Description

  The present invention relates to a line handle attached to an end surface in the width direction of a sliding door and a storage provided with the line handle.

  For example, in a tableware storehouse installed in a kitchen, a double-open door whose door swings around both ends in the width direction of the storage body, or a door that slides in the lateral direction by sliding the front opening of the storage body An inset type that opens and closes by a large number was used.

  However, in a double-opening type storage, there is a problem that a large space is required on the front side in order to open and close the door. In an inset type storage, the door slides in a sliding manner. There is a problem that the storage space is reduced by the thickness of the sheet.

  Therefore, the applicant of the present invention opens one of the left and right sliding doors, which form a flat plane in the closed state, by sliding it to the front side and sliding it sideways, and overlapping the sliding door with the other sliding door in front view. The sliding door opening / closing mechanism that has been proposed previously has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

This sliding door opening and closing mechanism is configured by arranging a pair of upper and lower guide means for guiding the opening and closing operation of the sliding door in the space defined by the plane partition plates above and below in the storage body. According to the above, in the fully closed state, the left and right sliding doors are flat, so that the storage space of the storage is not reduced by the slide door, and when opening or closing the storage, The effect of not requiring a large opening / closing space on the front side in order to pull out and slide in the lateral direction can be obtained.
Japanese Patent No. 3741202

  By the way, in recent years, there is an increasing need for tableware storage cabinets and the like of system kitchens in which protrusions such as a handle do not protrude on the front surface in order to improve operability and design. In order to meet such needs, a configuration is conceivable in which a line handle extending linearly in the vertical direction over the entire height is attached to one end surface in the width direction of the slide door.

  Thus, when the sliding door with the line handle attached is slid in the horizontal direction to open and close, the direction in which the user grips the line handle and applies force to it is different between the opening operation and the closing operation. Since the left and right are reversed, the line handle requires separate handle portions to be gripped during the opening operation and the closing operation.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to open and close the sliding door with good operability by applying a necessary force in either the left or right direction when the sliding door is opened or closed. The object is to provide a line handle and a storage provided with the line handle.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a line handle attached to the end surface in the width direction of the sliding door of the storage which is opened and closed by the sliding door in which the front opening of the storage body slides laterally. The channel-shaped member whose front surface is open is characterized in that a handle portion having an L-shaped cross section bent at a substantially right angle toward the inside is integrally formed in the upper and lower direction at both edges in the width direction on the opening side.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, one side of the left and right sliding doors forming a flat plane in the closed state is pulled out to the front side and then slid in the lateral direction, and then superimposed on the other sliding door in a front view. In the storage where the front opening is opened, the line handle according to claim 1 is attached to the end surface in the width direction of each sliding door.

  According to the present invention, the line handle is composed of a channel-shaped member whose front surface is open, and has a L-shaped cross section that is bent at a substantially right angle toward the inside at both ends in the width direction on the opening side of the channel-shaped member. Since the handle part is formed integrally in the vertical direction, the slide handle can be operated by placing one hand on the other side of the line handle when opening and closing the slide door. The sliding door can be opened / closed with good operability by applying a necessary force in either of the left and right directions.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 is a front view of a storage according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1 (when the sliding door is fully closed), FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA (when the sliding door is opened and closed), FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is an enlarged detail view of a portion D in FIG. FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 are partial perspective views showing the operation of the sliding door opening / closing mechanism according to the present invention along the procedure for opening the sliding door.

  The storage 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a tableware storage installed in the system kitchen, and the front opening 2a (see FIGS. 2 to 5) of the rectangular box-shaped storage body 2 includes left and right sliding doors 3L, Although opened and closed by 3R, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is closed by the left and right slide doors 3L and 3R, the left and right slide doors 3L and 3R are stepped. It has a flat surface without any gaps.

  In the state where the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is closed by the left and right slide doors 3L and 3R as described above, for example, the right slide door 3R is moved to the front side (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5). After pulling out in the direction of arrow y in FIG. 4, the right sliding door 3R is slid in the lateral direction (in the direction of arrow x in FIG. 4) and overlapped with the left sliding door 3L in front view to open the front of the storage body 2 The right half of the part 2a can be opened (opening 50%), and dishes can be taken in and out from the opened part.

  In addition, in order to close the storage body 2 in which the right half of the front opening 2a is opened, the right slide door 3R superimposed on the front side of the left slide door 3L is viewed in the horizontal direction (in the direction of the arrow x ′ in FIG. 4). ) To the right limit, the right sliding door 3R may be pushed inward (in the direction of arrow y ′ in FIG. 4). Then, the right slide door 3R closes the right half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2, and the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is a left and right slide that forms a flat plane, as shown in FIGS. The doors 3L and 3R are fully closed. Although the opening / closing operation of the right slide door 3R has been described above, the left half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 can be opened and closed by operating the left slide door 3L in the same manner as the right slide door 3R. .

