Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bay window device having a window function as well as a storage function for tableware, books, etc.

In general, this type of bay window device is simply a space that protrudes to the outdoors, and has almost no function of storing things; the protruding space is only used to place objects such as flower pots. It's just there. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a structure in which a rack 2 is installed within a bay window frame 1 has been proposed. The rack 2 is suspended from a known rail (not shown) installed on the ceiling of the bay window, and is movable left and right within the bay window frame 1. In other words, the user can freely move between a space 4 facing the window 3 of the building and a space 5 located to the side thereof and covered by a wall on the indoor side. According to this configuration, each shelf 2a, 2 of the rack 2
Since things can be placed in the bay window frame 1, the inside of the bay window frame 1 can be utilized as a storage space for things. Moreover, if the rack 2 is stored in the space 5, each shelf 2a, 2
Items placed in b... are not exposed to the outside, so they are not unsightly, and the window 3 installed in the bay window frame 1
It does not obstruct sunlight from coming in.

However, this bay window device has the drawback that items that are not used often are pulled out during regular use. In other words, the items stored in Rack 2 include:
There are items that are rarely used and items that are always used, but with this bay window device, items that are rarely used can also be pulled out all the time, making it easy to use.
It is extremely irrational as it requires unnecessary effort to move.

The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned problems in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bay window device that not only has the function of storing things but also allows racks to be drawn out in a rational manner. Two rows of racks, front and rear, each having a width smaller than the width of the bay window, are provided on one side of the bay window space. It is movable left and right in the space, and can be freely pulled out to the front when it is pulled out to the other side space of the bay window, and a door that can be opened and closed is provided in front of the front row rack, and a door is provided on the side on the opening side of the rear row rack. A side plate is provided at the end to cover the side of the rear rack and the side of the front rack, and a grip is provided at the front of the side plate.

According to this configuration, the racks in the front and rear rows are usually covered with doors and side panels, so there is no discomfort in the bay window area, and by opening these doors, articles can be taken in and out of the racks in the front row, and The rack can be moved to take items in and out, and has the effect of being able to be moved easily.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the figure, 6 is a sink, and 7 is a bay window corresponding to the sink. A window 8 is provided in about half of the bay window section 7 in the lateral direction on the outdoor side, and the other half is shielded by a shielding member 9 such as a wall or a board. In the space on the shielding member 9 side of the bay window 7, there are two rows of racks 10, front and rear, each having a width approximately half the width of the bay window 7.
The rack 11 in the rear row is suspended from a rail 12 provided on the ceiling of the bay window 7, and is configured to be able to be pulled out to the space corresponding to the window 8 of the bay window 7. The main part 11a is guided by a suspension rail 13 and can be freely pulled out forward (see FIG. 5). Also,
The rear row rack 11 has a side plate 14 at the window side end that can cover the side of the front row rack 10.
A handle 15 is provided on a part of this side plate 14. The front rack 10 is fixed in front of the shielding member 9. A door 16 that can be opened forward is provided in front of the rack 10 in the front row. 17 in the figure is the handle of the door 16;
8 is a wall. Note that the door 16 may be opened and closed like a sliding door.

In the bay window device having the above structure, for example, infrequently used items are stored in the racks 10 in the front row, and frequently used items are stored in the racks 11 in the rear row, and normally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, The racks 10 and 11 of each row are moved to positions corresponding to the shielding members 9 of the bay window portion 7. In this state, the racks 10 and 11 are located behind the door 16 so that the stored items are not exposed, and the window 8 allows sunlight to enter. Therefore, the bay window 7 does not look unsightly, and the sink 6 can be operated without any trouble. Next, when frequently used items are to be taken out or put in, the rack 11 in the rear row is moved to a position corresponding to the window 8 and pulled out to the front. This rack 11 is lighter than those shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and is convenient because it can be moved with less force. Further, the door 16 is opened to take articles in and out of the rack 10 in the front row. in this case,
Since the rack 11 is on the front side, it is easy to reach, so there is no problem even if it is fixed.

In addition, although the kitchen was explained in this example,
In a study room, the racks 10 and 11 can be used in a similar manner as bookshelves.

In this way, the bay window device of the present invention is provided with racks in two rows, front and rear, and the racks in the front row are fixed at one side of the bay window space, and the rear racks are movable left and right in the bay window space, and Since the drawer can be freely pulled out to the front while being pulled out into the space on the other side of the bay window, for example, items that are used less frequently can be stored in the racks in the front row, and items that are more frequently used can be stored in the racks in the back row. It can be stored easily and is easy to use.Furthermore, there is a door in front of the front rack that can be opened and closed, and a handle is installed in the front of this side plate, so the sides of the front rack and rear rack can be easily accessed. The separation line is covered with the side plate, which provides a good appearance and also makes it easier to operate.
