Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide furniture provided with a lift box which is smoothly lifted and mechanically strong by adopting a simple drawing system based on rails, at low cost. SOLUTION: This furniture is composed of a furniture frame 1 opening the front face and a housing box 2 housed in the furniture frame 1, the housing box 2 is formed so as to be straightly drawn toward the forward oblique downside along with inclined rails 4 and 4 provided on the inner surfaces of side walls 3 and 3 of the furniture frame 1 and further, springs 5 are provided for hauling the housing box 2 obliquely upward along with the inclined rails at all the time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to furniture provided with a storage box which is installed at a high place such as a kitchen and pulled out when necessary.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a lifting box of this type in which a link mechanism (swing arm) and a damper are combined to largely swing forward and downward. However, this known link system has a complicated mechanism, is expensive, and has a disadvantage in strength.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention employs a simple pull-out system using rails without using a complicated link mechanism as in the prior art, so that the lifting and lowering is smooth and the mechanical strength is high. The main purpose is to provide furniture with a lifting box at low cost.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, in the furniture according to the present invention, a furniture frame 1 having an open front surface and a storage box 2 stored in the furniture frame 1 are provided. An ammunition machine 5 is formed so as to be able to be linearly pulled out obliquely downward and forward along the inclined rails 4 provided on the inner surface, and further always indexes the storage box 2 obliquely upward along the inclined rail. Structure.

[0005] The elastic machine 5 may be a coil spring, and may be indexed by a hydraulic or pneumatic pressure or a damper using the spring together.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a furniture according to the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is
A furniture frame 1 having an open front surface and a bottom surface, in which a storage box 2 is stored.
The storage box 2 is formed so as to be able to be pulled out linearly obliquely downward and forward along two upper and lower inclined rails 4 provided on the inner surfaces of the side walls 3 of the furniture frame 1.

As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the inclined rails 4 and 4 shown in this embodiment comprise a fixed rail member 4a and a sliding rail member 4b slidably engaged with each other. The fixed rail member 4a is fixed to the side wall 3 of the furniture frame 1 with screws, and the sliding rail member 4b is
Attached to.

Further, there is provided an elastic machine 5 for constantly indexing the storage box 2 obliquely upward along the inclined rail between the upper and lower rail members 4,4. In the present embodiment, the disconnecting machine 5 is formed by a coil spring as shown in the figure. However, as shown in FIG. 5, it may be indexed by hydraulic pressure, air pressure, or a damper using a spring in combination. The indexing force of the cutter 5 varies depending on the total weight of the storage box 2 including the stored articles. For example, if the maximum weight is 20 kg, the box stops at its lower position by its own weight when the box is pulled out with the maximum weight. It is better to set it so that it can be lifted by adding only 2 to 3 kg when returning. Although not shown, it is preferable to provide a catch for temporarily holding the box at each position when the storage box 2 is stored and when the storage box 2 is pulled out. Reference numeral 6 denotes a handle used when pulling out the storage box 2.

[0009] The above furniture is usually like a kitchen bag,
The handle 6 is used by being attached to a wall A at a high position within a reachable range. At the time of use, the handle 6 may be pulled out and pulled out of the storage box 2, and after storing the article in the box, it may be lightly pushed back. When nothing is stored inside, the indexing force of the ammunition 5 exceeds the own weight of the storage box 2 and attempts to return to the ascending direction. However, as described above, a catch or the like is provided to temporarily pull out the posture. Just keep it.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. For example, in the case of a lightweight storage box, the rail 4 described above may be formed in one step. The structure of the inclined rail 4 may be a combination of a channel-shaped rail and a roller. In addition, the present invention can be carried out by appropriately modifying it within the scope having the constituent features, achieving the object of the present invention, and achieving the following effects.

[0011]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the storage box can be moved up and down linearly and smoothly along the inclined rail without using a complicated link mechanism as in the prior art. In addition, there is an excellent effect that the structure is extremely simple and can be manufactured at low cost, and furthermore, it is mechanically robust and has no trouble.
