Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a makeup shelf, for example, a wall-mounted makeup shelf that is used by being attached to a wall surface of a bathroom or bathroom.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, this type of shelves is integrally formed by a vacuum forming method using a thermoplastic resin material or the like. However, as shown in FIG. The mounting space 23 for mounting the rail member 22 for the mirror-equipped sliding door 21 must be secured and formed at the front end of the shelf 20 in the shape of a rear opening.
Although only the upper shelf 20 is shown in the drawing, it is needless to say that a mounting space needs to be secured and formed in the lower shelf (not shown) as in the case of the upper side.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, conventionally, in order to give rigidity (load resistance strength) to the load of the various fixtures B placed on the shelf 20, the material thickness t for forming the dressing shelf has to be formed thick.
In addition, it is considered that the material thickness t of only a part for molding the shelf is made thick so that the required rigidity can be obtained, and the other part is made thin. After molding the resin sheet in the mold, it is a molding method that vacuums and solidifies the mold surface. Therefore, it is difficult to mold a part of the thermoplastic resin sheet thicker or thinner. And it is impossible.
[0004]
In addition, conventionally, it is necessary to secure a mounting space, so that an effective volume as a shelf is narrowed. In other words, since the effective volume of equipment storage space, etc. secured on the rear side of the mirror-equipped sliding door is reduced, for example, the height of the equipment stored in the state of being placed on the lower shelf is restricted. Have
Conventionally, since drilling for attaching the rail member 22 with the bolting 24 or the like has to be performed, the productivity is poor, and improvement thereof has been desired.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the effective volume as a shelf by imparting the required rigidity to the shelf without increasing the material thickness. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic shelf that can improve productivity and can be produced at low cost by eliminating the need for post-processing such as attaching a rail member for a sliding door.
[0006]
[Means for achieving the object]
In order to achieve the object, the present invention comprises a shelf portion that is molded into a box shape from a thermoplastic resin material and horizontally protrudes forward, and a sliding door with a mirror is provided between the front end edges of the upper and lower shelf portions. In a decorative shelf that is slidable horizontally, a strip-shaped reinforcing core material is inserted into the upper and lower shelf parts, and the reinforcing core material is large in the width direction and depth direction of the shelf part. It is formed by bending a rail molding portion that is formed integrally with at least a rail portion for a sliding door connected to a shelf portion on the long edge of the front end.
Further, the reinforcing core material is a plate material made of a material having rigidity with respect to the equipment load placed on the shelf, and examples thereof include an iron plate and a plywood. The front edge of the reinforcing core material inserted into the upper shelf portion is bent and formed in addition to the rail molding portion, and the fixture receiving molding portion which is integrally formed by connecting the fixture receiving portion to the shelf portion. It is to become.
According to such a technical means, the rigidity with respect to the load of fixtures is provided to the upper and lower shelves by the inserted reinforcing core member.
In addition, the rail molding part on the long edge of the front end of the reinforcing core material inserted into the shelf part is connected to the shelf part so that the rail grooves on the upper and lower sides of the sliding door are slidably engaged with the shelf part. Molded.
Further, since the reinforcing core material is inserted into the shelf and is not exposed to the outside, a plate material made of an inexpensive material can be selected. That is, any plate material made of a material having rigidity required for the shelf can be used as a reinforcing core material.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A specific example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a decorative shelf A of the present invention, which is integrally formed with a thermoplastic resin material, and has shelf portions 1 and 2 that protrude horizontally toward the front, up and down, Between the upper and lower shelves 1 and 2, a mirror-equipped sliding door 5 is provided so as to be slidable laterally.
Then, the reinforcing cores 3 and 4 are inserted into the upper and lower shelves 1 and 2, respectively, so that the shelves 1 and 2 are given rigidity (load resistance strength) with respect to loads of various fixtures B.
[0008]
The dressing shelf A is a box shape having a substantially square shape from the vacuum molding method (or compression molding method) using a thermoplastic resin sheet, and the reinforcing core materials 3 and 4 are inserted into the upper and lower shelf portions 1 and 2. Molded with.
[0009]
The reinforcing cores 3 and 4 are inserted into the shelves 1 and 2 (see FIG. 3) to give the shelves 1 and 2 rigidity (load resistance strength) against various loads B. Thus, a plate material having a desired rigidity such as an iron plate or a plywood is used to form a band plate having a size that can be inserted over the entire width direction and depth direction of the shelves 1 and 2 (FIGS. 4 to 5). reference).
