[0008] An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the mounting structure for a foot decorative material according to this embodiment is provided in a floor-standing built-in appliance that is pre-installed in a system kitchen 1. The system kitchen 1 is installed in a kitchen or the like, and is a cooking facility in which a counter 2 and a cabinet 3 are integrally formed, and a dishwasher 4 as a floor-standing built-in appliance is placed adjacent to it, and a sink 7 and the like are placed on the top surface of the counter 2.

[0009] The cabinet 3 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and includes a front portion 31, a rear portion 32, a pair of side panels 33, a bottom portion 34, a storage section 35, and a decorative panel 36. The cabinet 3 is disposed below the top plate 20 of the counter 2, which will be described later. In this specification, the side of the system kitchen 1 where the user sits while cooking is referred to as the front, and the side opposite the front is referred to as the rear. The left-right direction of the system kitchen 1 is the direction connecting the left and right when viewed from the front side.

[0010] The bottom surface 34 faces the installation surface, such as a floor, and has a surface extending substantially horizontally. A plate-shaped footwell decorative material 37 is disposed on the front surface of the bottom surface 34. The front surface 31 is a surface extending vertically in front of the cabinet 3. The front surface 31 is provided with a door 351 that opens and closes an opening for accessing the storage section 35. The rear surface 32 is a surface facing the front surface 31. The pair of side panels 33 are plates disposed to extend vertically on one side and the other side of the left and right directions when viewed from the front of the cabinet 3. The decorative panel 36 is disposed outside the side panels 33 and extends from the installation surface to the underside of the counter 2. The decorative panel 36 covers the outside of the top panel 20 and the side panels 33. The storage section 35 is an internal space of the cabinet 3 and is configured to accommodate foodstuffs, tableware, etc. The storage section 35 is formed inside the doors 351, drawers, etc. formed on the front surface 31 and rear surface 32 of the cabinet.

[0011] The top plate 20 is a rectangular plate placed on the upper surface of the cabinet 3, and forms the upper surface of the counter 2. The top plate 20 has a rectangular shape with a larger area than the rectangular shape of the cabinet 3 in a plan view, i.e., the rectangle formed by the front surface 31, rear surface 32, and decorative panel 36 of the cabinet 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the front edge 20a and rear edge 20b of the top plate extend along the longitudinal direction of the top plate 20. The top plate 20 is arranged so as to protrude slightly outward from the front surface 31 and rear surface 32 of the cabinet 3, respectively. The top plate 20 is made of a plate of a predetermined thickness.

[0012] The sink 7 has a sink 70 and a faucet 71. The sink 7 is a facility for washing dishes, food ingredients, etc. The sink 70 is formed with a recess recessed from the upper surface of the countertop 20, and is installed in an opening provided in the countertop 20.

[0013] Dishwasher 4 is a built-in type, and main body 41 of dishwasher 4 is placed on the floor. The front is open and a washing tub (not shown) is provided inside housing 44 that constitutes main body 41. Inside the washing tub, a dish basket (not shown) is installed for arranging dishes.

[0014] A plate-shaped front door 47 that closes the front opening of the housing 44 is attached to a front wall 46 of the cleaning tank (not shown). The front door 47 can open and close the front opening of the housing 44 by rotating as shown by arrow B in Fig. 1 around a rotation axis A (see Fig. 1, etc.) that is located at the bottom of the front door 47 and points horizontally. For this reason, a space 411 (see Fig. 3) is formed in the bottom of the device body 41 so that the bottom of the front door 47 can fit in when the front door 47 is opened or closed.

[0015] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, a riser member 50 having a foot decorative material 51 is provided in the lower part of the device body 41, in a section located below the lower edge of the plate-shaped front door section 47. The riser member 50 is fixed to the riser support section 42 of the device body 41, and has the foot decorative material 51, a decorative material fixing section 52, a fixed section 53, an optional panel 54, and a cushioning member 56. The decorative material fixing section 52 and the fixed section 53 constitute a decorative material support member.

[0016] As shown in Figure 4, the riser support 42 has a horizontal section 421 that extends horizontally and a vertical section 422 that extends vertically upward from the rear end of the horizontal section 421. The vertical section 422 is fixed to the front end surface of the lower end of the device body 41. A fixed section 53 is fixed to the vertical section 422. This fixes the riser member 50 to the device body 41.

