Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B to 3. In FIG. 1A, the illustration of the unit cabinet 2 is omitted for explanation.
The cabinet 1 shown in the figure includes a plurality of unit cabinets (cabinet main bodies) 2 and a counter 3 placed over the upper surface thereof as shown in FIGS. Is shown. The cabinet 1 is provided along the wall surface 10 of a living room space such as a living room, and is arranged so that the wall surface 10 and the back plate 20 of the unit cabinet 2 are in contact (see FIG. 1B).
The counter 3 is placed so that the through groove 7 is formed between the wall surface side edge 30 and the wall surface 10, and the wall surface side edge 30 of the counter 3 is on the wall surface side so as to close the through groove 7. A cover member 5 is attached to the support member 4 in a cantilever manner over substantially the entire width of the edge portion 30. Then, the cover member 5 is slid to form a wiring hole 9 penetrating vertically between the wall surface 10 and the counter 3, and the equipment wiring of the electrical equipment (81, 82) placed on the counter 3. 8 can be arranged.

The box-type unit cabinets 2 having the same depth dimension are arranged in parallel, for example, in combination of three, and are installed on the floor surface 11. The unit cabinet 2 is formed of a box having a front opening, and includes a side plate 20, a back plate 21, a top plate 22, and a bottom plate 23. The front opening of the unit cabinet 2 is closed with a flap-type door or a front plate 25 such as a drawer. The unit cabinet 2 is provided with a shelf board 26 and the like, and serves as a storage space for storing AV equipment such as a DVD deck 80 and an amplifier (not shown) and small items.
The top plate 22 of the unit cabinet 2 is arranged so that a wiring space 27 communicating with a through groove 7 to be described later is formed behind the end portion on the wall surface side. The wiring space 27 is a wiring space for drawing in the equipment wiring 8 of the television 81 and the game machine 82 placed on the counter 3. The wiring space 27 also serves as a heat radiation space for AV equipment such as the DVD deck 80 housed in the unit cabinet 2.
The wiring space 27 may be formed over substantially the entire width of the end portion on the wall surface side of the top plate 22 or may be formed by partially cutting the end portion on the wall surface side of the top plate 22. .

The counter 3 is formed in accordance with substantially the entire width of the unit cabinets 2 arranged in parallel, and is a plate body made of a laminated material or a wood material made of solid wood or the like, and is placed on the top plate 22. On the counter 3, a television 81, a game machine 82, and the like can be placed.
The depth dimension of the counter 3 is set to a dimension in which a through groove 7 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B) penetrating vertically between the wall surface side edge 30 and the wall surface 10 of the counter 3 is formed. When placed on the top plate 22, a space serving as the through groove 7 is formed between the wall surface side edge portion 30 and the wall surface 10. Since the through-groove 7 is formed in substantially the full width of the counter 3, it also functions as an insertion hole for the equipment wiring 8 between the plurality of cabinet bodies 2 arranged side by side. That is, it is possible to dispose the device wiring 8 in the lateral direction.

The support member 4 is made of a metal material or a resin material, and is fixed over substantially the entire width of the wall surface side edge portion 30 of the counter 3.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the support member 4 is a flat plate-like fixing portion 41 fixed to the wall surface side edge portion 30 and is horizontally oriented from the upper end portion of the fixing portion 41 to the counter 3 side (on the opposite wall surface 10 side). And a cover 42 that is bent in the horizontal direction from the lower end of the fixed portion 41 and then bent again in the vertical and upward directions. And a receiving portion 43.
The fixing portion 41 has an insertion hole (through which a locking portion 44 protruding toward the wall surface 10 from a position slightly above the central portion and a screw 40 for fixing the support member 4 to the wall surface side edge portion 30 are inserted. (Not shown) is formed.
The locking portion 44 is formed in an inverted L-shaped cross section, and protrudes in the horizontal direction toward the wall surface 10 so that it can be locked in a state in which the fitting portion 50a of the cover member 5 described later is fitted, It is bent vertically and upward.
The support member 4 shown in FIG. 1A is formed in accordance with the thickness of the counter 3 and the length in the width direction, and is arranged so that the shoulder 42 covers the upper corner of the wall side edge 30. Then, it is fixed to the wall surface side edge 30 with the screw 40.

