On the other hand, the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 is formed in a rectangular flat plate arranged vertically from the upper portion to the central portion in the vertical direction, and the blade is accommodated downward from the vertical central portion to the lower portion. The portion 412 has a rectangular flat plate shape that is inclined in the direction in which the lateral width is reduced. That is, the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 is bent at the central portion in the vertical direction.
Therefore, the lateral width of the blade accommodating portion 412 is constant from the upper part to the central part in the vertical direction, but gradually decreases from the central part in the vertical direction to the lower part.
The inclination angle of the inclined portion in the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 corresponds to the inclination angle of the right surface of the end plate 34.

A plurality of permanent magnets 40, 40,... Are attached to the inner surface of the inclined portion in the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412. The blade accommodating portion 412 does not block the magnetic force. Therefore, when the outer surface of the inclined portion of the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 approaches the end plate 34, the blade accommodating portion 412 and thus the casing 41 are detachably attached to the end plate 34 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 40, 40,. Adsorb.
If each permanent magnet 40 is disposed in the space inside the housing 41, the internal space of the housing 41 can be used effectively.
The means for removably attaching the housing 41 to the end plate 34 using a magnet is configured as in the present embodiment in which one of the case 41 and the end plate 34 is made of a ferromagnetic material, and the other has a built-in magnet. It is not limited to. For example, it is conceivable that magnets having different polarities are built in both the casing 41 and the end plate 34.

A bar receiving groove 431 for receiving the gallery bar 36 is formed in the front-rear direction from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the blade housing portion 412 on the outer surface of the bent portion of the left side wall of the blade housing portion 412. The inner surface of the bar receiving groove 431 is formed in a front view arc shape corresponding to the circumferential surface of the gallery bar 36 in the horizontal posture.
In addition, a pair of upper and lower clamping protrusions 432 and 432 projecting leftward from the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 are provided in pairs, corresponding to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the bar receiving groove 431. It has been. The bar receiving groove 431 is disposed between the sandwiching convex portions 432 and 432.
The bar receiving groove 431 and the pair of sandwiching convex portions 432 and 432 function as the fitting portion 43. That is, the two fitting portions 43 and 43 are arranged one by one at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the blade accommodating portion 412. However, the bar receiving groove 431 is common to the two fitting portions 43 and 43.

  Each clamping convex part 432 has elasticity, and the separation distance of the clamping convex parts 432 and 432 is shorter than the outer diameter of the gallery bar 36. For this reason, when the gallery bar 36 is pushed into the bar receiving groove 431 side from the gap between the sandwiching protrusions 432 and 432, the gallery bar 36 is detachable from the fitting part 43 by the elasticity of the sandwiching protrusions 432 and 432. It is inserted.

The handle support portion 411 is attached to the blade housing portion 412 so as to close the upper opening of the blade housing portion 412. The handle support portion 411 is integrally provided with a semi-cylindrical top wall 41a in a horizontal posture, and a disk-shaped front side wall 41b and a rear side wall 41c in each vertical posture. The top wall 41a is convex upward.
Four support recesses 413, 413,... Are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction on the top wall 41a. Each support recess 413 has a convex shape in plan view. More specifically, each support recess 413 is formed by communication between a front recess having a rectangular shape in a plan view and a rear recess having a rectangular shape in a plan view having a wide width. The longitudinal length and the lateral width of the rear concave portion of each supporting concave portion 413 are longer than the thickness of the handle 21 of a general knife 2 (for example, the longer diameter in the case of an elliptical columnar handle).

A rectangular insertion port 42 that is long in the front-rear direction is provided at the bottom of each support recess 413. More specifically, the front half of the insertion port 42 is opened at the bottom of the front recess of the support recess 413, and the latter half of the insertion port 42 is opened at the bottom of the rear recess of the support recess 413. The four insertion openings 42, 42,... Are juxtaposed on the top of the housing 41 in the front-rear direction.
The opening periphery of the insertion port 42 is a part of the bottom of the support recess 413. When the kitchen knife 2 is stored in the kitchen knife storage device 4 as described later, the bottom of the rear concave portion of the support concave portion 413 supports the handle 21 of the kitchen knife 2. Therefore, the opening peripheral part of the latter half part of the insertion port 42 supports the handle 21 of the knife 2.

