Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-36205

  However, the above-described conventional example has a drawback that cleaning is difficult and maintainability is difficult because the luggage platform is maintained at a predetermined position so as to form the bottom wall of the luggage storage chamber.

  Further, in the above-described conventional example, since the luggage platform is connected to the bottom surface of the luggage storage room so as not to be detached, the luggage platform cannot be removed, and cleaning, replacement when damaged, etc. are easily performed. There is also the disadvantage that it cannot be done.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rocker device with improved maintainability.

  The rocker device is formed by closing the opening of the luggage storage chamber 2 provided in the device housing 1 with a door 5 so as to be freely opened, and is used while the closed state is maintained by the lock device 6. On the bottom wall portion of the luggage storage chamber 2, a luggage platform 4 that is held at an initial position by an appropriate biasing means and moves to the luggage detection position by the weight of the stored luggage 3 when the stored luggage 3 is loaded is disposed. .

  The lock control device 7 is movable between a lock restriction position and a restriction release position with respect to the lock device 6, and restricts a locking operation with respect to the lock device 6 at the lock restriction position. The restriction on the locking operation may be a stopper that acts directly on the locking device 6 or when the locking device 6 that can be locked only in the closed state is used, the door 5 is brought into the closed state. The transition may be restricted, and the transition of the lock device 6 to the locked state may be indirectly restricted.

  In the present invention in which the load platform 4 is detachable from the device housing 1, the load platform 4 can be removed from the device housing 1 for cleaning as necessary, or can be replaced when damaged. Therefore, maintainability is improved.

  It is desirable that the load platform 4 is arranged so that the rear end edge side is the center of swinging so that it can be swung reliably even if the stored luggage 3 is unevenly distributed near the entrance.

In addition, the rocker device with improved maintainability
Locking legs 8 and 9 formed at the front and rear end edges are locked to the device casing 1 and disposed in the luggage storage chamber 2 in the apparatus casing 1, and the stored luggage 3 accommodated in the luggage storage chamber 2 is It has a load platform 4 to support,
A locking leg 9 on the rear end edge side of the load platform 4 is elastically locked to the apparatus housing 1, and a free end of the lock leg 9 protrudes from the upper surface of the load platform 4 and An unlocking operation piece 10 for performing the unlocking operation of the locking leg 9 is extended,
By operating the locking release operation piece 10, the locking leg 9 on the rear end edge side is unlocked, and the luggage platform 4 can be moved to a forward tilted posture swinging around the locking leg 8 on the front end edge side. Can be configured.

  With this configuration, after the locking leg 9 on the rear end edge side is unlocked by a simple operation, the rear end edge part is pivoted about the locking part between the locking leg 8 on the front end edge side and the apparatus main body. Since the load platform 4 can be tilted forward by lifting, dust, water, etc. on the load platform 4 can be easily swept out of the luggage storage chamber 2 from the front edge side in this posture.

  Further, when a dust fall prevention flange 12 is projected upward on the entire periphery except for the front edge of the luggage platform 4, the luggage platform is provided with a psychological effect that prompts the user to place the accommodated luggage 3 in the center. The physical effect of guiding the stored luggage 3 placed on the peripheral edge 4 to the central part is exhibited. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent malfunctions caused by the stored luggage 3 sliding on the inner wall of the luggage storage chamber 2.

  In addition, by providing the dust fall prevention flange 12 on the entire periphery excluding the front end edge, it is possible to discharge dust from the front end edge, and from the side edge of the luggage platform 4 such as dust when swept out. It is possible to prevent the dust from falling.

  According to the present invention, since dust, water, and the like on the luggage platform can be easily swept out and cleaned, maintainability can be improved. In addition, when the load platform is detachably attached to the device casing, cleaning and the like can be performed in a state where it is removed from the device casing, and it can be replaced when the load platform is damaged. Can be further improved.

  An embodiment of the present invention configured as a shoe locker is shown below in FIG. The shoe locker is installed in a leisure center or the like to keep the lower legs of the visitors, and is formed by dividing the inside of the device housing 1 into a plurality of luggage storage chambers 2 by a partition plate 1a and a bottom wall plate 1b.

  The side wall plate 1c of the apparatus housing 1 or the edge of the partition plate 1a is bent to form a column portion 1d penetrating vertically, and a column portion 1d positioned at the corner of the front edge of each luggage storage chamber 2 is formed.

