Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet that can be securely fixed to a wall and a method of fixing the same to a wall.

  A cabinet for storing articles such as tableware and cooking utensils is fixedly attached to the wall of the kitchen. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional wall-hanging cabinet 100 of this type. The cabinet 100 is configured as a box that opens forward from a back plate 110, a top plate 120, a bottom plate 130, and a pair of side plates (not shown), and a door 140 is attached to the front side of the box. Further, the cabinet 100 is fixed to the top plate 120 and the side plates on both sides at the top edge 112 of the back plate 110, and to the bottom plate 130 and the side plates on both sides at the bottom edge 114 of the back plate 110. The lower end support bar 115 and the intermediate support bar 117 fixed to the side plates on both sides at the intermediate part 116 of the back plate 110 are provided. The upper end support bar 113, the lower end support bar 115, and the intermediate support bar 117 are disposed in close contact with the back surface of the back plate 110, and the upper end support bar 113 and the lower end support bar 115 mainly deform the cabinet 100. As a reinforcing member for preventing, the intermediate support bar 117 mainly functions as a reinforcing member for preventing the back plate 110 from being bent.

When the cabinet 100 is attached to the wall, the cabinet 100 is first adjusted to a desired attachment position of the wall 80. At this time, the back of the cabinet 100 is placed on the surface of the wall 80 so that the positions of the upper support bars 113, the lower end support bars 115, and the intermediate support bars 117 correspond to the positions of the crosspieces 60 provided on the back side of the wall 80. Make contact. Next, the cabinet 100 is fixed to the wall 80. Specifically, when the upper end portion of the cabinet 100 is fixed, the screw 70 is passed through the back plate 110, the upper end support bar 113, and the wall 80 from the inside of the cabinet 100, and the screw 70 is screwed to the crosspiece 60. Similarly, the lower end portion and the middle portion of the cabinet 100 are also screwed into the pedestal 60 corresponding to the lower end support bar 115 by passing the screw 70 through the back of the cabinet and the wall 80, that is, through the lower end support bar 115. In addition, the screw 70 that has passed through the intermediate support bar 117 is screwed to the crosspiece 60 corresponding to the intermediate support bar 117, and the lower end portion and the intermediate portion of the cabinet 100 are fixed to the wall 80. In this state, since the screw 70 is exposed on the surface of the back plate 110 in the cabinet, the cap 160 may be attached to the head of the screw.
In this way, the cabinet 100 is fixed to the wall 80.

This kind of wall-hanging type kitchen cabinet is disclosed in Patent Document 1.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-261010

  However, since the pier 60 is disposed on the back side of the wall 80 and its position cannot be directly recognized, the wall 80 may be hit with the screw 70 at a position where the pier 60 on the back side of the wall is not present when the cabinet is fixed. In this case, since the screw 70 coming out from the back surface of the cabinet 100 only penetrates the wall 80, the fixing of the cabinet 100 to the wall 80 is weakened. In particular, when the crosspiece 60 is disposed so as to be displaced from a preset position, the screw 70 is easily detached from the crosspiece 60.

  In addition, since an electric tool such as a battery driver is generally used when tightening the screw, a predetermined torsion torque is applied to the tool when the screw 70 penetrates the upper end support bar 113 and the like. For this reason, the operator mistakenly determines that the screw 70 has reached the pier 60 just by passing the screw 70 through the upper end support bar 113 and the like, and does not notice that the screw 70 is detached from the pier 60. There was a case.

  The present invention was created to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a cabinet that can be securely fixed to a wall with a simple structure and a fixing method thereof.

In order to achieve the above object, the cabinet of the present invention includes a back plate, a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and reinforcing bars disposed on the back of the back plate. It has a feature of having a continuous through hole.
The cabinet of the present invention preferably includes, as reinforcing bars, a first reinforcing bar disposed on the back side of the upper end of the back plate and a second reinforcing bar disposed on the back side of the lower end of the back plate.

  In order to achieve the other object, the present invention is a method for fixing a cabinet having a back plate, a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and reinforcing bars disposed on the back of the back plate to a wall. The cabinet has a through-hole in which a back plate and a reinforcing bar are continuously drilled, and a screw is inserted into the through-hole, and the screw is passed through the wall and screwed to a crosspiece disposed on the back side of the wall. .

  According to the cabinet of the present invention, since a through-hole that communicates the back plate and the reinforcing bar is provided in the back of the cabinet in advance, the screw itself makes a hole in the back plate and the reinforcing bar as in the conventional cabinet 100. No torsional torque is generated. For this reason, when fixing the cabinet to the wall, even if an electric tool is used, the installer erroneously determines that the screw has been screwed into the pier due to the torsion torque generated when the screw penetrates the reinforcing bar. It is prevented. Moreover, if a screw is screwed in from the inside of the cabinet of this invention, a screw will penetrate only a wall and a crosspiece. For this reason, it can be determined that the screw has reached the crosspiece at the stage where the torsional torque generated when the screw is screwed is changed. Thus, according to the present invention, the cabinet can be easily and reliably fixed to the wall.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B are views showing a wall-hanging cabinet (hereinafter referred to as a cabinet) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1A is a perspective view seen from the back side, and FIG. It is the perspective view which looked at the inside of a cabinet from the position on the lower left side. As shown in these drawings, the cabinet 1 is configured as a box body opened forward from a back plate 10, a top plate 20, a bottom plate 30, and a pair of side plates 40, 40, and doors 50, 50 are provided on the front side of the box. Is hingedly attached by a hinge 55. Further, the cabinet 1 includes a first reinforcing bar 13 fixed to the top plate 20 and the left and right side plates 40 at the upper end edge 12 of the back plate 10, and a bottom plate 30 and left and right side plates 40 at the lower end edge 14 of the back plate 10. And a second reinforcing bar 15 fixed to. The first reinforcing bar 13 and the second reinforcing bar 15 are disposed in close contact with the back surface of the back plate 10 to prevent the back plate 10 of the cabinet 1 from being bent or the cabinet itself from being twisted. It is provided as a reinforcing member.

