Description

The invention relates to kitchen equipment, in particular, to a built-in container for storing food products, such as bread, and can be used both at home and in public life, in particular, in restaurants, hotels, holiday homes, etc. ...

Known containers for storing food products, namely bread and bread products, in the form of well-known bread bins, each of which includes a body, in the form of a hollow container, with a hinged lid mounted on the axes, the axes of which are spring-loaded (and.with., No. 1822741, 1993), a bread bin with a lid travel stop or with an adjustable lid (a. C. No. 413940, 1974 or RU patent, No. 2481783, 2013, respectively), a bread bin with additional ventilation elements mounted in the case (a. pp., No. 1738258, 1992), a breadbasket having fastening elements on the back side, allowing it to be suspended and, thus, to ensure rational use of the space under the breadbasket (RU patent, No. 104388, 2011). Also known are bread boxes, in the case of which, in order to prevent the development of anaerobic microflora and pathogenic microorganisms on bread, an element with phytoncides is installed (patent RU, No. 1803031, 1993), or a capsule with a bactericidal agent (patent RU, No. 2480012, 2013 .), or a container with an evaporating liquid, for example, with propionic acid (patent RU, No. 2111670, 1998), or a bread bin, in the case of which, under a shelf with bread, an ozonizer and an element of UV radiation are installed (utility model RU, No. 158986, 2016).

The disadvantages of these containers - bread bins for storing food products are that if they are built into the opening of a piece of kitchen furniture, they are not convenient enough to use and have low functionality, in particular, cutting will require a cutting board and a knife, and time is spent on cleaning remaining crumbs. In addition, in the built-in version of the breadbins, due to the lack of air flow control, condensation may form inside the breadbasket, which will lead to a reduction in the storage time of products. There will also be an irrational use of the zones located directly above and below the bread bin, and its front view in the opening of kitchen furniture will not always correspond to the overall design of the headset.

The closest and chosen by the applicant as a prototype is a known container for storing bread, containing a collapsible body in the shape of an oval, having an internal space, a lid, a cutting board and ventilation elements of the internal space, one of which is located at the bottom of the body (patent RU, No. 2617317, А47J47 / 12, op. 2017).

The prototype has all the above drawbacks of containers - bread bins for storing food products.

The invention is based on the problem of creating a built-in container in kitchen furniture, with the simultaneous expansion of its operational and functional capabilities, as well as the development of a container having a front door that allows design to merge with a kitchen set.

The tasks are solved by the features disclosed in the independent claim 1 of the claims, as well as by the design features reflected in the dependent claims.

According to the invention, a container for storing food products in a known solution comprising a body having an internal space, a lid, a cutting board and container ventilation elements, one of which is located in the lower part of the body, the proposed container is built into the opening of kitchen furniture, and it further comprises front door, mounted with the possibility of synchronous movement together with the lid by means of two furniture hinges located along the edges of the front door, in its lower part, sliding guides fixed on the inside of the front door, holders fixed on the outside of the cover and a mechanical cable mechanism installed on the inner side of the furniture opening, with a cable rigidly connected to the inner side of the front door, in addition, the container additionally contains a tray for collecting crumbs installed at the bottom of the case, an overhead handle made on the outer surface of the front door, in the upper its parts, and supports installed under the bottom of the body, at its corners, and the container body is made of rectangular shape, the lid is one of the side walls of the body, the movement of the lid is provided by its hinged installation on the axes, the cutting board is fixed on the inner surface of the lid, has along the periphery, a chute for collecting crumbs and, in addition, the board and the lid are offset relative to each other to allow the board to enter the inside of the body when the lid is closed, the ventilation element located in the lower part of the case is made in the form of a metal mesh, and the other ventilation element is mounted in the slot in the rear wall of the case and consists of two rectangular perforated plates having circles of the same size and location and aligned with each other with the possibility of free movement relative to each other.

In addition, the tasks are solved by the fact that the chute in the cutting board has dimensions from 5 to 15 mm, the cells of the metal mesh have dimensions from 30 to 50 mm, the furniture lift "MiniWinch" (Italy) is used as a mechanical cable mechanism, and the mechanism, is installed on the inner side of the furniture opening, and its cable is rigidly connected to the inner side of the front door, the tray for collecting crumbs is installed on the bottom of the case, under the metal mesh, and without gaps relative to the side walls of the case, holes for fasteners are made on the side walls of the case, and inside the body, on the side wall, there are brackets for the knife.

The declared container includes:

1 - case; 2 - cover; 3 - cutting board; 4 - a fragment of kitchen furniture; 5 - front door; 6 - furniture hinges; 7 - sliding guides; 8 - holders; 9 - mechanical cable mechanism; 10 - mechanism cable; 11- tray; 12 - the bottom of the case; 13 - overhead handle; 14 - regulating supports; 15 - pivot axes; 16 - cutting board chute; 17 - metal mesh; 18, 19 - perforated plates; 20 - holes for fasteners; 21 - brackets; 22 - knife.

