【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、収納物に応じて引き出し内を任意に間仕切りできる仕切具に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
何処の家庭にも、キッチンの片隅等に食器類等を収納しておく食器棚やキッチン用小物類を収納しておく引き出し棚等が設置されている。通常、この食器棚には幾つかの引き出しが付設されており、箸、スプーン、フォーク等を始めとして調理や食事に使用する様々な小物類を収納しておくために使用されている。
【０００３】
引き出しに上記小物類をそのまま収納しておくと、引き出しの開閉毎に内部の小物類が四方に散らばって使い勝手が悪いため、小物類を整理してきちんと収納できるように、これら引き出しの内部に木製や合成樹脂製の仕切板が内装されて、予め箱体が区画されているものがある。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、従来の仕切構造は、引き出しの内側壁に設けた溝部に仕切板の端部を嵌め込んで固定したもの、或いは、仕切板を接着剤等で内側壁に固定したもの等、収納したい小物類に応じて仕切板の位置や使用数を変更することができない構造のものが多く、物品収納の自由度が制約を受けて効率的な収納ができないといった不都合があった。
【０００５】
本発明は、このような従来の仕切構造の問題点に鑑みて成されたもので、引き出しの内部を収納物に応じて容易に間仕切りでき、且つ、セット後も仕切の位置や数を自由に変更できる使い勝手の良い引き出し用仕切具を提供することを目的としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち、請求項１に記載の本発明は、引き出しの内部に設けられて、当該引き出し内を区画する仕切具であって、厚み部分に所定の間隔で多数の凹部が連設された板状の仕切材と、当該凹部をラチェット機構の歯形として利用し、前記仕切材同士を直交状態に、且つ、摺動自在に連結する連結部材とを有している。
【０００７】
また、請求項２に記載の本発明は、請求項１に記載の引き出し用仕切具において、前記連結部材は、前記仕切材の端部を挟持する挟持部と、当該仕切材の凹部に嵌合してラチェット機構の係止爪となる凸部を設けたスライド部とを備えて構成されている。
【０００８】
また、請求項３に記載の本発明は、請求項１または請求項２の何れかに記載の引き出し用仕切具において、さらに、前記仕切材の端部を挟持して、当該仕切材を前記引き出しの内側壁に固着するための取付部材を備えて構成されている。
【０００９】
また、請求項４に記載の本発明は、請求項３に記載の引き出し用仕切具において、前記取付部材の下側端部の形状を斜め上向きに形成した。
【００１０】
また、請求項５に記載の本発明は、請求項３または請求項４の何れかに記載の引き出し用仕切具において、前記内側壁に当接する前記取付部材の扁平部に吸着シートを貼着した。
【００１１】
また、請求項６に記載の本発明は、請求項１から請求項５までの何れかに記載の引き出し用仕切具において、前記仕切材として、プラスチック段ボールを用いた。
【００１２】
ここで、前記請求項１および請求項２に記載の構成では、収納品の形状や寸法に合わせ、仕切材の数を変更したり連結部材を適宜スライドさせることで、所望の区画を成すことができるため、収納の自由度は大いに広がり、小物類を効率よく整理・収納することができる。
また、請求項３に記載の構成では、仕切材の長さを引き出しの幅や奥行きに合わせれば、取付部材を用いて仕切材の端部を引き出しの内側壁に固定することができ、仕切材により区画形成された仕切構造を強化できる。また、請求項４に記載の構成では、直角のみならず、鈍角や隅を丸くした引き出しにも対応可能で、この取付部材を用いて、内側壁に仕切材をガタ付き無く固定することができる。また、請求項５に記載の構成では、取付部材の内側壁への着脱が容易に行え、区画の変更が容易となる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図１〜図５に基づいて本発明に係る引き出し用仕切具（以下、単に仕切具という）の第１実施形態を説明する。
ここで、図１は仕切材の外観斜視図、図２は連結部材の外観斜視図、図３は取付部材の外観斜視図、図４は連結部材と取付部材の仕切材への取り付けを示す図、図５は仕切具の使用態様を示す外観斜視図である。
【００１４】
図５に示すように、本実施形態の仕切具は、任意の長を有する複数の仕切材１と、これら仕切材同士を摺動自在に連結するための連結部材２と、仕切材１の端部を引き出し１０の内側壁に固着するための取付部材３とで構成されている。
