Description

  The present invention relates to a storage provided with a foot storage that is a slide-type drawer capable of storing a storage object.

  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

  In order to meet a wide range of customer needs, there are various lineups of storage such as wooden items and metal items made of stainless steel. Among them, metal storage items are highly luxurious and highly durable. It is popular in the field and is becoming the mainstream recently. However, metal storage is not as good as wooden storage in terms of cost performance. As another problem, weight reduction is required in order to reduce labor required for conveyance work and installation work. Therefore, further improvement is desired for the conventional metal storage, and in order to achieve a reduction in cost and weight, the thickness of the metal plate constituting the metal storage is reduced. Is the most effective.

  However, when the metal plate is simply thinned, the rigidity is lowered as compared with a thick metal plate, and therefore bending is likely to occur. For this reason, when the metal plate is thinned not only in the cabinet of Patent Document 1 but also in a storage made of metal and provided with a kick integrally with the foot storage, the load (stress) is concentrated on the corner of the notch. It is assumed that the part is bent and the side surface part and thus the storage part is deformed.

  Therefore, the inventor diligently studied and decided not to cut out the lower part of the side plate (side surface) of the storage box in a square, but to provide an inclined portion inclined backward from the lower end of the front edge of the side plate to the lower edge. I thought. According to this, while having a kick integrally with the side surface of the main body part, the concentration of the load is suppressed, the occurrence of bending and the deformation of the metal plate constituting the side surface of the storage are prevented, and the metal plate Cost reduction and weight reduction were possible by thinning.

  However, as a result of further studies by the inventors, it has been found that when the kick is formed by providing the inclined portion as described above, the upper portion of the kick becomes a dead space in the foot storage. That is, when the kick is formed by a square notch as in the prior art, the upper portion of the kick becomes a flat surface (bottom surface) inside the foot storage having a shape corresponding to the notch. For this reason, a to-be-contained object can be mounted and accommodated also in the upper part of the kick inside the foot storage. On the other hand, when the kick is configured by the inclined portion, the upper portion of the kick is an inclined surface inside the foot storage having a shape corresponding to the inclination. For this reason, an object to be stored cannot be placed on the upper portion of the kick inside the foot storage, and a dead space is generated, which leads to a reduction in the storage space.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention can effectively utilize the space above it even when the kick is formed by the inclined portion, and the metal plate can be made thin while securing a sufficient storage space. It aims at providing the storage which can achieve cost reduction and weight reduction.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a typical configuration of a storage according to the present invention is a storage that includes at least a foot storage that is a slide-type drawer that is disposed near the floor and can store a storage object. The body portion that accommodates the drawer 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 drawer has a front edge of the body portion in a side view. A front portion along the front portion, a bent portion that is continuous with the front portion toward the rear, and a kicking portion that is continuous with the bent portion and extends along the inclined portion, and a front plate constituting the front surface of the drawer, and a kick in the inside of the drawer And a partition plate standing upwards in the vicinity of the rear end of the recessed portion.

  According to the above configuration, the partition plate partitions the space above the kick-in portion and the other space (the space behind the kick-in portion), so the space above the kick-in portion is used as a pocket. In addition, the objects to be stored can be stored. Thereby, in the front plate, the space above the kicked portion should be effectively utilized even when the kicked portion along the inclined portion of the main body portion is a slope, in other words, when it is not a flat bottom surface. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the thickness and cost of the metal plate while securing a sufficient storage space.

  The drawer further includes a bottom plate constituting the bottom surface of the drawer, two side plates constituting the side surface of the drawer, and a connecting member that covers the end surface of the front plate and is connected to the front end of the side plate, Is preferably attached to the connecting member. According to this structure, even if it is a drawer | drawer whose front end of a side plate is not directly connected to a front plate, a partition plate can be arrange | positioned suitably and the advantage mentioned above can be enjoyed.

  When either one of the inner surface of the connecting member or the side surface of the partition plate has a convex portion that protrudes toward the other, the other has a concave portion into which the convex portion is inserted. Good. Thereby, the partition plate can be easily attached by simply inserting the convex portion into the concave portion, and removal is also easy.

  According to the present invention, even when the kick is formed by the inclined portion, the space above it can be used effectively, and the metal plate can be thinned and thus reduced in cost and weight while ensuring a sufficient storage space. It is possible to provide a storage that can achieve the conversion.

