Less likely to penetrate That is, for example, the liquid spilled on the upper surface of the top plate 2 flows forward on the upper surface of the top plate 2 and flows down the front hanging portion 22. This liquid may flow down the decorative member 23 and fall on the upper surface 32 of the front end 31 of the storage furniture 3. The liquid that has fallen on the upper surface 32 of the front end portion 31 of the storage furniture 3 flows rearward on the upper surface 32 of the front end portion 31 of the storage furniture 3, and may enter the interior of the kitchen apparatus 1. The sealing piece 72 of FIG. 7 prevents further intrusion of the liquid. As described above, with the simple configuration of the sealing member 7, penetration of the liquid from the gap 10 is suppressed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the outlet 6 is provided at the upper end of the storage furniture 3, and the sealing piece 72 is in contact with the upper surface of the eaves 63. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the liquid from entering and reaching the back side of the outlet section 6.

  Further, in the first embodiment, since the sealing piece 72 is provided so as to be located on the front side as it goes downward, it is possible to further suppress the liquid from entering the kitchen apparatus 1 from the gap 10. Can be

  Further, in the first embodiment, since the groove 65 is provided on the upper surface of the eave portion 63, the intrusion of the liquid from the gap 10 into the interior of the kitchen apparatus 1 is further suppressed.

  In addition, in the first embodiment, since the weir 66 is provided on the upper surface of the eaves 63, the intrusion of the liquid into the interior of the kitchen apparatus 1 from the gap 10 is further suppressed.

  Next, a kitchen apparatus 1A according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the kitchen apparatus 1A of the second embodiment is almost the same as the kitchen apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the same components will be described using the same reference numerals with "A" added to the end of the same reference numerals. The description is omitted, and mainly different configurations will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the upper surface 32 of the front end portion 31 of the storage furniture 3 with which the sealing piece 72 contacts is the upper surface of the outlet 6 provided in the storage furniture 3. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the upper surface 32A of the front end 31A of the storage furniture 3A with which the sealing piece 72A contacts is the upper surface of the door 43A.
