Can be increased.
JP 2006-141737 A

  However, in the cabinet of Patent Document 1, one door slides in the lateral direction while swinging to the front side of the other door, so that when one door is opened, the door overlaps the other door. It will be in the state and will be in the state which protruded to the field of the front side of a cabinet. That is, the cabinet of Patent Document 1 has a problem that the movable area of the door is required on the front side of each door, so that the degree of freedom of arrangement in a narrow room is reduced. In particular, the door cannot interfere with the side of the toilet device in the toilet, which is a small room, because the door interferes with a water pipe protruding from the side of the toilet device.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet and a toilet unit that can improve the degree of freedom in arranging the cabinet.

  In order to achieve this object, a cabinet according to claim 1 is formed in a substantially box shape and has an opening on the front side, and a cabinet body arranged side by side so as to cover the opening of the cabinet body. The first and second doors are provided, and the first and second doors are arranged side by side substantially flush with each other when the front side is closed with respect to the cabinet body. The door is opened by sliding in a direction away from the second door and laterally with respect to the cabinet body, and the second door is opened in a state where the first door is opened. The door is opened by sliding in the horizontal direction where there was one door.

  The cabinet according to claim 2, wherein the cabinet according to claim 1 is provided on a ceiling wall and a bottom wall of the cabinet body, and the rail member is configured to be slidably movable in the lateral direction of the cabinet body. And the back side surface of the first door and the side wall of the cabinet body on the first door side, and the first door from the second door while swinging to the front side with respect to the cabinet body. A connecting member configured to be slidable in the lateral direction to be separated, and attached below the rail member provided on the bottom wall of the cabinet body in the vertical direction of the cabinet body, and the first door is the second door And a regulating member that regulates the range of sliding movement in the lateral direction away from the.

  A toilet unit according to a third aspect includes the cabinet according to the first or second aspect and a toilet device, and the cabinet has a sliding movement direction of the first and second doors in front of the toilet device. It arrange | positions so that it may be substantially parallel to the back direction, and the said 1st door is located in front of the said toilet device while the said 2nd door is located in the back of the said toilet device.

  According to the cabinet of claim 1, the opening on the front side of the cabinet body formed in a substantially box shape is covered with the first and second doors arranged in parallel in the lateral direction of the cabinet body, One door is opened by sliding and moving laterally with respect to the cabinet body in a direction away from the second door, and the second door is in a state where the first door is opened. The first door is closed by sliding in the horizontal direction. Therefore, since the cabinet is opened by sliding at least the second door in the lateral direction of the cabinet body, even if another device such as a toilet device is arranged on the front side of the second door, The second door does not interfere with other devices due to the opening operation. Therefore, since the cabinet can be arranged on the side of another device such as a toilet device in a narrow room, there is an effect that the degree of freedom in arranging the cabinet can be improved.

  In addition, since the first and second doors are slid in the same direction and opened, a corner portion in the room can be provided in the anti-sliding direction, or another cabinet or the like can be arranged. Therefore, there is an effect that the degree of freedom of arrangement in the horizontal direction of the cabinet can be sufficiently improved.

  In addition, since the front side of the first and second doors is substantially flush with the cabinet body, the width in the depth direction of the cabinet can be reduced by one door. Therefore, since the cabinet can be compactly designed in the depth direction, there is an effect that the degree of freedom in arrangement of the cabinet in the depth direction can be sufficiently improved.

  According to the cabinet of Claim 2, in addition to the effect which the cabinet of Claim 1 produces | generates, the back side surface of a 1st door and the side wall by the side of the 1st door of a cabinet main body can slide a 1st door. A regulating member that is coupled by the constituting coupling member and that regulates the range in which the first door slides is further attached below the rail member on the bottom wall of the cabinet body. Therefore, in a state where the first door is opened, the connecting member is located along the back side surface of the first door and the side wall of the cabinet body, and the regulating member is located further below the bottom wall. When taking in and out, the connecting member and the regulating member do not get in the way. Therefore, there is an effect that the stored items can be easily taken in and out.