  Thus, the open / close operation of the left and right slide doors 3L, 3R is performed by the slide door open / close mechanism according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. A pair of guide means G and G ′ provided on the upper and lower sides are provided. Here, lower and upper spaces S and S ′ are defined by horizontal flat partition plates 4 and 4 ′ in the upper and lower portions of the storage body 2, and the pair of upper and lower guide means G and G ′ are It is stored in each space S, S ′. Accordingly, in the storage body 2, the space between the upper and lower flat partition plates 4, 4 ′ is a storage space.

  Next, the structure of the guide means G and G 'constituting the slide opening / closing mechanism according to the present invention will be described. The guide means G, G provided on the upper side of the left and right sliding doors 3L, 3R and the guide means G ′, G ′ provided on the lower side are symmetrical with respect to the center in the width direction of the storage body 2. However, since these basic configurations are the same, only the configuration of the guide means G and G ′ disposed above and below the right sliding door 3R will be described below.

  First, the structure of the upper guide means G will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a channel-shaped first guide rail 5 having an open upper surface is provided on the upper flat partition plate 4 as shown in FIG. 2 is laid in the lateral direction (sliding direction of the sliding doors 3L and 3R) over the entire width of 2, and the first guide rail 5 has a length of about 1/4 of the total length of the guide rail 5. A rectangular pipe-shaped slider 6 is movably held. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of rollers 7 are rotatably supported on the left and right sides of the slider 6, and the slider 6 extends laterally along the first guide rail 5 via the rollers 7 (see FIG. 3). 3 in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface).

  As shown in FIG. 2, connecting plates 8 and 9 are horizontally connected to the left and right ends of the upper surface of the slider 6. The connecting plates 8 and 9 are connected to the swing plates 10 and 11. The intermediate portions are pivotally attached to the shafts 12 and 13 so as to be able to swing horizontally, and one end portions (inner end portions) of the swing plates 10 and 11 are connected by a link member 14. Then, the upper end of the right slide door 3 </ b> R is connected to each other end portion (outer end portion) of the swing plates 10 and 11 by a shaft 15.

  On the other hand, in the lower guide means G ′, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a channel-shaped first guide rail 5 ′ having an open lower surface is formed on the lower surface of the lower planar partition plate 4 ′. The storage body 2 is laid in the lateral direction (the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5) over the entire width, and the first guide rail 5 ′ has about 1 / the total length of the guide rail 5 ′. A slider 6 'having a length of 4 and having an L-shaped cross section is movably held via a plurality of rollers 7'.

  Two swing plates 10 ′ and 11 ′ (the swing plate 11 ′ is not shown in FIGS. 3 and 5) are swingably connected to the slider 6 ′. Each end part (inner end part) of 10 ', 11' is connected by link member 14 '. Then, the lower end of the right slide door 3R is connected to each other end portion (outer end portion) of the swing plates 10 and 11 'by a shaft 15'.

  Accordingly, the right slide door 3R is vertically supported by the swing plates 10, 11 and 10 ', 11' of the upper and lower guide means G, G ', as shown in Figs. On the right end surface of the right slide door 3R, a channel-shaped line handle 16 having an open front surface is attached linearly over the entire height. A similar line handle 16 is also attached to the left end surface of the left slide door 3L.

  Here, the details of the configuration of the line handle 16 are shown in FIG. 7, and the line handle 26 is configured by a channel-shaped member having an open front surface. The handle portions 16a and 16b having an L-shaped cross section bent at a substantially right angle toward the inside are integrally formed in the vertical direction.

