Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a storage device having a handle provided on a part of a drawer that can be taken in and out of an opening of a storage device main body, and a latch mechanism for mooring the drawer to the storage device main body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, a latch mechanism is provided at each of the left and right ends of a drawer that is removably stored in the storage space of the storage device main body, and the drawer is moored to the storage device main body by this latch mechanism, such as when an earthquake occurs or furniture is moved. It is considered to prevent a situation in which the drawer is moved unexpectedly. Conventionally, the structure of such a latch mechanism is such that the left and right latch mechanisms are connected via an interlocking mechanism having a rod or the like, and the widthwise center of the end plate constituting the front side of the drawer in order to operate the interlocking mechanism. An operation tab is provided in the section, and the left and right latch mechanisms are synchronously operated via an interlocking mechanism by operating the tab.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, with such a configuration, the position of the pull tab for operation in the storage device is limited, so that the usability may be poor depending on the user's physique and usage conditions. For example, when such a drawer is provided at the corner of the passage, the drawer of such a drawer is located at the center in the width direction of the drawer, and this puller is often housed inside the outer housing. In order to operate the puller, the drawer must be moved to the front of the center in the width direction of the drawer. At this time, it may lead to a psychological burden such as a troublesome person. In addition, in the case of a drawer in which a plurality of stages are stacked, it is often necessary to grasp and operate the puller in a crouched position when operating the puller of the lowermost drawer. In many cases, it is located below the upper edge by a predetermined distance and is operated by putting a hand or finger from below, so it is necessary to position the hand below that much, and open the opening This causes inconvenience such as forcing an unreasonable posture when opening and closing.
[0004]
Furthermore, since an interlocking mechanism for connecting the latch mechanism must be disposed inside the head plate, the number of components inside the head plate is large, the structure is large, and the manufacturing process is likely to be complicated.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention synchronizes a latch mechanism provided at both ends of a puller by operating a puller, and simplifies opening and closing of a drawer irrespective of a user's physique and usage status. It is possible to provide a storage device which can be easily constructed.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the storage device of the present invention is provided with one or a plurality of drawers which can be slid in the depth direction into and out of the opening of the storage device main body, and the upper edge or the lower edge of the end plate constituting the front side of the drawer. And a pair of latch mechanisms for mooring the drawer to the housing main body near both ends of the handle are provided separately, and each latch mechanism is provided via the handle. It is characterized by being connected so as to be able to operate synchronously.
[0007]
With such a configuration, the latch mechanism can be operated synchronously regardless of where the handle is operated, and the handle is provided along the upper edge or the lower edge of the end plate. It is possible to easily and properly draw out and put out the drawer without depending on the user's physique and usage status. That is, as an example, it is possible to reduce the psychological burden by opening and closing the drawer at a position closer to the front without moving to the center of the drawer provided at the corner of the passage, or to stack a plurality of stages. It is possible to provide a handle of the lowermost drawer at the upper edge of the end plate and to operate by putting a hand from above so as to reduce a bending angle. Moreover, since the handle also functions as an interlocking function of the pair of latch mechanisms, there is no need to separately provide a rod for connecting the latch mechanisms inside the end plate, so that the number of parts can be reduced, and the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. It is possible to down. In addition, since a space in which the components are not arranged is formed wider than the conventional one inside the end plate, the space can be opened and effectively used as some space.
[0008]
In order to be able to open and close the opening of the storage device main body by a simpler operation, the mooring state of each latch mechanism may be released by rotating the pull.
[0009]
Further, if the latch mechanism is provided as a unit at both ends of the tab, each latch mechanism can be made relatively compact, and the manufacturing process can be simplified. The accuracy of each latch mechanism can be improved. Further, since it is only necessary to dispose the latch mechanism in pairs near both ends of the tab, the step of adjusting the length of the rod in accordance with the position of the tab when the rod is incorporated and the step of incorporating the rod are included. Since the fitting process is not required, the manufacturing process can be simplified from this point as well.
