The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a guide projecting from above, a rod inserted into the guide and movable in the front-back direction, and a blind material covering the kitchen is provided on the rod so as to be able to be pulled down.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of kitchen equipment showing an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a floor cabinet 2 is arranged using four frames 1, and a counter 3 is provided thereon. counter 3
includes a deep sink 3a and a shallow second sink 3b.
By providing a cutting board A that can be slid in an area including between the sinks 3a and 3b, efficiency of kitchen work is improved. Further, a cooking utensil 4 is incorporated in a part of the floor cabinet 2, and a cook top 4a is protruded from the upper surface of the counter 3. Note that the sink 3a and the second sink 3b are provided with dedicated faucets 5a and 5b, respectively.

On the left side of the frame 1, there is a cutout top 4a.
A ventilation hood 6 used for cooking is fixed. Further, on the right side excluding the hood 6, an open shelf 7 is provided as a wall cabinet.

As shown in the perspective view in FIG.
~7d are integrated by a connecting rod 8a, and the topmost shelf board 7b is a net shelf 7 that protrudes greatly forward.
e are integrated by a connecting fitting 8b. The open shelf 7 is not only integrated with the back plate 7a to the frame 1 by screwing as shown in FIG. 1, but also attached to the wall W of the kitchen when the frame 1 is not provided as shown in FIG. The back plate 7a can also be fixed with screws or the like. Note that the net shelf 7e is surrounded by a wooden member, and a net basket 7f is placed therein.

A blind box 9 for hiding the front surface of the open shelf 7 is arranged between the topmost shelf board 7b and the net shelf 7e. This blind box 9 is
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a roll curtain 9a is provided as a blind material, and is used to hide the front surface of the open shelf 7 by pulling down the roll curtain 9a as necessary.

Also, on the left and right upper end surfaces of the shelf board 7b, a net shelf 7e is provided.
A pair of pipe-shaped guides 10 that protrude to the front side of the lamp are disposed, and a lighting fixture 11 is slidably held in the guides 10. That is, rods 12 made of pipe material inserted into the guide 10 are connected to both left and right ends of the lighting fixture 11, and the inside thereof is used for wiring cords and the like. As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, this lighting fixture 11 has a structure including a fluorescent lamp 11a inside and a cover 11b having a substantially triangular cross section. and,
This cover 11b can be operated manually or electrically.
It can be rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and the fluorescent lamp 1
The illumination area by 1a can be changed freely. Note that the means for moving the rod 12 in the front-back direction with respect to the guide 10 and the means for rotating the cover 11b are as follows:
Either manual or electric type may be used. Furthermore, a blind box 13 similar to that provided on the shelf board 7b is arranged on the front side of the cover 11b. This blind box 13 is equipped with a roll curtain 13a as a blind material,
It is used to hide the entire floor cabinet 2 included.

The blind boxes 9 and 13 have a structure that allows the respective roll curtains 9a and 13a to be pulled down with a light force. Further, a mechanism is provided in which by lowering the roll curtains 9a, 13a a little further downward from the lowered position, the members for winding these rotate in the opposite direction. Further, the roll curtains 9a, 13a may be raised and lowered electrically, and remote controlled by wire or wireless.

In the above configuration, an open shelf 7 is located on the back side of the counter 3 in place of the conventional cabinet type storage section. Therefore, articles such as tableware and cooking utensils can be taken in and out easily without having to handle doors or drawers. In addition, the opening is wide and the door does not protrude forward like a cabinet, so you can take out and take out the items you need by simply extending your arm, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
By using the net basket 7f of e to hang ladles, ladles, etc., these utensils can be immediately picked up and used conveniently when cooking.

Furthermore, since the shelf boards 7c and 7d are open spaces, it is also possible to store the items in such a way that they slightly protrude forward. That is, in the case of a cabinet type, it is necessary to close the door, so it is important to include the items to be stored within the area of the shelf board, but in the case of an open shelf 7, there is no restriction to this. Therefore, even bulky items such as tableware of various shapes and frying pans with arms can be efficiently stored, and the storage capacity is significantly improved compared to the cabinet type.

Furthermore, by providing the blind boxes 9 and 13, the front of the equipment can be hidden using the respective curtains 9a and 13a as shown in FIG. In this case, the curtain 9a of the blind box 9 located on the back side hides only the front of the open shelf 7, or the curtain 9a
The lower end of the floor cabinet 2 can be pulled down to the top of the floor cabinet 2 to hide the counter 3 as well. Incidentally, a hook 14 is provided on the front surface of the shelf 7d, and the lower end of the curtain 9a is hung on this hook, and when the counter 3 is to be hidden, it is preferable to hang it on the handle 2a of the floor cabinet 2. On the other hand, the curtain 13a of the blind 13 integrated with the lighting fixture 11 can hide the part including the counter 3 as shown in FIG. 4, or can be pulled down further to hang down to the floor. If the lighting fixture 11 is pulled out to the front, it can be pulled down to the floor at a position away from the counter 3 and the floor cabinet 2.

In this way, two blind boxes 9, 1
3, the entire kitchen equipment except the hood 6 side can be hidden from only the open shelf 7. Therefore, when tableware or the like is stored on the open shelf 7, it is possible to store it without damaging the appearance by hiding it with the curtain 9a. As mentioned above, if the open shelf 7 is used, the tableware can be stored without any problem even if the tableware protrudes forward, so if the curtain 9a is made to hang slightly forward of the shelves 7c and 7d, bulky tableware can be stored. Storage is also possible. In addition, compared to a door-type or pull-out type storage section, since the front side is simply covered with the curtain 9a, good ventilation is maintained and the bad influence of moisture is eliminated.

Furthermore, since the lighting fixture 11 can be pulled out from the front curtain 13a, the hanging position of the curtain 13a can be freely changed. Therefore, even if an unexpected visitor arrives during cooking, it is possible to hide the counter 3 where dishes, food, etc. are scattered.
Therefore, even with seven open shelves, the stored tableware can be easily set so that it is not exposed, and the tableware can be set in a manner that matches the surrounding kitchen environment during meals.

Note that the curtains 9a and 13a can also be provided on the front surface on the hood 6 side. In this case, the entire kitchen equipment can be covered by the curtain 9a or 13a. Therefore, even if the equipment is placed in a corner of a living room or the like, the living space can be used effectively without disturbing the atmosphere of the room.
It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the curtains 9a, 13a are pulled down and pulled up by rotating the winding shaft with an electric motor or the like. The operation panel for driving the electric motor may be built into the counter 3 or placed in front of the floor cabinet 2, for example. Note that it is of course possible to use a commonly used blind instead of the roll curtain in the embodiment.

As explained above, the kitchen equipment of the present invention is
A blind material covering the kitchen is provided so as to be movable in the front and rear directions. Therefore, when the kitchen equipment is not in use, by bringing it closer to the floor cabinet and lowering the blind material, a larger living space can be secured. Additionally, when you need to work in the kitchen when you have guests over, by pulling the rod out to the living room and lowering the blind material, you can secure the necessary space for the kitchen work, and you can work in the kitchen without being seen by the guests. The kitchen space can be used comprehensively and effectively.
