Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve working environment by a method wherein a door on a side wall of a housing cabinet opposing to a sink is designed rotatable upward to be opened with an upper end of the sink of the housing cabinet as pivot point so that a window is not shielded by the door. CONSTITUTION:A work top 6 is placed on an upper surface of a lower cabinet 7 and a housing cabinet 8 is arranged on one side of a sink 9 provided on the work top 6 near the sink 9. A door 10 to open and close a side wall of the housing cabinet 8 opposing to the sink 9 is formed of a hinge 12, an arc- shaped stage plate 13 to hold the door 10, a supporter 14 and a spring 15. Even if a user draws off his hand from the door 10 which is opened, a plurality of recessed parts 13C provided in the stage plate 13 are held by the supporter 14 so that the door 10 does not close by its own weight. In this constitution, the door 10 is designed to be opened upward with an upper end of the housing cabinet 8 on the sink side as its pivot shaft 13b. Thus, in a plan in which a window A is formed behind the work top 6, the window A is never shielded by the door 10.

[0004]

In such a conventional structure, in the plan in which the window A is present behind the worktop 1, the door 4 shown in FIG. There was a problem such as closing a part of the window A to block the daylight.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a kitchen apparatus having a good working environment.

[0006]

In the kitchen apparatus of the present invention, a storage cabinet is arranged close to the sink in an eye level space on the side of the sink provided on the worktop,
This storage cabinet is opened and closed by a door that opens and closes the side wall facing the sink and the opening portion of the front wall that is connected to this side wall. It can be moved and opened freely.

[0007]

In the kitchen apparatus according to the present invention, the door on the side wall facing the sink of the storage cabinet is pivotally moved upward with the upper end of the storage cabinet on the sink side as a pivot, so that it can be opened freely. In the plan with windows, the work environment is good because the windows do not obstruct the windows.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, 6 is a worktop, which is mounted on the upper surface of the lower cabinet 7. Reference numeral 8 denotes a storage cabinet, which is disposed on the side of the sink 9 provided on the worktop 6 and close to the sink 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes a door that opens and closes a side wall of the storage cabinet 8 that faces the sink, and includes a hinge 12 that opens and closes the door, an arc-shaped stay plate 13 that holds the door, a support tool 14 that holds the stay board 13, and a support tool 14 as a stay board. Since the support tool 14 is configured by the pressing spring 15, the support tool 14 presses the recesses 13c provided in the stay plate 13 even when the operator releases the door 10 with the door 10 open. The door 10 is not closed by its own weight, and the locking portion 13a of the stay plate 14 prevents the door 10 from opening and closing by 90 degrees or more. 13b is a pivot shaft. Further, since the plurality of recesses 13c are provided, the door 1
The opening and closing angle of 0 can be changed freely.

In the above structure, the side wall door 10 facing the sink 9 of the storage cabinet 8 is provided in the storage cabinet 8.
Since the upper end of the sink side of the work piece is configured to be freely opened upward with the pivot axis b, in a plan in which the window A exists behind the worktop 6, there is no need to block the window with a door, and the work environment can be improved. It can be washed and stored in good condition.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. 3 to 4 show another embodiment. In this embodiment, a hinge 16 is provided at a middle portion of a door 10 that opens and closes an opening portion of a side wall of the storage cabinet 8 facing the sink 9 at the time of opening. As a result, the door 10 is made smaller and the opening and closing of the door 10 is made compact, and as a result, the door 10 can be installed in a narrow space. ..

5 to 6 show another embodiment. In this embodiment, the door 10 is opened and closed by the gear 17 attached to the arc-shaped stay plate 13 and the door 1 is opened by the hinge 16.
It is arranged so that it can be folded in the middle of zero.
A drive motor 18 capable of forward and reverse rotation and stopping is attached to the upper part of the storage cabinet 8, and a pulley 19 is attached to the drive motor 18, and the rotation of the drive motor 18 by a belt 20 causes the pulley 21 and the pulley 21 to rotate. Is transmitted to the pulley 23 to which one end of the wire rope 22 is connected. The pulley 21 is connected by a belt 24 to a pulley 26 attached to an L-shaped metal fitting 25, and is connected by a belt 28 to a gear 27 attached to one end of the L-shaped metal fitting 25. The metal fitting 25 is rotatably mounted coaxially with the pulley 21, and is arranged so that the gear 27 comes into contact with the gear 17 by a spring 29. One end of the metal fitting 25 is keyed and has an arc-shaped stay plate. When the convex portion 13a of 13 reaches the lowermost stage, the convex portion 13a pulls the metal fitting 25, and the gear 27 is arranged so as to be disconnected from the gear 17. One end of the wire rope 22 is connected to a slide rail 31 at the bottom of the door 10 through a guide roller 30. Also, 32
Is a switch for moving the drive motor 18. A sensor 34 is attached to the upper end of the opening and a sensor 35 is attached to the lower end of the opening so that the sensor 34 can be opened when the door 10 is completely opened.
The door 10 contacts the sensor 35 when closed,
It is configured to stop the drive motor 18. In addition,
The same mechanism as above is configured in the door 11, and the door 10 and the door 11 are connected by the L-shaped frame 36 having slide rails 31 connecting the wire rope 22 at both ends. When 22 is wound up and rewound on the pulley 23, it is opened and closed at the same time.

[0013]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiment, according to the present invention, the side wall door facing the sink of the storage cabinet is pivoted upward with the upper end of the storage cabinet on the sink side as the pivotal support. Since it can be moved and opened freely, in a plan where there is a window behind the worktop, there is an effect that washing work and storage work can be performed in a good working environment without blocking the window with the door. ..
