At the time of work such as cooking in the system kitchen 2, the electric hoisting rack 11 can be easily pulled out downward, and an object to be stored can be taken in and out of the electric hoisting rack 11.

The front surface of the storage 1 is arranged at a position that is lowered rearward from the front surface of the system kitchen 2 in plan view. The electric hoisting rack 11 is located on the rear side of the sink of the system kitchen 2 when pulled out downward.
Therefore, when the user performs work such as cooking in the system kitchen 2, the stored items can be easily put in and out with the electric lift shelf 11 pulled down, and the electric lift shelf 11 is pulled out downward. Even if it is done, it does not disturb the work such as cooking so much.

Next, an attachment structure for attaching the storage 1 to the ceiling 5 of the kitchen will be described.
A hanging bolt 40 extending downward is attached to the ceiling 5, and a long hole 41 having a size larger than the outer diameter of the hanging bolt 40 is formed in the ceiling plate 21 of the case 10.
On the lower surface side of the ceiling plate 21, a washer-like (that is, a washer function) plate 43 is disposed. The plate 43 has a through hole 42 and can close the long hole 41.
A case nut 10 is attached to the ceiling 5 by screwing a cap nut 44 as a nut into a lower portion of a suspension bolt 40 through which the long hole 41 of the ceiling plate 21 and the through hole 42 of the plate 43 are inserted.

To hang and mount the storage 1 from the ceiling 5, a plurality of (for example, four, six, and eight) suspension bolts 40 are used, and the ceiling plate 21 has the same number of holes as the suspension bolts 40. Need to be drilled.
In this embodiment, this hole formed in the ceiling plate 21 is a long hole 41, and this long hole 41 has a size larger than the outer diameter of the suspension bolt 40. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the position of the storage case 1 in both the front-rear direction and the left-right direction so that the suspension bolt 40 and the long hole 41 can be easily engaged with each other, thereby reducing the burden of attachment work.
Further, since the plate 43 is used, the long hole 41 of the ceiling plate 21 is closed by the plate 43 in a state where the storage 1 is attached to the ceiling 5.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (A), when the ceiling 5 is composed of a plate member 45 such as a wood and a decorative plate 46 attached to the lower surface of the plate member 45, the suspension bolt 40 is A bolt with a configuration in which a nut is screwed on the top of the long screw or a bolt with a head is used. In this case, the ceiling plate 21 contacts the lower surface of the decorative plate 46, and the plate 43 and the cap nut 44 are disposed on the lower surface side of the ceiling plate 21.
As a modified example, in a reinforced concrete house, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the kitchen ceiling (ceiling of the house) 5a is composed of concrete 45a and a decorative plate 46 attached to the lower surface of the concrete 45a. It is configured.
In this case, when the anchor 47 is driven into the concrete 45a and the suspension bolt 40a is screwed into the anchor 47, the suspension bolt 40a extends downward from the ceiling 5a. Also in this case, the ceiling plate 21 contacts the lower surface of the decorative plate 46, and the plate 43 and the cap nut 44 are disposed on the lower surface side of the ceiling plate 21.

In the present embodiment and the modification, a plurality of (in this case, four) suspension bolts 40 (or suspension bolts 40a) are used for the ceiling plate 21 in order to suspend and support the storage 1 evenly. Are arranged in the vicinity of the square and other predetermined positions if necessary.
A plurality of (here, four) long holes 41 formed in the ceiling plate 21 have a predetermined shape extending long in the front-rear direction. When the storage 1 is attached to both the ceiling 5 (or the ceiling 5a) and the wall surface, the position of the storage 1 is relative to the position of the hanging bolts 40, 40a extending downward from the ceiling 5, 5a in the front-rear direction. Often misaligned. Even in such a case, since the long hole 41 extends long in the front-rear direction, the suspension bolts 40, 40 a can be easily inserted into the long hole 41.
When the storage 1 is mounted by being suspended only from the ceilings 5 and 5a, if the position of the storage 1 is relatively displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the positions of the suspension bolts 40 and 40a, a long hole is provided. You may make 41 the shape extended in the left-right direction.