The longitudinal length of each insertion opening 42 is longer than the length from the cutting edge to the peak of the blade 22 of the knife 2. The front-rear length of the rear half of the insertion opening 42 is shorter than the length from the cutting edge to the peak of the blade 22 of the knife 2. The width of each insertion opening 42 is longer than the thickness of the blade 22 of the general knife 2 and shorter than the thickness of the handle 21. Therefore, although the blade 22 of the knife 2 can be inserted into the insertion opening 42, the handle 21 cannot be inserted.
An insertion hole (not shown) through which an opening / closing part 44 described later is slidably inserted is formed in the side wall of each support recess 413.

A long hole 46 having a rectangular shape in plan view is formed at the front end of the top wall 41a. The longitudinal direction of the long hole 46 is along the circumferential direction of the top wall 41a, and the short direction of the long hole 46 is along the axial length direction (that is, the front-rear direction) of the top wall 41a.
An engaging portion 45 projects from the outer surface of the top wall 41a. The engaging part 45 has a conical shape with a rounded top. The projecting position of the engaging portion 45 is in the vicinity of the opening edge left end portion of the long hole 46.

An opening / closing part 44 is arranged inside the handle support part 411. More specifically, the opening / closing part 44 is arranged along the inner surface of the top wall 41 a of the handle support part 411. For this purpose, the opening / closing part 44 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape along the inner surface of the top wall 41a of the handle support part 411.
The length of the opening / closing portion 44 in the axial length direction is shorter than the length of the top wall 41a in the axial length direction, and the front-rear direction of the front end portion of the frontmost support concave portion 413 and the rear end portion of the rearmost support concave portion 413 Longer than the separation distance.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration of the opening / closing unit 44 provided in the knife storage device 4. FIG. 6 shows the vicinity of the front end of the opening / closing part 44 when the front side is viewed from the upper right. In FIG. 6, an opening / closing operation unit 5 to be described later is indicated by an imaginary line.
The vertical discs 441 and 441 are integrally provided at both ends in the front-rear direction of the opening / closing unit 44, and the rotary shafts 442 in the horizontal orientation along the front-rear direction are opened and closed on each disc 441. It protrudes toward the outside of the portion 44 (only the front disc portion 441 and the rotating shaft portion 442 are shown in FIG. 6). The opening / closing part 44 is configured to rotate in the circumferential direction around the rotating shaft parts 442 and 442. For this reason, the rotating shaft parts 442 and 442 are rotatably supported by the front side wall 41b and the rear side wall 41c of the handle support part 411.
In the opening / closing portion 44, four avoidance recesses 443, 443,... Each having a rectangular cut-out shape are juxtaposed in the front-rear direction (only the frontmost avoidance recess 443 is shown in FIG. 6). The arrangement position of the avoidance recess 443 is a position corresponding to the rear recess of the support recess 413 in the handle support portion 411.

When the opening / closing portion 44 rotates and moves in the circumferential direction, the upper openings of the front recesses of all the support recesses 413, 413,. On the other hand, the upper openings of the rear recesses of the support recesses 413, 413, ... are not closed. This is because the opening / closing portion 44 is provided with the avoidance recesses 443, 443, ..., so that the upper opening of the rear recess of each support recess 413 is avoided.
As a result, the four insertion ports 42, 42,... Are simultaneously opened and closed by the opening / closing part 44, but the latter half is not closed.
If the insertion port 42 is open, the blade 22 of the knife 2 can be inserted into and removed from the insertion port 42. On the other hand, if the front half of the insertion opening 42 is closed, the blade 22 of the knife 2 cannot be inserted into or removed from the insertion opening 42.

