Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a kitchen device in which storage furniture such as a hanging cabinet is arranged above the kitchen furniture, and the purpose is to make effective use of the wall surface on which the kitchen furniture and the storage furniture are arranged. It is aimed at.

Generally, various items used in the kitchen are stored in kitchen furniture or hanging cabinets above them, but since hanging cabinets are located high up and it is difficult to take out the items inside, frequently used items are kept in the kitchen furniture. It is stored inside.

However, recently, with the diversification of eating habits, the number of frequently used items has increased, and it has become impossible to store them only in kitchen furniture.Therefore, shelves have been installed on walls, etc., and items are stored on these shelves.

However, even with this, the current situation was that frequently used items could not be fully stored.

Therefore, proposals have begun to be made to allow the above-mentioned hanging cabinet to be freely lowered so as to make it easier to take out articles inside the hanging cabinet.

FIG. 7 shows this lowering-type hanging cabinet, in which a rear storage shelf 23 of a cabinet main body 22 placed above the kitchen furniture 21 can be freely lowered.

With this hanging cabinet, it is true that the items stored in the hanging cabinet can be easily taken out and items that are frequently used can be stored. However, there was a problem in that the space for storing items became narrower.

The present invention eliminates such conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is kitchen furniture such as a sink placed below the kitchen wall 2, 3 is storage furniture such as a hanging cupboard placed on the upper wall, and a shelf 4 for storing items is located at the rear lower part in contact with the wall 2.
is integrally formed.

This storage furniture 3 has its back surface attached to the wall surface 2, and a storage section 5 is provided between the wall surface 2 and the space T corresponding to the depth of the shelf section 4.

The front surface of this storage section 5 is covered by the door 6 of the storage furniture 3, and a pinion 9 from a motor 8 is meshed with and supported by a rack 7 attached to the outer surface of both side walls.
As the motor 8 rotates, the storage furniture 3 is lowered vertically from inside the storage furniture 3.

The motor 8 is attached to a partition plate 10 between the shelf 4 integrally formed at the bottom of the storage furniture 3, and connected via a lead wire 11 to a forward/reverse rotation switch 12 provided on the kitchen wall 2. .

Guide rails 13 are attached to the inner surfaces of both side walls of the storage furniture 3, and guides 14 are inserted into the guide rails 13 and are attached to the outer surfaces of both side walls of the storage section 5.

Reference numerals 15, 16, and 17 in the figure indicate shelf boards, and in particular, the shelf board 15 provided at the rear of the storage furniture 3 is useful in making the rear of the storage furniture function as a storage section.

In the above configuration, the storage section 5 of the storage furniture 3 is normally located within this storage furniture.

From this state, switch 1 for forward rotation of switch 12
When 2a is pressed, the motor 8 rotates in the forward direction only while the button 2a is pressed, and the storage section 5 is lowered via vertical movement means such as the pinion 9 and the rack 7.

At this time, the storage section 5 is lowered with a distance T between it and the wall surface 2, as shown in FIG.

Therefore, the wall surface 2 can be provided with a shelf as shown at 4 to store various frequently used items.

Of course, it can also be stored in the storage section 5 that descends from the storage furniture 3 and in the kitchen furniture.

In addition, since the storage section 5 is designed to descend only while the switch 12 is pressed, it can be stopped at any position, and can be used at the position where it is most easily retrieved. When the switch 12b is pressed, it can be raised and returned to a predetermined position.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment, in which a chamfered portion 18 is provided at the lower front of the storage portion 5.

According to this, the user is less likely to hit his/her head against the front lower part of the storage section 5 that has descended from the storage furniture 3 when washing with water, etc., and even if the user does hit his/her head, the user will not be injured. This has the advantage of eliminating

This is effective because the storage portion 5 is designed to be lowered at the front portion.

In the above embodiment, the rack 7 and pinion 9 driven by a motor are used to lower the storage section 5, but this is merely an example of a vertical movement means.

Further, in this embodiment, the storage section 5 is lowered, but it is also possible to lower the furniture itself.

As described above, according to the present invention, the front side storage section of the storage furniture attached to the upper wall surface is provided so as to be lowered, so that items can be easily taken out, and the storage section that is lowered can be frequently used. It is possible to store items and expand the storage space for frequently used items.In addition, a continuous storage section can be provided in the lower part opposite to the rear storage section of the storage furniture, so it can be used more frequently than conventional storage furniture. It is possible to expand the storage space for items used for.
