Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage space that is visually shielded from the kitchen interior and an open space that opens into the kitchen interior in the horizontal direction, and a window is provided in the open space. A bay window body is provided with a bay window body, a rack is provided within the bay window body so as to be movable laterally, and is movable back and forth in the open space, and furthermore, a water receptacle is provided at the bottom of the rack and can be freely accessed from the front of the rack. It has the structure of a kitchen bay window device equipped with a container.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped bay window main body, with one half in the horizontal direction serving as a storage space 2, and the other half serving 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 denotes a rack movably installed inside the bay window main body 1, which is movable left and right using a rail 9 installed horizontally on the inner bottom surface of the bay window main body 1 as a guide. It is also possible to move back and forth via the rails 10.

The rack 8 has a plurality of upper and lower draining shelves 11, and a water receiver 14 is provided below a bottom plate 13 which is sloped so that the direction of the drain port 12 is on the lower side. The water receiver 14 can be accessed from the front of the rack 8. 15 is a handle for operating the rack 8; 16 and 17 are ventilation holes formed at the top and bottom of the left side plate of the rack 8; and 18 is a glass window for opening and closing the rear opening 7 of the open space 3.

Further, the bay window main body 1 is fitted into a cutout 19a made in an outer wall 19 of a house wall, and is fixed to a pillar 20 or the like.

21 is a sink installed in the kitchen interior A corresponding to the open space 3, 22 is a cooking table, and 23 is a hanging cabinet.

In the above configuration, FIGS. 2 to 4 show the rack 8 moved toward the open space 3 and further projected into the kitchen interior A. Here, rack 8 draining shelf 1
Tableware, etc., can be easily taken in and out of 1. Also, when storing dishes etc. that have been washed,
The water dripping from there collects in the water receiver 14 via the drain port 12 of the bottom plate 13.

Next, move rack 8 backward from this state,
If it is moved further to the left, the rack 8 will be hidden in the storage space 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the dishes etc. in the rack 8 are not visible from the outside and can be made to have a good appearance.The open space 3 is in an open state, so sufficient light can be obtained, and the glass window 18 It is also possible to open the door and let outside air in. Furthermore, since the inside and outside of the rack 8 are communicated through ventilation holes 16 and 17, natural drying of dishes and the like is ensured by air convection.

The water accumulated in the water receiver 14 is disposed of with the rack 8 protruding forward into the open space 3 as shown in FIGS. 2-4. That is, in this state, the water receptor 14
All you have to do is pull out the front part, and even if water spills here, it will fall into the sink 21 and will not cause any problems.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, the following excellent practical effects can be expected.

Kitchen utensils such as tableware can be stored rationally using the bay window.

Usually racks are stored in a storage space and cannot be seen from the outside, making the kitchen look very stylish, especially in modern homes where the kitchen also doubles as a living room.

Also, if you store a rack in the storage space, it will fully demonstrate its intended function as a bay window.

A rack protrudes forward from the open space, making it easy to put in and take out dishes, etc., and the water receptor can be taken in and out from the front.
It is easy to dispose of accumulated water. In particular, if it is connected to the location of the sink, even if water spills, it will not wet the floor.
