Description

  The present invention relates to an article storage tool and article storage furniture.

  Conventionally, there is a so-called slide bookcase that can accommodate as many books as compactly as possible. This book shelf has a two-stage configuration of a fixed book shelf and a book shelf that slides in the horizontal direction in front of the fixed book shelf. However, since this type of slide bookcase is wide, it requires a wide installation place. Also, since books can be seen from the outside, it is difficult to achieve harmony with other furniture.

  In order to further improve such points, a book shelf as described in the following document has been proposed. In this bookcase, the movable bookcase is accommodated on the base at the bottom of the housing with the side face in front, and the front is closed with a front lid plate. The movable book shelf and the front cover plate are connected by an elastic member such as a spring. When the movable book shelf is accommodated on the base, the spring (elastic member) extends so that the front cover plate does not open. The front lid is pulled with a fairly large elastic force. On the other hand, the movable bookshelf can be pulled out, and the movable bookshelf is moved forward, the front cover plate is brought down in front of the base, and further on the back surface of the front cover plate and on the rails provided on the base The movable bookshelf can be moved and moved onto the back surface of the front lid plate. And when storing the movable bookcase on the base from the state where it was pulled out on the back of the front cover plate, the tension of the spring is used and the front cover plate is moved in conjunction with the movement of the movable bookcase in the direction of the base. Pull up and close the front lid.

  By the way, in this conventional example, if the tension of the elastic member is too strong, the front cover plate is pulled up suddenly and gives a large impact to the housing, and if it is too weak, when the movable book shelf is accommodated, It is difficult to adjust the tension of the elastic member for smoothly operating the front cover plate, such as the cover plate being half-opened.

  Further, even if the tension of the elastic member is optimally adjusted at the beginning of use, the tension may be weakened during use, and the front lid plate may not be operated smoothly.

  The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even after repeated use, the bookcase that can smoothly move the front cover plate according to the movement of the movable bookcase, as well as the beginning of use, and others The article storage tool and the article storage furniture are provided.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, according to one aspect of the present invention, a base including a rail, an article storage body including a caster that runs on the rail of the base, and a rail on the base side on the back surface A front cover plate of the article storage body provided with an extension rail connectable to the base, and the front cover plate and the base are hinged to the base so as to open and close the front of the article storage body. A hinge means that allows the front lid plate to rotate, a biasing member that biases the front lid plate in a closing direction via the hinge means, and the article storage body and the front lid plate are connected to each other. There is provided an article storage device comprising: an article storage body; and a support member that moves according to the movement of the front cover plate and supports the front cover plate.

  For example, it is assumed that the support member is in a fully extended state when the article storage body is completely stored on the base. When the article storage body is pulled forward on the rail from this state, the article storage body moves forward while pushing down the front lid plate against the biasing force of the biasing member. When the article storage body has advanced to some extent, the front caster rides on the back surface of the front lid plate, and the weight of the article storage body is applied to the front lid plate. During this time, the support member moves in accordance with the movement between the movable bookcase and the front cover plate. Thereafter, the entire article storage body is pulled out on the back surface of the front lid plate. Also during this time, the support member moves according to the movement of the article storage body. Next, when storing the article storage body on the base, when the article storage body is pushed back toward the base on the rail on the back surface of the front lid plate, the article storage body is completely stored on the base. Slightly before this, the weight of the article storage body does not hang on the front lid plate. As a result, the front cover plate is urged by the urging member and starts to rotate so as to close the front of the article storage body. Therefore, when the article storage body is further retracted, the front cover plate also stands with it. . When the entire article storage body is stored on the base, the front lid plate closes and the original storage state is restored. In this state, the support member supports the front lid plate. Unlike an elastic member such as a spring, the support member is useful because it does not weaken the force to support the front lid plate even after repeated use.

  As described above, the urging member and the support member cooperate with each other so that the front cover plate can be operated smoothly according to the movement of the movable bookcase.

  Further, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an article storage furniture in which one or more of the above-described article storage tools are stored in a casing opened frontward.

  In the article storage furniture, since the front of the article storage body is covered with the front lid plate, it is indistinguishable from general furniture such as chiffon, so even if the article storage furniture is arranged side by side with the general furniture, It can maintain harmony in appearance.

  According to the article storage device of one aspect of the present invention, the urging member that urges the front lid plate in the direction of closing the front of the article storage body and the support member that supports the front lid plate cooperate, The front cover plate can be smoothly operated according to the movement of the movable bookcase in the same manner as the beginning of use even after repeated use.

  In addition, according to the article storage furniture of another aspect of the present invention, even if the article storage furniture is arranged side by side with the general furniture, the appearance can be kept in harmony, so the degree of freedom of arrangement increases and the usability is good. .

