Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet formed by slidably engaging an inner rail formed on an outer surface of a drawer box on an outer rail provided in the cabinet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cabinet in which a drawer box can be easily installed even when it is difficult to install the drawer box due to obstruction of piping.

  Conventionally, the cabinet shown by patent document 1 is known. That is, rollers are provided at intervals on the upper and lower sides of the outer side rear surfaces of the left and right side plates, and the outer rails attached to the cabinet body by these rollers are sandwiched from above and below, and the inner rails in the front-rear direction are provided on the outer side surfaces of the left and right side plates. , And a cabinet having a drawer box having a roller guided by the inner rail as a drawer guide mechanism provided at a front portion of the outer rail.

  When using water, such as a bathroom vanity with a washbasin on the top surface and a kitchen cabinet with a sink on the top surface, water supply pipes, water distribution pipes, etc. are installed in the cabinet, limiting the depth of the drawer box to be installed. This limit varies depending on the construction site. To cope with this limitation, it is only necessary to cut both side plates and bottom plate to reduce the depth of the drawer box. However, when cutting both side plates, the inner rails provided on the outer surfaces of both side plates are also cut. In addition, the inner rail may be deformed at the time of cutting, or burrs may be generated on the cut surface, and the slidable engagement with the outer rail may not be performed smoothly.

Moreover, if only the bottom plate is cut and the position of the back plate is moved to the front side and fixed between both side plates, the depth of the drawer box can be reduced without cutting both side plates. However, even in this case, since the position of the back plate is moved to the near side, the back plate is not supported in the back side portion from the back plate, so both the side plates are bent and easily deformed. In some cases, the slidable engagement between the inner rails of the both side plates and the outer rail provided on the cabinet main body does not work smoothly.
JP 2004-305353 A (summary and FIG. 2)

  The present invention solves the drawbacks of the cabinet in the above-mentioned conventional example, and in particular, a cabinet that can change the depth of the drawer box and can smoothly provide the corresponding drawer box even if pipes are present. The issue is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a cabinet according to the present invention is a cabinet in which an inner rail formed on an outer surface of a drawer box is slidably engaged with an outer rail provided in the cabinet. The relative position of the back plate and the side plate in the pull-out direction is set freely, the back plate is fixed between the side plates, and an avoidance space is formed between the side plates on the back side of the back plate and without the bottom plate. One piece is fixed on the back outer surface of the back plate, and the other piece is provided with a reinforcing bracket fixed on the side plate protruding in the back direction from the back plate.

  The cabinet according to claim 1, wherein the relative position in the pulling direction between the back plate and the side plate of the drawer box is set so as to be freely selectable, and the back plate is fixed between the side plates. In addition to forming an avoidance space between the side plates that do not exist, a reinforcing bracket is provided to fix one piece to the back plate's back outer surface and the other piece to the side plate that protrudes in the back direction from the back plate. The side plate protruding in the direction can be smoothly and slidably engaged with the inner rail formed on the outer surface of the side plate of the drawer box without being bent or deformed by the reinforcing bracket. It is.

  In the cabinet according to claim 2, the reinforcing bracket is formed of a synthetic resin L-shaped material, and the side plate is locked and fixed to a locking piece formed by bending the inner side end of the side plate inward. In addition to the effect of the cabinet according to claim 1, it can be easily locked and fixed to the side plate of the reinforcing bracket.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a drawer box, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the drawer box, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the reinforcement bracket, and FIG. 6 is a plan explanatory view showing a part of the drawer box used in the drawer box shown in FIG.

  1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet, which is a kitchen cabinet in which a sink 2 is formed on a top plate, and 3 is a currant. The cabinet 1 is provided with a curtain plate 10, a door plate 4, and a drawer box 5 on the front surface. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drawer box 5 includes a front plate 6, side plates 7 and 7, a back plate 8, and a bottom plate 9.

  The side plates 7 and 7 form an inner rail 11 on the outer surface, and a fixing portion 12 for fixing the back plate 8 on the inner surface. A plurality of fixing portions 12 are formed by shifting the position of the side plate 7 in the depth direction, and the fixing position of the back plate 8 can be changed in the depth direction. When the fixed position of the back plate 8 is changed in the depth direction, the avoidance space 13 is formed between the side plates 7 and 7 and the back plate 8 while changing the size as shown in FIG. The avoidance space 13 avoids the piping part 14 as shown in FIG.

  Reference numeral 15 denotes an outer rail provided in the cabinet 1, which is slidably engaged with an inner rail 11 formed on the outer surface of the side plates 7 and 7 so that the drawer box 5 can be pulled out. Here, the fact that the outer rail 15 and the inner rail 11 are slidably engaged with each other is not limited to a specific structure, but may be a conventionally known structure.

  FIG. 5 shows the reinforcing bracket 16, which is made of an L-shaped material made of synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 6, one piece 17 is fixed to the back outer surface of the back plate 8 with screws, for example, The other piece 18 is locked by a locking piece 19 formed by bending the back end of the side plate 7 inward. That is, the other piece 18 of the reinforcing bracket 16 has a locking projection 20, and the locking projection 20 is inserted and locked into the locking hole 21 of the locking piece 19.

  In this way, since the reinforcing bracket 16 connects the back plate 8 and the side plate 7, the side plate 7 is less likely to be bent or deformed. For this reason, the inner rail 11 and the outer rail of the drawer box 5 are less likely to be bent. 15 is smoothly slidably engaged. In addition, although the kitchen cabinet was shown in drawing, a bathroom vanity may be sufficient.
