An inner drawer disposed along a second rail provided on a side plate of the cabinet so as to be able to be pulled out independently of the drawer, and the inner drawer is engaged with the drawer by a locking means. is sealed, can be pulled out to be configured in conjunction with the drawer operation of the drawer, along with the time of the locked state of the locking means is released is disposed for drawer separately from the said drawer, said In the state where the drawer is housed in the cabinet, the locking means maintains the locked state when the drawer is pulled by the first pulling force, and the inner drawer is pulled out in conjunction with the drawer. Pulled by force Drawer only that locked state is released, characterized in that the drawn in.

The locking means preferably locks the drawer and the inner drawer using the magnetic force of the magnet, as in the second aspect of the invention. Moreover, it is preferable that the said latching means is each arrange | positioned through the buffer means at the longitudinal direction both ends of the back plate of the said drawer | drawer and an inner drawer like the invention of Claim 3 .

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the inner drawer that can be pulled out along the second rail provided in the cabinet can be separated from the second rail provided in the cabinet. Since the drawer that can be pulled out along the rail is locked by the locking means, the inner drawer that can be pulled out in the drawer can be pulled out along a different rail from the drawer. It can be easily applied to a cabinet and can improve versatility. In addition, since the inner drawer moves along a rail different from the drawer without changing, etc., it is possible to eliminate the adverse effect of the drawer on the guard pipe and the like, and there is no occurrence of abnormal noise when the inner drawer is pulled out. In addition, it is possible to obtain a drawer and storage structure with excellent usability, such as a smooth inner drawer operation. Furthermore, since the inner drawer is arranged so that it can be pulled out separately from the drawer when the locking state of the locking means is released, for example, the inner drawer can be pulled out with the drawer pulled out, Only the inner drawer can be stored from the state in which both drawers are pulled out, and the ease of use of the drawer can be improved, such as easy loading and unloading of the contents in the drawer.

In addition, when the drawer in the retracted state is pulled with the first pulling force, the locking state of the locking unit is maintained, and when the drawer is pulled with the second pulling force, the locking state of the locking unit is released. The drawer and the inner drawer can be locked in a desired state by the pulling force of the drawer, so that the drawer and the stored item can be taken in and out of the inner drawer, and the usability of the drawer can be further improved.

Further , according to the invention described in claim 2 , in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 , since the locking means locks the drawer and the inner drawer using the magnetic force of the magnet, it is inexpensive and predetermined. By using a magnetic magnet, locking by the locking means and release thereof can be performed easily and smoothly.

Further, according to the invention described in claim 3 , in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1 or 2 , the locking means are respectively provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the back plate of the drawer and the inner drawer via the buffer means. Since it is arranged, the drawer and the inner drawer can be reliably locked by the locking means, and the occurrence of abnormal noise when the locking means is locked or released by the buffer means can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 to 7 show an embodiment of a system kitchen adopting a drawer structure according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the system kitchen, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a cooking table cabinet, FIG. 3 and FIG. Is a half sectional view and a plan view, FIGS. 5 and 6 are a side view and a rear view of the main part, and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the system kitchen 1 includes a sink cabinet 2 having a sink 6 disposed on the upper surface, a dryer cabinet 3 disposed on the right side of the sink cabinet 2 and incorporating a dish dryer, and the sink cabinet 2. The cooking table cabinet 4 arranged on the left side of the cooking table, the stove table cabinet 5 arranged on the left side of the cooking table cabinet 4 and provided with the stove table 7 on the upper surface, etc. are provided on the upper surfaces of these cabinets 2-5. The counter 8 is arranged.

The sink cabinet 2 and the stove cabinet 5 are provided with a predetermined number of drawers 9 , and the cooking table cabinet 4 is provided with three drawers 10 to 12 in the vertical direction, for example. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the cooking table cabinet 4 (hereinafter simply referred to as the cabinet 4) has a front frame 4a, left and right side plates 4b, a bottom plate 4c, a back plate 4d and the like so as to have an opening on the front surface. It is formed, and three drawers 10 to 12 are disposed in the front opening so as to be capable of being withdrawn. Of the three drawers 10 to 12, the middle drawer 11 has an inner drawer 13 disposed therein.

