Description

  The present invention relates to a storage having a drawer for storing a storage object.

  There are various cooking utensils used in the kitchen, such as bowls, rice cakes, ladle with a long shape, long chopsticks, wraps, small items such as seasonings, and kitchen knives. Conventionally, in order to store objects to be stored such as cooking utensils, a hanging cabinet is provided on the kitchen, or a storage having an opening door and a drawer is provided below the kitchen.

  Among the above, the storage having a drawer can easily store an object to be stored in the drawer from above, and can obtain high space efficiency by providing a plurality of drawers in parallel in the horizontal and vertical directions. As a result, in addition to the above-mentioned cooking utensils, tableware such as bowls, dishes, cups, large cooking utensils such as pans and frying pans, seasonings such as salt and pepper, bottling or canning containers for foods, seasonings, etc. , Large and small objects can be easily stored from above.

  However, when a plurality of drawers are provided in parallel in the vertical direction, the object stored in the drawer provided at a position lower than the user's waist (hereinafter referred to as the lower side) such as a drawer at the foot is taken out. In order to do this, the user must bend and sit down. It is troublesome for the user who is working while keeping time in the kitchen to perform such an operation every time the stored item is taken out, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency.

  In addition, the above operation places a heavy load on the waist. For this reason, if the user is a healthy person, it may not be a heavy burden, but if the user is an elderly person whose physical ability declines and the body is not free, such movement becomes a heavy burden. End up.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a cabinet provided with a drawer that forms a storage chamber for storing an object, provided in the cabinet body and the drawer, and the drawer is placed outside the cabinet body. A sliding mechanism that slides in the horizontal direction until it is fully pulled out, and a lift that is provided on the drawer and that raises the drawer fully pulled out by the sliding mechanism from the drawer height to the working height and then lowers it to the drawer height Lifting mechanism that is incorporated in both of these mechanisms so as to cooperate with the mechanism, sliding mechanism, and lifting mechanism, and that controls the lifting and lowering of the drawer by the lifting mechanism when the drawer slides horizontally at the drawer height And a cabinet having a mechanism.

  According to the cabinet described in Patent Document 1, since the drawer can be raised from the drawer height to the use height by the lifting mechanism, the work is carried out at the use height when the object stored in the lower drawer is taken out. Can be done. Therefore, the burden on the user's posture can be reduced and the usability can be improved. Moreover, it is supposed that it can prevent reliably that this drawer | drawer collides with a cabinet main body by pulling out drawer | drawing-out by providing an raising / lowering control mechanism.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a cabinet having a drawer that forms a storage chamber for storing objects, provided in the cabinet body and the drawer, and slid horizontally in a state in which the drawer is completely pulled out of the cabinet body. A sliding mechanism that is moved, a lifting mechanism that is provided on the drawer and that is fully pulled out by the sliding mechanism from the drawer height to the working height and then lowered to the drawer height, and a sliding mechanism and a lifting mechanism, There is disclosed a cabinet having a sliding restriction mechanism which is incorporated in both of these mechanisms so as to cooperate and regulates the sliding in the horizontal direction by the sliding mechanism of the drawer when the drawer is moving up and down.

  According to the cabinet described in Patent Document 2, since the lifting mechanism is provided in the same manner as the cabinet described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to reduce the burden on the user's posture and improve usability. Yes. In addition, by providing the sliding restriction mechanism, it is possible to surely prevent the drawer from colliding with the cabinet body when the drawer is moved up and down.

  For example, Patent Document 3 describes a floor cabinet in which a drawer provided at a lower portion of a cabinet body is provided with a storage shelf that can be moved up and down. According to Patent Document 3, even if the drawer is at the lower level, the storage shelf is raised so that articles stored in the storage shelf can be easily put in and out at the upper level.

  However, in the cabinets described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, in order to raise the drawer from the drawer height to the use height by the lifting mechanism, the drawer is horizontally extended until it is completely pulled out of the cabinet body. After sliding out of the cabinet body, it must be lifted up with each such drawer. Such an operation may be easily performed if there are few items in the drawer, but if many or heavy items are stored in the drawer, it is not easy to lift the drawer upward. In particular, as described above, when the user is an elderly person or the like, the operation of lifting upward with each drawer is more burdensome than the operation of bending.