  The configuration as described above is the same as that of the conventional cabinet 100 shown in FIG. 3, but the cabinet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized by the following structure. That is, on the back surface of the cabinet 1, there are provided two first through holes 16 a continuously drilled in the upper edge 12 of the back plate 10 and the first reinforcing bar 13, and the lower edge of the back plate 10. Two second through-holes 16b that are continuously drilled in the first reinforcing bar 15 and the second reinforcing bar 15 are provided.

Next, a method for fixing the cabinet 1 configured as described above to the wall will be described. Here, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the cabinet 1 is fixed to the wall 80.
First, as shown in the figure, the cabinet 1 is adjusted to a desired mounting position of the wall 80. At this time, the back surface of the cabinet 1 is placed on the surface of the wall 80 so that the positions of the first reinforcing bars 13 and the second reinforcing bars 15 correspond to the positions of the respective crosspieces 60 provided on the back side of the wall 80. Make contact. Next, the screw 70 is inserted into the through holes 16 a and 16 b from the inside of the cabinet 1 and inserted into the through holes 16 a and 16 b until the tip of the screw 70 hits the wall 80. Then, for example, using an electric tool such as a battery driver, the screw 70 is passed through the wall 80 and screwed to the crosspiece 60. In this way, the screws 70 are put into all the through holes 16 a and 16 b and these are screwed to the crosspiece 60, whereby the cabinet 1 is fixed to the wall 80.

  Thus, according to the cabinet 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention, the 1st through-hole 16a connected to the backplate 10 and the 1st reinforcement bar | burr 13 in the cabinet back previously, the backplate 10, and the 2nd Since the second through-hole 16b communicating with the reinforcing bar 15 is formed, when the cabinet 1 is fixed to the wall 80, the back plate 10, the first reinforcing bar 13 or the second reinforcing bar 15 is fixed with the screw 70. There is no need to make a hole in the reinforcing bar 15. For this reason, when the screw 70 is tightened from the inside of the cabinet 1 using the electric tool, even if the screw 70 passes through the first reinforcing bar 13 or the second reinforcing bar 15 through the through holes 16a and 16b. No torsional torque is generated on the tool itself. Therefore, in the cabinet 1 according to the present invention, the installer may erroneously determine that the screw 70 has reached the pier 60 due to the torsion torque generated when the screw 70 passes through the back of the cabinet as in the conventional cabinet 100. Is prevented. Therefore, according to the cabinet 1 according to the present invention, the installer can surely confirm that the screw 70 is screwed to the crosspiece 60.

Further, according to the cabinet 1 according to the present invention, since only the wall 80 and the pier 60 can be perforated, when the screw is tightened using an electric tool, the wall in which the screw 70 is made of gypsum board or the like in particular. Since the torsional torque changes greatly when entering the pier 60 from within 80, the installer can easily recognize that the screw 70 has reached the pier 60. From this, when the screw is tightened, when the installer cannot sense a large change in torsion torque generated when the screw 70 enters the pier 60 from the wall 80, the cabinet 1 is removed. It can be easily understood that there is no pier 60 on the back surface of the set wall 80, and the cabinet 1 can be accurately fixed to the wall 80 by changing the position of the cabinet 1 relative to the wall 80 and re-fixing the cabinet 1. it can.
Thus, according to the cabinet 1 by this invention, it becomes possible to fix the cabinet 1 to the wall 80 reliably by the through-hole for screws being previously formed.

  The present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the cabinet 1 described above, the first reinforcing bar 13 and the second reinforcing bar 15 are provided on the back plate 10, but, for example, the deflection of the back plate 10 is provided on the back side of the intermediate portion of the back plate 11. An intermediate reinforcing bar may be provided to prevent the occurrence. The number of intermediate reinforcing bars is not particularly limited. Further, when providing the intermediate reinforcing bar, it is preferable to provide a through hole continuously drilled in the back plate 10 and each intermediate reinforcing bar, and screw the screw 70 to the crosspiece 60 on the back side of the wall 80 through the through hole. .

  Moreover, although the cabinet 1 mentioned above was a wall hanging type, the cabinet of this invention is not limited to a wall hanging type, The thing of the type put on a floor may be sufficient. Even in a cabinet of the type placed on the floor, the cabinet can be fixed to the wall 80 by screwing screws 70 to the pedestal 60 on the back side of the wall 80 through a through hole continuously drilled in the back of the cabinet and the reinforcing bar. For example, it is possible to prevent the cabinet from falling down due to an earthquake or the like.

  The above-described through holes 16a and 16b only have to communicate with the through holes on the back plate 10 side and the through holes on the first reinforcing bar 13 side and the second reinforcing bar 15 side. The size may be different. The number of through holes 16a and 16b provided in the cabinet is not limited to the illustrated example, and for example, three or more through holes may be provided corresponding to one reinforcing bar. In this case, alignment with each pier arranged on the back side of the wall can be easily performed.

  A door 50 is swingably attached to the cabinet 1. However, the door is not limited to a rotary door and may be a sliding door. Moreover, the cabinet in this invention may be comprised without providing a door. Furthermore, in the cabinet in this invention, of course, a shelf may be provided in the inside.
