また、既述の操作器６はプッシュオープン式のものである。これを実現するために、厨房装置１は、収納した操作器６を係脱自在に係止する係止手段と、操作器６を前方に突出する駆動源として付勢手段を備えている。 The above-described operating device 6 is a push-open type. In order to realize this, the kitchen apparatus 1 includes a locking unit that detachably locks the stored operation device 6 and a biasing device that uses the operation device 6 as a drive source that projects forward.

係止手段は収納した操作器６の後方に配設されるラッチ３０（図１参照）で構成されている。ラッチ３０は操作器収納部９に配設され、操作器６の左右中央部から後方に突出するストライク３１に係脱自在に係止される。 The locking means is constituted by a latch 30 (see FIG. 1) disposed behind the stored operating device 6. The latch 30 is disposed in the operation device storage portion 9 and is detachably locked to a strike 31 protruding rearward from the left and right center portion of the operation device 6.

図９に示すようにラッチ３０は、ベース１０の左右方向の中央部に立設したラッチ取付部１５（図１参照）に取付けられる収納体３２と、収納体３２に前後スライド自在に収納した可動体３３を備えている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the latch 30 includes a storage body 32 that is attached to a latch mounting portion 15 (see FIG. 1) that is erected at the center in the left-right direction of the base 10, and a movable body that is slidably stored in the storage body 32. A body 33 is provided.

可動体３３は弾性変形可能な係止爪部３５を備えている。可動体３３の側面には略ハート形のハート形溝３８とハート形溝３８に囲まれたハート形カム３９を形成している。 The movable body 33 includes a locking claw portion 35 that can be elastically deformed. A substantially heart-shaped groove 38 and a heart-shaped cam 39 surrounded by the heart-shaped groove 38 are formed on the side surface of the movable body 33.

一方、収納体３２の内底面の開口側の端部は後方程上方に向かって傾斜したガイド面３４となっている。収納体３２内の奥部にはピン３７を左右軸回りに枢支してあり、ピン３７の被枢支部と反対側の端部は側方に折り曲げられて係合部３７ａとなっている。係合部３７ａはハート形溝３８にスライド自在に挿入してある。また、収納体３２には可動体３３を前方に突出する駆動力を付勢するためのばね３６を設けている。 On the other hand, the end of the inner bottom surface of the storage body 32 on the opening side is a guide surface 34 that is inclined upward toward the rear. A pin 37 is pivotally supported around the left and right axis in the inner portion of the storage body 32, and an end portion of the pin 37 opposite to the pivoted support portion is bent sideways to form an engaging portion 37a. The engaging portion 37a is slidably inserted into the heart-shaped groove 38. In addition, the storage body 32 is provided with a spring 36 for biasing a driving force that projects the movable body 33 forward.

図９（ｂ）に示す係止状態においては、収納体３２の後部に可動体３３が位置する。この時、ハート形カム３９の前方に開口する凹所にピン３７の係合部３７ａが係止され、可動体３３は前方へ移動不能となる。また、係止爪部３５は収納体３２の内面によって上方に押圧されて、ストライク３１の膨大した先端部３１ａに係止され、これによりストライク３１、ひいては操作器６が前方に移動不能に保持される。 In the locked state shown in FIG. 9B, the movable body 33 is located at the rear part of the storage body 32. At this time, the engaging portion 37a of the pin 37 is locked in the recess opening forward of the heart-shaped cam 39, and the movable body 33 cannot move forward. Further, the locking claw portion 35 is pressed upward by the inner surface of the storage body 32 and is locked to the enormous tip portion 31a of the strike 31, whereby the strike 31, and thus the operating device 6 is held immovably forward. The