  In addition, when the regulating member is attached between the upper and lower rail members, the second door is configured such that when the second door is slid, the regulating member is located in the movement path of the second door and becomes an obstacle. The movement range (that is, the opening range of the opening of the cabinet body) is narrowed, but the restriction member is attached further below the rail member of the bottom wall, so that the restriction member does not get in the way, The moving range of the second door can be widened. Therefore, since the opening range of the opening part of the cabinet body can be widened with the second door opened, there is an effect that it is easy to take in and out the stored items of the second door.

  Further, since the regulating member is attached further below the rail member on the bottom wall of the cabinet body, there are no obstacles above the ceiling wall of the cabinet body. Therefore, since an object can be placed on the upper surface of the ceiling wall of the cabinet body, there is an effect that the ceiling wall of the cabinet body can be used as a storeroom.

  According to the toilet unit of the third aspect, in addition to the same effect as the effect of the cabinet according to the first or second aspect, the following effect is achieved. That is, the cabinet according to claim 1 or 2 is arranged such that the sliding movement direction of the first and second doors is substantially parallel to the front and back direction of the toilet device, and the second door is located at the back of the toilet device. In addition, the first door is located in front of the toilet device. Generally, the water pipe of the toilet device is placed in a place where it is difficult to enter the user's view from the aesthetic point of view, that is, in the back of the toilet device, but the second door is located at a position facing the water pipe, Since the two doors slide only in the horizontal direction, the cabinet can be arranged on the side of the toilet device, and the degree of freedom of the cabinet arrangement in the toilet where the toilet device is arranged can be improved.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an entire toilet T in which a cabinet 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is arranged. In FIG. 1, the arrow X indicates the left-right direction of the cabinet 10 (the front and back direction of the toilet device S), and the arrow Y indicates the depth direction of the cabinet 10 (the left-right direction of the toilet device S). The arrow Z indicates the vertical direction of the cabinet 10 (toilet device S).

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the toilet T is a space surrounded by a floor surface F, four wall surfaces W (two wall surfaces W are not illustrated), and a ceiling surface (not illustrated). In the following description, among the four wall surfaces W, the inner wall surface of the toilet device S is referred to as a wall surface W1, and the lateral wall surface of the toilet device S is described as W2.

  In the toilet T, a storage shelf R is mainly located along the opposite wall surface W1 direction (the right front side in the arrow X direction) from the corner portion formed by the wall surface W1 and the wall surface W2 with the back wall adjacent to the wall surface W2. The toilet apparatus S is disposed substantially at the center in the left-right direction (arrow Y direction) of the toilet T.

  The storage shelf R has a cabinet 10 whose front surface is covered by two doors (doors 12 and 13 (see FIG. 2)) arranged side by side, a toilet paper mounting portion, and a single door for the storage portion. The central storage unit 20 has a front surface covered, and a hand-washing unit 30 having a hand-washer at the top and a water pipe, a water pipe, and the like inside.

  Next, with reference to FIG.2 and FIG.3, the structure of the cabinet 10 and the opening / closing operation | movement of the doors 12 and 13 are demonstrated. FIG. 2A is a perspective view showing the entire cabinet 10, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view showing a part of the upper rail 16 in an enlarged manner. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the door opening operation of the doors 12 and 13 attached to the cabinet 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the cabinet 10 mainly covers a cabinet main body 11 formed in a substantially box shape and an opening 11f on the front side of the cabinet main body 11 (the left front side in the arrow Y direction). In addition, doors 12 and 13 that are juxtaposed in the lateral direction (arrow X direction) of the cabinet body 11 and a connecting bracket 14 that connects the door 12 so as to be slidable in the lateral direction while swinging forward with respect to the cabinet body 11 And a restricting bracket 15 that restricts sliding movement of the door 12 and an upper rail 16 and a lower rail 17 that are configured to allow the door 13 to slide in the lateral direction.

  The cabinet body 11 is substantially box-shaped by a side wall 11a adjacent to the wall surface W1, a side wall 11b disposed opposite to the side wall 11a, a ceiling wall 11c, a bottom wall 11d, and a back wall 11e (not shown). Is formed. The cabinet body 11 is formed in a substantially box shape by the side walls 11a and 11b, the ceiling wall 11c, the bottom wall 11d and the back wall 11e, and the front side is opened by the opening 11f. In addition, the foot part 11g is attached to the bottom wall 11d of the cabinet main body 11, and the cabinet 10 is arrange | positioned by the floor part F via the foot part 11g.