  Further, according to the configuration described in Patent Document 3, it is possible to make only the storage shelf inside the drawer symptom. However, after pulling out the drawer, the handle provided on the upper edge of the storage shelf is pulled up to raise the storage shelf. For this reason, in order to raise the storage shelf, it must eventually bend. In addition, although it is a configuration that is assisted by a tension spring, the storage shelf in which a large number of cooking utensils are stored must be pulled up by the user, and the person who needs this facility is less likely to use this facility. It can be in a state.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention raises the object stored in the drawer under the foot or the like without a significant change in the posture and without requiring a large force, so that the user can move in a natural posture. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage that can reduce the load on the body and improve the convenience by easily removing the object to be stored.

  In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a storage according to the present invention is a storage that can slidably store a drawer capable of storing a storage object, and the drawer is stored in the interior. In the operation of raising the mounting member in conjunction with the operation of pulling out the drawer housed in the storage room and pushing the drawer into the storage room. An elevating mechanism for lowering the placement member in conjunction with the elevating mechanism is provided.

  According to the said structure, a mounting member raises only by pulling out drawer | drawer from a storage with a raising / lowering mechanism. Thereby, since the to-be-contained object mounted on the mounting member in drawer | drawing-up raises, a user can take out a to-be-contained object without bending a waist | hip | lumbar. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the load on the body and improve convenience. Further, since the placement member descends when the drawer is pushed in, even if there is another drawer at the upper part of the drawer, the collision of the placement member and the object to be stored placed on the other drawer Can be avoided.

  In addition, when the above storage is applied to a kitchen, it is preferable to provide an elevating mechanism as described above in a drawer below the sink or stove where an upper drawer cannot be provided in the vicinity of the work top. As a result, the object to be stored can be lifted and brought close to the work top, and the work in the kitchen becomes easy.

  The elevating mechanism may convert a horizontal force, which is a force for pulling out or pushing out the drawer, into a vertical force, which is a force for raising or lowering the placement member.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to raise and lower the mounting member in the vertical direction using a horizontal force that is a force for pulling out or pushing out the drawer.

  The drawer further includes a support member that supports the mounting member, the mounting member is detachable from the support member, and the lifting mechanism moves the support member up and down to raise or lower the mounting member. It is good to let them.

  In the above configuration, the mounting member can be attached to and detached from the support member. Thereby, the mounting member can be attached to and detached from the drawer. Therefore, the user can appropriately change the presence / absence of the mounting member in the drawer as necessary. Moreover, since the mounting member can be removed from the drawer and the mounting member can be easily cleaned, a good sanitary state can be maintained.

  Said mounting member is good in it being a box-shaped pocket by which the top | upper surface was open | released. According to such a configuration, when the drawer is pulled out from the storage case and the pocket is raised, only the articles stored in the pocket among the articles stored in the drawer are raised. Accordingly, the weight of the object to be raised by the lifting mechanism is reduced, so that the force required to pull out the drawer can be reduced. Further, the objects to be stored can be stored in the pockets, and the arrangement in the drawer can be organized.

  Said mounting member is good to be provided in the position adjacent to the back surface of the front plate of drawer. According to such a configuration, the placing member is provided in the foremost side of the drawer. Therefore, if an object to be stored that is frequently used is stored in the mounting member, the object to be stored can be taken out most efficiently, and convenience can be improved.

  Two or more pockets may be provided. As a result, the objects to be stored can be stored in two or more (plural) pockets, and the drawers can be organized.

  According to the present invention, the stored item stored in the lower drawer such as the foot is raised without causing a significant change in the posture and without requiring a large force, so that the user can easily move the stored item with a natural posture. Thus, it is possible to provide a storage that can reduce the load on the body and improve the convenience.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values shown in the embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified. In the present specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same function and configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not illustrated. To do.

(overall structure)
Drawing 1 is a figure explaining the whole composition of a system kitchen provided with a storage concerning this embodiment. System kitchen 100 (hereinafter referred to as kitchen 100) includes a top plate 110 (also referred to as a work top) that covers the entire top surface of the kitchen. In the present embodiment, the top plate 110 is formed using a stainless steel material, but is not limited to this, and may be formed using a synthetic resin material.

