Abstract

To prevent troubles caused by a door tilting forward toward a storage body in a horizontal swing door including a behind-a-door storage tray on a back side of the door, with it protruding backward.SOLUTION: A locker comprises a storage body 1 and a horizontal swing door 2, where the door 2 includes, on the back side thereof, a behind-a-door storage tray 27 capable of storing bottles. A magnet 63 magnetically attracted to a front end face of a shelf board 8 is provided on a lower side of a free end out of the back side of the door 2. Since the behind-the-door storage tray 27 is provided to largely enter the storage part, even when the door 2 tilts forward toward the storage body, the magnet 63 is magnetically attracted by the front end face of the shelf board 8, so that in the door 2 closed state, the behind-the-door storage tray can be compensated into a state being overlapped with the storage body. This configuration can thus prevent the door from becoming unclosable or becoming unlockable, and prevent deterioration in aesthetic appearance of the locker.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to storage furniture having a horizontally rotating door like a locker.

2. Description of the Related Art Lockers are an example of storage furniture with horizontally rotating doors, and lockers are used in various forms and for various purposes. For example, in terms of size, as typified by coin lockers, unit storage units with a height and width of several tens of centimeters are arranged in multiple rows on the top, bottom, left and right, and about 180 centimeters that can store coats. There are also those in which a plurality of height unit storage sections are connected to the left and right.

On the other hand, in recent years, the working style in the office has changed greatly, and although there is a desk, the free address system (non-territorial system), in which individual workers do not have their own seats, has become widespread. A work system in which employees come to work only on specific days of the week or when necessary is also widely used.

Even with a free address working style, it is necessary to store personal belongings during working hours and to store personal supplies after work, so in an office with a free address working style , almost without exception, have personal lockers.

Of course, even if it is not a free address system, lockers are used as office fixtures that are close to necessities. The point is that the unit storage parts are arranged in multiple rows vertically and horizontally.

A specific unit storage unit is assigned to a specific person, so basically only a specific person can open and close the door. It is necessary to put it in a unit storage part. There is also a desire to store items such as envelopes and mail items with the door closed even when the user is at work.

Therefore, a door is provided with a mailing port so that envelopes and documents can be put into the inside in a locked state. A mouth is disclosed. In this patent document 1, a tray for receiving posted articles is arranged on the back of the door, and the tray for storing posted articles has a frontage dimension slightly smaller than the frontage dimension of the storage part of the storage body, and , projecting back from the back of the door. Therefore, when the door is closed, the posted article storage tray is partially inserted into the storage portion of the storage body.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-81731

As in Patent Document 1, when the tray provided on the back of the door enters the storage part of the main body of the storage, for example, when a heavy mail such as a book or a thick envelope is stored, the center of gravity is shifted from the back of the door. As a result, when the door is closed, the door may be tilted forward toward the main body of the storage.

That is, one end (base end) of the door is connected to the main body of the storage by the upper and lower hinges so as to be able to rotate horizontally. Due to the clearance, the door may fall forward toward the main body of the storage. Alternatively, although the door has a fold-back portion formed around it to increase rigidity, the door has a large area relative to the thickness and may be torsionally deformed. Even if the container is in a parallel posture, the free end may fall forward toward the container body.

It is convenient if the door is provided with a tray for storing items such as a 500 ml PET bottle or a water bottle of about the same capacity. , the tilt phenomenon will appear remarkably.

If the door tilts forward toward the main body of the storage, the latch will not engage and the door will not be able to be closed, or the deadbolt of the lock provided on the back of the door will be retracted. There is a concern that it may become impossible to fit into the engagement hole of the storage body. Moreover, even if the door can be closed, the door may be tilted and the appearance may be spoiled.

The present invention was made against the background of such a situation. To disclose a technique that can be beautifully closed so as to overlap with a cabinet body.