  That is, the drawer 11 is formed in a box shape by a front end plate 11a, left and right side plates 11b, a bottom plate 11c, a back plate 11d, and the like, and a roller (not shown) provided on the left and right side plates 11b is a side plate 4b of the cabinet 4. By being engaged with a rail 14 (see FIG. 3) provided on the inner surface, it is arranged so that it can be pulled out with respect to the cabinet 4. A guard pipe 16 made of metal or resin is attached above the side plate 11b of the drawer 11 between the back surface of the end plate 11a and the back plate 11d, and is formed behind the end plate 11a above the guard pipe 16. An inner drawer 13 is disposed in the internal space of the drawer 11.

  The inner drawer 13 is formed by a front end plate 13a, left and right side plates 13b, a bottom plate 13c, a back plate 13d, and the like into a box shape having an approximately half area of the drawer 11, and rollers provided on the left and right side plates 13b. By engaging a rail 15 (see FIG. 3) provided on the inner surface of the side plate 4 b of the cabinet 4 (not shown), the cabinet 4 is disposed so as to be capable of being pulled out independently of the drawer 11. At this time, the rail 15 for the inner drawer 13 and the rail 14 for the drawer 11 are formed so that the length of the rail 15 is shorter than the length of the rail 14 by a predetermined dimension so that the inner drawer 13 has a predetermined distance. Is set.

  Further, the inner drawer 13 and the drawer 11 are locked by the locking means 17 on the back plate 13d, 11d side. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the locking means 17 includes a magnet 17 a disposed by magnet mounting plates 17 b at both ends in the left-right width direction of the back plate 13 d of the inner drawer 13, and a back plate 11 d of the drawer 11. Are formed by suction plates 17c and the like disposed at both ends in the left-right width direction. At this time, the magnet mounting plate 17b is formed in an L shape in a side view, and a disk-shaped magnet 17a, for example, is fixed to the vertical portion extending downward thereof via an adhesive 18, and the magnet 17a of the suction plate 17c. A thin cushioning material 19 (buffering means) made of felt, sponge, or the like is fixed to the portion where is adsorbed.

  The attracting force of the magnet 17a and the attracting plate 17c is attracted when the drawer 11 is pulled with a normal pulling force (first pulling force), as will be described later, due to the magnetic force of the magnet 17a itself or its magnitude. The state is maintained, and the suction state is set to be released when the drawer 11 is pulled by a pulling force (second pulling force) that momentarily applies a relatively strong force to the drawer 11. Further, regarding the positional relationship between the magnet 17a and the attracting plate 17c of the locking means 17, it is possible to dispose the magnet 17a having the opposite configuration to the illustrated example on the drawer 11 side and the attracting plate 17c on the inner drawer 13 side. It is.

  Next, operation | movement of the drawer 11 comprised in this way is demonstrated based on FIG. First, in the retracted state in which the drawer 11 is pushed into the cabinet 4, the front opening of the cabinet 4 is closed by the end plate 11 a of the drawer 11 as shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 2 and 7. In this state, when the drawer 11 is pulled with the above-described normal pulling force (first pulling force), the drawer 11 moves forward along the rail 14 and is locked to the drawer 11 by the locking means 17. The inner drawer 13 is also moved forward along the rail 15 in a state interlocked with the drawer 11, and is set at the position of the two-dot chain line in FIG.

  When the drawers 11 and 13 are pulled out, the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 move along the dedicated rails 14 and 15, respectively, so that the load of the inner drawer 13 is not applied to the guard pipe 16 of the drawer 11 and the like. The drawer 13 moves on one rail 15, and both drawers 11 and 13 are smoothly drawn out to the cabinet 4. The drawer position at the foremost end of the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 is regulated by the length of the rails 14 and 15 and a stopper (not shown), and when the drawer 11 is pulled out to the maximum, the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 It may be set so that the locked state is maintained, or when the leading edge of the inner drawer 13 is set slightly rearward and the drawer 11 is pulled out to the maximum, the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 It may be set so that a predetermined gap is generated between the magnet 17a and the attracting plate 17c so that the locked state is released.

