Description

  The present invention relates to a cabinet installed in, for example, a kitchen.

  In recent years, cabinets with a large storage capacity have been demanded as cabinets installed in kitchens and the like. In order to increase the storage capacity of the cabinet, the depth of the cabinet may be increased. However, when the depth of the cabinet is increased, there arises a problem that it becomes difficult to take out the articles placed in the back portion of the shelf board. In order to make it easy to take out articles placed in the back, it is conceivable to use a drawer storage. However, the drawer storage has a problem that it cannot be adopted at a position higher than the user's waist.

  As means for solving these problems, it has been proposed to divide the near side portion and the far side portion of the shelf board and attach the near side portion to the back side of the door (for example, Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 discloses a storage box body provided with an opening in the front, a door that closes the opening so as to be opened and closed, a plurality of shelves arranged on the back side in the storage box body, and a storage box. A storage box having a plurality of shelves arranged on the front side in the body is disclosed. The plurality of shelves arranged on the back side are attached to a support frame arranged in the storage box body. On the other hand, the plurality of shelves arranged on the front side are attached to the back side (inner surface) of the door.

  In the storage box described in Patent Document 1, the depth of the storage unit (shelf) in the storage box body and the depth of the storage unit (shelf) attached to the back side of the door are easily accessible to the user. Within range. Thus, the storage box described in Patent Document 1 achieves both an increase in depth and ease of taking out articles by the user.

No. 8-5615

  However, the storage box described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the storage amount of the storage unit provided on the back side of the door cannot be increased. That is, in the storage box described in Patent Document 1, the weight of the stored article is added to the hinge supporting the door in addition to the weight of the door and the storage unit. For this reason, even if the depth of the storage box main body is increased, the storage amount of the storage portion provided on the back side of the door cannot be increased from the viewpoint of the load resistance of the hinge. In particular, in a large cabinet installed in a kitchen or the like, this problem is significant because the door is large and its weight is large.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, and it aims at providing the cabinet which can make a usability and storage capacity compatible.

  The present inventor has found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by providing a storage unit that is pivotally supported by the cabinet body separately from the door between the cabinet body and the door, and further studies are completed to complete the present invention. I let you.

That is, the present invention relates to the following cabinets.

In these drawings, in order to make the structure of the door 120 and the frame 131 of the storage unit 130 easier to see, a part of the storage container (basket) 132, the hinge 121 and the pivot hinge 133 of the storage unit 130 are omitted. In FIG. 2A, the door 120 and the accommodating part 130 are connected by the connecting component 134. On the other hand, FIG. 2B shows a mode in which the door 120 and the storage unit 130 are not connected.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cabinet body 110 includes a first side plate 111, a second side plate 112, a back plate 113, a top plate 114, a bottom plate 115, and one or more shelf plates 116.

  The first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 are rectangular flat plates arranged in parallel to each other. The depth dimensions of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 are different from each other. In this specification, a side plate having a larger depth dimension is referred to as a first side plate 111, and a side plate having a smaller depth dimension is referred to as a second side plate 112. For example, the depth dimension of the first side plate 111 is about 65 cm, and the depth dimension of the second side plate 112 is about 45 cm. The height dimensions of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 are the same. For example, the height dimension of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 is about 235 cm. Since both the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 have their rear end portions fixed to the back plate 113, the front end portion of the first side plate 111 is more forward than the front end portion of the second side plate 112. It is located in the direction away from the back plate 113.

  The back plate 113 is a rectangular flat plate disposed at the rear end portions of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 so as to be perpendicular to the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112. is there. Here, the “rear end portions of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112” mean not only the rear edges of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 but also the vicinity thereof. The height dimension of the back plate 113 is the same as the height dimension of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112. For example, the width dimension of the back plate 113 is about 60 cm.

  The top plate 114 is a flat plate disposed on the upper end portions of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113. Here, the “upper end portions of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113” are not only the upper edges of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113 but also the vicinity thereof. It also includes the meaning. Usually, the top plate 114 is disposed so as to be perpendicular to the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113. The shape of the top plate 114 can be appropriately selected according to the shape of the door 120 described later. In the present embodiment, the top plate 114 has a pentagonal shape formed by cutting one corner of a rectangle.

  The bottom plate 115 is a flat plate disposed at the lower end of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113. Here, the “lower end portions of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113” are not only the lower edges of the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113, but also It also includes the neighborhood. Therefore, when the cabinet 100 is installed, the bottom plate 115 may not be in contact with the floor where the cabinet 100 is installed. Usually, the bottom plate 115 is disposed so as to be perpendicular to the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, and the back plate 113. The depth dimension of the bottom plate 115 is not particularly limited as long as it fits between the back plate 113 and the door 120, but is preferably equal to or smaller than the depth dimension of the second side plate 112. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 1, the user U can enter the cabinet 100 and look around the cabinet 100 at a time like a walk-in closet. In the present embodiment, the depth dimension of the bottom plate 115 is the same as the depth dimension of the second side plate 112. Note that the cabinet body 110 may not have the bottom plate 115. In this case, the floor of the place where the cabinet body 110 is installed replaces the bottom plate 115. Although not shown here, when the cabinet body 110 does not have the bottom plate 115, a cabinet wagon or the like can be arranged in the cabinet 100 so as to be removable.