The present invention includes various configurations, typical examples of which are specified in each claim. The invention of claim 1 constitutes a generic concept, and the storage furniture is
"A storage body having a forward-opening storage part,
a horizontally rotating door that overlaps the storage body from the front and closes the storage unit;
and a closed door attitude holding means that suppresses the door from tilting with respect to the front surface of the storage body when the door is closed."
It is configured.

The invention of claim 2 is, in claim 1,
"On the back of the door, a behind-the-door storage tray, which is large enough to accommodate bottles and enters the storage unit when the door is closed, is provided so as to enter the storage furniture when the door is closed. ”
It is configured.

The invention of claim 3 is a specific example of claim 1 or 2,
``The means for maintaining the closing position of the door is a magnet provided on one or both of the rear surface of the door and the front surface of the storage body.''
It is configured. In this configuration, the "back side of the door" also includes the [back side of the door back storage tray].

When both the storage body and the door are made of steel plate, the magnet may be placed either on the rear surface of the door or on the front surface of the storage body. If the door is made of synthetic resin, the magnet should be provided on the door.

The invention of claim 4 is a specific example of claim 3,
"The magnet is on the back of the door."
It is configured. Note that it is also possible to provide means for holding the closing position of the door, such as magnets, at a plurality of locations. Further, claim 4, like claim 3, also includes a door and a storage tray behind the door.

The invention of claim 5 is, in claim 2,
"The means for maintaining the closing position of the door is provided in the storage tray behind the door."
It is configured.

The invention of claim 6 is, in claim 5,
"The door back storage tray is provided with fixing means (auxiliary fixing means) for suppressing separation from the door back surface, in addition to the door closing position holding means."
It is configured.

According to the invention of claim 7, in any one of claims 1 to 6,
"The means for maintaining the closing position of the door is provided at the lower portion of the free end far from the fulcrum of rotation of the door."
It is configured.

The invention of claim 8 is a specific example of the closed door position holding means according to any one of claims 1, 2, 5 to 7,
"The closing position holding means is an engaging means consisting of a positioning projection and a positioning hole that are engaged with each other when the door is closed, and the positioning projection is provided on either the door or the storage body. , and the positioning hole is provided on the other side.”
It is configured.

The invention of claim 9 constitutes a superordinate concept of furniture like claim 1,
"A storage body having a forward-opening storage part,
a horizontally rotating door that overlaps the storage body from the front and closes the storage unit,
On the back side of the door, there is a storage tray behind the door that is large enough to accommodate bottles and fits inside the storage section when the door is closed.
It is configured.

According to the invention of claim 10, in any one of claims 2 to 9,
"The door back storage tray is arranged closer to the free end side than the left and right middle position of the door."
It is configured.

In the invention of claim 1, the center of gravity of the door and the cargo of the stored articles is located behind the door by providing the storage tray behind the door on the door, and the door is wholly or partially on the side of the storage body. Even if the door is tilted forward, the closing position holding means can correct the door to a position parallel to the storage body. Therefore, in a user-friendly storage furniture provided with a storage tray behind the door, the door can be closed in a predetermined posture to ensure latching and locking, and also prevent deterioration of the appearance. There is also an advantage that the function of holding the closed state of the door can be improved in cooperation with the latch device.

For example, when vertically long articles such as PET bottles and water bottles are stored in the storage part of the storage body, the storage part has a ceiling surface, so the article must be lifted slightly before being taken in and out. In addition, if the storage tray behind the door is configured to store vertically long items such as PET bottles and water bottles, when the door is opened, there is an open space above it, and the obstruction such as the ceiling surface of the storage section is removed. Since it does not exist, vertically long articles can be easily moved up and down to put them in and take them out of the storage tray behind the door.

And if you provide a storage tray behind the door that can store PET bottles and water bottles, it is convenient and user-friendly. Although the collapse phenomenon appears conspicuously, in the present invention, the collapse phenomenon of the door can be corrected by the closed door posture holding means. Therefore, in claim 2, the true value of the means for maintaining the closed position of the door is strongly exhibited. It is the same when applied to the storage furniture of claim 9.

