DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

4 and 5, 5 is a base cabinet that supports the worktop 6, 7 is a device installed on the worktop 6, such as a sink, and 8 is a cabinet placed in the eye-level space S on the side of the device 7. , the depth L is approximately the same as the depth L of the worktop 6. This cabinet 8
is placed on the worktop 6 or on the base cabinet 5. 9 is an opening formed across a side wall 8a of the cabinet 8 facing the equipment 7 and a front wall 8b connected to this side wall 8a;
Reference numeral 10 denotes a door device for opening and closing the opening 9, and in this embodiment, two door devices are pivotally provided to the cabinet 8. Reference numeral 11 designates a rack body provided in the cabinet 8, whose depth dimension T is approximately the same as the depth dimensions L and L, and which has the same shape and is approximately the same size as the planar shape inside the cabinet 8, and is used for storing dishes, pots, etc. It includes a draining shelf 12 for storing household items, a water receiving part 13 for receiving dripping water from the articles stored in the draining shelf 12, and the like. Further, as shown by the imaginary line 11' in FIG. 6, the rack body 11 is movable so as to be drawn out of the cabinet 8 through the opening 9, and is rotatable after being moved. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, a pin 14 is provided protruding from the center of the bottom of the rack body 11, while a guide groove 15 is formed at the bottom of the cabinet 8, located on the diagonal line 0, 0' of the cabinet 8. is,
The pin 14 is positioned and slides within the guide groove 15, thereby causing the rack body 111 to move along the diagonal lines 0 and 0' of the cabinet 8, as shown in FIG. In other words, the rack body 11 is movable in the direction approaching the front side 6a of the depth of the equipment 7 to the extent that its rear side remains in the storage cabinet 8, and is set in the eye-level space S in front of the worktop 6 near the equipment 7. It is. After the movement, a gap H is formed between the back surface of the rack body 11 and the inner wall surface of the cabinet 8, as shown in FIG. 8 and can be rotated left and right. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the angle of rotation of the rack body 11 is approximately 45 degrees on each side, since the corners of the rack body 11 come into contact with the inner wall surface of the cabinet 8 during rotation. When the rack body 11 is pulled out to a position where it does not come into contact with the inner wall surface,
It can also be rotated 360 degrees.

As mentioned above, the rack body 11 has the same shape and approximately the same size as the rectangular storage cabinet 8, so that a large amount of articles can be stored, and even in this case, the rack body 11 can be used to store equipment. 7 side and the front 6a side of the worktop 6, and is set in the eye level space S near the equipment 7, the rear side portion D of the rack body 11 approaches the working position C as shown in FIG. Therefore, it becomes easier to take articles in and out of the D section. Furthermore, by rotating the rack body 11 after it has been moved, more surfaces can be directed toward the working position C, making it easier to take items in and out. This is true when the worktop 6 is also set 6' on the other side of the cabinet 8, as shown in FIG.
This is particularly convenient since it can be directed towards the other appliance 7', for example towards the stove. Furthermore, since the rack body 11 is rotatable within the storage cabinet 8, the interference with work caused by the rack body 11 protruding largely into the work space is reduced. It can be rotated and items can be taken in and out, making it easy to use.

9 and 10 show an example in which the door device 10 is provided on both the cabinet 8 side and the rack body 11 side,
In this case, the rack body 11 is placed on the working position C side.
Since the door 10a will be located at this position, the door 10a will be a bit of a hindrance to the work, but by rotating the rack body 11 about 90 degrees as shown in FIG.
Since the door 10a is located on the back side of the rack body 11, the hindrance to work caused by the door 6a is eliminated.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is also conceivable to use a known suspension rail to move and rotate the rack body 11. Further, the door device 10 may be entirely configured on the rack body 11 side. Further, as the equipment 7, in addition to a sink, a stove, etc., a wash basin or the like may be built-in or placed on the worktop 6.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, an opening is provided that is continuous over almost the entire surface of the side wall of the storage cabinet that faces the side of the equipment, and almost the entire surface of the front wall that is connected to this side wall. , and the rack body has the same shape and is approximately the same size as the planar shape of the interior of the storage cabinet, so that the rear side of the rack body can be freely pulled out from the opening into an eye-level space near the front side of the equipment depth. As a result, a large rack that makes effective use of almost the entire inside of the cabinet is brought closer to the front of the equipment, allowing workers to easily take in and out many items, especially those at the rear of the rack, while remaining in front of the equipment. .

Since the rack is rotatable after being moved, all surfaces of the rack can be placed relative to the sides of the equipment, making it easy to take items in and out.

The rack body is movable to the extent that its rear side remains inside the storage cabinet, and is rotatable within the storage cabinet, so that the work interference caused by the rack body protruding largely into the space in front of the worktop is reduced, and in particular, the worker is not in front of the equipment. While
Alternatively, the rack body can be rotated and articles can be taken in and out with just a slight movement, making it easy to use.

Since the rotational pivot part of the rack body is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the rack body, the rotation locus circle formed at the outer end of the rack body is the same as if the rotational pivot part was provided outside the center part of the bottom surface of the rack body. It can be made smaller compared to
Therefore, the amount of movement required to rotate the rack body can be reduced, which makes the work easier and reduces work hindrances such as rotations that protrude greatly into the space in front of the equipment. .
