Description

  The present invention relates to a storage provided with a slide-type drawer capable of storing an object to be stored.

  In the kitchen, many storage spaces are provided to store cooking utensils, cooking materials, tableware, and the like. For this reason, it is usual that a storage with a drawer and a hinged door is provided under the top plate (worktop in the system kitchen). In recent years, in particular, the lower end of the drawer at the bottom of the storage (hereinafter referred to as the foot storage) is extended to a position directly above the floor surface, so that the drawer and the storage space of the entire storage can be expanded (for example, patents). Reference 1).

  In general, a kick that is a space deep behind the storage is provided between the storage and the floor. Conventionally, the main body portion that accommodates the drawer in the storage is provided with a kick by placing it on a pedestal made shallower than that. On the other hand, in a storage having a foot storage as in Patent Document 1, the lower part of the side plate constituting the main body is cut out in a square shape, and a portion close to the floor surface in the front of the foot storage is cut out in the side plate. Kicks are provided by recessing the rear of the storage so as to correspond to the above.

JP 2002-282070 A

  By the way, due to water and oil splashing during cooking, the kitchen often gets dirty not only on the top plate (work top) but also on the front surface, that is, the front plate of the storage. The problem of this stain is the same for the foot storage in the lower part away from the top board. For this reason, the high cleaning property is calculated | required by the front board of a leg storage.

  Moreover, as another subject, in a kitchen, a cleaner etc. may hit at the time of cleaning, and a front board of a leg storage may be damaged. For this reason, when providing a foot storage for kicking, the foot storage needs to be configured to withstand scratches.

  In order to obtain a high cleaning property, for example, a coating with a low surface energy or a hydrophilic coating may be applied, or a coating or a laminate having a high hardness so as not to be easily damaged. However, since the system kitchen is mainly used at home, there is a demand to provide it at a potentially low price. Then, as a proposition, it is imperative to reduce costs while improving quality and functions.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention has a high cleaning property, scratches are hardly noticeable, and low cost on the front surface of a storage container arranged near the floor even when the kick is formed by the inclined portion. It aims at providing the storage which can be manufactured in.

  In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a storage according to the present invention is a storage having at least a slide-type drawer arranged near the floor and capable of storing an object to be stored. The main body portion has an inclined portion that is inclined rearward from the lower end of the front edge of the both side surfaces to the lower edge on both side surfaces, and the front plate disposed on the front surface of the drawer is the main body portion in a side view. A front portion along the front edge, a bent portion that continues to the rear continuously from the front portion, and a kick portion that continues to the bent portion and extends along the inclined portion, and the surface of the front plate is more than the bent portion. The upper front part is textured, and the kicked part below the bent part is flat knurled in the width direction of the drawer.

  According to the above configuration, in the front plate of the drawer in the vicinity of the floor, the front part which is the front surface of the storage is processed with a satin finish, so that the area is almost smooth and can easily wipe off the attached dirt. It is. In addition, due to the satin finish, dirt is less noticeable than a smooth surface such as a mirror surface. Therefore, high cleanability can be obtained. On the other hand, the kicked portion below the bent portion is knurled so that the region has irregularities. Therefore, even if a vacuum cleaner or a toe collides with the area, only the tip of the convex part is scratched, and since it is the side of the convex part that is observed by the user, the scratch may be inconspicuous. It becomes possible.

  The bend portion may be subjected to the same satin finish as the front portion. When the radius (curvature radius) of the bent portion is large on the front plate of the drawer, that is, when the bent portion is not angular and is a curved region, the area that can be observed also on the front surface of the bent portion is increased. . Here, in the kitchen, the drawer near the floor is looked down at a steep angle from above, so that the bent portion is observed, but the kicked portion is hardly observed. Therefore, the knurl processing is performed only on the kicked portion, and the bend portion is processed with the same satin finish as the front portion, so that the aesthetics can be improved without conspicuous knurl processing.

