  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-137061 discloses a locker in which a door is provided on the front surface of a storage portion formed of a steel plate material as this type of storage. In this case, the locker is configured so that the door can be locked by a lock fixed to the door.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-137061 (page 3, FIG. 1)

  However, this conventional locker has the following problems. That is, with this locker and other conventional lockers, it is usually difficult to take out an article stored in the locker unless a key is used. Also, in the event of an emergency such as a fire or a disaster, when there is no key but it is desired to take out the stored item in the locker, either the door or the lock must be destroyed because the lock is fixed to the door. Therefore, in order to repair the locker and use it again, the broken lock or door must be replaced, and there is a problem that a large amount of cost is required for the replacement.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a storage that can reliably and easily take out stored articles and can be easily repaired.

  In order to achieve the above object, the storage according to claim 1 includes a door attached to the housing main body so as to be openable and closable, and a lock for restricting the opening and closing of the door, and can store articles in the housing main body. The lock is attached to the door via an attachment member, and the attachment member is broken or deformed when a predetermined force is applied in a state where the lock is attached to the door. Is configured to be allowed to be detached from the door.

  The storage according to claim 2 is the storage according to claim 1, wherein the mounting member is formed in a flat plate shape and a groove is formed on at least one surface of the mounting member.

  The storage according to claim 3 is the storage according to claim 2, wherein the groove is formed only on one surface of the mounting member, and the surface of the mounting member on which the groove is formed is the housing portion. It is attached with facing the inside of the main body.

  In the storage according to claim 1, when the predetermined force is applied in a state in which the lock is attached to the door, the attachment member is broken, thereby allowing the lock to be detached from the door. Therefore, since the lock can be unlocked with a key in normal times, it can be unlocked without using the key by destroying the mounting member in an emergency, so that the stored article can be reliably and easily removed. . Further, since only an inexpensive mounting member is destroyed at the time of emergency unlocking, it is only necessary to replace the mounting member. As a result, it can be restored to a state that is inexpensive and can be used easily.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the mounting member can be reliably and easily destroyed by forming the mounting member in a flat plate shape and forming a groove on at least one surface.

  Further, in the storage according to claim 3, the presence of the groove is not visually recognized from the outside of the storage by attaching the mounting member to the door in a state where the surface on which the groove is formed faces the inside of the housing body. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone other than those involved to know the configuration. Therefore, even if a storage is installed in a place where an unspecified number of people come and go, it is possible to prevent the stored articles in the storage unit main body from being stolen and mischievous to the storage itself.

  First, the configuration of the locker 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The locker 1 is an example of a storage according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the locker 1 includes a main body 2 and a door 3 so that articles (not shown) can be accommodated in the main body 2. It is configured. The main body portion 2 corresponds to the housing portion main body in the present invention, and is configured in a vertically long box shape whose front side is open. Specifically, the main body 2 is formed by connecting together plate bodies of a bottom plate, left and right side plates, a top plate and a back plate, each formed of steel.

  The door 3 is arrange | positioned at the front side of the main-body part 2, and is attached to the edge part of the right side board in the main-body part 2 through a pair of hinges so that opening and closing is possible. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the door 3 is provided with a window 4, a pair of holders 5 and 6, a mounting plate 7 and a lock 8. Furthermore, a rectangular hole 3 a for exposing a part of the door 3 to the outside of the door 3 in a state where the mounting plate 7 is disposed on the door 3 is formed in the door 3. Note that the door 3 is also formed with a folded portion for securing strength at the edge thereof. The window 4 is formed by fitting a transparent polycarbonate plate into a rectangular hole processed on the upper side of the door 3, and confirms the articles stored in the locker 1 from the front side (front side) when the door 3 is closed. Used for.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of holders 5 and 6 are respectively disposed above and below the hole 3 a on the back surface of the door 3 in order to hold the mounting plate 7. Specifically, the holder 5 disposed on the upper side is attached to the door 3 with the lower side thereof being separated from the door 3, and is inserted into the gap between the lower side and the back surface of the door 3. The upper side of the attached mounting plate 7 is held. On the other hand, the holding tool 6 disposed on the lower side is attached to the door 3 with the upper side thereof being separated from the door 3, and is inserted into the gap between the upper side and the back surface of the door 3. The lower side of the mounting plate 7 is held. In addition, the attachment plate 7 is free to move in the lateral direction while being held by the holders 5 and 6 in a state where the holders 5 and 6 are inserted from the lateral direction. For this reason, in this locker 1, the mounting plate 7 is crushed toward the back side of the door 3 while the edges 5 a and 6 a (see FIG. 3) of the holders 5 and 6 are inserted into the back. , Its movement is regulated.

