Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 1. Purpose of the Invention The present invention relates to a draining rack device used in kitchens and the like.

Today's popular drain shelves are usually fixed below the dish rack or cupboard that is mounted on the wall close to the ceiling directly above the sink, so they are located directly in front of kitchen workers and can be a nuisance. I was getting used to it. Therefore, in order to avoid this interference, the draining rack can only be installed in a position above the head that can be easily reached, resulting in extremely poor workability.

Therefore, in this invention, when in use, the mounting position of the draining shelf is placed as low as possible within reach without stretching one's back, and when not in use after draining has been completed and dishes etc. have been put away elsewhere, the draining shelf does not get in the way. The purpose is to provide a device that can be moved to a high position.

2. Structure of the invention The structure and operation of the invention will be explained with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

A is a tableware box installed above the kitchen sink in a position where the entire area can be easily reached, and the width of this tableware box is arbitrary. 1 is a guide plate fixed to the lower end of both the left and right sides of the tableware box a, and vertical grooves 2, 2 provided on the left and right sides of this guide plate are provided with hanging plates 8, 8, which will be described later.
is inserted and becomes able to move up and down. 3, 3 are minor grooves formed adjacent to the inside of the vertical grooves 2, 2;
Brakes 4, 4, which rotate only in a counterclockwise direction, are firmly pivoted 5, 5 to a part of this sub-groove using caulking pins.
The shape of the brake elements 4, 4 is rectangular as a whole,
V-shaped right-angled grooves 6, 6 are formed on the short sides thereof facing each other, and flat parts 7, 7 are formed on the long sides thereof facing each other.
Reference numerals 8 and 8 denote hanging plates that fit into the vertical grooves 2 and 2 of the guide plate 1, and the upper ends of both hanging plates are integrally formed by an upper horizontal hanging plate 9, and the lower ends of both hanging plates is integrally constructed by a lower horizontal hanging plate 9'. Reference numerals 10 and 10 denote grooves provided on the inner surface of the lower end portions near the lower horizontal hanging plates 9' of the hanging plates 8, 8, and upper and lower outer corner portions 10' of the grooves,
10', 10'', 10'' form right angles. 11,11
is a projecting rod that is vertically protruded at an appropriate interval from the inner side of the hanging plates 8, 8 at the lower part of the grooves 10, 10, and the tip of this projecting rod is located below the grooves 10, 10. It is located at the same height as the outer corner portions 10'', 10'', and comes into contact with and separates from the right angle grooves 6, 6 of the brake elements 4, 4. Reference numeral 12 denotes a shelf constructed with an appropriate number of pipes between the left and right lower and horizontal hanging plates 9', 9', and the pipes constituting this shelf are made by fitting pipes of different sizes and diameters so that they can expand and contract. Erect according to the required length. Therefore, in the drawing, the pipes can be freely expanded and contracted to match the width of the tableware box a to which the hanging plates 8, 8 are attached.
2.

Therefore, the shelf 1 in front of you, shown in Figure 1,
When trying to store the 12th part of the receiving shelf upwards and put it into the unused state from the used state of the 2nd part (Fig. 1→
In Fig. 2), first, one plane part 7 of the brake 4 shown in Fig. 3 touches the inner surface of the hanging plates 8, 8, and the hanging plates 8, 8 and the lower horizontal hanging plate 9' are suspended to the maximum. Push this up from the current state. Eventually, the lower horizontal hanging plate 9'
When approaching the guide plate 1, the tip of the protruding rod 11 at the lower end of the hanging plates 8, 8 enters the sub groove 3 of the guide plate 1 and hits one right angle groove 6 of the brake 4. At this time,
The grooves 10, 10 inside the hanging plates 8, 8 come into contact with the upper position of the tip of the projecting rod 11. (4th
(See figure) Finally, when the tips of the projecting rods 11, 11 engage with the downward right-angled grooves 6 of the brakes 4, 4 and stop, the brakes 4, 4 rotate slightly counterclockwise and hang up. The grooves 10 on the plates 8 and 8 are slightly inclined in the direction of the grooves 10 (see FIG. 5). When you release your hand from the lower horizontal suspension plate 9', both suspension plates 8 and 8 will fall slightly under their own weight, so the tip of the projecting rod 11 will separate from the downward right-angled groove 6 and the suspension plate 9' will move downward. Grooves 10, 10 on plates 8, 8
The upper outer corner portion 10' engages with the upwardly directed right angle groove 6 of the brakes 4, 4 and is stopped (see FIG. 6). At this time, the brakes 4, 4 are inclined at approximately 45 degrees. As a result, the draining shelf is moved upward to a position where it does not get in the way and is fixed, as shown in FIG.

Next, when changing from this unused state to a used state, first push up the lower horizontal hanging plate 9'. Then, the tip of the projecting rod 11 hits a part of the flat part 7 on the outside of the downward right-angled groove 6 of the brakes 4, 4, which is inclined at about 45 degrees, and rotates the brakes 4, 4 horizontally. Then, the concave grooves 10, 10 of the suspension plates 8, 8 which directly adjoin the brake
Place it horizontally and stop it (see Figures 7 and 8).
Then, when you let go of the hand that was pushing up the lower horizontal hanging plate 9', the hanging plates 8, 8 part will descend as they are due to their own weight, but at that time, the upper and outer corner parts 10' of the grooves 10, 10,
10' is a horizontal plane part 7 of the brakes 4, 4,
7, press down and rotate the brake 90 degrees to make it vertical.
(See Figure 3). As a result, the hanging plates 8, 8 and the receiving shelf 12 are ready for use as shown in FIG.

3 Effects of the invention In this way, the present invention has hanging plate parts 8, 8 in which the receiving shelf parts 12 are installed between the lower ends of the guide plates 1, 1, which are fixed to the left and right sides at appropriate intervals, on the front and rear sides. ,9,
Vertical grooves 2, 2 into which the rods 9' are inserted are provided, and projecting rods 11, 1 are provided near the lower end of one side of the left and right hanging plates 8, 8.
1, and grooves 10, 10 having upper and lower outer corners 10', 10'' are provided on the side surface of the hanging plate in the upper part from the tip of the lifting rod, so that the tip of the lifting rod can be moved up and down by the vertical movement of the hanging plate. Brakes 4, 4 that approach and separate are provided in sub-grooves 3, 3 adjacent to the vertical grooves 2, 2 of the guide plates so as to be able to rotate in one direction, and the concave grooves of the hanging plates are provided on the side surfaces of the brakes. The brake element can be rotated into the concave groove when adjacent to the brake element, and the brake element has square grooves 6, 6 formed on two opposing surfaces and flat parts 7, 7 formed on the other two opposing surfaces. This feature allows kitchen workers to quickly move the drain shelf above the sink up and down with a single touch to switch between a used state and a non-used state. This eliminates the need for the dish drainer shelf to be right in front of you and get in the way, and when you need the dish drainer shelf, you can use it at the lowest possible position in front of you, making it easier to wash dishes and drain dishes without getting tired. This makes it extremely convenient, and since the draining shelf can be set at a low position, the upper cupboards to which it is attached can also be installed at a low enough position that it can be easily reached. Furthermore, when installing a drainer shelf, the pipe rows in the receiving shelf part can be adjusted to match the width of the cupboards above, so installation is always easy and convenient. It can be carried out quickly and has great practical effects.
