[Industrial applications]

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to fall prevention of furniture used at home, for example, and more particularly to a lightweight fall prevention device of furniture made of synthetic resin.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Tall furniture, such as multi-tiered cabinets, has a structure shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-29031 to prevent accidental falls.

The structure uses a suction cup 1 as shown in FIG. The furniture main body 2 is formed in the shape of a tall rectangular box, and the front surface is open in multiple stages. A plurality of drawers 3 are detachably mounted from the front surface which is open in a multi-stage manner.

The lower surface of the furniture main body 2 configured as described above is held in a state of floating from the floor surface 5 by the leg portions 4 located outside. The base end of the suction cup 1 is connected to the lower front surface of the furniture body.

The suction cup 1 is pressed against the floor surface 5 to be adsorbed to the floor surface 5, and the furniture body 2 is fixed to the floor surface 5.

According to such a structure, even if the furniture main body 2 is a product made of a relatively light material such as synthetic resin, when the drawer 3 is pulled out, the furniture main body 2 may be dragged by this and move. Disappears.

However, the suction fixing to the floor surface 5 by the suction cup 1 does not provide the effect of preventing the furniture body 2 from falling. In other words, when a force that causes the furniture body 2 to fall is exerted due to an earthquake or the user's carelessness, the suction cup 1 may come off the floor surface 5 and the fixing function may be easily lost.

As described above, the fixing by the suction cup 1 can fix the furniture main body 2 to the floor surface 5 by an extremely simple work, but has a weak effect on the force of the furniture main body 2 falling down. There is also a drawback.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the general furniture fall prevention device, if the fixing work is facilitated, the fall prevention effect is lowered, and the required sufficient effect cannot be obtained. In addition, if the furniture body is fixed with sufficient strength to prevent it from tipping over, there is a problem in terms of functionality, such as removal work being required when moving the furniture body.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides first engaging means on a side surface or a rear surface of a furniture main body so as to extend in parallel to a wall surface of a fixed object to be fixed, and to face the first engaging means. The second engaging means extending parallel to the fixed object wall surface is fixed to the corresponding fixed object wall surface, and the first engaging means and the second engaging means are engaged with each other. An overturning prevention device for furniture is provided with engagement and disengagement means that can easily remove each other by relative movement.

[0011]

[Action]
