However, in the above structure, when using a towel, the door 1 should be opened before washing the hands, or the door 1 should be opened with a wet hand and then the towel 4 should be used. There is a problem that it is very inconvenient for cooking work in which the hands have to be wiped and the hands are often wetted during the work.

Therefore, the present invention provides a kitchen furniture in which towels are normally stored in a cabinet so that they cannot be seen from the outside, and the towels can be used without opening and closing the door when the towels are used, which dramatically improves the convenience of use. It is provided.

Means for Solving Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a retracting mechanism inside a cabinet having an opening on one surface, and a towel or the like can be hung on one end of the retracting mechanism. It is configured to attach a hook.

Action The action of this technical means is as follows.

That is, one end of the towel hung on the hook is stored in a state of being placed near the opening of the cabinet.When using the towel, insert your hand slightly into the cabinet through the cabinet opening and grasp the end of the towel. When pulled outward, the towel hook is attached to the retracting mechanism,
The towel comes out under tension. In this state, wipe your hands with a towel, and when you are finished using them, release your hands and the towels will be naturally stored in the cabinet by the retracting mechanism.

That is, the towel stored in the cabinet can be used without opening and closing the door.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes a wooden cabinet, an opening 7 is provided in a bottom surface 6 thereof, and a door 10 is attached to a front surface 8 via a hinge 9 so as to be openable and closable. Inside of door 10
11 and a side plate 12 of the cabinet 5 are provided with a catch 13 that can hold the door 10 in a closed state. A retracting mechanism such as a tension spring (hereinafter referred to as a tension spring) is fixed to the top plate 14 of the cabinet 5, and the other end of the tension spring 15 has a substantially triangular hook having an opening 16 in a part thereof. 17 is attached, and a towel 19 can be hung on the bottom 18 of the hook 17 through the opening 16.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described.
The door 10 is closed with the towel 19 hanging on the bottom 18 of the hanging member 17. In this case, the lower end 20 of the towel 19 is held in a state of being located near the opening 7 of the bottom surface 6 of the cabinet 5 and is invisible from the outside (FIG. 3). If you wipe your wet hands,
A little hand from the opening 7 of the cabinet 5
When the towel 19 is attached to the tension spring 15 through the hook 17, the lower end 20 of the towel 19 is grasped and pulled outward, so that the towel 19 comes out with tension applied ( (Fig. 4). When the towel 19 is wiped in this state and the hand is released after the use, the towel is naturally stored in the cabinet 5 by the tensile force of the tension spring 15.

It is preferable that the towel 19 used here has a loop shape as shown in FIG. 2 in order to prevent the towel 19 from being accidentally detached from the hanging member 17. Further, in the above embodiment, the tension spring was illustrated as the retracting mechanism, but this is shown as the best example of the retracting mechanism, and it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to this.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the description of the embodiments, the present invention normally stores a towel so that it cannot be seen from the outside, and can be easily used without opening and closing the door when using the towel. In addition to improving the aesthetics of the kitchen equipment as a whole, it is possible to dramatically improve the convenience of use.
