Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate stowing and taking out of objects and prevent sleeping people from being disturbed by disposing a water receiver for receiving dropping water from the objects in a stowing cabinet, disposing a lighting apparatus at a ceiling portion of a continuous opening portion, and interlocking the turning on and off of the lighting apparatus with the opening and closing of a door. CONSTITUTION:A door 41 forms a continuous opening 5 from the side wall facing a sink 2 of the stowing cabinet 3 to the front wall connected to the side wall. A water receiver 6 receives water drops from objects stowed in the stowing cabinet 3. A lighting apparatus 7 for illuminating the inside of the stowing cabinet 3 provided with a protection cover 8 is lit when the door 4 is opened and put out when the door is closed. As the inside of the cabinet 3 and a worktop 1 are illuminated with the lighting apparatus 7 when the door is opened, stowing and taking out of the objects are facilitated. When going to bed, objects can be stowed merely by opening the door 4 without turning on a kitchen light so that sleeping people are not distributed. Because the cover 8 is provided for protecting the lighting apparatus, the lighting apparatus 7 is not broken at the time of stowing and taking out of the objects.
