2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sink, a stove, and a cabinet having a cooking table on an upper surface are independently arranged in a kitchen. However, in order to arrange them in a U-shape, three-way walls are required. In many cases, a U-shaped arrangement could not be achieved due to the structure of the room.

In recent years, living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens have often been made into one-room styles. In such a layout, there is a concern that dirt on a sink or a stove stand may be completely exposed to visitors.

Further, a fixed-side first storage portion and a movable-side second storage portion including a storage shelf provided to be openable and closable around an end portion of the fixed-side first storage portion that should cover a use surface thereof,
A kitchen unit in which a washing sink, a heating device, a storage shelf, and the like are disposed in a fixed-side first storage section is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-141533, and a sink and a cooking table to which a sink is attached are integrally provided. Are formed in a plane L-shape, and the constituent pair of the long side end is formed in an independent form, and the inner end of the front surface is pivotally supported by a hinge, and the constituent pair is turned inward through the hinge. When it is moved, the openable and closable kitchen unit is closed so that the opening is closed to form a flat square.
No. 6,086,045.

However, in these devices, since the sink and the heating device are provided not in the rotating portion but in the fixed portion, the sink, the heating device and the cooking table portion are arranged in a U-shape even when the unit is opened from the stowed state. Can not be placed in

Also, if the rotating unit is closed and the sink and the heating device are stored, the entire surface of the unit will be closed, so that the device installed above the sink and the heating device cannot be used at all. There are drawbacks.

Problems to be solved by the invention The object of the present invention is to provide a room of any structure,
The sink, stove and cooking space can be arranged in a U-shape that is easy to use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen apparatus that can use the equipment installed at the top of the kitchen as it is.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a kitchen apparatus according to the present invention forms a storage space at a lower part of a cabinet in which a shelf, a storage, a refrigerator and a cooking space are arranged at an upper part, and the storage space is formed. The sink and the stove are stored in the space so that they can be freely taken in and out, and the sink and the stove are pivotally attached to the cabinet so that they can be rotated in opposite directions about a vertical rotation axis closer to the outside. It has a configuration characterized by the following.

Also, when rotating the sink and the stove, the vertical pipes of the piping equipment connected to the equipment mounted on the sink and the stove are connected to the sink and the stove so that the piping can easily follow the movement. The vertical pipe is connected to the vertical pipe at the other end so as to be rotatable in a horizontal plane.

When the sink and the stove are used, the sink, the cooking space of the cabinet and the stove are arranged in a U-shape by rotating them around the respective rotation axes in opposite directions and pulling them out of the cabinet.

When a visitor or a sink or stove is not required, the cabinet is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction of the drawer and stored in the cabinet. At this time, the shelf, storage, refrigerator and cooking space above the cabinet are exposed.

In this way, even if the sink or the stove is rotated, the distance from the vertical pipe at the rotation axis position to the drain, water tap, stove, or other equipment is small, so the horizontal pipe connected to these equipment is slightly reduced. And follow the movement of the sink and stove by rotating in the horizontal plane.

Example In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a kitchen apparatus, which includes a cabinet 2, a sink 3, and a stove 4.

Cabinet 2 is a panel made of particle board, MDF, plywood, or the like as a base material, or a panel made of solid natural wood or a surface-finished flash structure, as shown in FIG. Upper storage bins 4 are arranged side by side along the upper end, refrigerators 5 are incorporated on both left and right sides, and a slide-type storage 6 that can be pulled out inside the refrigerator 5 is provided.

A cooking space 7 is formed between the left and right storages 6, a shelf 29 is appropriately stretched in the cooking space 7, a cooking table 8 is stretched on the lower surface of the cooking space, and below the cooking table 8. A storage space 9 is formed.

The sink 3 is assembled by panels having the same configuration as that of the cabinet 2, and the storage space 9 of the cabinet 2 is provided.
As shown in FIG. 3, a sink 10 and a water tap 11 are mounted on the upper surface, and a caster 12 is mounted on the inner portion on the lower surface.

The stove stand 4 is also formed in a box shape having the same height as the sink 3 by panels having the same structure as the cabinet 2 and the sink 3, and a gas stove 15 and an electromagnetic cooker are appropriately provided on the upper surface as shown in FIG. A caster 13 is mounted on the inside of the lower surface.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sink 3 and the stove 4 can be housed side by side in a storage space 9 of the cabinet 2 and can be housed in a row. ′, It is attached to the cabinet 2 so that it can be opened outward.

In the internal space 16 of the sink 3, the hollow rotary shaft 14
Inside the vertical water pipe 17 concentric with the axis of the rotary shaft 14
A vertical drain pipe 18 made of a bellows hose is provided in parallel to penetrate the sink 3 and the bottom of the cabinet 2.

A horizontal water pipe 21 is horizontally rotatably connected to the upper end of the vertical water pipe 17 via a rotary water connection fitting 19 and an elbow pipe 20, and a rotary drain cap 22 is provided at the upper end of the vertical drain pipe 18.
A horizontal drain pipe 23 made of a bellows hose is connected via an elbow pipe 20 'so as to be horizontally rotatable.

Further, the ends of the horizontal water pipe 21 and the horizontal drain pipe 23 are connected to the water tap 11 on the upper surface of the sink 3 and the drain port 30 of the sink 10, respectively.