上記係止状態を解除するには手で操作器６を若干量後方に押し込む。これにより、可動体３３はストライク３１の先端部３１ａにて後方に押圧され、ばね３６に抗して若干量後方に移動する。また、これに伴い、ピン３７の係合部３７ａは矢印ａのようにハート形カム３９から外れ、可動体３３が後方へ移動可能な状態となる。そして、この状態で操作器６を前方に移動すれば、可動体３３はばね３６の付勢力を受けて前方に移動し、図９（ａ）のように収納体３２の前部に移動する。この時、ピン３７の係合部３７ａは図９（ｂ）の矢印ｂに示すようにハート形溝３８内を後方に移動し、ハート形溝３８の後端部の退避位置４０へと移動する。 To release the locked state, the operator 6 is pushed backward a little by hand. As a result, the movable body 33 is pressed rearward by the tip 31 a of the strike 31, and moves slightly backward against the spring 36. As a result, the engaging portion 37a of the pin 37 is disengaged from the heart-shaped cam 39 as indicated by the arrow a, and the movable body 33 is movable backward. If the operating device 6 is moved forward in this state, the movable body 33 receives the urging force of the spring 36 and moves forward, and moves to the front portion of the storage body 32 as shown in FIG. At this time, the engaging portion 37a of the pin 37 moves backward in the heart-shaped groove 38 as shown by the arrow b in FIG. 9B, and moves to the retracted position 40 at the rear end portion of the heart-shaped groove 38. .

図９（ａ）のように可動体３３が移動すれば、係止爪部３５には収納体３２の内面からの押圧力が加わらない状態となり、これにより係止爪部３５は弾性復帰してガイド面３４側に移動し、係止爪部３５とストライク３１の係止が解除される。 If the movable body 33 moves as shown in FIG. 9A, the latching claw portion 35 is not subjected to a pressing force from the inner surface of the storage body 32, whereby the latching claw portion 35 is elastically restored. Moving to the guide surface 34 side, the locking claw portion 35 and the strike 31 are unlocked.

上記係止解除状態から図９（ｂ）の係止状態とするには操作器６を後方に押し込む。操作器６が後方に押し込まれた時、可動体３３はストライク３１の先端部３１ａにて後方に押圧され、ばね３６に抗して後部に移動し、前述の係止状態となる。また、これに伴いピン３７の係合部３７ａは退避位置４０からハート形溝３８内を矢印ｃ、ｄに示すように移動し、ハート形カム３９に係止される。 To change from the unlocked state to the locked state of FIG. 9B, the operating device 6 is pushed backward. When the operating device 6 is pushed rearward, the movable body 33 is pushed rearward by the tip 31a of the strike 31, moves to the rear against the spring 36, and is in the above-described locked state. Accordingly, the engaging portion 37 a of the pin 37 moves from the retracted position 40 in the heart-shaped groove 38 as indicated by arrows c and d and is locked to the heart-shaped cam 39.

また、付勢手段は操作器収納部９の左右両側部分に設けた定荷重ばね２１で構成してある。 Further, the urging means is constituted by constant load springs 21 provided on the left and right side portions of the operating device storage portion 9.

図５に示すように各レール部材１３の前部の下部には正断面で上方に開口するコ字状のばね取付部１３ｅが一体に形成されている。ばね取付部１３ｅは、固定部１３ａの前部を後部よりも内側方に突出して幅広とした幅広部１３ｇと、幅広部１３ｇの内側端部から一体に立ち上げた対向部１３ｆと、立上部１３ｂの対向部１３ｆに対向する部分とで構成される。 As shown in FIG. 5, a U-shaped spring mounting portion 13 e that opens upward in a regular section is integrally formed at the lower portion of the front portion of each rail member 13. The spring mounting portion 13e includes a wide portion 13g that is wider by projecting the front portion of the fixed portion 13a to the inside than the rear portion, a facing portion 13f that is integrally raised from the inner end portion of the wide portion 13g, and an upright portion 13b. It is comprised by the part which opposes 13f of opposing parts.

各ばね取付部１３ｅの対向部１３ｆ及び立上部１３ｂ間にはドラム５４が架設され、このドラム５４に定荷重ばね２１の一端が接続される。定荷重ばね２１の他端はドラム５４の上端部から後方に引き出され、図５（ｂ）に示すように対応するローラー取付部１６の後部下面にねじ具１４ｂにより接続してある。 A drum 54 is installed between the facing portion 13f and the upright portion 13b of each spring mounting portion 13e, and one end of the constant load spring 21 is connected to the drum 54. The other end of the constant load spring 21 is drawn rearward from the upper end of the drum 54 and is connected to the lower surface of the rear portion of the corresponding roller mounting portion 16 by a screw 14b as shown in FIG.

