Description

The present invention relates to a molding arranged along the outer edge of the lower surface of a counter having a storage portion below a system kitchen or the like, and a counter provided with the molding.

Conventionally, the counter (worktop) of the system kitchen has been provided with a water refill along the outer edge of the upper surface. The refill is a structure that rises slightly higher than the main surface of the counter, and has the role of damming the water spilled on the counter. However, if a large amount of water spills on the counter, it will get over the water refill. Therefore, a front hanging is formed on the side peripheral surface of the counter, and the lower end of the front hanging is lowered to the vicinity of the upper side of the front plate of the curtain plate or the storage portion. This prevents the water that runs down from flowing down the surface of the counter, passing over the curtain plate and the front plate of the storage unit, and entering the cabinet.

Japanese Patent No. 4940516 Japanese Patent No. 4479517 Japanese Patent No. 4669383

The refill extends above the counter, and the maedare extends below the counter. Therefore, all of these add to the apparent thickness of the counter. On the other hand, there is a demand to reduce the thickness of the counter due to the improvement of design in recent years. Counter Therefore, a water intrusion prevention structure that replaces the refill and the front dripping is desired.

When considering a structure for preventing water from entering from the counter, it is conceivable to arrange a molding along the outer edge of the lower surface of the counter and take some measures by this molding.

Patent Document 1 proposes a configuration in which a rail member (corresponding to a molding) is fitted in a gap between the lower surface of a counter and the upper end of a box body, and a slide-type towel rack or the like is attached to the rail member. ..

Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which a support rail for supporting a holder for holding an article in a left-right direction is extended on a side peripheral surface of a counter.

Patent Document 3 describes a configuration in which a mounting portion having an H-shaped cross section for mounting functional components having other functions is formed on a curtain plate above the storage portion.

In any of the configurations of Patent Document 1 to Patent Document 3, although the configuration is arranged under the counter, it does not have a structure capable of preventing the intrusion of water. Therefore, it is not possible to prevent water from entering the storage portion along the counter surface, which is the subject of the present invention.

In view of such a problem, the present invention provides a molding capable of preventing water from entering the storage portion along the counter surface without refilling or dripping, and a counter provided with the molding. I am aiming.

In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of the present invention is a molding arranged along the outer edge of the lower surface of the counter having a storage portion below, and is arranged at a position retracted from the outer edge of the counter. It is characterized by having a vertical wall and a bottom plate extending from the lower end of the vertical wall toward the front, and the bottom plate has a tip side rising upward from the back side, and a recess that functions as a water receiver is formed in the entire bottom plate. And.

According to the above configuration, when water spilled on the counter drips from the edge of the counter, up to a certain amount can be stored in the water pan of the mall, and can be wiped off with a cloth, etc. If any, it can be evaporated here. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a refill or a front hang on the counter, and the apparent thickness of the counter can be reduced. Also, the counter can be flattened to the edge. From these things, the aesthetics of the counter can be improved.

On the lower surface of the tip of the bottom plate, a barb for draining that protrudes downward may be formed. As a result, the water overflowing from the water receiver of the molding can be made to drip directly below the tip of the bottom plate. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent water from sneaking into the inside of the storage portion.

An upper plate extending forward from the upper end of the vertical wall may be provided, and the lower surface of the upper plate may be inclined downward from the outer edge of the counter toward the vertical wall. As a result, the water dripping from the edge of the counter can be transmitted to the lower surface of the upper plate and the vertical wall, and effectively guided to the water receiver of the bottom plate.

A typical configuration of the counter according to the present invention is characterized in that the above-mentioned molding is provided along the outer edge of the lower surface. When placed on this counter, it is possible to prevent water spilled from the counter from entering the storage portion without providing a water refill or a front hang.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a system kitchen and an enlarged view of a mall. The kitchen 100 shown in FIG. 1A is provided with a counter 110 on a cabinet 120 which is a storage unit. A side plate 130 is attached to the side surface of the cabinet. The counter 110 is L-shaped and has an outer angle 110a, an inner angle 110b, and an end angle 110c attached to the wall of the room.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the molding 200 is attached along the outer edge of the lower surface of the counter 110. That is, the molding 200 is arranged vertically between the counter 110 and the curtain plate 124, between the counter 110 and the drawer 126, or between the counter and the side plate 130.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a parts configuration of the molding 200. The molding 200 is a member arranged in a straight line portion (a portion other than the corner portion) of the counter 110, and is drawn extremely short in FIG. The outer angle cap 240 is arranged at the position corresponding to the outer angle 110a of the counter 110. An internal angle cap 250 is arranged at a position corresponding to the internal angle 110b of the counter 110. The end cap left 220 or the end cap right 230 is arranged at a position corresponding to the end angle 110c of the counter 110.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the mall 200. The molding 200 is an extruded product having the same cross section, and its length is appropriately cut according to the length of the side of the counter 110 before use. The molding 200 can be molded from a resin or an aluminum alloy.

The molding 200 includes a fixing portion 202 for fixing to the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 202 is a flat plate along the lower surface of the counter 110. Guide grooves 202a and 202b for kneading the screws are formed on both sides of the fixing portion 202. The guide grooves 202a and 202b have a role of guiding the tip of the screw so as not to slip, and also have a role of facilitating the penetration of the screw by reducing the wall thickness of the fixing portion 202.