【００１５】
図１に示すように、前記仕切材１は、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等の合成樹脂製の二枚のライナー４、４の間に同素材の中芯５で仕切られた中空部６を多数連接して成る厚さ４ｍｍ程のプラスチック段ボールであって、予め引き出しの深さに応じた所定の幅（中空部６が延びる方向）に裁断された帯状体である。
【００１６】
元来、プラスチック段ボールは、軽量で、加工性、防湿性、耐水性、断熱性に優れ、且つ、機械的強度も大きいため、一般的には、水産物や鮮魚等の容器、機械部品等の通箱、或いは内装用壁材・床材等の建材等に使用されている。
本発明は、上記素材の性質と、中芯５で仕切られた中空部６を多数連接した段ボールの構造に着目し、これを所望の長さに裁断し、且つ、中空部６を垂直にするようにして仕切材に使用している。
【００１７】
前記連結部材２は合成樹脂製で、図２に示すように、連結する仕切材１の端部が嵌め込まれるＵ字溝で成る前面部の挟持部７と、縁部をＬ形に曲成したスライド部８で構成される。Ｕ字溝の長さは仕切材１の幅と略同じ寸法に設定されており、図４（ｂ）に示すように、上下のスライダー８ａと８ｂの間に被連結仕切板１の上下端部が嵌め込まれる構造である。更に上スライダー８ａに仕切材１の中空部６に嵌合する三角状の凸部９を設け、この凸部９と前記中空部６の仕切（中芯５の端部）とでラチェット機構を構成している。即ち、中空部６の仕切がラチェット機構の歯形として機能し、上スライダー８ａの凸部９がその係止爪として機能する。尚、この凸部９は上下のスライダー８ａ、８ｂの何れか一方、もしくは、双方に設けても良い。
【００１８】
上記構成により、連結部材２は仕切材１に摺動自在に取り付けることができる。そして、この連結部材２の挟持部７に上部開放側より別の仕切材１の端部が嵌め込まれることにより、図４（ａ）に示すように、仕切材同士が直交した形で摺動自在に連結されることになる。また、スライド部８のＬ形状がガイドとなって仕切材１からの脱落が防止できる。
【００１９】
前記取付部材３もまた合成樹脂製で、図３に示すように、前面部に仕切材１の端部が嵌め込まれるＵ字溝状の挟持部１１を有し、且つ、仕切具の組立に際して引き出し１０の内側壁と当接する扁平部１２の裏側には、両面テープ等の接着手段にて吸着シート１３（吸着性を有する可剥性シート）が貼着されている。
【００２０】
この吸着シート１３は、厚さ０．５ｍｍ程度のフィルム状で、耐水性に優れ、且つ、プリント合板やプラスチック化粧合板等に吸着可能であることから、取付部材３をこのような板材を用いた引き出し１０の内側壁へ固着する固着手段として使用できる。固着手段として、この吸着シート１３を用いることにより、別の固着手段であるネジ止めや接着のように引き出しの内側壁を傷つけたり、剥がし跡を残したりしないで簡単に着脱することができる。また、繰り返し付け外しができるので、仕切の変更も可能である。
【００２１】
上記した仕切具の構成部材を用いて引き出し内を区画した一例を図５に示す。この区画例によれば、引き出し１０の横幅に相当する仕切材１（ａ）の端部がそれぞれ取付部材３、３により左右の内側壁に固定されて、区画Ａが形成され、更に、仕切材１（ｂ）の一端が連結部材２により前記仕切材１（ａ）の適所に連結されると共に、他端が取付部材３により正面側の内側壁に固定されて区画Ｂが形成されている。
更に、別の仕切材１（ｃ）の一端が連結部材２により前記仕切材１（ｂ）の適所に連結されると共に、他端が取付部材３により右側の内側壁に固定されて区画Ｃが形成されている。
【００２２】
また、これら仕切材１（ａ）、仕切材１（ｂ）、仕切材１（ｃ）で囲まれた区域が更に仕切材１（ｄ）により区分けされ、区画Ｄおよび区画Ｅが形成されている。尚、仕切材１（ｄ）の連結部材２、２の位置をラチェット機構により摺動すれば、これら区画Ｄと区画Ｅのスペースを任意に調整することができる。
【００２３】
次に図６〜図８に基づいて、引き出し用仕切具の別の実施形態を説明する。
ここで、図６は連結部材の外観斜視図、図７は取付部材の外観斜視図、図８は仕切具の使用態様を示す外観斜視図である。
【００２４】
尚、この実施形態においても、使用する仕切材１は前記第１実施形態と同様のプラスチック段ボール材であって、前記第１実施形態とは連結部材２と取付部材３の形状や構造が相違している。
【００２５】
図６に示す連結部材２も、また、Ｕ字溝で成る前面部の挟持部７と、これに直交するスライド部８とで構成される。Ｕ字溝の長さは仕切材１の幅と略同じ寸法に設定されている。スライド部８は、図２と相違して枠状を成し、斜めに（４５°）にカットされたその一端部が挟持部７の後面部に一体化された構造となっている。