Various structures can be employed for the means for maintaining the closed position of the door. It is also possible to prevent deterioration of appearance due to exposure of the hole in the opened state. In addition, when the door is closed, the magnet does not act as a resistance, but on the contrary, attracts the door to the main body of the storage, so the function of keeping the door closed is also excellent.

Furthermore, the magnet is magnetically attached to any part of the front surface of the storage body, such as the front end surface of the shelf board, the front end surface of the frame portion, or the front end surface of the side frame portion (side plate) that constitutes the storage body. As a result, even if there are manufacturing or assembly errors in the door or the main body of the storage, it can be firmly magnetically attached to ensure the position retention function of the door.

The magnet may be provided on the main body of the storage, but if the magnet is provided on the door as in claim 4, the magnet is not conspicuous when the door is open. (Because most people's eyes are directed toward the main body of the storage, magnets on the main body of the storage are conspicuous.)

If the closed door posture holding means is provided in the door rear storage tray as in claim 5, it becomes unnecessary to process the door main body (for example, perform sheet metal processing) for the closed door posture holding means. can be easily provided, and since a molded product can be adopted for the storage tray behind the door, it is possible to improve the placement accuracy of the means for holding the closed position of the door. Moreover, in the structure of Claim 6, a door back storage tray can be firmly attached to the back surface part of a door.

When the closing position holding means such as a magnet is arranged closer to the free end side of the door as in claim 7, compared with the case where it is arranged closer to the rotational axis of the door, the opening direction of the door is reduced. Since the lever action on the magnet can be suppressed when a force is applied, the resistance to the opening movement of the door is increased, and the position of the door can be maintained.

Engagement means as claimed in claim 8 can also be employed as the closed door position holding means. If such an engagement means is employed, the door can be lifted when the door is inclined such that the free end is lowered. There is an advantage that you can correct your posture by In other words, it excels in correcting the posture of the door.

The advantages of the storage furniture of claim 9 are already mentioned. When the storage tray behind the door is provided near the free end of the door as in claim 10, the article can be taken in and out from the storage tray behind the door without opening the door wide, which is convenient. When the storage tray behind the door is placed close to the free end of the door, the moment due to the weight of the article acts strongly and the door collapses or twists strongly. can be corrected.

The side edges are supported by two front and rear brackets 11 welded to the inner surface of the side plate 3 and the side surface of the center partition plate 7 .

The receiving metal fitting 11 is formed in a crank shape so that there is a slight gap between its upper portion and the side plate 3 or the center partition plate 7, and the lower half portion is welded to the side plate 3 or the center partition plate 7. On the other hand, an inward support piece 11a is formed at the upper end. Then, the side piece 8b of the shelf plate 8 is inserted from above into the gap formed between the bracket 11 and the side plate 3 or the center partition plate 7, and is inserted into the rectangular engagement hole 12 formed in the bracket 11. By engaging the side piece 8b of the shelf board 8 with the bulged dowel 8c, the shelf board 8 is held so as not to come off upward and to be prevented from shifting forward and backward.

The door 2 rotates horizontally with its right edge as a fulcrum. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a hinge 13 is attached to the front frame 4c of the top plate 4 and the right end of the frame portion 8a of each shelf 8 to hold the door 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable.

At the front end of the side plate 3, a front frame portion 14 having a U-shaped flat cross section is formed by bending, while a hollow square front frame portion 15 is also formed at the front end of the center partition plate 7, so that the door 2 can be closed. The free ends overlap the front frame portions 14 and 15 from the front.

As shown in FIG. 4, upper, side, and lower folded portions 2a, 2b, and 2c are formed around the four sides of the door 2, and the right end portion of the upper folded portion 2a is attached to a hinge 13 by a pin (not shown). are connected by A lock unit 16 is fixed to a portion of the door 2 near the free end and at a mid-height portion. The front surface of the lock unit 16 is exposed in front of the door 2, and the exposed front surface is provided with a numeric keypad 17, a keyhole 18 and a knob 19, as shown in FIG.