  On the top surface of the top plate 110, there are provided a stove 112 attached in a built-in manner, a cooking space 114, and a sink 116 integrally formed. A cabinet as a storage is provided under the top plate 110. The cabinet includes a stove cabinet 120 in which a stove 112 is installed, a base cabinet 130 having a cooking space 114, and a sink 116. The sink cabinet 140 is configured. The empty space in each cabinet accommodates wiring to the stove 112, a water supply / drain pipe (not shown) to the sink 116 and the faucet.

  Each of the above cabinets has drawers of various sizes capable of storing the objects to be stored, and slidably accommodates the drawers. For example, the stove cabinet 120 includes a grill 112a of the stove 112 and an operation panel 112b at the top, and a spice box 122, which is a small drawer for storing small items such as seasonings, is disposed on the left side of the stove cabinet 120. A large wide drawer 124 is arranged at the center of the stove cabinet 120, that is, below the grill 112a, so that a relatively large cooking utensil such as a pot or bowl can be accommodated. A drawer-type foot storage 126 is disposed near the floor below the stove cabinet 120.

  The base cabinet 130 is provided with a drawer 132 having a low height, a drawer 134 having a high height, and a foot storage 136 in that order from the top. Further, the sink cabinet 140 is provided with a drawer 144 and a foot storage 146 having a high front plate extending from the foot storage 146 to the top plate 110.

  As described above, the top plate 110 corresponds to the components such as the stove 112 and the sink 116 on the top plate 110 under the top plate 110 even though it is continuous over the entire system kitchen 100. Multiple cabinets are provided. As a result, even when the configuration of the system kitchen 100 is varied, it is only necessary to prepare parts such as a drawer and a front plate for each cabinet, and the production efficiency can be improved.

(Storage)
The storage according to the present embodiment will be described in detail below. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating details of the storage according to the present embodiment. In the following description, the base cabinet 130 is exemplified as the storage, but the storage cabinet is not limited to this, and the stove cabinet 120 and the sink cabinet 140 may be the storage according to the present embodiment. Further, in order to facilitate understanding, the drawer 132 and the foot storage 136 are not shown in FIG.

  The drawer 134 of the base cabinet 130 includes a placement member 150 and a support member 160. The mounting member 150 can place an object to be stored therein, and is detachable from a support member 160 described later. In the present embodiment, the mounting member 150 is a box-shaped pocket with the top surface opened.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the mounting member 150. 3A is a front perspective view of the mounting member 150, and FIG. 3B is a side view of the mounting member 150. As shown in FIG. 3A, the placing member 150 can place (store) an object to be stored in the space inside. Therefore, when the drawer 134 is pulled out from the base cabinet 130 (storage) and the mounting member 150 is raised by an elevating mechanism to be described later, among the articles to be stored stored in the drawer 134, the drawer 134 is mounted on the mounting member 150. Only the stored items rise. Thereby, compared with the case where the whole drawer | drawing-out 134 is raised, the weight of the to-be-contained object raised using a raising / lowering mechanism is reduced, and the to-be-contained object can be raised using the force which pulls out the drawer | drawing-out 134. Further, by arranging the mounting member 150 as a pocket, it becomes possible to easily organize the drawer 134.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the mounting member 150 has an L-shaped portion 152 that is continuous from the upper end of the back surface and is bent in an L-shape. Thereby, the mounting member 150 can be hooked (attached) to the support member 160 described later. Therefore, the mounting member 150 can be attached to and detached from the support member 160, that is, attached to the drawer 134, and the user can appropriately change the presence or absence of the mounting member 150 in the drawer 134 as necessary. Moreover, since the mounting member 150 is detachable, it can be removed from the drawer 134 and can be easily cleaned. For this reason, it becomes possible to maintain a favorable hygiene state.

  In the present embodiment, the placement member 150 (pocket) is provided at a position adjacent to the back surface of the front plate 134 a of the drawer 134. Therefore, the mounting member 150 is provided in the foremost part of the drawer 134, and if an object to be stored that is frequently used is stored in the mounting member 150, it can be extracted most efficiently. Thereby, the convenience can be improved.

  Further, by providing the two placement members 150 in the drawer 134 as in the present embodiment, the objects to be stored can be placed (stored) in both of them. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of objects that can be raised or lowered by an elevating mechanism that will be described later, and to organize the drawer 134 in a more organized manner. The number of the mounting members 150 described above is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. The number of mounting members 150 may be one, or three or more depending on the width of the drawer 134.