【００２６】
この枠体の上下のスライダー８ａと８ｂの間に被連結仕切板１の上下端部が嵌め込まれる構造であり、更に下スライダー８ｂに仕切材１の中空部６に嵌合する凸部９を設け、この凸部９と前記中空部６の仕切（中芯５の端部）とでラチェット機構を構成している。尚、この凸部９は下スライダー８ｂに設けたが、上スライダー８ａ、もしくは、双方に設けても良い。
【００２７】
上記構成により、連結部材２は仕切材１に摺動自在に取り付けることができる。そして、この連結部材２の挟持部７に上部開放側より別の仕切材１の端部が嵌め込まれることにより、仕切材同士が直交した形で摺動自在に連結されることになる。
【００２８】
この摺動自在の構成は図２の場合と同様であるが、既述したように、この連結部材２は、スライド部８の端部を斜めに（４５°）にカットした平面視Ｌ形であるから、図８に示すように、スライド部８のカット部分同士を付き合わせて用いれば十字形の仕切が可能となり、離して用いれば段差形の仕切りが可能となる。また、スライド部８が枠状であるから、一端、仕切材１に嵌め込めんでしまえば、両側板がガイドとなって不用意に脱落することはない。
【００２９】
取付部材３は、図７に示すように、前面部に仕切材１の端部が嵌め込まれるＵ字溝状の挟持部１１を有し、その側面１１ａの形状は図３の長方形状と相違して下側端部１１ｂが引き出しの隅の丸さを考慮して斜め上向きにカットされた形状とされ、且つ、上部に向かって幅広に形成されている。尚、仕切具の組立に際して引き出し１０の内側壁と当接する扁平部１２の裏側に吸着シート１３が貼着されている点は図３と同様である。
【００３０】
このように、取付部材３の下側端部１１ｂの形状を斜め上向きに形成すると、図５に示した直角型の引き出しだけでなく、隅が丸くなっている引き出しにも対応して内側壁の好適な位置に取り付けることができる。
また、取付部材３の側面１１ａを上部に向かって幾分幅広に形成することにより、底部と側壁が鈍角を成すタイプの引き出し１０に使用した場合でも仕切材１の挟持代を上下部で略一定にすることができ、これにより、仕切材１を確実に挟持・固定できるようになっている。
また、図６、図７に示すように、上記した連結部材２および取付部材３の上部適所には、これら部材をセットする際、上下を分かり易くするために凸状ライン１４、１５を設けてある。凸状であるから、手触りでも上下の確認ができる。
【００３１】
図８に上記した仕切具の構成部材を用いて引き出し内を区画した例を示す。
ここで用いる引き出し１０は、吸着シート１３が吸着し易いプラスチック製の引き出しであって、その隅が丸く形成され、且つ、底部と側壁が鈍角を成すタイプの引き出しである。
【００３２】
この区画例によれば、引き出し１０の横幅に相当する仕切材１（ａ）の端部がそれぞれ取付部材３、３により左右の内側壁に固定されて、区画Ａが形成され、更に、仕切材１（ｂ）の一端が連結部材２により前記仕切材１（ａ）の適所に連結されると共に、他端が取付部材３により後面側の内側壁に固定されて区画Ｂが形成されている。
取付部材３は、下側端部１１ｂの形状が斜め上向きに形成されているから、このような隅が丸い引き出し１０にも仕切板をガタ付き無く簡単に取り付けることができる。この場合、取付部３側に固定される仕切材１（ｂ）の下角部は隅の丸さ（角度）に合わせて予めカットしておく。
【００３３】
また、仕切材１（ａ）、１（ｂ）で囲まれた別の区域が３つの仕切材１（ｃ）、１（ｄ）、１（ｅ）により、更に区域Ｃ、区域Ｄ、区域Ｅ、区域Ｆに区画されている。本図では、区域Ｃと区域Ｄを形成する仕切材１（ｄ）と区域Ｅと区域Ｆを形成する仕切材１（ｅ）は、各連結部材２、２のスライド部８、８をぴったり合わせた十字形の仕切構造となっているが、仕切材１（ｅ）両端の連結部材２、２の位置をラチェット機構により摺動すれば、同図の一点鎖線円内に示すような段差形の仕切構造となり、区域Ｅと区域Ｆのスペースを任意に調整することができる。
【００３４】
以上説明したように、本発明の仕切具では、引き出し１０に収納する小物類の形状、寸法、種類、数量等に応じて帯状の仕切材１を適宜サイズに裁断し、連結部材２や取付部材３を用いて引き出し内を所望の広さと数に区画することができる。仕切材１の素材がプラスチックであるから加工（裁断）は容易である。加えて、仕切具の組立に際し、接着剤や引き出し内の加工等は一切不要であるから、組立・分解は極めて容易に行える。
尚、第１実施形態と第２実施形態の連結部材２と取付部材３を混用できることは勿論である。
【００３５】
