Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a seasoning container installed in a kitchen sink in a house or the like.

Traditionally, methods for storing seasonings near the kitchen sink include installing a shelf on the front or side wall of the kitchen, or installing a shelf at the bottom of a hanging cabinet in the kitchen and storing seasoning containers on these shelves. Also, a method was used to place seasoning containers directly on the top of the kitchen sink.

In all of these cases, the kitchen space is occupied and gets in the way of cooking work, and the kitchen is unsanitary as it gets dirty with dust and oil smoke, and the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen is spoiled.

This idea was created in view of these circumstances.
To provide a seasoning container that is embedded and stored in the lower part of a kitchen sink top plate when not in use and can be easily taken out when in use.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, an opening 11 is formed in a part of a kitchen sink top plate 1, and a seasoning storage space 20 is formed below the opening 11 by a box 2 provided on the back side of the top plate 1.

The details of the structure of the seasoning container are as shown in FIG. 2 (stored state) and FIG. 3 (used state), and a lid 3 shaped to cover the opening 11 is hinged on one side of the opening 11. 31
The lid body 3 can open and close the opening 11.

The surface of the lid body 3 has the same finish as the top plate surface,
Furthermore, a notch 32 for a handle is provided on the free end side of the surface.

The upper end of a seasoning storage member 4 having a rectangular cross section is connected to the free end side of the back surface of the lid body 3 by a hinge 33.

The concave portion at the lower end of the storage member 4 forms a seasoning storage section, in which the seasoning container 5 is placed.

A support plate 6 is fixed to the back surface of the opening edge of the top plate 1 to which the lid 3 is connected by a hinge 31.

This receiver plate 6 holds this lid 3 when the lid 3 is closed.
When the lid body 3 is opened, the bottom part of the storage member 4 is supported.

One edge of the upper part of the box body 2 is fixed to the edge of the plate 6, and the other edge is fixed to the lower surface of the opening edge of the top plate 1, and the bottom edge of the opening 11 of the top plate 1 is fixed. A food storage space 20 is formed.

Further, a receiving metal fitting 7 for supporting the free end of the lid body 3 is attached to the lower surface of one opening edge of the top plate 1.

In the seasoning container configured as described above, when the seasoning is not used, the lid 3 is closed as shown in FIG. It hangs down swingably and is stored in the storage space 20.

When using the seasoning, as shown in FIG. 3, by opening the lid 3 by holding its notch 32, the storage member 4 is lifted up through the opening 11 while swinging relative to the lid 3, and the lid is raised up. The support hangs down along the back surface of the body 3 and its bottom surface is supported by the plate 6 and the edge of the box body 2, thereby maintaining the storage member 4 and the lid body 3 in an upright state.

In this state, the seasoning container 5 can be freely taken out.

After using the seasoning, insert the storage part of the storage member 4 into the opening 11 of the top plate 1.
By moving the lid body 3 in the direction and closing the lid body 3,
Return to the storage state shown in FIG.

In this manner, the seasoning container of the present invention allows seasonings to be taken out of the top plate 1 and stored inside the top plate 1 by simply opening and closing the lid 3.

When no seasonings are used, the seasonings are embedded in the top plate 1, so they do not interfere with cooking, and since they are covered by the lid 3, which is flush with the top plate surface, the appearance is good. Moreover, it is hygienic because the seasonings are not contaminated by dust or oil smoke.
