Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily wash the stepped recessed part of a kitchen cabinet, and also to keep a detergent container, washing tools, or the like in a dry condition by forming a stepped recessed part for placing the detergent container, washing tools, or the like that has been opened only toward the front and upward in the top board part of the upper rear peripheral part of a water tank, so that the washing of the stepped recessed part can be facilitated. CONSTITUTION: A draining stepped part 8 is formed in the top board 2 surrounding a water tank 3, so that the water splashed from the water tank 3 can be prevented from being spread on the working surface or the like. In the stepped part 8a of the draining stepped part 8, a stepped recessed part 11 only opened toward the front and upward for placing a detergent container in which a detergent of liquid or powder is contained or for placing washing tools such as a washing sponge or scrubbing brush is formed. The bottom surface of the stepped recessed part 11 is sloped down toward the front. As a result, the washing of the stepped recessed part can be facilitated, and also since the stepped recessed part is positioned in the upper part of the water tank, the detergent container, washing tools, or the like placed thereon are prevented from being splashed with water, and they can sanitarily be kept.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kitchen cabinet having a water tank such as a sink and a system kitchen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the following types of kitchen cabinets have been known. One of them is that a through hole that opens vertically is formed in the top plate portion behind the upper edge of the water tank.
A pot having a flange at the upper end is detachably fitted into the through hole, and a detergent container, a washing tool, etc. are stored in the pot. The other one is that the rear side wall of the water tank is concavely curved rearward to form a recess in the water tank, and a basket is detachably attached to this recess, and a detergent container, a washing tool, etc. are stored in this basket. It was done like this.

[0003]

Disadvantages of the Prior Art The conventional kitchen cabinet has the following drawbacks. The former has a drawback that cleaning of the pot is troublesome, and the latter is unsanitary because the detergent container / washing tool is constantly splashed with water.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Disadvantages] The present invention employs the following means in order to eliminate the above disadvantages. The present invention
The top plate portion at the rear of the upper edge of the water tank is provided with a step-down recessed portion for placing a detergent container, a washing tool, etc., which is opened only in the front and upper portions.

[0005]

The present invention has the following functions. The top plate part behind the upper edge of the water tank has step-drop recesses for placing detergent containers, washing tools, etc. that are open only in the front and above, so it is easy to wash the step-drop recesses. Since there is a stepped recess at the top of the aquarium,
Water is unlikely to splash on the detergent container / washing tool, etc. placed in the stepped recess, and as a result, the detergent container / washing tool, etc. can be kept in a hygienic state with little moisture.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below based on two embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 3) In this Embodiment 1, the front means the lower side of FIG. 1, the rear means the upper side of FIG. 1, and the left means the left side of FIG. 1 and the right side. Refers to the right side.

The sink 1 has a cabinet body, a top plate 2 made of metal or the like for covering the upper surface of the cabinet body, and a water tank 3 made of metal or the like provided in an opening of the top plate 2. The top plate 2 has a back guard 5, a work surface 6 and the like.

At the portion of the top plate 2 surrounding the water tank 3, a water edge cutting step 8 is formed to prevent the water splashing from the water tank 3 from spreading to the work surface 6 and the like as much as possible. A water tap 9 is attached to a rear portion 8a of the water edge cutting step drop portion 8. Further, on the rear portion 8a of the water edge cutting step drop portion 8,
A step-down concave portion 11 is formed on the front and the upper side for placing a detergent container / washing tool (washing sponge, scrubbing brush, etc.) containing a liquid or powder detergent that is opened. The bottom surface 11a of the step-down concave portion 11 is inclined downward toward the front.

An article drop prevention bar 13 is mounted above the front and left and right portions of the stepped drop recess 11 and a back guard 5 is attached as follows. That is, a pair of left and right cylindrical bodies 16 are attached to the back guard 5 in the following manner with their axes oriented vertically, and the downward facing portions 1 of the left and right ends of the article drop prevention bars 13 are attached to these cylindrical bodies 16.
3a is detachably fitted. After the threaded rod 17 provided on the tubular body 16 is fitted into the through hole 18 formed in the back guard 5, the threaded rod 17 is fitted with the nut 19.
It is attached to the back guard 5 by screwing. The through-hole of the cylindrical body 16 and the downward portion 13a of the article fall prevention bar 13 are both tapered slightly (slightly to the extent that they are not clearly shown in the drawing).

Example 2 (see FIG. 4) A cage 21 made of a metal wire is placed in the step-down recess 11.

[0012]

[Modifications, etc.] Modifications will be described below. (1) The means for attaching the article drop prevention bar 13 is arbitrary. (2) The water edge cutting step drop portion 8 may be omitted.

[0013]

The present invention has the following effects due to the above-described structure. According to the invention of claim 1, since the top plate portion at the rear of the upper edge of the water tank is formed with the step-down concave portion for mounting the detergent container, the washing tool, etc. which are open only to the front and the upper side, It is easy to wash the drop recess, and since the step drop recess is located at the top of the water tank, it is difficult for the detergent container / washing tool, etc. placed on the drop recess to get wet.
It is possible to keep washing tools, etc., in a hygienic condition with little moisture. According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the step-drop recess is opened only forward and upward, the liquid detergent or washing tool dripping from the detergent container onto the bottom of the step-drop recess drips onto the bottom of the step-drop recess. Since the dropped water or the like does not spread over the stepped recessed portion to the surroundings, the periphery of the stepped recessed portion can be kept hygienic and the periphery of the stepped recessed portion can be easily cleaned. According to the invention of claim 2, since the bottom surface of the step-falling recess is inclined downward toward the front, the liquid detergent or washing tool dripping from the detergent container to the bottom surface of the step-falling recess is transferred to the bottom surface of the step-falling recess. Since the dripping water and the like can be smoothly discharged to the water tank, the stepped recess can be kept hygienic. According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the detergent container, the washing tool, and the like placed on the bottom surface of the step-falling recess from falling down or dropping to the water tank side.