  The mounting plate 7 corresponds to the mounting member in the present invention, and is formed in a rectangular shape and a flat plate shape (as an example, a thickness of 3 mm) using, for example, an opaque acrylic resin as a material. Moreover, when attaching the lock 8 to the attachment plate 7, the through-hole 11 through which a part of the lock 8 can penetrate, and the attachment plate 7 can be easily broken when a predetermined force is applied in an emergency or the like. Grooves 12 and 13 are formed.

  The through-hole 11 is formed in a track shape that is complementary to the cross-sectional shape of the lock 8 in order to restrict the rotation of the lock 8 when locking or unlocking. As shown in FIG. 5, the grooves 12 and 13 are formed on one surface of the mounting plate 7 so as to have a V-shaped cross-sectional shape having a depth of 2 mm and a width of 1 mm. As shown in FIG. 4, the groove 12 is formed in a circular shape outside the through hole 11. Further, the groove portion 13 is formed in a plurality of radial shapes centering on the center of the groove portion 12 inside the circular groove portion 12. For this reason, since the site | part around the through-hole 11 in the attachment plate 7 is formed thinly by the groove parts 12 and 13, destruction and a deformation | transformation are easy.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lock 8 includes a lock body 21, a nut 22, a restriction piece 23, and a bolt 24, and opens and closes the door 3 while attached to the door 3 via the mounting plate 7. To regulate. The lock body 21 includes a keyhole portion 21a, an engaging portion 21b, and a rotating portion 21c. The keyhole portion 21a is configured such that a keyhole is formed on the front surface thereof so that a key can be inserted and removed. The engaging portion 21b is formed in a shape complementary to the through hole 11 of the mounting plate 7, that is, in a track shape in which the left and right side surfaces of the cylinder are cut out in parallel, and a male screw is formed in a portion not cut out. ing. The rotating portion 21c is configured to be rotatable in accordance with the rotation of the key inserted into the lock body 21. Moreover, the bolt hole which can be screwed together with the volt | bolt 24 is formed in the edge part of the rotation part 21c.

  The nut 22 is formed to be able to be screwed into the male screw of the engaging portion 21b, and fixes the lock body 21 to the mounting plate 7 by sandwiching the mounting plate 7 together with the keyhole portion 21a. The restricting piece 23 is formed as a long flat plate and has a through hole through which the bolt 24 penetrates at one end side. Further, the restricting piece 23 rotates according to the rotation of the rotating portion 21c while being fixed to the rotating portion 21c. Therefore, the restricting piece 23 restricts the opening and closing of the door 3 in a state where the other end is rotated in a tilting direction, and permits the opening and closing of the door 3 in a state where the restricting piece 23 is rotated in a rising direction. The bolt 24 is screwed into the end portion of the rotating portion 21c with the restricting piece 23 interposed therebetween, thereby fixing the restricting piece 23 to the rotating portion 21c.

  Next, a method for attaching the lock 8 to the door 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. In this case, with the door 3 opened, first, the mounting plate 7 is inserted between the pair of holders 5 and 6 from the lateral side. At this time, the mounting plate 7 is moved until the end thereof comes into contact with the turn formed at the edge of the door 3. Thereby, the hole 3a is closed as shown by the broken line in FIG. In this case, the attachment plate 7 is attached so that the formation surfaces of the grooves 12 and 13 face the inside of the main body 2. As a result, the grooves 12 and 13 are not visible from the front side of the door 3. Next, the edges 5a and 6a of the holders 5 and 6 are crushed. Thereby, the attachment plate 7 is fixed to the door 3 in a state where movement in the left-right direction is restricted.

  Subsequently, the lock main body 21 of the lock 8 is inserted into the through hole 11 of the fixed mounting plate 7 from the front side of the door 3. At this time, the nut 22 is fastened to the male screw of the engaging portion 21 b from the rear side of the door 3, and the lock body 21 is fixed to the mounting plate 7 together with the key hole portion 21 a of the lock body 21. Next, the bolts 24 are screwed in a state where the through holes of the restricting pieces 23 are aligned with the bolt holes of the rotating portion 21 c of the lock body 21. Thereby, the restricting piece 23 is fixed to the rotating portion 21 c by the bolt 24. In this state, the turning portion 21c is turned by turning the key inserted into the keyhole portion 21a, and the restricting piece 23 is also turned accordingly.

  In this case, by inserting the key into the keyhole portion 21a and turning the key in the direction in which the end portion of the restricting piece 23 is tilted, the end portion of the restricting piece 23 is hung on the main body 2 as shown in FIG. Thus, the opening and closing of the door 3 is restricted. That is, the lock 8 is locked. On the contrary, by turning the key in the direction in which the end of the restricting piece 23 is raised, the end of the restricting piece 23 is detached from the main body 2 and the door 3 is allowed to open and close. That is, the lock 8 is unlocked.

