Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchen device having a series of kitchen equipment such as a sink, a stove, and a storage cabinet.

Modern kitchen equipment is often placed inside the living room, also called LDK, so the various equipment that makes it up, such as a top plate with a sink, stove, etc.
Storage cabinets such as mizuya and ceiling bags have a high aesthetic sense and do not interfere with the atmosphere of the living room. However, even if the kitchen equipment is designed with consideration given to its design as described above, if the user places the kitchen utensils such as tableware, cutting boards, dish towels, etc. It will be a hindrance. Therefore, kitchen utensils are generally put away in a designated storage space such as a mizuya or a canopy, but this form is limited to storing kitchen utensils that are not used frequently on a daily basis; Lids, dish towels, shiyamoji, detergent, etc. are often left exposed on hangers or shelves installed around the top plate, and this is a common sight in the kitchen of ordinary households. Even if the kitchen utensils that are placed in the kitchen are tidy, they are not very pleasant, and they often disrupt the atmosphere of the living room.

This is because in the conventional kitchen device, the top plate portion including the sink and the like are not associated with the storage cabinet such as the top bag or water closet in terms of use. In other words, there is no consideration given to making it easy to take kitchen utensils in and out from the top plate, which is the main area for kitchen tasks such as cooking and washing, to the top bag, water rack, etc. It will be placed in an exposed state around the top plate where it can be easily placed.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention aims to prevent kitchen tools used on a daily basis from obstructing the aesthetics of kitchen equipment and the atmosphere of the living room, and is a new technology that cleans kitchen tools used on a daily basis from around the top plate. The present invention is based on this idea, and an example thereof will be described below.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes kitchen equipment, which includes a single cabinet such as a sink equipped with a water tank 2, or other cabinets such as a cooking table arranged side by side as appropriate, and is provided with a top plate 3. 4 is a storage cabinet installed in parallel with the kitchen equipment 1, which is taller than the kitchen equipment 1, and has a storage cabinet 5;
A rack body 6, which is a circular draining device, is provided in and out of the storage case 5, on which kitchen utensils such as tableware, soup stock, and combs used daily are placed and suspended.
The storage case 5 has an opening in the side wall adjacent to the kitchen equipment 1, and the rack body 6 is installed in a manner that it can be freely pulled out from this opening into the space above the top plate 3 of the kitchen equipment 1. The rack body 6 has a drainboard 7 and a water tray 8 on the bottom and a top plate with a plurality of hangers 8 fixed on the top, on which washed kitchen utensils are placed and suspended to drain water. Rack body 6
A pivot 9 is provided on the bottom and top of the housing 5, and a recess 10 is provided in the housing 5 to allow the rack 6 to rotate. This allows the top plate 3 to be pulled out upward. The rack body 6 is designed to be compact by rotating only on the front side, and the rack body 6 rotates only on the rear side.
A stopper is configured such that a part of the housing 5 comes into contact with the inner wall of the storage casing 5 to prevent rotation. Of course easy body 6
It is desirable to provide an elastic body such as rubber to cushion the impact at the portion where the storage case 5 and the storage case 5 come into contact. A dish towel hanger 11 is provided on the back side of the side wall opening of the storage case 5.
A double door 15 equipped with a storage container 12 for a scrubbing brush and detergent, a hanging tool 13 for a soap dispenser, a comb, etc., and a drawer 14 is provided to cover the side surface of the rack body 6 when the door is opened.

The reason why the rack body 6 can be freely pulled out onto the top plate 3 of the kitchen equipment 1 is to facilitate work by setting the water tray 7, hanger 8, etc. at so-called eye level when putting in and taking out kitchen utensils. be. Furthermore, by storing the kitchen utensils immediately after washing in a state in which the rack body 6 is pulled out, even if water drips, it can be caught by the top plate 3 of the sink, so that at least the floor surface is not soiled. Furthermore, the reason why the rack body 6 is made to rotate is to store kitchen utensils evenly over the entire area of the rack body 6. In particular, the reason why the rack body 6 is configured to rotate only on the front side is to reduce the amount of movement of the rack body 6 by about half. This is to make the storage case 5 more compact. Note that the pivot 9 of the rack body 6 should be placed on the top plate 3 side.
The reason why it is eccentric to the rear position is as follows. In other words, the rack body 6' of the pivot which is eccentrically slid only toward the top plate 3 (pivot 9') traces a trajectory as shown by the broken line, so the opening of the storage casing 5 has the L dimension. (4th
figure). On the other hand, a rack body 6 with a pivot fixture eccentrically located on the top plate 3 side and at a position on the rear side (pivot fixture 9)
This is because the opening of the housing case 5 may have a size l smaller than the size L, and as a result, the housing case 5 can be made more compact.

In the figure, 16 is an exhaust window provided on the door 15, 17 is a drainage cup provided at the bottom of the rack body 6, and 18 is a guide roll.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to pull out the draining equipment as appropriate to take in and out the kitchen utensils that are regularly used on a daily basis, and when not in use, the draining equipment is housed in the storage case, so that the kitchen tools are not exposed to the outside, and the kitchen utensils are not exposed. It is suitable for use as a living room and plays a major role in improving the product value of kitchen equipment. In addition, since the drainer can be rotated eccentrically and pulled out above the top plate, kitchen utensils can be stored in the drainer very easily and evenly, making it especially easy to take in and take out kitchen tools from the back of the drainer. It has the following effects.
