Description

  The present invention relates to an upper cabinet installed on a wall surface such as above a kitchen.

  Conventionally, the upper cabinet is provided with a handle on the front door, but at present, a handleless upper cabinet without a handle on the front door is also generally used.

  As a handleless upper cabinet, as in the upper cabinet 31 of the first conventional example shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the bottom plate 32 is shorter than the side plate 33 in the front-rear direction and between the front door 36. A gap 37 is provided so that the front door 36 can be opened by placing a hand on the inner surface of the lower end portion of the front door 36, and an insecticidal packing 38 is fixed to the upper surface of the front end portion of the bottom plate 32 to remove the gap from the gap 37. A configuration for preventing insects from entering is known.

  4C and 4D, the lower end portion 43 of the front door 42 extends below the bottom plate 47 of the cabinet main body 46 so as to extend to the front side. A configuration is known in which the front door 42 can be opened by placing a hand on the inner surface of the lower end portion 43 of the door 42.

  Furthermore, the draining shelf is provided horizontally in the bottom part of the hanging door shelf, and the structure by which the downward direction of the draining shelf is open | released is known (refer patent document 1).

Although the lower end is aligned with the range hood or the like, the cabinet body 46 on the back side has a short length, and therefore the lower end does not align with the range hood or the like.

  And although the hanging door shelf of patent document 1 can be opened by putting a hand on the lower end part of a front door, the structure open | released below is as a structure for the special uses which provide a draining shelf in a bottom part. Although it is unavoidable, an ordinary hanging cabinet is not preferable because it looks bad and dust, water, moisture, insects, etc. easily enter from below.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, the lower end of the front door is aligned with the lower end of the cabinet body, and the lower end of the front door can be handled, and dust, water, moisture, insects, etc. are seen from below. It is an object to realize an upper cabinet of a type that is difficult to enter and does not have a handle with a high degree of freedom of storage.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is an upper cabinet installed on a wall surface, wherein the upper cabinet is formed in a box shape so that the front surface is open, and a cabinet main body having an interior as a storage portion; A front door that is attached to the front side of the cabinet body and opens and closes around an axis along either the side plate or the top plate of the cabinet body, and below the bottom plate of the cabinet body. And a storage shelf that is open at the front , and the bottom plate extends to the front end of the side plate, and is provided so as to close the downward opening of the cabinet body. The front door is aligned with the lower end of the front door, and at least a part of the front end in the width direction is provided at a position retracted from the front end of the bottom plate of the cabinet body. By the have clues portion for opening and closing the front door is formed, the in front of the storage rack are not packing is attached, a top plate of the cabinet main body, the front surface of the bottom plate and left and right side plates Packing is affixed to the end, and the top plate, the bottom plate, and the left and right side plates are in contact with the front door through the packing to provide an upper cabinet.

  A plurality of storage shelves are fixed to the cabinet body, and the storage shelves and the bottom plate of the cabinet body are larger than the height of a plurality of storage spaces partitioned by the storage shelves. It is preferable that the height dimension of the storage space is set small.

According to the present invention, the following effects are produced.
(1) Since the lower end of the front door and the lower end of the cabinet main body are aligned, it is possible to align the lower end with the adjacent range hood and the like, and the design of the entire kitchen is not impaired.

  An embodiment of the upper cabinet according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The upper cabinet 1 of an Example is installed and used for wall surfaces, such as a kitchen. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the upper cabinet 1 is formed in a box shape so that the front surface is opened, and a cabinet main body portion 2 having the inside as a storage portion, a front door 3, It has.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the cabinet body 2 includes left and right side plates 6, a top plate 7, a bottom plate 8, and a storage shelf 9 provided below the bottom plate 8. ing. In the cabinet main body 2, one or more storage shelves 11 are attached (two in this embodiment).

  On the rear surface side of the cabinet main body 2, horizontal crosspieces 12 are provided vertically, and a thin plate 13 is attached to the front face of the crosspieces 12. The thin plate 13 closes the rear opening of the cabinet body 2.

  The front door 3 is attached to the front side of the cabinet body 2 so as to be openable and closable. Specifically, the front door 3 is pivoted about an axis along either the side plate 6 or the top plate 7 of the cabinet body 2 and is attached so as to be openable and closable.

  In the present embodiment, the front door 3 includes two left and right front doors, which are provided at the front ends of the left and right side plates 6 so that the front doors 3 can be opened and closed leftward and rightward (with double doors). Although not shown, the front door 3 may be configured to be pivotable about an axis along the top plate 7. In that case, what is necessary is just to set it as the structure attached to the front end of the top plate 7 with a hinge. Moreover, it can also be set as the structure of a single opening with one front door.