  A flange-like handle portion is provided on the upper edge of the front plate, and the front plate is an aluminum-based metal extrusion molding material. The front portion, the bent portion, the kick-in portion, and the handle portion are integrally molded. It is good to be.

  By integrally molding each part of the front plate as described above, its manufacture is easy, and the number of parts is reduced and assembly work is not required. Moreover, by using an extrusion molding material, it becomes possible to deal with a plurality of storage boxes having different width dimensions depending on the cutting position. Therefore, since the front plates of the plurality of storage boxes can be manufactured with the same mold, it is possible to reduce the mold cost and thus the part cost.

  According to the present invention, even when the kick is formed by the inclined portion, the front surface of the storage disposed in the vicinity of the floor has a high cleaning property, scratches are not noticeable, and can be manufactured at low cost. Possible storage can be provided.

It is a figure which shows a kitchen provided with the storage concerning this embodiment. It is a perspective view of the main-body part of the base cabinet which is the storage concerning this embodiment. It is a disassembled perspective view and front view of the main-body part of FIG. It is a figure which shows the detail of the leg storage which concerns on this embodiment. It is a 3rd page figure of the front board of a foot storage.

To do.

(kitchen)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a kitchen including a storage according to the present embodiment. The kitchen 100 is a so-called system kitchen provided with a plurality of storage cabinets (cabinets) under one top plate 110 (work top). The top plate 110 is made of synthetic resin (artificial marble), stainless steel, or the like, and covers the entire top surface of the kitchen 100. In addition, the top plate 110 is provided with a stove 112 attached in a built-in manner, a cooking space 114 which is a flat table surface and used mainly for cooking, and a sink 116 integrally formed with the top plate 110.

  Under the top plate 110, the storage cabinet includes a stove cabinet 120 in which the main body of the stove 112 is installed, a base cabinet 130 corresponding to the cooking space 114, and a sink cabinet 140 in which the sink 116 is installed. Each storage box functions as a storage space, and an empty space in the storage box also contains wiring to the stove 112, a water supply / drain pipe to the sink 116 and the faucet, and the like. As described above, a plurality of storages corresponding to the respective components such as the sink 116 and the stove 112 on the top plate 110 are provided under the top plate 110 with the same height and depth.

  Each storage is provided with sliding drawers of various sizes in order to store the objects to be stored. The stove cabinet 120 is provided with 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 side. A wide drawer 124 is disposed at the center of the stove cabinet 120 (below the grill 112a), and can accommodate relatively large cooking utensils such as pots and bowls. In addition, near the floor (lowermost level) of the lower part of the stove cabinet 120, a foot storage 126 that is a slide-type drawer (foot storage) is disposed. Similarly, the base cabinet 130 is provided with a plurality of drawers 132 and 134 and a foot storage 136, and the sink cabinet 140 is provided with a drawer 144 and a foot storage 146.

(Storage)
Next, the storage which is a feature of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, the base cabinet 130 is exemplified among the above-described stove cabinet 120, base cabinet 130, and sink cabinet 140, but the present invention is also applicable to the stove cabinet 120 and sink cabinet 140.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the main body of the base cabinet 130 that is a storage according to the present embodiment. For easy understanding, the drawers 132 and 134 and the foot storage 136 are removed from the main body of FIG. The removed state is shown. 3 is an exploded perspective view and a front view of the main body of FIG. 2, FIG. 3 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the main body of FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 (b) is a front of the main body of FIG. FIG.

  The base cabinet 130 includes drawers 132 and 134, a foot storage 136 (see FIG. 1), and a main body 200 that houses them (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the right side surface 200a and the left side surface 200b (hereinafter collectively referred to as both side surfaces) of the main body 200, and the back surface 200c are formed of a stainless steel plate member in a U-shape. It is integrally formed by bending. Thus, by making the main body 200 made of stainless steel (made of metal), a high-class feeling and durability can be obtained, and by constituting the both side surfaces and the back surface 200c with a single plate, the number of members can be reduced, and as a result Assembling man-hours can be reduced.

