Description

  The present invention relates to a system kitchen, and more particularly to a technique for concealing a gap generated between adjacent cabinets.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the system kitchen has at least three cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c connected side by side, and side panels 3, 3 are arranged on the outer surfaces of the cabinets 2b, 2c located at both ends. The top counter 4 is placed on the cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c including both side panels 3, 3, and the top counter 4 protrudes upward from the cabinets 2b, 2c at both ends. A structure having a leading edge member 5 interposed between the parts is in the development stage. In such a system kitchen, since the components (cabinet, front edge member, etc.) have dimensional tolerances as factory mass-produced products, the total length of the front edge member 5 and the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c It is difficult to match the total length after connection.

  If the total length of the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c after the connection of the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c is longer than the total length of the front edge member 5, the side panels 3, 3 will protrude sideways rather than the top counter 4, and the commercial value Therefore, the total length of the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c after connection is designed to be slightly shorter than the total length of the front edge member 5. For this reason, in the system kitchen, when the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends are installed close to the central cabinet 2a, a gap s is generated between the cabinet 2b at the end and the side panel 3 as shown in FIG. There is a case. There are two methods for dealing with such a gap: a method of leaving the gap as it is and a method of closing the gap with a caulking material.

JP-A-7-289364

  However, in the method of leaving the gap as it is, the designability (appearance) is poor, and in the method of closing the gap with a caulking material, there is a problem that the number of man-hours during construction increases. As a related technique, as described in Patent Document 1, in order to close a gap between the cabinet and the indoor wall surface, a mounting plate for a filler member is provided on the side of the front side edge of the cabinet. However, since this technique is premised on a large gap in the first place, it is difficult to apply this technique to a small gap between cabinets.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a system kitchen that solves the problems of the conventional techniques described above, can easily close gaps between cabinets, and can improve design and workability.

  In the present invention, at least three cabinets are installed side by side, side panels are fixed to the outer side surfaces of the cabinets located at both ends, a top counter is placed on the cabinet including both side panels, and the top The counter is a system kitchen having a front edge member interposed between the protruding portions of both side panels protruding above the cabinets at both ends, in order to conceal the gap generated between the cabinets at both ends and the intermediate cabinet. A gap concealing member is provided between the front edge portions of the side plates of adjacent cabinets.

  According to the present invention, at least three cabinets are installed side by side, the side panels are fixed to the outer side surfaces of the cabinets located at both ends, the top counter is placed on the cabinet including both side panels, The top counter is a system kitchen having a front edge member interposed between the protruding portions of both side panels protruding upward from the cabinets at both ends, and conceals a gap generated between the cabinets at both ends and the intermediate cabinet. Therefore, since the gap concealment member is provided between the front edge portions of the side plates of adjacent cabinets, the gap between the cabinets can be easily closed, and the design and workability can be improved.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 to FIG. 7, the system kitchen 1 according to the present embodiment is installed by connecting at least three cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c side by side, and cabinets 2b, 2c located at both ends. The side panels 3 and 3 are fixed to the outer surface of the cabinet, and the top counter 4 is placed on the cabinets 2a, 2b and 2c including the side panels 3 and 3, and the top counter 4 is more than the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends. It is set as the structure which has the front edge member 5 interposed between the protrusion parts of both the side panels 3 and 3 protruded upwards.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, each cabinet 2 a, 2 b, 2 c includes side plates 6, 6 disposed on the left and right sides, a bottom plate 7 provided between the lower ends of the side plates 6, 6, and both side plates. It is mainly comprised from the back board 8 provided between the rear-end parts of 6 and 6, and the horizontal connection material 9 provided between the front-end upper parts of the both-sides boards 6 and 6. FIG. The central cabinet 2a includes drawer-like storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c at the upper, middle, and lower stages. The cabinet 2c at the right end includes an accommodating portion 12a that accommodates a sink (sink) 11 in the upper stage, and includes drawer-shaped accommodating portions (not shown) in the middle and lower stages. The left end cabinet 2b includes a storage portion 14a for storing a cooking device such as a gas stand 13 in the upper stage, and a drawer-shaped storage section (not shown) in the middle and lower stages.

  The side plate 6, the bottom plate 7, the back plate 8, and the lateral connection member 9 are made of, for example, an extruded shape of aluminum alloy. In this case, the side plate 6, the bottom plate 7, and the back plate 8 may each be divided into a plurality. The side plate 6 is divided into a plurality of, for example, two in the front-rear direction, the bottom plate 7 is divided into a plurality of, for example, two in the front-rear direction, and the back plate 8 is divided into a plurality of, for example, two in the vertical direction. A connecting plate 15 having an inverted L-shaped cross section is connected between the rear edge of the bottom plate 7 and the lower edge of the back plate 8. The back plate 8 is provided with an inspection port 16. In this case, the inspection port 16 is formed by dividing the back plate 8 vertically into two parts and disposing the upper back plate 8a and the lower back plate 8b vertically apart.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D, an inspection port panel 17 is detachably attached to the inspection port 16 from the inner side in a detachable manner. In order to insert the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the inspection port panel 17 in an up-and-down manner, a groove 18a having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section is formed in the lower edge portion of the upper back plate 8a. A groove 18b having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed in the upper edge portion. In the side plate 6, in order to connect the side plate components 6a and 6b divided into two as shown in FIG. 8, the concave portion 19a having a C-shaped cross section and the convex portion 19b having a T-shaped cross section are arranged in the longitudinal direction. The joint structure to be fitted from above is adopted.

