A kitchen device according to the present invention is provided with a step portion extending in the longitudinal direction at a rear portion and a front portion of an upper surface of a worktop having a sink and a cooking surface on the upper surface, and between the front and rear step portions. Is a bridge provided with a lighting fixture above the rear part, and is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the worktop, and outside the rising wall of the front and rear stepped portions of the worktop,
A primary coil connected to a power source is provided, and a secondary coil for supplying an induced current from the primary coil is provided inside the rising wall of the tray corresponding to the primary coil, and the secondary coil and the lighting device are electrically connected. It is configured as follows.

Further, the tray has a structure in which a rising wall is provided at a rear portion thereof, an article placing plate horizontally extending toward the front is provided at an upper end of the rising wall, and an illuminating device is provided at a lower portion of the placing shelf. It is a thing.

[0007]

In the kitchen device of the present invention, a step portion extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the rear and front portions of the upper surface of the work top having a sink and a cooking surface on the upper surface, and between the front and rear step portions, a lighting tool is provided above the rear portion. A bridge provided with a tray is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the worktop, and a primary coil connected to a power source is provided outside the rising wall of the front and rear step portions of the worktop. A secondary coil for supplying an induced current from the primary coil is provided inside the rising wall of the tray, and the secondary coil and the lighting device are configured to be electrically connected. Workability can be improved and safety can be improved by ensuring the brightness even when the work such as cutting vegetables is moved to any position on the worktop.

Further, the tray is constructed such that a rising wall is provided at a rear portion thereof, an article placing shelf horizontally extending to the front is provided at an upper end of the rising wall, and an illuminating device is provided at a lower portion of the placing shelf. Therefore, the placing shelf can be used for work such as catering, and as a result, the work space can be expanded and workability can be improved.

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

1 and 2, reference numeral 6 denotes a sink, on which a work top 8 is mounted on the upper surface of a cabinet 7. 9
Is a sink, and 10 is a cooking surface, which is arranged on the upper surface of the worktop 8. A step portion 11 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed on the rear and front portions of the upper surface of the work top 8, and a tray 12 that is movable is provided on the step portion 11.
The tray 12 is composed of an article placing shelf 13 horizontally extending in front of the upper end of the rear rising wall, and an illuminator 14 below the article placing shelf 13.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 15 denotes a primary coil arranged on the entire rear surface of the stepped portion 11, which supplies electric power to the secondary coil 12a buried in the rear portion of the tray 12 by an induced current and electrically to the secondary coil 12a. Power is supplied to the connected luminaire 14.

In the above structure, a step portion 11 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the rear portion and the front portion of the upper surface of the work top 8 having the sink 9 and the cooking surface on the upper surface, and between the front and rear step portions, the illuminator is located above the rear portion. The tray 12 provided with 14 is bridged,
A primary coil 15 is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the worktop 8 and is connected to a power source on the entire rear surface of the step portion 11 of the worktop 8, and the corresponding rising wall of the tray 12 is provided. Inside said primary coil 1
5 is provided with a secondary coil 12a to which an induced current is fed,
Since the secondary coil 12a and the lighting device 14 are configured to be electrically connected to each other, work such as cutting vegetables using the tray 12 is surely performed at any position on the worktop 8. Since it is possible to secure the brightness, workability and safety can be improved.

Further, the tray 12 is provided with a rising wall at a rear portion thereof, an article placing shelf 13 extending horizontally toward the front is provided at an upper end of the rising wall, and an illuminator 14 is provided at a lower portion of the placing shelf 13 described above. As a result, the mounting shelf 13 can be used for work such as catering, and as a result, the work space can be expanded and workability can be improved, and the effect of the present invention can be achieved.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, according to the present invention, a step portion extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the rear portion and the front portion of the upper surface of the worktop having the sink and the cooking surface on the upper surface, Between the front and rear step portions, a tray provided with an illuminating device above the rear portion is bridged so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the worktop, and a power source is provided outside the rising wall of the front and rear step portions of the worktop. A connected primary coil is provided, and a secondary coil for supplying an induced current from the primary coil is provided inside the corresponding rising wall of the tray, and the secondary coil and the lighting device are electrically connected. Since it is configured so that work such as cutting vegetables using the tray can reliably secure the brightness regardless of the position on the worktop, workability can be improved and safety can be improved. Thing .

Further, the tray is provided with a rising wall at the rear part thereof, and at the upper end of the rising wall is provided an article loading shelf which extends horizontally toward the front, and an illumination device is provided at the lower part of the loading shelf described above. The placing shelf can be used for work such as catering, and as a result, the work space is expanded and the workability can be improved.
