion of the container storage portion forward, and the container stored in the container storage portion is separated from the partition frame. In addition, a part of the container is inscribed in the bulging portion to prevent lateral movement. Therefore, even if the partition frame unique to the container storage unit is not provided, the container does not come into contact with an adjacent accessory. Therefore, if only the partition frame for the adjacent accessory is provided, contact between the container and the adjacent accessory can be prevented.

  In the seventeenth aspect, the partition frame is formed of a bar, and protrudes forward from the front surface of the rack to constitute an object hanging portion. Therefore, since the partition frame constituting the rack can be used as it is for the hanging part, the material can be used efficiently. Moreover, since the object-hanging portion is a bar, it can be bent freely, and if it is bent upward, it can be hung from its tip to a steel scoop. Moreover, if the upward part is lengthened, a kitchen glove etc. can be hung and it can dry quickly.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the rack 1 has three main frames constituting the outer shape thereof, that is, a base frame 2 formed of wires, a middle frame 3 and an upper end frame 4 formed of a plate material. Of course, the diameter of the wire is 2 mm in diameter, and the width of the plate is 15 mm. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Side frames 5 and 5 for maintaining a constant vertical distance between the main frames 2, 3 and 4 are fixed to the side portions of the main frames, and the side frames 5 and 5 are connected together. A bottom frame 6 crosses the bottom of the rack 1 in the lateral direction. The side frames 5 and 5 and the bottom frame 6 are integrally formed with a single wire. Brazing is used as means for fixing each frame, but other methods such as welding may be used.

  Two sets of suction cup mounting structures 8 and 9 for enabling the suction cup 7 to be replaced between the back and bottom of the rack are provided, and each of the suction cup mounting structures has support parts 10, 11, and 12 facing each other in a parallel state. , 13, bent into an L shape, and fixed to the main frames 2, 3, 4 and the bottom frame 6. Moreover, each edge part of the attachment structures 8 and 9 is bent in the U shape, and is continuing.

  The front portions of the mounting structures 8 and 9 protrude forward from the base frame 2, and the front end portions 29 and 30 of the mounting structures bent in a U shape are bent downward, so that the rack 1 does not use the suction cup 7. In some cases, it serves to support the rack. At this time, in order to horizontally support the rack 1, the both sides of the base frame 31, 31 are bent downward and the position of the rear frame 32 is lowered to adjust the height.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the suction cup 7 is integrally provided with a suction cup base 14 protruding from the center thereof, and an engagement groove 15 is formed around the suction cup base 14. The opposing support portions 10, 11, 12, and 13 are engaged with the engagement groove 15 to attach the suction cup 7 to the rack 1. The suction cup 7 can be deformed because it is made of an elastic material. Therefore, the suction cup 7 can be easily detached from the support portion and can be replaced with another support portion. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the suction cup 7 can be attached to either the back portion or the bottom portion of the rack 1. Further, since the support portions 10, 11, 12, and 13 respectively extend facing each other, the suction cups 7 attached to these support portions can slide while being supported by the respective support portions. Therefore, the position of the suction cup 7 can be changed as necessary.

  The rack 1 is formed so as to accommodate one liquid detergent container 19 and two sponge scrubbers 20 and 21, and the container storage portion 16 and the scrubber storage portions 17 and 18 are arranged side by side next to each other. A suction cup mounting structure 9 mounted on the bottom of the container storage unit 16 substantially supports the container 19 from the bottom. When the suction cup 7 is attached to the support portion 13 on the bottom surface of the suction cup attachment structure 9, the suction cup base portion 14 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the container 19 to support the container.

  Each main frame 4, 5, 6 constituting the front portion of the container storage portion 16 bulges forward at that portion to constitute a bulging portion 22. Since the bulging portion 22 is configured so that the container 19 is inscribed in the bulging portion 22 when the container 19 is stored in the container storage portion 16, the bulging portion 22 blocks the container 19 in the lateral direction. Can't move on. The maximum bulging degree of the bulging portion 22 is 12 mm, and the length of the front and rear including the bulging portion 22 in the upper end frame 4 is 72 mm. The length is 60 mm. However, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this value.

  A partition frame 23 is attached between the container storage portion 16 and the strain storage portions 17 and 18. The partition frame 23 is fixed to the middle frame 3, extends so as to protrude from the front surface of the rack 1 across the middle frame 3, and further bends vertically upward to constitute an object hanging portion 24. Small items can be hung from the object hanging portion 24, and a portion bent vertically upward as shown in FIG. The horizontal length of the rack 1 is 158 mm, and the distance between the vertically extending hanging portion 24 and the rear frame 32 of the base rack is 93.5 mm. The distance from the side of the container housing portion 16 of the rack 1 to the partition frame 23 is 75 mm. The height of the entire rack is 81 mm. However, it goes without saying that the numerical values are not limited to these in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the above-described partition frame 23 is attached closer to the swarf storage portions 17 and 18 than the bulging portion 22. With this configuration, the container 19 stored so as to be inscribed in the bulging portion 22 does not come into contact with the partition frame 23. Further, as described above, the container 19 does not move toward the partition frame 23.

  The scrubber storage portions 17 and 18 are provided next to the container storage portion 16 via a partition frame 23. The scrubbing storage portions 17 and 18 are provided so as to be lined up in front and back, and a scrubbing partition frame 26 is interposed between them. The scouring partition frame 26 corresponds to a portion of an oval wire bent at a right angle and rising vertically, and the other portion is fixed to the subframe 28 with the bottom 27, and the end of the ellipse is fixed to the suction cup mounting structure 8. It is a thing. The partition frame 26 divides the front and rear storage parts 17 and 18 forward and backward, and the bottom part 27 described above exists at the bottom of the rear storage part 17 and supports the front part 21, so that the storage part with a shallower bottom is provided. Become. The front strain storage 18 does not have the bottom 27 described above, and the suction cup mounting structure 8 supports the strain 20 so that it has a deep bottom. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear scrubber 21 is positioned higher than the front scrubber 20 and is configured to be easily taken out. Of course, the scrubber storage portions 17 and 18 do not store only scrubbers, but may store other small items that can be stored in the storage portion.