(2) Description of Configuration and Operation of Movable Bookcase According to First Embodiment of the Invention Next, the configuration and operation of the movable bookcase 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a side perspective view showing a state where the entire movable bookcase 3 is accommodated in the bookcase 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the movable book shelf 3 is usually housed in the housing 2, and the front of the book shelf 1 is closed with the front cover plate 9 standing to cover the movable book shelf 3.

  The front lid plate 9 is hinged to a base 15 of the housing 2 by a hinge 16, and a coil spring (biasing member) 17 is attached to the hinge 16. The structure of the hinge 16 and the coil spring 17 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the coil spring 17 depicts only the coils at both ends, but the coil also exists in the portion indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and is formed integrally with the coils at both ends. The front cover plate 9 is urged by the coil spring 17 in the direction of closing the front of the bookcase 1. As the urging member 17, another member having the same function may be used instead of the coil spring.

  Further, a support member 18 that connects the movable bookcase 3 and the front lid plate 9 is provided. One end of the support member 18 is attached to the lower side of the rear side of the movable bookcase 3, and the other end is attached to the lower side of the front lid plate 9. The structure of the support member 18 is shown in FIG. The support member 18 is configured by connecting one end portions of, for example, two metallic long and narrow plate-like members 18a and 18b, and is stopped by the connecting portion 18c so that the plate-like members 18a and 18b rotate. Yes. Note that the rotation means that it can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise. Instead of the elongated plate-like members 18a and 18b, elongated rod-like members may be used. The left plate member 18a shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a protrusion 18d closer to the tip than the connecting portion 18c, and the right plate member 18b shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a recess 18e into which the protrusion 18d is fitted. It has been. With this configuration, the support member 18 can be bent via the connecting portion 18c, but the bending stops when the projection 18d is fitted into the recess 18e. That is, the support member 18 can be bent only in one direction (upper side in FIG. 5). In the figure, reference numerals 18f and 18g denote holes (fixed portions) formed at both ends of the support member 18, respectively, and pass a stopper such as a hook to fix the support member 18 to the front lid plate 9 and the movable bookcase 3. .

  The support member 18 is attached to the movable bookcase 3 fully accommodated in the housing 2 and the fully closed front cover plate 9 in a state where it is extended to the maximum, and is bent only on the upper side, and on the lower side. It is attached so that it does not bend. Thereby, since the support member 18 bends only upward while the movable book shelf 3 is moving, the bending operation of the support member 18 becomes smooth, whereby the movable book shelf 3 to which the support member 18 is attached and the front lid plate 9. The movement is smooth.

  The support member 18 is made of metal, but other materials may be used as long as the strength is sufficient. Further, the length of the support member 18 and the attachment position to the movable bookcase 3 and the front lid plate 9 can be adjusted as appropriate. The plate-like members 18a and 18b constituting the support member 18 may not only have the same length, but may have different lengths.

  When the movable book shelf 3 is pulled out from the base 15, the movable book shelf 3 is manually pulled out from the state in which the movable book shelf 3 is completely accommodated in the book shelf 1, as shown in FIG. As the movable book shelf 3 moves forward, the front caster 19 and the rear caster 20 of the movable book shelf 3 rotate on the metal rail 21 formed on the base 15 and move forward. The front lower portion 3 pushes the front cover plate 9 forward against the urging force of the urging member 17, whereby the front cover plate 9 rotates and falls. The cross section of the rail 21 has a concave shape, and the casters 19 and 20 on both sides proceed through the concave portion, so that they do not come off the rail 21. Two rails are laid on the base 15, but the second is not shown. Note that a convex rail may be used instead of the concave rail. In this case, the casters 19 and 20 are provided with a groove into which the rail enters in the contact surface with the rail.

  When the front lid plate 9 has fallen considerably, the front casters 19 begin to move onto the extension rails 22 formed on the back surface of the front lid plate 9. Further, the movable book shelf 3 moves forward, and as shown in FIG. 7, when the front caster 19 has completely moved onto the front cover plate 9, the weight of the movable book shelf 3 is sufficiently increased and the front cover plate 9 is fully collapsed. The back surface is flush with the top surface of the base 15. At this time, the extension rail 22 is completely connected to the rail 21.

  While the movable book shelf 3 moves as described above, the distance between the fixed portions 18f and 18g becomes shorter than the length when the support member 18 is fully extended, so that the support member 18 is gradually bent and contracted. It becomes a state.

  Subsequently, when the movable book shelf 3 is moved forward, the front caster 19 of the movable book shelf 3 comes into contact with the front stopper 23 on the rear surface of the front lid plate 9 and stops as shown in FIG. Although the rear caster is left on the base 15 in FIG. 8, it may be placed on the rear surface of the front lid plate 9. During this time, the support member 18 is further bent and contracted according to the movement of the movable bookcase 3.