A hinge receiving member 1e for connecting the door 5 so as to be horizontally rotatable is fixed to one of the column portions 1d positioned at the left and right corners of each luggage storage chamber 2 (see FIG. 1B).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, locking holes 13 are formed in the vicinity of the four corners of the bottom wall plate 1 b of each luggage storage chamber 2, and the locking legs 8 and 9 are locked in these locking holes 13. A luggage carrier 4 is mounted. As will be described later, the load platform 4 swings by placing the storage load 3 in the state of being mounted in the load storage chamber 2, and accordingly, the locking leg 8 on the front edge side moves up and down. When the movement of the locking leg 8 penetrating the locking hole 13 and projecting into the lower luggage storage chamber 2 is hindered by interference with the stored luggage 3 stored in the lower luggage storage chamber 2, the luggage platform 4 Swinging, that is, detection of the stored luggage 3 becomes impossible. In order to prevent this, the locking hole 13 is formed in a bent portion 14 having a U-shaped cross section formed at the front edge of the bottom wall plate 1b so that the locking leg 8 stiffens the bottom wall plate 1b. It is provided at a protruding position (see FIG. 3).

  The luggage carrier 4 is an injection-molded product made of a synthetic resin material, and the front end portion is formed narrower than the rear end portion. A dust fall prevention flange 12 projects upward from the periphery of the luggage platform 4 excluding the front edge, and an appropriate number of projections 15 project from the center of the upper surface. The ridge 15 is provided to prevent contact with the luggage platform 4 over the entire back surface of the shoe (contained luggage 3), and is extended in the front-rear direction so that the sweeping operation is easy.

  In order to prevent the dust, water, and the like swept from the load platform 4 from flowing out to the bottom wall plate 1b, the front edge of the load platform 4 is positioned forward relative to the front edge of the bottom wall plate 1b. The cover piece 16 is suspended from the edge.

  The locking legs 8 and 9 for connecting the load platform 4 to the bottom wall plate 1b project downward from the back surface of the load platform 4 and the locking legs 9 located at the rear edge are locked. The locking leg 8 which is elastically locked in the hole 13 and located at the front end edge is locked in the locking hole 13 with a sliding motion. In this embodiment in which the luggage platform 4 is formed of a synthetic resin material, the locking leg 9 formed as a bullet locking leg is formed integrally extending from the back surface of the luggage platform 4, What was separately formed with the spring board material etc. can also be fixed by an appropriate means.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, one of the locking legs 8, 9 positioned at the front end edge of the luggage platform 4 includes a locking claw 18 that protrudes laterally from the lower end of the leg portion 17. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the locking hole 13 corresponding to the locking leg 8 has a widened portion 13a that widens outward at the rear end portion, and the locking claw 18 is formed in the widened portion 13a. After the insertion, as shown by an arrow in FIG. 3B, the locking claw 18, that is, the entire luggage platform 4 is slid forward and attached. By the sliding operation of the locking claw 18, the locking claw 18 is locked to the periphery of the narrow portion 13 b of the locking hole 13, and thereafter the detachment is restricted.

  On the other hand, the locking leg 9 on the rear edge side includes a locking claw 18 protruding backward from the tip of the U-shaped leg 17 projecting downward, and a locking release extending upward from the tip of the leg 17. And an operation piece 10. Mounting of the locking leg 9 is performed by pressing the locking claw 18 against the locking hole 13, and the locking claw 18 is moved in the locking hole 13 by the elastic deformation of the leg 17 once inward by the pressing operation. After that, it is elastically locked into the locking hole 13 as the leg portion 17 returns to its original position.

  In the mounting state on the bottom wall plate 1b, the unlocking operation piece 10 protrudes from the front of the bottom wall plate 1b. The 18 locked state can be easily released. As shown in FIG. 3, in order to prevent mischief of the lock release operation piece 10 by the rocker user, the dust fall prevention flange 12 is formed with a high rear end edge, and the lock release operation piece 10 is covered. .

  A spring 19 is interposed between the load platform 4 and the bottom wall plate 1b configured as described above, and applies an upward biasing force to the load platform 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the luggage platform 4 in FIG. 3 centering on the locking portion between the locking claw 18 of the locking leg 9 on the rear edge side and the bottom wall plate 1 b by the upward biasing force of the spring 19. It swings clockwise and is held at the position where the locking leg 8 on the front edge side is locked to the bottom wall plate 1b.

  When the shoe 3 is placed on the luggage platform 4 from this state, the luggage platform 4 reaches the luggage detection position where the front edge sinks around the engagement portion between the engagement leg 9 on the rear edge side and the bottom wall plate 1b. When the shoe 3 is swung and the shoe 3 is removed, it returns to the initial position by the restoring force of the spring 19. In addition, when the load table 4 becomes dirty or damaged, the locking legs 8 and 9 at the front and rear end edges are released, and the load table 4 is completely removed from the housing of the apparatus and cleaned and replaced. Can do. In order to remove the load carrier 4, first, the locking leg 9 on the rear end edge side is unlocked by operating the locking release piece 10, and then, as shown by the arrow in FIG. This can be done by sliding.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), while the locking leg 8 on the front end edge side is locked, the locking leg 9 on the rear end edge side is released and lifted to tilt the load platform 4 forward. As a result, dust, water and the like on the upper surface can be easily swept out.

