And frequently used cooking utensils and seasonings are stored in the drawer 20 other than the kick-in part, which is arranged on the upper side of the drawer of the kitchen cabinet 17 so that the hands can be easily reached and taken out even during cooking. It is usually done. For this reason, the drawer 20 other than the kick-in portions of the kitchen cabinet 17 is located under the work top 7 next to the stove cabinet 15 (hereinafter referred to as “a stove side”) and other than the kick-out portions. Since the drawer 20 (hereinafter referred to as “the drawer 21 on the stove side”) is often used to store items used during cooking, the hands are dirty or clogged during cooking. There is a great demand to be able to withdraw even in the state.

  On the other hand, since the kick-in part drawer 2a needs to bend when the stored item is taken in and out from the drawer, the kick-in part drawer 2a is generally stored with a low usage frequency. For this reason, compared to the drawer 20 other than the kicked-in portion, the cooking utensils and seasonings that are used frequently are less likely to be stored, so that the hand is dirty or the hand is closed during cooking. The desire to be able to get out is not so big.

  As described above, the kitchen cabinet 17 according to the prior art is frequently used, so that it is desired to improve operability, and a thing that is used during cooking is stored, so that it can be pulled out without using a hand. For drawers with a large, it could not be said that it was a convenience.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and among the drawers of the cabinet of the system kitchen, it is frequently used and is required to be pulled out in a situation where the hand is blocked. To provide a kitchen cabinet 17 that is easy to use by making it possible to pull out drawers 20 other than the many kicked portions, in particular the drawer 21 on the stove side, so that the stored items can be easily taken in and out.

The lowermost drawer is more preferably a kick-out drawer 2a that includes the kick-in section 2 in order to increase the storage capacity.

  In the push open drawer 1 used in the present invention, when the front plate 1a of the drawer is pushed to the back side of the cabinet body, the push open drawer 1 pops out in the front direction. Even if the drawer handle cannot be operated by hand, it can be opened with the elbow, knee, buttocks, etc. without using the hand.

  The push-open drawer 1 may have any configuration as long as the push-open drawer 1 can be pushed out by pushing the front plate 1a of the push-open drawer 1, but examples thereof are shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Thus, what consists of the charge main body 4, the extrusion part 4a, and the nail | claw 5 is mentioned. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, these parts have a nail on the horizontal plate 10 inside the back plate 8 of the kitchen cabinet 17 in the back of the push-open drawer 1 with the charging unit main body 4 and the pushing unit 4 a. 5 are respectively attached to the lower end of the back plate 19 of the push-open drawer 1.

For this reason, each time the pushing portion 4a is pushed, the pushing portion 4a is pushed into the charging portion main body 4 against the force of the spring and held by the lock (FIGS. 4 and 9), and when the lock is released, The state (FIGS. 5 and 10) where the holding is released and the spring is popped out by the internal spring force is repeated alternately.

  With this configuration, when the push-open drawer 1 is stored, the pushing portion 4a is pushed into the charging portion main body 4 by the claw 5 pushing the pushing portion 4a (FIGS. 4 and 9). On the other hand, when opening the drawer, by pushing the front plate of the drawer, the claw 5 will push the pushing portion 4a again, so the spring shrunk in the charge portion body 4 is released, and the pushing portion 4a is pushed, Since this pushing part 4a pushes the nail | claw 5, the drawer box 1b is extruded and the push open drawer 1 is open | released (FIG. 5, FIG. 10).

  Of the drawers in the cabinet, the drawers 20 other than the kick-in part do not have to bend when pulling out or putting in / out the stored items. Things are often stored. For this reason, it is desirable to arrange the push-open drawer 1 as the drawer 20 other than the kick-in part. In particular, since the drawer 21 on the stove side is close to the stove, seasonings and cooking utensils necessary for cooking are often stored, and as shown in FIGS. It is desirable to arrange the drawer 1. This makes it possible to draw out drawers that are highly desired to be able to be pulled out even when the hands are dirty or clogged during cooking without using the hands. . From the viewpoint of cost, it is desirable that only the drawer 20 other than the kick-in part or the drawer 21 beside the stove be push-opened, and the drawers at other positions be normal drawers.

  Although the depth of each drawer is not particularly limited, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the storage depth H2 of the kick-out drawer 2a and the storage of the push-open drawer 1 arranged on the upper part thereof It is desirable that the depth H1 is the same depth, or rather the latter is deeper. As a result, the lower end of the front plate 1a of the push-open drawer 1 is about the height of the user's knee, and the upper end of the front plate 1a is about the height of the user's buttocks, elbow or arm. Even if your hands are dirty or your hands are closed due to cooking, etc., push the front plate 1a of the push-open drawer 1 with your knees, hips, elbows, arms, etc. without using your hands. The drawer 1 can be opened.

  Moreover, the height dimension of the plastic grip bottle into which seasonings such as edible oil, soy sauce or sauce are put is about 300 to 330 mm, and the length of the wrap film, kitchen paper, etc. is around 300 mm. For this reason, when the storage depth H1 of the push-open drawer 1 disposed in the upper part of the cabinet is about 350 to 400 mm, it is more preferable that these articles can be stored in an upright state. In addition, it is assumed that the drawer with the above-mentioned storage depth H1 deepened stores containers mainly filled with liquids such as edible oil, soy sauce, or sauce, and considers the cleanability of spilled liquid seasonings, etc. Thus, it is preferable to provide a tray on the bottom surface of the push-open drawer 1.

  As described above, when the storage depth H1 of the push-open drawer 1 is set so that the bottles can be stood up, the inner drawer 3 is provided as shown in FIG. The part or the whole can be used in two stages, and the storage space in the push-open drawer 1 can be used without waste.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a vertically long storage portion 9 is provided between the inside of the front plate 1 a of the push-open drawer 1 and the front of the front plate 3 a of the inner drawer 3 so that bottles can be stood up and stored. Therefore, it is possible to store tall bottles on the front side of the push-open drawer 1, and in other parts, one push-open drawer 1 can be used in two stages. The storage space can be used without waste. Further, since long items such as tall bottles and chopsticks can be stored in an upright state on the front plate 1a side of the push-open drawer 1, it is easy to take out and store them and the usability is improved.

  For storing vertically long articles such as bottles between the front plate 1a of the push-open drawer 1 and the front plate 3a of the inner drawer 3 when the push-open drawer 1 is pulled out and stored. In the case of the kitchen cabinet 17 provided with the vertically long storage unit 9, when the push-open drawer 1 is pulled out, the push-open drawer 1 and the inner drawer 3 are pulled out in conjunction so that the inner drawer 3 can be pulled out in one operation. It is preferable to do this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the magnet receiver 12 and the magnet 11 are attached to the outer side of the back plate 19 of the push-open drawer 1 at the lower end of the inner drawer interlocking plate 6, and the push-open drawer 1 is stored. The magnet receiver 12 and the magnet 11 can be made to stick to each other.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the push-open drawer 1 is pulled out and the article is stored in the back side of the push-open drawer 1, it is possible to save the trouble of releasing the interlock between the push-open drawer 1 and the inner drawer 3. In addition, it is more preferable that the interlock with the inner drawer 3 is automatically released while the push-open drawer 1 is being pulled out. This can be achieved, for example, by making the stroke of the inner drawer 3 shorter than the stroke of the push-open drawer 1.
