Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipe cover member that is placed across the bottom panel and back panel of the cabinet body inside a kitchen cabinet installed on the floor under the sink, a mounting method for the same, and a beam cover member. [Background technology]

[0002] In a kitchen cabinet equipped with a sink, the water supply and drainage pipes for the sink are introduced into the kitchen cabinet, passed under the kitchen cabinet, and then led out from the bottom of the kitchen cabinet to below the floor.

[0003] In this case, since water supply and drainage pipes pass through the interior of the kitchen cabinet under the sink, it has been proposed to separate the storage space under the sink from the space in which the water supply and drainage pipes are installed by installing a connecting member (pipe cover member) to cover the water supply and drainage pipes at the rear bottom of the kitchen cabinet (Patent Documents 1 to 7).

[0004] The connecting member (piping cover member) is generally an L-shaped cross-section member that forms a step on the rear side of the bottom of the kitchen cabinet to cover the piping location of the water supply and drainage pipes inside the sink, and is attached so as to connect the back panel and bottom panel of the kitchen cabinet.

[0006] When renovating a home and replacing existing kitchen cabinets with new ones, it is necessary to prepare a pipe cover member to cover the location of the water supply and drainage pipes connected to the sink, depending on the location of the pipes inside the sink.

[0007] FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the location of water supply and drainage pipes under a kitchen cabinet sink, viewed from above. The diagram shows the locations of holes in the floor through which water supply and drainage pipes (collectively referring to water supply pipes, hot water supply pipes, and drainage pipes) extend under the kitchen cabinet sink. The location of water supply and drainage pipes (particularly the location of the holes through which the water supply and drainage pipes extend from under the floor to the floor surface) varies depending on the kitchen layout and piping design of each dwelling unit. As shown in the example, the distance from the wall or the back of the kitchen cabinet often varies from dwelling unit to dwelling unit. In FIG. 16(a), the water supply and drainage pipes are located relatively close to the wall (rear), while in FIG. 16(b), the water supply and drainage pipes are located further away from the wall and toward the front compared to FIG. 16(a). When installing kitchen cabinets during renovations, it is not possible to determine the exact location of the pipes in the apartment being renovated until the existing kitchen cabinets have been removed and dismantled, so it is difficult to confirm the location of the pipes in advance before the renovation begins, and in some cases the location of the pipes is only confirmed on site on the day of the renovation.

[0008] To accommodate the various pipe locations of water supply and drainage pipes at a renovation site, it is not practical and would be costly to prepare pipe cover members in sizes and shapes that fit every possible pipe location. Also, if pipe cover members were prepared that occupy the maximum amount of space under the sink to accommodate all the various pipe location patterns, the volume of the storage space under the sink would become relatively small, and there is a risk of dead space being created that cannot be used as storage space.

[0009] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pipe cover member and an installation method thereof, and a beam cover member that can be installed in accordance with different piping positions of water supply and drainage pipes for a kitchen cabinet sink. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the piping cover member of the present invention is a piping cover member that is placed inside a kitchen cabinet having a cabinet main body that is placed on the floor surface and a sink that is installed on the upper surface of the cabinet main body, spanning the bottom panel and back panel of the cabinet main body, and is provided with a plate-like member that is bent by a bending process to form a stepped shape at the front and rear sides of the kitchen cabinet, with the rear side being higher, and the plate-like member is installed so that water supply and drainage pipes extending from the floor surface to the sink pass through a space formed between the upper surface of the step in the stepped shape and the floor surface, and the portion of the plate-like member that is bent by the bending process can be changed depending on the piping position of the water supply and drainage pipes on the floor surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the method for installing a piping member of the present invention is a method for installing a piping cover member that is placed across the bottom panel and back panel of a kitchen cabinet having a cabinet main body that is placed on the floor surface and a sink that is installed on the upper surface of the cabinet main body, and is characterized in that it includes a forming step of bending a plate-like member to form a stepped shape on the plate-like member that is higher on the front and rear sides of the kitchen cabinet, and an installation step of attaching the plate-like member so that water supply and drainage pipes extending from the floor surface to the sink pass through a space provided between the step upper surface of the stepped shape and the floor surface, and in the forming step, the portion of the plate-like member that is bent by the bending process is changed depending on the piping position of the water supply and drainage pipes on the floor surface.

