DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kitchen bay window device having a window function as well as a storage function for kitchen utensils such as tableware.

Conventional Structures and Problems Generally, bay windows in kitchens are used for daylight and do not have the function of storing items. On the other hand, if dishes and the like are stored in the bay window, there arises the problem that sunlight cannot be brought in and the bay window becomes dirty due to water falling from the dishes and the like.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen bay window device that has both the functions of storing articles and letting in sunlight, and is also capable of water treatment.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention horizontally arranges a storage space that is visually shielded from the kitchen space and an open space that opens into the kitchen interior at the front, and also includes a window in the open space. a bay window main body, a rack body movable laterally within the bay window main body, and a drying unit integrally attached to the storage space of the bay window main body, the front end of the rack body on the moving direction side This is a kitchen bay window device in which a decorative board is provided.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a box-shaped bay window main body, one half of which is set as a storage space 2 in the horizontal direction, and the other half is set as an open space 3. The storage space 2 is closed on five sides and has an opening 4 only on one side on the open space 3 side. The open space 3 is closed on all four sides except for the front and back, and its front opening 5 faces the kitchen space A through a cutout 6a in the inner wall 6 of the house wall, and its rear opening 7 faces the outdoors B. Reference numeral 8 indicates a rack body movably provided within the bay window main body 1, and is movable left and right using a rail 9 horizontally installed on the upper inner surface of the bay window main body 1 as a guide. The rack body 8 has a plurality of upper and lower draining shelves 10, and a decorative board 11 is provided at the front end on the moving direction side. Furthermore, when the rack body 8 is stored, the front wall 2a of the storage space 2 is placed closer to the open space 3 than the inner wall body 6 so that a gap 12 is secured between the rack body 8 and the cutout 6a of the inner wall body 6. The handle protrudes from the handle. 13 is a ventilation hole formed above and below the decorative panel 11 of the rack body 8, 14 is a water receiver, and 15 is a glass window.

Further, the bay window main body 1 is fitted into a cutout 16a made in an outer wall 16 of a house wall, and is fixed to a pillar 17 or the like. 18 is the storage space 2 of the bay window main body 1
The drying unit is integrally attached to the bottom, with an air outlet 19 provided at the back of the storage space 2, an intake hole 20 protruding from the side of the open space 3, and an operating knob 21 protruding from the front side thereof. There is. 22 is a sink installed in the kitchen interior A corresponding to the open space 3;
23 is a cooking table, and 24 is a hanging cabinet.

In the above configuration, FIG. 2 shows a state in which the rack body 8 has been moved toward the open space 3 side. Here, tableware and the like can be taken in and out of the rack body 8 on the draining shelf 10. Note that the rack body 8 can be pulled out by holding the front end of the decorative board 11.

Next, if the rack body 8 is moved to the left from the state shown in FIG. 2, the rack 8 will be hidden in the storage space 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the tableware and the like in the rack body 8 are not visible from the kitchen interior A, and the appearance is good, and the open space 3
Since it is in an open state, sufficient sunlight can be obtained.

When the operation knob 21 of the drying unit 18 is rotated, hot air flows into the storage space 2 from the air outlet 19 as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 3 to 5, thereby drying the dishes and the like in the rack 8. Here, since the drying unit 18 is integrally attached to the bottom of the bay window main body 1 in advance, troublesome attachment work is eliminated during installation work, and the work can be reduced accordingly.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments described above, according to the present invention, kitchen utensils such as tableware can be stored rationally using the bay window, and the rack body is usually stored in the storage space so that it cannot be accessed from the outside. Since it is invisible, it makes the kitchen look very stylish, which is especially effective in modern homes where the living room is combined into one room. Also, if you store the rack in the storage space, it can fully demonstrate its initial function as a bay window. Furthermore, since a drying unit is installed in the storage space of the bay window main body, drying efficiency is improved, and since the drying unit is pre-installed integrally in the storage space of the bay window main body, the installation work is reduced, etc. Obtain various effects.