  By the way, the opening / closing part 44 switches between a state in which the knife 2 can be inserted into and removed from the insertion port 42 and a state in which the knife 2 is not possible. Therefore, if the front recesses of the support recesses 413, 413,... Are opened to such an extent that the knife 2 can be inserted into and removed from the insertion port 42, it is necessary to completely open the front recesses of the support recesses 413, 413,. Absent. Similarly, if the front recesses of the support recesses 413, 413,... Are closed to such an extent that the knife 2 cannot be inserted into and removed from the insertion port 42, the front recesses of the support recesses 413, 413,. There is no need.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the knife storage device 4 further includes an opening / closing operation unit 5. The opening / closing operation part 5 is reciprocated in a direction along the circumferential direction of the top wall 41a of the handle support part 411 by being operated by the user as will be described later. Hereinafter, a direction along the circumferential direction of the top wall 41a of the handle support portion 411 is referred to as a reciprocating movement direction. A direction along the axial length direction of the top wall 41a of the handle support portion 411 is referred to as a movement orthogonal direction.
The opening / closing operation unit 5 is integrally provided with a plate-like part 51 and a leg part 52. The opening / closing operation unit 5 has a symmetrical shape with respect to the reciprocating movement direction and the movement orthogonal direction.

The plate-like portion 51 is a curved plate-like member along the reciprocating direction. Hereinafter, the curved convex surface of the plate-like portion 51 is referred to as a contact surface 51a.
The contact surface 51 a has a length in the reciprocating direction that is shorter than a length in the longitudinal direction of the long hole 46 of the handle support portion 411, and a length in the movement orthogonal direction is longer than the length in the short direction of the long hole 46.
A plurality of protruding ridges 511, 511,... Protrude from the contact surface 51a as anti-slip of the user's finger when the user's finger contacts the contact surface 51a. The longitudinal direction of each protruding line part 511 is a movement orthogonal direction. For this reason, it is suppressed that the finger | toe which contacted the contact surface 51a slips unnecessarily in the reciprocation direction.
In addition, the anti-slip | skid which should be provided in the contact surface 51a is not limited to the protruding item | line part 511,511, .... For example, the slip stopper to be provided on the contact surface 51a may be a convex portion arranged in a staggered manner. Even if the contact surface 51a is flat, it is sufficient that the frictional resistance of the contact surface 51a itself against the finger is sufficiently large.

  A leg portion 52 projects from the curved concave surface side of the plate-like portion 51. The length of the leg portion 52 in the reciprocating direction is shorter than the length of the contact surface 51a in the reciprocating direction, and the length in the movement orthogonal direction corresponds to the length of the long hole 46 in the short direction. The leg portion 52 is inserted through the long hole 46 in such a posture that the plate-like portion 51 is located outside the handle support portion 411. The distal end portion of the leg portion 52 is connected to the opening / closing portion 44. The connection of the leg 52 to the opening / closing part 44 is a fixed connection (for example, adhesion using an adhesive). In addition, the connection with the opening / closing part 44 of the leg part 52 may be a detachable connection. Further, on the other surface side of the plate-like portion 51, two concave portions are juxtaposed in the reciprocating direction with the leg portions 52 interposed. Of these two concave portions, the one closer to the engaging portion 45 functions as the engaging concave portion 53.

  When the user brings a finger into contact with the contact surface 51 a and applies an external force in the reciprocating direction to the opening / closing operation unit 5, the leg 52 slides on the inner surface of the long hole 46, so that the opening / closing operation unit 5 becomes a long hole. 46, reciprocating in the reciprocating direction. As the opening / closing operation unit 5 reciprocates in the reciprocating direction, the opening / closing unit 44 also reciprocates in the reciprocating direction.

When the user applies an external force in the left direction to the opening / closing operation part 5, the opening / closing operation part 5 moves to the left end of the long hole 46, and the plate-like part 51 of the opening / closing operation part 5 comes into contact with the engaging part 45. . When the user continues to apply an external force in the left direction, the plate-like portion 51 is temporarily elastically deformed, so that the plate-like portion 51 rides on the engaging portion 45, and finally the opening / closing operation portion 5 is engaged. The engaging portion 45 is inserted into the recess 53 so as to be detachable. At this time, the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 are engaged with each other in a detachable manner. When the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 are engaged, useless reciprocation of the opening / closing operation part 5 is prevented (completion of child lock).
As the opening / closing operation unit 5 moves leftward, the opening / closing unit 44 closes the first half of each of the insertion ports 42, 42,. When the opening / closing operation part 5 reaches the left end of the long hole 46, the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 are engaged.