上記両定荷重ばね２１により操作器６には前方に突出する駆動力が付勢される。従って、操作器収納部９に操作器６を収納した状態で、操作器６を若干後方に押し込んで上記係止手段による操作器６の係止を解除し、この後に手を離すことで、定荷重ばね２１の付勢力を受けて操作器６が前方に自動的にスライドし、図１や図４に示すように操作器６がキャビネット２の前面から前方に突出する。そして、これにより操作器６に設けた複数の操作スイッチ１８がキャビネット２よりも前方に位置し、調理器５を操作できる状態となる。 A driving force protruding forward is applied to the operating device 6 by the two constant load springs 21. Therefore, in a state where the operating device 6 is stored in the operating device storage portion 9, the operating device 6 is pushed slightly backward to release the locking of the operating device 6 by the locking means, and then the hand is released, The operating device 6 automatically slides forward under the urging force of the load spring 21, and the operating device 6 protrudes forward from the front surface of the cabinet 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. As a result, the plurality of operation switches 18 provided on the operation device 6 are positioned in front of the cabinet 2 and the cooker 5 can be operated.

また、操作器６を上記前方に突出させた状態から図２のように操作器収納部９に収納するには、操作器６を定荷重ばね２１の付勢力に抗して後方に押し込み、既述の係止手段により操作器６を係止する。なお、この収納状態では、操作器６の前面が収納状態にある引き出し１２の前板部１２ａの前面と略面一となる。 In order to store the operating device 6 in the operating device storage section 9 as shown in FIG. 2 from the state in which the operating device 6 protrudes forward, the operating device 6 is pushed backward against the urging force of the constant load spring 21, The operating device 6 is locked by the locking means described above. In this storage state, the front surface of the operating device 6 is substantially flush with the front surface of the front plate portion 12a of the drawer 12 in the storage state.

上記各定荷重ばね２１はコイルばねのようなばねと比較して引き出される距離にかかわらず一定の出力を有するものである。このため、操作器６を操作器収納部９に収納する際の押し込み力や、操作器６を操作器収納部９から前方に突出させる際の速度を略一定にすることができる。 Each of the constant load springs 21 has a constant output regardless of the distance drawn compared to a spring such as a coil spring. For this reason, the pushing force when the operating device 6 is stored in the operating device storage portion 9 and the speed at which the operating device 6 protrudes forward from the operating device storage portion 9 can be made substantially constant.

また、厨房装置１は、操作器６の両側端部の前後方向の移動を連携させる連動手段と、操作器６の前後スライド時において抵抗となる緩衝手段を備えている。連動手段は、操作器収納部９の左右両側部分に設けられて操作器６の左右両側に配置される回動体２４と両回動体２４を連結する連結用部材２５とで構成される。緩衝手段はダンパ２３により構成される。 In addition, the kitchen apparatus 1 includes interlocking means for coordinating movements in the front-rear direction of both side ends of the operation device 6 and buffer means that acts as resistance when the operation device 6 slides back and forth. The interlocking means includes a rotating body 24 that is provided on both the left and right sides of the operating device storage portion 9 and is disposed on the left and right sides of the operating device 6, and a connecting member 25 that connects the rotating bodies 24. The buffer means is constituted by a damper 23.

図４に示すように、操作器収納部９のベース１０の両レール部材１３よりも内側の左右２箇所には取付具２６を取り付けてあり、各取付具２６にダンパ２３及び回動体２４が取り付けられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, fixtures 26 are attached to the left and right two locations inside the rail members 13 of the base 10 of the operating unit storage portion 9, and a damper 23 and a rotating body 24 are attached to each fixture 26. It is done.

各取付具２６は第１ベース２７と第２ベース２８で構成してあり、第１ベース２７及び第２ベース２８は共に金属製である。 Each fixture 26 includes a first base 27 and a second base 28, and both the first base 27 and the second base 28 are made of metal.

第１ベース２７は正断面Ｌ字状のＬ字状部４２で主体を構成してあり、Ｌ字状部４２の横片部４２ａをベース１０の上面にねじ具１４ｃにより取り付けることで固定されている。Ｌ字状部４２の横片部４２ａの内側端部から立ち上げた縦片部４２ｂには縦片部４２ｂを貫通する筒状の軸受部４３を一体に形成してある。 The first base 27 is mainly composed of an L-shaped portion 42 having an L-shaped front section, and is fixed by attaching a horizontal piece portion 42a of the L-shaped portion 42 to the upper surface of the base 10 with a screw 14c. Yes. A cylindrical bearing portion 43 penetrating the vertical piece portion 42b is integrally formed with the vertical piece portion 42b raised from the inner end of the horizontal piece portion 42a of the L-shaped portion 42.

