DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a storage cabinet 1 such as a kitchen knife according to this embodiment is, for example, adjacent to a side of a sink having a knee space formed so that a cooking operation can be performed while sitting in a wheelchair. The cabinet main body 2 has an opening 4 on the front surface, and a drawer body 3 that is disposed so as to be able to be pulled out from the cabinet main body 2.

The cabinet body 2 is formed so that its depth dimension is the same as that of another cabinet such as an adjacent sink.

The drawer body 3 has a drawer body 5 having a substantially U-shaped planar shape, and a blade housing fitted slidably in the front-rear direction of the drawer body 5 and detachably. A body 6 and a stopper body 9 made of an elastic body having projections 7 and 8 which are detachably mounted on the front side of the blade storage body 6 and come into contact with a handle such as a kitchen knife.

A head plate 11 to which a handle 10 is attached is attached to a front plate portion 17 of the drawer main body 5 in a unified design and color tone with a head plate (not shown) of another cabinet. On the side wall 12 of the main body 5,
Rail receivers 15, 15 slidably fitted to slide rails 14, 14 attached to the inner wall surface 13 of the cabinet body 2 are fixed.

The open side 16 of the drawer body 5 is formed one step higher than the bottom of the drawer body 5 and functions as a water receiver so that water dropped from the kitchen knife does not flow down to the floor. It is configured to be. Incidentally, reference numeral 2 in the figure
1 is a back plate of the drawer body 5.

On the other hand, the blade housing 6 has a blade holder 19 having a plurality of (four in the illustrated embodiment) blade housing grooves 18 formed in a vertical direction, and a blade holder 19. Holder 1
A plate-like stopper body holding portion 20 extending forward from 9
The stopper body 9 is configured to be attached to the stopper body holding portion 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the depth of the blade housing 6 thus formed is shorter than the distance between the front plate 17 and the back plate 21 of the drawer body 5. At the same time, the open-side lower portion 19a of the blade portion holding portion 19 is cut out in a substantially inverted L-shape to form a step, and the step is engaged with the open side 16 of the drawer main body 5. In addition, the blade housing 6 is configured so as not to fall out carelessly. As described above, by forming the depth of the blade portion housing 6 shorter than the distance between the front plate portion 17 and the back plate 21 of the drawer body 5, the blade portion housing is adapted to the length of the blade portion. 6
Can be adjusted by sliding in the front-rear direction, and the usability is improved.

In this embodiment, each of the blade storage grooves 18 is formed so as to have a downward slope in the left direction and a downward slope in the depth direction. The portion _HA is formed so as to be inserted and removed. Of course, in the present invention, the blade portion accommodation groove 1
The configuration of 8 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the point is that the configuration is such that the blade _HA of the kitchen knife H or the like is inclined in a direction in which it does not come off. In addition, the number of blade storage grooves 18 is also one.
The number of stages is not particularly limited as long as the number of stages is equal to or greater than the number of stages.

Further, the stopper body 9 is provided in FIGS.
As is clear from FIG.
Has a handle H _B and the convex portions 7 and 8 of the abutment to Article 2, the recess 22 formed between the convex portions 7 and 8, the blade portion housing groove 18
Is formed so as to function as insertion gap of the finger when gripping the handle H _B of the housing have been knife like H in.

If the stopper 9 is not provided,
Is pattern H _B of knife like H moves in the direction indicated by FIG. 2 arrow by vibration or the like due to loading and unloading of the drawer body 5, thereby it blade portion H _A there is a concern fall out blade portion housing groove 18, this embodiment as in, to form a convex portion 7,8 of Article 2 the stopper member 9, by the protrusions 7 and 8 contact pattern H _B and the point of knife, such as H, vibration or the like due to loading and unloading of the drawer body 5 it is possible to prevent the movement of handle H _B of knife like H, knife, etc. H to restrict the inadvertent dropping from the blade portion housing groove 18 by. Of course, this convex portion, as in the illustrated embodiment,
It is not always necessary to use two ridges, and even if it is constituted only by the convex portion 7 on the front side, falling off of the kitchen knife H can be sufficiently prevented.

In the above embodiment, the case where the storage cabinet such as the kitchen knife according to the present invention is formed separately from the sink is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention may be applied to a side portion of a knee space of a sink to form a storage portion such as a kitchen knife.

[0017]

As described above, in the storage cabinet for kitchen knives and the like according to the present invention, the drawer body which is arranged to be able to be pulled out from the cabinet main body is formed in a substantially U-shape in plan view. A drawer body, a blade storage body fitted slidably in the front-rear direction of the drawer body, and a convex portion that comes into contact with a handle such as a kitchen knife detachably disposed on the front side of the blade storage body. And a stopper body having at least one or more blade section storage grooves that are inclined in a direction in which a handle of a kitchen knife or the like does not come off, and the protrusion of the stopper body is formed as described above. The knife is designed to protrude so that it comes into point contact with the handle of the kitchen knife stored in the blade storage groove. Yes, for example, while sitting in a wheelchair Excellent effects etc. are convenient can make out the knife easily.
