(5) In any one of (1) to (4),
The kitchen cabinet in which the storage member provided in the reversing part has a handle.

  According to the present invention, even if the hand is blocked by cooking or washing, it is possible to put in and out the stored items without operating the hanging cabinet or drawer, and it is possible to put in and out cooking utensils in use without hesitation, When it is desired to be blindfolded or not used, it is possible to provide a kitchen cabinet with a temporary storage space that can be stored inside the drawer and does not impair the aesthetics.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the kitchen cabinet of the present invention includes a sink 2, a stove 3, a work top 4, a cabinet 5 for supporting these, and the cabinet 5 as used in a general home. And a drawer 6 provided in the.

  The sink 2 is provided on the worktop 4 and can be used in a general kitchen cabinet 1. For this reason, for example, a resin-molded one or a stainless steel plate that has been press-molded and has a drainage structure such as a bottom surface, a peripheral wall, and a sink hole can be used.

  The stove 3 is provided in the worktop 4 and what is used in the general kitchen cabinet 1 can be used. For this reason, for example, a gas stove, an IH stove, an electric stove, or the like can be used.

  The work top 4 is a top plate on the upper surface of the kitchen cabinet 1 and is a table on which work such as cooking and washing can be performed. What is used in the general kitchen cabinet 1 can be used. For this reason, what shape | molded resin and what press-processed the stainless steel plate can be used, for example.

  The cabinet 5 is provided below the work top 4, supports the work top 4, the sink 2 and the stove 3 provided on the work top 4, and is provided with storage. A cabinet having a drawer 6 can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the drawer 6 is provided in the cabinet 5 and has a front plate 7, a side plate 8, a back plate 9, and a bottom plate 10, thereby forming a drawer box 11. A reversing portion 14 that is rotatable in the horizontal direction is provided on a part of the front plate 7. A storage member 12 is provided on one surface of the reversing portion 14. A handle 15 is preferably provided on the other surface. At least in terms of aesthetics, the surface on which the handle 15 is desirably provided, that is, the surface on which the storage member 12 is not provided, has a uniform appearance with the front plate 7 of the drawer 6. desirable. The handle 15 is preferably not provided in the reversing unit 14 but provided on the front plate 7 above the reversing unit 14. Thereby, since the handle 15 is always on the front surface side of the front plate 7, the operation of the drawer 6 can be performed even if the reversing portion 14 rotates in the horizontal direction and any surface faces the front surface side of the front plate 7. It becomes easy.

  Further, it is desirable that the drawer 6 is relatively deep, that is, has a space in which the storage member 12 can be stored above the drawer box 11 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the reversing portion 14 is provided on the upper portion of the front plate 7 and the housing member 12 is attached to the reversing portion 14, the housing member 12 is disposed on the back side of the front plate 7. Even when there is a storage space, a storage space can be secured in the drawer box 11 below the storage member 12. For this reason, even if a stored item is stored in the drawer box 11, the storage member 12 can be prevented from colliding with the stored item.

  The storage member 12 can be fixed to a reversing portion 14 provided in a part of the front plate 7. In addition, it can store cooking utensils such as ladle and frying used in operations such as cooking and washing, seasonings, or detergents and scourers used for washed dishes and washing. And it is a thing of the structure and material which can receive the water droplet from the liquid food material which adhered to the cooking utensils in use, the tableware which was just washed, etc., and does not leak these. As a result, cooking utensils in use and freshly washed tableware can be taken in and out of the storage member 12 without hesitation.

  The material of the storage member 12 is preferably resinous or stainless steel. This prevents liquid from adhering to cooking utensils in use or water drops from freshly-washed tableware, etc., and prevents them from leaking, corroding, deteriorating or deteriorating. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 3, it is desirable that the structure of the storage member 12 has an opening in the upward direction and a bottom in the downward direction, such as a pocket. Thereby, it can receive the water droplet from the liquid food material, the tableware which was just washed, etc. adhering to the cooking utensils in use, and it can be set as the structure which does not leak these. Moreover, it is desirable that the storage member 12 is detachably fixed to the reversing portion 14 provided in a part of the front plate 7. As a method of making it detachable, for example, a method of providing a hook or using a magnet can be used. Thereby, when use of the storage member 12 is finished, the storage member 12 can be removed and washed, and a clean state can be maintained. Moreover, since it has an opening in the upward direction of the storage member 12, it can be handed from above and can be used as a handle for opening and closing the drawer 6.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the width and height of the storage member 12 are equal to or less than those of the reversing portion 14 provided in a part of the front plate 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal cross section of the storage member 12 protrudes to one side (upward in the drawing) of the reversing portion 14 in any part in the vertical direction, and the center fulcrum of the reversing portion 14 in the width direction. Suppose that the shape falls within the range of a circle 17 drawn when the reversing unit 14 rotates around 16. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the reversing portion 14 of the front plate 7 is turned upside down, and the storage member 12 is set to the front side of the front plate 7, or conversely to the back side of the front plate 7. be able to. The depth of the storage member 12 is desirably 20 cm or less. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, even when the storage member 12 is inside the drawer box 11, a storage space can be secured in the drawer box 11. Further, even when the storage member 12 is the front side of the front plate 7, the width of the protrusion to the front side is small, so that it does not interfere with cooking and washing work.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the reversing portion 14 of the front plate 7 of the drawer 6 can be rotated in the horizontal direction so that the front and back can be reversed. Thereby, before working such as cooking and washing, the storage member 12 on the back surface of the front plate 7 is inverted to the front side of the front plate 7 so that the storage member 12 can be used as a temporary storage space. Can be kept. Further, even if the hand is blocked by cooking or washing, it is possible to put in and out the stored items to and from the storage member 12 without operating the drawer 6 or the like. And since it is not necessary to put a storage thing on a worktop, it can store so that a worktop may not be scattered and the thing which is easy to roll and difficult to put on a worktop may not roll. Further, when the user suddenly wants to blindfold, when the use is temporarily interrupted and restarted, or when the work is completed, the drawer 6 can be quickly and easily stored. Furthermore, the aesthetic sense is not spoiled by making the surface (surface which does not have the storage member 12) in which it is desirable to have the handle 15 of the reversing part 14 of the front plate 7 face up.