Returning to FIG. 4, the lock unit 16 incorporates an electronic lock that is unlocked by operating the numeric keypad 17 and a mechanical lock that is unlocked by operating a key. is horizontally movably arranged, and the deadbolt 21 of the mechanical lock is rotatably arranged. Therefore, the notch engagement portion 22 for fitting and removing the deadbolt 20 of the electronic lock and the deadbolt 21 of the mechanical lock are fitted and removed from the front frame portion 14 of the left side plate 3 and the front frame portion 15 of the center partition plate 7, respectively. A lock hole 23 is formed.

Further, as partially shown in FIG. 4, the lock unit 16 is equipped with a horizontally rotating latch pawl 24, while the front frame portion 14 and the center partition are shown in FIG. 6(B). A receiving member 25 made of resin is fixed to the front frame portion 15 of the plate 7, and the receiving member 25 is formed with an engaging portion 25a with which the latch claw 24 engages and disengages when rotated. 5, the receiving member 25 is simply shown, and the receiving member 25 is not shown in FIGS.

On the back surface of the door 2 near the free end, there is a first door back storage tray 26 which is elongated left and right and has a shallow dish shape for storing small items such as a spectacle case, and a deep second storage tray 26 which can store water bottles and PET bottles. A storage tray 27 behind the door is arranged. The second back door storage tray 27 corresponds to the back door storage tray described in the claims.

(2) Storage Sections and Their Surroundings Articles can be stored in each unit storage section of the storage main body 1. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A first partition 29 having a shape is arranged, and a wide space on the right side of the first partition 29 serves as a first storage section 30 . The first partition member 29 has one partition plate (upright plate) 29a extending in the front-rear direction. , and a second storage section 32 that can store electronic devices such as a tablet terminal. The width of the second storage portion 32 is several tens of mm (for example, about 40 to 60 mm).

As shown in FIG. 5A, the first partition 29 has a bottom plate 29b that overlaps the shelf plate 8, and has two front and rear positioning projections (not shown) projecting downward from the bottom plate 29b. , are fitted into positioning holes 33 provided in the shelf. Two sets of positioning holes 33 are provided on the left and right. Therefore, the first partition member 29 can be replaced at two positions on the left and right sides, thereby changing the left and right width of the second storage section 32 in two stages.

As shown in FIG. 5, channel-shaped vertical wiring ducts 34 are attached to the front ends of the side plates 3 and the center partition plate 7, and an outlet 35 is attached to the top of the wiring ducts 34. As shown in FIG. Therefore, electronic equipment such as the notebook computer 31 can be charged. The outlet 35 can be arranged in the front part of the shelf board 8 and on the left side, or arranged on the upper inner surface of the unit storage part, as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 5 .

As shown in FIG. 5, a tray-shaped or bookend-shaped second partition 36 is attached to the right side of the unit storage section, and the space between the first partition 29 and the second partition 36 is provided. is the first storage section 30 . The first storage section 30 occupies a range of about 3/4 of the frontage dimension of the unit storage section. The second partition member 36 also has a partition plate 36a and a bottom plate 36b and is formed in an L shape when viewed from the front. 3 storage section) 40. The bottom plate 36b of the second partition member 36 is also formed with downward positioning projections (not shown), and the positioning projections are opened in the shelf plate 8 and fitted into the engaging holes.

As shown in FIG. 4, a vertically elongated frame 40 is attached to the rear surface of the right portion of the door 2 that is closer to the fulcrum of rotation. The frame body 40 is made of synthetic resin, and has a vertically long mailing port 41 formed therein. The mailing port 41 is also opened to the door 2. - 特許庁The slot 41 is located on the left side of the frame 40, so that the part of the frame 40 on the right side of the slot 41 is wide. The number of stages of the cover 42 can be set arbitrarily.