  The doors 12 and 13 are arranged side by side so that the front side (the left front side in the direction of arrow Y) is substantially flush with the closed door (the state shown in FIG. 2A). Therefore, since the width of the cabinet 10 in the depth direction (arrow Y direction) can be reduced by at least one door, the cabinet 10 can be compactly designed.

  In addition, a handle 12 a that is picked when the door 12 is opened and closed is attached to the upper right side of the door 12. Here, a case where the user sitting on the toilet device S (see FIG. 1) picks up the handle 12a when the handle 12a is attached to a portion other than the upper right side of the door 12 will be described. For example, if the handle 12a is attached to the middle of the door 12 in the vertical direction, the handle 12a is positioned around the user's waist, so the user bends forward and operates in a cramped posture. Even when the handle 12a is attached to the upper left side of the door 12 and positioned at the shoulder of the user, the handle 12a moves toward the user, so that the arm is cramped, and the operability of the opening / closing operation of the door 12 is improved. descend. However, in this embodiment, since the handle 12a is attached to the upper right side of the door 12, the door 12 can be operated in a state where the posture is not cramped and the arm is not cramped. Can be improved.

  On the other hand, the handle 13a is attached to the door 13 at the upper left side. As will be described later, the door 13 is operated in a state in which the door 12 is slid and moved in the lateral direction (the right front side in the arrow Z direction). For example, when the handle 13a is attached to the right side of the door 13, the handle 13a When the user opens and closes the knob door 13, the door 12 touches the door 12, or the door 12 gets in the way and the handle 13 a is difficult to pick. However, in this embodiment, since the handle 13a is attached to the upper left side of the door 13, the occurrence of the above-described adverse effects can be suppressed, and the operability of the opening / closing operation of the door 13 can be improved.

  The connection fitting 14 includes a base portion 14a attached to the inner wall of the side wall 11b of the cabinet body 11, a connection portion 14b connected to the back side of the door 12, and a frame portion 14c for connecting the connection portion 14b and the base portion 14a. And is configured. The frame portion 14c is rotatably supported with respect to the base portion 14a and is rotatably supported with respect to the connecting portion 14b.

  The regulating bracket 15 has one end attached to the lower end portion of the door 12 and the other end attached to a foot portion 11 g below the bottom wall 11 b of the cabinet body 11. Note that the other end of the restricting bracket 15 attached to the foot portion 11g is attached to a position corresponding to the approximate center of the door 12 in the left-right direction (arrow X direction). The sliding movement of the door 12 (that is, the range in which the door 12 is opened) is restricted by the length of the restriction fitting 15.

  In addition, as shown to Fig.2 (a), the control metal fitting 15 is below the bottom wall 11d in the up-down direction (arrow Z direction) of the cabinet 10, ie, further below the lower rail 17 attached to the bottom wall 11d. Is attached.

  Further, since the door 12 is restricted by the restriction metal 15 from opening more than necessary when the door is opened, the frame portion 14c of the connection metal 14 and the side wall 11b of the cabinet body 11 are vigorous. It can suppress that it collides well and the cabinet main body 11 is damaged.

  The upper rail 16 is provided on the lower surface of the ceiling wall 11c of the cabinet body 11 (the inner surface of the cabinet body 11), and the lower rail 17 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 11d (the outer surface of the cabinet body 11). The lateral widths of the rails 16 and 17 in the left-right direction (arrow X direction) are provided almost in the entire width of the ceiling wall 11c and the bottom wall 11d (horizontal width of the cabinet body 11 in the arrow X direction). Therefore, the door 13 can be slid by the rails 16 and 17 and can slide and move in the entire left and right direction of the cabinet 10.

