Description

  The present invention relates to a covering member that covers a gap generated between a combination cooking unit in which a plurality of cooking units such as a stove and a grill are arranged side by side in an opening provided in a countertop of a system kitchen or the like.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a system kitchen is known in which a plurality of independent stoves are combined and arranged in parallel according to a user's request (for example, see Patent Document 1). When a plurality of stoves are arranged side by side in this way, it is necessary to form openings corresponding to the number of the stoves in the countertop, and the forming operation is laborious.

  Therefore, a single large opening is formed in the countertop in order to increase the working efficiency when forming the opening. Then, when the cooking units are arranged so that the opposing surfaces of the top plates of the adjacent cooking units are in close contact with each other and dropped into a single opening, the work for forming the opening is completed once, and the work efficiency is reduced. Will improve.

  However, when dropping a plurality of cooking units into a single opening as described above, it is practically difficult to put a plurality of cooking units side by side while the top plates of the cooking units are in close contact with each other. Further, in order to arrange a plurality of cooking units in the opening, it is necessary that the size (width) of the opening is larger than the total width of the main bodies of the plurality of cooking units arranged side by side. As a result, a gap is formed between the adjacent top plates of the cooking unit dropped into the opening.

In addition, in drop-in stoves, top plates made of highly decorative plates such as decorative heat-resistant glass and decorative veneer plates are known, but in many cases the corners of the top plate are rounded for safety. It is formed by chamfering (so-called R treatment). For this reason, when a plurality of cooking units are arranged side by side as described above, in addition to a gap between the two adjacent top plates, a recess is formed between the R portions at the adjacent corners of the two top plates. The visual unity of the top board cannot be obtained.