A peripheral rib 43 is formed on the frame body 40 so as to surround the outer periphery thereof and a mailing port 41, and a horizontal rib 44 connecting the two peripheral ribs 43 is formed on the right side of the mailing port 41. - 特許庁. As means for fixing the frame 40, there is a method of adhering it to the back surface of the door 2 with an adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape, a method of pressing and holding with a pressing piece fixed to the back surface of the door 2, or a method of fixing to the back surface of the door 2. It is possible to adopt a method such as screwing a nut or a plate material with a screw. An inverted L-shaped reinforcing member 45 is arranged at the upper right corner of the rear surface of the door 2. - 特許庁

Each cover 42 is pivotally attached to the frame 40 by a vertically elongated pin (not shown) so that it can be pushed open around its left side, and is biased in the closing direction by a spring. A bearing portion 46 for supporting the cover 42 is formed in the frame 40 . As shown in FIGS. 4 and 1(B), between the front end (free end) of the cover 42 and the right inner surface of the mailing slot 41, there is an input slit 47 with a gap of several millimeters. A thin mailed article that hits the input slit 47 is thrown into the posted article storage section 37 .

As described with reference to FIG. 5 , the portion between the second storage portion 32 and the posted article storage portion 40 is the first storage portion 30 , and the back side storage portion is provided on the back surface of the door 2 . When the trays 26 and 27 are protruded backward, the door rear storage trays 26 and 27 enter the first storage section 30 with the door 2 closed. Therefore, if the front end of the article 48 placed in the first storage section 30 is located near the front end of the shelf board 8, the door back storage trays 26 and 27 will hit the article 48 and the door 2 cannot be closed. If you try to close the door 2, there is a risk that the door 2 will be damaged.

5, 6(A), and 8(A) are examples of interference suppressing units (display means) that indicate the deadline for arranging the articles 48 without being hit by the storage trays 26 and 27 behind the door. In addition, the shelf plate 8 is formed with left and right longitudinal ribs 49 that bulge upward.

(3). Door back storage tray Next, the door back storage trays 26 and 27 will be described. The first door back storage tray 26 can store small items as described above, and protrudes backward by 2 to 3 cm from the back surface of the door 2 (rear surfaces of the folded portions 2a, 2b, and 2c). Therefore, the size of the container that can be inserted into the storage portion when the door is closed is 2 to 3 cm.

Further, the first door back storage tray 26 is held so as not to shift vertically and horizontally by providing an upward portion 51 and a lateral portion 52 which are inserted into the folded portions 2a, 2b and 2c of the upper and side. In addition, the first back door storage tray 26 is fixed to the door 2 with an adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape (a bracket is welded to the back surface of the door 2 so that an engaging claw can be engaged with it or an engaging claw can be engaged with it). It is also possible to engage the claws with the upper and side folded portions 2a and 2b of the door 2).

The second door back storage tray 27 is rectangular in plan view and has an upward opening, and is large enough to store a vertically long article 53 such as a 500 ml PET bottle. Therefore, the depth dimension from the door 2 and the lateral width are about 70 mm. Since the front and rear widths of the folded portions 2a, 2b, and 2c are about 10 to 205 mm, the second door back storage tray 27 is inserted into the storage portion of the storage body 1 by about 50 to 60 mm. Further, the upper surface of the second door rear storage tray 27 is in a notched state with an inclined surface 54 that is lowered toward the pivot point.

The second door back storage tray 27 is arranged to be shifted (offset) to the free end side with respect to the longitudinal center line 55 that divides the door 2 into left and right. That is, of the two areas separated by the longitudinal center line 55, it is arranged in the end area located on the free end side (however, when viewed in the end area, the length of the longitudinal center line 55 is greater than that of the free end). leaning to the side). Therefore, with the door 2 closed, the second door back storage tray 27 enters the first storage section 30 .

