TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a trolley used for a cabinet such as a vanity table.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 10, a conventional wheel base for increasing the height of a cabinet such as a vanity table is composed of at least four parts: a front plate, a rear plate, and a pair of side plates abutting on both side ends thereof. Things are common.
In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 5-293020 describes that the work of attaching the cabinet to the trolley is simple and has good workability, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 10-99151 describes that the dimensional adjustment to the cabinet is easy, and the water resistance of the trolley is improved. Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 9-10049 and the like disclose this.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above prior art, the upper surface of a pair of left and right side plates of the pedestal is in contact with the lower end of the side plate of the cabinet to support the weight.
In this method, a step generated between the mounted cabinet side plate and the pedestal side plate may impair the aesthetic appearance, and high dimensional accuracy of the pedestal and careful alignment at the time of construction are required.
[0004]
In the structure of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-293020, careful alignment is not required, and mounting of the trolley is simplified. However, it is necessary to provide an assortment of trolleys having a dedicated width corresponding to the width of the cabinet to be mounted.
Further, in addition to the front plate and the rear plate and a pair of side plates abutting on both side end portions thereof, four substantially L-shaped connection metal fittings arranged at each of the four corners, and screws for attaching the connection metal fittings are required. The score has increased.
[0005]
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-99151 discloses a pedestal that can be installed irrespective of the opening size of a cabinet to be mounted. However, in the procedure for forming the undercarriage, installation is time-consuming, such as cutting the wooden left and right frame rods and screwing the front and rear frame rods together with the heads of the legs to the left and right frame rods.
In addition, turning the adjuster bolt in contact with the floor surface to change the height of the extendable leg may damage the floor.
[0006]
Further, when the pedestal is made of a wooden material, there is also a problem that the wooden material absorbs water and causes expansion deformation, and a problem that mold and the like propagate near the wooden material that has absorbed the water.
[0007]
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-10049, since the lower surface of the pedestal is covered and covered with a hard holding material and the holding member is further covered with soft packing, the water resistance is improved.
However, the fixing of the holding material is by screw fixing, and the cabinet cannot be mounted unless the cabinet is once laid or turned over, which is troublesome.
Also, since the adjuster bolt for height adjustment is inside the base wheel, it is very difficult to finely adjust the height after installation.
[0008]
Then, in order to solve the above-mentioned subject, an object of the present invention is to provide a trolley which can be installed irrespective of the size of the frontage of a washstand to be mounted. Further, it is another object of the present invention to provide a wheel base having good water resistance and easy height adjustment.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0009]
In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, in a pedestal installed between a vanity table and a floor, the pedestal has a concave groove for inserting a side plate of the vanity table at least at an upper part, The left and right side plates of the vanity stand are independently attached to each other, so that the side plates of the vanity stand can be inserted and fixed in the grooves.
[0010]
Since the base wheels are separately inserted into the left and right side plates of the vanity stand, the vanity stand can be installed irrespective of the opening size of the vanity stand.
[0011]
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a convex portion is provided at a predetermined interval on the inner surface of the concave groove.
By providing a convex portion on the inner side surface of the concave groove, it becomes possible to press and restrain a cabinet side plate such as a vanity stand, so that it is possible to connect firmly.
In addition, since the convex portions are provided at predetermined intervals, the side plates of the cabinet are partially pressed, and the side plates of the cabinet can be inserted into the concave grooves in the upper portion of the pedestal with a small force.
[0012]
As a preferred aspect of the present invention, at least one or more through holes are formed from the bottom surface of the concave groove of the base wheel to the bottom surface of the base wheel.
Even if water enters the groove of the base ring from the gap between the base ring and the cabinet side plate such as a vanity stand, the water is immediately discharged from the through hole, so that the lower end of the cabinet side plate is always in contact with water. Will not be placed in
Therefore, it is possible to mount even a cabinet made of a woody material that is vulnerable to water.
[0013]
As a preferred mode of the present invention, an adjusting screw is attached to the concave groove bottom face upward and the side of the adjusting screw is exposed from the opening on the side surface of the undercarriage.
Since the side of the adjustment screw is exposed from the pedestal, even after the pedestal is attached to the lower end of the cabinet side plate and the vanity table is installed in a predetermined place, the height of the adjustment screw exposed on the side of the pedestal can be easily adjusted by rotating the adjustment screw exposed on the side of the pedestal. Can be finely adjusted, and the height of the vanity can be easily adjusted.
[0014]
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a notch for fitting the front plate is provided in front of the base wheel.
Since the notch for installing the front plate is provided, it is possible to easily install the front plate on the pedestal by preparing a front plate suitable for the frontage.
[0015]
