  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the front door 24 which opens and closes the household appliance storage part 5 is provided in the front opening part by the side of the kitchen K of the household appliance storage part 5. As shown in FIG. The front door 24 is retractably stored in a front door storage portion 25 formed between the slide shelf 15 and the bottom plate 7 and is stored in the slide shelf 15 in an overlapping manner when stored. Further, the front door 24 is rotatable in a state where it is pulled out from the front door storage portion 25, and opens and closes the front opening on the kitchen K side of the home appliance storage portion 5. In order to allow the front door 24 to slide and rotate freely, a slide rotation mechanism 26 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 is employed.

  The slide rotation mechanism 26 includes a slide rail 27 disposed below the rails 17 shown in FIG. 3 <b> on the lower inner side surfaces of the left and right side plates 8 forming the home appliance storage unit 5, and a slide It has a roller 28 fitted to the rail 27 so that it can run freely, and is composed of a slide member 29 to which the lower end of the front door 24 is rotatably attached.

  The slide member 29 is a member that is elongated in the left-right direction. The shaft portion 30 is installed at both left and right ends, and the shaft portion 30 is rotatably fitted in a bearing portion 31 provided at the lower end portion of the front door 24. . The bearing portion 31 is formed by forming a hole in a protrusion 33 that protrudes from the back surface side of the front door 24 in a rotation support portion 32 provided at the lower end portion of the front door 24.

  By such a slide rotation mechanism 26, the front door 24 rotates in the vertical direction about the shaft portion 30 of the slide member 29. When the front door 24 is rotated downward, the home appliance storage unit 5 is opened and disposed horizontally. The upper surface of the rotation support unit 32 contacts the lower surface of the slide member 29, and the front door 24 is held in a horizontal state. Is done. When the front door 24 is pushed rearward in the horizontal state, the slide member 29 moves rearward along the slide rail 27, and the front door 24 overlaps the slide shelf 15 in the front door storage portion 25 immediately below the slide shelf 15. Can be stored. When the front door 24 in the storage state is pulled out toward the kitchen K side, the slide member 29 moves forward along the slide rail 27, and the front door 24 can be pulled out from the home appliance storage unit 5 to the kitchen K side. it can. By rotating the front door 24 upward and standing in the state of being pulled out in this manner, the front opening on the kitchen K side of the home appliance storage unit 5 can be closed as shown in FIG. The lower end of the door 24 covers the front end surface of the slide shelf 15. The front door 24 can be kept closed by a magnet, a roller catch or the like.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the facing storage cabinet 1 is provided with a rear door 34 that opens and closes the rear end opening of the home appliance storage unit 5 on the dining room D side. The rear door 34 is a flip-up type. As shown in FIG. 7, a pair of left and right arms 35 are rotatably connected at one end to each of the left and right side plates 8 forming the home appliance storage unit 5, and the other end of the arm 35 is connected to the rear door 34. The lower end of the back surface is connected to the left and right sides so as to be freely rotatable. A handle 36 is provided at the center of the lower end portion of the front side of the rear door 34. When the handle 36 is grasped and pulled upward, the rear door 34 rotates upward, and the rear end opening of the home appliance storage unit 5 on the dining room D side can be opened.

  In the face-to-face storage cabinet 1 as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the home appliance 37 such as a rice cooker, a jar pot, or a coffee maker is stored in the home appliance storage section 5, the front door 24 is moved downward. To open the front opening on the kitchen K side of the home appliance storage 5 and slide the front door 24 in the horizontal state or with the front door 24 pushed backward and stored in the front door storage 25. The home appliance 37 is placed on the slide shelf 15 without pulling out the shelf 15 to the kitchen K side or pulling it out. The electric cord 38 is pulled into the home appliance storage unit 5 and the plug 39 at the tip is connected to the electric outlet 9. The electrical outlet 9 is connected to a power line, and can supply power to the home appliance 37. When the slide shelf 15 is pulled out, the home appliance 37 can be stored in the home appliance storage unit 5 by pushing the slide shelf 15 into the home appliance storage unit 5.

  When the home appliance 37 is stored, as shown in FIG. 8, the front opening on the kitchen K side of the home storage 5 can be closed by the front door 24, and the rear opening on the dining room D side is the rear door 34. The home appliance 37 is not exposed and the appearance is improved. When operating the home appliance 37 during storage, the ventilator 10 is operated by the operation unit. Steam or hot air generated from the home appliance 37 can be sucked in from the suction port 11 and exhausted from the outlet 12 to the outside of the home appliance storage unit 5. Therefore, no steam or hot air is trapped in the home appliance storage unit 5.

  The home appliance 37 stored in the home appliance storage section 5 can be accessed from both sides of the kitchen K and the dining room D. By opening the front door 24, as shown in FIG. Can be pulled out to the side and used. Further, by opening the rear door 34, it can be pulled out to the dining room D side and used. The work flow becomes shorter, and the face-to-face storage cabinet 1 is excellent in usability.

  The opened front door 24 can be stored in a compact manner overlapping the slide shelf 15 in the front door storage portion 25 formed between the slide shelf 15 and the bottom plate 7 forming the home appliance storage portion 5, The slide shelf 15 can be pulled out to the kitchen K side without interfering with the front door 24. Since the door 34 is raised upward after being opened, the slide shelf 15 can be pulled out to the dining room D side without interfering with the rear door 34. The drawer shelf 15 can be easily pulled out to the kitchen K and the dining room D side.

  Further, since both the front door 24 and the rear door 34 rotate in the vertical direction, the effective dimension in the left-right direction of the home appliance storage unit 5 can be increased, and the opening and closing of the front door 24 and the rear door 34 This can be done reliably without being hindered by the presence of other storage cabinets.

  Thus, the face-to-face storage cabinet 1 that partitions the kitchen K and the dining room D and can store the home appliance 37 is provided. In the face-to-face storage cabinet 1, the work flow line is shortened and it is easy to use.

  2 and 6 to 8 show specific examples in which the slide shelf 15 can be pulled out to either the kitchen K or the dining room D. FIGS. 3 <a> and <b> to FIG. The example which can draw 15 to both the kitchen K and the dining room D is shown.
