Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cabinet chair for sitting and working on a sink or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, work on a sink is performed in a standing posture, so that a long time work puts a strain on the legs. Therefore, the work is performed by working toward the dining table or by using a chair with a space under the sink to put a knee in the cabinet.

1 is a sectional view of a cabinet chair according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the cabinet chair according to the same embodiment, showing a state in which the cabinet chair is pulled out. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the cabinet chair according to the same embodiment, showing a state in which the cabinet chair is stored. FIG. 4 is a partial side view of the cabinet chair according to the same embodiment, showing a state where the chair is not seated. FIG. 5 is a partial side view of the cabinet chair according to the same embodiment, which is in a seated state.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cabinet chair 7 is provided with a seat 1, a leg 2 and a cover 3 which serves as a stopper by coming into contact with the floor. A cabinet chair 7 in which the lower portion of the supporting leg portion 2 is connected to a column 6 formed in a cabinet 10 and which rotates in a horizontal direction around the column 6, which covers the lower portion of the leg portion 2 from the floor surface. A cover 3 is attached that is floated and moves integrally with the leg 2, and a spring 4 is interposed between the lower end of the leg 2 and a caster 5. When the seat 1 is seated, a load is applied to the spring 4, The contraction causes the cover 3 to move downward and come into contact with the floor.

The cover 3 may be a stopper attached below the leg portion 2, but since the cover 3 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided, the contact area of the cabinet chair 7 with the floor increases. In addition to being securely fixed to the floor, cleaning can be easily performed even when dust or the like falls near the legs 2, and the appearance of the cabinet chair 7 is not impaired.

A space open to the front is formed below the sink 9 for the operator's foot to enter, and a footrest 8 on which the operator's foot is placed is installed below the space.

The cover 3 is attached to the leg portion 2 so as to cover the lower portion of the leg portion 2 by welding, screws, or the like so as to float above the floor surface, and moves integrally with the leg portion 2. Further, the spring 4 is interposed between the lower end of the leg 2 and the caster 5, and the leg 2 is supported by the repulsive force of the spring 4.

Accordingly, when the seat 4 is seated, a load is applied to the spring 4 and the spring 4 contracts, whereby the cover 3 moves downward and comes into contact with the floor.

That is, since the caster 5 is installed at the lower end of the leg portion 2 via the spring 4, when the operator sits on the seat portion 1 and a load is applied to the leg portion 2, the spring 4 contracts and the leg portion is compressed. The position of the portion 2 moves downward, and with this, the position of the cover 3 also moves downward and comes into contact with the floor surface. As a result, the casters 5 cannot move, and the position of the cabinet chair 7 is fixed and stable. This state is shown in FIG.

When the seat portion 1 is not seated, the cabinet chair 7 can be rotated about the column 6 by the casters 5. This state is shown in FIG.

The cabinet chair 7 can be housed in the cabinet 10. When the cabinet chair 7 is used, the door of the cabinet 10 is opened, and the cabinet chair 7 is rotated about the support column 6 so that the cabinet 10 can be rotated. It is taken out from the inside and used, and when it is not used, the chair 7 for the cabinet is rotated around the column 6 and stored in the cabinet 10.

The column 6 is mounted at a position convenient for using the chair 7 for a cabinet, avoiding a position where a drain trap and piping are provided under the sink. The material of the cover 3 may be metal, plastic, wood material or the like. The pillar 6 can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or the like.

The method of using the chair 7 for the cabinet will be described below. First, the door 11 of the cabinet 10
Is opened, and the cabinet chair 7 is rotated about the support column 6, taken out from the cabinet 10, and rotated and moved to a desired position.

Next, the operator sits on the seat portion 1 of the cabinet chair 7 at a desired position. As a result, the load of the worker is applied to the leg portion 2 of the cabinet chair 7, so that in order to support the leg portion 2, the spring 4 overcomes the repulsive force of the spring 4 interposed between the lower end of the leg portion 2 and the caster 5. 4 is contracted so that the positions of the legs 2 and the cover 3 move downward and come into contact with the floor surface.

As a result, the casters 5 cannot move freely and the position of the cabinet chair 7 is fixed and stable. This ensures the stability of the cabinet chair 7.

Further, the cover 3 covering the lower part of the leg 2 increases the contact area of the chair 7 for the cabinet with the floor, so that the chair 7 can be securely fixed to the floor and dust and the like near the leg 2. Even if it falls, it can be easily cleaned, and the appearance of the cabinet chair 7 is not impaired.

Next, the operator sits down on the seat portion 1 to perform the work. When the worker stands up from the chair 7 for the cabinet, the load of the worker is removed from the leg portions 2, so that the cover 3 is removed from the floor. As it rises, the casters 5 come into contact with the floor surface, and the cabinet chair 7 can be rotated and moved.

As described above, the cabinet chair 7 that is connected to the cabinet 10 and can be easily rotated and moved can provide the cabinet chair 7 that does not need to be carried when used.

The cabinet chair 7 can be stored in the cabinet 10 and can be taken out from the cabinet 10 only when it is used. When not in use, it is stored in the cabinet 10 and hidden by the door. The space for storing 7 is unnecessary and it does not spoil the aesthetics of the kitchen.