[0017] Fixed part 53 is made of a metal plate bent into an L-shape when viewed from the side, and has a horizontal part 5311 extending horizontally and a vertical part 5312 extending vertically upward from the rear end of horizontal part 5311. Vertical part 5312 is fixed to vertical part 422 of riser support 42 with bolt 533, so that fixed part 53 is fixed to riser support 42, and thereby to device main body 41.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 3, the vertical portion 5312 has a through-hole, i.e., an elongated hole 5315. The elongated hole 5315 is formed in the center of the vertical portion 5312 in the left-right and up-down directions, and extends in the up-down direction. A bolt 533 passes through the elongated hole 5315, and the vertical portion 5312 is fixed to the vertical portion 422. The position of the vertical portion 5312 relative to the vertical portion 422 can be adjusted in the up-down direction by loosening the bolt 533, within the range in which the bolt 533 can move relatively within the elongated hole 5315. This allows the fixed portion 53 and the riser member 50 to move in the up-down direction relative to the device body 41.

[0019] A decorative material fixing part 52, which is formed as a separate part independent of the fixed part 53, is fixed to the horizontal part 5311. The decorative material fixing part 52 is formed from a metal plate bent into an L-shape when viewed from the side, and has a horizontal part 5211 extending horizontally and a vertical part 5212 extending vertically downward from the front end of the horizontal part 5211. The horizontal part 5211 is fixed to the horizontal part 5311 of the fixed part 53 with a bolt 523, thereby fixing the decorative material fixing part 52 to the fixed part 53. The lower end of the vertical part 5212 is folded back toward the rear.

[0020] A buffer member 56 is provided on the lower surface of the lower end of the vertical portion 5212 that is folded back toward the rear. The buffer member 56 is made of an elastically deformable material such as a sponge, and is provided to cover the entire lower surface, so that it is always in contact with the floor. This prevents the lower end of the vertical portion 5212 of the decorative material fixing portion 52 from directly contacting the floor.

[0021] 4 and other figures, the side end of the vertical portion 5212 has a plate-like portion 5213 that is folded back toward the rear in the depth direction of the device body 41. The plate-like portion 5213 extends in the depth direction (rear direction) of the device body 41, and prevents the rear side of the vertical portion 5212 from being seen from the side by a user of the system kitchen 1.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, the horizontal portion 5211 has elongated holes 5215, which are through-holes. One elongated hole 5215 is formed near each end of the horizontal portion 5211 in the left-right direction, and the elongated holes 5215 are formed in the center of the horizontal portion 5211 in the front-rear direction, extending in the front-rear direction, which is the depth direction of the device main body 41. As shown in Fig. 3, a bolt 523 passes through the elongated hole 5215, and the horizontal portion 5211 is fixed to the horizontal portion 5311. The position of the horizontal portion 5211 relative to the horizontal portion 5311 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction by loosening the bolt 523 within the range in which the bolt 523 can move relatively within the elongated hole 5215. This allows the decorative material fixing portion 52 to move in the front-rear direction, which is the depth direction of the device main body 41, relative to the fixed portion 53 and the device main body 41.

[0023] As shown in Figure 6, the foot decorative material 51 is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped plate-like member. A half-cut hole 513 is formed in the rear surface 511 of the foot decorative material 51. As shown in the cross section in Figure 6, the half-cut hole 513 is recessed from the rear surface 511 of the foot decorative material 51 forward, halfway through the thickness of the foot decorative material 51 in the front-to-rear direction, and does not pass through the foot decorative material 51. The tip of a bolt that passes through the vertical portion 5212 of the decorative material fixing portion 52 is inserted and screwed into the half-cut hole 513. This secures the foot decorative material 51 to the vertical portion 5212 of the decorative material fixing portion 52.

[0024] With this configuration, the foot decorative material 51 is fixed to the decorative material fixing portion 52, and the decorative material fixing portion 52 is fixed to the fixed portion 53, which is fixed to the riser support portion 42 of the device body 41, so that the fixed portion 53 fixed to the device body 41 is positioned further back (rear) in the depth direction of the device body 41 than the front of the foot decorative material 51. In other words, the riser member 50 is fixed to the device body 41 further back (rear) in the depth direction of the device body 41 than the front of the foot decorative material 51.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 4 etc., an optional panel 54 is fixed to the underside of the foot decorative material 51. The upper part of the optional panel 54 is fixed to the underside of the foot decorative material 51. The optional panel 54 extends downward from the front end of the upper part of the optional panel 54, and the lower end part of the optional panel 54 is curved rearward.

