  However, in the above technique, it is necessary to fix the suspension rail, which is a separate member, to the bottom plate of the top bag or the wall surface of the kitchen, and it takes time and effort. Obviously, the problem is that it is unstable because it is simply hooked and suspended, and it is easy to fall. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and to provide a hanging structure for a cabinet that can be easily attached and can reliably hold small items after the attachment.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, according to the present invention, there is a hanging structure that is recessed in the lateral direction of the front panel of the cabinet and is fitted into a substantially U-shaped groove portion that is open in the front side view. A holding portion having an L-shaped pressure contact surface and a holding piece connected to the pressure contact surface, and a locking portion loosely fitting in the groove and locking the holding portion. The part consists of a front plate with a screw hole into which a fixing screw is screwed, and an upper fitting piece and a lower fitting piece respectively attached to the top and bottom of the front plate. A hanging structure provided with a tapered surface is provided so as to be elastically displaced as the screw advances and retreats. The locking portion is usually formed from a synthetic resin having elasticity, for example, polypropylene, hard vinyl chloride resin, ABS resin, or the like.

  It is preferable that a stopper is suspended from the upper opening end of the groove, and an engaging portion that engages with the stopper is projected on the upper surface of the upper fitting piece. Moreover, it is also possible to attach various hanging means as separate bodies to the holding piece of the holding portion. Further, the hanging structure is preferably used for a mirror cabinet, and at this time, the groove is preferably formed integrally with a lower part of a mirror sash for fixing the mirror.

  The invention according to claim 1 is as described above, and the hanging structure is loosely fitted in the groove portion, a holding portion having an L-shaped pressing surface and a holding piece connected to the pressing surface. Since the locking portion is configured to lock the holding portion, the locking portion is slidable left and right along a groove portion recessed in the lateral direction of the front panel of the cabinet. By screwing the fixing screw, the taper surface is pushed and the space between the upper fitting piece and the lower fitting piece spreads, and the holding portion can be firmly pressed and locked at a desired position.

  A stopper is suspended from the upper opening end of the groove, and an engaging portion that engages with the stopper is projected on the upper surface of the upper fitting piece. The stop portion does not come off and can be loosely slidably fitted to the left and right along the groove portion.

  Since the holding piece of the holding unit can be attached with various hanging means as separate bodies, it is possible to suspend and hold hooks, towel racks, mounting shelves, etc. according to the type of accessory. it can. In addition, the hanging structure is applied to a mirror cabinet, and the groove is formed integrally with a lower portion of a mirror sash for fixing the mirror, so that a small article such as a cup, towel, soap, etc. is formed on the front panel of the mirror cabinet. It is possible to suspend and hold a kind with good design.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a hanging structure according to the present invention is applied to a mirror cabinet will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the above-described hanging structure A of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a substantially U-shaped groove portion 4 that opens to the front side has a stopper 41 suspended from an upper opening end and a lower portion of a mirror sash B of the mirror cabinet. On the other hand, the hanging structure A latches the holding part 2 with a holding part 2 having an L-shaped pressure contact surface 21 in side view and a holding piece 22 connected to the pressure contact surface 21. At the same time, it is composed of a locking portion 1 loosely fitted in the groove portion 4 and a fixing screw 3.

  The locking portion 1 includes a front plate 11 provided with a screw hole 111 into which the fixing screw 3 is screwed, and an upper fitting piece 12 and a lower fitting piece 13 respectively provided above and below the front plate 11. Thus, the upper fitting piece 12 is provided with a tapered surface 121 on its lower surface so as to be elastically displaced as the screw portion 31 of the fixing screw 3 advances and retreats. Further, an engaging portion 122 that engages with the stopper 41 is provided on the upper surface of the upper fitting piece 12, and the pressure contact surface 21 of the holding portion 2 holds various suspension means. The pieces 22 are connected.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the operation of mounting the hanging structure A in the groove 4 formed in the lower part of the mirror sash B for fixing the mirror 5 of the mirror cabinet will be described. As can be seen from FIG. 2, first, the L-shaped pressure contact surface 21 in side view is inserted into the groove portion 4 and the holding portion 2 is attached. Thereafter, the locking portion 1 is fitted into the space between the top surface 42 of the groove portion 4 and the pressure contact surface 21 while being elastically deformed while suppressing the upper fitting piece 12 and the lower fitting piece 13. At this time, the engaging portion 1 does not come off because the engaging portion 122 protruding from the upper surface of the upper fitting piece 12 engages with the stopper 41 suspended from the upper opening end of the groove portion 4. Along with the groove part 4, together with the holding part 2, it can be loosely slidably fitted to the left and right.

  On the other hand, when the holding portion 2 is fixed at a desired position, the locking portion 1 that is made slidable is moved to a desired position together with the holding portion 2, and the fixing screw 3 is screwed through the screw hole 111. . Since the screw portion 31 pushes up the tapered surface 121 in accordance with the screwing of the fixing screw 3, the upper fitting piece 12 and the lower fitting piece 13 are brought into contact with the top surface 42 of the groove portion 4 and the pressure contact surface 21 of the holding portion 2. Can be pressed and fixed firmly. FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing the hanging structure A fixed in this manner. If the fixing screw 3 is loosened, the upper fitting piece 12 and the lower fitting piece 13 are elastically restored, so that the locking portion 1 is loosely fitted, and again along the groove portion 4 left and right. It is slidable and detachable.

  Various hanging means can be attached to the holding piece 22 connected to the pressure contact surface 21 of the holding portion 2.