[0012] For example, the plate-shaped member is bent forward of the position where the water supply and drainage pipe penetrates the floor surface. Preferably, the plate-shaped member is attached so that the front end of the lower step surface of the stepped member abuts the end surface of the bottom panel of the kitchen cabinet, and the rear end of the upper step surface abuts the back panel of the kitchen cabinet. In this case, the front end of the plate-shaped member may be bent vertically to form a front abutment surface that abuts the end surface of the bottom panel, and the rear end of the plate-shaped member may be bent vertically to form a rear abutment surface that abuts the inner surface of the back panel. The plate-shaped member may be, for example, plastic cardboard.

[0010] In addition, when the kitchen cabinet has another cabinet body connected to the cabinet body and installed on the floor surface, the plate-shaped member is installed so that the water supply and drainage pipes extending on the floor surface pass through a space formed between the upper step surface of the step shape and the floor surface, and is arranged across the bottom panel and back panel of the other cabinet body. The beam cover member of the present invention is a beam cover member arranged across the top panel and back panel of a hanging cupboard attached to a ceiling surface and a wall surface, the beam cover member comprising a plate-shaped member bent by bending to form a step shape with the front and back sides of the hanging cupboard being lower at the back side, the plate-shaped member being installed so that a beam extending from the ceiling surface and the wall surface and extending along the ceiling surface and the wall surface passes through a space formed between the lower step surface of the step shape and the ceiling surface, and the plate-shaped member is bent in a manner that can be changed depending on the position of the beam extending from the ceiling surface and the wall surface. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the pipe cover member and its installation method of the present invention, at a kitchen cabinet renovation site, the bending position of the plate-shaped member can be flexibly changed depending on the piping position of the water supply and drainage pipes connected to the sink, improving on-site adaptability and allowing the creation of a pipe cover member that maximizes the storage space inside the cabinet body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to specific drawings.

[0016] 1 is a plan view of a kitchen cabinet sink. Sink 12 is installed on the top surface of cabinet body 10. Sink 12 is equipped with a flush faucet 11 connected to a water supply pipe extending from below the sink, and a drain hole 14 is provided in the bottom surface of sink 12 to connect to a drain pipe extending below the sink. Cabinet body 10 is a box-shaped cooking work surface having a front panel 10a including doors and drawer surfaces, a left panel 10b, a right panel 10c, a back panel 10d, and a bottom panel 10e (see FIG. 2).

[0017] 2 is a perspective view showing the surface configuration of the cabinet body 10 of FIG. 1. In FIG. 2, the sink 12 and the front panel 10a are omitted from the illustration, and the surface configuration of the cabinet body 10 is shown. In the cabinet body 10 which forms a box and is installed on the floor, the bottom panel 10e is a relatively short plate whose end in the depth direction does not extend to the depth position where the back panel 10d is erected. The rear panel 10d is also formed of a relatively short plate whose lower end does not reach the height of the mounting surface of the bottom panel 10e, and these short rear panel 10d and bottom panel 10e form an opening 18 at the bottom of the cabinet body 10 in the rear direction.

[0018] The piping cover member in this embodiment of the present invention is a member that is arranged to cover this opening portion 18 and connect the back panel 10d and the bottom panel 10e, and forms a space to cover the water supply and drainage pipes that pass through the opening portion 18.

[0019] Figure 3 is an external oblique view showing a plate-shaped member 3 for constituting a piping cover member in an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the shape of a piping cover member 30 in an embodiment of the present invention formed by bending a plate-shaped member.

[0020] The piping cover member 30 is formed of a single foldable plate-like member 3. The plate-like member 3 is formed of a flexible, foldable material such as wood, synthetic resin, or metal (aluminum, etc.). In particular, the plate-like member 3 can be made of so-called plastic cardboard made of polypropylene, for example.

