Description

    The present invention relates to a utility provided in a reagent shelf installed in an experimental bench where a chemical experiment or the like is performed.

    In the experimental table, a reagent shelf for storing chemicals generally used for conducting chemical experiments and the like is provided. In addition, there is a space called a utility that is provided with flexible piping such as gas and tap water, electric cords, etc., which are generally used in experiments called energy, and these are generally located at the bottom of the reagent shelf. It is installed in the space.

    An example of such a reagent shelf is as shown in FIG.

    4A is a front view, and FIG. 4B is a side view. In these drawings, reference numeral 20 denotes an experimental table, and as shown in FIG. 4B, a reagent shelf 22 is arranged at the center thereof. In the lower part of the reagent shelf 22, a water tap 24, a gas tap 25, and the like are attached to the lower surface of the shelf plate, and a power outlet 26 is provided.

    As described above, the conventional reagent shelf has a disadvantage that the upper part is a shelf and the lower part of the shelf plate is not used as a shelf, so that the storage space is limited.

    The present invention provides a utility box that can be installed in a small space by providing a water tap or an outlet on the wall surface of a small box.

    The present invention also provides a utility box that can be easily moved to change the installation position.

    The utility box of the present invention has a water tap, a gas plug, etc. and a power outlet attached to the side of the case-like box, etc. It is the arranged configuration. As a result, a space is formed in the lower part of the shelf board, and devices can be arranged in this space, and the devices are installed at the optimum position according to the experiment contents by installing the box at the designated position or changing the installation position. Made it possible.

    The utility box of the present invention has a configuration in which the box can be easily moved by providing a mounting seat on the box having the above-described configuration and installing a rail on the shelf board.

    As a result, the box can be moved and installed at the designated position very easily, and the box can be moved to the optimum position according to the contents of the experiment as described above.

    The utility box according to the present invention can be installed at a specified position, changed or moved, and can be used very easily. Therefore, there is an effect that installation, change, and movement to an optimum position in consideration of the above can be performed very easily.

    Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the illustrated examples.

    FIG. 1 shows an example of the utility box of the present invention and its arrangement on the reagent table.

    1, (A) is a front view showing an example of the utility box of the present invention and its arrangement on the reagent shelf, (B) is a side view thereof, and (C) is another arrangement of the utility box on the reagent shelf. An example is shown.

    As shown in FIG. 1, the utility box 1 of the present invention is provided with a water tap, a gas tap, etc. 2 and an outlet 3 etc. on the surface (wall surface) of a box-like container, and is connected to these water taps etc. Flexible pipes, gas flexible pipes, electrical cords, and the like are accommodated, and the ends of these flexible pipes and cords can be connected to pipes such as water pipes and gas pipes and power sources.

    Thus, by using the utility box of the present invention, the space below the reagent shelf is secured, and the utility box position can be changed and moved in consideration of the piping position and the like. The arrangement position can be selected in consideration.

    FIG. 1A shows an example of the arrangement of utility boxes in consideration of the storage space as described above. By arranging the utility box as shown in this figure, it is possible to install devices as indicated by reference numeral 5 in the figure.

    FIG. 1C shows another arrangement example, and the arrangement space of the devices 5 can be changed by changing the arrangement position as shown in FIG.

    Therefore, it is possible to change various usage examples, such as placement that places importance on the location of water taps and placement that places importance on storage of equipment, depending on the contents of the experiment, etc. Can do.

    Example 2 of the present invention is an example in which the utility box of the present invention is installed on the lower surface of the shelf of the reagent shelf and the utility box can be easily moved.

    FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the utility box of the present invention is installed on the bottom surface of the reagent shelf.

    In this figure, the utility box has a configuration in which a water tap 2 and an outlet 3 are provided, and is attached to a box mounting seat 4 with a fixing screw 5. On the other hand, a rail 11 is formed on the shelf board 10, and the utility box 1 holds the mounting seat 4 slidably on the rail 11 of the shelf board 10. A space for piping and wiring is formed between the shelf board 10 and the mounting seat 4.

    As shown in FIG. 1A, the utility box 1 shown in FIG. 2 is positioned, for example, in the lower left corner of the shelf board 10, and, as described above, the center and right side of the lower part of the shelf board where the utility box is not located. The devices 5 can be stored in the space.

    Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, the box is moved along the rail of the shelf board, the utility box 1 is moved to the center, and the devices are installed on both sides thereof.

    In this way, the utility box 1 can be moved to the position convenient for installation of equipment by the convenience of the operator, and can be easily changed.

Here, in the utility box of the present invention, the pipe 6 and the power cord 7 are arranged using the space between the shelf board surface (front surface) and the rail 11 for moving the box. The piping here has flexibility for gas or water. Thus, this flexible pipe is placed in the space on the lower surface of the shelf board, and the pipe and the cord are connected to a gas plug, a water tap, a power outlet, etc. through the box. These flexible pipes and power cords are folded in the smallest folded state when the box is located at one shortest part of the moving arrangement (rail), and the box moves toward the opposite end. Accordingly, the flexible pipes gradually expand and extend when reaching the extreme end, and are folded by moving in the reverse direction from the reversely extended state.

    As a result, the box moves smoothly and energy can be used at any position.

    FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the positions of the piping and wiring in the rail 11, and shows an arrangement state of the piping and wiring and an example of movement (deformation) when the utility box is moved.

    In FIG. 3, one end 6c of the piping and wiring 6 (7) is a supply side for water and gas, and the other end 6a is the utility box 1 side.

    As shown in FIG. 3, at the position where the utility box 1 is separated from the supply side, the piping and wiring 6 (7) are bent and arranged in a short U shape as shown in A of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3B, the bent portion is changed and the U-shaped portion is extended to be shortened as a whole. Conversely, when the utility box 1 is moved away from the supply side, the U-shaped portion is shortened due to the deformation of the bent portion.

    As a result, the utility box moves smoothly, and at the same time, the piping and wiring are deformed without any trouble.

    As described above, since the box can be moved in the present invention, when placing the equipment on the right side so as not to interfere with the installation of the equipment as shown in FIG. When the device is moved and placed on the left and right as shown in FIG. 1C, the box may be moved to the center.

    In addition to changing the position of the box depending on the installation location of the equipment, it is possible to move to the position near the operator or the most convenient position in the work depending on the work contents, and thereby flexibility from the stopper provided on the box The length of piping and cords can be shortened, which prevents work from getting in the way and contributes to improving work efficiency.

    The utility box of the present invention is used by being installed at the lower part of the shelf of the reagent shelf installed on the laboratory bench, and it is very easy to install, change the position and move to an appropriate position according to the experiment contents. obtain.