  A stainless steel front plate made of a member different from the both side surfaces and the back surface 200c is attached to the upper portions of the front edges 202a and 202b on both side surfaces of the main body 200 as a front surface 200d. Further, a bottom plate made of stainless steel is attached to the lower edges 204a and 204b of both side surfaces and the back surface 200c as a bottom surface 200e. Thereby, the main-body part 200 will be in the state shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the both side surfaces and the back surface 200c are configured by a single stainless steel plate bent into a U-shape, but this configuration is an example, and at least both side surfaces are formed by stainless steel plate members. It only has to be formed. Further, although stainless steel plate-like members are used for the back surface 200c, the front surface 200d, and the bottom surface 200e, the present invention is not limited to this. However, according to such a configuration, it is possible to obtain an advantage that a high sense of design can be obtained because a sense of unity of the material is obtained, and that the separation work when the base cabinet 130 is discarded can be easily performed.

  As shown in FIG.3 (b), the rails 210a-210f are attached to the inner side of the both sides | surfaces of the main-body part 200 at right and left in a pair. Thereby, pulleys (not shown) provided on the sides of the drawers 132 and 134 and the foot storage 136 (see FIG. 1) can be inserted into the rails 210a to 210f, and the drawers 132 and 134 and the foot storage 136 can be slid. It becomes.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B, a pair of left and right screw receiving plates 220a to 220f are attached to the outside of both side surfaces of the main body 200 at positions corresponding to the rails 210a to 210f in the height direction. It has been. Thereby, even if it is a case where the thickness of the plate-shaped member which comprises both side surfaces is reduced, it becomes possible to attach rail 210a-210f to this both side surfaces with sufficient intensity | strength.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the right side surface 200a of the main body 200 is formed with an inclined portion 206a that is inclined rearward from the lower end of the front edge 202a to the lower edge 204a. . Similarly, the left side surface 200b of the main body 200 is formed with an inclined portion 206b that is inclined backward from the lower end of the front edge 202b to the lower edge 204b. With this configuration, the kicks 102 (see FIG. 1) can be provided integrally with both side surfaces of the main body 200, so the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the conventional configuration in which the kicks are provided by a pedestal (pedestal). The number of assembly steps can be reduced. Further, if the kick 102 is formed by the inclined portions 206a and 206b, it is difficult to generate a portion where the load is concentrated as compared with the conventional case where the kick is formed by a square notch. The deformation of the metal plate can be suppressed.

  In addition, it is preferable to arrange reinforcing members 230 (see FIG. 2) for reinforcing the inclined portions 206a and 206b described above. As a result, the load from the front edge 202a of the right side surface 200a and the front edge 202b of the left side surface 200b (the load on the upper portion of the main body 200 of the base cabinet 130) is transmitted to the lower edges 204a and 204b via the reinforcing member 230, and thus inclined. The load on the parts 206a and 206b is reduced. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress the deformation of the inclined portions 206a and 206b due to bending, and the strength thereof can be sufficiently ensured. Therefore, even when the kick 102 is formed integrally with the main body 200 by the inclined portions 206a and 206b, it is possible to reduce the plate thickness of the plate-like members that are both side surfaces of the main body 200.

  As described above, when the main body portion 200 is provided with the inclined portions 206a and 206b, the lowermost drawer of the base cabinet 130, that is, the underfoot storage 136 which is a drawer provided near the floor, The shape follows 200 inclined portions 206a and 206b. In the following description, among the above-described foot storages 126, 136 and 146, the foot storage 136 is illustrated, but the present invention is also applicable to the foot storages 126 and 146.