[0021] At a site where new kitchen cabinets are being installed during kitchen renovation, an installation worker removes the existing kitchen cabinets, exposes the water supply and drainage pipes extending from the floor, and checks the positions of the pipes. The installer then bends the flat plate-like member 3 according to the positions of the pipes, creating a stepped pipe cover member 30. The plate-like member 3 is bent so that the portions to be bent by the bending process can be changed according to the positions of the water supply and drainage pipes.

[0022] The stepped shape of the piping cover member 30 is formed by a horizontal stepped lower surface portion 30a extending toward the depth direction, a vertical surface portion 30b that then bends upward to create height, and a stepped upper surface portion 30c that extends horizontally from the vertical surface portion 30b.

[0023] Preferably, the front end of the step lower surface portion 30a is bent to form a front abutment surface 30d that abuts against the end surface of the bottom panel 10e, forming a vertical surface, and the rear end of the step upper surface portion 30c is bent to form a rear abutment surface 30e that abuts against the inner surface of the back panel 10d, forming a vertical surface. In Fig. 4, the front abutment surface 30d and the rear abutment surface 30e are illustrated as being vertical surfaces bent upward, but they may also be bent downward to form vertical surfaces.

[0024] Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the kitchen cabinet in Fig. 1 taken along line AA, showing a state in which a pipe cover member 30 corresponding to a first pipe position is attached. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a schematic view of the pipe cover member 30 shown in Fig. 5. For the sake of explanation, Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate the structure and shape of the pipe cover member using the pipe position of the drain pipe 20 as an example, but the pipe cover member 30 is created so as to cover both a water supply pipe (including a hot water supply pipe) and a drain pipe that are close to each other.

[0025] The piping cover member 30 is bent in a stepped shape in front of the position where the drain pipe 20 penetrates the floor surface so as to secure space 46 for a passage extending along the floor surface 42 from the position where the drain pipe 20 penetrates the hole 44 in the floor surface 42 from under the floor, and is attached to cover the drain pipe 20 extending along the floor surface 42.

[0026] In the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the hole 44 in the floor surface 42 through which the drain pipe 20 passes is provided on the relatively front side (the front panel 10a side) of the cabinet main body 10, so the plate-like member 3 is bent so as to form a stepped upper surface portion 30c which is a relatively long horizontal surface, and the piping cover portion Material 30 is created.

[0027] The pipe cover member 30 is attached by abutting the front contact surface 30d of the pipe cover member 30 against the end surface of the bottom plate 10e so as to fit therewith, and abutting the rear contact surface 30e against the inner surface of the back plate 10d. By utilizing the flexibility of the pipe cover member 30, the front contact surface 30d and the rear contact surface 30e are fitted so as to press against the bottom plate 10e and the back plate 10d on both sides, respectively, and the pipe cover member 30 can be easily fixed without using fixing means such as screws or bolts.

[0028] FIG. 7 illustrates another method for fastening the pipe cover member 30. Instead of bending the front end of the stepped lower surface portion 30a and the rear end of the stepped upper surface portion 30c of the pipe cover member 30, grooves (recesses or notches) 40 may be formed in the bottom plate 10e and the back plate 10d. The front end of the stepped lower surface portion 30a and the rear end of the stepped upper surface portion 30c may be inserted into the corresponding grooves 40 to fasten the pipe cover member 30 to the bottom plate 10e and the back plate 10d. The grooves 40 can be fabricated on-site at the renovation site to fit the size of the pipe cover member 30. The fastening method shown in FIG. 7 also allows the pipe cover member to be fastened with a simple structure without using fastening means such as screws or bolts.

[0029] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the kitchen cabinet in Fig. 1 taken along line AA, showing a state in which a pipe cover member 30 corresponding to the second pipe position is attached. Fig. 9 is a perspective view schematically showing the pipe cover member shown in Fig. 8. As with the above, Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate the structure and shape of the pipe cover member using the pipe position of the water supply and drainage pipe 20 as an example for the sake of explanation, but the pipe cover member 30 is created so as to cover both a water supply pipe (including a hot water supply pipe) and a drainage pipe that are close to each other. The pipe cover member 30 is fixed by the above-mentioned fixing method.