  Thus, in the upper guide means G, both the swing plates 10, 11 and the link member 14 and the right slide door 3R form a parallelogram link, and in the lower guide means G ′, both The swing plates 10 ′ and 11 ′, the link member 14 ′, and the right slide door 3R constitute a parallelogram link.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a return spring 17 is stretched between the swing plates 10, 11 of the upper guide means G. A damper 18 is interposed between them. Similarly, a return spring 17 'is stretched between the swing plates 10, 11' of the lower guide means G '.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the upper guide means G, a second guide rail 19 is laid in the lateral direction on the front side of the first guide rail 5 of the flat partition plate 4. . The second guide rail 19 is composed of a linear guide portion 19a extending linearly in the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) and concave swing guide portions 19b formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the linear guide portion 19a. As will be described later, the swing guide portion 19b functions as a guide for pulling out the right slide door 3R to the front side. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower guide means G ′ also has a second guide rail on the front side (left side in FIG. 3) of the first guide rail 5 ′ of the plane partition plate 4 ′. Although 19 'is laid in the horizontal direction, although not shown in figure, the longitudinal direction edge part of the linear guide part of this 2nd guide rail 19' has a concave shape used as a guide at the time of pulling out the right slide door 3R to the near side. The swing guide portion is formed. In the present embodiment, the first guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 19 of the upper guide means G and the first guide rail 5 'and the second guide rail of the lower guide means G' are used. 19 'is integrated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a shaft 20 protrudes vertically downward from one swinging plate 10 of the upper guide means G, and the second guide rail is provided at the lower end of the shaft 20. A roller 21 that rolls along the roller 19 is rotatably supported. Similarly, a shaft 20 ′ is erected vertically upward from one swinging plate 10 ′ of the lower guide means G ′, and the second guide rail 19 is provided at the upper end of the shaft 20 ′. A roller 21 ′ that rolls along is supported rotatably.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8 to 10, the swing plates 10 and 10 ′ of the upper and lower guide means G and G ′ are in the shape of a rectangular pipe that stands vertically. The connecting rods 22 are connected to each other. Specifically, brackets 23 and 23 ′ are respectively attached to shafts 15 and 15 ′ that connect the swing plates 10 and 10 ′ and the right slide door 3R. The ends of the connecting rod 22 are connected to the shafts 15 and 15 'via flanges 24 and 24' at positions eccentric to the shafts 15 and 15 '.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8 to 10, the right slide door 3R is entirely at both ends in the width direction of the front edge of the upper and lower flat partition plates 4 and 4 ′ (only one is shown in FIG. 4). A notch 25a for storing the connecting rod 22 when in the closed state is formed. As shown in detail in FIG. 6, the notch 25 a is formed as an inclined surface whose inner side surface (left side surface in FIG. 6) 25 a-1 extends forward (downward in FIG. 6). The opening width is widened. In the present embodiment, the resin member 25 in which the notch 25a is formed is fitted to the front edges of the upper and lower flat partition plates 4 and 4 '.

  Next, the opening / closing operation of the right slide door 3R will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is closed by the left and right sliding doors 3L, 3R forming a flat plane, as shown in FIG. The connecting rod 22 that connects the rocking plates 10 and 10 'of the means G and G' is housed in a notch 25a of a resin member 25 fitted to the upper and lower flat partition plates 4 and 4 '.

  In the above state, for example, when a user puts a hand on the left handle 16a (see FIG. 7) of the line handle 16 of the right slide door 3R and pulls the right slide door 3R toward the front (arrow y direction in FIG. 4). For example, in the upper guide means G, the oscillating plates 10 and 11 oscillate around the shafts 12 and 13 in the direction of the arrow a in FIG. 2, but as described above, the oscillating plates 10 and 11 and the link member 14 Since the right slide door 3R forms a parallelogram link, the right slide door 3R swings in the direction of arrow a in FIG. Move to the front side in parallel. At this time, the lower guide means G 'operates in the same manner.

  Thus, in the process of pulling out the right slide door 3R to the near side as described above, the rollers 21 and 21 ′ held rotatably on the upper and lower swing plates 10 and 10 ′ via the shafts 20 and 20 ′ are provided. Since the second guide rails 19 and 19 'are engaged with the swinging guide portions 19b (the lower side is not shown) (see FIG. 9), the right slide door 3R is prevented from lateral movement. Further, since the swing plates 10 and 10 'of the upper and lower guide means G and G' are connected to each other by the connecting rod 22, the upper and lower guide means G and G 'are interlocked so that the right slide door 3R is the first. The two guide rails 19 and 19 ′ are smoothly pulled out toward the front side while swinging along the swing guide portion 19b (the lower side is not shown). At this time, the connecting rod 22 housed in the notch 25a of the resin member 25 fitted to the upper and lower flat partition plates 4 and 4 'is detached from the notch 25a as shown in FIG. As described above, the notch 25a is formed as an inclined surface whose inner side surface 25a-1 extends forward, and the opening width is increased toward the front. Therefore, interference with the notch 25a of the connecting rod 22 is avoided, and the right slide door 3R is smoothly pulled out to the near side while swinging (see FIG. 10).

