Description

[Technical field]

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a face-to-face kitchen. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a technique relating to a counter-style kitchen is disclosed in Patent Document 1. The cabinet in Patent Document 1 has a side panel having a predetermined thickness attached to a side surface of the main body.

[0003] In a conventional counter-style kitchen 900 equipped with a kitchen 9 and a counter-style cabinet 8, as shown in Fig. 9, the side of the kitchen 9 is covered by a kitchen-side side panel 91, and the side of the counter-style cabinet 8 is covered by a counter-cabinet-side side panel 95. In the conventional counter-style kitchen 900, the kitchen-side side panel 91 is positioned to cover the side of a back guard 93 of the kitchen 9. This causes the kitchen-side side panel 91 to rise up higher than the countertop 92 of the kitchen 9. This creates a feeling of oppression on the side of the kitchen 9, resulting in poor design.

[0004] In addition, in conventional counter-style kitchens, the kitchen countertop and the counter-cabinet countertop are at different heights, so it is possible to form a cutout in the kitchen side panel to create a sense of openness. However, if a cutout is formed, the counter-style kitchen lacks a sense of unity and has low design quality. Furthermore, if the kitchen side panel and the counter-cabinet side panel are integrated, the range of expression of the counter-style kitchen is narrow and the design quality is low.

[0005] In addition, in a conventional counter-style kitchen 900, as shown in FIG. 10, the kitchen-side side panel 91 and the counter-cabinet-side side panel 95 are provided independently of each other and are not connected to each other. In particular, in a conventional counter-style kitchen 900, as shown in FIG. 9, the side of the back guard 93 is covered by the kitchen-side side panel 91, and the counter-cabinet-side side panel 95 covers only the counter-style cabinet. For this reason, the kitchen-side side panel 91 and the counter-cabinet-side side panel 95 cannot be connected to each other by a connecting member from the space inside the counter-style kitchen 100. For this reason, there is a risk of a gap being generated between the two side panels when a load is applied to the counter-style cabinet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the first side panel 3 is disposed on the side of the kitchen 1 and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The first side panel 3 is, for example, a melamine laminate, a ceramic plate, a stainless steel plate, a glass plate, or the like. The upper surface 3a of the first side panel 3 is disposed below the upper surface 13a of the back guard 13 and above the upper surface 12a of the kitchen countertop 12. The upper surface 3a of the first side panel 3 is formed in a flat shape. The front end of the upper surface 3a of the first side panel 3 may be chamfered, and even in this case, it can be said to be flat. The plate thickness t1 of the first side panel 3 in the left-right direction X is, for example, about 15 mm.

[0030] 5, the first side panel 3 is attached to the kitchen side panel 11 via an attachment member 6. The first side panel 3 is arranged so as to cover the kitchen side panel 11 and the side surface 12b of the kitchen countertop 12. The attachment member 6 is arranged in a space S formed in the kitchen side panel 11, and a well-known attachment member for attaching the first side panel 3 to the kitchen side panel 11 is used.

[0031] The second side panel 4 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in Fig. 1. For example, a melamine decorative board, a ceramic board, a stainless steel board, a glass board, or the like is used for the second side panel 4. The second side panel 4 may be made of the same material as the facing cabinet top panel 21. As shown in Fig. 2, the second side panel 4 is disposed so as to cover the side surface 13b of the back guard 13. The second side panel 4 protrudes forward, toward the kitchen space P, beyond the facing cabinet holding plate 24.

[0032] 4, it is preferable that the width L2 in the front-rear direction Y of the second side panel 4 is the same as, for example, the width L1 in the front-rear direction Y of the facing cabinet top panel 21, and the front surface 4c of the second side panel 4 is flush with the front surface 21c of the facing cabinet top panel 21. Note that the width L2 in the front-rear direction Y of the second side panel 4 may be different from, for example, the width L1 in the front-rear direction Y of the facing cabinet top panel 21.

