Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a foot heater on furniture such as a system kitchen, in which the heater is placed at the bottom of the furniture to heat the feet. be.

[Background technology]

Traditionally, systems have been provided in which a foot heater that generates warm air is installed on the underside of furniture such as system kitchens, and hot air is blown out to the feet from warm air outlets installed in the architrave of the furniture. There is. In a kitchen or the like, the floor surface may get wet with water, so conventionally, a foot heater 3 is used which has a support plate 6 fixed to the rear lower surface as shown in FIG. 6. That is, the foot heater 3 is inserted into the underside of the furniture through an insertion hole made in the architrave of the furniture.
The load of the foot warmer 3 is supported by the support plate 6 and the lower surface of the opening of the architrave insertion opening, and the foot warmer 3 is placed slightly above the floor surface to prevent water from entering. However, as shown in the figure, in the conventional foot heater 3, the support plate 6 protrudes downward from the lower surface, and the vertical height of the foot heater 3 is high, so the architrave has an opening area. This has the disadvantage that a large insertion opening must be provided, which reduces the strength of the architrave that supports the furniture, and the plate 8 that closes the insertion opening must also be made of a large piece.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and even though the foot heater is equipped with a support fitting to support it by floating it above the floor, the insertion hole provided in the architrave of the furniture The object of the present invention is to provide a structure for attaching a foot heater to furniture that can be made smaller in size.

[Disclosure of invention]

That is, the mounting structure of the foot heater to furniture according to the present invention is such that the architrave 2 of the furniture 1 is provided with an insertion hole 4 through which the foot heater 3 is passed, and the foot heater is attached to the lower surface of the rear end of the foot heater 3. Reverse L so that it protrudes rearward from the rear end surface of 3.
The support fittings 5 of the mold are fixed, and the foot heater 3 is placed on the underside of the furniture 1 through the insertion opening 4 of the architrave 2, and the front part of the foot heater 3 is attached to the opening periphery of the insertion opening 4 of the architrave 2. At the same time, the rear part of the foot warmer 3 is supported by the support metal fitting 5. By making the support metal fitting 5 protrude rearward from the rear end surface of the foot warmer 3 and fixing it to the foot warmer 3, The above purpose is achieved by allowing only the support fitting 5 to be inserted into the underside of the furniture 1 through the insertion opening 4, and by allowing the insertion opening 4 to be large enough for the main body 9 of the foot heater 3 to pass through. This is what I did.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on illustrated embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, on the underside of furniture 1 such as a system kitchen, an architrave 2 is provided on the front side and a back plate 10 is provided on the rear side, and between the architrave 2 and the back plate 10. A storage section 11 is formed in which the foot heater 3 is stored. An insertion port 4 through which the foot heater 3 is inserted is formed at a proper position of the architrave 2, and an upper plate portion 12 is formed at the upper part of the insertion port 4, and a lower plate portion 13 is formed at the lower part of the insertion port 4. has been done. In the figure, 14 is a door attached to the front of the furniture 1 so as to be openable and closable.
The foot heater 3 is formed by a hot air generator that generates hot air and blows it out to the front side, and as shown in FIGS. It consists of a mounting bracket 15 attached to the front surface of the mounting bracket 15 and a plate 8 attached to the front surface of the mounting bracket 15. The mounting bracket 15 is provided with a switch 16 consisting of a foot switch, and a switch mounting bracket 17 is provided on the back side, and a hot air outlet 1 that blows out hot air is provided.
8. Air suction ports 19 for sucking air are provided respectively. The plate 8 also has a hot air outlet 20,
An air intake port 24 provided with an air filter port 21, a switch hole 22, and a filter 23 are provided, respectively. Now, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, on the lower surface of the rear end of the foot heater 3, there are fixed pieces 25 of an inverted L-shaped support fitting 5 consisting of a fixed piece 25 and a supporting piece 26 on the left and right sides. A pair is fixed to the. The support bracket 5 is attached to the foot so that the dimension L between the support piece 26 of the support bracket 5 and the rear end surface of the foot heater 3 is approximately the same as the thickness of the architrave 2, or greater than the thickness of the architrave 2. It is fixed to the heater 3 so as to protrude rearward. Furthermore, a horizontal piece 27 extends rearward from the lower end of the support piece 26.

Therefore, when installing the foot heater 3 on the underside of the furniture 1, as shown in FIG. Insert the metal fitting 5 so that it goes over the lower plate part 13, push the footwell heater 3 to the back, slide the horizontal piece 27 of the support metal fitting 5 on the floor surface 7, and move the footwell heater main body 9 onto the furniture 1. It is arranged in the storage section 11 of. As shown in FIG. 1, the front part of the foot heater 3 is supported by the lower surface of the opening edge of the insertion opening 4, that is, the lower plate part 13, and the rear end part is supported by the support metal fitting 5. It will be constructed above the floor level 7. Thereafter, the mounting bracket 15 and the plate 8 are fixed to the periphery of the insertion opening 4 of the architrave 2 with wood screws 28 or the like. In this way, the foot heater 3 is installed on the floor surface 7, and the influence of moisture and the like can be reduced, and water does not seep into the inside. In addition, since the support fitting 5 is fixed to the rear of the foot heater 3, there is no need to provide a special cradle or the like on the floor 7 to support the foot heater 3. There is an advantage that the machine 3 can be attached to any location on the architrave 2. In addition,
An outlet 29 is attached to the back plate 10, and an electric wire 30 led out from the switch 16 is connected thereto.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, in the present invention, an insertion hole is bored in the architrave of the furniture, and an inverted L-shaped support fitting is fixed to the lower surface of the rear end of the foot heater so as to protrude rearward from the rear end surface of the foot heater. Therefore, by first inserting only the support fittings into the underside of the furniture through the insertion hole, and then inserting the main body of the foot heater into the underside of the furniture through the insertion hole, the insertion hole is large enough for the main body of the foot warmer to pass through. It is not necessary to make the insertion hole larger than the size including the support plate as in the past, and the size of the insertion hole can be reduced to improve the strength of the architrave. This has the advantage that the plate that closes the insertion opening can be made smaller. In addition, since the foot heater can be attached from the front side of the furniture, there is an advantage that construction workability can be improved.
