Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a drawer front plate body used as the lowest stage of a cabinet for kitchen furniture such as a sink as a component of a system kitchen, a sink, a sink as a single unit, and a stove.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The applicant intends to increase the storage capacity of the base cabinet by eliminating the pedestal that was a dead space from the base cabinet of the conventional system kitchen etc., and at the same time, large kitchen utensils, cooking utensils and small containers etc. We thought about improving the usability by separating and storing. Specifically, a plurality of drawers are arranged at the bottom of the front surface of the box body whose front surface is opened by the bottom plate, the left and right side plates, the back plate and the top plate, and the front plate of this drawer is the bottom plate of the box body. Invented a kitchen furniture cabinet (see FIG. 17 and FIG. 18) characterized in that a close portion was recessed and made into a kick, and filed as Japanese Patent Application No. 11-38099, No. 11-14921, etc. Actually commercialized.
19 and 20, the lowermost drawer front plate F was created during the application and commercialization, but the main body 20 is formed of an aluminum extrusion-molded product. In order to form, the upper part is recessed toward the cabinet side and is formed in a substantially inverted J shape, connected to the horizontal step part 23 via the upper front plate 22, and the lower part close to the floor surface so as to be recessed through the step part 23. This is connected to the front plate 24 and used as a kick.
[0003]
A step plate 23 of the main body 20 is provided with a partition plate 30 rising from its edge so as to serve as a storage pocket, and a side cap that is an injection-molded product made of ABS resin or the like on both side ends. 40 was inserted to form the front drawer plate F.
Since the handle 21 does not protrude to the front surface, it is as easy to use as a normal form without obstructing the person standing in front of it, and by forming a storage pocket on the step 23, a packaging film, pasta, buckwheat It is possible to store the storage of bags, etc. separately.
The height of the lower front plate 24 to be kicked is 10 cm, and the upper front plate 22 thereon is about 15 cm high.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The main body of the front plate F of the lowermost drawer in the previous invention and design is an aluminum extrusion-molded product in consideration of formability and manufacturing cost, but a stainless steel plate is used as a material for the table top, cabinet body and door. In the case of things, there was a problem that the uniformity of the design as a whole was impaired by the appearance of metals with different textures that were common in the case of being made of metal.
[0005]
Therefore, it is conceivable to form the main body of the front plate F having the same shape as before by using a thin steel plate such as a stainless steel plate as a raw material instead of an aluminum extrusion-molded product, and by press bending. And I thought about adopting a pattern or pattern with embossing, coining, coloring, etc. on the front face that I could see most. However, because the handle has an inverted J shape, the back side becomes the front, I faced the problem that the back side with no pattern appeared. Of course, attaching a pattern or pattern to the front and back is not a good measure because it raises the manufacturing cost, and if it is made of thin steel plate, it may be injured if the edge of the handle touched by the hand is not processed, and it is not safe. There was also a problem.
Furthermore, thin steel plates are not stiff with respect to load, and in particular, if they are wide front plates, bending occurs when gripping and pulling them out, making it difficult to grasp, and reducing and reinforcing the amount of bending is necessary.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, in the present invention, the substantially Z-shaped front plate body as a whole extends from the upper front plate to the almost inverted J-shaped handle through which the fingertip enters from below through the horizontal stepped portion from the lower front plate to be kicked. Is formed by bending the handle in advance to make it double, and the bent base, that is, the tip of the handle is formed into a cylindrical shape.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The drawer front plate body 1 at the bottom of the cabinet for kitchen furniture according to the present invention will be described below in accordance with the embodiment shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a front plate F of a drawer according to the present invention, and includes a front plate body 1, a center panel 2, a back panel 3 (see FIG. 2) for forming a pocket on the back of the front plate body 1, and It consists of the side cap 4 which covers a side end.
[0008]
The front plate body 1 is formed by press-bending a stainless steel plate. Basically, in order to form the handle 11, the upper plate is recessed toward the cabinet and formed in a substantially inverted J shape, and then vertically. It is connected to a horizontal step portion 13 through an upper front plate 12 and is connected to a lower front plate 14 close to the floor surface so as to be recessed toward the cabinet side through the step portion 13 so as to be used as a kick. 11 is preliminarily folded to be double, and the bent base, that is, the tip of the handle 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape.