第２ベース２８は正面視上方に開口するコ字状に形成してある。第２ベース２８の底部２８ａは第１ベース２７の横片部４２ａの上面に載置され、該底部２８ａをねじ具１４ｄにより横片部２７ａを介してベース１０に取り付けることで、第２ベース２８はベース１０に取付けられる。 The second base 28 is formed in a U shape that opens upward in a front view. The bottom portion 28a of the second base 28 is placed on the upper surface of the horizontal piece portion 42a of the first base 27, and the bottom portion 28a is attached to the base 10 via the horizontal piece portion 27a by the screw tool 14d. Is attached to the base 10.

図６に示すように、コ字状の第２ベース２８の両側に立設した縦板部２８ｂ、２８ｃのうち、操作器収納部９の左右方向における内側に位置する縦板部２８ｂは第１ベース２７の縦片部４２ｂに対向している。縦板部２８ｂの内側軸受部４２ｃに対向する箇所には図示しない軸受部を形成している。また、第２ベース２８の外側に位置する縦板部２８ｃには上方に開口するダンパ配置用開口４４を形成している。 As shown in FIG. 6, among the vertical plate portions 28 b and 28 c erected on both sides of the U-shaped second base 28, the vertical plate portion 28 b positioned on the inner side in the left-right direction of the operation device storage portion 9 is the first. It faces the vertical piece 42b of the base 27. A bearing portion (not shown) is formed at a location facing the inner bearing portion 42c of the vertical plate portion 28b. In addition, a damper arrangement opening 44 that opens upward is formed in the vertical plate portion 28 c located outside the second base 28.

図７に示すように各回動体２４は主体部を棒状としたアームで構成してある。各回動体２４の長さ方向の一端部からは両側方に向けて筒状の回動軸部４５ａ、４５ｂを一体に突出している。図５等に示すように、両回動軸部４５ａ、４５ｂのうち、一方の回動軸部４５ａは第１ベース２７の軸受部４３に枢支され、他方の回動軸部４５ｂは第２ベース２８の前記軸受部に枢支され、これにより各回動体２４はその一端部の両側が支持された状態で左右軸回りに回動自在となっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, each rotating body 24 is composed of an arm whose main part is a rod. Cylindrical rotation shaft portions 45a and 45b project integrally from one end portion in the length direction of each rotation body 24 toward both sides. As shown in FIG. 5 and the like, of the rotating shaft portions 45a and 45b, one rotating shaft portion 45a is pivotally supported by the bearing portion 43 of the first base 27, and the other rotating shaft portion 45b is the second rotating shaft portion 45b. It is pivotally supported by the bearing portion of the base 28, whereby each rotating body 24 is rotatable around the left and right axis in a state where both sides of one end portion thereof are supported.

各回動体２４の一方の回動軸部４５ａの中心部（即ち、回動体２４の回動中心部）には内側方に向けて開口する連結用部材嵌込穴５１が形成され、他方の回動軸部４５ｂの回動中心部には外側方（ダンパ配置用開口４４側）に向けて開口する軸嵌込穴５０が形成されている。 A connecting member fitting hole 51 that opens inward is formed at the center of one rotating shaft portion 45a of each rotating body 24 (that is, the rotating center portion of the rotating body 24). A shaft insertion hole 50 is formed at the center of rotation of the shaft portion 45b so as to open toward the outside (on the damper placement opening 44 side).

また、回動軸部４５ａの外周部には回動軸部４５ａの外側と内側の連結用部材嵌込穴５１とを連通させるねじ挿通用開口５２を形成している。また、各回動体２４の回動中心と反対側の端部には外側方に向けて突出する摺動突起４６を一体に形成している。 In addition, a screw insertion opening 52 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rotation shaft portion 45a to allow communication between the outer side of the rotation shaft portion 45a and the inner connecting member fitting hole 51. In addition, a sliding protrusion 46 that projects outward is integrally formed at the end of each rotating body 24 opposite to the center of rotation.

