2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pull-out operation in which a drawer is locked and a pull-out operation can be performed as a series of one-way operations by simply pulling the drawer, provided with a pull-out portion having substantially the same width as the front plate of the drawer of the cabinet. There is a cabinet (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-39064).

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, there is a problem that the latch operation piece can be seen from the handle when viewed from the front, so that the appearance is not good. In addition, since the pull portion is approximately the same width as the front plate of the drawer of the cabinet, the pull portion itself is heavy in operation, so that it is difficult to operate. Furthermore, since it can be provided only at the upper part of each drawer, the drawer is tilted to the near side and pulled out, so that there is a problem that more force is required. In view of this point, the present invention can directly tilt the engagement piece of the latch with a simple configuration, and furthermore, since the upper portion of the handle is opened, the latch operation piece is made using this opening. It is an object of the present invention to provide a latch device in a cabinet that has a cleaner appearance by locating the upper part so that it cannot be seen from the handle part.

[0004]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and comprises a cabinet body and a drawer that can be drawn out and stored from the cabinet body, and a handle portion is provided at the center of the surface of the front plate of the drawer. Provide. The handle is open at the top, and is provided at the upper opening of the handle so that the latch operation piece cannot be seen. The latch operation piece is provided so as to be tiltable to the front side, and an engagement piece is provided so as to engage with the latch operation piece, and the engagement piece is provided with a substantially U-shaped latch operation rod. A latch is provided on both sides of the front plate of the drawer so as to be linked to the drawer, and a locking portion is provided inside the side of the cabinet body so as to engage with the latch.

[0005]

[Function] The present invention adopts the above configuration,
With a simple configuration, the upper part of the handle is opened, and the latch operation piece is provided above this opening to make the appearance cleaner. In addition, the engaging piece is engaged so that the latch can be directly operated, and the pulling operation of the drawer in the locked state and the pulling-out operation can be performed in a series of one-way operations simply by pulling the pulling portion toward the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an outline of a cabinet provided with three stages of drawers according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is a cabinet body, 2 is a front plate of the drawer, 3 is a handle, 4 is a latch operation piece, Reference numeral 5 denotes a latch operating rod, and reference numeral 6 denotes a latch. Next, a specific embodiment of the latch device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the front part of the drawer taken out, FIG. 3 is a central longitudinal sectional view showing the handle part of the drawer in section, and FIG. 4 is a transverse sectional view of the front part of the cabinet. .
First, a description will be given based on the exploded perspective view shown in FIG. 2. As shown, the front plate 2 of each drawer includes a tray-shaped front plate 7,
Similarly, a rear plate 8 is provided, and a latch device is erected using a gap formed between the front plate 7 and the rear plate 8. A pull portion 3 is provided at a substantially central portion of a front plate 7 of each drawer. The pull portion 3 has a concave portion 9 into which a finger can be inserted, and an open port 10 is provided at an upper portion. The latch operation piece 4 is provided above the opening 10. Then, using the opening 10, the latch operation piece 4 is locked at one end so that the latch operation piece 4 can be tilted so that it can be operated with fingers. Since the latch operation piece 4 rotates through the engagement piece 11 attached to the substantially U-shaped latch operation rod 5, the bent end formed in the substantially U shape is engaged with the latch operation rod 12. The latch 6 linked to the latch actuating rod 12 slightly tilts left and right about one end, so that the latch 6 can be unlocked and the drawer can be pulled out. The latch operating rod 5 is rotatably fitted to a bracket 13 fixed to the rear plate 8.

Next, the operation will be described. In such a cabinet, when pulling out the drawer in the housed state, as shown in FIG. 3, the latch operation piece 4 is moved from the position shown by the solid line to the recessed portion of the pull handle 3. Insert your fingers into 9,
By tilting the latch operation piece 4 provided above the upper opening 10 of the handle part 3 to the near side to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, the engagement piece 11 is similarly rotated to the front side. Then, the substantially U-shaped latch operating rod 5 fixed to the engagement piece 11 is rotated, and the latch operating rod 12 is also rotated, and as a result, the latched state of the latch 6 is released. Then, the drawer can be pulled out to the near side. When the drawer is housed in the cabinet body 1, the front plate 2 of the drawer is pushed to house the drawer in the cabinet body 1, so that the locking portion 15 provided on the side of the cabinet body 1 is moved to the end of the latch 6. The spring 16 overcomes the urging force of the spring 16 and gets over it. At this time, the locking portion 15 and the locking hole 14 are locked by the urging force of the spring 16.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained based on the above configuration. (1) Since the upper portion of the handle portion is opened, and the latch operation piece is provided above the opening portion by using this opening portion, when viewed from the front, the latch operation piece is invisible and clear. Looks good. (2) In the cabinet according to the present invention, the drawer housed in the cabinet body is simply pulled forward through the latch operation piece of the pull portion of the drawer, and the release operation of the locked state and the drawing operation are performed in series. Since the drawing operation can be performed in one direction, the drawing operation of the drawer is simple. (3) Since the impact at the time of pulling out occurs only in the direction facing forward, it is suitable for putting in a stored item that may be disturbed in the alignment state. (4) Since the pull portion is not substantially the same length as the width of the front plate of the drawer, the weight is light, and the drawer can be pulled out and stored very smoothly.
