Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention is a device for fixing a front panel of a drawer to a drawer horizontal plate, and in particular, a drawer horizontal plate separated from the front panel by the insertion energy of the drawer is drawn back to the front panel by a spring device. This is to prevent the sound generated when a collision occurs.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when a drawer is inserted into a drawer insertion opening of furniture with a strong force, damage to a joint portion between a front panel and a horizontal plate occurs. In order to prevent this, see Japanese Patent Application Publication No. EU-B10-636327. The device was devised.

However, when a metal drawer provided with the above device is inserted into the drawer insertion slot of the furniture with a very strong force, an unpleasant sound is generated. It is not due to stopping against the mouth wall, but rather when the drawer cross-plate, once separated from the front panel by the insertion energy of the drawer, is again drawn to the front panel by the spring device and collides.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a drawer insertion opening for furniture provided with a side wall 1 and upper and lower plates, into which a drawer 2 is inserted. The front panel 4 of the drawer 2 is fixed to the drawer cross plate 5 by the device 3 according to the invention. Each drawer horizontal plate 5 has a notch in the outer protection plate near the front end, and the notch allows a tool such as a driver to reach the device 3.

The drawer horizontal plate 5 has a double wall structure and sandwiches the feed guide member and the fixing device 3 for the front panel of the drawer according to the present invention. In view of the function of the device 3, the payout rail is part of the drawer horizontal plate 5. The device 3 may be mounted directly on the drawer horizontal plate 5 or may be mounted on a payout rail.

The device 3 of the present invention has a holding portion 6 fixed to the front plate 4 with a tenon 16. A support portion 7 is provided on the drawer side, and the support portion is composed of a substrate 8 directly fixed to the drawer horizontal plate 5 and a receiving plate 9 screwed to the substrate. The receiving plate 9 is fixed to the substrate 8 so that the height can be adjusted by height adjusting screws 10 protruding through the elongated holes 11 of the receiving plate 9.

The lateral adjustment of the front panel 4 is performed by a lateral adjustment screw 28 supported by the holding unit 6.

On the receiving plate 9, a disk 20 constituting a connecting portion of the present apparatus is supported by pins 12. A rod 13 is pivotally mounted on the disc 20 and projects at its free end through a hole in a flange 14 of the receiving plate 9 and a compression spring 15 forming an elastic spring device is attached to this rod. Supported.

The support plate 17 (Sperriegel) further supported by the notch 18 on the upper side of the disk 20 is supported on the receiving plate 9.

The disc 20 is further provided with a lower notch 19. The holding portion 6 has a holding piece 21 which is locked to the notch 19 of the disk 20 when the front panel 4 is hooked.

Before the front panel 4 is hooked, the disk 20 is in the position shown in FIG. 5, that is, the compression spring 15 urges the disk 20 in the clockwise direction.

When the front panel is attached and the holding portion 6 is pushed between the horizontal plates 22 and 23 of the receiving plate 9, the holding piece 21 of the holding portion 6 abuts the edge 24 of the notch 19 of the disk 20. Then, the disk 20 is rotated counterclockwise against the action of the compression spring 15. At this time, the compression spring 15 tilts upward together with the rod 13. However, when the compression spring 15 has passed over the dead center position, the disk 20 is further rotated counterclockwise by the compression spring 15, and at this time, the holding portion 6 is engaged with the notch 19 of the disk 20. And is drawn into the drawer horizontal plate 5.

A stopper piece 31 of the support bar 17 (Sperriegel) is provided at a distance from a stopper edge 29 of the disk 20. Thus, the disc 20 can rotate back a short distance between the stopper edge 29 and the stopper piece 31 against the action of the compression spring 15. Thus, the compression spring 15 functions as a vibration damping device for the holding unit 6. When the drawer 2 is pushed into the drawer insertion opening of the furniture with excessive force and the front panel 4 collides with the front end face of the side wall 1, the support part against the spring pressure of the compression spring 15 together with the drawer horizontal plate 5. Thus, the distance between the stopper edge 29 of the disc 20 and the stopper piece 31 of the support bar 17 (Sperriegel) can be moved away from the holding portion 6. Subsequently, the drawer horizontal plate 5 and the support are pulled back by the compression spring 15 again. In this way, only a small force acts on the tenon 16 fixing the holding part 6 to the front panel 4.

When the front panel 4 is to be pulled out and removed from the horizontal plate 5, that is, when the holding section 6 is to be removed from the support section 7, a driver is inserted into the cross hole 25 of the disc 20, and at this time the driver is supported by the tip of the driver. The rod 17 (Sperriegel) is pushed upward to move the stopper piece 31 out of the rotation track of the disk 20. Then, the disc 20 can be rotated clockwise by the driver, so that the notch 19 rotates forward to release the holding piece 21 of the holding section 6.

According to actual experiments, when the drawer horizontal plate 5 is pulled back to the front panel 4 again by the spring 15, the vibration damping effect of the device 3 often causes unpleasant noise. Therefore, in the present invention, the shock absorber is envisioned as two roller-shaped brake shoes 30, and these brake shoes are supported by pins 26 fixed to the receiving plate 9 of the support portion 7.

The rotatable disk 20 has an arch-shaped slit 27 that is open on one side, and this slit receives the pin 26 when the front panel 4 is locked.

The brake shoe 30 abuts against the disc 20 from both sides like a kind of disc brake, whereby the vibration generated when the disc 20 rotates is largely suppressed, or the disc 20 and the support portion 7 The transmission of vibrations with the receiving plate 9 is similarly suppressed.

The roller-shaped brake shoe 30 is advantageously made of rubber or a flexible plastic material such as polyurethane. In this case, in the embodiment, the brake shoe 30 is constructed so that the side facing the disk 20 is curved.

The slit 27 for receiving the pin 26 is formed on the rear side of the notch 19 for the holding piece 21 of the holding section 6. This slit is delimited by an arch-shaped projection 32 of the disk 20.