図４等に示すように、前述の操作器６の後部両側端部から後方に突出する夫々のローラー取付部１６の内側端部にはガイド部材４７を設けている。該ガイド部材４７は操作器６の対応する側端部の前後動作に応じて回動体２４を回動させる回動手段を構成する。各ガイド部材４７の内側面には上下に長い摺動溝４８を形成してあり、摺動溝４８は内側方及び上方に向けて開口している。 As shown in FIG. 4 etc., the guide member 47 is provided in the inner side edge part of each roller attaching part 16 which protrudes back from the rear part both side edge part of the above-mentioned operation device 6. As shown in FIG. The guide member 47 constitutes a rotating means for rotating the rotating body 24 in accordance with the front-rear movement of the corresponding side end portion of the operating device 6. A long sliding groove 48 is formed on the inner side surface of each guide member 47, and the sliding groove 48 opens inward and upward.

各ガイド部材４７の摺動溝４８には対応する回動体２４の摺動突起４６を上下方向に摺動自在に挿入している。これにより、各回動体２４は操作器６の対応する側端部の前後動作に連携して左右軸回りに回動することとなる。 A corresponding sliding protrusion 46 of the rotating body 24 is inserted into the sliding groove 48 of each guide member 47 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. As a result, each rotating body 24 rotates around the left and right axis in cooperation with the front-rear movement of the corresponding side end of the operating device 6.

即ち、操作器６を操作器収納部９から前方に突出させた状態から後方に移動した場合には、各ローラー取付部１６に取付けたガイド部材４７が後方に移動し、これに伴って各回動体２４の摺動突起４６が摺動溝４８内を上下方向に摺動しつつガイド部材４７によって後側に押され、これにより回動体２４は後方へ回動する。なお、操作器６を上記係止手段により係止した収納状態にあっては、各回動体２４は回動中心から上斜め後方に向けて突出した状態となるよう設定されている。 That is, when the operating device 6 is moved rearward from the state in which the operating device 6 protrudes forward from the operating device storage portion 9, the guide member 47 attached to each roller mounting portion 16 moves rearward, and accordingly, each rotating body is moved. The 24 slide protrusions 46 are pushed rearward by the guide member 47 while sliding in the slide groove 48 in the vertical direction, whereby the rotating body 24 rotates backward. In the storage state in which the operating device 6 is locked by the locking means, each rotary body 24 is set to protrude upward and obliquely rearward from the rotation center.

逆に上記収納状態から操作器６が前方に移動した場合には、各回動体２４の摺動突起４６は摺動溝４８内を上下方向に摺動しつつガイド部材４７によって前側に押され、これにより回動体２４は前方へ回動する。なお、このように操作器６をキャビネット２から突出した際には、各回動体２４は回動中心から上斜め前方に向けて突出した状態となるよう設定されている。 On the other hand, when the operating device 6 moves forward from the storage state, the sliding protrusion 46 of each rotating body 24 is pushed forward by the guide member 47 while sliding in the sliding groove 48 in the vertical direction. As a result, the rotating body 24 rotates forward. In addition, when the operating device 6 protrudes from the cabinet 2 in this way, each rotating body 24 is set so as to protrude upward and obliquely forward from the center of rotation.

また、上記各取付具２６の第２ベース２８の縦板部２８ｃの外側面には図示しないねじ具によりダンパ２３を取付けている。ダンパ２３はロータリーダンパからなり、ダンパ配置用開口４４に配置され、既述の定荷重ばね２１の後方に位置する。 Further, a damper 23 is attached to the outer surface of the vertical plate portion 28c of the second base 28 of each of the attachments 26 with a screw tool (not shown). The damper 23 is composed of a rotary damper, and is disposed in the damper arrangement opening 44 and is located behind the constant load spring 21 described above.

各ダンパ２３の軸２３ａは内側方に向けて突出し、対応する回動体２４の軸嵌込穴５０に固定的に嵌め込んである。このため、既述のように操作器６の前後移動に伴い各回動体２４が前後に回動すると、各回動体２４に接続されたダンパ２３の軸２３ａが回動し、ダンパ２３が回動体２４の回動時の抵抗として機能し、操作器６の前後の移動速度が緩和される。従って、定荷重ばね２１の付勢力により操作器６が前方に異常に早い速度で突出することを防止できる。 The shaft 23a of each damper 23 protrudes inward and is fixedly fitted into the shaft fitting hole 50 of the corresponding rotating body 24. For this reason, as described above, when each rotating body 24 rotates back and forth in accordance with the back-and-forth movement of the operating device 6, the shaft 23 a of the damper 23 connected to each rotating body 24 rotates and the damper 23 moves to the rotating body 24. It functions as a resistance at the time of rotation, and the moving speed before and after the operation device 6 is reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the operating device 6 from protruding forward at an abnormally high speed due to the biasing force of the constant load spring 21.

