Description

  The present invention relates to a furniture door, and more particularly to a two-sided furniture door.

  For example, as a door used for furniture such as a cabinet or a hanging cabinet, a four-sided furniture door and a two-sided furniture door are known. In a four-sided furniture door, for example, a wooden coffin member has a form in which a central end plate is sandwiched from above and below and from the left and right, and a rectangular relatively strong frame structure is configured by four coffin members.

  On the other hand, in a two-sided fence-type furniture door, for example, a wooden coffin member sandwiches the central end plate from the left and right, and an aluminum cap member sandwiches the end plate from the upper and lower sides. The cap member constitutes a rectangular frame structure having a relatively light appearance.

  For example, in a cabinet or a hanging cupboard to which a furniture door having a mirror plate formed of glass is attached, there is a risk that the stored item will violently hit the glass mirror plate and the mirror plate and the frame may be damaged during an earthquake. In particular, in the case of a two-sided furniture door, the strength of the entire door secured by the end plate and the frame may be greatly damaged by an earthquake.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is for a two-sided furniture having a relatively strong frame structure like a four-way furniture door while maintaining a relatively light appearance. The purpose is to provide a door.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present invention, in a two-sided furniture door,
An end plate placed in the center;
A pair of eaves members for sandwiching the end plate from the left and right to form part of the frame of the end plate;
A pair of cap members for sandwiching the end plate from above and below to constitute a part of the frame of the end plate;
A pair of presser members connected in a substantially horizontal direction between the back surfaces of the pair of flange members at a predetermined height position spaced from the upper and lower ends of the end plate;
The pair of cap members provide a furniture door, wherein the pair of cap members are in contact with the back surface of the end plate to a predetermined height position spaced from the upper end and the lower end of the end plate.

  According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the cap member and the pressing member corresponding to each other are engaged so as to prevent the cap member from being separated from the upper end or the lower end of the end plate. The end plate is preferably made of glass.

  In the two-sided furniture door of the present invention, at a predetermined height position spaced from the upper end and the lower end of the end plate, the pair of pressing members are connected in a substantially horizontal direction between the back surfaces of the pair of flange members. ing. The pair of cap members are in contact with the rear surface of the end plate to a predetermined height position spaced from the upper end and the lower end of the end plate.

  That is, in the present invention, the contact portions on the back side of the pair of cap members are extended, and the pair of cap members are reinforced by the pair of pressing members. As a result, the rigidity of the pair of cap members is enhanced by the extended contact portion on the back side that is not directly exposed to the front, and for example, it is provided so that it is hidden from the extended contact portion on the back side and cannot be seen from the front. The pair of presser members cooperate with the pair of flange members to form another frame structure different from the original frame structure.

  Thus, in the present invention, it is possible to realize a relatively robust frame structure like a four-sided furniture door, while maintaining a relatively light appearance unique to the two-sided furniture door. As a result, even if the stored items collide with the glass head plate at the time of an earthquake and the head plate and the frame are damaged to some extent, the integrity of the head plate and the frame is less likely to be impaired, and the strength of the entire door is consequently reduced. The risk of being greatly damaged by an earthquake is reduced.

  In the present invention, by adopting a configuration in which the cap member and the pressing member corresponding to each other are engaged so as to prevent the cap member from being separated from the upper end or the lower end of the end plate, the end plate is made of, for example, glass at the time of an earthquake. Even if the stored items collide violently and the end plate and the frame are damaged to some extent, the integrity between the end plate and the frame is less likely to be impaired, and a more robust frame structure can be realized. Specifically, the upper pressing member can suppress bending (deformation) due to the weight of the upper cap member at its center. Further, the lower pressing member can suppress bending due to its own weight at the center of the lower cap member and the weight of the end plate.

  Further, in the present invention, since it has a relatively strong frame structure like a four-sided furniture door, the strength of the entire door can be maintained even if a mirror plate made of glass is used to maintain a lighter appearance. There is little risk of being severely damaged by an earthquake.