  The front portions of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c are doors 10ad, 10bd, 10cd, 12bd, 12cd, 14bd, and 14cd that close the front openings of the cabinets 2a, 2b, and 2c. Lower edge of door 10ad of upper storage part 10a, upper edge of doors 10bd, 12bd, 14bd of middle storage parts 10b, 12b, 14b and upper edge of doors 10cd, 12cd, 14cd of lower storage parts 10c, 12c, 14c The parts are provided with handles 20a, 20b, and 20c, respectively.

  Adjacent cabinets 2a, 2b or 2a, 2c are located on the rear side between the lower edge portion of the door 10ad of the upper storage portion 10a and the upper edge portion of the door 10bd of the intermediate storage portion 10b, and continue in the left-right direction. The cover member 21 having a C-shaped cross section is laid horizontally. Grooves 22 into which the cover material 21 is detachably fitted are formed in the side plates 6 of the adjacent cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c. A cover material 12ax made of the same material as that of the door 10ad is attached to the front surface of the upper stage of the right end cabinet 2c. In addition, 14ax is an operation part of the gas stand 13. The sink 11 is previously attached to the top counter 4 at the time of factory production, and the gas stand 13 is installed after the top counter 4 is constructed.

  The front edge member 5 is bonded to the lower surface portion of the front edge of the top counter 4 with an adhesive or the like in advance during factory production. The total length of the front edge member 5 and the inner dimension between the side panels 3 and 3 at both ends must be matched. In this case, since the total length of the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c after connecting the plurality of cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c is designed to be slightly shorter than the total length of the front edge member 5, the cabinets 2b, 2c at both ends are brought closer to the central cabinet 2a side. A gap is generated between the cabinets 2b, 2c and the side panels 3 at both ends, resulting in poor design. For this reason, the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends are installed close to the side panels 3 at both ends as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, the side panels 3 and 3 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the cabinets 2b and 2c arranged at both ends. Accordingly, no gap is formed between the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends and the side panel 3, but a gap s may be generated between the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends and the central cabinet 2a. Therefore, in order to conceal the gap s, a gap hiding member 23 is provided between the front edges 6e and 6e of the side plates 6 and 6 of the adjacent cabinets 2a and 2b or 2a and 2c.

  The front end portion of the side plate 6 has a substantially L-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. The side plate constituting member 6a is formed with a flange-like front edge 6e, an intermediate edge 6f, and a rear edge 6g that protrude outward at right angles at the front, middle, and rear ends, and is adjacent to the left and right. In the side plate constituent members 6a and 6a that fit, these edge portions 6e, 6f, and 6g are opposed to each other. A gap concealing member 23 is attached between the front edge portions 6e, 6e of the side plates 6 of the adjacent cabinets. This gap concealing member 23 is formed in a substantially cross-sectional shape. That is, the gap concealing member 23 includes a front cover portion 23a disposed over the front surfaces of the opposed front edge portions 6e and 6e, and a rear cover portion 23b disposed over the rear surfaces of the front edge portions 6e and 6e. And a connecting portion 23c that connects the front cover portion 23a and the rear cover portion 23b. The connecting portion 23c is inserted from the longitudinal direction into the gap s between the adjacent front edge portions 6e, 6e.

  The gap concealing member 23 is preferably formed of a resin having substantially the same color as that of, for example, a metal side plate. As shown in FIG. 8, a packing 24 is attached to the front end portion of the side plate 6 so as to seal between the door (for example, 10 bd). There is a gap Sa between the doors 10bd and 14bd of the adjacent cabinets 2a and 2b, but only the gap concealing member 23 can be seen from the gap Sa. When the door (for example, 10bd) is opened, the side plate 6 Although the front end of the gap is exposed, the gap s is covered with the gap hiding member 23 of the same color as the side plate, so that the gap s is not exposed, and the presence of the gap hiding member 23 is not known. Can be planned.

  Next, a method for assembling the system kitchen 1 will be described. First, at least three cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c are installed side by side at predetermined positions in the room, and the side panels 3, 3 are respectively fixed to the outer surfaces of the cabinets 2b, 2c located at both ends. Next, the three cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c are temporarily connected with a connecting tool (connecting bolt). At the time of this temporary connection, the gap concealing member 23 is inserted along the gap s between the front end edges 6e, 6e of the side plates 6, 6 of the adjacent cabinets 2a, 2b and 2a, 2c. Next, the top counter 4 having the front edge member 5 integrally may be placed on the cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c including the side panels 3, 3 at both ends, and after positioning, all of them may be fully connected.

  In this way, at least three cabinets 2a, 2b, 2c are installed side by side, side panels 3, 3 are fixed to the outer surfaces of cabinets 2b, 2c located at both ends, and both side panels 3, 3 are attached. The top counter 4 is placed on the cabinets 2a, 2b and 2c including the front counter 4 which is interposed between the protruding portions of the side panels 3 and 3 protruding upward from the cabinets 2b and 2c at both ends. In the system kitchen 1 having the member 5, in order to hide the gap s generated between the cabinets 2b, 2c at both ends and the intermediate cabinet 2a, the side plates 6, 6 of the adjacent cabinets 2a, 2b or 2a, 2c Since the gap concealing member 23 is provided between the front edges 6e and 6e, the gap s between the cabinets 2a and 2b or 2a and 2c can be easily closed. It is possible to improve sexual and workability.

  Particularly, since the gap concealment member 23 is formed in a substantially cross-sectional shape, it can be easily attached to the gap s, and can reliably and easily cover the gap s regardless of the size of the gap s. Can do. In addition, the gap concealment member 23 has a simple structure as can be seen from its shape, and can be easily manufactured to reduce costs.