また、上記両回動体２４の回動軸部４５ａ同士は連結用部材２５を介して連結されている。図６に示すように連結用部材２５は断面多角形状で左右に長尺な部材からなり、図示例では連結用部材２５を四角柱状に形成してある。該連結用部材２５の両端部は対応する回動体２４の前記連結用部材２５の断面形状と略同一形状に形成された連結用部材嵌込穴５１に固定的に嵌め込んである。 Further, the rotating shaft portions 45 a of the rotating bodies 24 are connected to each other through a connecting member 25. As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting member 25 has a polygonal cross section and is formed of a member that is long on the left and right. In the illustrated example, the connecting member 25 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape. Both end portions of the connecting member 25 are fixedly fitted into connecting member insertion holes 51 formed in substantially the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the connecting member 25 of the corresponding rotating body 24.

また、連結用部材２５の両端部には多角形状の連結用部材２５の平らな一面から開口するねじ孔５３を形成している。各ねじ孔５３には対応する回動体２４の回動軸部４５ａの外側からねじ挿通用開口５２を介して挿通するねじ具１４ｆを螺合してあり、該ねじ具１４ｆの頭部と前記連結用部材２５の平らな一面とで回動軸部４５ａの外周部を挟持固定している。 Further, screw holes 53 that open from one flat surface of the polygonal connecting member 25 are formed at both ends of the connecting member 25. Each screw hole 53 is screwed with a screw tool 14f inserted through the screw insertion opening 52 from the outer side of the rotating shaft portion 45a of the corresponding rotating body 24, and the head of the screw tool 14f is connected to the connecting portion. The outer peripheral portion of the rotation shaft portion 45a is sandwiched and fixed by the flat surface of the member 25 for use.

上記のように両回動体２４の回動軸部４５ａ同士を連結用部材２５を介して連結することで、操作器６が前後方向にスライドした場合には、両回動体２４は同期して前後に回動する。従って、操作器６の両側端部が連携して前後方向に移動し、操作器６の両側端部の前後位置が相対的にずれて操作器６が左右方向に対して傾くことを防止でき、操作器６をスムーズに前後方向にスライドさせることができる。特に操作器６を操作器収納部９に収納した状態においては、操作器６の長さ方向をキャビネット２の前面に対して確実に平行に配置でき、厨房装置１の外観を向上できる。 As described above, the rotating shafts 45a of the rotating bodies 24 are connected to each other via the connecting member 25, so that when the operating device 6 slides in the front-rear direction, the rotating bodies 24 are synchronized with each other. To turn. Therefore, both end portions of the operation device 6 move in the front-rear direction in cooperation with each other, and it is possible to prevent the front-rear position of the both end portions of the operation device 6 from being relatively shifted and the operation device 6 from being inclined with respect to the left-right direction. The operation device 6 can be smoothly slid back and forth. In particular, in a state where the operation device 6 is stored in the operation device storage section 9, the length direction of the operation device 6 can be reliably arranged parallel to the front surface of the cabinet 2, and the appearance of the kitchen apparatus 1 can be improved.

また、上記各回動体２４は回動軸部４５ａを連結用部材２５に直接接続すると共に回動軸部４５ｂをダンパ２３に直接接続してあるため、部品点数を削減できる。また、各回動体２４を連結用部材２５に直接接続したこと、及び、連結用部材２５を多角形状に形成したことにより、両回動体２４の同期精度を向上することができる。 Further, since each of the rotating bodies 24 has the rotating shaft portion 45a directly connected to the connecting member 25 and the rotating shaft portion 45b directly connected to the damper 23, the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, since each rotating body 24 is directly connected to the connecting member 25 and the connecting member 25 is formed in a polygonal shape, the synchronization accuracy of the rotating bodies 24 can be improved.

また、上記各ガイド部材４７のローラー取付部１６に対する取付位置は以下のように前後方向において調節可能となっている。 Moreover, the attachment position with respect to the roller attachment part 16 of each said guide member 47 can be adjusted in the front-back direction as follows.