  Next, when the user applies an external force in the right direction to the opening / closing operation part 5, the plate-like part 51 of the opening / closing operation part 5 is temporarily elastically deformed, so that the engagement recess 53 of the opening / closing operation part 5 The engaging part 45 is disengaged (the child lock is released). Further, the plate-like portion 51 rides on the engaging portion 45 and eventually the plate-like portion 51 is separated from the engaging portion 45. When the user continues to apply an external force in the right direction, the opening / closing operation unit 5 moves to the right end of the long hole 46. As the opening / closing operation unit 5 moves in the right direction, the opening / closing unit 44 opens the insertion ports 42, 42,.

Since the top part of the engaging part 45 is rounded, the engagement / disengagement between the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 is smooth.
Further, since a click feeling is obtained when the opening / closing operation unit 5 and the engaging unit 45 are engaged / disengaged, it is easy for the user to know whether the child lock is completed or the child lock is released.
When the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 are engaged, the engaging part 45 is covered with the plate-like part 51 of the opening / closing operation part 5. For this reason, there is no possibility that the aesthetic appearance may be impaired by the engagement portion 45 being unnecessarily conspicuous.

Next, the procedure in which the manufacturer of the system kitchen 1 attaches the knife storage device 4 to the drawer 3 will be described.
The manufacturer brings the casing 41 of the knife storage device 4 closer to the end plate 34 and the gallery bar 36 of the drawer 3 from the right side.
At this time, when the manufacturer pushes the gallery bar 36 between the sandwiching protrusions 432 and 432 of each fitting part 43, the space between the sandwiching protrusions 432 and 432 is temporarily expanded by elasticity. For this reason, the gallery bar 36 is fitted into the fitting portion 43. The gallery bar 36 fitted into the fitting portion 43 is sandwiched by the sandwiching convex portions 432 and 432 while being received by the inner surface of the bar receiving groove 431.
Further, when the manufacturer brings the inclined portion of the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 into contact with the right surface of the end plate 34, the casing 41 is attracted to the end plate 34 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 40, 40,. That is, the housing | casing 41 is attached to the right surface of the end plate 34 so that attachment or detachment is possible using the permanent magnets 40, 40, ....

As a result, the knife storage device 4 is accommodated in the drawer 3 in a state in which the knife storage device 4 is detachably disposed on the end plate 34.
FIG. 3 shows a case where the kitchen knife storage device 4 is attached to the end plate 34 and the gallery bar 36 with the lower portion of the casing 41 separated from the bottom plate 33 by an appropriate length. The reason why the lower portion of the casing 41 is separated from the bottom plate 33 is to avoid a portion protruding to the right side at the lower portion of the end plate 34.
Even in such a case, the left side wall of the blade accommodating portion 412 is supported by the right surface of the end plate 34 by magnetic force, and the fitting portions 43 and 43 are supported by the gallery bar 36 (that is, the knife storage device 4 is supported by the drawer 3). Therefore, the knife storage device 4 is highly stable.
In addition, if the housing | casing 41 can also receive support of the baseplate 33 (For example, the lower part of the housing | casing 41 is made to contact the baseplate 33, or the leg part which contacts the baseplate 33 is provided in the lower part of the housing | casing 41. The stability of the knife storage device 4 is further enhanced if it is provided in a projecting manner.

Next, a procedure for removing the knife storage device 4 from the drawer 3 will be described.
When the manufacturer moves the casing 41 of the knife storage device 4 to the right from the end plate 34 and the gallery bar 36 of the drawer 3, the gallery bar 36 is extracted from between the sandwiching convex portions 432 and 432 of each fitting portion 43. . At this time, the gap between the sandwiching protrusions 432 and 432 is temporarily expanded by elasticity. Moreover, the adsorption | suction using the permanent magnets 40, 40, ... with respect to the end plate 34 of the housing | casing 41 is cancelled | released.
As a result of the above, the manufacturer provides the user with the system kitchen 1 in a state where the knife storage device 4 is arranged (or not arranged) on the end plate 34 of the drawer 3 according to the user's request. Can do.

  In addition, it is not limited to the manufacturer of the system kitchen 1, The user of the system kitchen 1 may attach and / or remove the knife storage device 4 with respect to the drawer 3. In this case, the user can use the system kitchen 1 in a state in which the knife storage device 4 is arranged (or not arranged) on the end plate 34 of the drawer 3 according to convenience.