また、既述したように、仕切具の構成部材は耐水性に優れているため、汚れが付着した場合は、取り外して水で綺麗に洗浄することができ、且つ、段ボール構造の有する高い剛性により長期に亘り繰り返し使用できるものである。
また、本実施例では、仕切材１としてプラスチック段ボールを使用したが、これに限定されるものではなく、要は、厚み部分に所定の間隔で多数の凹部が連設された板状で、その凹部をラチェット機構の歯形として利用可能で有れば良い。尚、材質は特に問わないが、ウレタン等の合成樹脂製を使用すると好適である。
【００３６】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の仕切具によれば、収納品の形状や寸法に合わせて引き出し内を任意に区画することができるから、物品収納の自由度は大いに広がり、小物類を効率良く整理・収納することができる。特に、取付部材の下側端部の形状を斜め上向きに形成することにより、隅が直角の引き出しだけでなく、鈍角や丸くなっている引き出にも仕切材をガタ付き無く取付ることができる。
【００３７】
また、組立に際し、接着剤や引き出し内の加工等は一切不要であるから、組立・分解は極めて容易に行える。
【００３８】
また、仕切具の構成部材は耐水性に優れているため、汚れが付着した場合は、水で綺麗に洗浄することができ、且つ、段ボール構造の有する高い剛性により長期に亘り繰り返し使用することができる。

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a drawer divider (hereinafter, simply referred to as a divider) according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a partition member, FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of a connecting member, FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of a mounting member, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing attachment of the connecting member and the mounting member to the partition member. FIG. 5 is an external perspective view showing a use mode of the partitioning tool.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 5, the partition member of the present embodiment includes a plurality of partition members 1 having an arbitrary length, a connecting member 2 for connecting these partition members slidably, and an end of the partition member 1. And a mounting member 3 for fixing the portion to the inner side wall of the drawer 10.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 1, the partition member 1 is formed by connecting a large number of hollow portions 6 partitioned by a core 5 of the same material between two liners 4 made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene and polypropylene. It is a plastic corrugated cardboard having a thickness of about 4 mm, and is a band-like body cut in advance to a predetermined width (in the direction in which the hollow portion 6 extends) according to the depth of the drawer.