[0010]
Further, if the latch mechanism is a unit including a lock mechanism for locking the latch mechanism, it is possible to lock the operation of the puller using the lock mechanism with the front opening of the storage space closed. And malfunction can be prevented. Moreover, the engagement structure of the lock mechanism with respect to the latch mechanism can be shared at any position, and the specifications of the lock mechanism can be easily changed and increased without difficulty.
[0011]
As a specific configuration, the latch mechanism is configured such that the first rotation arm rotatable around an axis substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the puller and an axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the puller. A rotatable second rotating arm, a mooring claw supported by the distal end of the first rotating arm and mooring a part of the storage device main body, and a transmission member attached to the tab and transmitting the rotation of the tab to the second rotating arm. And bending and forming the base end and the distal end of the second rotating arm in the vertical direction with respect to the handle, respectively, and applying the base end to a part of the transmission member. The transmission member, the second rotation arm, and the first rotation arm are actuated in conjunction with the rotation of the puller, and the mooring is performed by touching the base end of the first rotation arm bent and formed in a direction substantially parallel to the handle. The ones that can drive the nails are listed It is. With such a structure, as described above, the latch mechanism can be made relatively compact, and when the puller is not operated, since the rotation does not occur, the mooring claws are moored to the storage device body. On the other hand, when the rotation operation of the tab occurs, the rotation operation is transmitted to the second rotation arm and the first rotation arm by the transmission member, and the mooring claw can be released from the mooring state.
[0012]
In addition, the rotary shaft of the tab may be a rotary shaft rotatably supporting the transmission member attached to the tab, and the rotary shaft may be provided so as to be located substantially on the same line near both ends of the tab. For example, even if the latch mechanism is separated, the rotation of the puller can be stabilized only by positioning the rotation axes so as to be substantially on the same line.
[0013]
In such a configuration, a space is provided between the handle and the end plate so that the handle does not interfere with the end plate during the rotation operation of the handle, and a blindfold portion that conceals the space when no operation force is applied to the handle. When the handle is integrally provided, a more stable rotation of the handle can be realized, and the appearance of the storage device at the front upper side is not spoiled in the state where the operating force is not applied to the handle. .
[0014]
In addition, if the tab is formed by extrusion, the tab can be easily formed, and the effect of the above-described simplification of the manufacturing process can be further enhanced.
[0015]
The first rotating arm is connected to an elastic member, and the elastic member acts on the first rotating arm in a direction in which the mooring claw moves toward the mooring portion. In this case, the mooring claw can be securely moored by the mooring portion by the action of the elastic member, so that the drawer can be more stably moored to the housing body.
[0016]
In addition, the end plate is formed by connecting a front frame material opened rearward and a rear frame material opened frontward, and the latch mechanism is provided in a space between the front frame material and the rear frame material. Is arranged, the latch mechanism can be almost completely concealed from the outside by the front frame material and the rear frame material to improve the appearance. In addition, with this configuration, the rear frame member prevents the latch mechanism from touching the contents of the drawer, so that the latch mechanism can be prevented from interfering with the contents of the drawer and malfunctioning.
[0017]
In the present embodiment, the direction toward the user is the front.
[0018]

[0029]
In this embodiment, the unitized latch mechanism 4 is attached to the left and right ends of the drawer 2 as shown in FIG.
[0030]
First, the first rotation arm 41 and the mooring claw 43 are attached to the left and right front ends of the drawer 2 via the first rotation arm attachment 411. Next, the second rotating arm 42 is attached to the drawer 2 via the second rotating arm fixture 421 such that the first rotating arm connecting portion 42a is in contact with the rear of the horizontal portion 41a of the first rotating arm 41. . Then, the transmitting member 44 is attached to the pull tab 3 such that the lower end portion thereof is in front of the transmitting member connecting portion 42b of the second rotating arm 42.