  On the other hand, the door 3 may not be unlocked with a key due to reasons such as losing the key when taking out the contained articles (for example, an air-injection type stretcher) in the main body 2 in an emergency such as a fire or disaster. is there. In such a case, the mounting plate 7 is broken and the door 3 is unlocked. In this case, first, a predetermined force is applied in the vicinity of the keyhole portion 21a in the mounting plate 7 by hitting with a fist or the like from the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. The “predetermined force” is a force stronger than a force applied during normal use, and means a force that is strong to some extent so that a person strikes with a bare hand or the like. Subsequently, when a predetermined force is applied, stress concentrates on the thin portion formed by the grooves 12 and 13 in the mounting plate 7, so that the mounting plate 7 is formed at the thin portion formed around the mounting position of the lock 8. Will be damaged. For this reason, the lock 8 is detached from the door 3 together with the surrounding mounting plate 7 and falls to the inside of the locker 1. Along with this, a loud sound is generated due to the lock 8 colliding with the bottom plate of the main body 2. Next, the user can take out the stored article in the main body 2 by opening the door 3 by placing the hand on the handle of the door 3.

  On the other hand, when attaching the new attachment plate 7, first, the edges 5a and 6a of the holders 5 and 6 crushed when the attachment plate 7 is fixed are lifted to return to the original shape. Next, the damaged mounting plate 7 is moved laterally along the holders 5 and 6 and removed. Subsequently, the new attachment plate 7 is attached to the door 3 and the lock 8 is attached to the attachment plate 7 by the method described above. As a result, the locker 1 can be easily repaired.

  As described above, in the locker 1, when a predetermined force is applied in a state where the lock 8 is attached to the door 3, the attachment plate 7 is broken, so that the lock 8 can be detached from the door 3. Therefore, since the lock 8 can be unlocked with a key in normal times, it can be unlocked without using the key by destroying the mounting plate 7 in an emergency, so that the contained articles can be taken out reliably and easily. Can do. Further, since only the inexpensive mounting plate 7 is destroyed at the time of emergency unlocking, it is only necessary to replace the mounting plate 7, so that it can be restored to a state that is inexpensive and can be used easily.

  Moreover, according to this locker 1, the mounting plate 7 can be reliably and easily destroyed by forming the mounting plate 7 in a flat plate shape and forming the grooves 12 and 13 on at least one surface. .

  Further, in the locker 1, the mounting plate 7 is attached to the door 3 with the surface on which the groove portions 12 and 13 are formed facing the inner side of the main body portion 2, so that the presence of the groove portions 12 and 13 is outside the locker 1. Since it is not visually recognized, it is difficult for anyone other than those involved to know its configuration. Therefore, even if the locker 1 is installed in a place where an unspecified number of people come and go, it is possible to prevent the stored articles in the main body 2 from being stolen and mischievous with respect to the locker 1 itself. In this case, in order to prevent theft and mischief, a printed matter with a precautionary statement such as “When you take out the item inside in an emergency, hit the key area with your hand. You can also stick it to call attention. In addition, although the structure which forms the groove parts 12 and 13 in one surface of the attachment board 7 was demonstrated in this example, the groove parts 12 and 13 can also be formed in both surfaces of the attachment board 7. FIG. Further, a transparent material such as styrene resin can be used instead of the opaque acrylic resin.

  In addition, although the example which applies the storage which concerns on this invention to the locker was demonstrated in this example, this invention is not limited to this, It can also apply to a clog box etc. Moreover, although the structure which makes the lock 8 detach | leave from the door 3 by destruction of the attachment plate 7 was demonstrated, the structure which makes the lock 8 detach | leave from the door 3 by deform | transforming the attachment plate 7 is also employable. Furthermore, the structure which accept | permits the detachment | leave from the door 3 of the lock | rock 8 by destroying or deform | transforming the holders 5 and 6 is also employable. In this case, the holders 5 and 6 and the attachment plate 7 together constitute an attachment member in the present invention. In this configuration, a predetermined force applied to the mounting plate 7 is transmitted to the holders 5 and 6, and the holders 5 and 6 are broken or deformed, whereby the lock 8 is detached from the door 3. Further, the holders 5 and 6 are fixed with plastic screws, and when a predetermined force is applied to the holders 5 and 6, the screws are broken or deformed, whereby the lock 8 is detached from the door 3. A configuration can also be adopted.

  The mounting plate 7 is formed of a material that allows the mounting plate 7 to be broken or deformed without breaking the lock 8 in order to allow the lock 8 to be detached from the door 3 when a predetermined force is applied. For example, a configuration using a plastic material such as ABS resin or styrene resin or a wood material of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) may be employed. Moreover, although the example which forms the circular groove part 12 and the several radial groove part 13 in the attachment plate 7 was demonstrated, the shape and dimension of the groove part formed in the attachment plate 7 can also be set arbitrarily. Moreover, although the example which forms the V-shaped groove parts 12 and 13 in the attachment plate 7 was demonstrated as an example of the groove part in this invention, the shape of a groove part can also be made into concave shape. Furthermore, it is needless to say that the above-described configurations can be appropriately combined.
