Furthermore, the positional relationship between the wheel 3 of the box 2 and the support wheel 9 of the extractor 5 is such that the support wheel 9 is positioned in front of the wheel 3 in the example of FIG. 3, but this positional relationship is arbitrary. .
[0018]
The box body 2 having the extractor 5 that can be inserted and removed freely is disposed in the lower space of the bed frame F in FIG. 1 as the storage equipment S for the bed, but the present invention is disposed under the frame F. Since the connecting mechanism for connecting and integrating the box 2 with the bed B has the structure described below, the connecting mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, the same members and parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0019]
First, on the front side of the left and right sides of the top wall 2a of the box body 2 (or on the front side of the upper surface of the side wall 2b), support is provided by the connecting member 10 for connecting the box body 2 and the frame frame member 1 of the bed B. Linked support portions 6 and 6 are formed for inserting and supporting the legs 10a. This support portion 6 is composed of holes 6a and 6b provided side by side on the front and rear of the top wall 2a, and leg holding portions 6c and 6d formed by coil springs, which are provided coaxially with the holes 6a and 6b directly below the holes 6a and 6b. Has been. Reference numeral 6e denotes a spring mounting seat formed by a member parallel to the top wall 2a on the back surface of the top wall 2a (or the upper surface of the side wall 2b) for mounting the leg holding portions 6c, 6d by the spring.
[0020]
On the other hand, the connecting member 10 is inserted into the two holes 6a and 6b in the support portion 6 and has two support legs 10a having a substantially gate shape when viewed from the side held by the leg holding portions 6c and 6d by the coil spring. , 10b and a sandwiching member 10c having a substantially concave side section for fitting and sandwiching the frame frame member 1 in the bed B from below, are integrally formed on the upper portion thereof. Reference numeral 10d denotes a guide member that is integrated with the holding member 10c to form a concave shape of the holding member 10c and also serves as a bracket that complements the integration of the support legs 10a, 10b and the holding member 10c. In the present invention, it is arbitrary whether the clamping member 10c and the guide member 10d are formed as separate members or formed as an integral member from the beginning.
[0021]
The guide member 10d has a rear surface (right side in FIG. 4) formed on an inclined surface 10e that descends to the right, and support legs 10a and 10b, which will be described later, act as guides that sink into the holding portions 6c and 6d. . 10f is a tongue-like gripping member provided below the clamping member 10c, and the support portion 6 and the connecting member 10 described above form an example of a connecting mechanism in the present invention. Here, the gripping member 10f can also be formed by an integral member with the clamping member 10c and the guide member 10d. In this sense, the two support legs 10a and 10b can also be integrally formed with the members 10c to 10f by forging or pressing.
[0022]
An example of the bed storage equipment S of the present invention is configured as described above, and the connection of the equipment S to the bed B is performed as follows. First, the support legs 10a and 10b of the left and right connecting members 10 are inserted into the left and right holes 6a and 6b of the box 2, respectively, and inserted into the leg holding portions 6c and 6d by the left and right coil springs, respectively. Thus, the left and right connecting members 10, 10 are held by the left and right support portions 6, 6.
[0023]
Next, the box body 2 is inserted below the bed frame F. At this time, the slopes 10e of the guide members 10d of the left and right connecting members 10 and 10 are on the front side of the frame frame member 1 (see FIG. 4). When the box 2 is pushed in as it is, the slope 10e is pushed downward by the lower surface of the frame frame member 1.
[0024]
When the inclined surface 10e is pushed downward, the guide member 10d is lowered integrally with the support legs 10a and 10b. Therefore, the left and right connecting members 10 are spring forces of the coil springs forming the leg holding portions 6c and 6d, respectively. The spring is extended with the lower ends of the two supporting legs 10a, 10b in contact with the bottoms of the leg holding parts 6c, 6d, and sinks downward together with the leg holding parts 6c, 6d.
[0025]
When the top of the inclined surface 10e of the guide member 10d passes through the frame frame member 1 as described above, the whole connecting member 10 is pushed upward by the spring force of the extended leg holding portions 6c, 6d. Since it returns to its original position, the sandwiching portion 10c having a substantially concave side surface located immediately below the top of the slope 10e sandwiches the lower surface of the frame frame member 1 and is fitted to the frame frame member 1 from the lower surface side. To do.
