DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for mounting a tray for organizing small items such as stationery in a drawer such as a desk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as shown in FIG.
(01) may be mounted by forming a tray holding section by a partition member (03) facing the left and right mounted on the drawer (02), or a tray provided on the drawer (04) as shown in FIG. With the engagement between the hole (05) serving as the locking portion and the projection (07) serving as the engaging portion provided on the tray (06), the drawer (04)
Was attached to.

[0003]

In any case, the above-mentioned conventional mounting means has a drawback that some processing must be performed on the drawer (02) (04) side in order to mount the tray. Was. Furthermore, since the inside dimensions of the drawers (02) and (04) are slightly different due to differences in the type of desk, etc., the conventional mounting means cannot adapt to the slight inside differences, and the tray (01) ( Since 06) cannot be mounted immovably without fail, there is also a drawback that a plurality of types of trays must be made to fit various drawer sizes.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a drawer tray mounting device which does not require processing on the drawer side and can be mounted even if there is a certain internal difference in the drawer. is there.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problem is solved as follows. (1) At least one side edge of the tray is provided with a resiliently deformable tongue whose free end is located outside the outer end of the tray, and the free end of the tongue is drawn to one inner wall of the drawer. The tray is pressed into the drawer by pressing the tray against the other inner wall of the drawer facing the drawer.

(2) In the above item (1), the tray extends over the entire depth of the drawer, and a tongue piece is provided at the rear end of the tray.

(3) In the above item (1) or (2), a tongue piece is provided on a side surface of the tray.

(3) In any one of the above items (1) to (3), the tongue piece is an elastic member bent in a V-shape.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when the tray is dropped from the top of the drawer, the tongue provided at the side end of the tray elastically deforms and abuts on the inner wall of the drawer, and the tray is left as it is.
It is attached so that it does not move easily.

[0010]

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a tray (1) embodying the present invention. The tray (1) is mounted over the entire depth of the drawer of the office desk.
The rear end portion (2) of the tray (1) is provided with two concave portions (3). The concave portions (3) have elastically deformable tongue pieces (4) bent in a V-shape. But its free end (5) is the tray (1)
It is attached so as to be located outside the outer end of the rear end (2). This state is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
This is best shown in FIG. 3, which is an enlarged view along the line III.

As shown in FIG. 3, the free end (5) of the V-shaped elastically deformable tongue (4) is connected to the rear end (2) of the tray (1).
It protrudes more by a distance a. The tray (1) having such a tongue piece (4) is drawn out by an imaginary line in FIG.
(6) When dropped from above, the tongue (4) is elastically deformed and the inner surface of the rear end wall (7) of the drawer (1) and the outer surface of the rear end (2) of the tray are moved. At this time, the tray (1) is pressed toward the opposite inner wall of the drawer (6) by the elastic action of the tongue piece (4), and the tray (1) is placed in the drawer (6). It is mounted so that it does not move easily. In this case, even if there is some difference in the inner dimensions of the drawer (6), the tray (1) can be mounted because the tongue piece (4) has room for elastic deformation within the range of the distance a.

The drawer (6) does not require processing for mounting the tray (1). However, if a downward step is formed on the inner wall of the drawer (6), a tongue ( 4) Free end
(5) is caught and mounting is more reliable.

In the above embodiment, the tray (1) extends over the depth of the drawer, and the tongue (4)
Is provided, and it is pressed in the front-rear direction.
It is also possible to provide a tongue piece at the side edge of (1) and press it in the left-right direction. In this case, the depth of the tray can be set regardless of the depth of the drawer.

[0015]

When the tray is dropped into the drawer from above, the tongue is elastically deformed to fit in the clearance between the inner wall of the drawer and the outer surface of the tray. At this time, the tray is pulled out by the elastic deformation of the tongue. Is pressed toward the opposite inner wall side of the tray, and the tray is securely mounted in the drawer so as not to move easily. Since the tray is pressed in the direction between the opposing inner walls, even if there is a gap between the tray and the drawer side wall in the direction perpendicular to the inner wall, the tray does not move much. Also, as long as the tongue piece is within the range of elastic deformation, the internal size difference of the drawer can be absorbed, so the internal size of the drawer is not limited, and processing on the drawer side is unnecessary, so multiple types of drawers can be used. This tray can be mounted in common.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the tray extends over the entire depth of the drawer and a tongue piece is provided at the rear end of the tray, the tray is pressed and mounted in the front-rear direction of the drawer. , Never move unintentionally.

When the tongue is provided on the side surface of the tray as in the third aspect of the invention, the tray can be mounted on the drawer regardless of the depth of the tray.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the tongue piece is
When the elastic member is bent in a letter shape, the tray can be smoothly mounted on the drawer.