(Foot storage 136)
FIG. 4 is a view showing details of the foot storage 136 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 4 (a) is a front perspective view 136 of the foot storage, and FIG. 4 (b) is a view of FIG. 4 (a). FIG. 4C is a rear perspective view, and FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. FIG. 5 is a three-side view of the front plate 302 of the foot storage. In addition, in FIG.4 (c), although the left side of the foot storage 136 is illustrated and demonstrated, it cannot be overemphasized that the right side is the same structure symmetrically.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the foot storage 136 includes a front plate 302 that constitutes the front surface, two side plates 304a and 304b that constitute the side surface, a bottom plate 306 that constitutes the bottom surface, and a back surface. A back plate 308 is provided. In the present embodiment, the front plate 302 is connected to the side plates 304a and 304b by connection members 310a and 310b. The connection members 310a and 310b cover the end surface (not shown) of the front plate 302 and are connected to the front ends of the side plates 304a and 304b, whereby the front plate 302 and the side plates 304a and 304b are connected. Note that the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the front plate 302 and the side plates 304a and 304b may be directly connected without providing the connection members 310a and 310b.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the front plate 302 is continuous with the front portion 302a and the front portion 302a along the front edge 202a of the main body 200 (see FIG. 3A) in order from the top in the side view. And a bent portion 302b that extends rearward, and a kick portion 302c that continues to the bent portion 302b and extends along the inclined portion 206a. In this way, the foot storage 136 has a shape along the front edges 202a and 202b and the inclined portions 206a and 206b of the right side surface 200a and the left side surface 200b of the main body portion 200, so that it is kicked 102 in front of the base cabinet 130. Thus, interference between the user's foot and the base cabinet 130 (foot storage 136) during work in the kitchen 100 can be avoided.

  In the present embodiment, the upper edge of the front plate 302 described above is provided with a flange-shaped handle portion 302d (see FIG. 4C) continuous with the front surface portion 302a. The grip portion 302d and the front portion 302a, the bent portion 302b, and the kicked portion 302c of the front plate 302 may be integrally formed. As a result, it is possible to obtain an advantage that manufacturing is facilitated and the number of parts is reduced, and at the same time assembly work is not required. The front plate 302 may be an aluminum-based metal extrusion molding material. Thereby, it becomes possible to manufacture the front plate of the foot storage 126 of the stove cabinet 120 and the foot storage 146 (a plurality of storages) of the sink cabinet 140, which have different width dimensions depending on the cutting position, with the same mold. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the mold cost and the part cost.

  In addition, it is good to provide the partition plate 320 (refer FIG.4 (b) and (c)) standing up upwards in the vicinity of the rear end of the kick part 302c in the inside of the foot storage 136. FIG. Thereby, in the foot storage 136, the space 136a above the kicking portion 302c and the other space 136b (the space behind the kicking portion 302c) are partitioned by the partition plate 320, so the kicking portion 302c It is possible to store an object to be stored (not shown) by using the space 136a above as a pocket. Therefore, in the front plate 302, even when the kicked portion 302c along the inclined portions 206a and 206b of the main body portion 200 is a slope (not a flat bottom surface), the front plate 302 is located above the kicked portion 302c. It is possible to effectively use the space 136a.

  As described above, the main body 200 is provided with the inclined portions 206a and 206b, and the kick storage portion 136 along the inclined portions 206a and 206b is provided in the foot storage 136 so that the kick 102 is integrated with the base cabinet 130. While forming, compared with the case where a kick is comprised by the square notch conventionally, the deformation | transformation of the both sides | surfaces of the main-body part 200 can be suppressed.

  However, if the kick 102 is formed integrally with the base cabinet 130 as in the present embodiment, a cleaner or the like hits the foot storage 136 during cleaning, and the kick portion which is an area corresponding to the kick 102 in the front plate 302 The surface of 302c (side surface of the kick 102) may be damaged. Therefore, when the kick 102 is formed integrally with the base cabinet 130, it is necessary to make the scratches that enter the kick portion 302c inconspicuous. On the other hand, in the kitchen 100, dirt often adheres not only to the top plate 110 but also to the front plate 302 (particularly the front surface 302a) of the base cabinet 130 (storage) due to splashing of water or oil during cooking. Therefore, high cleanability is required for the front portion 302a of the front plate 302.