  Then, when the loading and unloading work is completed at the drawer positions of the drawers 11 and 13, and the end plate 11a of the drawer 11 is pushed rearward, the drawer 11 moves rearward along the rail 14, and this The inner drawer 13 locked to the drawer 11 by the locking means 17 also moves rearward along the rail 15 in a state of interlocking with the drawer 11, and both drawers 11 and 13 are indicated by solid lines in FIG. Set to storage position. Even when the drawers 11 and 13 are stored, the drawers 11 and 13 move along the dedicated rails 14 and 15 without interfering with each other, and are smoothly stored in the cabinet 4.

   On the other hand, in the retracted state of the drawer 11, when the end plate 11a of the drawer 11 is pulled with the second pulling force stronger than the normal pulling force described above, the locked (adsorbed) state of the magnet 17a of the locking means 17 and the suction plate 17c. 7 is released, and only the drawer 11 moves forward along the rail 14 and is pulled out of the cabinet 4 as shown in FIG. At this time, the inner drawer 13 is stored in the rear side of the rail 15. For example, by inserting a hand from the upper opening of the drawer 11 and pulling the end plate 13 a of the inner drawer 13 forward, 13 can be pulled out. Thereby, for example, when there is a relatively high stored item at the front part in the drawer 11, only the drawer 11 is pulled out to take out the stored item. It will be possible to put in and out of the storage.

  Further, when the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 are unlocked, the drawers 11 and 13 are stored in the cabinet 4 by moving the back plate 11d by pushing the drawer 11 backward. The suction plate 17c is also moved and brought into contact with the magnet 17a of the inner drawer 13 to be attracted. At this time, since the buffer material 19 is fixed to the attracting plate 17c, the magnet 17a is attracted to the magnet 17a through the buffer material 19, and an abnormal noise (sucking sound) is generated when the attracting plate 17c and the magnet 17a are attracted. Occurrence is suppressed. Further, when the drawer 11 is pulled out forward separately from the inner drawer 13, the drawers 11 and 13 are locked together by the locking means 17 during the storing operation by simply pushing the drawer 11. It will be stored in the storage position of the cabinet.

  That is, in the case of the drawer 11, the inner drawer 13 disposed in the inner space of the drawer 11 is moved along the dedicated rail 15, and the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 are engaged on the back plates 11d and 13d side. By locking by the stopping means 17, in the case of a normal pulling force, the drawers 11 and 13 can be pulled out and stored in an integrated state without interfering with each other, and with a relatively strong force. By pulling, the locking state of the locking means 17 is released and only the drawer 11 can be pulled out.

  As described above, in the drawer 11 of the above-described embodiment, the rail 14 dedicated to the drawer and the rail 15 dedicated to the inner drawer 13 are arranged on the side plate 4b of the cabinet 4, respectively, and the rear plates 11d and 13d of both drawers 11 and 13 are arranged. Are locked to each other by the locking means 17, the inner drawer 13 disposed so as to be capable of being pulled out in the drawer 11 can be pulled out and stored along a rail 15 different from the drawer 11. As a result, it can be easily applied to the cabinet 4 of various sizes, for example, depending on the position of the rail 15, and versatility can be improved. At the same time, when the inner drawer 13 is pulled out or stored, the drawer 11 does not interfere with the guard pipe 16 or the like, so that it is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal noise when the drawer 11 is pulled out and to prevent the drawer 11 from being deformed. As a result, it is possible to provide a cabinet 4 that is easy to use because a smooth drawing operation of the inner drawer 13 over a long period of time can be obtained.

