JP 2002-97856 A

  A cupboard often used in a kitchen or a hanging cabinet mounted on a kitchen or a wash basin may be mounted at a height from the line of sight to the head. If this cupboard was left open, there was a risk of inadvertently hitting the head under the cupboard and getting injured. In particular, the corner under the door was easy to hit and was dangerous because it was sharp. When washing dishes and cooking with the door open, the corner at the bottom of the door had a risk of hitting the head over a wide range of angles from the front to the back.

  The present invention solves the problem by processing a thick shock absorber into a substantially L shape and sticking it so as to cover the lower corner of the door of the cupboard. In the substantially L-shaped shock absorbing material, the protruding portion to be attached to the front of the door is short so as not to hit the handle, or is cut so as to avoid the handle. The part under the door is designed to be longer than the thickness of the door so that it protrudes to the back side of the door, so that a wide range of angles can be protected both in front of the door and behind the door. Moreover, since nothing is affixed on the back side of a cupboard, a cupboard can be closed completely.

  In the past, the head was hit against the corner under the cupboard and it felt painful. By using the shock absorbing pad of the present invention, the shock was absorbed in the event of a collision, and the pain was reduced or not painful. It becomes like this. When the door is opened a little, it is protected from a collision from the front of the cabinet. When the door is opened wide, the collision is not limited to the collision from the front of the door, but over a wide range of angles from the back of the door. The head can be protected from impact. Moreover, the part pasted in front of the door can be made to be difficult to interfere with the handle by making it short enough not to touch the handle. In addition, the part protruding under the door and projecting behind the door is designed to be longer than the thickness of the door so that it passes below the bottom floor of the cupboard while protecting the back of the door. So that the cupboard can be completely closed.

The figure which showed the external appearance of this invention impact-absorbing pad. 1 is an oblique view from behind. 2 is a view seen diagonally from the front. 3 is a view from the side. The protruding portion a protruding upward is designed to be short and is attached to the front surface of the door. Protruding part b that protrudes sideways is designed to be longer than the thickness of the door, and protrudes under the door to the back side of the door The example of attachment of the impact-absorbing pad of the present invention shown in FIG. View of the cupboard from the side The example of attachment of the impact-absorbing pad of the present invention shown in FIG. Affixed to protect the corner under the door.

Even when the door is wide open, even if you hit your head against the corner of the door from a wide range of angles, it will protect you. The example of attachment of the impact-absorbing pad of the present invention shown in FIG. Since the part protruding in the back side direction of the door is recessed below the cupboard floor, the door can be completely closed with the shock absorbing pad of the present invention attached. The figure which showed the external appearance of this invention impact-absorbing pad. The upward protruding portion a and the lateral protruding portion b have the same length, and the protruding portion a is provided with a cut 13 and a cut 15 so as not to interfere with the handle portion of the cupboard. The state that the shock absorbing pad of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 is attached to the cupboard. Can be mounted without interfering with the handle 20 The example which attached this invention shock absorption pad of FIG. 1 to the door which removed the handle, or the door which has no handle from the beginning. When trying to open the door, the finger can catch the notch 4 shown in FIG. 1, and the door can be opened. The example of attachment of this invention shock absorption pad. Even if the closet floor is slightly below the door, installation can be done by inserting a spacer 28.

The best mode for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, a shock-absorbing sponge is bent into a substantially L shape, and the protruding portion a protruding upward is short so as not to interfere with the handle of the door of the closet, and the protruding portion b protruding laterally is Make it longer than the thickness of the door so that it protrudes to the back of the door. The shock-absorbing material is made of an elastic material that is softer than plastic, and silicon or urethane sponge can be used. When the handle is not originally provided on the door or when the handle is attached to the bottom of the door, such as when the handle is in a position touching the present invention, the handle is removed and the shock absorbing pad of the present invention is attached. As a substitute for the handle, the door 4 can be opened and closed even if the handle is removed by making a cut 4 so that the finger of the hand is caught at the tip of the protruding portion b protruding in the lateral direction.

  In FIG. 2, the shock absorbing pad of the present invention is actually pasted from the front to the bottom of the door with an adhesive, a double-sided tape, and the like, and seen from the side. Since the upward protruding portion of the shock absorbing pad of the present invention is designed to be short, the protruding portion protruding in the lateral direction does not contact the handle 7 and passes under the floor plate 8 of the closet, Can be closed. FIG. 3 shows a state where the door with the shock absorbing pad of the present invention is slightly opened. The lower corner portion of the front surface of the door is protected by the present invention, and even if the head is hit against this portion, the shock is absorbed by the shock absorbing pad 10 of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a state where the door is largely opened. The lower corner of the back of the door is protected at a wide range of angles by the shock absorbing pad 11 of the present invention, so that even if the head is hit, the shock is absorbed and pain is reduced. FIG. 5 shows a state where the door is closed. Since the shock absorbing pad 12 of the present invention passes under the bottom floor plate of the cupboard, the door can be completely closed. FIG. 8 shows an example of removing the handle or attaching the shock absorbing pad of the present invention to a door that is not equipped with a handle from the beginning. The door can be opened by the finger being caught by the notch 4 shown in FIG. 1 provided on the protruding portion protruding to the rear side of the shock absorbing pad 22 of the present invention.

    In FIG. 6, the external appearance of this invention impact-absorbing pad is shown. A shock-absorbing sponge was processed into a substantially L shape, and a notch 13 was made in the protruding portion c protruding upward so as not to interfere with the cupboard handle. FIG. 7 shows a state where the shock absorbing pad 21 of the present invention is attached. The cut can be attached without interfering with the handle 20.

In FIG. 9, the attachment example of this invention is shown. When the floorboard 25 of the cupboard comes below the lower surface of the door 23 due to circumstances such as design, the spacer 27 can be attached by sticking between the door and the shock absorbing pad of the present invention. The spacer 27 is made of the same material as the shock absorbing pad of the present invention. The spacer 28 is a view of the spacer 27 as viewed obliquely from above.

  For cupboards, cupboards, system kitchens, washstands, etc., the corners under the cupboard can be just at the height of the head and eyes, which is very dangerous. While cooking or cleaning dishes, I often work with the cupboard open, often hitting my head at that time and often getting hurt.
