Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kitchen device equipped with a storage cabinet for storing tableware, pots and other household items;
Concerning washbasin devices and other similar furniture devices.

Conventional structure and its problems Conventionally, for example, in a kitchen device, as shown in FIGS. A rack body 4 that is pulled out near the sink 1 is movably provided within the cabinet 3. The rack body 4 has a depth C that is approximately half that of the storage cabinet 3, and the rack body 4 is moved from the rear side of the storage cabinet 3 to the rear side of the worktop as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the rack body 4 is moved from the front side of the storage cabinet 3 to the front side of the worktop 2. With this device, the rack 4 can be set near the work position A, so the operator can take items such as tableware and pots into and out of the rack 4 while staying at the work position A or while moving only slightly. This has various advantages, such as making kitchen work more efficient and easier. However, the rack body 4 is configured to be movable only toward the sink 1 side, as shown by arrow T in FIG.
For this reason, there is a drawback that it is difficult to take items in and out of the back side portion B of the rack body 4. That is, when the depth dimension C of the rack body 4 is formed to be as large as the depth dimension D of the worktop 2, or when the rack body 4 is located on the rear side of the worktop 2 as shown in FIG. ,
Since the distance from the work position A to the part B increases, it becomes difficult for the worker's hand to reach the part B, making it difficult to put in and take out articles.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the depth C of the rack 4 may be set to about half the depth D of the worktop 2, and the rack 4 may be provided on the front side of the worktop 2, as shown in FIG. However, in this case, although the rear side portion B of the rack body 4 approaches the working position A, a new problem arises in that the rack body 4 becomes smaller and the amount of articles stored therein must be considerably reduced.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a furniture device that allows articles to be taken in and out of a rack more easily without reducing the amount of articles stored in the rack.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the furniture device of the present invention has the following features:
A door device is installed on the worktop equipped with equipment such as a sink or stove, and in the eye-level space above the worktop on the side of the equipment, covering almost the entire surface of the side wall facing the side of the equipment, and almost the entire surface of the front wall connected to this side wall. A rectangular storage cabinet with a continuous opening that can be opened and closed is disposed, and a rectangular rack body with approximately the same planar size as the interior of the cabinet is provided within this cabinet. The body is configured so that it can be moved freely to the eye level space near the front side of the device depth to the extent that its rear side remains in the storage cabinet,
According to this configuration, it is possible to obtain the effect that articles can be taken in and out of the rack body more easily without reducing the amount of articles stored in the rack body.

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 in the side wall 8a of the cabinet 8 facing the equipment 7 and the front wall 8b connected to the side wall 8a; 10 is a door device for opening and closing the opening 9; It is set up. Reference numeral 11 designates a rack body provided in the cabinet 8, whose depth T is approximately the same as the depths L and L, and which is rectangular in size and approximately the same size as the planar shape inside the cabinet 8, and is used for storing tableware, 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. Also, this rack body 11 is represented by an imaginary line 11' in Fig. 6.
As shown, it is movable so that it can be drawn out of the cabinet 8 through the opening 9. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, a pin 14 is provided protrudingly from the center of the bottom of the rack body 11, while the cabinet 8
A guide groove 15 is formed at the bottom of the cabinet 8 on the diagonal lines O and O', and the pin 14 is positioned within the guide groove 15 and slides therethrough. As shown in FIG. 6, the cabinet 8 moves along diagonal lines O and O'. In other words, the rack body 11 has its rear side movable toward the front side 6a near the front side of the depth of the equipment 7, and is set in the eye level space S near the equipment 7 on the front side 6a of the worktop 6.

The configuration for moving the rack body 11 is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this, and various means such as using a suspension rail (not shown) may be employed.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the rack body 11 was moved along the diagonal lines O and O' of the cabinet 8, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. After the body 11 is moved toward the equipment 7 (arrow A), it may be moved toward the front 6a of the worktop 6 (arrow B). In short, it is sufficient that the rack body 11 is at least near the equipment 7 and drawn out into the eye-level space S on the front side 6a of the worktop 6. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the door device 10 is constituted by a door 10a pivotally mounted on the cabinet 8 and a door 10b provided on the rack body 11.

As in the above configuration, the rack body 11 has a rectangular shape that is approximately the same size as the planar shape inside the rectangular storage cabinet 8, so that a large amount of articles can be stored, and the rack body 11 can be Since the front side is pulled out and set in the eye-level space S near the front side of the depth of the equipment 7, it is easy to work while staying at the working position C in front of the equipment 7 or by moving very slightly from the said position. Articles can be easily taken in and out of the body 11. That is, as shown in FIG.
Since the work position C is moved closer to the side, the distance from the work position C to the back side part D of the rack body 11 is getting closer, and therefore the worker can easily reach the part C, making it easier to put in and take out items than before. This can be done more easily than other devices.

Note that the worktop 6 is not limited to only one side of the cabinet 8 as shown in FIG.
They may also be provided on the other side, so-called a letter-shaped arrangement; in such an L-shaped arrangement, it is more effective to move the rack body 11 along the diagonal lines O and O' of the cabinet 8. That is, articles can be easily taken in and out of the rack body 11 from the other worktop 6' side. Further, the equipment 7 is not limited to the sink, and various other equipment such as a heating cooker 7', a wash basin (not shown), and others may be built-in or placed on the worktop 6.
