By the way, in the conventional device, a fixed rail is provided on the inner surface of the main body, and a movable rail is provided on the outer surface of the drawer, and a movable roller axially attached to the rear end of the drawer is fixed to the fixed rail of the main body. Along with the transfer, the movable rail of the drawer is rollably received by a stationary roller axially attached to the vicinity of the front end on the inner surface of the main body so that the drawer can be pulled out and supported by the main body. is there.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a configuration, when the drawer is housed in the main body, the distance between the movable roller and the stationary roller is kept large, but this distance is As the drawer is pulled out, it becomes shorter and shorter. As a result, a large load acts on both rollers due to the leverage principle. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to accommodate a heavy thing in the drawer.

Further, in such a case, even if a high-strength material and structure are employed to increase the support strength of both rollers, if a heavy object is accommodated in the drawer and pulled out, the whole body is easily fallen to the front side. The problem of remaining.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate all such inconveniences without impairing the function of properly accommodating the drawer body in the main body through a light operation.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following means in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the storage furniture according to the present invention includes a main body having an open front, and a drawer housed in the main body and capable of being drawn out to the front side. The main body includes a bottom plate, left and right side plates, a top plate, and a back plate. The front end of the bottom plate is located deeper than the front ends of the side plate and the top plate, and the left and right side plates are arranged. A drawer guide rail is provided on the inner side surface of the drawer body, which extends back and forth and has an inclined guide surface formed at the front end. The drawer body includes a body accommodated in the main body, and a boundary plate provided at a front end of the body and closing the front of the main body. A front-side wheel that rolls is provided, and a rear-side wheel that rolls on the drawer guide rail is provided on the back side, and the drawer guide is guided by the inclined guide surface only near the front end thereof. A slider that rides on the rail is provided. Then, when the drawer is pushed into the main body, the slider rides on the drawer guide rail at the final stage of the pushing operation, so that only the front end of the drawer is lifted, and the front wheels float from the floor surface. And a front-side wheel that fits between the front end of the bottom plate and the end plate when the drawer is housed in the main body.

In order to allow the drawer to be pulled out as straight as possible, a slider that slides on the outer surface of the drawer is provided near the front end of the left and right drawer guide rails, or a horizontal shaft is rotatably supported on the drawer. In addition, it is desirable that left and right front wheels are provided at both ends of the horizontal shaft so as to be integrally rotatable.

In order to effectively increase the rigidity of the drawer, the body of the drawer has a bottom plate having a front end joined to a head plate, a top plate having a front end joined to a head plate, a rear end portion of the top plate and the bottom plate. And a back plate rigidly connected to the rear end portion of the back plate, and the back plate preferably has a U-shape in plan view in which both right and left edges extend to the front side.

Preferred embodiments that can improve the usability of the drawer include the following. First, a partition plate is provided between the back plate and the mirror plate, and a storage space in which stored articles can be taken in and out from the side can be formed between the partition plate and the back plate. In this case, a hanger hook for hooking the coat hanger may be provided on the inner surface of the back plate so that the clothes can be suspended and stored in the storage space. Further, a shelf plate can be provided between the mirror plate and the partition plate. Alternatively, a drawer that can be pulled out to the side may be provided between the end plate and the partition plate. When placing desks on both the left and right sides, drawers that can be pulled out to the right and drawers that can be pulled out to the left have different heights between the mirror plate and the partition plate. It may be provided.

As a preferable mode for locking the drawer body in a state housed in the main body, a hollow member having a plurality of engagement holes is provided on the inner surface of the back plate of the main body so as to be vertically movable, and on the back surface of the drawer body, A hook-shaped engaging projection inserted into the engaging hole in the housed state is protruded, and the hollow member cannot be pulled out from the engaging hole by vertically moving the hollow member on the top plate. There is a mechanism provided with a locking mechanism that engages with. To be able to easily respond to various appearance specifications,
It is preferable that a face plate for makeup is detachably attached to the outer surface of the side plate of the furniture body.

[Operation] In the storage furniture of the present invention, the front wheel supported on the floor surface and the rear wheel supported on the drawer guide rail of the main body are both provided in the drawer. The distance between the axles between the front wheel and the rear wheel does not change regardless of the position where the wheel is pulled out. Therefore, evenly distributed loads always act on each wheel, and even if a relatively heavy article is stored in the drawer, an excessive force is hardly applied to the wheel and its shaft portion.

In addition, since the front end side of the drawer is supported on the floor via the front wheels, even when a heavy object is stored and the drawer is pulled out, the load exerts a forward moment on the main body due to the load. Such a thing disappears at all.

