The side fixing portion 34 of the bracket 32 is fixed to the inner surface 21 of the side wall member 20. In this way, the fascia member 30 is attached between the multiple side wall members 20. Since there is no lintel that supports the fascia member from the rear across the front and upper portions of the multiple side wall members 20 as in the conventional system, there is no need to remove the lintel when installing the top panel member 25. This improves ease of installation.
[0055] The screw step portion 38b of the screw member 38 screwed into the side wall member 20 is received in the insertion portion 34b of the bracket 32. The bracket 32 can be positioned relative to the side wall member 20 in the front-rear direction X.
[0056] A screw member 39 is passed through the insertion hole 34c on the lower side of the bracket 32, and the screw member 39 is screwed into the side wall member 20. The bracket 32 can be easily fixed to the side wall member 20 by the screw member 39.
[0057] The rear fixing portion 33 and the side fixing portion 34 of the bracket 32 are connected at two locations, upper and lower, by reinforcing flat plate portions 35. This makes it possible to increase the rigidity of the bracket 32.
[0058] (Modification) The bracket of the modified example will be described mainly with reference to Fig. 7. In the description of the modified example shown below, the same members as those described above are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
[0059] 7, no insertion hole 34c is formed in the upper end and the lower end of the side fixing part 34 of the bracket 32A. The upper end and the lower end of the side fixing part 34 are formed with an insertion part 34b.
[0060] As in the embodiment described above, the upper insertion portion 34b receives a screw step portion 38b of a screw member 38. The lower insertion portion 34b receives a screw member 39. The screw member 39 is screwed into the second side wall member 20b.
[0061] In the kitchen unit 100 configured in this manner, the rear fixing portion 33 of the bracket 32A is fixed to the rear surface 30b of the fascia member 30. The side fixing portion 34 of the bracket 32A is fixed to the inner surface 21 of the side wall member 20. In this way, the fascia member 30 is attached between the multiple side wall members 20. Since there is no lintel that supports the fascia member from the rear across the front and upper portions of the multiple side wall members 20 as in the conventional system, there is no need to remove the lintel when installing the top panel member 25. This improves ease of installation.
[0062] The insertion portion 34b of the bracket 32A functions both as a hole for receiving the screw step portion 38b of the screw member 38 and as a hole into which the screw member 39 is screwed. Since the amount of machining of the bracket 32A can be reduced compared to when a hole for inserting the screw member 38 and a hole for screwing the screw member 39 are separately provided, machining of the bracket 32A is easier.
[0063] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the examples. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.
[0064] In the above embodiment, a kitchen unit has been described as an example of a cabinet, but the cabinet is not limited to this. The cabinet may be a cabinet in a washroom, a desk with storage, or the like.
[0065] In the embodiment described above, the bracket 32 has the reinforcing plate portion 35, but this is not limited to this. The rear fixing portion 33 and the side fixing portion 34 do not have to be connected by the reinforcing plate portion 35. [Explanation of symbols]
