Description

  The present invention relates to a storage shelf including two sliding doors that move along a rail.

  Some face-to-face system kitchens have storage shelves on the living side of the kitchen counter. Recently, in order to display tableware and the like in such kitchen counters, attempts have been made to prevent the opening from being blocked by two sliding doors. That is, in such a storage shelf, in the opening on the front surface of the storage shelf, for example, if two sliding doors are separated from the side plate and a partial opening is formed between them, the storage space corresponding to the partial opening You can display tableware etc. in an open state

  Such storage shelves are usually used in a state where a partial opening is formed between two sliding doors. From such a state, when either or both sliding doors are moved and brought into close proximity or in contact with each other, There is a risk that a finger inserted in the partial opening between the two sliding doors may be caught.

  Therefore, in such a storage shelf, it is necessary to take an appropriate finger padding prevention measure so that fingers are not caught between the two sliding doors.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a storage shelf that can prevent finger jamming between two sliding doors.

  In order to achieve the above object, a storage shelf according to the present invention has an opening on the front surface of a storage portion and is configured to include at least two sliding doors that block a part of the opening, and the two sliding doors are rails. Is a storage shelf that can be moved laterally so as to be close to and away from each other along one of the adjacent side end portions of the two sliding doors along the moving direction of the sliding door. The projecting portion is provided so as to be movable back and forth with respect to the side end portion, and the other end is provided with a contacted portion on which the tip of the projecting portion is brought into contact. Are close to each other, and the relative speed of the two sliding doors is reduced after the convex part comes into contact with the contacted part.

  In the present invention, two sliding doors may be configured to move on the same rail.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is good also as a structure that a convex part is arrange | positioned in the back surface side of the lower end of one sliding door, and a contact part is arrange | positioned in the back surface side of the lower end of the other sliding door.

  Furthermore, in the present invention,

  According to the storage shelf according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent finger jamming between two sliding doors by adopting the above-described configuration.

(A) is a whole perspective view of the kitchen counter which has the storage shelf which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention, (b) is a principal part expansion perspective view. (A)-(d) is explanatory drawing (front view) which showed schematically the proximity | contact operation | movement of the two sliding doors used for the storage shelf. (A) is the top view of the storage shelf, (b) is the front view (state which removed the sliding door). (A) is the expanded longitudinal cross-sectional view, (b) is the expanded longitudinal cross-sectional view which expanded further the A section of (a).

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a storage shelf according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  In this embodiment, the storage shelf 3 provided in the living side of the facing kitchen counter 1 is illustrated as a storage shelf. It goes without saying that the storage shelf 3 is not limited to this and includes various other storage shelves.

  The kitchen counter 1 has a cooking unit 2 having a sink 2a and a heating cooker 2b on the kitchen side, and further has a storage shelf 3 (storage unit 10) integrated with the cooking unit 2 on the living side. It has become.

  In the storage portion 10, a storage space surrounded by the back plate 10b, the side plates 10a and 10a, the bottom portion 10c, and the top plate 10f is formed. The storage space is partitioned by the partition plates 10d and 10d to form three small storage portions 12, 12, and 12 arranged side by side. A plurality of storage shelves partitioned by a plurality of shelf boards 10e are formed in the spaces of the respective small storage portions 12, 12, and 12.

  The three small storage parts 12, 12, and 12 are substantially the same size in front view. The storage unit 10 includes two sliding doors 20 and 20 that substantially match the size of the small storage unit 12 in a front view so as to be movable along the rail. That is, when the two sliding doors 20 and 20 are moved to both ends of the opening 11, for example (in FIG. 3B, both sliding doors 20 and 20 are indicated by a two-dot chain line), the opening 11 of the storage unit 10 is About 2/3 is closed, and a partial opening is formed between the sliding doors 20 and 20.

  In the storage shelf 3 of the present embodiment, the two sliding doors 20 and 20 are not different from each other (the sliding doors 10 and 10 do not overlap each other), but on the same rail (upper rail 14 and lower rail 15). It is possible to move in the lateral direction so as to be close to and away from. Accordingly, when the adjacent side end portions 21, 21 of the two sliding doors 20, 20 are brought close to each other, they are close to each other at any position within the partial opening located on the front surface of the small storage portion 12 at the center. It will come into contact. In addition, although the upper and lower rails 14 and 15 are schematically shown in FIG. 3B, an enlarged partial longitudinal sectional view of the lower rail 15 is shown in FIG. 4B.