[0026] This embodiment offers the following advantages. The riser 50 has a fixed portion 53 that is located further back in the depth direction of the device body 41 than the front surface of the foot decorative material 51 and is fixed to the device body 41, and the fixed portion 53 is vertically movable relative to the device body 41. This makes it possible to align the vertical position of the riser 50 with the foot decorative material of other adjacent built-in appliances. Because the fixed portion 53 is located further back in the depth direction of the device body 41 than the front surface of the foot decorative material 51, it is possible to configure the riser 50 so that screw holes, bolts, etc. used to fix the riser 50 to the device body 41 are not visible to the user. This enhances the design.

[0027] According to this embodiment, riser member 50 has a decorative material support member (decorative material fixing portion 52 and fixing portion 53) that has a fixing portion 53 and is fixed to foot decorative material 51. This allows the foot decorative material 51 to be fixed to device body 41 via the decorative material support member.

[0028] According to this embodiment, fixed portion 53 is formed with elongated hole 5315 extending in the vertical direction, and bolt 533 passes through elongated hole 5315 to fix fixed portion 53 to device body 41. This allows riser 50 to be finely adjusted in the vertical direction relative to device body 41 within the range in which bolt 533 can move relatively within elongated hole 5315.

[0029] According to this embodiment, the decorative material support member has a decorative material fixing portion 52 that fixes the foot decorative material 51, and the decorative material fixing portion 52 is movable in the depth direction (front-to-back direction) relative to the fixed portion 53. This makes it possible to align the depth direction (front-to-back direction) position with the foot decorative material of other adjacent built-in equipment.

[0030] According to this embodiment, decorative material fixing part 52 is formed with elongated hole 5215 extending in the depth direction, and bolt 523 passes through elongated hole 5215 to fix decorative material fixing part 52 to fixed part 53. This allows fine adjustment of riser 50 in the front-to-rear direction relative to device body 41 within the range in which bolt 523 can move relatively within elongated hole 5215.

[0031] According to this embodiment, the fixed portion 53 and the decorative material fixing portion 52 are configured as separate, independent components. This makes it possible to realize a configuration in which the foot decorative material 51 can be moved up and down and back and forth relative to the device body 41 in the decorative material support member configured by the fixed portion 53 and the decorative material fixing portion 52.

[0032] According to this embodiment, the side of the decorative material fixing portion 52 has a plate-like portion 5213 extending in the depth direction. This prevents the rear side of the vertical portion 5212 from being visible to a user of the system kitchen 1 from the side.

[0033] According to this embodiment, half-cut holes 513 recessed toward the front are formed on the surface (rear surface 511) behind the front surface of foot decorative material 51, and bolts that pass through decorative material fixing parts 52 are inserted into half-cut holes 513 to fix foot decorative material 51 to decorative material fixing parts 52. This makes it possible to prevent the bolts from being visible on the front surface of foot decorative material 51 and to prevent blind caps or the like that are used to hide the bolts from being visible on the front surface of foot decorative material 51, thereby improving the design.

[0034] According to this embodiment, an optional panel 54 extending downward from the foot decorative material 51 is fixed to the lower part of the foot decorative material 51. This makes it possible to provide the optional panel 54 on the foot decorative material 51 as needed.

[0035] According to this embodiment, a buffer member 56 is provided at the bottom of the decorative material fixing part 52 to prevent the decorative material fixing part 52 from directly contacting the floor. This prevents the lower end of 5212 of the decorative material fixing part 52 from directly contacting the floor.

[0036] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes modifications and improvements that achieve the object of the present disclosure. For example, the configuration of the riser member is not limited to the configuration of riser member 50 in this embodiment.

[0037] For example, the half-cut holes 513 are formed on the rear surface 511 of the foot decorative material 51, but this is not limiting. For example, instead of the half-cut holes 513, through holes that penetrate the foot decorative material 51 in the front-to-rear direction may be formed.

[0038] For example, the built-in appliance is a dishwasher 4, but is not limited to this. [Explanation of symbols]