[0016]
Originally, plastic cardboard is lightweight, excellent in processability, moisture resistance, water resistance, heat insulation, and has high mechanical strength. Therefore, plastic cardboard is generally used for containers of marine products, fresh fish, etc., and mechanical parts. It is used for boxes and building materials such as interior wall materials and floor materials.
The present invention focuses on the properties of the above-mentioned material and the structure of a corrugated cardboard in which a large number of hollow portions 6 partitioned by a core 5 are connected, cuts this into a desired length, and makes the hollow portions 6 vertical. In this way, it is used as a partition material.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting member 2 is made of a synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. It is composed of a slide section 8. The length of the U-shaped groove is set to be substantially the same as the width of the partition member 1. As shown in FIG. 4B, the upper and lower ends of the connected partition plate 1 are located between the upper and lower sliders 8a and 8b. Is fitted. Further, a triangular convex portion 9 fitted to the hollow portion 6 of the partition member 1 is provided on the upper slider 8a, and a ratchet mechanism is constituted by the convex portion 9 and the partition of the hollow portion 6 (end of the core 5). are doing. That is, the partition of the hollow portion 6 functions as a tooth profile of the ratchet mechanism, and the convex portion 9 of the upper slider 8a functions as its locking claw. The projection 9 may be provided on one or both of the upper and lower sliders 8a and 8b.
[0018]
With the above configuration, the connecting member 2 can be slidably attached to the partition member 1. Then, an end of another partition member 1 is fitted into the holding portion 7 of the connecting member 2 from the upper open side, so that the partition members are slidable in an orthogonal shape as shown in FIG. Will be linked to. In addition, the L shape of the slide portion 8 serves as a guide, so that the slide portion 8 can be prevented from falling off from the partition member 1.
[0019]
The mounting member 3 is also made of synthetic resin, and has a U-shaped groove-shaped holding portion 11 into which the end of the partition member 1 is fitted on the front surface as shown in FIG. An adsorbing sheet 13 (adhesive peelable sheet) is adhered to the back side of the flat portion 12 in contact with the inner side wall 10 by an adhesive means such as a double-sided tape.
[0020]
The adsorbing sheet 13 is a film having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, has excellent water resistance, and can be adsorbed on a printed plywood, a plastic decorative plywood, or the like. It can be used as a fixing means for fixing to the inner wall of the drawer 10. By using the suction sheet 13 as the fixing means, the drawer can be easily attached / detached without damaging the inner wall of the drawer or leaving a peeling mark unlike other fixing means such as screwing and bonding. In addition, since it can be repeatedly removed, the partition can be changed.