[0031]
Next, the operation of the storage device S having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0032]
First, in a state where the drawer 2 is stored in the storage space, when the puller 3 is operated by using the concave portion 31 provided in the puller 3 of the drawer 2, the puller 3 and the upper and lower ends thereof are operated. Each of the transmission members 44 provided integrally with each other performs a rotation operation in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 5 around the transmission member rotation shaft 440 as a fulcrum. Then, in conjunction with the rotation operation, the transmission member connecting portion 42b of the second rotating arm 42 is pushed rearward, the second rotating arm 42 rotates about the main body, and the first rotating arm connecting portion 42a moves forward. Moving. Then, the horizontal portion 41a of the first rotating arm 41 is pushed and moved by the first rotating arm connecting portion 42a, and the first rotating arm 41 rotates around the central axis of the main body. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the mooring claw 43 fixedly attached to the first rotating arm 41 rotates together with the first rotating arm 41 and moves in a direction away from the storage device main body 1 to move the left and right The mooring state of each mooring claw 43 with respect to the mooring portion is simultaneously released. Then, by continuously pulling the drawer 2 toward the user, the drawer 2 slides forward from the storage space, so that articles can be taken in and out of the drawer 2.
[0033]
When the drawer 2 is to be stored in the storage space, the reverse operation may be performed. That is, it is only necessary to slide the drawer 2 and push it into the back. In this state, since the mooring claws 43 are moored to the moored portion, it is possible to reliably prevent the drawer 2 from accidentally moving at the time of an earthquake or moving furniture. In addition, since the torsion coil spring acts on the first rotating arm 41 in a direction in which the mooring claw 43 moves toward the moored portion, the mooring claw 43 is securely attached to the moored portion. Moored. In FIGS. 5 and 9, the front frame member 21a of the end plate 21 of the drawer 2 is shown removed, and the rear frame member 21b is shown by imaginary lines.
[0034]
As described above, in the storage furniture according to the present embodiment, the pulls 3 are provided over substantially the entire area along the upper edge 2a of the end plate 21 constituting the front side of the drawer 2, and both ends of the pull 3 In the vicinity, a pair of latch mechanisms 4 for mooring the drawer 2 to the storage device main body 1 are provided separately, and the respective latch mechanisms 4 are connected via the pulls 3 so as to be synchronously operable. Operation, the latch mechanism 4 can be operated synchronously, regardless of the user's physique and usage conditions (such as when using the lowermost drawer 2 or when using the drawer at the corner of the passage). The drawer 2 can be appropriately slid and moved in and out. Moreover, since the puller 3 also functions as an interlocking function of the pair of latch mechanisms 4, it is not necessary to separately provide a rod for connecting the latch mechanisms 4 inside the drawer 2, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the structure can be reduced. Simplification and cost reduction can be achieved. In addition, since a space in which the components are not disposed is formed wider than that of the related art inside the drawer 2, the space can be opened and effectively used as some space. For example, more sound absorbing material can be inserted inside the end plate. Further, since the space in which the components are not arranged is formed wider than the conventional one, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in forming the punching holes in the front frame member 21a and the rear frame member 21b of the end plate 21.
[0035]
Furthermore, since the mooring state of each of the latch mechanisms 4 is released by the rotation of the handle 3, the drawer 2 can be taken in and out by a simple operation.
[0036]
Further, since the latch mechanism 4 is provided as a unit at both ends of the tab 3, each latch mechanism 4 can be made relatively compact, and the manufacturing process can be simplified. The accuracy of each latch mechanism 4 can be improved. Further, since it is only necessary to dispose the latch mechanism 4 as a pair near both ends of the handle 3, the length adjustment and the fitting process when the rod rod is provided inside the end plate 21 can be omitted. Therefore, the manufacturing process can be simplified.
[0037]
In addition, since a transmission member rotating shaft 440 for rotatably supporting the transmission member 44 integrally attached to the handle 3 is provided so as to be located substantially on the same line near both ends of the handle 3, the latch mechanism 4 is provided. Can be made stable even if the handle 3 is separated.
