Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to furniture with a foot heater, such as a system kitchen, in which the heater is disposed at the bottom of the furniture to heat the feet.

[Background technology] Conventionally, systems have been put into practical use in which a heater that generates warm air is installed on the underside of furniture such as system kitchens, and the warm air is blown out to the feet from an opening in the architrave of the furniture. It is shown in Publication No. 50-59049.
However, with conventional devices of this kind, installing the heater inside the architrave can only be done with the architrave alone or with the furniture upside down, which makes it difficult to install the heater inside the architrave. It was extremely difficult to install a heater.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the purpose is to provide furniture with a foot heater that allows the heater to be easily installed even if it is retrofitted. be.

[Disclosure of the invention] That is, the furniture with a foot heater of the present invention is equipped with a heater that is inserted into the architrave through an opening made in the architrave of the furniture, and the heater is installed on the front side of the architrave. It is equipped with a hot air outlet and a push button for turning on and off, and is characterized by having a supporting metal fitting attached to the rear end that protrudes backward and is bent downward so that the tip touches the ground. Although it is possible to insert the heater into the architrave through the formed opening, and even though it can be installed in this way, the presence of the support fittings prevents the heater from being suspended above the floor. It is something that can be installed.

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 housing section 11 is formed in which the heater 3 is housed. An opening 4 through which the heater 3 is inserted is formed at a suitable position in the architrave 2, an upper plate part 12 is formed at the upper part of the opening 4, and a lower plate part 13 is formed at the lower part of the opening 4. ing. In the figure, 14 is a door attached to the front of the furniture 1 so as to be openable and closable. heating machine 3
is formed by a hot air generator that blows hot air from the front side, and as shown in Figures 2 to 4, there is a main body 9 with a built-in fan, heater, etc. It is composed of a metal fitting 15 and a plate 8 attached to the front surface of the mounting metal fitting 15. A switch 1 is attached to the end of the mounting bracket 15.
6, and a switch mounting bracket 17 is provided on the back side of the mounting bracket 15, from which an electric wire 30 is led out. This switch 16 is provided with a push button 31, and when the push button 31 is pressed and retracted, the heater 3 is turned on, and when it is pushed further, it is pushed out and the heater 3 is turned off. Formed by an off switch. Further, the mounting bracket 15 is provided with a hot air outlet 18 for blowing out hot air, and an air suction port 19 for sucking air. The plate 8 also has a hot air outlet 20, an air filter opening 21, a switch hole 22 through which the switch 16 is passed, and the filter 2.
3 are respectively provided with air inlets 24. Further, on the lower surface of the rear end of the main body 9 of the heater 3, as shown in FIGS.
A pair of fixing pieces 25 are fixed on the left and right sides. The support bracket 5 is attached to the heater so that the dimension L between the support piece 26 of the support bracket 5 and the rear end surface of the heater 3 is approximately the same as the thickness of the architrave 2, or greater than or equal to the thickness of the architrave 2. 3 so as to protrude rearward. Furthermore, a horizontal piece 27 extends rearward from the lower end of the support piece 26. Outlet 2 on back board 10
9 is attached and the electric wire 30 is connected.

In order to attach this heater 3 to the lower surface of the furniture 1, as shown in FIG. 13, push the heater 3 as it is, slide the horizontal piece 27 of the support fitting 5 on the floor surface 7, and remove the heater 3 main body 9.
is arranged in the storage section 11 of the furniture 1. The front part of the heater 3 is supported by the lower surface of the opening edge of the opening part 4, that is, the lower plate part 13, and the rear end part is supported by the support fitting 5, so that it is raised from above the floor surface 7. It will be erected at the location. Thereafter, the mounting bracket 15 and the plate 8 are fixed to the periphery of the opening 4 of the architrave 2 with wood screws 28 or the like. In this way, the heater 3 is installed on the floor surface 7, and it is possible to reduce the influence of moisture and the like, and also to prevent water from seeping into the interior. In addition, a support metal fitting 5 is attached to the rear of the heater 3.
Because the heater 3 is fixed on the floor 7,
There is no need to provide a special pedestal for supporting the heater 3, and there is an advantage that the heater 3 can be attached to any location on the architrave 2. Now, the heater 3 is exposed to the front side through the opening 4 of the architrave 2, and the push button 31 of the switch 16 protrudes forward from the front surface of the architrave 2. The switch 16 can be easily operated by pushing it with the foot as shown in Fig. 6, and there is no need to operate the switch 16 in a crouched position as in the past. When the switch 16 is turned on and the heater 3 is activated, hot air is blown out from the hot air outlet 20 forward, which particularly heats the feet.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, the heater, which is inserted into the architrave through the opening made in the architrave of the furniture, protrudes rearward from the rear end and bends downward. Since the support metal fittings are attached to the architrave and the tip thereof is grounded, when storing the heater inside the architrave, first pass the support metal fittings through the opening formed in the architrave, and then insert the support metal fittings into the architrave through the opening. All you need to do is turn on a heater, and it is easy to install the heater inside the architrave so that it is floating above the floor from the front side of the architrave. In addition to the air outlet, there is an on/off push button, so you can press the button with your foot to switch, and you don't have to be in a crouched position to operate the heater. It is easy to use.