  The shelf plate 116 is a table for supporting an object to be stored, which is disposed in a storage space formed by the first side plate 111, the second side plate 112, the back plate 113, the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 115. . Although the shape of the shelf board 116 is not specifically limited, For example, it is a rectangular flat plate. The depth dimension of the shelf plate 116 is equal to or smaller than the depth dimension of the second side plate 112. In the present embodiment, the depth dimension of the shelf plate 116 is the same as the depth dimension of the second side plate 112. The number and arrangement position of the shelf boards 116 are not particularly limited, and are appropriately selected according to the size and use of the cabinet 100. In the example shown in FIG. 1, four shelf boards 116 are horizontally arranged in the storage space.

  The door 120 closes an opening provided in front of the cabinet body 110 so as to be openable and closable. The door 120 is rotatable about a first rotation axis that is disposed on the second side plate 112 side (preferably near the front end of the second side plate 112) and parallel to the front end of the second side plate 112. It is pivotally supported so that In the present embodiment, the door 120 is fixed to the front end portion of the second side plate 112 via a plurality of hinges 123. In the present embodiment, the first rotation axis is parallel to the inner surfaces of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 and is perpendicular to the inner surfaces of the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 115.

  The door 120 includes a front part 121 located on the first side plate 111 side and a connection part 122 located on the second side plate 112 side when the door 120 is closed. The front portion is formed so as to be perpendicular to the first side plate 111 when the door 120 is closed. In the present embodiment, the front part 121 is a rectangular substantially flat plate. On the other hand, the connection part 122 is formed so as to connect the front part 121 and the front end part of the second side plate 112. Here, “connecting the front portion 121 and the front end portion of the second side plate 112” refers to bringing the end portion of the connection portion 122 on the second side plate 112 side close to the front end portion of the second side plate 112. Means that. Therefore, a gap necessary for rotating the door 120 may be formed between the end portion of the connection portion 122 on the second side plate 112 side and the front end portion of the second side plate 112. In the present embodiment, connecting portion 122 is a substantially rectangular plate. The flat plate is inclined with respect to the back plate 113 when the door 120 is closed (see FIGS. 4A and 5A). In addition, the shape of the connection part 122 will not be specifically limited if the front part 121 and the front-end part of the 2nd side plate 112 can be connected, For example, the curved board of the R surface may be sufficient.

  The storage unit 130 is disposed between the cabinet body 110 and the door 120. Similar to the door 120, the storage unit 130 is provided on the second side plate 112 side (preferably in the vicinity of the front end of the second side plate 112) and supports a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis. Is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable. The storage unit 130 is pivotally supported on the cabinet body 110 via a hinge different from the hinge 123 for the door 120. That is, the door 120 and the storage unit 130 are pivotally supported by the cabinet body 110 separately. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 130 is fixed to the front end portions of the top plate 114 and the bottom plate 115 on the second side plate 112 side via two pivot hinges 133.

  The storage unit 130 includes a frame 131 that is pivotally supported by the cabinet body 110, and one or more storage containers 132 that are supported by the frame 131. The frame 131 is attached to the cabinet body 110 via two pivot hinges 133 so as to be rotatable. The storage container 132 is fixed to the frame 131 instead of the door 120.

  The shapes of the frame 131 and the storage container 132 are not particularly limited as long as they can be arranged between the cabinet body 110 and the door 120, and can be appropriately selected according to the shapes of the door 120 and the shelf board 116. For example, the storage container 132 may be a deep container or a shallow tray. When the plurality of storage containers 132 are fixed to the frame 131, the plurality of storage containers 132 may have different shapes or the same shape.

  The material of the frame 131 and the storage container 132 is not particularly limited as long as the necessary strength can be secured. For example, the frame 131 can be formed by connecting metal pipes. The storage container 132 may be formed of resin or metal. In the present embodiment, six baskets made of metal wires are detachably fixed to the frame 131 as the storage container 132.

  In the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, the door 120 and the storage unit 130 (frame 131) are pivotally supported independently of each other, and thus can be individually rotated. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, by connecting the door 120 and the frame 131 using the connecting part 134, the storage unit 130 can be rotated in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the door 120. . In this case, since the rotation axis (first rotation axis) of the door 120 and the rotation axis (second rotation axis) of the frame 131 are deviated, the door 120 and the frame 131 are relative to each other depending on how the door 120 is opened. The positional relationship changes. For this reason, if both ends of the connecting part 134 are fixed to the door 120 and the frame 131, respectively, the door 120 cannot be opened and closed. In order to solve such a problem, the present embodiment employs a connecting component 134 that can be slidably attached at one end.