The vertical wall 204 is provided so as to hang downward from the fixed portion 202. The vertical wall 204 is arranged at a position retracted (recessed position) from the outer edge of the counter 110.

The bottom plate 206 is provided so as to extend forward (outside) from the lower end of the vertical wall 204. The bottom plate 206 has a tip 206a rising upward from the back side, and a recess functioning as a water receiver 208 is formed in the entire bottom plate 206. On the lower surface of the tip 206a of the bottom plate 206, a return 206b for draining is formed so as to project downward.

The upper plate 210 is provided so as to extend forward from the upper end of the vertical wall 204. The lower surface 210a of the upper plate is inclined downward from the outer edge of the counter 110 toward the vertical wall 204. As a result, the water dripping from the edge of the counter can be transmitted to the vertical wall 204. The upper surface 210b of the upper plate is parallel to the lower surface of the counter 110, and the waterproof packing 212 is compressed and sandwiched between them.

4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining the functions of the mall 200, FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating a main part of the kitchen 100 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining a conventional kitchen 300 as a comparative example. It is a figure explaining the main part of.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the counter 110 has a flat shape with no refilling or front dripping. As a result, the thickness of the counter becomes the thickness observed by the user as it is, and it feels thinner than before. Moreover, since the top surface of the counter 110 is flat up to the edge, it has a simple shape. From these things, the aesthetics of the counter can be improved.

If water spills onto the counter 110, the water will flow along the edge of the counter 110 to the mall 200. At this time, since the lower surface 210a of the upper plate is inclined, the water can reach the bottom plate 206 through the vertical wall 204 without running out, and can effectively guide the water receiver 208 of the bottom plate 206. Although the volume of the water receiver 208 seems to be small in FIG. 4A, it actually has a correspondingly large volume because it communicates long along the straight line portion of the counter 110. Therefore, when the water spilled on the counter 110 drips from the edge of the counter 110, a certain amount can be stored in the water receiver 208 of the molding 200 and can be evaporated here.

Further, even when the spilled water exceeds the volume of the water receiver 208, the overflowing water is directly below the tip 206a of the bottom plate due to the formation of the return 206b on the lower surface of the tip 206a of the bottom plate (curtain). It can be dripping (on the outside of the plate 124). Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent water from sneaking into the inside of the cabinet 120. The return 206b is located on the front side of the front surface of the curtain plate 124.

In the kitchen 300 of the prior art shown in FIG. 4 (b), a water refill 312 is provided along the outer edge of the upper surface of the counter 310. The water spilled on the counter 310 is first dammed up by the refill 312. Further, a front hanging 314 is formed on the side peripheral surface of the counter 310. The lower end of the front hanging 314 is lowered to the vicinity of the upper side of the curtain plate 124 and the front plate of the drawer. This prevents the water that runs down from flowing down the surface of the counter, passing over the curtain plate and the front plate of the storage unit, and entering the cabinet.

In the configuration of FIG. 4B, the thickness of the counter 310 observed by the user is the height from the water refill 312 to the front sag 314, and appears to be much thicker than the original thickness of the counter 310. For this reason, there are restrictions on the design, which is one of the obstacles to improving the aesthetic appearance.

On the other hand, as in the present invention, if it is not necessary to raise or hang the outer circumference of the counter 110 upward or downward, the thickness of the counter 110 can be made to appear thin as it is, or can be made thicker according to the design. .. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing can be increased, and the aesthetic appearance of the counter can be improved.

5A and 5B are views for explaining the end cap left 220, FIG. 5A is an outer perspective view, and FIG. 5B is an inner perspective view. Since the right 230 of the end cap is symmetrical, the illustration and description will be omitted.

The left end cap 220 serves to hide the cut-off end face of the molding 200 and is attached to improve the appearance. The end cap left 220 includes a cover portion 222 that covers the outside of the end portion of the molding 200, and a fixing portion 224 for fixing to the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 224 is a flat plate along the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 224 is provided with a screw hole 226 through which a fixing screw is passed.

6A and 6B are views for explaining the outer angle cap 240, FIG. 6A is an outer perspective view, and FIG. 6B is an inner perspective view. The outer angle cap 240 has a role of hiding the end face to which the molding 200 is abutted under the outer angle 110a. The outer angle cap 240 includes a cover portion 242 that covers the outside of the end portion of the molding 200, and a fixing portion 244 for fixing to the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 244 is a flat plate along the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 244 is provided with a screw hole 246 through which a fixing screw is passed.

7A and 7B are views for explaining the internal angle cap 250, FIG. 7A is an outer perspective view, and FIG. 7B is an inner perspective view. The internal angle cap 250 has a role of hiding the end face to which the molding 200 is abutted under the internal angle 110b. The internal angle cap 250 includes a cover portion 252 that covers the outside of the end portion of the molding 200, and a fixing portion 254 for fixing to the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 254 is a flat plate along the lower surface of the counter 110. The fixing portion 254 is provided with a screw hole 256 through which a fixing screw is passed.
