1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention.

The same or equivalent members as the conventional ones will be described with the same reference numerals.

First, the structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a serving counter 3 is disposed between the kitchen side 1 and the dining side 2, and the rice cooker 11 and the toaster are adjacent to the side of the serving counter 3. A storage unit 13 that stores electric products and the like such as the range 12 is provided. To be precise, in this embodiment, the storage unit 13 is placed at the right end of the serving counter 3 in FIG.

The storage unit 13 has a unit main body 14 in which electric appliances such as a rice cooker 11 and a toaster range 12 are stored in and out, and the unit main body 1
4 and the door 15 that opens and closes the opening 14a. The unit main body 14 is provided with a shelf plate 14b inside, and the rice cooker 11 and the toaster range 12 are housed therein. The opening 14a of the unit body 14
Is facing the catering counter 3.

The door 15 is a so-called double door type door,
It is composed of a pair of plates 16. This plate 16 is
As shown in FIG. 3 or 4, grooves 16a are formed on the upper end surface and the lower end surface over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction.
Then, the projections 14c provided at the corners of the peripheral edge of the opening of the unit body 14 are inserted into the grooves 16a, and the plate 16
Rotates about the protrusion 14c in the direction of arrow A in FIG. A guide rail 14d having a U-shaped cross section is provided in the unit body 14, and the plate body 16 is slid and housed in the unit body 14 as shown in FIG. 4 while being guided by the guide rail 14d. It has become so.

Next, the operation will be described.

When using the rice cooker 11, the toaster range 12, etc., the plate 16 is rotated in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3 about the protrusion 14c, and then slid in the direction of arrow B in FIG. Then, the plate body 16 is housed in the unit body 14 (see the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 1). Then, the toaster range 12 or the like is used in a state of being stored in the unit main body 14 or in a state of being taken out from the opening 14a and placed on the catering counter 3. At this time, since the opening 14a faces the serving counter 3 side, the rice cooker 11 and the like can be used from either side of the kitchen side 1 and the dining side 2, and the usability is improved.

Further, the plate body 16 of the door 15 is attached to the unit main body 1
Since the opening 14a can be opened in the state of being housed in 4,
When using the toaster range 12 or the like from either the kitchen side 1 or the dining side 2, the door 15 does not get in the way, the usability is further improved, and the open state is left in this way. Even if it is kept, the door 15 does not spoil the appearance.

Also, the rice cooker 11 and the toaster range 12
When not using, these are stored in the unit main body 14 and the door 15 is closed so that the inside cannot be seen,
Especially, the aesthetics from the dining side 2 are not spoiled.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the storage unit is arranged adjacent to the dining counter between the kitchen side and the dining side, and the opening of the storage unit opens the serving counter side. Since it is facing, it is possible to take out electrical products etc. from the kitchen side or dining side through the opening on the catering counter,
