Hereinafter, a storage rack for cooking utensils (hereinafter also simply referred to as a rack) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
The rack is for storing a cooking utensil having a bottomed utensil body. Here, the rack will be described by taking as an example the case of storing a frying pan as a cooking utensil having the bottomed utensil body.

[Rack configuration]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a rack according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the rack shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view of the rack shown in FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state where the frying pan is stored in the rack shown in FIG.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the rack 100 includes a rectangular frame body (rectangular frame body) 101 that functions as a base when installed, and a plurality of partition members 102 that are erected with respect to the frame body 101. .
The frame body 101 is made of resin for fixing the two opposing support members (frame portions) 101a and 101b for supporting the outer peripheral surface 31a of the frying pan 30 main body, and the support members 101a and 101b at a predetermined interval. It consists of two fixing members 101c.
Each of the support members 101a and 101b is a pair of two stainless steel rods, and both ends of each rod are fixed to a fixing member 101c.

The rack 100 includes a plurality of partition members 102, and each partition member 102 has the same shape. The partition member 102 is attached to the support members 101a and 101b of the frame body 101 so as to be movable in a direction along the support members 101a and 101b of the frame body 101 (left and right direction in FIG. 2).
The partition member 102 includes a connecting member 103 for detachably attaching the partition member 102 to the frame body 101, and a support member 104 for supporting the bottom surface 31 b of the frying pan 30 fixed to the connecting member 103.
The connecting member 103 is a resin member provided with a recess that fits into each of the support members 101a and 101b, which are a pair of two rods, and is a member that can move along the support members 101a and 101b. Yes, each of the support members 101a and 101b is fitted.
Since the partition member 102 is movable, the space | interval of each partition member can be adjusted according to the size of cooking utensils, such as a frying pan accommodated. Therefore, cooking utensils can be efficiently stored in the rack 100. Moreover, it becomes easy to store cooking utensils.

  The support member 104 is a member formed by bending a wire made of stainless steel. The support member 104 has two column portions 104a and 104b whose lower ends are fixed to the connecting member 103 and are erected in the vertical direction, and beam portions 104c provided so as to connect the upper ends of the column portions 104a and 104b. The beam portion 104c is bent so as to have a downward convex shape. Accordingly, the support member 104 has a substantially M-shaped side view (see FIG. 3).

  In the rack 100, as shown in FIG. 2, when the partition member 102 is viewed from the direction in which the column portions 104a and 104b overlap, the beam portion 104c is inclined with respect to the column portions 104a and 104b. That is, the virtual plane including the beam portion 104c is inclined with respect to the virtual plane including the two column portions 104a and 104b.

As shown in FIG. 4, the frying pan 30 can be stored in the rack 100 in a vertical direction (a direction in which the bottom surface 31 b of the frying pan main body 31 faces a substantially vertical direction).
When the frying pan 30 is stored vertically in the rack 100, the frying pan 30 is stood against one partition member 102 between the two partition members 102. At this time, the supporting members 101a and 101b of the frame body 101 support the side surface 31a of the frying pan body 31 and support the bottom surface 31b of the frying pan body 31 by the supporting member 104 (beam portion 104c). It is stored so that 32 faces upward. When the frying pan 30 is accommodated in this way, the frying pan 30 can be accommodated easily and stably by adjusting the interval between the two partition members 102.

Such a rack 100 can enjoy the following effects.
FIG. 5 is a front view for explaining a state when the frying pan is taken out from the rack 100. Fig.6 (a) is a front view for demonstrating the state at the time of taking out a frying pan from the storage rack for conventional cooking utensils, (b) is a side view of (a).

When taking out the frying pan 30 stored vertically in the rack 100, as shown in FIG. 5, the frying pan 30 is taken out from the rack 100 by grasping the handle 32 of the frying pan 30 and pulling it up.
At this time, in the rack 100, since the beam portion 104c of the support member 104 is inclined with respect to the column portions 104a and 104b, the edge of the main body 31 of the frying pan 30 is caught by the beam portion 104c when the frying pan 30 is pulled up. The frying pan 30 can be taken out smoothly.

On the other hand, in the conventional rack 200, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the beam portion 204c of the support member 204 is not inclined with respect to the column portions 204a and 204b, and the column portions 204a and 204b overlap. When the partition member 202 is viewed from the direction, the beam portion 204c is provided at a position overlapping the column portions 204a and 204b.
Therefore, in the rack 200, when the frying pan 30 is pulled upward in order to take out the frying pan 30 stored vertically, the edge of the main body 31 of the frying pan 30 has a tip portion of the beam portion 204c having a downwardly convex shape ( 6 (b) (see A), the smooth removal of the frying pan 30 may be hindered.
Thus, in the rack 100, since the partition member 102 (support member 104) has the shape described above, the stored frying pan 30 can be taken out more smoothly than the conventional rack.

In the rack 100, the angle (θ in FIG. 2) formed by the column portions 104a and 104b and the beam portion 104c may be larger than 0 °, and preferably 5 to 10 °.
If the said angle exists in the range of 5-10 degrees, while cooking utensils, such as a frying pan, can be accommodated vertically, a frying pan etc. can be taken out smoothly at the time of taking out.
On the other hand, when the angle is less than 5 °, the pan is caught when the frying pan or the like is taken out, and the smooth taking out of the frying pan or the like may be hindered. If the angle exceeds 10 °, the distance (see L in FIG. 2) between the virtual surface including the two pillar portions 104a and 104b and the apex portion convex under the beam portion 104c increases. Therefore, the space between the partition members 102 needs to be widened, and the space that can be used for storing frying pans is reduced. As a result, the number of cooking utensils such as frying pans that can be stored with respect to the width is reduced. Therefore, efficient storage in a small space may be hindered.
