Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a height-adjustable frame for furniture such as sinks, washstands, school desks, etc., which is equipped with a warm air blowing device at the bottom.

Conventionally, kitchen furniture such as sinks and cooking tables have been known to have a hot air blowing device consisting of a fan and a heater installed in the architrave located at the bottom of the cabinet body of the furniture.
It is disclosed in Publication No. 29620. This not only blows warm air to the feet of kitchen workers to provide heating, but also eliminates the risk of fire or burns caused by falling over, which is the case when using a separate heating device such as a stove, and does not interfere with work. It is useful in

However, in the conventional type, the hot air blowing device is installed in the architrave which forms part of the furniture cabinet and is integrated with the furniture. In order to be able to choose between the presence and absence of a hot air blower, it is necessary to prepare two types of furniture: one with and without a warm air blowing device, which is extremely troublesome in terms of manufacturing and inventory management, and can lead to waste. It was hot. In addition, it cannot actually be attached to existing furniture or completed furniture that has already been installed in the house, and the entire furniture must be moved for maintenance such as repairs in the event that the hot air blowing device breaks down. , it was extremely inconvenient.

This idea was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional furniture equipped with hot air blowing devices. A hot air blowing device is installed inside the height adjustment frame that adjusts the overall height of the furniture.
An air intake hole and a hot air outlet are formed, at least the hot air outlet is formed on the front surface of the adjustment frame, and the front plate of the adjustment frame is formed higher than other parts so that the lower front of the furniture is placed in front. It is characterized by being concealed by a face plate.

Preferred embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is kitchen furniture equipped with an architrave 2 at the bottom. This idea is not limited to kitchen furniture, but also washstands, vanities,
It can be applied to various furniture bodies such as school children's desks without making any substantial changes.

3 is formed separately from the furniture 1, and the architrave 2
This is a height adjustment frame placed at the bottom of the kitchen furniture 1 to adjust the total height of the kitchen furniture 1.This invention is based on the height adjustment frame 3.
It is characterized in that a warm air blowing device 4 is disposed inside. As shown in FIG. 3, the height adjustment frame 3 is made of a rectangular frame body, and a hot air blowing hole 5 and an air suction hole 6 are formed in the front plate 3a. The hot air blowing device 4 consists of a heater and a fan, and the fan blows air into the air suction hole 6.
The air sucked in from the heater is heated by a heater and then blown out from the hot air outlet 5. It goes without saying that the air suction hole 6 may be provided on the side or rear surface of the height adjustment frame 3. When the furniture 1 is placed on the height adjustment frame 3, the architrave 2 is located behind the front plate 3a of the height adjustment frame 3, as shown in FIG.
is hidden. Furthermore, even when the height of the installed hot air blowing device 4 is higher than the height adjustment frame 3,
The space inside the architrave 2 can be utilized. 7 is a switch for turning on and off the operation of the hot air blowing device 4.

As described above, according to the furniture height adjustment frame equipped with the hot air blowing device of this invention, the hot air blowing device is disposed within the separately formed height adjustment frame. By simply inserting a height-adjustable frame at the bottom of the furniture, a warm air blower can be easily installed on the furniture, and virtually no changes are required to the furniture itself, even on existing furniture or completed furniture. In addition, even if the hot air blowing device breaks down, it can be easily repaired by simply pulling out the height adjustment frame from the bottom of the furniture, and maintenance is simple. Furthermore, since the height-adjustable underframe equipped with the hot air blowing device is separate from the furniture itself, in order to select whether or not the hot air blowing device is installed, it is possible to replace the furniture body with the hot air blowing device as in the past. This eliminates the need to prepare two types of furniture and non-equipment items, which is extremely advantageous in terms of furniture manufacturing and inventory management. Furthermore, since the architrave at the bottom of the furniture is hidden by the front plate of the underframe, there is no risk that the furniture will look unsightly due to the placement of the underframe, and the space inside the architrave can be used with hot air blowing equipment. It can be used as a storage space.