[0038]
Further, a space S is provided between the tab 3 and the end plate 21 so as to be rotatable so that the tab 3 does not interfere with the edge of the end plate 21, and a blind portion for concealing the space S when the tab 3 is closed. Since the handle 33 is provided integrally with the handle, a more stable rotation of the handle 3 can be realized, and the appearance of the front side of the storage tool S is not impaired in the closed state.
[0039]
Further, since the tab 3 is formed by extrusion molding, the tab 3 can be easily formed, and the effect of the above-described simplification of the manufacturing process can be more effectively enhanced.
[0040]
In addition, since the latch mechanism 4 is disposed between the front frame member 21a and the rear frame member 21b that constitute the end plate 21, the front frame member 21a and the rear frame member 21 are used in a normal use state. With 21b, the latch mechanism 4 can be concealed from the outside to improve the appearance. With this configuration, it is also possible to prevent the latch mechanism 4 from interfering with the contents of the drawer 2 and malfunctioning.
[0041]
Further, unlike the puller of this type of drawer, the puller 3 is arranged to be exposed to the outside along the upper edge 2a of the end plate 21, so that the outer housing is not required. Can be reduced. In addition, since the tab 3 is exposed to the outside, a configuration in which the tab 3 is provided over the entire upper edge 2a of the end plate 21 can be realized.
[0042]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above.
[0043]
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the latch mechanism 4 may be a unit including a lock mechanism 5 for locking the latch mechanism 4. In such a case, the operation of the puller 3 can be locked using the lock mechanism 5 in a state where the front opening of the storage space is closed, and malfunction can be prevented. Moreover, the engagement structure of the lock mechanism 5 with respect to the latch mechanism 4 can be shared at any position, and the specifications of the lock mechanism 5 can be easily changed and increased without difficulty.
[0044]
Further, a transparent or translucent glass may be attached to the end plate. In this case, it is possible to obtain a wide opening through which the storage items stored in the storage space can be visually recognized, and it can be suitably used particularly for a purpose of storing a chemical in the drawer.
[0045]
Further, the rear frame member of the mirror plate may be omitted. Also in this case, the rotary shaft, the first rotary arm mounting tool, and the second rotary arm mounting tool are provided on the front frame member, and the latch mechanism can be operated in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. Although the contents of the above and the latch mechanism may interfere or the latch mechanism may be seen by the user when the drawer is pulled out, the number of parts can be reduced.
[0046]
Then, instead of connecting an elastic member such as a torsion coil spring to the first rotating arm, the mooring claw is formed of a material having elasticity, and the mooring claw itself is pressed against the mooring portion by the elasticity of the mooring claw. You may make it. In this case, substantially the same effect as in the case where the driving means is connected to the first rotating arm by the elastic force of the mooring claw itself can be obtained instead of the action exerted on the mooring claw by the elastic member via the first rotating arm.
[0047]
In addition, the tab may be provided along the lower edge of the head. Even in this case, the puller can be provided substantially or completely along the entire lower edge of the end plate, and it is possible to reduce the psychological burden when operating the drawer provided at the corner of the passage. . Furthermore, if the tab is exposed to the outside and arranged, it is possible to completely follow the entire area of the upper edge. On the other hand, even if the tab does not extend completely along the entire lower edge or upper edge of the end plate, the same effect can be obtained as long as it extends along substantially the entire area.
[0048]
In addition, the specific configuration of each unit is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the latch mechanism can be operated synchronously regardless of where the puller is operated, and the drawer can be easily and appropriately pulled out regardless of the user's physique or usage status. Becomes possible. Moreover, since the puller also functions as an interlocking function of the pair of latch mechanisms, there is no need to separately provide a rod for connecting the latch mechanisms inside the door, so that the number of parts can be reduced, and the structure can be simplified and costs can be reduced. It is possible to provide a storage device that can be downed.
