DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, a hollow substrate 1 is used.
A plurality of insertion holes 3 into which the blade portion 2A of the kitchen knife 2 can be inserted and housed are arranged in a row, a part of the base 1 is provided on the outside so as to be able to move up and down, and the rotating body 5 is provided so as to be able to move up and down. On the inner side, a mounting portion 6 for detachably attaching the germicidal lamp 4 is provided.

The base 1 is formed in a hollow thin box shape having no thickness in the front-rear direction as shown in the figure.

The insertion holes 3 are elongated holes corresponding to the blade 2A of the kitchen knife 2, and a plurality of the insertion holes 3 are formed obliquely on the upper surface of the base 1 so as to be juxtaposed. In this manner, the insertion hole 3 is provided obliquely, and the blade 2A of the kitchen knife 2 is obliquely formed so that a plurality of the blades 2A can be stored side by side. It is also possible to provide a low-cost product by reducing the amount of material used. Further, if a rubber cover or the like for preventing light from leaking from the germicidal lamp 4 is provided in the insertion hole 3, a better germicidal effect can be obtained.

The rotating body 5 is formed of a rectangular plate which is set to a size that allows the mounting portion 6 to be attached to the inner surface.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating body 5 has an up-and-down rotating structure in which the left side of the rear surface of the base 1 is cut out in accordance with the shape of the rotating body 5, and the rotating body 5 is arranged in the notch. By simply hinged the upper and lower two portions of the left edge of the rotating body 5 and the corresponding cut edge on the rear surface of the base 1, the rotating body 5 is pivoted around the hinged portion 7 as a pivot. FIG. As described above, since the rotation structure using the simple hinge means is adopted, the production becomes very easy. Also,
When the rotating body 5 is in a housed state in which the rotating body 5 is flush with the rear surface of the base 1, the periphery of the rotating body 5 and the cutout peripheral edge of the rear surface of the base 1 are frictionally locked to each other, and the housed state is temporarily held. By releasing the friction locking, the rotating body 5 can be raised and rotated. Thereby, the rotating body 5 does not open without permission, and it becomes practical.

In this embodiment, a plate-shaped finger hook 8 projects downward from the lower part of the rotating body 5 and
Is configured to be able to rotate the rotating body 5 by putting a finger on the rotating body 5. The finger hook 8 serves as a stopper by being locked to the lower end of the rear surface of the base 1, and the stopper function prevents the rotating body 5 from rotating from the storage state to the inside of the base 1. It is composed. Accordingly, the provision of the finger hook 8 provides good turning operability of the turning body 5 and a stopper function. Further, the degree of protrusion of the finger hook 8 downward is set to such a degree that it does not hinder the placement of the base 1.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the rotating member 5 is turned by putting a finger on the finger hook 8, the mounting portion 6 on the inner side surface of the turned rotating member 5 and the germicidal lamp mounted on the mounting portion 6 are provided. 4 is exposed to the near side. Then, the germicidal lamp 4 exposed before this can be replaced. That is, since the mounting portion 6 and the germicidal lamp 4 are exposed only by simply turning the rotating body 5 by putting a finger on the finger hook 8, the operability is excellent, and by turning the rotating body 5, FIG. As shown, since the mounting portion 6 and the germicidal lamp 4 are exposed immediately before, the germicidal lamp 4 exposed to the front can be easily replaced, and the germicidal lamp 4 can be easily replaced.

Further, in this embodiment, a hooking piece 9 having a nail hole is provided on the left and right of the upper portion of the base 1, so that the base 1 can be used by hanging it on a wall or the like.

On the rear surface of the base 1, a U-shaped leg 10 is provided for placing and holding the base 1 in an upright state. As shown in FIG. 2, the leg 10 is configured to be able to pivot from a state in which the leg 10 is laid down on the rear surface of the base 1 to a predetermined angle position indicated by an imaginary line. The base 1 is placed and supported on the installation surface at two points, that is, the base 1 and the bottom surface of the base 1, so that the base 1 can be used while standing upright in a slightly inclined state. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a mounting tool for mounting the leg 10.

[0020] Therefore, since the configuration is such that two types of usage modes can be selected, installation according to the preference of the user and the layout of the kitchen can be performed, which is very convenient.

In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a switch for controlling turning on and off of the germicidal lamp 4, 13 denotes a power plug, and 14 denotes a power plug 13.
Reference numeral 15 denotes a ground wire, which is a lead wire for connecting the wire to the mounting portion 6.

[0022]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the life of the germicidal lamp has expired, the germicidal lamp mounted on the mounting body and the germicidal lamp mounted on this mounting body can be simply rotated by turning the rotating body outward. The germicidal lamp can be exposed outside the base, and the germicidal lamp can be easily removed from the exposed mounting portion and replaced with a new germicidal lamp. As a result, an excellent kitchen knife with a germicidal lamp with extremely high commercial value can be obtained as compared with a conventional product that can be used for a long time by maintaining the sterilizing effect.