  Note that the shape and size of the mounting member 150 in the present embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The width of the mounting member 150 may be the same as the width of the space in the drawer. The shape of the member 150 can be a tray. For example, if the mounting member 150 is formed in a tray shape that is substantially the same size as the bottom plate of the drawer 134, it is possible to raise all the objects to be stored in the drawer 134.

  The support member 160 is a member that supports the placement member 150. Therefore, it is possible to raise and lower the mounting member 150 by raising or lowering the support member 160 using an elevating mechanism described later. The support member 160 includes beams 162a and 162b, sliding members 164 and 184, column members 166 and 186, arms 168 and 188, upper pulleys 170 and 190, and lower pulleys 172 and 192. . Assuming that the front surface 134a of the drawer 134 is the front surface, the sliding member 164, the column member 166, the arm 168, the upper pulley 170, and the lower pulley 172 are provided on the wall plate 130a side of the drawer 134. Further, the sliding member 184, the column member 186, the arm 188, the upper pulley 190, and the lower pulley 192 are provided on the wall plate 130b side of the drawer 134.

  The L-shaped part 152 of the mounting member 150 is hooked (mounted) on the beam 162a. Thereby, the support member 160 can support the mounting member 150. The beam 162b is located below the beam 162a, and suppresses the rotation of the mounting member 150 that is hooked on the beam 162a. Thereby, stability of mounting member 150 and a thing stored in it can be improved. The beams 162 a and 162 b have one end connected to a sliding member 164 described later and the other end connected to a sliding member 184. Thereby, the mounting member 150 hung on the beam 162a can be moved up and down together with the sliding members 164 and 184.

  The sliding members 164 and 184 are connected to the support member 160, and slide (move) up and down by an elevating mechanism described later. As a result, the mounting member 150 can be raised or lowered via the support member 160.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the sliding member 184 and shows a surface of the sliding member 184 that comes into contact with a later-described column member 186 (a surface that does not come into contact with the mounting member 150). As shown in FIG. 4, a convex portion 184a and an upper and lower groove 184b are provided on this surface. Further, although not shown in the drawings, a convex portion 164a and an upper and lower groove 164b are similarly provided on a surface of the sliding member 164 that contacts a later-described column member 166 (a surface that does not contact the mounting member 150). The convex portions 164a and 184a are fitted with concave portions 166a and 186a described later. The upper and lower grooves 164b and 184b pass through upper and lower rails 166b and 186b, which will be described later.

  The column members 166 and 186 are fixed to the back surface of the front plate 134 a of the drawer 134. Therefore, the moving direction of the drawer 134 and the moving direction of the column members 166 and 186 are the same horizontal direction.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the column member 186 and shows a surface of the column member 186 that contacts the sliding member 184. As shown in FIG. 5, a concave portion 186a and a T-shaped upper and lower rail 186b are provided on this surface. In addition, although not shown, a concave portion 166a and a T-shaped upper and lower rail 166b are similarly provided on the surface of the column member 166 that contacts the sliding member 164. The concave portions 166a and 186a are fitted with the convex portions 164a and 184a. The upper and lower rails 166b and 186b guide the sliding members 164 and 184 up and down.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the fitting between the sliding member 184 and the column member 186. When fitting the sliding member 184 and the column member 186, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, the surface of the sliding member 184 having the convex portion 184a and the surface of the column member 186 having the concave portion 186a are opposed to each other. Let Then, when the sliding member 184 is moved in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. 6A and the upper and lower rails 186b are inserted into the upper and lower grooves 184b, the sliding member 186 slides on the column member 186 as shown in FIG. 6B. A member 184 is mounted. As a result, the sliding member 184 can slide on the column member 186 in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. In addition, about the fitting of the other side sliding member 164 and the column member 166, since it overlaps with said description, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The arm 168 is connected to the sliding member 164, and the arm 188 is connected to the sliding member 184. The arm 168 has an upper pulley 170 at its tip, a lower pulley 172 in front of the upper pulley 170, and the arm 188 similarly has an upper pulley 190 and a lower pulley 192. Thus, the arms 168 and 188 are interlocked according to the opening / closing operation of the drawer 134, and the upper pulleys 170 and 190 and the lower pulleys 172 and 192 provided on the arms 168 and 188 are along guide rails 194 and 196 described later. Thus, the elevating mechanism according to the present embodiment can be realized. The lifting mechanism will be described later.