  The bottom plate 8 extends to the front end of the side plate 6 at the lower part of the cabinet body 2 and is provided so as to close the downward opening of the cabinet body 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the storage shelf 9 provided below the bottom plate 8 has its lower surface aligned with the lower end of the front door 3 and the lower end of the side plate 6, and At least a part of the front end 17 in the lateral width direction, in other words, the entire region or part of the lateral width direction is provided at a position retracted from the front end 18 of the other part of the cabinet body 2 such as the bottom plate 8 and the side plate 6. .

  When the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 is provided at a position retracted from the front end 18 of the other part of the cabinet main body 2, the front door 3 and the storage shelf 9 Since a gap 21 remains between the two, a clue portion is formed that opens and closes by placing a hand through the gap 21 and placing a hand on the lower rear surface of the front door 3.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2A, the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 is located at a position where the entire area in the lateral width direction is retracted from the front end 18 of the other part of the cabinet body 2 such as the bottom plate 8 and the side plate 6. A gap 21 is formed between the front door 3 and the front side door 3 to form a clue portion in the entire width direction of the cabinet body 2.

  In the case where the gap 21 forming the clue portion is provided in the entire region in the width direction, the storage shelf 9 is formed to have a depth dimension so as to be uniformly retreated from the front end of the side plate 6.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2A, the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 is located in a position where the entire region in the lateral width direction is retracted from the front end 18 of the other part of the cabinet body 2 such as the side plate 6. A gap 21 is provided between the front door 3 and the front side door 3 to form a clue portion in the entire width direction of the cabinet body 2.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2B, two parts corresponding to a part of the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 in the horizontal width direction, that is, the left and right front doors 3 are the bottom plate 8 and the side plate 6 and the like. The gap 21 that forms a clue portion with the front door 3 corresponding to a part in the width direction, that is, the left and right front doors 3, is configured so as to be retreated from the front end 18 of the portion. There are two places.

  In order to achieve such a configuration, the storage shelf 9 has a left and right cut corresponding to the horizontal and vertical widths of the left and right gaps 21 from the front end 17 toward the rear with respect to a portion where the left and right gaps 21 are formed. A notch 24 is formed, and the other part of the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 is formed so as to be in the same position as the front end 18 of the other part of the cabinet body 2 such as the bottom plate 8 and the side plate 6. ing.

  In this way, the storage shelf 9 is at a position where at least a part of the front end 17 in the width direction, in other words, the entire region or a part of the width direction recedes from the front end of the other part of the cabinet body 2. The gap 21 that is configured as described above and forms the clue portion is provided in at least a part in the lateral width direction, in other words, in the entire region or a part in the lateral width direction.

  The plurality of storage shelves 11 for storage form a plurality of storage spaces 22 by dividing the inside of the cabinet body 2. The height dimension of the storage space 25 between the storage shelf 9 and the bottom plate 8 of the cabinet body 2 is set smaller than the height dimension of the plurality of storage spaces 22.

  For example, the height of the storage space 25 between the storage shelf 9 and the bottom plate 8 of the cabinet body 2 is about 50 to 60 mm by providing the bottom plate 8 at a position of about 50 to 60 mm above the storage shelf 9. is there. Such a storage space 25 is suitable for storing a relatively flat and thin article such as a tray or a book.

  A lower end inner surface 26 from the lower end of the front door 3 to the lower surface of the bottom plate 8 is a portion that can be put on when the front door 3 is opened. Accordingly, as described above, if the bottom plate 8 is provided at a position of about 50 to 60 mm above the storage shelf 9, the dimension is such that the lower end inner surface 26 of the front door 3 can be sufficiently handled. Can be secured.

  When the front door 3 is closed, the front end of the left and right side plates 6, the front end of the bottom plate 8, the front end of the top plate 7, and the left and right sides are arranged so that dust, water, moisture, insects, etc. are less likely to enter the cabinet. A packing 23 is affixed to one of the mating surfaces of the front door 3. However, since the clearance 21 which forms a clue part is provided in the front surface of the storage shelf 9 in a part or the entire region in the lateral width direction, it is not necessary to affix packing.

  A gap 21 is formed between the front door 3 and the front end 17 of the storage shelf 9 so as to form a clue part in a part or the entire area in the lateral width direction. Since 2 is closed, even if dust, water, moisture, insects, etc. enter through the gap 21, they do not enter the storage space 22 of the cabinet body 2.