  The upper rail 14 has a roller (not shown) that suspends and supports the sliding door 20 attached to the front portion of the top plate 10f of the storage unit 10, and the roller is integrated with a damper (not shown) to form a soft closer mechanism. Is configured. Thus, when the sliding door 20 is moved to the side plate 10a side, the sliding door 20 is decelerated in the vicinity of the side plate 10a, and the sliding door 20 is prevented from colliding with the door frame with a strong momentum or repelling.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the lower rail 15 is disposed in the kicking space 13 below the bottom 10c of the storage unit 10. Specifically, the lower rail 15 includes a fixing portion 16 having a substantially L-shaped cross section and a rail portion 17. As shown in FIG. 4B, the fixing portion 16 is fixed so as to straddle the back surface of the bottom portion 10c of the storage portion 10 and the wall surface of the kick wall 13a. A rail portion 17 composed of two plate pieces 17a and 17a projecting downward is formed at the tip of the fixed piece 16a fixed to the bottom 10c of the storage portion 10 in the fixed portion 16.

  On the other hand, a sliding member 22 that slides along the rail portion 17 is fixed to the sliding door 20 on the back side of the lower end thereof. The sliding portion 24a of the sliding member 22 slides between the two plate pieces 17a and 17a of the lower rail 17, so that the sliding door 20 can move laterally without rattling at the lower end. . With the upper rail 14 and the lower rail 15, the sliding doors 20 and 20 can move smoothly.

  The sliding door 20 has a convex portion T that is movable forward and backward with respect to the side end portion 21 of the sliding door 20 along the moving direction of the sliding door 20 on one of the side end portions 21, 21 adjacent to each other. Is provided. In addition, the side end portion 21 of the other sliding door 20 is provided with a contacted portion H with which the convex portion T can contact. In the illustrated example, the right sliding door 20 is provided with a convex portion T, and the left sliding door 20 is provided with a contacted portion H.

  The convex portion T includes a rod body 31 provided in an advance / retreat mechanism 30 for allowing the convex portion T to advance and retract. This rod body 31 is provided so as to be able to advance and retract in a piston motion with respect to the cylindrical body 32. A coil spring 33 is connected between the end portion of the rod body 31 and the inner bottom portion of the cylinder body 32 so that the rod body 31 can advance and retreat inside the cylinder body 32. The advancing / retreating mechanism 30 preferably has a structure including an oil damper mechanism in order to absorb an impact caused by the elastic operation of the coil spring 33.

  Further, the abutted portion H is composed of an upright plate piece 41 having a surface with which the tip of the convex portion T abuts. In the present embodiment, the upright plate piece 41 and the mounting plate piece 42 are integrated to form an L-shaped body 40, and by attaching the mounting plate piece 42 to the back side of the sliding door 20, the contacted portion H is fixed to the sliding door 20.

  Such projecting portions T and contacted portions H are sliding members 22, 22 attached to the respective sliding doors 20, 20 so as to face each other at the side end portions 21, 21 at the lower ends of the sliding doors 20, 20. It is fixed to. The sliding members 22, 22 are members attached to the sliding doors 20, 20 so that the sliding doors 20, 20 move on the lower rail 15.

  Next, the installation structure of the advance / retreat mechanism 30 including the convex part T and the L-shaped body 40 including the contacted part H will be described together with the shape and structure of the sliding member 22.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the sliding member 22 is formed between a fixed portion 23 having a substantially L-shaped cross section and two plate pieces 17a and 17a constituting the rail portion 17 of the lower rail 15. And a moving part 24 that stands up to be inserted and has a sliding part 24a at the tip. An extension piece 25 having a substantially L-shaped cross section extending in the direction toward the kick wall 13a is further formed at the rear end portion of the fixed portion 23 of the sliding member 22 (base portion of the moving portion 24). The extending piece 25 has a horizontal piece 25a extending toward the kick wall 13a.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, each of the advancing / retreating mechanism 30 and the L-shaped body 40 includes an extending piece 25 of the sliding members 22 and 22 connected to the corresponding sliding doors 20 and a horizontal piece 25a of the 25. , 25a. Specifically, the advancing / retreating mechanism 30 is fixed by horizontally fixing the cylindrical body 32 to the horizontal piece 25a, and the L-shaped body 40 is fixed by bonding the mounting plate piece 42 to the horizontal piece 25a.

  As shown in each of FIGS. 2A to 2D, the upright plate piece 41 constituting the contacted portion H has a plate surface disposed at substantially the same position as the side end surface of the sliding door 20 in front view. ing. In a state in which the convex portion T does not operate, as shown in FIG. 2A, a predetermined length projects from the side end face of the sliding door 20 and protrudes toward the sliding door 20 side.

  Next, the operation when the sliding doors 20 and 20 are run on the rails at a predetermined speed so as to be close to each other will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, although the example which moves the sliding door 20 which has the convex part T was shown in FIG. 2, even when moving both the sliding doors 20 and 20 when moving the sliding door 20 which has the to-be-contacted part H, FIG. The advancing / retreating mechanism 30 performs the same operation as that described below, and therefore the illustration of these operations is omitted.