[0021]
FIG. 5 shows an example in which the inside of the drawer is partitioned using the components of the above-mentioned partitioning tool. According to this section example, the ends of the partition member 1 (a) corresponding to the horizontal width of the drawer 10 are fixed to the left and right inner walls by the mounting members 3 and 3, respectively, to form the section A. One end of 1 (b) is connected to an appropriate position of the partition member 1 (a) by a connecting member 2, and the other end is fixed to an inner wall on the front side by a mounting member 3 to form a section B.
Further, one end of another partition member 1 (c) is connected to an appropriate position of the partition member 1 (b) by a connecting member 2, and the other end is fixed to an inner wall on the right side by a mounting member 3, so that the section C is formed. Is formed.
[0022]
Further, an area surrounded by these partition members 1 (a), 1 (b), and 1 (c) is further divided by a partition member 1 (d), and sections D and E are formed. . If the positions of the connecting members 2 and 2 of the partition member 1 (d) are slid by the ratchet mechanism, the space between the section D and the section E can be arbitrarily adjusted.
[0023]
Next, another embodiment of the drawer divider will be described with reference to FIGS.
Here, FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of the connecting member, FIG. 7 is an external perspective view of the mounting member, and FIG. 8 is an external perspective view showing a use mode of the partitioning tool.
[0024]
Also in this embodiment, the partition member 1 used is the same plastic corrugated cardboard material as in the first embodiment, and the shape and structure of the connecting member 2 and the mounting member 3 are different from those in the first embodiment. ing.
[0025]
The connecting member 2 shown in FIG. 6 also includes a front-side holding portion 7 formed of a U-shaped groove and a slide portion 8 orthogonal to the holding portion. The length of the U-shaped groove is set to be substantially the same as the width of the partition member 1. The slide portion 8 has a frame shape different from that of FIG. 2, and has a structure in which one end portion cut obliquely (45 °) is integrated with the rear surface portion of the holding portion 7.
[0026]
The upper and lower ends of the connected partition plate 1 are fitted between the upper and lower sliders 8a and 8b of the frame, and the lower slider 8b is provided with a convex portion 9 that fits into the hollow portion 6 of the partition member 1. The convex portion 9 and the partition of the hollow portion 6 (the end of the center core 5) constitute a ratchet mechanism. In addition, although this convex part 9 was provided in the lower slider 8b, it may be provided in the upper slider 8a or both.
[0027]
With the above configuration, the connecting member 2 can be slidably attached to the partition member 1. Then, the end of another partition member 1 is fitted into the holding portion 7 of the connecting member 2 from the upper open side, so that the partition members are slidably connected in an orthogonal shape.
[0028]
This slidable configuration is the same as that of FIG. 2, but as described above, this connecting member 2 has an L-shape in plan view in which the end of the slide portion 8 is cut obliquely (45 °). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the cut portions of the slide portion 8 are used together, a cross-shaped partition can be obtained, and when used separately, a step-shaped partition can be obtained. In addition, since the slide portion 8 has a frame shape, if one end is fitted into the partition member 1, the both side plates serve as a guide so that the slide member 8 does not fall off carelessly.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 7, the mounting member 3 has a U-shaped groove-like holding portion 11 into which the end of the partition member 1 is fitted on the front surface, and the shape of the side surface 11a is different from the rectangular shape in FIG. The lower end 11b is cut obliquely upward in consideration of the roundness of the corner of the drawer, and is formed wider toward the upper side. Note that, as shown in FIG. 3, the suction sheet 13 is adhered to the back side of the flat portion 12 which comes into contact with the inner wall of the drawer 10 when assembling the partitioning tool.
[0030]
As described above, when the shape of the lower end portion 11b of the mounting member 3 is formed obliquely upward, not only the right-angled drawer shown in FIG. 5 but also the drawer having a rounded corner can be used. It can be mounted in a suitable position.
Further, by forming the side surface 11a of the mounting member 3 slightly wider toward the upper portion, even when the drawer 10 is of a type in which the bottom portion and the side wall form an obtuse angle, the holding margin of the partition member 1 is substantially constant between the upper and lower portions. Accordingly, the partitioning material 1 can be securely held and fixed.
