[Detailed description of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawer device for furniture such as a desk.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a drawer for furniture is generally formed in a box shape having an opening facing upward by fixing a front plate (mirror plate) to the front of a drawer having left and right side plates, a bottom plate, and a back plate. It is well known that it is formed. However, if the drawer has an upward opening as in the prior art, articles can only be taken in and out of the drawer from above.For example, when a drawer is provided on a shelf device in a learning desk or when a writing bureau is used. When a drawer is installed at a high position on furniture used by a person sitting on a chair, such as when a drawer is installed at a high position, the person using the furniture is required to put goods in and out of the drawer. After pulling out the drawer, you must stand or stretch out of the chair one by one and look inside the drawer from above,
There was a problem that taking in and out of an article was sometimes troublesome. On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 3-3239 discloses that the upper part of the front plate of the drawer is cut out over the entire left and right length, thereby opening the upper part of the front surface of the drawer over the entire left and right length.
A cover plate for closing the opening at the front of the drawer is pivotally attached to the furniture body so as to be pivotable back and forth about the upper end thereof. A drawer device having a structure in which the cover plate is guided by the inclined surface of the side plate when the drawer is pulled out and the cover plate is flipped up horizontally when the drawer is pulled out, and when the drawer is pushed in, the cover plate is guided to return to the original closed position is disclosed. Have been. Extending the idea of this publication, if the front plate is removed and the front surface of the drawer is closed with only the cover plate, articles can be taken in and out of the drawer from the front while the drawer is pulled out, so It is thought that can be solved. However, simply opening the front surface of the drawer entirely and closing it with a simple rotatable cover plate may cause the drawer to be housed in a pushed-in state and articles to fall unexpectedly. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a drawer device that allows articles to be taken in and out from the front of a drawer in a pulled-out state without causing the articles to fall off in a pushed state.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lid for mounting a drawer having a substantially open front surface on a furniture main body so as to be movable back and forth and closing the front surface of the drawer. The plate is flipped up and rotatably pivoted, and the drawer and the lid plate are provided with engaging means for holding the lid plate alone in a state where the drawer is pushed into the furniture body and holding the lid plate in a non-rotatable state, Further, the drawer is provided with guide means for guiding the lid plate to flip up and rotate when the drawer is pulled out, and to close and rotate the lid plate when the drawer is pushed in. "

With this configuration, when the drawer is pulled out, the lid plate rotates in conjunction with the drawer. That is, the drawer is pulled out with its front face open. On the other hand, when the drawer is pushed in, the lid plate rotates in conjunction with the pushing action, and the front face of the drawer is automatically closed. And when the drawer is pulled out, the front of the drawer is open, so even if the drawer is at a high position, for example, in relation to the height of the user's hand, the user should raise his posture so that he can stretch out one by one. There is no need to change, and articles can be easily moved in and out of the drawer. In addition, the opening and closing movement of the lid plate
Since it is not necessary to open and close the lid plate one by one because it is interlocked with the pushing movement, it is possible to quickly take out and put in the articles. Therefore, even when the drawer is provided at a high position of the furniture, articles can be taken in and out of the drawer quickly without changing the posture of a person, and thus the usability of the furniture can be improved. Further, by providing the engaging means, the lid plate is held so as not to rotate while the drawer is pushed into the furniture main body. Can be prevented reliably. Furthermore, since the lid plate opens and closes in conjunction with the drawer / pull-out movement, the drawer drawer
The ease of pushing is not impaired. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the dropping of the article in the pushed state of the drawer without slightly impairing the ease of pulling out and pushing in the drawer. Further, when a pin is provided on the cover plate as a part of the engagement means, the cover plate can be smoothly opened and closed in conjunction with the back and forth movement of the drawer, though it has a simple structure. Having.