(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, since the kicks 102 can be provided integrally with both side surfaces of the main body 200, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced as compared with the conventional configuration in which the kicks are provided by a pedestal (pedestal). Can be achieved. 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). It is AA sectional drawing, and FIG.4 (c) is sectional drawing which shows the state which attached the partition plate 320 mentioned later to the foot storage 136 shown in FIG.4 (b). 5A is a rear perspective view of FIG. 5A, FIG. 5A shows a state before the partition plate 320 is attached, and FIG. 5B shows a state after the partition plate 320 is attached. . 4B and 4C exemplify and explain the left side of the foot storage 136, it goes without saying that the right side also has the same configuration in a bilaterally symmetrical manner.

  As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A, the foot storage 136 includes a front plate 302 constituting the front surface, two side plates 304a and 304b constituting the side surface, a bottom plate 306 constituting the bottom surface, And a back plate 308 constituting the back surface. 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 FIG. 4, the front plate 302 has a front part 302a along the front edge 202a of the main body part 200 (see FIG. 3A) in order from the top in the side view, and is continuously rearward of the front part 302a. It has a bent part 302b that faces, and a kick part 302c that continues to the bent part 302b and extends along the inclined part 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.

  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, when the inclined portions 206a and 206b and the kick-in portion 302c are provided in the main body 200 and the foot storage 136 as in the present embodiment, the upper portion of the kick 102 (the kick-in portion 302c) is provided inside the foot storage 136. ) Is an inclined surface. For this reason, an object to be stored cannot be placed on that portion, and a dead space is generated, resulting in a reduction in the storage space.

  Therefore, as a most characteristic feature of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a partition plate 320 erected upward in the vicinity of the rear end of the kick-in portion 302 c inside the foot storage 136 (the lowermost drawer). Is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the partition plate 320 is attached to the connection members 310a and 310b constituting the inner surface of the foot storage 136 near the rear end of the kick-in portion 302c. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, a convex portion 312 b is formed on the inner surface of the connection member 310 b so as to go to the inside of the foot storage 136 (project toward the partition plate 320). Although not shown in FIG. 5 (a), a similar convex portion is formed in the connection member 310a.

  On the other hand, the partition plate 320 has a structure in which two partition portions 322a and 322b are connected by a rib (see FIG. 4C). And the recessed part 324 which the side surface and the bottom face opened by the clearance gap between the two partition parts 322a and 322b is formed in the corner below the both ends of the partition plate 320 (refer Fig.5 (a) enlarged view in a circle). ). The convex portions 312b of the connecting members 310a and 310b can be inserted into the concave portions 324.

  According to the above configuration, when the partition plate 320 is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 5A, the projections 312b of the connection members 310a and 310b are formed into the recesses 324 of the partition plate 320 as shown in FIG. The partition plate 320 can be erected in the foot storage 136 as shown in FIG. Further, the partition plate 320 can be detached from the foot storage 136 by simply moving the partition plate 320 upward from the state shown in FIG. Therefore, the attaching and removing operations of the partition plate 320 are easy, and the assembly and cleaning are easy. In addition, since the user can select whether or not the partition plate 320 is attached, the convenience can be improved.

  By attaching the partition plate 320 as shown in FIG. 5B, in the foot storage 136, the space 136a above the kicking portion 302c (see FIG. 4B) and the other space 136b (kicking) The space behind the portion 302c is partitioned by the partition plate 320. For this reason, it is possible to store an object to be stored (not shown) by using the space 136a above the kicking portion 302c as a pocket. Therefore, according to the storage (base cabinet 130) according to the present embodiment, in the front plate 302, the kicked portions 302c along the inclined portions 206a and 206b of the main body portion 200 are inclined (a flat bottom surface). The space 136a above the kick-in portion 302c can be used effectively, and the metal plate constituting the main body 200 can be thinned and the cost can be reduced while securing a sufficient storage space. And it becomes possible to achieve weight reduction.

  In the present embodiment, the convex portions 312b and the concave portions 324 are provided on the connection members 310a and 310b and the concave portion 324, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an opposite configuration is also possible. Further, the partition plate 320 is not necessarily attached to the connection members 310a and 310b. When the front plate 302 and the side plates 304a and 304b are directly connected without providing the connection members 310a and 310b, the partition plate 320 is attached to the side plate 304a. And it is good also as a structure attached to 304b.