[0030] 8 and 9, as in the examples of Figures 5 and 6, the piping cover member 30 is bent in a stepped shape in front of the position where the drain pipe 20 passes through the floor surface 42 so as to secure a space 46 extending along the floor surface from the position where the drain pipe 20 passes through a hole in the floor surface 42 from under the floor, and is attached to cover the drain pipe 20 extending along the floor surface 42.

[0031] In the example shown in Figures 8 and 9, compared to the examples in Figures 5 and 6, the hole 44 in the floor surface 42 through which the drain pipe 20 passes is located at the back side of the cabinet main body 10, so the piping cover member 30 is created by bending it so as to form a stepped shape having a stepped upper surface portion 30c with a relatively short horizontal length (the length of the stepped lower surface portion 30a is relatively long).

[0032] This allows for a larger storage space under the sink, eliminating dead space that cannot be used as storage space and allowing for maximum effective use of the space under the sink.

[0033] Fig. 10 is a top view of the kitchen cabinet showing the third piping position. Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the kitchen cabinet of Fig. 10 taken along line BB, showing a schematic cross-sectional view of the state in which a piping cover member 30 corresponding to the third piping position is attached. The kitchen cabinet shown in Fig. 10 is configured by connecting three cabinet bodies 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3, with a top plate 10f placed across the three cabinet bodies, a sink 12 installed in the cabinet body 10-1, and a cooking table (gas stove, IH cooking heater, etc.) 16 installed in the cabinet body 10-3. The third piping position corresponds to a so-called horizontal piping, and a drain pipe 20 passes through the left side plate 10b of the cabinet body 10-3 from the side wall surface and runs along the floor surface between the cabinet bodies 10-3 and 10-3. -2, 10-1 are provided inside the sink 10-1 extending laterally (towards the frontage) and further extending upward from a position below the sink 12 to connect to the drain hole 14.

[0034] The plate-like member 3 is bent individually for each cabinet body 10-1, 10-2, 10-3 according to the piping position in the internal region of each cabinet body through which the drain pipe 20 extends, to form a stepped shape that is higher at the front and rear sides of the kitchen cabinet, thereby creating a pipe cover member 30 for each cabinet body. Each pipe cover member 30 is installed so that the drain pipe 20 extending above the floor surface passes through the space formed between the floor surface and the upper surface of the stepped shape, and is disposed across the bottom panel 10e and back panel 10d of each cabinet body. The shape of the pipe cover member 30 (the position of the bent portion) can be optimized for each cabinet body according to the piping position in each cabinet body.

[0035] FIG. 12 is a process flowchart of a method for installing a kitchen cabinet to which a pipe cover member 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached. When carrying out a kitchen renovation to replace an existing kitchen cabinet with a new one, workers prepare a single, unbent plate-like member 3 and bring it to the renovation site. The plate-like member 3 that has been brought in is then cut or otherwise adjusted to fit the installation dimensions. At the renovation site, the adjustment can be performed regardless of the size of the kitchen cabinet (particularly the size of the opening 18 in FIG. 2).

[0036] In the installation work of the kitchen cabinet, first, the existing kitchen cabinet is removed (S100) to expose the piping positions of the water supply and drainage pipes (S102). The worker confirms the layout positions of the water supply and drainage pipes, and at the renovation site, bends the plate-like member 3 to form a stepped shape according to the piping positions, thereby creating the pipe cover member 30 (S104). The bending of the contact surfaces 30d and 30e is also performed at the renovation site.

[0037] A new kitchen cabinet is installed in the location where the existing kitchen cabinet was removed (S106), and after connecting the water supply and drainage pipes, the pipe cover member 30 is attached (S108). As described above, the pipe cover member 30 is attached so as to span both the back panel 10d and the bottom panel 10e of the new kitchen cabinet, with a space 46 provided between them.