  Therefore, as a feature of the present embodiment, functional processing is performed on the front plate 302 of the foot storage 136 on the surfaces of the front portion 302a and the kick portion 302c with the bent portion 302b as a boundary.

(Front plate 302)
More specifically, a satin finish is applied to the front portion 302a above the bent portion 302b in the surface of the front plate 302. The satin finish is a process in which the surface of the object to be processed is roughened by blasting or the like, and the surface is made to have a rough texture like the surface of pear while being almost smooth. By applying such a satin finish to the surface of the front portion 302a which is the front surface of the base cabinet 130 (storage), dirt is less likely to adhere than when mirror finish is applied, and the attached dirt is easily wiped off. Therefore, high cleanability can be obtained.

  On the other hand, in the surface of the front plate 302, a knurled portion 302c below the bent portion 302b is subjected to a flat knurling process in the width direction of the foot storage 136 (drawer). The knurling process is a process in which shallow linear irregularities (grooves and strips) are formed in parallel on the surface. In general, the knurling includes a shape in which parallel lines are crossed, but in this embodiment, the shape is not crossed. By applying such knurling to the surface of the kicked portion 302c that becomes the kicked portion 102 of the base cabinet 130 (storage), the flat area is reduced, so that even if a cleaner or the like collides, Only the scratches are made, and since it is the side surfaces of the convex portions that are observed by the user, the scratches can be made inconspicuous.

  In order to give the surface of the front plate 302 a sense of unity (continuity), it may be preferable to unify the processing of the surfaces (the front portion 302a and the kick-in portion 302c). However, when the satin finish is applied to the entire surface of the front plate 302, although the advantages described above can be obtained in the front portion 302a, scratches are easily noticeable in the kick-in portion 302c, and the appearance may be impaired. On the other hand, when the entire surface of the front plate 302 is knurled, the above-described advantage can be obtained in the kicked portion 302c, but the dirt that has entered the groove portion is difficult to remove in the front portion 302a, so that the cleaning property is deteriorated. To do. Therefore, when a satin finish or knurling is performed on the entire surface of the front plate 302, the performance required in either the front portion 302a or the kicked portion 302c is satisfied, but the performance required in the other is satisfied. Can not.

  Therefore, as described above, like the storage (base cabinet 130) of the present embodiment, on the surface of the front plate 302, the front portion 302a is subjected to a satin finish and the kick portion 302c is subjected to a knurling process. As a result, even when the kick-in 102 is formed integrally with the base cabinet 130 (foot storage 136) by the kick-in part 302c, the high-cleanability required for the front part 302a and the kick-in part 302c are provided. It is possible to achieve compatibility with scratch prevention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the front portion 302a and the kick-in portion 302c are processed with the bent portion 302b as a boundary, but the bent portion 302b is formed on the front plate of the foot storage 136 (drawer) as shown in FIG. When the radius (curvature radius) is large, it is preferable to apply the same satin finish to the bent portion 302b as the front portion 302a. In such a case, that is, in a region where the bent portion 302b is curved, the area that can be observed also on the front surface of the bent portion 302b increases. On the other hand, the user standing in the kitchen looks down at the foot storage 136, which is a drawer near the floor, at a steep angle from above, so the kicked portion 302c that is deeper than the bent portion 302b Hard to observe.

  Therefore, when the radius of the bent portion 302b is large, in other words, when not only the front portion 302a but also the bent portion 302b can be observed by the user, only the kicked portion 302c is knurled, By performing the same satin finish as the front portion 302a, the knurling process does not stand out more than necessary, and the aesthetic appearance can be improved.

  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.