図４に示すように各ガイド部材４７の横片１６ｂ上に載置される板状の底部４７ａの前後２箇所には前後に長い長孔４９を形成している。各ガイド部材４７をローラー取付部１６に取り付けるには、底部４７ａに形成した各長孔４９に上方から通したねじ具１４ｅを横片１６ｂに螺合し、各ねじ具１４ｅの頭部と横片１６ｂとで底部４７ａにおける長孔４９の縁部を挟持する。つまり、各長孔４９におけるねじ具１４ｅの挿通位置を前後方向において調節することで、各ガイド部材４７の前後方向における取付位置は調節可能となっており、これにより両回動体２４に係合される操作器６を左右方向に対する傾きを調節して左右方向と平行に配置できる。 As shown in FIG. 4, long holes 49 that are long in the front and rear are formed at two front and rear portions of a plate-like bottom 47a placed on the horizontal piece 16b of each guide member 47. As shown in FIG. In order to attach each guide member 47 to the roller attachment portion 16, a screw tool 14e passed from above into each elongated hole 49 formed in the bottom 47a is screwed into the horizontal piece 16b, and the head and the horizontal piece of each screw tool 14e are engaged. 16b sandwiches the edge of the long hole 49 in the bottom 47a. In other words, by adjusting the insertion position of the screw tool 14e in each long hole 49 in the front-rear direction, the attachment position in the front-rear direction of each guide member 47 can be adjusted, and thereby engaged with both rotating bodies 24. The operation device 6 can be arranged parallel to the left-right direction by adjusting the inclination with respect to the left-right direction.

また、操作器収納部９に収納した操作器６やローラー取付部１６の下方には各定荷重ばね２１及び各ダンパ２３が位置する。つまり、操作器６にローラー取付部１６とローラー２０を取り付けてなるユニットを操作ユニットとすると、上記操作器収納部９に操作器６を収納した状態においては、各定荷重ばね２１及び各ダンパ２３は操作ユニットの下方に位置する。 In addition, the constant load springs 21 and the dampers 23 are positioned below the operating unit 6 and the roller mounting unit 16 stored in the operating unit storage unit 9. In other words, when a unit in which the roller attachment portion 16 and the roller 20 are attached to the operation device 6 is an operation unit, each constant load spring 21 and each damper 23 in the state where the operation device 6 is stored in the operation device storage portion 9. Is located below the operating unit.

従って、操作器収納部９の前後寸法を短くでき、キャビネット２の調理器５の前方部の前後長さを充分に確保できない場合にも対応できる。なお、上記各回動体２４は上記操作器収納部９に操作器６を収納した状態における操作ユニットの前後幅内において回動するものである。 Therefore, the front-rear dimension of the operation device storage portion 9 can be shortened, and it is possible to cope with the case where the front-rear length of the front portion of the cooking device 5 of the cabinet 2 cannot be secured sufficiently. Each rotating body 24 rotates within the front-rear width of the operation unit in a state where the operating device 6 is stored in the operating device storage section 9.

また、上記操作器収納部９に操作器６を収納した状態において、各定荷重ばね２１を対応するローラー取付部１６の下方に配置したので、本実施形態のように各回動体２４を対応するローラー取付部１６におけるローラー２０と反対側の内側方に配置できる。このため、各ローラー取付部１６の外側にローラー２０、内側に回動体２４、下側に定荷重ばね２１及びダンパ２３を夫々位置させて、各ローラー取付部１６の後方に操作器６の移動機構を有さないコンパクトな構成とすることができる。 Further, in the state in which the operation device 6 is stored in the operation device storage portion 9, each constant load spring 21 is disposed below the corresponding roller mounting portion 16, so that each rotating body 24 is a corresponding roller as in this embodiment. The mounting portion 16 can be disposed on the inner side opposite to the roller 20. For this reason, the roller 20 is positioned outside each roller mounting portion 16, the rotating body 24 is positioned inside, the constant load spring 21 and the damper 23 are positioned below, and the moving mechanism of the operating device 6 is positioned behind each roller mounting portion 16. It can be set as the compact structure which does not have.

