8 closes and holds the held portion 39. In this state, even if the finger is removed from the operating section 37, the holding section 38 will not
Continue to hold. After that, when the operating portion 37 is pushed downward again with a finger, the moving member 32 moves downward and the held portion 3
9 presses the holding portion 38. As a result, the holding portion 38 opens to release the holding. Then, the held portion 39 is separated from the holding portion 38, so that the moving member 32 moves the compression spring 70.
Is moved up to the rising end position by the spring force and is positioned by the stopper means 71. In this way, when the operating portion 37 is pressed with the finger, the held portion 39 is held against the holding portion 38.
Can be selectively retained and released.

The latch member 34 is formed integrally (or separately) with the moving member 32 so as to project, and is arranged at the position of the center line CL and above the held portion 39. The hooking member 34 has a shape that protrudes outward (rearward) from the moving member 32 and is bent upward. An inclined surface 44 is formed on the upper end of the end of the hooking member 34,
The height position of the inclined surface 44 gradually increases from the rear to the front. A claw 41 that is bent upward in a hook shape is formed by the inclined surface 44 and the like. Nail 4

The case 47 is formed with a pair of left and right thickness regulating ribs and a pair of left and right width regulating grooves. The moving member 32 is formed with a pair of left and right grooves that engage with the thickness regulating ribs and a pair of left and right ribs that engage with the width regulating grooves. As a result, the moving member 32 can move vertically in a stable state. When the held portion 39 of the moving member 32 is held by the holding portion 38 of the case 47, since the moving member 32 is located below, the claw 41 of the hooking member 34 is separated from the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4. break away. On the other hand, when the held portion 39 separates from the holding portion 38 and the moving member 32 moves to the operation portion 37 side (upward) by the spring force of the compression spring 70, the claw 41 hooks the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4. It can be stopped.

When the main drawer 3 is pushed and stored in the cabinet 2 in a state in which the hooking member 34 is separated from the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4 and the moving member 32 is moved to the operating portion 37 side, the main drawer 3 is placed behind the main drawer 3. The slanted surface 44 of the hooking member 34 is brought into sliding contact with the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4 by the moving operation to. As a result, the latch member 34 is pushed downward by the front plate 36, and the moving member 32 moves downward against the spring force of the compression spring 70. Then, the claw 41 eventually becomes the front plate 3
The rear surface 40 of 6 will be hooked. Since the slanted surface 44 is formed on the latching member 34, the latching member 34 thus latches the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4 in association with the storage operation of the main drawer 3. be able to.
In this case, since it is not necessary to perform an operation for hooking the inner drawer 4 to the main drawer 3, the usability is further improved. A cushion member 49 made of rubber or synthetic resin is attached to the surface of the case 47, and the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4 comes into contact with the cushion member 49.
Since the cushioning member 49 is provided, the collision sound when the front plate 36 abuts on the latching device 5 is attenuated, and the inner drawer 4 is prevented from repelling and separating from the case 47 when abutting.

Next, the operation of the storage device 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the main drawer 3 is stored in the cabinet 2 (FIG. 2) and the inner drawer 4 is hooked on the main drawer 3 by the hooking device 5, the front plate 35 of the main drawer 3 is moved forward. pull.
Then, the main drawer 3 receives the main drawer receiving rail 18
And the main slide member 19 for pulling out, the sheet is moved forward and pulled out as shown by an arrow F1 (see FIG. 3).

As a result, the inner drawer 4 together with the main drawer 3 is also moved forward and pulled out through the inner drawer receiving rail 20 and the inner drawer slide member 21 as shown by arrow F2 (FIG. 3 (A)). ). Thereby, articles can be stored in or taken out from the inner drawer 4. Following this, when the main drawer 3 is desired to be used, the inner drawer 4 above the main drawer 3 becomes an obstacle, so the operating portion 37 is pushed downward with a finger, and the latch member 34 is moved to the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4. Disengage from. Once the holding part 38 holds the held part 39, the moving member 32 is positioned at the lower position even if the finger is removed from the operating part 37. As a result, the inner drawer 4 is separated from the main drawer 3, so that the inner drawer 4 can be pushed and moved backward (FIG. 3 (B)). Therefore, since the inner drawer 4 does not get in the way, articles can be stored in or taken out from the main drawer 3.

After that, when the main drawer 3 is pushed backward, the main drawer 3 is stored in the cabinet 2. When the inner drawer 4 is not stored at the storage position, the inner drawer 4 is pushed by the case 47 on the main drawer 3 side and is housed in the cabinet 2 together with the main drawer 3. In this stored state, the inner drawer 4 is not hooked on the main drawer 3. If the main drawer 3 is pulled forward again in this state, the inner drawer 4 remains in the cabinet 2,
Only the main drawer 3 can be withdrawn. After pulling out the main drawer 3 in this way, if the inner drawer 4 is also desired to be used, the inner drawer 4 can be pulled out by grasping the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4 or the like and pulling it forward.

After using the inner drawer 4, the main drawer 3
When is pushed rearward, the main drawer 3 is housed in the cabinet 2 and at the same time, the inner drawer 4 is also housed by being pushed by the case 47 on the main drawer 3 side. In this state, the moving member 32 is still positioned at the lower position, so that the inner drawer 4 remains separated from the main drawer 3. When it is desired to store the inner drawer 4 in a state of being hooked on the main drawer 3, only the main drawer 3 is pulled out, or both the main drawer 3 and the inner drawer 4 are pulled out, The operation portion 37 is pushed downward, and the held portion 39 releases the held portion 39. Then, the moving member 32 is positioned at the rising end position. When the main drawer 3 is housed in the cabinet 2 in this state, the hooking member 34 interlocks with the housing operation of the main drawer 3 so as to hook the front plate 36 of the inner drawer 4. As a result, the main drawer 3
With the inner drawer 4 hooked, the main drawer 3 and the inner drawer 4 are housed in the cabinet 2.

As described above, in the storage device 30, various articles can be stored in the inner drawer 4 above the main drawer 3 in addition to the main drawer 3. This makes it possible to effectively use the space in the cabinet 2 and increase the storable amount of the article. Further, the inner drawer 4 can be selectively engaged with and disengaged from the main drawer 3 by a locking device 5. Therefore, the article can be stored reasonably and conveniently in the main drawer 3 and the inner drawer 4 depending on the frequency of use, size, shape, etc., and the inner drawer 4 can be provided together with the main drawer 3 or separately. You can choose to withdraw and it is convenient.

In addition, in an existing kitchen furniture having a drawer that does not have an inner drawer, if the inner drawer and the hooking device are added, it can be easily modified to become the storage device of the present invention. Since the latching device 5 is attached to the inside of the main drawer 3 as an additional component, it is not necessary to change the design of the main drawer 3 and the inner drawer 4 when the latching device 5 is provided or not provided. Since the hooking device 5 cannot be seen from the outside of the system kitchen 1, the overall structure is simple and aesthetically pleasing. Since the inner drawer 4 is provided inside the main drawer 3, the number of main drawers 3 provided in the system kitchen 1 can be reduced without degrading the usability. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