  As described above, when the right slide door 3R is pulled out in parallel to the front side of the front surface of the storage body 2, the user grasps the left handle 16a of the line handle 16 of the right slide door 3R and The right slide door 3R is pulled in the direction of the left slide door 3L. At this time, the rollers 21, 21 'held by the swing plates 10, 10' of the upper and lower guide means G, G 'are linear guide portions 19a of the second guide rails 19, 19' (the lower side is not shown). ) And the upper and lower parallelogram links are held in the shape shown in FIG. 4, the right slide door 3 </ b> R is pulled out parallel to the front side of the storage body 2 as shown in FIG. 4. Keep state. The right slide door 3R moves to the left (arrow x in FIG. 4) as the sliders 6 and 6 ′ of the upper and lower guide means G and G ′ move along the first guide rails 5 and 5 ′, respectively. 4), and is overlapped with the left slide door 3L in front view on the front side of the left slide door 3L as shown by a chain line in FIG. 4, and the right half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is opened. (Opening 50%). Therefore, the user can take out and put tableware with good workability into the storage space in the storage body 2 from the right half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 that is wide open.

  Next, when the right half 2a of the opening of the storage body 2 in the open state is closed by the right slide door 3R, the right slide door 3R may be operated in the reverse procedure. That is, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 4, the right handle 16b (see FIG. 7) on the right side of the line handle 16 of the right slide door 3R overlapped with the left slide door 3L in front view is grasped and the right slide door 3R. Is slid rightward (in the direction of arrow x ′ in FIG. 4). Then, the right slide door 3R moves to the right limit, and the rollers 21, 21 ′ held by the swing plates 10, 10 ′ of the upper and lower guide means G, G ′ move to the second guide rails 19, 19 ′. When the engagement shifts from the linear guide portion 19a (the lower side is not shown) to the swing guide portion 19b (the lower side is not shown), the right handle 16b (see FIG. 7) of the line handle 16 is moved. When gripping and pushing the right slide door 3R inward, the swing plates 10 and 11 of the upper link mechanism G are rotated about the shafts 12 and 13 in the direction of the arrow b in FIG. 4 by the restoring force of the return spring 17. Then, the parallelogram link returns to the fully closed state shown in FIG. Similarly, the swing plates 10 'and 11' of the lower guide means G 'are also rotated in the same direction by the restoring force of the return spring 17', and the parallelogram link returns to the fully closed state.

  Thus, as described above, when the parallelogram link returns to the fully closed state, the right slide door 3R moves to the back side in parallel with the front surface of the storage body 2 as shown in FIGS. The right half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is closed, and the left and right sliding doors 3L, 3R form a flat plane. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting rod 22 for connecting the swing plates 10 and 10 ′ of the upper and lower guide means G and G ′ is a resin fitted to the upper and lower flat partition plates 4 and 4 ′. It is stored in the notch 25a of the member 25. In the present embodiment, since the damper 18 is interposed between the slider 6 of the upper guide means G and the swing plate 10, the shock at the time of closing the right slide door 3R is absorbed by the damper 18, and the right The closing operation of the sliding door 3R is performed silently.

  Although the opening / closing operation of the right slide door 3R has been described above, the opening / closing operation of the left slide door 3L is the same as that of the right slide door 3R, and the left half of the front opening 2a of the storage body 2 is the left slide door. Opened and closed by 3L.

  As described above, in the storage 1 according to the present invention, the line handle 16 is constituted by a channel-shaped member having an open front surface, and is substantially perpendicular to the inner side at both ends in the width direction on the opening side of the channel-shaped member. Since the handle portions 16a and 16b having an L-shaped cross section bent in the vertical direction are integrally formed in the vertical direction (see FIG. 7), the operation of the both handle portions 16a and 16b of the line handle 16 is performed when the sliding doors 3L and 3R are opened and closed. The sliding doors 3L and 3R can be operated by placing one hand on the other (easy to apply force), and the sliding doors 3L and 3R can be operated by applying necessary force to the sliding doors 3L and 3R in either direction. Can be opened and closed with good operability.

  In the present embodiment, the pair of upper and lower guide means G, G ′ provided on the left and right slide doors 3L, 3R are connected by the connecting rod 22 so that both guide means G, G ′ are interlocked. The left and right slide doors 3L and 3R can be opened and closed smoothly regardless of the height position of the slide doors 3L and 3R.

  Therefore, like the storage 1 according to the present invention, the line handle 16 that extends linearly in the vertical direction is attached to one end surface in the width direction of the left and right sliding doors 3L, 3R, and the protrusions do not protrude from the front surface of the storage 1. Thus, even when the operability and the design are improved, the left and right sliding doors 3L and 3R can be smoothly opened and closed regardless of the height position of the line handle 16.

  The present invention can be applied to a line handle attached to an arbitrary storage such as a kitchen closet, a bookcase, a shoebox, and a storage room and a sliding door in addition to a cupboard installed in a kitchen.
