1 to 3, reference numeral 1 is an L-shaped system kitchen. These are configured in an L-shape with a set of boxes 1a, 1b and 1c forming a storage shelf in the space below the top plate. The box 1b has a pair of left and right storage shelves 2, 3
Are juxtaposed. Each of the storage shelves 2 and 3 has a skeletonized predetermined height, and is provided with a plurality of storage sections divided in the height direction. For example, shelving, stacking baskets, etc. However, one of the storage shelves 3 is formed to be movable in the front-rear direction. A rail mechanism 4 is provided corresponding to one side of one of the storage shelves, and the storage rack moves in the front-rear direction by the rail mechanism. FIG. 2 shows a state where one of the storage shelves is pulled out forward. Therefore, the space portion X is an empty space.

The storage rack 3 is formed so as to be rotatable in the opposite direction of the other storage rack 2 via the hinge mechanism 5 in a state where the storage rack 3 is pulled out forward. FIG. 3 shows that state, in which it is rotated to a substantially right angle. The other storage shelf 2 is pulled through the connector 6 when the one storage shelf 3 is rotated and moved to the space portion of the one storage shelf.

4 and 5, reference numerals 7 and 7 denote a pair of front and rear rail mechanisms provided at the bottom of the space below the top plate. The rail mechanism is formed in a U shape and also serves as a part of a rectangular frame. The other storage rack 2 has wheels 2b, 2b mounted on both sides of the front and rear lower frames 2a, 2a. Reference numeral 2c denotes a receiving frame, which is fixed on the lower end frame 2a via a supporting member and is a receiving stand for the cars 2d to be stacked.

Reference numeral 3 denotes one of the storage shelves, and a rail mechanism 4 is provided on the opposite side wall of the other storage rack. This rail mechanism is described in detail in FIG. 2 on the side wall 8 in the vertical direction
The individual rail fittings 4a, 4a are attached. On the other hand, on the storage shelf 3, the door roller 3 is located at a position corresponding to the rail fitting.
a and 3a are attached. Therefore, the storage rack 3 moves in the front-rear direction along the rail mechanism. Guide rollers 3b and 3b are housed in rail fittings to assist in moving the storage shelves. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since the door roller 3a is attached to the rear end side of the storage rack, when it is pulled out to the front, as shown in FIG.
The original space is open.

6 to 7, 5 is a hinge mechanism,
It is attached to the rear end of the storage rack 3. When the storage rack 3 is pulled out to the front, the hinge mechanism 5 comes into contact with the stop portion at the front end of the rail mechanism 4 and is brought into a stopped state. Those skilled in the art will understand that the stop portion may be the front end stop wall and may be appropriately formed. In this state, when the storage shelf 3 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, it can be rotated in the opposite direction of the other storage shelf with the shaft pin 5a as the rotation axis. In this case, the structure shown in FIG. 8 is adopted in order to further smoothly rotate the storage rack. 5
Reference numeral c is a guide fitting, which is provided at the rear end of the lower end of the storage shelf, particularly at a position corresponding to the hinge mechanism 5. However, when this moves forward together with the storage rack, the frame 7a

It is.

Further, the guide metal fitting 5c is a rotary guide rod 7a1.
It can also be understood that this guide rod serves as a stop because the drawer of the storage shelf to the front is stopped when it abuts against. Further, as shown in the figure, since the concave curved portion 5c1 at the tip of the guide fitting is fitted and engaged with the peripheral surface of the rotation guide rod, if the storage rack rotates in this state, the guide fitting also rotates at the same time. The concave curved portion 5c1 of the metal fitting is engaged with the rotary rod even when the storage rack is returned to the rear along the above direction, and the rearward movement of the storage rack is prevented. In other words, when the storage rack is rotated, the engagement structure between the metal fitting and the rotating rod serves as a mechanism for preventing the rearward movement of the storage rack, which enables smooth rotation.

FIG. 9 shows a state in which, when one of the storage shelves 3 is rotated to a substantially right angle, the other of the storage shelves 2 is moved into the space of the one of the storage shelves. In this case, connecting tool 6
Since the engaging fitting portion 6b of 1 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 3c attached to the storage rack, the storage rack 2 can be pulled smoothly. 6a is a biasing spring. The biasing force of this spring acts when the storage rack 3 is moved to its original position. Therefore, you can understand that you can move smoothly.

In FIG. 10A, after rotating the storage rack 3 at a substantially right angle, the storage rack main body 3d is further removed from the frame,
It is rotated by a hinge 3e. By doing so, the articles in the other storage shelf 2 can be easily taken in and out. In FIG. 10B, when one of the storage shelves 3 is pulled out forward and further rotated, a known slide rail is used as the rail mechanism, and two rails 4a and 4b are used in the drawing. As a result, the rear end of the storage rack is pulled out forward, and even when the storage rack is further rotated, the slide rail can be rotated by the hinge portion 4c, which results in a smooth rotation operation.

FIGS. 11 and 12 show another embodiment. In order to make the movement of the storage rack in the front-back direction smoother, the storage rack 3 is provided with guide rollers 3g on the side surface and the side wall 8 is guided. The roller 8a is attached. Therefore, the guide roller 3g moves along the roller receiving plate provided on the side wall in the front-rear direction, and the guide roller 8a moves along the roller receiving plate provided on the side surface of the storage rack. It will be appreciated that these backings may be frames.
