Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet having a flip-up rotary door.

  A cabinet having a flip-up and pivoting door is generally made of a steel plate, and the door can be pushed into the cabinet body and stored when the door is flipped up and turned to a horizontal position.

In this type of cabinet, a door is provided with a magazine rack function. That is, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the door in the closed state is tilted backward in a side view, and a handle having a magazine supporting function is provided at the lower end of the door so as to extend over the entire length of the left and right. Thus, magazines and catalogs can be displayed on the closed door. In this case, since the handle protrudes from the front surface of the door, the handle remains exposed to the outside without being housed inside the cabinet body even when the door is in a horizontal posture.
JP 2001-161464 A

  Since the doors are visible to the public in the cabinet, high cosmetics must be maintained. On the other hand, in steel doors, for example, attachment members may be welded, for example, a reinforcing material is welded or brackets are welded, but the marks appear on the surface when welding. Therefore, conventionally, as a method for ensuring the cosmetic function of a steel door, painting is generally performed after the steel door is assembled.

  On the other hand, as a steel sheet, a color steel sheet having a decorative color layer or a decorative pattern layer formed on the surface by plating or baking, or a corrugated sheet (steel sheet) having a decorative layer and a corrugated cross-sectional shape is commercially available. If it is possible to use a steel sheet that has been subjected to cosmetic treatment for the door, it can be said that the labor of painting can be saved and the manufacturing efficiency of the cabinet can be improved. However, when these coated steel sheets are welded, the decorative layer at that portion is discolored or peeled off, so that there is a problem that they cannot be replaced with conventional steel as they are.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to use a decorative plate such as a decorative steel plate for a door without omitting a welding process.

  The present invention relates to a cabinet, and the cabinet includes a cabinet main body and a door that covers the opening of the cabinet main body, the door includes a steel plate base material, and the base at the lower end of the base material. The handle that covers the lower end of the material is arranged so as to extend almost the entire length on the left and right, and it is opened by a person placing a hand on the handle and flipping it up around the top of the base material. The basic configuration is. The invention of claim 1 is characterized in that, in the basic configuration, a cover plate covering the front surface of the base material of the door is attached.

  The present invention is suitable for a cabinet having a magazine rack function, and this point is specified as the invention of claim 2. That is, the invention of claim 1 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the interior of the cabinet body is divided into a plurality of upper and lower storage areas by arranging one or more shelves, while the door is A plurality of doors are arranged so as to cover openings at locations corresponding to the storage areas, and the doors are arranged in a tilted rearward view in a closed state with the storage areas closed. When the door is closed, the magazines can be supported and displayed with a handle.Furthermore, each door is flipped upward and turned to a horizontal position so that most of the door is placed inside the cabinet body. A holding piece which is attached to the cabinet main body by a sliding means with a hinge device so as to be able to be pushed and stored, and which holds the base material at the left and right side ends and the upper end of the cover plate in the door Are formed integrally, the cover plate is fitted from above the base member.

  As long as the cover plate of the present invention has a cosmetic function, the material is not limited. For example, a resin member can be used, but various conditions such as high cosmetic properties, durability, economy, and workability are available. In view of the above, a color steel plate or a corrugated plate is preferable as described in claim 3.

  In the present invention, various methods can be adopted as means for attaching the cover plate to the base material (holding the cover plate so as not to be detached). For example, a snap that uses elastic deformation of a member such as fixing with fasteners such as rivets and screws (and nuts), or fitting between engagement claws and engagement holes (or catching between engagement claws) An engagement means or the like can be employed. Further, when the fitting method as in claim 2 is adopted, fixing means such as a fastener is not necessarily required. In particular, in the case of a structure in which the pressing bar penetrates the cover plate and the base material as in the embodiment, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to provide a special fixing means in order for the pressing bar to prevent the cover plate from coming off. On the other hand, the base material may be a plate shape or a frame shape.

  In the present invention, since the base material of the door is hidden behind the cover plate and cannot be seen in a normal state (the door is closed), the base material can be welded or pierced to ensure the strength and the function of attaching other members. Various processing can be performed. That is, the base material can be specialized for the function as a strength member, and the cover plate can be specialized for the function as a cosmetic member, which makes the door high without causing problems such as strength reduction and ease of processing. A cosmetic function can be maintained.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the left and right end portions and the upper end portion of the base material are covered with the cover plate and the lower end surface is covered with the handle, the base material is particularly excellent in the cosmetic function. . Further, since the holding pieces are formed on the left and right end portions and the upper end portion of the cover plate, there is an advantage that the holding pieces exhibit a rib effect and have a robust structure as a whole door.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the cover plate is fitted into the base material from the upper end thereof. Therefore, the cover plate can be easily attached to the base material, and the lower end surface of the cover plate is gripped. The appearance is not deteriorated because it is covered with and not exposed to the outside.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is applied to a cabinet having a magazine rack function. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the entire cabinet, and FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1. First, the outline of the cabinet will be described with reference to both drawings.