The invention is illustrated by the following drawings, where:

figure 1 is a general view of the inner space of the container built into the opening of the kitchen furniture, in perspective,

Fig. 2 is a view A Fig. 1,

in FIG. 3 - view of the front door of the built-in container, in a fragment of kitchen furniture,

in FIG. 4 - built-in container, cross-section along G-G Fig. 3,

figure 5 - view B figure 4,

Fig. 6 is a view B of Fig. 4,

in FIG. 7 - view D of Fig. 4,

in FIG. 8 - one of the sliding guides with a holder.

The built-in food storage container is used as follows.

The body 1 of the container (Fig. 1-8) for storing food products is built into the opening of one of the modules of the kitchen furniture 4, for example, into the cabinet (Fig. 3), or into the tables-cabinets. When the container is installed by means of adjusting supports 14 and fastening elements provided in the holes 20, a stable and reliable integration of the container into the opening is ensured.

With the help of the overhead handle 13, the front door 5 is opened, which, through a pair of sliding guides 7 located on the inner surface of the door, transmits the force to the holders 8 fixed on the cover 2. At the moment of opening the handle, the door 5 and cover 2 with the fixed on it move simultaneously cutting board 3. This movement is provided by a set of features, in particular, the axes 15 of the hinge joint of the lid, the presence of furniture hinges 6, sliding guides 7, holders 8 and a mechanical mechanism 9 with a cable 10.

The hinged connection through the axes 15 ensures the movement of the cover 2, the furniture hinges 6 located along the edges of the front door 5, in its lower part, provide the hinge connection of the door 2 with the kitchen furniture module 4, the mechanical mechanism 9 with a cable 10 - smooth opening and closing of the front door 5, and also ensure that its door is kept in a horizontal position. (Fig. 1-8).

When the body 1 is closed, the cutting board 3, fixed on the lid 2, enters into the inside of the body 1, since the surfaces of the board 3 and the lid 2, in the lower part, are offset relative to each other, which ensures that the crumbs are not dumped past the tray (Fig. 4, 6 ).

Cutting board 3, as an option, can be removable, easily replaceable with another, which will facilitate its sanitization and preserve the life of the container.

As a mechanical cable mechanism 9, a furniture lift "MiniWinch" (Italy) is used, which is quick to install and convenient in operation and, moreover, has the ability to adjust the opening and closing forces. The mechanism 9 is installed on the inner side of the furniture opening, and its cable 10 is rigidly connected to the inner side of the front door.

The chute in the cutting board (5 to 15mm) is large enough to collect the crumbs on the cutting board surface without dropping them off the board.

The product in the container is placed on a metal mesh 17, removed as needed and a knife 22 held by brackets 21 is used for cutting. The mesh 17 is also a ventilation element, since the presence of cells helps to prevent the accumulation of condensate in a closed container. After closing the body, the formed product crumbs spontaneously fall off the surface of the board 3 and from its chute 16 through the mesh 17 into the tray 11 located at the bottom 12 of the body. The mesh sizes from 30 to 50 mm are sufficient for the product to be held on the mesh, ventilated and to ensure that the crumbs are dropped into the tray (Figs. 1, 4).

When using a container, you can change the air flow into its inner space and thereby extend the storage time of products. The change in the air flow into the container is carried out by means of the second ventilation element made in the form of rectangular, flat and perforated plates 18 and 19, aligned with each other. To do this, the plates are manually moved relative to each other, as a result of which the dimensions of the perforation circles change and, as a result, air flows into the container to a greater or lesser extent (Figs. 1, 2, 4, 5).

The container can also be installed in the opening of the piece of furniture, which, in turn, is located at the junction with the table top. In this embodiment, the container is installed on the countertop, and the overhead handle 13 of the front door 5, in the process of using the container, serves as a support for the cutting board 3. In this embodiment, the front door handle can be equipped with dampers, which will soften the contact of the handle with the surface of the countertop. The option of installing the container on the countertop, in which it does not undergo significant structural changes, speaks of its versatility and wide functionality.

The declared container is not complicated in terms of sanitization, which is carried out similarly to the sanitization of kitchen appliances built into a kitchen set.

The technical results are the convenience and ease of use of the container and the expansion of its functionality. The embodiment of the aesthetics of the front door of the built-in container, such as color or decoration with the overall design of the furniture, can transform the decoration of any kitchen set. In addition, the storage time of bread or other products increases, the cutting board and knife are always at hand, and, after cutting the product, and when the lid is closed, crumbs mechanically fall from the surface of the board and its recesses into the tray. Easy ventilation control ensures long-term preservation of product quality.

The use of a prototype built-in container showed the achievement of the above technical results, which determines the classification of the declared container for storing food products as a promising household appliance that functions in conjunction with a kitchen set.
