Description

  The present invention relates to a storage provided with a slide-type drawer capable of storing an object to be stored.

  In the kitchen, many storage spaces are provided to store cooking utensils, cooking materials, tableware, and the like. For this reason, it is usual that a storage with a drawer and a hinged door is provided under the top plate (worktop in the system kitchen). In recent years, in particular, the lower end of the drawer at the bottom of the storage (hereinafter referred to as the foot storage) is extended to a position directly above the floor surface, so that the drawer and the storage space of the entire storage can be expanded (for example, patents). Reference 1).

JP 2002-282070 A

  By the way, wood and metal materials are the mainstream as storage materials and constituent materials of drawers accommodated therein, and wood is superior in terms of cost performance, and metal materials are superior in terms of durability. For this reason, a metal material with high durability is suitable for the front plate of the foot storage that is assumed to hit the foot of the storage or to be hit by a vacuum cleaner during cleaning. Other drawer front plates that do not require as high durability as the warehouse can be made of wood to reduce costs.

  The front plate of the above-mentioned drawer is preferably manufactured by cutting a long member into a predetermined length. At this time, it is hard to say that the front plate is excellent in aesthetic appearance when the end face (side face) that is a cut face is in a state of being cut. In particular, when the front plate is made of a metal material, if the end face remains as it is when it is cut, there is a possibility that the user's hand or article will be damaged when the end face comes into contact. For this reason, a process is required for the end surface of the front plate after cutting.

  Wood is relatively easy to treat end faces by processing such as polishing, but metal materials are difficult to treat because of their high hardness. Therefore, the wooden front plate of the drawer other than the foot storage is subjected to end surface processing by polishing or the like, and the metal front plate of the foot storage is covered with a member that covers the end surface (hereinafter referred to as a side cap). Thus, this end face was processed.

  However, if the end face of the front plate is covered with a side cap, the side cap is exposed on the front face of the front plate. Then, in the front view of the storage, the thickness of the side cap itself is added to the thickness of the exposed part of the front plate, and the side cap becomes more noticeable in the external appearance of the storage, and the user feels uncomfortable. Or the aesthetics of the storage may be reduced.

  In view of such a problem, the present invention provides a storage that can improve the aesthetics of the storage without causing side caps to stand out more than necessary while suitably covering the side surface of the front plate. It is an object.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a typical configuration of a storage according to the present invention is a storage having a slide-type drawer capable of storing an object to be stored, and the drawer is configured before the front of the drawer is configured. And a side cap attached to the side surface so as to cover the side surface of the front plate, and the front surface of the side cap is curved so as to protrude forward in a cross-sectional view in the width direction of the drawer. Features.

  When the front surface of the side cap is curved as in the above configuration, the front surface of the side cap becomes rounded and the flat area is reduced. Thereby, since the width | variety of the front surface of a side cap looks narrow, a side cap does not stand out more than necessary in the front surface of a storage. Therefore, it is possible to improve the aesthetics of the storage while suitably covering the side surface of the front plate.

  In order to solve the above problems, another configuration of the storage according to the present invention is a storage having a slide-type drawer capable of storing an object to be stored, and the drawer is a front plate constituting the front surface of the drawer. And a side cap attached to the side surface so as to cover the side surface of the front plate, and the side cap has an inclined surface or a curved surface at an outer edge of the front surface thereof.

  Even when the front edge of the side cap is inclined or curved as in this configuration, the vicinity of the edge is rounded, and the flat area on the front surface of the side cap is reduced. Therefore, the same advantages as described above can be obtained.

  The front plate of the above-described drawer may be manufactured by extruding an aluminum-based material. By using an aluminum-based material in this way, a high-class feeling can be enhanced, and the production is facilitated by extrusion molding.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the side cap does not stand out more than necessary while covering the side surface of a front board suitably, The storage which can aim at the improvement of the beauty | look of a storage can be provided.