Further, an inclined guide surface is provided at the front end of the drawer body guide rail, and a slider that is guided by the inclined guide surface and rides on the drawer body guide rail is provided only in the vicinity of the front end of the drawer body. At the final stage of the pushing operation,
Since only the front end of the drawer is lifted by the slider riding on the drawer guide rail, the front wheels are configured to be able to float from the floor surface,
The push-in operation can be performed lightly using the front wheels and the rear-side wheels until just before the drawer is just housed in the main body and is about to be finished, and in the final stage of the push-in operation, the slider is pulled out. Since the front end of the drawer need only be lifted by an amount sufficient to ride on the guide rail, the vertical movement of the center of gravity of the drawer in the vertical direction can be extremely small, and good operability can be secured. Then, in a state where the drawer is completely housed in the main body, mutual positioning between the drawer and the main body can be accurately performed through the slider and the drawer guide rail.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a stopper which locks a protruding piece 28 protruding from the side surface 2a of the drawer 2 to define a maximum withdrawal position (see FIG. 2) of the drawer 2. When the drawer 2 is to be removed as shown in FIG. 1, the rear end of the drawer 2 may be lifted and the protrusion 28 may be operated so as to pass above the stopper 18.

With such a configuration, both the front wheel 23 supported on the floor F and the rear wheel 24 supported on the puller guide rail 15 of the main body 1 are provided on the puller 2. Therefore, no matter where the drawer 2 is pulled out,
The axial distance between the front wheel 23 and the rear wheel 24 does not change. For this reason, evenly distributed loads always act on the wheels 23 and 24, and even if a relatively heavy article is stored in the drawer 2, it is impossible to apply it to the wheels 23, 24 and the shaft 27 thereof. There is no force to act. Therefore, high durability can be ensured without taking a large reinforcing measure that causes an increase in weight.

In addition, since the front end side of the drawer 2 is supported on the floor F via the front wheels 23, even if a heavy object is stored and the drawer 2 is drawn, the load is applied to the main body 1 in the front direction. There is no possibility that the falling moment acts. Therefore, when the drawer 2 is pulled out, the problem that the main body 1 falls down forward can be solved.

Further, at the final stage of the pull-out body pushing operation, the slider 25 rides on the pull-out body guide rail 15 so that the front wheels 23 can float from the floor surface F. The push-in operation can be performed lightly by using the front wheels 23 and the rear wheels 24 until immediately before the body 1 is just housed and finished, and the slider 25 is pulled out during the final push-in operation. Since the front end of the drawer 2 only needs to be lifted by a distance sufficient to ride on the body guide rail 15, the movement of the center of gravity of the drawer 2 in the vertical direction is extremely small, and good operability can be secured. Then, with the drawer 2 completely housed in the main body 1, the drawer 2 is passed through the slider 25 and the drawer guide rail 15.
And the main body 1 can be accurately positioned. In addition, this arrangement is convenient even when the whole storage furniture B is lifted and moved.

Also, near the front end of the left and right drawer guide rails 15,
In addition to providing a slider 17 that is in sliding contact with the outer surface of the drawer 2, the drawer 2 has a horizontal shaft 27 rotatably supported,
The left and right front wheels 23 are provided at both ends of the horizontal shaft 27 so as to be integrally rotatable, so that the left and right front wheels 23 are always controlled to rotate synchronously. Despite being supported by F, the drawer 2 can be pulled out straight.

In addition, since the back plate 213 of the drawer 2 has a U-shape in plan view in which the left and right side edges 213a extend to the front side, the drawer 2 may be opened to the side. Regardless, the rigidity of the drawer 2 can be effectively increased. That is, if the back plate 213 is formed in such a shape, it is possible to effectively suppress the deformation of the trunk 21 of the drawer 2 into a parallelogram in a side view due to the presence of the side edges 213a. Becomes

In addition, the form of the drawer is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, a drawer that can be drawn to the side may be provided between the end plate and the partition plate. When desks are placed on both sides of this storage furniture, a drawer that can be pulled out to the right and a drawer that can be pulled out to the left have different heights between the mirror plate and the partition plate. May be provided.

[Effect of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, it is possible to effectively prevent an excessive force from acting on the portion supporting the drawer. Therefore, high durability can be secured without taking a large-scale reinforcement measure that causes an increase in weight.

Also, even if the drawer is pulled out by storing heavy objects, the load does not cause a falling moment in the front direction to the main body, so the main body falls forward when the drawer is pulled out. Does not occur. Therefore, even if the drawer has a large capacity and a sufficient amount of drawer is secured, the installation stability is not impaired.

In addition, only at the final stage of housing the drawer in the main body, the slider provided near the front end is made to ride on the inclined guide surface of the drawer guide rail, so that light operability is ensured at the time of pushing operation. In addition, when the push-in operation is completed, the drawer can be accurately positioned on the main body, so that the stability and appearance at the time of storage can be effectively improved.