The second back door storage tray 27 has a substrate 56 that overlaps the back surface of the door 2. The lower end of the substrate 56 is fitted into the lower folded portion 2c of the door 2, and the left side of the substrate 56 is attached to the side. It is fitted into the folded portion 2b, thereby performing vertical and horizontal positioning.

Since the storage trays 26 and 27 behind the door are close to the longitudinal center line 55 of the door 2, the board 56 has a large overhang dimension toward the free end of the door 2, and is located on the pivot point side of the door 2. The overhang dimension to the is smaller. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the board 56 has a group of ribs 57 projecting toward the door 2 and the ribs 57 are in contact with the door 2 .

As a fixing means for the second door back storage tray 27, first, as shown in FIGS. , an engaging claw 59 protruding downward is provided integrally with the notch portion 58, and an engaging piece 60 is formed by cutting and raising the lower folded portion 2c of the door 2 to engage with the engaging piece 60. An engagement hole 61 is formed in which the claw 59 is fitted. Therefore, the hook portion of the engaging claw 59 protrudes in the front-rear direction.

The substrate 56 is held by the folded portions 2b and 2c of the door 2 at the two sides, ie, the lower side and the outer side, so as not to move forward and backward, and is held so as not to come off upward. As a means, the first magnet 62 is attached to the corner portion between the inner side portion and the upper side portion of the substrate 56 so as to be exposed forward, and the first magnet 62 is fixed to the door 2 . Therefore, the board 56 of the second door back storage tray 27 is in the same state as if its four corners were fixed to the door 2 .

The first magnet 62 is an example of fixing means (auxiliary fixing means) described in the claims. As the fixing means, for example, double-sided adhesive tape can be used, but if the magnet 62 is used as in this embodiment, workability can be significantly improved.

The second magnet 63 is attached to the corner portion between the outer side and the lower side of the substrate 56 so as to be exposed rearward, and the second magnet 63 is placed on the shelf in the closed state where the door 2 overlaps the storage body 1. It is magnetically attached to the front end surface of the frame portion 8 a of the plate 8 . As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the magnets 62 and 63 are tightly fitted in a bottomed cylindrical holder 64 , and the holder 64 is press-fitted into a boss portion 65 provided on the substrate 56 .

The second door back storage tray 27 is an example of a closed door posture holding means, but instead of using the magnet 63, as shown in FIG. A positioning hole 67 may be formed in the frame portion 8 a of the shelf plate 8 and the positioning projection 66 may be fitted into the positioning hole 67 . The positioning holes 67 may be formed in the front frame portions 14 and 15 of the storage body 1 . The tip of the positioning projection 66 is tapered to guide it to be fitted into the positioning hole 67 .

As in the embodiment, if the second door back storage tray 27 is provided that is largely recessed toward the storage section (first storage section 30), the center of gravity of the door 2 including the article 53 will enter the interior of the storage section considerably. Due to the clearance at the hinge 13 and the twist of the door 2, the free end of the door 2 tends to lean forward toward the storage body 1 as indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 8(A). Then, there is a possibility that the door 2 cannot be closed or locked, but if the second magnet 63 is provided as in the embodiment, the door 2 can be corrected to overlap the front surface of the storage body 1. As a result, the doors 2 can be held in a predetermined posture, and the front surfaces of the doors 2 can be beautifully arranged on the same plane.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be embodied in various other ways. For example, hook-and-loop fasteners can also be used as the means for maintaining the closed position of the door. Storage furniture is not limited to lockers, and can be widely applied to storage furniture having a horizontally rotating door. The storage furniture may have drawers or sliding doors and horizontally rotating doors. That is, the present invention can also be applied to storage furniture having a horizontally rotating door in a part of the storage section.

When applied to a locker, the layout of the unit storage sections can be arbitrarily set, such as a multi-tiered configuration with only one row, or a multi-tiered configuration with three or more rows. It is also possible to arrange a plurality of types of unit storage sections with different heights and lateral widths in one locker.
