Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen rack that effectively utilizes a cooking space in a kitchen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when cooking in a kitchen, in order to season the ingredients, the seasoning is mixed with the ingredients for cooking on the cooking table, or the seasoning is put in a pan while cooking with a gas stove. I put it in. It is usually desired that the container containing the seasoning used in this way be placed at a position easily accessible during cooking.

In addition, cooking is often carried out using a plurality of pots, and there is a case where a pot cooked on a gas stove is temporarily dismissed from the gas stove and another pot is cooked on the gas stove. In this case, the pot that has been temporarily dismissed from the fire of the gas stove is often placed on the pot laying on the cooktop so that the cooktop is not damaged by heat.

[0004]

However, in many cases, the temperature of the upper surface of the gas stove and the cooking table around the gas stove is rising due to the fire of the gas stove, and the seasoning or the like is provided near the gas stove (a familiar position). When a container made of resin is placed, it may be deformed by the heat of the gas stove, so such a container is often placed away from the fire source such as a cooking table. As a result, while trying to put the seasoning in a pan cooked on a gas stove, broth and the like may be blown out while taking a container placed on a cooking table or the like, which may hinder the progress of cooking.

Further, even if it is necessary to temporarily remove the pan that had been exposed to the gas stove from the fire and re-apply it to the fire of the gas stove, an exhaust port for the grill is provided on the upper surface of the gas stove, or a cooktop. In many cases, there was a step between the gas stove and the gas stove, so the pan to be boiled had to be placed at a remote place such as a cooking table. In addition, when cooking with a plurality of large pots, it was sometimes impossible to secure a space for placing these pots.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to effectively utilize the space such as the upper surface of the gas stove that is not used for cooking and the cooking stove around the gas stove whose temperature rises due to the fire of the gas stove, and at the same time during heating and cooking. It is an object of the invention to provide a kitchen rack in which containers and pots containing seasonings can be placed and taken without leaving the side of the gas stove.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems,
As described in claim 1, the kitchen rack according to the present invention has two or more legs 1 each having a gap 5 having an opening 4 at the top thereof, and a part of the leg 1 in the gap 5. A table 2 which is inserted and stands up, and the table 2 which is inserted into the gap 5 and stands up is pulled up,
An article can be placed on the table 2 by tilting the table 2 on the leg 1.

Since the two or more legs 1 of the kitchen rack constructed as described above are separate from each other, they can be arranged at arbitrary intervals within a range corresponding to the size of the table 1. Thereby, the legs 1 can be arranged at intervals according to the mounting surface on which the legs are mounted. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the upper portion of the exhaust port of the grill or the like arranged on the upper surface of the gas stove on which the article could not be placed until now. Specifically, two or more legs 1 are arranged so as to sandwich the exhaust port, and a table 2 attached to the legs 1 is arranged.

Further, since the table 2 is tilted on the leg 1, a gap is formed between the table 2 and the placing surface on which the leg 1 is placed, and the temperature rise of the table 2 on which the article is placed is prevented. It is also possible to place on the table 2 a container of seasoning, which may have been deformed due to an increase in ambient temperature due to the fire of the gas stove. Therefore, even while cooking with a gas stove, it is possible to take a pot or a container containing seasonings without leaving the side of the gas stove.

Further, when the tilted table 2 is in the way using a large pot or the like, the table 2 is erected and a part of the table 2 in that state is inserted into the leg 1 to insert the table 2 If you keep standing, the table 2 will not get in the way.

Further, as described in claim 2, the table 2 is inserted into a placing plate 16 on which an article is placed and the gap portion 5 formed along one end of the placing plate 16. Each of the two or more legs 1 includes a mounting portion 8 on which the tilted table 2 is mounted, and a pair of standing portions 6 that form the gap portion 5. , 7 and the opening 4 formed at one end of the pair of standing portions 6, 7 is narrowed so as to prevent the locking portion 3 from coming off. By doing so, the engaging portion 3 of the table 2 and the opening 4 of the leg 1 engage with each other, so that the table 2
When the table is tilted, the engaging portion serves as a fulcrum and the table 2 can be tilted smoothly.

Further, when the table 2 is tilted, the locking portion 3 is engaged with the opening portion 4, so that it is not necessary to position the table 2. Therefore, the table 2 has the legs 1
All that is required is to tilt the table 2 until it abuts. Further, since the gap portion 5 is formed by the pair of standing portions 6 and 7, when the table 2 is not used or when the table 2 is an obstacle, the table 2 is erected and the table 2 is locked. The part 3 and a part of the mounting plate 16 near the locking part 3 are inserted between the pair of standing parts 6 and 7 of the leg 1, that is, in the gap part 5 so as to maintain the standing of the table 2. Then, the table 2 will not get in the way. Further, even if the table 2 is arranged on the exhaust port of the grill of the gas stove and the gap is formed by the leg 1 between the cover and the exhaust port even if the grill is used, the combustion of the grill may be affected. Absent. Further, when the heat of the grill is increased and the temperature of the exhaust gas becomes high, the table 2 can be prevented from rising in temperature by raising the table 2 and inserting it inside the leg 1. It is possible to obtain the same exhaust efficiency as in the case of not arranging.

Further, as described in claim 3, the engaging portion 3 of the table 2 is a columnar body, and at least one of the pair of standing portions 6 and 7 of the leg 1 has a standing portion 6 thereof.
However, it may be curved in an arc shape on the other standing portion 7 side. With this configuration, when the table 2 is tilted, the outer peripheral surface of the columnar body slides on the opening 4 formed by the pair of standing portions 6 and 7, and the table 2 can be tilted smoothly. You can That is, by bending at least one of the upright portions 6 toward the other upright portion 7 side, the opening 4 is inserted from the inside of the gap 5.
Is narrowed, the opening 4 formed by the pair of uprights 6 and 7
It is possible to slide the outer peripheral surface of the locking portion 3 while preventing the locking portion 3 from coming off. In addition, the gap 5
Since the distance is such that the locking portion 3 can be inserted, the columnar body that is the locking portion 3 can be inserted in the back of the gap portion 5. In other words, the leg 1 is made so that the engaging portion 3 of the standing table 2 and a part near the engaging portion 3 are dropped downward.
It can be interpolated inside (between the pair of standing portions 6 and 7).