(1). Outline of Cabinet The cabinet is mainly composed of a cabinet body 1 that opens forward, and upper, middle, and lower three-stage doors 2 that are arranged in the opening of the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is made of a steel plate and has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with left and right outer plates 3, a top plate 4, a bottom plate 5 and a back plate 6, and a two-stage shelf plate 7 is arranged inside. Has been. Therefore, the interior of the cabinet body 1 is divided into three upper and lower storage areas 8, and the doors 2 are arranged corresponding to the respective storage areas 8. A reinforcing plate 9 is fixed to the inner surface of the side plate 3 of the cabinet body 1, and the shelf plate 7 is supported by the reinforcing plate 9.

  The door 2 enters the interior of the cabinet body 1 in a closed state with a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and is inclined slightly rearward with respect to the vertical line when viewed from the side. The lower end portions of the upper and lower doors 2 are in contact with the front surface of the shelf board 7 so that the closed position is maintained. For this reason, the front surface of the shelf board 7 is located deeper than the front surface of the cabinet body 1. Further, a downward step portion 5 a into which the lower end portion of the lower door 2 enters is formed at the front portion of the bottom plate 5 in the cabinet body 1.

  Each door 2 can be swung up and rotated to a horizontal posture centering on the upper portion thereof, and most of the door 2 can be pushed into the cabinet body 1 and stored in the horizontal posture. For this reason, left and right sliders 10 are respectively attached to the back surfaces of the doors 2 near the upper ends via hinge devices (described later), and the sliders 10 can slide back and forth on the left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body 1. A guide rail 11 fitted to is attached. Therefore, in this embodiment, the slider 10 and the guide rail 11 each form part of the sliding means described in the claims.

  A plate-like handle 12 having a pulling function for opening and closing and a supporting function for magazines and catalogs in a closed state is fixed to the lower end of each door 2. The handle 12 extends over substantially the entire length of the door 2. Each door 2 is provided with a holding bar 13 for holding magazines and catalogs so that the magazines and catalogs do not fall off or fly away. The holding bar 13 is made of a wire rod, and extends to the left and right at a substantially middle height portion of the door 2.

(2) Details of the door Next, details of the door 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 is a partially broken perspective view, FIG. 4A is a partial front view, FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. (A) is a sectional view taken along the line VIA-VIA in FIG. 5, (B) is a sectional view taken along the line VIB-VIB in FIG. 5, and (A) is a partially broken view of the end of the door 2 in FIG. A rear view, (B) is a sectional view taken along line BB of (A), and (C) is a sectional view taken along line CC of (A). In the following description, the words “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “front”, and “back” are used to specify the direction. These words are based on the state in which the door 2 is closed. (Thus, when the horizontal posture is used as a reference, the top and bottom are replaced by the front and back.)

  For example, as can be easily understood from FIG. 3, the door 2 includes a rectangular base material 15 and a rectangular cover plate 16 covering the front surface thereof as basic components. A hand 12 and a holding bar 13 are attached. The base material 15 is made of an unpainted steel plate (iron plate) and has a form (size) that can function as the door 2 by itself, and a lower folded portion 17 is formed at the lower end by bending. In addition, side folded portions 18 are formed at the left and right ends, and an upper folded portion 19 is formed at the upper end.

  The side folded portion 18 and the upper folded portion 19 are only folded into an L shape from the base portion of the base material 15, and the protruding dimension of the upper folded portion 19 is smaller than the protruding dimension of the side folded portion 18. ing. On the other hand, the lower folded portion 17 basically has a lower piece 17a and a lip piece 17b rising from the tip thereof, and forms a bowl-like shape with the base portion of the side folded portion 18. . In addition, the projecting dimension of the lower piece 17a in the lower folded part 17 is basically larger than the projecting dimension of the side folded part 18, but the left and right side parts of the lower piece 17a are slightly different from the side folded part 18 in the range. The cut portion 17a 'is aligned with the same protruding dimension.

  On the other hand, the cover plate 16 is made of a color steel plate such as a galvanized steel plate, and its base portion is sized to completely cover the front surface of the base material 15, and side folded portions 18 of the base material 15 are provided at the left and right ends. The side holding part 20 to be covered is formed by bending, and an upper holding part 21 for covering the upper folded part 19 of the base material 15 is formed by bending at the upper end, and the side holding part 20 and the upper holding part 21 are While the shape itself is L-shaped, the lower end of the cover plate 16 is cut and aligned, so that the cover plate 16 can be fitted into the side folded portion 18 from above.

  The side folded portion 18 of the base material 15 and the side holding piece 20 of the cover plate 16 are fixed by a rivet 22 at the front portion thereof. For this reason, a hole 23 into which the rivet 22 is fitted is formed in the side folded portion 18 of the base material 15 and the side holding piece 20 of the cover plate 16. Further, through holes 24 for attaching the pressing bar 13 are provided in the portions near the left and right ends of the base material 15 and the cover plate 16, and the side folding portions 18 of the base material 15 and the side holding of the cover plate 16 are held. A window hole 25 located at substantially the same height as the through hole 24 is open to the piece 20. The through hole 24 and the window hole 25 are vertically elongated long holes (the significance of which will be described later).