  The base cabinet 130 has a guide rail 194 on the inner side of the wall plate 130a serving as a housing portion for the drawer 134 described above, and a guide rail 196 on the inner side of the wall plate 130b (see FIG. 2). Such guide rails 194 and 196 guide the upper pulleys 170 and 190 and the lower pulleys 172 and 192. This allows these pulleys to move along the guide rails 194 and 196.

  FIG. 7 is a view showing a mounting state of the mounting member 150 and the support member 160 to the drawer 134. For ease of understanding, the illustration of the wall plate 130b (see FIG. 2) of the base cabinet 130, the drawer 132, and the foot storage 136 is omitted in FIG.

  When the mounting member 150 and the support member 160 described above are mounted on the drawer 134, first, the arm 168 having the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 is connected to the sliding member 164, and the arm having the upper pulley 190 and the lower pulley 192 is connected. 188 is coupled to sliding member 184. Next, the beams 162 a and 162 b are connected to the sliding members 164 and 184. Thereby, the beams 162a and 162b, the sliding members 164 and 184, and the arms 168 and 188 are in the state shown in FIG.

  Then, the sliding members 164 and 184 in the state shown in FIG. 2 are moved downward, mounted on the column members 166 and 186, and the mounting member 150 is hooked on the beam 162a. Next, the upper pulley 170 and the lower pulley 172 included in the arm 168 are disposed on the guide rail 194, and the upper pulley 190 and the lower pulley 192 included in the arm 188 are disposed on the guide rail 196. As a result, the base cabinet 130 is in the state shown in FIG. 7, and the elevating mechanism according to the present embodiment can be operated.

(Elevating mechanism)
Hereinafter, the elevating mechanism according to the present embodiment will be described. The lifting mechanism according to the present embodiment is configured using a support member 160 and guide rails 194 and 196. Then, the elevating mechanism moves the support member 160 in the vertical direction, so that the placing member 150 provided on the drawer 134 is raised and lowered, and the object to be stored placed on the placing member 150 is raised or lowered. It becomes possible.

  FIG. 8 is a side view for explaining details of the lifting mechanism. Since FIG. 8 is a side view, each member of the support member 160 provided on the wall plate 130a side of the drawer 134 when the surface of the front plate 134a is the front surface is not illustrated. However, since these members exhibit the same functions and operations as the members of the support member 160 provided on the wall plate 130b side of the drawer 134, the reference numerals are added in parentheses unless otherwise specified. This is the explanation.

  FIG. 8A shows a state in which the drawer 134 is accommodated in the base cabinet 130 (see FIG. 1). From this state, when the drawer 134 is pulled out from the base cabinet 130 in the direction of the arrow, the column member 186 (166) fixed to the front plate 134a of the drawer 134 also moves in the same direction as the drawer 134. Since the upper and lower rails 186b (166b) of the column member 186 (166) are fitted with the upper and lower grooves 184b (164b) of the sliding member 184 (164) (see FIG. 6B), the column member 186 (166) ) Moves the sliding member 184 (164) in the same direction as the column member 186 (166), that is, in the same direction as the drawer 134. Therefore, the arm 188 (168) connected to the sliding member 184 (164) also moves in the same direction as the drawer 134.

  Due to the movement of the arm 188 (168), the upper pulley 190 (170) and the lower pulley 192 (172) provided on the arm 188 (168) are moved in the same direction as the drawer 134 along the guide rail 196 (194). Moving. When the upper pulley 190 (170) and the lower pulley 192 (172) (hereinafter collectively referred to as pulleys) pass the point A of the guide rail 196 (194), the guide rail 196 (194) is inclined. Move up along. As a result, the arm 188 (168) rises, and the convex portion 184a (164a) of the sliding member 184 (164) connected to the arm 188 (168) moves inside the concave portion 186a (166a) of the column member 186 (166). It moves while ascending (see FIG. 6B). Therefore, the mounting member 150 hooked on the beam 162a (see FIG. 7) connected to the sliding member 184 (164) is also raised, and the drawer 134 is in the state shown in FIG. 8B.