  FIG. 3A is an enlarged view of a region indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 3A, the connecting part 134 includes a connecting shaft 134a, a guide part 134b, and a slider 134c. One end of the connecting shaft 134a is rotatably attached to the lower portion of the frame 131. A slider 134c is fixed to the other end of the connecting shaft 134a. The guide part 134b has a guide structure and is fixed to the lower part of the back side (inner surface) of the door 120. The slider 134c is slidably engaged with a guide structure provided in the guide portion 134b. In the present embodiment, as the guide part 134b, a metal plate that is formed with a long through hole (guide structure) in one direction and is bent at 90 ° is used. In addition, a cylindrical body made of a metal having a diameter smaller than the minimum width of the through hole is used as the slider 134c. This cylindrical body (slider 134c) is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the through hole (guide structure of the guide portion 134b).

  Note that the configuration of the connecting part 134 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 3A as long as at least one end can be slidably attached. For example, the guide part 134b may be provided with a rail instead of the through hole. Further, the end portion on the frame 131 side may be slid instead of the end portion on the door 120 side of the connecting shaft 134a.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the slider 134c can be detached from the guide portion 134b. As shown in FIG. 3C, the removed slider 134 c can be attached to the frame 131. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 2B, the door 120 and the frame 131 can be disconnected.

  4A to 4C are schematic cross-sectional views of the cabinet 100 for illustrating the movement of the door 120 and the frame 131 when the door 120 and the frame 131 are connected using the connecting component 134. In these drawings, the storage container 132 is omitted.

  When the door 120 and the frame 131 are connected using the connecting part 134, when the door 120 is opened and closed, the frame 131 also moves following the door 120. Therefore, the user can take out both the articles stored in the cabinet body 110 and the articles stored in the storage container 132 of the storage unit 130 by simply opening the door 120. As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the rotation axis (first rotation axis) of the door 120 and the rotation axis (second rotation axis) of the frame 131 are deviated from each other. The relative position with respect to the frame 131 changes. In the present embodiment, the slider 134c fixed to one end portion of the connecting shaft 134a is slid along the through hole of the guide portion 134b, thereby changing the relative position between the door 120 and the frame 131. The frame 131 is moved following the door 120.

  5A to 5C are schematic cross-sectional views of the cabinet 100 for illustrating the movement of the door 120 and the frame 131 when the door 120 and the frame 131 are not connected. Also in these drawings, the storage container 132 is omitted.

  When the door 120 and the frame 131 are not connected, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, when the door 120 is opened and closed, only the door 120 moves. Therefore, the user can take out the articles stored in the storage container 132 from the back side (door 120 side) of the storage unit 130. Although not shown, it is possible to take out articles stored in the cabinet body 110 by moving the frame 131 after opening the door 120.

  As described above, in the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, the storage space in the cabinet body 110 can be divided into the front side portion and the back side portion to store articles. It is easy to use even if it increases. Moreover, in the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, the door 120 and the storage unit 130 (frame 131) are each independently pivotally supported, so that the storage capacity of the storage unit 130 can be increased. Furthermore, in the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, even if an article is stored in the storage unit 130, a load is not applied to the door 120. Therefore, the door 120 can be increased in size, and as a result, the cabinet 100 can be realized. It is also possible to realize an increase in size. Therefore, the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment can achieve both ease of use and storage capacity.

  Moreover, since the cabinet 100 which concerns on this Embodiment has the door 120 and the accommodating part 130 independent, the assembly construction and adjustment of the door 120 are easy on the spot.

  In the present embodiment, the cabinet 100 in which the depth dimension of the first side plate 111 and the depth dimension of the second side plate 112 are different has been described, but the depth dimension of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 is different. It may be the same. Further, the shape of the door 120 is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the shape of the opening of the cabinet body 110.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the cabinet 100 in which the rotation axis (first rotation axis) of the door 120 and the rotation axis (second rotation axis) of the storage unit 130 are offset from each other has been described. The shaft and the second rotation shaft may overlap each other. Also in this case, the door 120 and the storage part 130 (frame 131) are independently supported by different support members (for example, hinges, pivot hinges, etc.). Further, in the present embodiment, the cabinet 100 is described in which the rotation axis (first rotation axis) of the door 120 and the rotation axis (second rotation axis) of the storage unit 130 are located on the second side plate 112 side. The first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft may be located on the first side plate 111 side.

  The cabinet which concerns on this invention is suitable for back storage accommodated, for example in parallel with a kitchen counter.