[0033] 5, the plate thickness t2 of the second side plate 4 in the left-right direction X is, for example, about 18 mm. The plate thickness t2 of the second side plate 4 in the left-right direction X is preferably different from the plate thickness t1 of the first side plate 3 in the left-right direction X. The plate thickness t2 of the second side plate 4 in the left-right direction X is more preferably thicker than the plate thickness t1 of the first side plate 3 in the left-right direction X. Note that the plate thickness t2 of the second side plate 4 in the left-right direction X may be the same as the plate thickness t1 of the first side plate 3 in the left-right direction X.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting member 5 connects the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4, and is disposed in a space S formed in the kitchen side panel 11. As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting member 5 has a connecting plate 51 and a fixing member 52. The connecting plate 51 is made of, for example, a plate material such as metal. The connecting plate 51 is disposed across the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4. The fixing member 52 is made of, for example, a screw, a nail, or the like. The fixing member 52 penetrates the connecting plate 51 and fixes the connecting plate 51 to the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first side panel 3 is arranged to cover the kitchen side panel 11 and the side surface 12b of the kitchen countertop 12, the top surface 3a of the first side panel 3 is arranged lower than the top surface 13a of the back guard 13 and is formed flat, the second side panel 4 is arranged to cover the side surface 2b of the facing cabinet 2 and the side surface 13b of the back guard 13, and the kitchen side panel 11 has a space S formed therein for arranging a connecting member 5 that connects the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4. This reduces the feeling of oppression on the side surface of the kitchen 1 and makes it possible to improve the design.

[0036] In addition, according to this embodiment, there is no need to form a cutout in the first side panel 3 to cover the back guard 13. This allows for a sense of unity as a counter-style kitchen, improving the design. In addition, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the first side panel 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the boundary portion between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 is disposed facing the space S. That is, the space S serves as an escape space for disposing the connecting member 5. Therefore, the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 can be connected by the connecting member 5 disposed in the space S. As a result, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 when a load is applied to the facing cabinet 2.

[0038] According to this embodiment, since the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 are separate, the combination of colors and patterns of the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 can be set according to the user's preference. This allows the range of expression of the counter-style kitchen 100 to be expanded, and the design quality can be improved.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the second side panel 4 is made of the same material as the facing cabinet top panel 21. This allows for a variety of design expressions by coordinating the combination of the second side panel 4 and the facing cabinet top panel 21, making it possible to further improve the design. In particular, by using the same material for the second side panel 4 and the facing cabinet top panel 21, it is possible to achieve a unique design with a so-called gate motif, making it possible to further improve the design.

[0040] In this embodiment, the width L2 of the second side panel 4 in the front-rear direction Y is the same as the width L1 of the facing cabinet top panel 21 in the front-rear direction Y, and the front surface 4c of the second side panel 4 is flush with the front surface 21c of the facing cabinet top panel 21. As a result, the facing cabinet top panel 21 is disposed so as to cover the upper surface 13a of the back guard 13. This makes it difficult to visually recognize the back guard 13 from above.

[0041] Here, since the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 are installed on-site, if the plate thickness of the first side plate 3 and the plate thickness of the second side plate 4 are the same, when a step occurs between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4, this step may be noticeable as an installation error. In this regard, in this embodiment, the plate thickness t2 of the second side plate 4 is different from the plate thickness of the first side plate 3. As a result, the installation error is absorbed as a step occurring between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4, and the installation error between the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 can be made less noticeable.

[0042] Particularly, in this embodiment, the plate thickness of the second side panel 4 is thicker than the plate thickness of the first side panel 3. As a result, when the counter-style kitchen 100 is viewed from the dining space Q side, the first side panel 3 is covered by the second side panel 4. This improves the appearance of the counter-style kitchen 100 from the dining space Q side, further improving the design.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting member 5 has a connecting plate 51 arranged across the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4, and a fixing member 52 that fixes the connecting plate 51 to the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4. This allows the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 to be fixed along the connecting plate 51. This makes it possible to accurately position the first side plate 3 relative to the second side plate 4 at a designed position.

[0044] Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a first modified example of the counter-style kitchen 100 according to the embodiment. The upper surface 21a of the counter cabinet top plate 21 shown in Fig. 7 is disposed, for example, about 250 mm to 300 mm above the upper surface 12a of the kitchen top plate 12. This makes it possible to increase the storage space of the counter cabinet 2, for example, by providing a drawer or the like in the counter cabinet 2 above the kitchen top plate 12. This makes it possible to further improve convenience.

[0045] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a second modified example of the counter-style kitchen 100 according to the embodiment. The kitchen side panel 11 shown in FIG. 8 is made of wood, and a space S for arranging the connecting member 5 is formed by cutting out a part of the plate thickness direction, such as by countersinking the surface on the first side panel 3 side. In this modified example, this space S becomes a space for arranging the connecting member 5. Therefore, the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 can be connected by the connecting member 5 arranged in the space S. As a result, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the first side panel 3 and the second side panel 4 when a load is applied to the counter-style cabinet. Although not shown, the first side panel 3 may be cut out entirely in the plate thickness direction to form the space S for arranging the connecting member 5.

[0046] Although examples of embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the above-mentioned embodiments are merely illustrative of concrete examples for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted in a limiting manner based on these.