  When the drawer 134 is further pulled out in the direction of the arrow from the state shown in FIG. 8B, the pulley further rises along the guide rail 196 (194). As a result, the arm 188 (168), the sliding member 184 (164) connected to the arm 188 (168), and the mounting member 150 connected to the sliding member 184 (164) via the beam 162a (see FIG. 7) further rise. To do. When the pulley reaches the point B of the guide rail 196 (194), the mounting member 150 rises to the top, and the drawer 134 is in the state shown in FIG.

  Although not shown, when the drawer 134 is further pulled out in the direction of the arrow from the state of FIG. 8C, the drawer 134 can be completely pulled out from the base cabinet 130. At this time, since the guide rail 196 (194) along which the pulley follows is linear, the arm 188 (168) does not rise. Therefore, the mounting member 150 moves only in the horizontal direction at the same height as in FIG.

  Next, the case where the drawer 134 pulled out by the above-described operation is accommodated again in the base cabinet 130 will be described. When the pulley reaches the point B by pushing the drawer 134 in the direction opposite to the arrow shown in FIG. 8C, the pulley moves along the inclination of the guide rail 196 (194). As a result, the arm 188 (168) is lowered, and the projection 184a (164a) of the sliding member 184 (164) connected to the arm 188 (168) is within the recess 186a (166a) of the column member 186 (166). Move while descending. Therefore, the mounting member 150 connected to the sliding member 184 (164) via the beam 162a is also lowered, and the drawer 134 is in the state shown in FIG. 8B.

  When the drawer 134 is further pushed in from the state shown in FIG. 8B, the pulley further moves along the guide rail 196 (194). Thereby, the arm 188 (168) and the sliding member 184 (164) are further lowered, and the mounting member 150 is in the state shown in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the column member 186 (166) is connected to the front plate 134a of the drawer 134, so that the column member 186 is pulled out or pushed in, that is, a horizontal force. (166) moves in the same direction. When the column member 186 (166) moves, the arm 188 (168) coupled thereto also moves in the same direction, and the pulley provided on the arm 188 (168) moves along the guide rail 196 (194). . At this time, since the guide rail 196 (194) has an inclination, the arm 188 (168) moves not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction. Thereby, a force (horizontal force) for pulling out or pushing the drawer 134 is converted into a force (vertical force) for raising or lowering the placement member 150, and the placement member 150 is utilized using the horizontal force. Can be moved up and down. Accordingly, the placement member 150 is raised in conjunction with the operation of pulling out the drawer 134 housed in the storage (base cabinet 130) from the storage, and the drawer 134 is pushed into the storage in conjunction with the operation. An elevating mechanism that lowers the mounting member 150 is realized.

  By the above-described lifting mechanism, the placement member 150 rises only by pulling out the drawer 134 from the storage case, that is, the object to be stored placed on the placement member 150 in the drawer 134 rises. As a result, the user can take out the object to be stored without bending his / her waist, thereby reducing the load on the body and improving the convenience. Further, when the drawer is pushed in, the placement member 150 is lowered, so that even if there is another drawer (the drawer 132 in the present embodiment) above the drawer 134, the placement member is placed on another drawer. And the collision of the to-be-contained object mounted on this can be avoided.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring an accompanying drawing, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to the example which concerns. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention. Understood.

  For example, in addition to the lifting mechanism described above, a so-called push-open type push-out mechanism that automatically pulls out the drawer by simply pushing the front surface of the drawer front plate slightly back may be provided. As the push-open type push-out mechanism, a mechanical device using a spring and a latch, or an electric device using a motor can be used. By providing such an extrusion mechanism and a lifting mechanism in combination, the kitchen user can take out the stored items inside the drawer almost without bending, and the burden on the user's posture can be further reduced. it can.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the raising / lowering mechanism is provided only in the drawer | drawing-out 134 of the base cabinet 130, it is not limited to this. Such an elevating mechanism may be provided in the drawer of the stove cabinet 120 or the sink cabinet 140, or may be provided in another drawer of the base cabinet 130.

  In particular, below the stove cabinet 120 and the sink cabinet 140, the upper drawer cannot be provided near the work top, and the uppermost drawer is the same height as the middle drawer of the base cabinet 130. Here, by providing the elevating mechanism as described above in the drawer below and on the top of the sink or stove, the object to be stored can be lifted and brought closer to the worktop, and the work in the kitchen becomes easy.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used as a storage having a drawer that stores a storage object.
