By configuring as described in claim 8 , there is a space in the internal space, and the strength of the evacuation box can be further improved.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an evacuation box 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the evacuation box 1, and FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the evacuation box 1.
The evacuation box 1 includes a ceiling 11, a bottom surface 12, a left side surface 6, a right side surface 7, a back surface 8, a front surface 9, and a hinged door 10 provided on the front surface 9.
Among the above, the ceiling 11, the left side surface 6, the right side surface 7, the front surface 9, and the door 10 are made of impact-resistant members, and at least the front surface 9 and the door 10 are provided with furniture-like exteriors (FIG. 4). An iron plate or the like may be used as an impact-resistant member, but if a polycarbonate resin plate is fitted into a metal frame such as aluminum or iron to form a wall surface, a material with high impact strength and light weight can be obtained. Suitable for installation in houses.
The door 10 is provided with a locking mechanism.

  A viewing window 15 is provided on the front face 9 and the door 10. The viewing window 15 has a frame 18 attached with a half mirror 16 processed with acrylic or glass and a polycarbonate plate 17, or a frame 18 attached with a polycarbonate plate processed into a half mirror shape. FIG. 4 shows the former structure.

As shown in FIG. 2, the evacuation box 1 has a width that allows two people to enter side by side, and is used by one or two people. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a folding chair 19 is provided inside, and it is designed to have a depth that can be afforded when sitting on it, and a height that even a tall person can easily enter. It becomes a bowl-shaped size. Here, the saddle shape means a shape of furniture for storing clothes, and includes not only a clothes bag but also a closet shape.
Although not shown, an emergency notification device is provided inside the evacuation box 1.

The evacuation box 1 configured as described above is installed in a bedroom as shown in FIGS.
That is, the back surface 8 is in contact with the wall 4 of the room, and the furniture 3 is arranged on the left and right (FIG. 5). Alternatively, the back surface 8 and the left side surface 6 are in contact with the wall 4 of the room, and the furniture 3 is disposed in contact with the right side surface 7 and the front surface 9 (FIG. 6). In either case, the evacuation box 1 is fixed to the floor or the wall 4 of the room so that it cannot be easily overturned or moved by an intruder.
Since the exterior is furniture-like, it is integrated with the surrounding furniture 3 and is not easily recognized by the intruder as the evacuation box 1.

Moreover, since it can sit down with a margin, it can respond even when evacuation takes a long time or when an infant is held. In addition, since a reporting device is provided inside, it is possible to report after evacuating and ensuring safety.
Furthermore, since the portion exposed on the surface of the evacuation box 1 is formed of an impact-resistant member, an intruder who knows that he has escaped into the evacuation box can be destroyed even if he strikes or in some cases shoots. Can't be safe.

  If the intruder turns on the indoor lighting, the inside of the viewing window 15 cannot be seen by the intruder, but the inside of the intruder can be seen from the inside. In addition, fear of clashes in the narrow evacuation box 1 can be relieved. The viewing window 15 may be provided on the left side surface 6 or the right side surface 7.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 7 is a plan view showing how the evacuation box 1 is installed. The difference from the said embodiment is the point which made the door 10 not the opening door type but the sliding door type.
The sliding door 14 has the advantage that less space is required for opening and closing the door than the hinged door 10, but has the disadvantage that the door can be removed relatively easily from the rail portion.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 8 is a front view of the small window 34 as viewed from the inside. FIG. 9 is a horizontal sectional view of the small window 34 provided in the viewing window 15.
The difference from the above embodiments is that the small window 34 is provided on the front surface 9 or the door 10.
The small window 34 includes the through hole 20, the opening / closing bracket 21, the clasp 13, and the like.
A shaft 22 is provided at a position symmetrical to the clasp 13 with the through hole 20 in between, and an opening / closing bracket 21 is attached so as to be rotatable about the shaft 22. A notch 5 is provided at the tip of the opening / closing bracket 21, and the opening / closing bracket 21 is rotated so that the notch 5 can be engaged with the clasp 13.

The through-hole 20 is normally closed by applying a notch 5 to the clasp 13 as shown by a dotted line in FIG.
When used, the opening / closing bracket 21 is pivoted upward about the shaft 22 and removed from the clasp 13 to the state shown by the solid line in FIG. A nozzle 24 such as a tear spray is ejected from the through-hole 20 and sprayed to counterattack an intruder who is persistently attacking by trying to open the door or striking it. As shown in FIG. 9, when the small window 34 is provided in the viewing window 15, the small mirror 23 is provided in the half mirror 16 at a position corresponding to the through hole 20 and the nozzle 24 is inserted.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a locking mechanism provided on the door 10.
The difference from the above embodiments is that a locking mechanism including a handle 31, a lock handle 28, a lock pawl 29 and the like is attached.
In this locking mechanism, a handle 31 formed by connecting an outer handle portion 25 a provided on the outer side of the door and an inner handle portion 25 b provided on the inner side via a slide portion 32 is attached to the end surface of the door 10 by the holder 26. The handle 31 is normally urged by the elastic body 27 and positioned in a state indicated by a solid line so that the door can be opened and closed from the outside. By pulling out the inner handle portion 25b, the outer handle portion 25a is retracted, and the handle 31 can be stored at the position shown by the dotted line.
An inverted L-shaped lock handle 28 and a lock claw 29 are attached to the front surface 9 so as to be rotatable about the intersection of the two.
Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the outer handle portion 25a is attached to the slide portion 32 with screws 33 so as to be detachable.

  The locking mechanism configured as described above evacuates to the evacuation box 1, closes the door 10, pulls out the inner handle 25b and stores the outer handle 25a, and then rotates the lock handle 28 to lock the lock pawl 29, The door 31 is locked while the handle 31 is fixed by engaging with a notch 30 provided in the slide portion 32 drawn out together with the inner handle 25b.

Since the door 10 can be locked at the same time as the handle 31 is fixed, the safety can be ensured with few steps, and the door 10 cannot be opened and closed from the outside because the outer handle 25a is in close contact with the door 10. Further, when the intruder tries to pull out the outer handle portion 25a with a bar or the like, the outer handle portion 25a attached to the slide portion 32 is removed by the friction of the screw 33, so that the door 10 from the outside is removed. Opening and closing is difficult.
Furthermore, although not shown, if a recess is formed at a predetermined location of the door 10 where the outer handle 25a is in close contact during storage, and the outer handle 25a is fitted therein so that the outer handle 25a is not exposed, A bar or the like cannot be hooked on the outer handle 25a, and the door 10 is more difficult to open and close.
The locking mechanism is not limited to the one described above, but the above configuration has the advantage that it can be reliably locked by a simple locking operation and it is difficult for the intruder to unlock.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
12 and 13 are perspective views showing aspects of the evacuation box 1. The front surface 7 of the evacuation box 1 is projected in a dogleg shape (FIG. 12) or a bow shape (FIG. 13).
As a result, the strength of the front surface 7 can be improved, and a space is created in the internal space. In addition, the appearance can be made decorative, and it can be installed in the bedroom without any discomfort.