Next, a procedure for storing the knife 2 in the knife storage device 4 will be described.
7 and 8 are a perspective view and a plan view showing a state in which the knife 2 is prevented from being inserted and removed in the knife storage device 4. 9 and 10 are a perspective view and a plan view showing a state in which the knife 2 can be inserted and removed in the knife storage device 4. 7 and 9 show the vicinity of the front end portion of the handle support portion 411 of the knife storage device 4 when the front side is viewed from the upper right side. 8 and 10 show the vicinity of the front end portion of the kitchen knife storage device 4.

First, the user releases the engagement between the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 and moves the opening / closing operation part 5 to the right end part of the long hole 46, whereby the insertion opening 42, 42,... Are opened (see FIGS. 9 and 10). Next, the user holds the handle 21 of the kitchen knife 2, puts the knife 2 in a vertical position with the cutting edge of the blade 22 facing downward and the cutting edge of the blade 22 facing forward (see FIG. 2). In this state, the user inserts the blade 22 into any one of the insertion ports 42 (the frontmost insertion port 42 in FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the user releases his hand from the handle 21 when the lower end of the handle 21 comes into contact with the bottom of the support recess 413.
At this time, the handle 21 of the kitchen knife 2 is supported on the bottom of the rear concave portion of the support concave portion 413 while being exposed to the outside of the housing 41. Further, the blade 22 of the knife 2 is housed in the blade housing portion 412 of the housing 41.

Next, the user performs child lock. For this purpose, the user moves the opening / closing operation part 5 to the left end part of the long hole 46. As a result, the first half of each of the insertion ports 42, 42,... Is closed, and the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 are engaged (see FIGS. 7 and 8).
The engagement between the opening / closing operation unit 5 and the engagement unit 45 is not easily released by an inadvertent contact of the user with the opening / closing operation unit 5 or a child's mischief. For this reason, safety is improved.
Even if the knife 2 is to be taken out while the insertion port 42 is closed, the jaw of the blade 22 pulled out from the insertion port 42 contacts the opening / closing part 44. For this reason, the knife 2 cannot be taken out from the knife storage device 4.
Even when the blade 22 of the knife 2 is to be inserted into the latter half of the insertion port 42 in a state where the insertion port 42 is closed, the blade 22 contacts the opening / closing part 44. For this reason, the knife 2 cannot be stored in the knife storage device 4.

Next, a procedure for taking out the knife 2 from the knife storage device 4 will be described.
First, the user releases the insertion port 42, 42,... By releasing the engagement between the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 and moving the opening / closing operation part 5 to the right end of the long hole 46. (See FIGS. 9 and 10). Next, the user holds the handle 21 of the knife 2 and pulls out the blade 22 from the insertion opening 42. At this time, the user can take out the knife 2 from the knife storage device 4.

Next, the procedure for cooking using the knife 2 will be described.
First, the user approaches the cooking table 11 and pulls out the drawer 3 from the sink table 12. Next, the user takes out the grill plate stored in the drawer 3 and places it on the top surface 110 of the cooking table 11, and further takes out the knife 2 from the knife storage device 4. Thereafter, the user stores the drawer 3 in the sink table 12 and then cooks with the knife 2 on the cooking board on the cooking table 11.
In this way, after the user approaches the cooking table 11, the user takes out the kitchen knife 2 and the mortar board from the drawer 3 without making any contact with or apart from the cooking table 11 or the sink table 12, and performs cooking. I can. In other words, the flow line at the time of taking out the kitchen knife 2 and the saddle plate from the drawer 3 is short.
The knife storage device 4 is not disposed on the back plate 35 as viewed from the user, but on the front plate 34. For this reason, it is easy to take out the knife.