[0009]
The basic shape of the front plate body 1 is almost the same as that shown as the conventional example, but a thin steel plate such as a rectangular stainless steel plate as shown in FIG. 3 is formed by press bending.
In FIG. 3, the notch a and the notch a provided from the side edges in the longitudinal direction are folds, that is, bent 180 degrees, so that they are notched in advance because the material protrudes toward the outside, and the bent portion is clearly indicated. . b is an adhesive such as a double-sided tape that is applied to the side end in advance.
[0010]
FIG. 4 and subsequent figures show an outline of the bending process.
In FIG. 4, V-bending is performed with a punch and a die (not shown) using a notch a and an extension line of the notch a as a bending base.
FIG. 5 shows a state where the fold is made, that is, it is bent 180 degrees to be doubled. At this point, the portion that becomes the double handle 11 is not yet closely attached.
In FIG. 6, a round bar is sandwiched between the bent bases so that the handle 11 is in close contact.
The portion where the round bar is sandwiched becomes the tip of the handle 11, the edge is bonded by the adhesive b, and the spring back does not occur.
In FIG. 7, a portion touched by the fingertip of the handle 11 is bent by a round shape.
FIG. 8 shows a state in which the inner depth of the handle 11 is bent at a right angle.
FIG. 9 shows a state of returning to the front end side of the handle 11 approximately 45 degrees so as to be an inverted J shape.
FIG. 10 shows a state where a portion from the handle 11 to the upper front plate 12 is bent. By making the folded part up to the slope in this way, it will be difficult to peel off and the strength will increase, and the pattern or pattern will appear even when viewed from the top when the drawer is pulled out, and there is no pattern back Will not be visible.
FIG. 11 shows a state in which the lower end of the lower front plate 14 is bent to the back side. This is done in order to prevent the bent end from hitting the upper die or the lower die and being unable to process.
FIG. 12 shows a state where the lower front plate 14 is bent at a right angle so as to define the upper end portion.
FIG. 13 shows a state where the horizontal step 13 and the upper front plate are bent at a right angle.
[0011]
In the above-described press bending process, if the handle 11 is first folded, the other order can be appropriately changed.
The center panel 2 is attached with an adhesive such as a double-sided tape over the entire length of the back surface of the lower front plate 14 of the front plate body 1 obtained in this way, and the two dovetail-shaped protrusions 2a of the center panel 2 are The projection 3a of the slightly short back panel 3 is slid and fitted (see FIGS. 2 and 16) so that the upper part thereof faces the upper front plate 12. The center panel 2 and the back panel 3 are formed from an extruded product of aluminum. This is because they are inside and are not visible in normal conditions.
Finally, a side cap 4 made of a plastic molded product is put on both side ends and brought into contact with the side end of the back panel 3. At this time, a round hole 11a is made at the end of the upper end surface of the front plate body 1 handle 11, and a protrusion 4a that fits into the hole is provided inside the side cap 4 so that it is difficult to come off. Further, below the side cap 4, a nut 5 is housed inside the dovetail-shaped protrusion 2 a of the center panel 2 on the back surface thereof, and screws 6 and 6 are screwed into the holes 4 b on the back surface of the side cap 4 to be stopped.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
In the first aspect of the invention, the front plate body of the drawer is substantially Z-shaped as a whole from the upper front plate to the substantially inverted J-shaped handle from which the fingertip enters from below through the step parallel to the lower front plate to be kicked. When the front plate was formed by bending a thin steel plate, the handle was previously folded and doubled, so that the rigidity increased and it became easier to grasp.
In addition, since the bent base at the tip of the handle has a cylindrical shape, the fingertip is hooked and can be reliably pulled out.
Since the handle portion has been folded in advance, even if a pattern such as embossing, coining, coloring, etc. is applied to one side of a stainless steel plate or the like, it will appear entirely on the front surface in use.