  The rails 16 and 17 are provided on the lower surface side of the ceiling wall 11c and the bottom wall 11d, so that it is difficult for the user to visually recognize. In particular, the lower rail 17 is provided on the lower surface side of the bottom wall 11d. Therefore, the user cannot see at all. Therefore, since each rail 16 and 17 is provided in the position where it is hard to be visually recognized by the user, the appearance of the cabinet 10 can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, a stopper member 16 a is fixed to the end portion in the upper rail 16. This stopper member 16a is provided to prevent the door 13 from sliding more than necessary when the door 13 is slid in the direction of the door 12 (the right front side in the direction of the arrow X). Therefore, since it can prevent that the door 13 slides more than necessary and collides with the connection metal fitting 14, it can suppress that the connection metal fitting 14 and the door 13 are damaged. Although illustration is omitted, the lower rail 17 is also provided with a stopper member 17 a as with the upper rail 16.

  Next, the opening operation of the doors 12 and 13 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the door 12 of the cabinet 10 is opened, first, the door 12 swings to the front side while being pulled sideways while pulling the handle 12a to the front side. The door 12 is opened by sliding in the direction (right front side in the direction of arrow X). The door 12 operates as indicated by a thick arrow in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the door 12 is opened, the connecting portion 14b and the frame portion 14c of the connecting fitting 14 are located on the back side of the door 12, and the base portion 14a is along the side wall 11b. Therefore, it does not get in the way when the stored item is taken out from the front side (the left front side in the arrow Y direction). In addition, since the regulation fitting 15 is located below the bottom wall 11d (see FIG. 2) of the cabinet body 11, it does not get in the way when trying to take out the stored item from the front side. Therefore, since there is nothing which becomes obstructive when putting in / out the storage thing of the back side of the door 12, the usability with respect to putting in / out of the storage thing can be improved.

  Further, since the restricting metal fitting 15 is attached to the lower leg portion 11 g of the cabinet body 11, there is no obstacle above the ceiling wall 11 c of the cabinet body 11. Therefore, since an object can be placed on the upper surface of the ceiling wall 11c of the cabinet body 11, the upper surface of the cabinet 10 (storage shelf R) can be used as a storeroom.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when the door 13 is opened, the handle 13a is pulled in the direction of the door 12 so that the door 13 slides on the rails 16 and 17 to move in the lateral direction (the direction of the arrow X). To the right front side), the door 12 is moved to the area where the door 12 was closed, and the door 13 is opened. The door 13 operates as indicated by a thick arrow in FIG.

  Here, for example, when the regulating bracket 15 is attached between the rails 16 and 17 in the vertical direction of the cabinet 10, when the door 13 slides, the regulating bracket 15 is positioned in the movement path of the door 13. Therefore, the opening range of the opening 11f of the cabinet body 11 is narrowed. However, in the present embodiment, the restriction fitting 15 is attached further below the lower rail 17, so that the restriction fitting 15 does not get in the way. As a result, since the range in which the door 12 slides is widened, the opening range of the opening 11f can be widened (state shown in FIG. 3B). Therefore, since it becomes easy to take in and out the stored item from the front side in a state where the door 13 is opened, it is possible to improve the usability for putting in and out the stored item. Furthermore, since the regulation bracket 15 is attached further below the lower rail 17 and connects the lower end portion of the door 12 and the foot portion 11g, the regulation bracket 15 is difficult for the user to visually recognize. The appearance can be improved.

  When the doors 12 and 13 are closed, the procedure is the reverse of the door opening operation. After the door 13 is slid in the direction toward the door 12, the door 12 is swung in the direction toward the door 13 while the door 13 is swung. This is done by sliding to the side.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the positional relationship of the arrangement of the toilet device S and the storage rack R (particularly the cabinet 10) will be described. FIG. 4 is a plan view schematically showing the positional relationship between the toilet device S and the storage rack R. As shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4A is an example of the case where the storage rack R is arranged so that the door 12 that slides and moves while swinging among the doors attached to the cabinet 10 is positioned adjacent to the wall surface W1 side. 4 (b) is an example of the case where the storage shelf R is arranged such that the door 13 is positioned on the wall surface W1 side and the door 12 is positioned next to the door 13 as in the present embodiment.

  As shown to Fig.4 (a), since the water is stored or discharged, the water supply apparatus S1 which consists of a water pipe etc. for supplying water is attached to the toilet bowl apparatus S. As shown in FIG. The water supply device S1 is disposed in a place where it is difficult to enter the user's view from an aesthetic point of view, that is, at the back of the toilet device S (position in contact with the wall surface W1) and below (position in contact with the floor surface F).