次に上記とは異なる実施形態について説明する。なお以下の説明では上記実施形態と同一の構成については同一の番号を付与し、重複する説明は省略する。 Next, an embodiment different from the above will be described. In the following description, the same components as those in the above embodiment are given the same numbers, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

本実施形態では、図１０乃至図１２に示すように、厨房装置１の操作器収納部９に連結用部材２５の外側を覆うカバー５６を設けている。図１０に示すように、カバー５６は左右方向に長い長尺な部材であり、下方に開口した側断面逆Ｕ字状に形成されている。図１２に示すように、カバー５６の前後の下端部にはカバー５６外面側に突出する係止部５７が形成されている。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, a cover 56 that covers the outside of the connecting member 25 is provided in the operation device storage portion 9 of the kitchen apparatus 1. As shown in FIG. 10, the cover 56 is a long member that is long in the left-right direction, and is formed in an inverted U-shaped side section that opens downward. As shown in FIG. 12, a locking portion 57 that protrudes to the outer surface side of the cover 56 is formed at the front and rear lower ends of the cover 56.

一方、ベース１０の上面における連結用部材２５の下方に位置する箇所には、左右方向に長い上方に開口する凹部５８を形成してあり、凹部５８の前後の上開口縁部には引掛け部５９を突設している。 On the other hand, a recess 58 that opens upward in the left-right direction is formed at a position located below the connecting member 25 on the upper surface of the base 10, and a hooking portion is provided at the upper opening edge before and after the recess 58. 59 is projected.

カバー５６は、前後両側の係止部５７を対応する引掛け部５９の下面側に係止することにより、操作器収納部９に取付けられる。これにより、連結用部材２５はその長さ方向における略全長に亘る部分の上側、前側、及び後側がカバー５６によって覆われる。つまり、連結用部材２５は、凹部５８の底部によって覆われる下側を含めれば、その外周全体がカバー５６及びベース１０によって覆われることとなる。 The cover 56 is attached to the operating device storage portion 9 by locking the locking portions 57 on both the front and rear sides to the lower surface side of the corresponding hooking portion 59. As a result, the upper side, the front side, and the rear side of the portion of the connecting member 25 that extends over substantially the entire length in the length direction are covered with the cover 56. That is, the entire outer periphery of the connecting member 25 is covered by the cover 56 and the base 10 if the lower side covered by the bottom of the recess 58 is included.

このように連結用部材２５の外側を覆うことで、異物が連結用部材２５とベース１０の間に噛み込むことを防止できる。また、操作器６と調理器５を接続する配線１７が連結用部材２５に引っかかり、連結用部材２５が回動できなくなったり、配線１７が断線したりするといった事態が生じることも防止できる。 By covering the outside of the connecting member 25 in this way, foreign matter can be prevented from being caught between the connecting member 25 and the base 10. In addition, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the wiring 17 connecting the operation device 6 and the cooking device 5 is caught by the connecting member 25 and the connecting member 25 cannot be rotated or the wiring 17 is disconnected.

なお、上記各実施形態では回動体２４を主体部が棒状に形成されたアームで構成したが、回動体２４の形状はこれに限定されるものではない。また、回動体２４の回動中心部同士を連結用部材２５で連結したが、連結用部材２５を回動体２４の回動中心部以外の箇所に連結することにより、両回動体２４の回動を同期させるようにしても良い。 In each of the above embodiments, the rotating body 24 is configured by an arm having a main portion formed in a rod shape, but the shape of the rotating body 24 is not limited to this. Moreover, although the rotation center part of the rotation body 24 was connected with the connection member 25, by rotating the connection member 25 to locations other than the rotation center part of the rotation body 24, rotation of both rotation body 24 is possible. May be synchronized.

また、上記各実施形態では回動体２４側に摺動突起４６を設けると共にローラー取付部を構成するローラー取付部１６側に摺動溝４８を設けたが、操作器６の側端部の前後移動と対応する回動体２４の回動を連動させる機構としてはこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば操作器６に摺動突起４６を設けると共に回動体２４に摺動溝４８を形成する等しても良い。 Further, in each of the above embodiments, the sliding protrusion 46 is provided on the rotating body 24 side and the sliding groove 48 is provided on the roller mounting portion 16 side constituting the roller mounting portion, but the side end portion of the operating device 6 is moved back and forth. The mechanism for interlocking the rotation of the corresponding rotating body 24 is not limited to this. For example, a sliding projection 46 is provided on the operating device 6 and a sliding groove 48 is formed on the rotating body 24. Also good.