  The grip 12 is a sheet metal product or aluminum extruded product made of steel plate or color steel, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7A, on the lower surface of the base material 15 (lower surface of the lower folded portion 17). It protrudes in front of the cover plate 16 in an overlapping state, and a finger hooking portion 12a having a cylindrical cross section is bent at the front end edge. Further, a holding portion 27 for holding the lower folded portion 17 of the base material 15 is formed at the rear end edge of the handle 12 by bending. The holding portion 27 has an upright piece 27a and an upper lip 27b extending forward from the upper end thereof, and is formed in a bowl shape with a downward opening. As shown in FIG. 3, the upright piece 27a and the upper lip 27b The left and right ends are notched.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 7A and 7B, a cushion material 28 that is in contact with the front surface of the shelf board 7 is attached to the left and right ends of the upright piece 27a of the holding portion 27 in the handle 12. The cover plate 16 is fixed to the base material 15 by spot welding. In this case, it is preferable to weld the lip piece 17b of the lower folded portion 17 of the base material 15 and the standing piece 27a of the holding portion 27 of the cover plate 16 in order to prevent the appearance from deteriorating due to welding.

  The holding bar 13 includes a horizontally long base portion 13a that overlaps the front surface of the cover plate 16, a downward foot portion 13b that is bent at both right and left ends, and an attachment portion 13c that extends from the lower end of the foot portion 13b toward the back side. The attachment portion 13c is inserted into the cover plate 16 and the through hole 24 of the base material 15, and the foot portion 13b and the attachment portion 13c form an L shape in a side view.

  A bracket plate 29 having a rearward support piece 29a is fixed to the position of the through hole 24 on the back surface of the base material 15 by welding, and a portion near the tip of the mounting portion 13c of the presser bar 13 is divided horizontally and horizontally. The pins 30 are connected. Therefore, the holding bar 13 can be rotated back and forth around the split pin 30.

  In this case, the lower end of the foot portion 13b is separated from the cover plate 16, and therefore the foot portion 13b is inclined with respect to the cover plate 16 in a side view when the base portion 13a of the presser bar 13 contacts the cover plate 16. ing. When the presser bar 13 is rotated forward, a space is opened between the base 13a of the presser bar 13 and the cover plate 16, and exhibits such as magazines and catalogs can be taken in and out.

  In order to allow rotation of the presser bar 13, the through hole 24 is a vertically elongated slot, and the side folded portion 18 of the base material 15 and the side holding piece 20 of the cover plate 16 In order to allow the split pin 30 to be inserted, the aforementioned window hole 25 is vacant.

  The front end portion (rear end portion) of the attachment portion 13 c in the presser bar 13 is flattened, and a tension spring 31 is provided between the front end portion of the attachment portion 13 c and the upper lip 27 of the holding portion 27 in the grip 12. It is connected. Accordingly, the holding bar 13 is urged by the spring 31 so that the base portion 13 a contacts the cover plate 16, and the exhibit can be inserted and removed by rotating it against the spring 31.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a horizontally long reinforcing frame 32 made of a steel plate is fixed to the upper inner surface of the base material 15 by welding. A hinge device 32 is fixed to the reinforcing frame 32, and the hinge device 32 is fixed to the hinge device 32. The aforementioned slider 10 is fixed. Needless to say, the hinge device 32 has two flaps 32b and 32c connected by a hinge pin 32a, and one flap 32b is fixed to the reinforcing frame 32 with screws. The hinge device 32 and the slider 10 can be integrated.

(3) Summary / Others As described above, since the portion of the base material 15 that is visible to the human eye in the normal state is covered with the cover plate 16 and the handle 12, There is no need to consider aesthetics when assembling, so that the efficiency of processing and assembly can be improved. Since the cover plate 16 does not need to be so strong, a thickness of about 0.6 mm is sufficient, for example.

  In the present embodiment, in assembling the door 2, the reinforcement frame 32 and the bracket plate 29 and the handle 12 are fixed to the base material 15 → the cover plate 16 is attached → the press bar 13 is attached → the spring 31 is attached. In this case, a configuration in which one end of the spring 31 is hooked on the upper lip 27b of the holding portion 27 of the grip 12 is adopted, and a cut portion 17a ′ is formed on the lower folded portion 17 of the base material 15. If this is formed, there is an advantage that the spring 31 can be easily hooked.

  When the presser bar 13 is pivoted as in the present embodiment, a bracket piece for supporting the presser bar 13 so as to be pivotable can be cut and raised on the base material 15. Further, a torsion spring can be used as the biasing spring. Further, it is possible to reduce the weight by forming a large cut-out hole in the base material 15, or it is possible to have a frame structure in which the base material 15 has only a framework. It is also possible to fix the grip and the base material 15 or the cover plate 16 with fasteners such as rivets.
