[Prior art]

Kitchen cabinets and table counters, which are conventional bases, focus only on the top function using the top plate, and the internal space below the top plate has the function of storing items as needed. was prepared for.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the conventional base mentioned above, there was no problem in using the top plate surface, but it was necessary to change the user's posture when storing items, and it was difficult to take out and put in especially heavy items. There were many inconveniences as I was forced into a certain position.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is devised for each of the article storage function and the article take-out/take-in function without impairing the top plate function of the base. The carrier has a structure that can be raised and lowered to perform the "B" function in the lowered state.
This is because it is installed on the base.

[For production]

At a position where the carrier rises and protrudes from the base top plate, "A" for taking out and loading stored articles into the interior of the carrier is performed.

In addition, at the position where the carrier is lowered into the base and stored, the "B" function is exerted at a position where the upper surface of the canopy of the carrier and the top plate surface of the base form the same surface. Since the base top plate surface portion and the top surface portion of the carrier canopy portion are on the same surface, the base top plate can be used without impairing its function.

[First Example] This example is an example of a kitchen cabinet, and will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the exterior of the carrier with it protruding upward from inside the cabinet and beyond the top of the cabinet, and the broken line shows a view of the carrier being lowered and stored inside the cabinet. show.

The cabinet as a base is used in a kitchen, and is equipped with a top plate 1 that has a top plate function for cooking, and the top plate 1 has a sink, a gas range, etc. is included.

Further, inside the lower part of the top plate 1, a space is provided in which items such as cooking utensils can be stored, and a plurality of doors are provided at desired locations on the side surface, and the doors can be opened and closed. It is designed to take out and take in articles stored inside.

On the other hand, the carrier 2 has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape, and all or part of the sides are open so that the articles stored therein can be easily taken out and taken in. It is desirable that the upper surface of the canopy of the carrier 2 has the function of a top plate device for cooking, and is not flat so that the top plate function can be performed. Further, the inside of the carrier 2 is provided with shelves and the like so that articles such as cooking utensils and tableware can be easily stored therein.

In this embodiment, one carrier 2 is provided in a part of the cabinet, and is also provided at the intersection of the L-shaped cabinets.

The lifting and lowering of the carrier 2 is performed by a lifting means (not shown), and the external lifting means is located inside the cabinet which is below the carrier 2 when the carrier 2 is raised and does not interfere with the lifting and lowering of the carrier 2. placed in position.

The operation of the cabinet having the above structure will be explained below.

When the carrier 2 is lifted upward from the inside of the cabinet by the lifting means, the carrier 2 protrudes from the top plate 1 of the cabinet, and the opening provided on the side of the carrier 2 is positioned above the top plate surface. It will open at . In this state, articles stored inside the carrier 2 can be taken out and taken in.

Similarly, when the carrier 2 is lowered downward into the cabinet, the carrier is stored inside the cabinet. In this state, the top surface of the canopy of the carrier 2 and the top plate of the cabinet form the same surface.

According to this embodiment, the position at which stored articles are taken out and taken in is at approximately the same height as the top plate 1, and can be taken out and taken in simply by horizontal movement.

Therefore, the user can efficiently take out and take in stored articles without changing his or her posture. This is particularly effective if the stored articles are heavy.

In addition, when the carrier 2 is in the lowered position, the upper surface of the canopy of the carrier 2 and the top plate of the cabinet are on the same surface. A carrier 2, which functions as a cooking table together with the board 1 and stores articles, is stored in the cabinet.

Furthermore, at the intersection of the above-mentioned rectangular cabinet,
Due to the structure, it is not possible to install a door, and items stored at the intersection were taken out and taken in from door 3 or door 4, but other items stored near the door became an obstacle, preventing the intended storage from being carried out. It was difficult to take out and put in items. However, when the carrier 2 is provided at the intersection, the stored articles can be easily taken out and taken in on the cabinet top plate 1 when the carrier 2 is raised. Therefore, this embodiment contributes to the effective use of the intersecting portions of L-shaped cabinets, which are inconvenient for storage because they cannot be provided with doors.

In addition, even in a linear kitchen cabinet as shown in Figure 2, especially a wide-depth cabinet, if the carrier 2 is installed on the opposite side of the door, other stored items near the door will become an obstacle. Without this, the intended stored articles located deeper than the door can be easily taken out and taken in on the cabinet top plate 1, and the lower internal space of the cabinet top plate 1 can be effectively utilized.

In addition, a dishwasher may be stored as a specific example of the stored article in the carrier of this embodiment, and in this case, the operating noise is sound-proofed by the outer wall of the cabinet, so the operating noise can be reduced. Furthermore, if a soundproofing material is provided on the base body, the reduction effect can be further enhanced.

[Second Embodiment] This embodiment is an example of a table counter, and will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the appearance of the carrier with it protruding upward from inside the table counter body and above the top plate surface, and the broken line shows the state of the carrier being lowered and stored inside the table counter body. The figure is shown below.

A table counter serving as a base is used to partition a kitchen and a dining room, and is composed of a main body 6 and a top plate 5. The top plate 5 is located at the top of the main body 6,
It is formed to protrude from the main body 6. Inside the main body 6, there is a space where articles can be stored, and the top plate 5 has a top plate function as a dining table for eating.

On the other hand, like the first embodiment, the carrier 7 has a box-like shape with an opening at a desired position, and its canopy is made flat so that it can function as a top plate for a dining table. Moreover, shelves and the like are provided inside the container so that articles can be easily stored.

In this embodiment, one carrier 7 is provided at a position where it can be stored in the main body 6.

Further, the lifting and lowering of the carrier 7 is performed by a lifting means (not shown) similar to the first embodiment.

The operation of the table counter having the above structure will be explained below.

When the carrier 7 is raised from the inside of the main body 6 by the lifting means, the carrier 7 protrudes from the top plate 5, and the carrier 7
The opening portion opens above the top plate 5. In this state, articles stored inside the carrier 7 can be taken out and taken in.

Similarly, when the carrier 7 is lowered toward the inside of the main body 6, the carrier 7 is stored inside the main body 6, and in this state, the upper surface of the canopy of the carrier 7 and the top plate 5 form the same plane. In this state, when the canopy of the carrier 7 has a top plate function, the carrier 7 containing articles is stored inside the main body 6 while having the function as a dining table together with the top plate 5.

Furthermore, in the case of a table counter, it is necessary to fit a chair into the space below the top plate 5, and the top plate 5 is formed to protrude from the main body 6. Therefore, when taking out or taking in stored articles from the side of the main body 6, the user has to crawl into the space below the protruding top plate 5, making it difficult to take out or take in the stored articles.

However, since the stored articles can be easily taken out and taken in on the top plate 5 when the carrier 7 is raised, the articles can be stored efficiently.

〔Effect of the invention〕

By using the base according to the present invention, the top plate function provided on the base can be used while the carrier containing articles is stored in the base, and the top plate function provided on the base can be used while the carrier is in an elevated state. Therefore, it is possible to easily take out and take in stored articles on the base top plate.

Therefore, the stored items can be taken out and taken in by simply moving them horizontally, and the user can take out and take in the stored items in the same posture as when using the top plate function.

Moreover, since the position where the articles are stored is different from the position where they are taken out and taken in, the stored articles can be taken out and taken in on the top plate regardless of the surrounding conditions of the stored carrier.

Therefore, even on a base that has not conventionally been designed for storing articles, efficient article storage can be achieved by providing an elevator.
