BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle for furniture, which can reliably prevent the doors of a cabinet and various storage cabinets from opening due to a strong impact such as an earthquake and dropping stored tableware or the like. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a door which can be freely opened and closed at an opening of a hanging cabinet or various storage cabinets is generally rotatably supported via a hinge. In the case of a door pivotally supported by such a hinge so that it can be freely opened and closed, when a strong impact such as an earthquake is applied, the swing of the building due to the impact and the moving pressure of the stored tableware and the like caused by the impact cause the shock. As shown in the figure, the door A is opened and the stored tableware B falls and is injured.
At present, there is a strong demand for such accident prevention measures from the viewpoint of safety.

As a countermeasure to prevent such an accident, it is conceivable to add a lock fitting to the door, but most furniture such as storage cabinets have a uniform interior. However, although it is for safety, if you later install the lock bracket,
There was a problem that a sense of incongruity occurred in the design, and the design quality as furniture was easily impaired.

As another countermeasure, a door lock device is provided which automatically locks when the door is closed, and releases the lock with a handle when the door is opened. However, in the case of such a door lock device, a process for mounting the lock device on the door side is required, and there is a problem that the number of assembly steps and the number of parts increase, resulting in an increase in cost. In addition, since the configuration of the lock device itself is complicated, when a strong impact acts on the lock device, the lock device breaks down and the door is not easily opened, so that there are many problems.

The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has as its object the purpose of opening the door by extremely simple means even if a strong shock such as an earthquake acts on the storage cabinet. And a lock handle is rotatably supported on the handle to be inconspicuous, thereby providing a handle for furniture that does not cause a sense of incongruity in design as furniture. It is.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a furniture handle according to the present invention is provided with a pivotally openable and closable support at an opening of a storage cabinet, such as a hanging cabinet, provided at an upper part of a room. A pair of vertically long handles are arranged side by side at a required interval between a lower portion of the front side of the door and a portion adjacent to the door, and the upper and lower ends of the handles are separated by a shaft. A lock body is rotatably supported on one lower shaft portion of one of these handles, and a free end portion of the lock body is provided below the other handle at the time of locking. In addition to forming a locking groove to be fitted and locked to the side shaft portion, the lock body is formed in such a size that it is hidden on the back side of the one handle in the unlocked state, and the lock body has In the unlocked state, the state in which the one handle is hidden on the back side is maintained. It is characterized in that the locking means is disposed for.