  In addition, although the compression coil spring is used for the spring 19 in the above, as shown in FIG. 8, the wire processing spring which bent the elastic wire materials, such as a piano wire, can be used. In this embodiment, the wire processing spring is formed in a U-shape, and the free end is fixed to the rear end edge of the load carrier 4.

  On the other hand, a lock device 6 holding a plug 6b in a lock case 6a is fixed to the door 5. The plug 6b can be rotated between the locking and unlocking rotation positions only by the genuine unlocking key 11, and the unlocking key 11 can be removed only when the plug 6b is in the locking and unlocking rotation position.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the lock case 6a accommodates a rotation lever 6c that is driven to rotate by a rotation operation to the plug 6b, and a dead bolt 20 that is driven to translate by the rotation lever 6c. The tip of the dead bolt 20 is housed in the lock case 6a in the unlocked state shown in FIG. 6 (a). From this state, the plug 6b and the rotating lever 6c are rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 6 (a). When moved to the locking rotation position, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), it pops out from the lock case 6a (locking position). In this locked state, the dead bolt 20 is locked to the column 1d of the apparatus housing, and thereafter the opening operation to the door 5 is restricted.

  The rocker device further includes a lock control device 7 for controlling the locking / unlocking operation of the lock device 6. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the lock control device 7 includes a stopper control body 21 that can move in the vertical direction along the support column 1 d of the device housing 1, and a dead bolt stopper 22. As shown in FIG. 4, the stopper control body 21 has a protruding portion 21 a supported by a table-side protruding portion 4 a protruding from the side wall of the luggage platform 4 at the lower end, and the locking device 6. An appropriately long detection recess 21b is formed on the surface of the, and moves up and down in synchronism with the swinging motion of the luggage platform 4.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the dead bolt stopper 22 is incorporated in the lock case 6a in a state in which the detection portion 22a is projected outside the lock case 6a. As shown in FIG. 7, the dead bolt stopper 22 includes an interference protrusion 22b, and rotates around the pivot axis 22c between the lock restriction position shown in FIG. 7A and the restriction release position shown in FIG. 7C. The shaft is freely supported and is urged toward the lock regulating position by the torsion spring 23.

  The interference protrusion 22b of the dead bolt stopper 22 restricts the movement of the stopper protrusion 20a formed on the dead bolt 20 to the lock position side at the lock restricting position, and restricts the locking operation on the lock device 6. On the other hand, when the deadbolt stopper 22 is in the restriction release position, the interference protrusion 22b retreats from the movement path of the stopper projection 20a on the deadbolt 20 side and allows the deadbolt 20 to move to the locking position side.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the luggage carrier 4 takes a posture in which the front end is raised in a state where the shoes 3 are not placed, and as a result, the stopper control body 21 is pushed upward. In this state, the detection concave portion 21b of the stopper control body 21 matches the protruding position of the detection portion 22a of the dead bolt stopper 22, as shown in FIG.

  When the door 5 is closed in a state where the shoes 3 are not placed on the luggage platform 4, first, as shown in FIG. 7B, the detection unit 22 a comes into contact with the column 1 d of the apparatus housing. When the door 5 is further pushed in, the dead bolt stopper 22 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 7 (b) so as to release the interference with the column 1d and moves toward the restriction release position. When the pushing operation of the door 5 is further continued and the dead bolt stopper 22 passes through the support column 1d, the dead bolt stopper 22 rotates again clockwise by the restoring force of the torsion spring 23 as shown in FIG. It moves to the lock restriction position with the try operation. As described above, when the dead bolt stopper 22 is in the lock restricting position, the lock operation of the plug 6b becomes impossible, and accordingly, the unlocking key 11 is prohibited from being removed, and the use of the rocker is substantially restricted. Is done.

On the other hand, when the shoe 3 is placed on the luggage platform 4, the detection recess 21b of the stopper control body 21 is moved from the position facing the dead bolt stopper 22, and when the door 5 is closed in this state. As shown in FIG. 7C, the dead bolt stopper 22 is held in the restriction release position without being released from the interference with the stopper control body 21 even in the door closing posture. As described above, in the restriction release position, the dead bolt 20 can be moved to the locking position. When the locking device 6 is locked, the unlocking key 11 can be removed and the rocker can be used. Become.