  Moreover, since it can respond by providing the rails 14 and 15 for exclusive use in the cabinet 4, each member (especially rails 14 and 15) can be made common, and a rail and a cabinet are individually set (development) conventionally. This eliminates the need for the cabinet 4 which is advantageous in terms of cost. Further, by devising the shape of the locking means 17 (particularly the magnet mounting plate 17b) and the shape (length and position) of the rail 15, the installation height and depth position of the inner drawer 13 with respect to the drawer can be set as desired. The cabinet 4 can be easily developed according to the user's preference. Further, since the locking means 17 is positioned on the back plate 11d, 13d side of the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13, the locking means 17 does not get in the way when the stored items are taken in and out, and when the drawer 11 is pulled out. It is difficult to visually recognize from the front, and the appearance of the cabinet 4 can be prevented from being deteriorated.

  Further, by pulling the end plate 11a of the drawer 11 with a second pulling force that is stronger than the normal pulling force, the locking means 17 is unlocked, so that the inner drawer 13 is moved forward while the drawer 11 is pulled out. For example, it is possible to improve the usability of the drawer 11 such that, for example, the inner drawer 13 can be pulled out after the high-thickness stored in the front portion of the drawer 11 is taken out. In particular, the locking state of the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 can be set as desired by the pulling force of the drawer 11, so that the locking means 17 can be released and locked without providing any special parts. It becomes possible to further improve the usability of the drawer 11 simply.

  Furthermore, since the magnet 17a and the attracting plate 17c are used as the locking means 17 and the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 are locked using the magnetic force of the magnet 17, the magnet 17a having a predetermined magnetic force is inexpensive and has a structure. By using, the locking means 17 can be locked and released easily and smoothly. In addition, since the locking means 17 are disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the back plate 11d, 13d of the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 via the cushioning material 19, the drawer 11 and the inner drawer 13 are connected to the locking means 17 respectively. Thus, the buffer member 19 can suppress the generation of noise when the locking means 17 is locked or released, and a smoother drawing operation or storing operation can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the magnet 17a and the attracting plate 17c are used as the locking means 17. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a pair of cloth fasteners or a rotatable roller and a hook-shaped hook that sandwiches the hook. Other appropriate locking means that can be attached to and detached from each other, such as a locking member made of, can be employed. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the locking means 17 is formed by the magnet 17a, the suction plate 17c and the like disposed at both ends in the left-right width direction of the back plate 13d of the inner drawer 13 and the back plate 11d of the drawer 11. However, one magnet 17a and a suction plate 17c may be provided at the center of the rear plate 13d of the inner drawer 13 and the rear plate 11d of the drawer 11 in the left-right width direction. The position and the like are not limited.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the locking means 17 is released by the magnitude of the pulling force of the end plate 11a of the drawer 11. For example, an electromagnet and an attracting plate are used as the locking means 17 to energize the electromagnet. A switch may be provided on the end plate 11a or the like of the drawer 11 so that when the switch is turned on, the electromagnet is turned off to release the locking state of the locking means 17. As a method of releasing the locking means 17, a handle is provided on the end plate 11a so as to be tiltable, and the handle and the locking means 17 are connected to each other, and the locking means is released when the handle is tilted. It is also possible to adopt a typical configuration.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the locking state of the locking means 17 is released when the end plate 11a of the drawer 11 is pulled by the second pulling force. For example, only the end of the end plate 11a is pulled. In this case, the two drawers 11 and 13 can be released by being pulled apart with a predetermined force by hand, and the latch means 17 can be prevented from being inadvertently released. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example in which the inner drawer 13 was provided as a drawer | drawer of the middle stage of the kitchen table cabinet 4 was demonstrated, you may apply to the drawers 10 and 12 of the upper stage or lower stage of the kitchen table cabinet 4, It can also be applied to various drawers 9 of the other cabinets 2 and 5 of the system kitchen 1.

  In addition, the overall configuration of the system kitchen 1, the configuration of each cabinet itself, the configuration of the drawer 11 and the internal drawer 13 and the like in the above embodiment are also examples. For example, the guard pipe 16 of the drawer 11 is eliminated, or each drawer 11 , 13 can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of each invention according to the present invention.
