[0027] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the fixing members 8 are fixed to the side wall portion 24 and the grill partition wall portion 28 of the kitchen unit body 2. The fixing members 8 are, for example, stepped screws such as thumbscrews. Two fixing members 8 are attached to each of the side wall portion 24 and the grill partition wall portion 28 of the kitchen unit body 2, spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The front fixing member 8 will be referred to as the front fixing member 81. The rear fixing member 8 will be referred to as the rear fixing member 82. A gap is formed between the heads 811 and 821 of the front fixing member 81 and the rear fixing member 82, respectively, and the side wall portion 24 or grill partition wall portion 28 to which they are attached.
[0028] The reinforcing member 4 is fixed to the kitchen unit body 2 as follows. The reinforcing member 4 is delivered to the site with the decorative member 6 and packing 7 attached to the reinforcing member 5, and is fixed to the kitchen unit body 2 at the site. The fixing member 8 is attached in advance to the first side wall portion 241 and the grill partition wall portion 28 at a factory or elsewhere. The reinforcing member 4 is fixed to the first side wall portion 241 and the grill partition wall portion 28 by hooking the shaft portion 812 of the front fixing member 81, which is fixed to the side wall portion 24 or the grill partition wall portion 28, from above into the first notch 541 of the side plate portion 54 of the reinforcing member 5, and by moving it backward so that the shaft portion 822 of the rear fixing member 82, which is fixed to the side wall portion 24 or the grill partition wall portion 28, is inserted into the second notch 542 of the side plate portion 54.
[0029] The reinforcing members 4 fixed to the first side wall 241 and the grill partition wall 28 are positioned below the top plate 25. The top plate 25 rests on the upper surface of the upper plate 51 of the reinforcing member 5 and the upper end surfaces of the front plate 62 and rear plate 63 of the design member 6. The upper plate 51 of the reinforcing member 5 is fixed to the top plate 25 by fasteners 55 inserted into each of the multiple holes 511 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction. In other words, the reinforcing member 5 is fixed to the top plate 25 at multiple locations spaced apart in the left-right direction.
[0030] Once the reinforcing member 4 is fixed to the kitchen unit body 2, the decorative member 6 is positioned between the countertop 25 and the grill equipment 321. As shown in Figure 11, the packing 7 is positioned behind the front plate 31a of the drawer 31. The packing 7 is compressed between the front plate 31a of the drawer 31 and the reinforcing member 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 4 consists of a reinforcing member 5 fixed to the first side wall portion 241 and the grill partition wall portion 28, and a design member 6 fixed to the reinforcing member 5, upon which the top plate portion 25 is placed. Therefore, the reinforcing member 5 and design member 6 of the reinforcing member 4 can reinforce the top plate portion 25 from below. This prevents the top plate portion 25 from bending downwards, even if its thickness is reduced. The design member 6 provided on the front side of the reinforcing member 5 can close the gap between the top plate portion 25 and the grill equipment 321. This prevents objects or the user's hands from getting caught in the gap between the top plate portion 25 and the grill equipment 321, and also improves the aesthetic appearance of the kitchen unit 1. The design member 6 has a lower plate portion 61. This prevents objects or the user's hands from getting caught in the gap between the design member 6 and the grill equipment 321, even if objects or the user's hands get caught in the gap between the design member 6 and the grill equipment 321. The packing 7 of the reinforcing material 4 is positioned on the rear side of the front plate 31a of the drawer section 31. As a result, when the drawer section 31 is retracted, the packing 7 seals the gap between the front plate 31a of the drawer section 31 and the reinforcing member 5, thereby preventing dirt, dust, and other debris from entering the inside of the drawer section 31.
[0032] The reinforcing member 5 is fixed to the top plate portion 25 at multiple points spaced apart in the left-right direction. As a result, the top plate portion 25 becomes integrated with the reinforcing member 5, preventing the top plate portion 25 from bending. Increasing the number of fasteners 55 for fixing the reinforcing member 5 to the top plate portion 25 further integrates the top plate portion 25 with the reinforcing member 5, allowing the top plate portion 25 to be effectively reinforced even with a smaller cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing member 5.
[0033] (Second Embodiment) As shown in Figure 12, the reinforcing member 4B of the kitchen unit 1B in the second embodiment has a design member 6B that is vertically symmetrical to the design member 6 of the first embodiment. The design member 6B has an upper plate portion 66 at its upper end, instead of the lower plate portion 61 that was provided at the lower end of the design member 6 in the first embodiment. The front plate portion 62 protrudes downward from the front edge of the upper plate portion 66. The rear plate portion 63 protrudes downward from the rear edge of the upper plate portion 66. The side plate portion 64 protrudes downward from the side edge of the upper plate portion 66. The rear plate portion 63 has a hole 631 into which a fastener 65 for fixing the design member 6 to the reinforcing member 5 is inserted, similar to the first embodiment. The upper plate portion 66 has a plurality of holes 661 that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction.
[0034] The reinforcing member 4B is positioned on the underside of the top plate portion 25, and the reinforcing member 5 and the decorative member 6B are fixed to the top plate portion 25. The decorative member 6B is fixed to the top plate portion 25 from below by fasteners 67 such as screws inserted into holes 661 in the upper plate portion 66.
[0035] The kitchen unit 1B and reinforcing member 4B of the second embodiment provide the same effects as the first embodiment. The reinforcing member 4B can reinforce the countertop 25 more effectively because the design member 6B is fixed to the countertop 25, thereby integrating with the countertop 25 over a wide area.
[0036] This disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing member 4 is installed between the first side wall portion 241 and the grill partition wall portion 28 and is provided above the drawer portion 31 and the grill equipment 321. In contrast, side wall portions 24 and grill partition wall portions 28 may be provided adjacent to both sides of the grill equipment 321, and the reinforcing member 4 may be installed between the side wall portions 24 and grill partition wall portions 28 adjacent to both sides of the grill equipment 321. Drawer portions 31 and other equipment may be provided on both sides of the grill equipment 321, and the reinforcing member 4 may be installed on the side wall portions 24 and intermediate wall portions provided on the outside of these. The packing 7 does not have to be attached to the reinforcing member 5.
[0037] The shapes of the reinforcing members 5 and the design members 6 may be set as appropriate. The number of fasteners 55 for fixing the reinforcing members 5 to the top plate portion 25 and the fixing method may be set as appropriate. The fixing method for fixing the reinforcing members 5 to the side wall portion 24 and the grill partition wall portion 28 may be set as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