The plate 43 has a function of receiving a load due to a part (or all) of the weight of the storage 1 from the ceiling plate 21 and transmitting the load to the suspension bolts 40 and 40a via the cap nuts 44. Since the plate 43 is also arranged with its longitudinal direction facing the front-rear direction, the long hole 41 can be easily blocked by the plate 43.
Since the belt 24 and other parts of the elevating drive unit are disposed near the mounting position of the plate 43, it is preferable that the elongate hole 41 be closed as compact as possible. Therefore, the plate 43 of this embodiment is formed of a compact rectangular plate having a width dimension W and a longitudinal dimension L like a small washer. The plate 43 may have any shape other than a rectangle.

The through hole 42 is formed at a predetermined position that is eccentric from the center position O 1 of the plate 43 by an eccentric dimension E in the longitudinal direction of the plate 43. The through hole 42 is located at the center of the width direction (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction).
Since the through hole 42 of the plate 43 is thus eccentric, the allowable range of relative positional deviation between the suspension bolts 40 and 40a and the long hole 41 is increased. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the plate 43 is arranged so that the through hole 42 is relatively located on the rear side, the plate 43 is inverted in the front-rear direction in the horizontal plane, and FIG. As shown in (B), the plate 43 may be arranged so that the through-hole 42 is relatively located on the front side, but in any case, the entire long hole 41 can be blocked by the plate 43. .

4C, 4D, and 4E show the case where the suspension bolts 40 and 40a are located at the center in the left-right direction with respect to the long hole 41, the case where they are displaced in the left direction, and the right Each of the cases where the position is displaced in the direction is shown, and in each case, the entire long hole 41 is closed by the plate 43.
As described above, the plate 43 can always block at least the long hole 41 regardless of where the long hole 41 of the ceiling plate 21 is located relative to the suspension bolts 40 and 40a. It has a longitudinal dimension L and an eccentric dimension E.
Thereby, since the long hole (hole) 41 of the ceiling board 21 is closed in a state where the storage 1 is attached to the ceilings 5 and 5 a, there is no possibility that dust and foreign matter on the ceiling board 21 enter the storage 1. . In addition, it is preferable in terms of appearance, and the planar view shape of the plate 43 can be minimized to prevent interference with the components of the lift drive unit.

In the work of hanging the storage 1 from the ceiling 5 or 5a of the kitchen and attaching it, a plurality of (in this case, four) hanging bolts 40 and 40a are attached in a state of extending downward from the ceiling 5 or 5a in advance. deep.
Next, the storage 1 is lifted, and a plurality of (here, four) long holes 41 formed in the ceiling plate 21 of the case 10 are engaged with the suspension bolts 40 and 40a. At this time, since the hole formed in the ceiling board 21 is the long hole 41, even if the storage case 1 is displaced in the front-rear direction relative to this, or even if it is slightly displaced in the left-right direction, the suspension bolt 40 , 40a can be easily inserted into the long hole 41.
In this state, the suspension bolts 40, 40 a pass through the long hole 41, and the lower part protrudes inward of the case 10.

Next, the through holes 42 of the plate 43 are inserted through the suspension bolts 40 and 40a. Since the long hole 41 is long in the front-rear direction, the plate 43 is also positioned with its longitudinal direction facing the front-rear direction. In this state, the plate 43 may be left as it is if it covers the entire long hole 41. However, when a part of the long hole 41 is exposed, the plate 43 is inverted 180 degrees in the horizontal plane. As a result, the entire long hole 41 is blocked by the plate 43 (see FIGS. 4A and 4B).
With the suspension bolts 40, 40a inserted through the through holes 42 of the plate 43, the cap nut 44 is screwed into the lower portions of the suspension bolts 40, 40a and tightened firmly. Thereby, storage 1 is fixed in the state suspended from ceilings 5 and 5a.