[0038] 13A and 13B are perspective views showing examples of shapes of the plate-like portion 3 that can be bent. As shown in Fig. 13A, the plate-like member 3 is a flat plate on which a plurality of bending grooves 50 extending in the bending direction at predetermined intervals are provided in advance on both the front and back surfaces, and is bent along the grooves that correspond to the positions that cover the piping positions of the water supply and drainage pipes.

[0039] The plate-like member 3 may be formed of a plate-like member 3 having a foldable cross-sectional structure, such as a corrugated cardboard structure, as shown in Figures 13(b) and 13(c). For example, as shown in Figure 13(b), the corrugated cardboard plate-like member 3 is a three-layer cross-sectional member formed by bonding together a front liner 52, a rear liner 54, and a truss-structured (corrugated) core (hollow layer) 56 provided therebetween. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 13(c), the corrugated cardboard plate-like member 3 is a three-layer cross-sectional member formed by integrally molding a front liner, a rear liner, and a ribbed core (hollow layer) 58 provided therebetween. The corrugated cardboard plate-like member 3 is preferably plastic cardboard, which can be bent by various processing methods, such as half-cutting, V-cutting, heat creasing, and heat press processing. Plastic cardboard can be bent at any position and is easy to process at renovation sites, making it a particularly suitable material for the pipe cover member 30 of the present invention.

[0040] The plate-shaped member 3 is a flat plate before bending, so it is easy to handle when carrying in and transporting, and the volume and cost of transportation can be reduced. There is no need to manufacture the components individually, and the cost of manufacturing the piping cover components in a factory can be reduced.

[0041] 14 and 15 are diagrams illustrating the use of the pipe cover member 30 of this embodiment in a wall cabinet, with Fig. 14 illustrating a wall cabinet 60 installed in a position where a beam projects, and Fig. 15 being a cross-sectional view showing the pipe cover member 30 as a beam cover member that covers a beam and is placed inside the wall cabinet. The pipe cover member 30 of this embodiment is not limited to use for hiding pipes inside a kitchen cabinet, but can also be placed as a beam cover member inside a wall cabinet 60 that is normally attached to the top of a kitchen cabinet in contact with the ceiling and wall surfaces.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 14, the hanging cupboard 60 is a box-shaped storage shelf having a front panel 60a including the door and drawer surfaces, a left panel (not shown) in contact with the side wall surface, a right panel 60c, a back panel 60d (see Fig. 15), a bottom panel 60e, and a top panel 60f (see Fig. 15) in contact with the ceiling surface. When the hanging cupboard 60 is installed in a position where the beams 70 extending along the side direction (frontage direction) protrude from the ceiling surface and the back wall surface, the piping cover member 30 as a beam cover member is arranged so as to cover the beams extending in the frontage direction inside the hanging cupboard 60.

[0043] The pipe cover member 30 as a beam cover member is produced at the renovation site by removing an existing wall cabinet and then confirming the overhanging position of the beam, and bending the plate-shaped member 3 at the renovation site according to the overhanging position. The plate-shaped member 3 is bent so that the portion to be bent by the bending process can be changed according to the overhanging position of the beam, and the pipe cover member 30 as a beam cover member produced by the bending process is placed inside a newly installed wall cabinet 60. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 , when placed in the wall cabinet 60, the pipe cover member 30 as a beam cover member is bent by the bending process to form a stepped shape with the front and back sides lowered on the back side, and is placed across the top panel 60f and the back panel 60d of the wall cabinet 60 so that the beam 70 passes through a space formed between the step lower surface portion 30a of the stepped shape and the ceiling surface. As in the above embodiment, the piping cover member 30 as a beam cover member is attached by utilizing its flexibility so that the front abutment surface 30d of the piping cover member 30 as a beam cover member abuts against the end surface of the top panel 60f of the hanging cupboard 60 so as to fit into the end surface, and the rear abutment surface 30e abuts against the inner surface of the back panel 60d of the hanging cupboard 60.

[0044] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention also includes design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention, including various modifications and corrections that can be thought of by a person with ordinary knowledge in the field of the present invention.
