Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a door structure for furniture, and more specifically, to a door structure for furniture that allows the door to be stacked on the outside of a storage box when the door is opened.

With the conventional door structure of this type of furniture, when the door of the storage box is opened, the rails and runners stand out, detracting from the appearance of the storage box, and the stored items may get caught between the rails and runners. In order to avoid this problem, some storage boxes are provided with rails on the outside surface, and a runner that moves along the rails allows the door to overlap the outside surface of the storage box. This type of door structure requires a guide plate that fixes the runner and connects the door and the runner. However, conventionally,
Due to this configuration, there have been problems in that the installation work when connecting the guide plate to the door is troublesome, and that the door does not fit well into the opening of the storage box.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and its purpose is to align the door with the storage box after installing the guide plate on the storage box, and to adjust the direction of the door in the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the storage box. The door can be attached to the storage box by connecting it to the guide plate while positioning, and the door can be easily aligned with the front of the storage box when the door is closed while the door is still attached to the storage box. To provide furniture door structure.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on embodiments shown in the figures. The door structure of the furniture according to the present invention includes a storage box 1 whose front side is open, a door 2 that closes the front side of the storage box 1, and a door that is locked in a rail 3 arranged on the outer surface of the storage box 1. A runner 12 that moves back and forth along the rail 3, and a guide plate 4 that is fixed to the runner 12 and moves back and forth along the rail 3 together with the runner 12 on the outer surface of the storage box 1.
The front end of the guide plate 4 and the side end of the door 2 are pivotally connected, and when the guide plate 4 moves to the front end of the rail 3, the door 2 is placed in a position where it closes the opening of the storage box 1 and a position where it opens. A hinge 5 is provided between the front end of the rail 3 so that the door 2 can be opened and closed freely between the front end of the rail 3, and a hinge 5 that allows the door 2 to be housed on the outer surface of the storage box 1 substantially parallel to the outer surface when the guide plate 4 moves to the rear end of the rail 3. A front stopper 20 for stopping the runner 12 in the rail 3 is disposed so as to be movable back and forth, and the front stopper 20 is positioned at an arbitrary position on the front end of the rail 3 by an adjustment screw 22. This embodiment shows an example in which the left and right sides of the front surface of the storage box 1 are covered with two doors 2, 2. Three rails 3 running in the front-rear direction are attached to the outer surfaces of the left and right side plates 7, 7 of the storage box 1, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, this rail 3 is formed into a substantially U-shaped cross section with one side open, and is fixed to the side plate 7 by mounting pieces 9 formed at both front and rear ends. A runner 12 is attached to the rail 3 and includes a wheel 10 that moves back and forth along the rail 3 and a substrate 11 that supports the wheel 10 on the outside of the rail 3. The guide plates 4 have a vertically elongated shape with approximately the same height as the door 2, and are fixed to the base plate 11 of the runner 12 with screws, etc., and are disposed on both the left and right sides of the storage box 1, respectively, and extend in the front and back direction along the rail 3. It is movable. Each door 2 is pivotally connected at its side end to the front end of a guide plate 4 by a hinge 5, and when the guide plate 4 moves to the front end of the rail 3, as shown in FIG. By rotating around the pivot point with 4 as a fulcrum, the front opening of the storage box 1 is closed, and as shown in FIG. 2b,
Open the door 2 in this position and remove the side plate 7 of the storage box 1.
When parallel to the rail 3 along with the guide plate 4
The door 2 can be moved rearward along the storage box 1, and the door 2 can be moved to the side of the storage box 1 as shown in FIG. 2c. As shown in FIG.
and a hinge receiver 15 attached to the guide plate 4, each of which is attached at a vertically shifted position with respect to the rail 3. The hinge body 14 is composed of a plate 16 fixed to the back surface of the door 2 and an arm 17 whose one end is pivoted to the plate 16. This arm 17 is fixed with a screw into the recess 18 of the hinge receiver 15 fixed to the guide plate 4. By adjusting the connection position between the arm 17 and the convex portion 18, the relative position between the door 2 and the guide plate 4 can be adjusted along the front and rear, left and right, and up and down directions of the guide plate 4, respectively. It can be adjusted independently. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, this hinge body 14 is fixed to the back surface of the door 2 at a position shifted inward from the side edge, and as a result, as shown in FIGS. When the door 2 is closed, the side edge of the door 2 protrudes outward from the storage box 1, and this protruding side edge 6
This covers the rail 3, guide plate 4, and hinge 5 to prevent these members from being exposed on the front surface of the storage box 1. Incidentally, stoppers 20 and 21 are provided at both front and rear ends of each rail 3 to prevent the runner 12 from coming off, respectively, and the front stopper 20 disposed at the front end of the rail 3 is movable back and forth along the rail 3. That is, the front stopper 20 is connected to the tip of an adjustment screw 22 whose head protrudes from the front end surface of the rail 3.
By rotating the guide plate 4, the front and rear positions of the front stopper 20 are changed, and the guide plate 4 interlocks with the runner 12.
Adjust the amount of forward movement. By the way, in order to attach the door 2 to the storage box 1, first, the guide plate 4 is attached to the rail 3 by the runner 12, and then the door 2 is connected to this guide plate 4 by the hinge 5. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6b, by loosening the adjustment screw 22 and pulling the guide plate 4 forward as far as possible, the door 2 can be adjusted vertically and horizontally to match the opening of the storage box 1. It can be attached to the guide plate 4, and after the door 2 is attached, the stopping position of the guide plate 4 at the front end of the rail 3 can be adjusted by tightening the adjustment screw 22, as shown in FIG. The door 2 can be adjusted to a position such that it comes into contact with the front surface of the storage box 1 when the door 2 is closed, and the door 2 can be easily aligned with the front surface of the storage box when the door 2 is closed.
In addition, if it is necessary to make fine adjustments to the position of the door 2 after installing the door 2, as shown in FIG. 17 and the convex portion 18 may be adjusted.

As described above, in the present invention, a front stopper that stops a runner moving in the front-rear direction within the rail is arranged so as to be movable back and forth at the front end of the rail, and this front stopper is adjusted by an adjustment screw to adjust the front end of the rail. It can be positioned at any position, so after attaching the guide plate to the rail with the runner, when connecting the door to the guide plate with the hinge, loosen the adjustment screw and pull the guide plate all the way forward. This allows the hinge connection part of the guide plate with the door to be located at an easy position for installation work, making it easy to install the door.Furthermore, by tightening the adjustment screw after installing the door, the rail of the guide plate can be adjusted easily. The stopping position at the front end can be adjusted to a position where the door comes into contact with the front surface of the storage box when the door is closed, and the effect of easily adjusting the fitting of the door on the front surface of the storage box is achieved.