Also, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, convex lines 14 and 15 are provided at appropriate places above the connecting member 2 and the mounting member 3 so as to make them easy to see up and down when setting these members. is there. Since it is convex, it can be checked up and down by touch.
[0031]
FIG. 8 shows an example in which the inside of the drawer is partitioned by using the constituent members of the partitioning tool described above.
The drawer 10 used here is a drawer made of plastic to which the suction sheet 13 is easily sucked, and has a rounded corner and an obtuse angle between the bottom and the side wall.
[0032]
According to this section example, the ends of the partition member 1 (a) corresponding to the horizontal width of the drawer 10 are fixed to the left and right inner walls by the mounting members 3 and 3, respectively, to form the section A. One end of 1 (b) is connected to a proper position of the partition member 1 (a) by a connecting member 2, and the other end is fixed to an inner wall on the rear side by a mounting member 3 to form a section B.
Since the shape of the lower end portion 11b of the attachment member 3 is formed obliquely upward, the partition plate can be easily attached to such a drawer 10 having a rounded corner without play. In this case, the lower corner of the partition member 1 (b) fixed to the mounting portion 3 side is cut in advance in accordance with the roundness (angle) of the corner.
[0033]
Further, another area surrounded by the partition members 1 (a) and 1 (b) is further divided into three sections C (1), 1 (d) and 1 (e) by the sections C, D and E. , Section F. In this drawing, the partition member 1 (d) forming the section C and the section D and the partition member 1 (e) forming the section E and the section F are fitted with the sliding portions 8 of the connecting members 2 and 2 exactly. The partition member has a cross-shaped partition structure, but if the positions of the connecting members 2 and 2 at both ends of the partition member 1 (e) are slid by a ratchet mechanism, a step-like shape as shown in a dashed-dotted circle in FIG. It becomes a partition structure, and the space of the area E and the area F can be adjusted arbitrarily.
[0034]
As described above, in the partitioning tool of the present invention, the band-shaped partitioning material 1 is cut into an appropriate size according to the shape, size, type, quantity, etc. of the small articles to be stored in the drawer 10, and the connecting member 2 and the mounting member are cut. By using 3, the inside of the drawer can be partitioned into a desired size and number. Processing (cutting) is easy because the material of the partition member 1 is plastic. In addition, when assembling the partitioning tool, no adhesive or processing in the drawer is required at all, so that assembly and disassembly can be performed very easily.
It is needless to say that the connecting member 2 and the mounting member 3 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be mixed.
[0035]
In addition, as described above, since the components of the partitioning tool have excellent water resistance, when the dirt is attached, the components can be removed and cleaned with water, and the high rigidity of the corrugated cardboard structure has It can be used repeatedly over a long period of time.
Further, in the present embodiment, plastic corrugated cardboard was used as the partitioning material 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the point is that it is a plate shape in which a number of concave portions are continuously provided at predetermined intervals in a thickness portion. What is necessary is just to be able to use a concave part as a tooth profile of a ratchet mechanism. The material is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a synthetic resin such as urethane.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the partitioning tool of the present invention, the inside of the drawer can be arbitrarily partitioned according to the shape and dimensions of the stored articles, so that the degree of freedom of article storage is greatly expanded and small items can be efficiently removed. It can be arranged and stored. Particularly, by forming the shape of the lower end portion of the mounting member obliquely upward, the partition member can be attached not only to a drawer with a right angle corner but also to an obtuse or rounded drawer without play. .
[0037]
Further, since no adhesive or processing in the drawer is required at the time of assembling, assembling and disassembling can be performed very easily.
[0038]
In addition, since the constituent members of the divider are excellent in water resistance, when dirt adheres, they can be cleaned cleanly with water, and can be repeatedly used for a long time due to the high rigidity of the cardboard structure. it can.