  First, the sliding door 20 having the convex portion T is moved to the left side in the drawing at a predetermined speed (the size of the white arrow in FIG. 2 represents the speed). At this time, the coil spring 33 housed in the cylindrical body 32 is in a return state, and the coil spring 33 hardly changes even while moving at a constant speed. Therefore, the protrusion T (rod body 31) protrudes from the cylindrical body 32. It moves toward the other party's sliding door 20 without changing its dimensions.

  Then, after a predetermined time, the tip of the convex portion T comes into contact with the contacted portion H of the counterpart sliding door 20, and at the same time, the convex portion T is pressed against the contacted portion H, and the coil spring 33 starts to contract. . Since the coil spring 33 acts as a buffer, the speed at which the side end portion 21 of the sliding door 20 having the convex portion T approaches the side end portion 21 of the sliding door 20 having the contacted portion H is reduced. . When the rod body 31 is gradually submerged in the cylindrical body 32, the side end portions 21 and 21 of the sliding doors 20 and 20 are closest to or in contact with each other, and the sliding door 20 having the convex portion T is stopped. The degree of protrusion of the convex portion T from the side end portion 21 is minimized.

  As described above, since the projecting portion T that can freely move forward and backward is provided on one side of the sliding doors 20 and 20 of the storage unit 10 and the contacted portion H is provided on the other side, the sliding doors 20 and 20 approach each other as described above. When the convex portion T comes into contact with the contacted portion H, the proximity speed of the sliding door 20 to the other sliding door 20 decreases. Therefore, even when a finger is attached to the side end portion 21 of the sliding door 20 having the contacted portion H, there is no possibility that finger filling will occur. Even if you put your finger between the sliding doors 20, 20, the proximity speed has dropped sufficiently so that you will not be injured.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the mechanism for decelerating the proximity speed which consists of the convex part T and the to-be-contacted part H is attached to the kick space 13 of the back surface side of the lower end of the sliding doors 20 and 20, Is not visible from the outside, and there is little risk of losing aesthetics.

  In the state where both sliding doors 20 and 20 are closest to each other and stopped (see FIG. 2D), the elastic return force of the coil spring 33 is naturally generated. However, the use of the coil spring 33 having an elastic coefficient that does not separate the sliding doors 20 and 20 does not generate a force enough to separate the sliding doors 20 and 20 from each other. Therefore, unless the external force is applied, the state in which the sliding doors 20 and 20 are in closest contact with each other can be maintained.

  When the sliding door 20 is moved so as to separate the sliding doors 20 and 20 from the state in which the sliding doors 20 and 20 are closest to each other, the coil spring 33 is gradually restored at the same time as the sliding doors 20 and 20 are separated from each other, and the convex portion T is restored to the original shape. Return to the protruding state.

  As a configuration in which the convex portion T can advance and retreat, another elastic body may be used instead of the coil spring 33. Further, instead of the piston structure, that is, without providing the cylindrical body 32, the advance / retreat mechanism 30 (convex portion T) may be configured only by rubber or sponge. At least after the contact with the contacted portion H, the protruding amount of the convex portion T from the side end portion 21 of the sliding door 20 toward the counterpart sliding door 20 decreases, and the relative speed of the sliding doors 20 and 20 approaching each other is reduced. Any convex portion T that gradually decreases may be used.

  Moreover, you may provide the convex part T and the to-be-contacted part H in the other location of the sliding doors 20 and 20, for example, the upper end of the sliding doors 20 and 20, the center back surface side, etc.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which both sliding doors 20 and 20 move on the same rail has been shown, but the configuration in which each sliding door 20 and 20 moves on different rails so that each sliding door 20 and 20 can be pulled apart. It is good. In such a case where the sliding doors 20 and 20 are moved by different rails, the sliding doors 20 and 20 can be prevented from being pulled apart by providing the convex portion T and the contacted portion H.

  Thus, by adding the convex portion T and the abutted portion H to the storage shelf having the sliding type sliding doors 20 and 20, the sliding type sliding doors 20 and 20 can be replaced with the sliding doors 20 and 20 that cannot be pulled. Can be changed.

  In addition, by removing one sliding door 20 from a sliding three-sliding door type, the center is opened by attaching the protruding portion T and the contacted portion H as described above to the remaining sliding doors 20 and 20. The setting can be changed to an exhibition storage shelf of a type in which the sliding doors 20 and 20 do not make a mistake.

  Furthermore, in a storage shelf having three or more sliding doors 20, the above-described convex portions T and contacted portions H may be attached between the respective sliding doors 20, 20.