  Examples of the mechanism by which the reversing part 14 provided in a part of the opening 18 of the front plate 7 can be turned upside down include those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. That is, an opening 18 is provided in a part of the front plate 7, and a plate-like reversing portion 14 that is slightly smaller than the opening 18 is formed in the opening 18 of the front plate 7 by a fulcrum 16 provided in the center in the width direction. Fixed so that it can rotate horizontally. A gap 19 is provided between the reversing unit 14 and the opening 18 so that the reversing unit 14 does not interfere with rotation by contacting the front plate 7. Thereby, inversion of the front and back of the inversion part 14 becomes easy. Further, it is desirable that a locking body 20 is provided in the gap 19 so that the reversing portion 14 can be temporarily locked at a position where the reversing portion 14 rotates and becomes parallel to the front plate 7. Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a lock mechanism as necessary. Thereby, when it is not necessary to rotate the inversion part 14, it can prevent that the inversion part 14 rotates and becomes obstructive or a hand is pinched.

  The drawer box 11 including the front plate 7, the side plate 8, the back plate 9, and the bottom plate 10 preferably includes a tray 21 that slides back and forth. Thereby, when the storage member 12 of the reversing part 14 is outside the drawer 6, the tray 21 is slid toward the front plate 7 so that the drawer 6 is opened a little and the storage stored in the tray 21 is performed. Things can be taken in and out. Further, when the reversing unit 14 including the storage member 12 is reversed, the tray 21 is pushed by the rotating reversing unit 14 and slides to the back side of the drawer box 11, thereby obstructing the reversing of the reversing unit 14. You can avoid it.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the storage member 12 attached to the reversing unit 14 preferably has a handle 22. Thereby, when the reversing part 14 is reversed and the storage member 12 is on the front side of the front plate 7, the drawer 6 can be operated by the handle 22 provided outside the storage member 12. In addition, when the storage member 12 is attached to and detached from the reversing portion 14, the usability can be improved.

  The sink 2 is provided on the work top 4 and is formed by press-molding a stainless steel plate and has a drainage structure such as a bottom surface and a peripheral wall of the sink 2 and a sink hole. As the stove 3, an IH stove was used. As the work top 4, a stainless steel plate obtained by press forming was used. The cabinet 5 was provided below the work top 4 and used to support the work top 4 and the sink 2 and the stove 3 provided thereon, and provided with a drawer 6 as storage.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the drawer 6 is provided in the cabinet 5 and includes a front plate 7, a side plate 8, a back plate 9, and a bottom plate 10, and a drawer box 11 is configured by these. Then, a reversing portion 14 that is rotatable in the horizontal direction is provided on a part of the front plate 7. A storage member 12 is provided on one surface of the reversing portion 14, and a handle 15 is provided on the other surface. A decorative plate having a sense of unity with the front plate 7 of the drawer 6 was used on both the surface provided with the housing member 12 and the surface provided with the handle 15. The drawer 6 has a relatively deep depth and has a space in which the storage member 12 can be stored above the drawer box 11.

  The housing member 12 was made of resin and fixed to the reversing portion 14 with a hook (not shown) in a detachable state. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, cooking utensils such as ladle and frying used for cooking and washing operations, seasonings, or detergents and scourers used for washed dishes and washing items can be stored. The structure of the storage member 12 has an opening in the upper direction and a bottom in the lower direction like a pocket.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the width and height of the storage member 12 were set to be equal to or less than those of the reversing portion 14 provided in a part of the front plate 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the horizontal cross section of the storage member 12 protrudes on one surface of the reversing portion 14 and is reversed about the center fulcrum 16 in the width direction of the reversing portion 14 as shown in FIG. 5. The shape is within a range of a circle 17 drawn when the portion 14 rotates.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the reversing portion 14 of the front plate 7 of the drawer 6 can be rotated in the horizontal direction so that the front and back sides can be reversed. The mechanism by which the reversing unit 14 can be reversed is as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. That is, an opening 18 is provided in a part of the front plate 7, and a plate-like reversing portion 14 slightly smaller than the opening 18 is rotated horizontally on the front plate 7 by a fulcrum 16 provided at the center in the width direction. Fixed as possible. A gap 19 is provided between the reversing part 14 and the opening 18 so that the reversing part 14 does not interfere with rotation by contacting the front plate 7.
