Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvements in drawers such as desk drawers, paper compartments such as letter cases, and other similar relatively thin drawer trays.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called drawer-type tray for storing desk drawers, letter cases, and other documents is generally box-shaped with an open top, and has flat sides and bottoms. Are arranged so that they can be smoothly put in and out by arranging rollers on the outer surface.
As a special mode, there is a structure in which when the tray is pulled out, the front part descends obliquely downward and the entire tray is held in an inclined state.

[0003]

The use of the tray frequently involves throwing one or two documents into the tray as it is, and the work of taking out the documents frequently occurs. Removing a single leaf document from a tray with a flat bottom is awkward and often results in document damage. Similarly, thick documents are difficult to remove when they are on the bottom of the tray.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a drawer for a desk, a letter case, or other similar tray, which is provided with a restorable member such as spring steel at a predetermined position when the tray is pulled out. The above problem was solved by making it refractible.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In each of the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a tray, a back portion 2 parallel to the desk 10.
And a front part 3 which is bent and inclined downward.
The back portion 2 and the front portion 3 are connected to each other by a hinge 4 on the back surface of the tray 1, and a bending restricting member 5 is provided to prevent excessive bending.
Are arranged. Tray 1 has front 3 as necessary
Is provided, which is allowed to bend and normally functions as a general tray parallel to the back portion 2.

[0006] Such a means is formed by fitting a spring steel 6 curved as shown in FIG. 3 to holding members 13, 14, 15, 16 fixed to the back surfaces 11, 12 of the tray 1. It can be composed of

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the bending restricting member 5 is attached to the piece members 22 and 23 fixed to the side surfaces 20 and 21 of the inner portion 2 and the front portion 3 of the tray 1, respectively.
, And both ends of the cable member 24 are formed so as to be thick so as not to fall off from the bridge members 22 and 23, or one end is formed on one side of the inner part 2 and the front part 3 of the tray 1 as shown in FIG. 2
Metal fitting 25 rotatably locked to one of 0 and 21
Any structure other than the illustrated one can be applied as long as the structure can achieve the same function, such as a structure formed by a restricting member 26 that engages with the metal fitting 25 and restricts the sliding of the metal fitting 25.

[0008]

In addition to the above, any structure having a mechanism for allowing the tray 1 to refract and a mechanism for restricting the refraction can exert the same function as described above, and various modifications are possible. Needless to say,

[0010]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a tray or a drawer or a part having a function equivalent to that of a drawer is bent downward so that a document or the like stored therein can be bent. It is very effective because it facilitates confirmation and removal.