[0026]
As a result of completing the coupling and integration of the box 2 of the storage device S of the present invention and the frame frame member 1 in the bed frame F by the above operation, the box 2 is fixed at this position on the lower surface of the bed B. In this state, the extraction body 5 can freely enter and leave the box 2 fixed by the action of the extraction rail member 4 and the guide member 8. Further, the holding portion 10c of the connecting member 10 attached to the support portion 6 of the box body 2 holds the member 1 at an arbitrary position in the length direction of the frame frame member 1 so that the frame frame member 1 and the box body 2 Therefore, the storage facility S can be set at an arbitrary position of the frame member 1 around the frame F. Moreover, since the setting operation can be performed by a one-touch operation, handling is extremely easy. FIG. 5 is a front view showing an example in which three storage facilities S are set on the frame F of the bed B utilizing the features of the connecting member 10 in the present invention.
[0027]
In the storage facility S of the present invention, even if the frame frame member 1 combined with the connecting member 10 is bent downward during use of the bed B on which the bed B is set, the support legs 10a and 10b of the connecting member 10 are provided. Since the springs of the held leg holding portions 6c and 6d extend, there is no problem with the connecting member 10 regardless of the bending of the frame frame member 1, and the box 2 of the storage equipment S is disposed at the position under the original bed. Can be maintained.
[0028]
In order to detach the storage device S of the present invention from the frame frame member 1 of the bed frame F, the grip portion 10f of the connecting member 10 mounted on the support portion 6 of the box 2 is grasped by hand, and the grip portion is held by the leg holding portion 6c. , 6d against the spring force, the top of the inclined surface 10e of the guide member 10d is positioned below the lower surface of the frame frame member 1, so that when the box 2 is pulled out to the near side, The box 2 can be pulled out from the lower surface of the bed frame F to the front while the extract 5 is stored. If the hand is released from the grip portion 10f, the connecting member 10 returns to the original position by the spring force of the holding portions 6c and 6d.
[0029]
Further, if the storage equipment S is pulled out from under the bed and the left and right connecting members 10 are removed from the support portion 6, the upper surface of the box 2 becomes a substantially complete flat surface. It can also be used as a stool or a springboard. If the extract 5 is pulled out, it can be used as a small bench by the upper surface of the box 2 and the lid 5d of the extract 5. In order to prevent the removed connecting member 10 from being dissipated, the box body 2 and the connecting member 10 may be connected by a short cable body such as a chain.
[0030]
The above-described storage device S of the present invention is a connecting member that is attached to the support 6 formed on the box 2 on the lower surface side of the frame frame member 1 of the frame F of the bed B and is held there. When in the state of being connected and fixed by 10, even if the bed is horizontally moved in this state, it can be horizontally moved together with the box 2 containing the extract 5.
[0031]
Further, in the storage equipment S, the support legs 10a and 10b of the connecting member 10 are formed on two legs by a casing, but in the present invention, the support legs 10a and 10b are three or more by the casing. The supporting legs may be formed of members other than the casing, such as a plate-shaped body, an angle member, or a pipe member, instead of the supporting legs by the casing. Thus, when the form of the support legs 10a and 10b is replaced with the form of another member, the shape of the hole that can accept the flat cross-sectional shape of the support leg that also employs the holes 6a and 6b is adopted. In this case, the winding shape of the coil springs of the leg holding portions 6c and 6d is also a winding shape that can accept the flat cross-sectional shape of the support leg. In addition, a cushion material such as a sponge or a leaf spring can be used instead of the spring, but in that case, a cylindrical body that holds the support leg from its outer surface, a sandwiched body by at least two plates, or the like. Used to form the support leg holder.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is as described above, and in the storage facility for the bed, it is fitted to the frame of the bed from the lower surface side to the support portion formed on the front upper side of the box side wall constituting the outer case of the storage facility. A detachable attachment of a connecting member including a holding portion and a support leg that is integral with the holding portion and is inserted through a hole in the support portion of the side wall and held by the support portion, Since the box placed in the space under the frame can be connected and integrated with the bed, the storage facility and the bed frame can be connected and detached easily, so to speak, the storage facility and the bed can be connected with one-touch operation. , Can be detached and easy to handle, can effectively use the lower space of the bed, and can move the entire storage facility horizontally while being integrated with the bed.
[0033]
In addition, the box constituting the storage facility is provided with a cushion body as a seat plate on the upper surface or the lid of the extractor, so that when the box is pulled out from the lower surface of the bed as necessary, the connecting member is The upper surface of the cushion can be used as a stool, or the box can be used as a step.
[0034]
Further, the extractor housed in the box is provided with a support ring attached to the front center thereof, and this support ring is provided so as to float slightly from the floor when stored in the box.