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the door 12 that slides while swinging is disposed at a position adjacent to the wall surface W1, the door 12 swings to avoid a collision between the door 12 and the water supply device S1. The water supply device S1 must be located outside the moving swing range (path indicated by a two-dot chain line). That is, the toilet device S itself must be disposed at a position away from the wall surface W2. Therefore, since the toilet device S is adjacent to the wall surface facing the wall surface W2, the user of the toilet device S receives a feeling of pressure and is difficult to sit on, so the usability for the toilet device S is extremely deteriorated. . Furthermore, since the door 12 is opened from the back of the toilet device S to the user side, the user's arm becomes cramped and the operation of opening the door 12 becomes difficult, and the usability of the cabinet also deteriorates. End up.

  However, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the door 13 is located on the wall surface W1 side and the door 12 is located next to the door 13, the door 13 disposed to face the water supply device S1 is in the lateral direction. It is merely slid, and is independent of the swing range in which the door 12 slides while swinging. Therefore, since it is not necessary to open the toilet device S and the storage rack R more than necessary, the area of the toilet T can be used effectively, and the user of the toilet device S does not feel a sense of pressure and is seated. It is not difficult, and usability for the toilet device S can be improved.

  As described above, the cabinet 10 of the present embodiment is configured to slide in the same direction when the doors 12 and 13 are opened, so that the corner portion of the toilet T can be provided in the anti-sliding direction. . Further, since one of the two doors 12 and 13 is configured to slide and move only in the lateral direction of the cabinet body 11, the door 13 is attached to the cabinet body 11 when the door 13 is opened and closed. Does not protrude to the front side. Therefore, even if the cabinet 10 is arranged on the side of the toilet device S, it does not interfere with the water supply device S1 of the toilet device S, so that the degree of freedom of arrangement of the cabinet 10 can be sufficiently secured, and the narrow space of the toilet T can be secured. It can be used effectively.

  Since the doors 12 and 13 are configured to slide in the same direction when the doors are opened, other cabinets and the like can be provided in the anti-sliding direction of the doors 12 and 13, so that the combination of the storage shelves R The degree of freedom can also be increased.

  When the door 12 is opened, the door 12 is slid in the direction away from the user seated on the toilet device S, and the door 13 is opened only in the lateral direction. Since 12 and 13 do not operate toward the user side, it is possible to prevent the operation of opening the doors 12 and 13 from becoming difficult. That is, when the user performs the door opening operation of the doors 12 and 13, it can be suppressed that the arm becomes cramped and the operation becomes difficult.

  The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be easily guessed.

  For example, in the said embodiment, although the cabinet 10 shall be arrange | positioned in the toilet T, the cabinet 10 may be arrange | positioned below the washstand, and is good also as what is arrange | positioned below and above a kitchen. Even when the cabinet 10 is used for a washstand or a kitchen, the sliding movement of the doors 12 and 13 is in the same direction and can be arranged in the corner portion, so that the degree of freedom of arrangement of the cabinet 10 can be secured.

  In the above embodiment, the door 12 of the cabinet 10 is configured to slide in the direction away from the door 13 while swinging to the front side of the cabinet body 11, but the door 12 does not swing and remains as it is. The sliding movement may be performed in a direction away from the door 13. In this configuration, an area for opening the doors 12 and 13 on the front side of the cabinet 10 is not necessary, so that the distance between the cabinet 10 and the toilet device S can be further shortened, and the space of the toilet T can be effectively used. Available. When the door 12 slides in the horizontal direction without swinging, no other cabinet or the like is disposed on the side of the cabinet 10 on the door 12 side, or the front of the other cabinet is equal to the thickness of the door 12. It is configured to be located on the back side.

It is the perspective view which showed the whole toilet in which the cabinet of one Embodiment of this invention is arrange | positioned. (A) is the perspective view which showed the whole cabinet, (b) is the perspective view which expanded and showed a part of upper rail. It is the perspective view which showed the door opening operation | movement of the door attached to a cabinet.