By the way, although the drawer 3 is an upper drawer on the sink stand 12, even if this is a lower drawer, a procedure for putting the knife 2 in and out of the knife storage device 4 and a procedure for cooking using the knife 2 are performed. Is almost unchanged.
However, when the drawer 3 is a lower drawer, the user needs to bend and put the knife 2 in and out. For this reason, convenience becomes worse than the case where the drawer 3 is an upper drawer. In other words, when the drawer 3 is the upper drawer, the convenience when the knife 2 is put in and out can be improved. Further, since the distance from the knife storage device 4 to the top surface 110 of the cooking table 11 (that is, from the storage position of the knife 2 to the position where the knife 2 is used) is short, it is considered that the safety in handling the knife 2 is increased. .
In addition, when the drawer 3 is an upper drawer, each knife stored in the kitchen knife storage device 4 and the kitchen knife storage device 4 in the gap between the left side wall of the cabinet and the left side wall of the sink 121 in the sink table 12. If it is effectively used as a space for arranging the two handles 21, dead space can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the engagement / disengagement between the opening / closing operation part 5 and the engaging part 45 by inserting / removing the engaging recess 53 and the convex engaging part 45 of the opening / closing operation part 5 is exemplified. The engagement / disengagement between the engaging portion and the engaging portion is not limited to this. The engagement / disengagement between the opening / closing operation portion and the engagement portion is performed by, for example, providing a crank-shaped long hole instead of the long hole 46 of the housing 41, and the corner portion of the long hole and the leg portion 52 of the opening / closing operation portion 5. It may be by engaging / disengaging. In the case of such a configuration, the opening / closing operation unit 5 moves while being guided by the crank-shaped long hole, and the opening / closing unit 44 moves in the reciprocating direction in the casing 41 as the opening / closing operation unit 5 moves. And a linear movement in the orthogonal movement direction.
In the case of the long hole 46 as in the present embodiment, the opening / closing part 44 is opened / closed by operating the opening / closing operation part 5 linearly in the reciprocating direction. However, if the long hole has a crank shape, the opening / closing portion 44 cannot be opened / closed by simply operating the opening / closing operation portion 5 in a straight line. That is, child lock can be realized.

The system kitchen 1 is not limited to the I type as long as the cooking table 11 and the sink table 12 on which the drawer 3 is provided are adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction, and may be an L type or a U type. .
In addition, if the stove table 10 is adjacent to the right side of the cooking table 11 instead of the sink body 12, the drawer 3 may be provided on the stove table 10.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the kitchen knife storage device 4 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 11 shows the knife storage device 4 when the back side is viewed from the upper right side.
The system kitchen 1 and the knife storage device 4 of the present embodiment have substantially the same configuration as the system kitchen 1 and the knife storage device 4 of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and other parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.
Here, the first system kitchen 1 and the second system kitchen 1 are considered.
The first system kitchen 1 has the same configuration as the system kitchen 1 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the proximate faceplate in the first system kitchen 1 is the faceplate 34.

The second system kitchen 1 is configured such that the sink table 12 is adjacent to the left side of the cooking table 11. In such a configuration, the right side plate 35 in the drawer 3 is the side plate close to the cooking table 11. Therefore, the proximate faceplate in the second system kitchen 1 is the faceplate 35.
The left surface of the end plate 35 (that is, the surface on the inner side of the drawer 3 in the end plate 35) is inclined so as to spread outward from the lower part to the upper part.

Since the end plates 34 and 35 have mirror image symmetry with each other, in the kitchen knife storage device 4, the inclination angle of the inclined portion of the left side wall of the blade storage portion 412 corresponds to the inclination angle of the right side surface of the end plate 34, and at the same time the left side surface of the end plate 35 It corresponds also to the inclination angle.
Further, since the end plate 35 is made of a ferromagnetic material, the casing 41 of the knife storage device 4 is detachably attracted to the left surface of the end plate 35 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 40, 40,.
Furthermore, since the gallery bars 36 and 37 have the same structure, the gallery bar 37 is fitted into the fitting portions 43 and 43 so as to be detachable.

  In the case of the knife storage device 4 according to the first embodiment, only one long hole 46 and one engagement portion 45 are formed at the front end of the top wall 41a of the casing 41. In the case of the knife storage device 4 of the present embodiment, one long hole 46 and one engagement portion 45 are also formed at the rear end portion of the top wall 41a. The long holes 46 and 46 and the engaging portions 45 and 45 are point-symmetric with respect to the center position in the front-rear and left-right direction of the top wall 41a in plan view. Therefore, the long direction (or short direction) of the long holes 46 is the same direction. Further, the protruding position of the engagement portions 45, 45 disposed on the rear end portion of the top wall 41 a is in the vicinity of the right end portion of the opening periphery of the long hole 46.