[0010]
The reinforcing core member 3 inserted into the upper shelf 1 has a rail portion 6 that is slidably engaged with the shelf 1 so that the rail groove on the lower side of the sliding door 5 with a mirror is slidably engaged with the long edge of the front end. The rail section 3-1 that is integrally formed is bent downward and the cross section formed by bending upward the equipment receiver molding section 3-2 that forms the equipment receiver 8 that prevents the equipment B from slipping and falling is formed. It is substantially T-shaped and is inserted into the upper shelf 1.
In addition, a rail portion 7 is provided on the long side edge of the reinforcing core member 4 that is inserted into the lower shelf portion 2, and the rail portion 7 that slidably engages the rail groove on the lower side portion of the sliding door 5 with a mirror is connected to the shelf portion 2. The cross section formed by bending upward the rail forming portion 4-1 that is integrally formed is substantially L-shaped, and is inserted into the lower shelf 2.
[0011]
The reinforcing core members 3 and 4 are used as a shelf forming portion for forming the shelf portions 1 and 2 by being set in a forming die C for forming the decorative shelf A (see FIGS. 6 to 7). That is, it is used as a part of the mold component of the mold C.
[0012]
Thus, according to the makeup shelf A described in detail in the present embodiment, the rigidity required for the upper and lower shelf portions 1 and 2 is provided by the reinforcing core materials 3 and 4 inserted during molding. The total material thickness t of the shelf A can be made significantly thinner than that of a conventional dressing shelf, and the cost can be reduced by saving the material.
Moreover, since the thickness of the upper and lower shelf parts 1 and 2 can be reduced, the effective volume as a shelf can be increased accordingly. That is, the effective volume of the equipment storage space 9 secured on the rear side of the mirror-equipped sliding door 5 between the upper and lower shelves 12 can be increased. For example, the equipment storage space in a state of being placed on the lower shelf 2. The height of the equipment B stored in 9 is relaxed so as not to be restricted, and the handling property is improved accordingly.
[0013]
In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a side wall of the dressing shelf A that has an approximately U-shape in a side view and is integrally provided on both sides of the upper and lower shelves 1 and 2, and 11 is a back wall.
[0014]
Next, the vacuum forming method of the dressing shelf A described in detail in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 7. First, as shown in FIG. Reinforcing member 3 having a substantially T-shape for upper shelf 1 having rail molded portion 3-1 and equipment receiving molded portion 3-2 at the edge, and for lower shelf 2 having rail molded portion 4-1 Reinforcing members 4 that are substantially L-shaped are set on the mold C, respectively. And after setting the thermoplastic resin sheet E which is a shaping | molding base material with which the periphery was hold | maintained by holding means D, such as a clamp, in the shaping | molding die C, it shape | molds by vacuum-evacuating and making it adhere | attach and solidify on a die surface (FIG. 7). State).
[0015]
Thus, when the mold is removed from the mold C after being firmly fixed to the mold surface, the set upper and lower reinforcing members 3 and 4 are connected to the shelves 1 and 2 so as to have long front edges. The mold with the vanity shelf A in the state inserted into the upper and lower shelves 1 and 2 without remaining in the mold C by the rail parts 6 and 7 formed integrally with the rail molding parts 3-1 and 4-1, respectively. Removed from C.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
Since the dressing shelf of the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.
Since the reinforcing core material is inserted into the upper and lower shelves so as to give rigidity to the load of the equipment, the material thickness of the dressing shelf can be reduced.
In addition, at the same time as the reinforcing core material is inserted into the shelf, the rail molded portion on the front edge of the reinforcing core has a rail portion that engages the rail grooves on the upper and lower sides of the sliding door so as to be slidable. To be molded.
Further, since the reinforcing core material is inserted into the shelf and is not exposed to the outside, a plate material made of an inexpensive material can be selected. That is, any plate material that can give the shelf the necessary rigidity can be used as a reinforcing core material.
[0017]
Therefore, according to the present invention, by inserting a reinforcing member having rigidity required for the shelf portion, the shelf portion protruding forward is provided to the upper and lower shelf portions with rigidity against the load of the equipment. Since the thickness of the material can be reduced, the effective volume as a shelf can be increased. Moreover, since post-processing such as attaching a rail member for a sliding door is not required at all as in the prior art, it is possible to provide a dressing shelf that enables productivity improvement and low-cost production.