The cover member 5 includes a base portion 50 that is cantilevered by the support member 4, a cover main body 51 that extends toward the wall surface 10, and a distal end portion that is formed by bending downward toward the front side of the cover main body 51. 52 (free end).
The base 50 and the cover main body 51 are made of a hard metal material or a resin material so as to support the tip portion 52, and are formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section.
An upper end portion of the base portion 50 is formed with a fitting portion 50a which is bent toward the counter 3 so as to be locked by the locking portion 44 of the support member 4 and then bent downward again. The lower end portion of 50 is held by the cover receiving portion 43 of the support member 4.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the fitting portion 50a of the cover member 5 is hooked on the locking portion 44 in accordance with the shape of the locking portion 44 of the support member 4 formed in an inverted L-shaped cross section. It is formed to be cantilevered in a state. Therefore, in the fitted state of the fitting portion 50 a and the locking portion 44, the fitting portion 50 a is firmly formed between the wall surface side surface of the shoulder portion 42 of the support member 4 and the counter side surface of the locking portion 44. Only the cover member 5 is configured to be slidable to the left and right while being held.

According to the above, since the cover member 5 is cantilevered by the support member 4, the cover member 5 can be easily attached to the support member 4, and the cover member 5 can be easily attached along the support member 4. Can be slid.
Moreover, if the cover member 5 is slid according to the mounting place of the television 81 and the game machine 82 mounted on the cabinet 1, the wiring hole 9 can be provided in arbitrary positions.
That is, by sliding the cover member 5 along the support member 4, the wiring hole 9 can be formed in the vicinity of the television 81 or the game machine 82, so that the device wiring 8 can be arranged with good appearance. Therefore, the appearance of the cabinet 1 in a state where the television 81, the game machine 82, and the like are placed on the counter 3 can be improved.

The cover member 5 is preferably composed of a plurality of slide pieces 5a (see FIG. 2). The length of the cover member 5 in the longitudinal direction, that is, the length of the plurality of slide pieces 5a connected to each other is determined by the support member 4. Are formed shorter than the total length (that is, substantially the entire width of the counter 3). The slide pieces 5a divided into a plurality of dimensions may have the same fixed dimensions, or a combination of slide pieces 5a having different lengths.
As a result, an adjustment margin for sliding the slide piece 50a to the left and right is secured at both ends of the support member 4 having a length equivalent to substantially the entire width of the counter 3, and the slide piece 5a is moved along the support member 4. The gap between the slide piece 5a and the slide piece 5a can be made the wiring hole 9 by a simple operation of sliding.

  For example, when it is desired to form the wiring hole 9 behind the television 81, the slide piece 5a may be slid so that the wiring hole 9 is formed in the rear part close to the television 81 (see the arrow direction in FIG. 2). ). The size of the wiring hole 9 can be easily adjusted by moving the slide piece 5a left and right. Therefore, when the connector 8a of the equipment wiring 8 (see FIG. 1B) is pulled into the unit cabinet 2, the wiring hole 9 having a width dimension through which the connector 8a passes is formed, and after passing through the connector 8a, the equipment wiring 8 It is possible to move the slide piece 5a so that there is a gap enough to pass (see the enlarged view of FIG. 2).

Here, the formation width of the through groove 7 may be a dimension that allows the connector 8a of the device wiring 8 to pass therethrough. Any dimension that closes the through groove 7 may be used.
Moreover, since the counter 3 and the cover member 5 are comprised by another member, the cover member 5 which match | combined the material, color, etc. of the counter 3 can be attached, and the upper surface of the cabinet 1 should have a feeling of unity. it can. Although not shown here, a decorative sheet may be attached to the upper surface of the cover member 5 in order to bring out a sense of unity by matching the material and color of the counter 3.
According to the above, the cover member 5 becomes inconspicuous, and the design of the entire cabinet 1 is not impaired.

End caps 6 that cover the support member 4 and the cover member 5 are provided at both corners of the wall surface side edge portion 30 of the counter 3.
The end cap 6 is made of a resin material or the like, and is attached so as to cover the support member 4 and the cover member 5 as shown in the enlarged view of FIG.
The end cap 6 includes a side cover portion 60 that covers the support member 4 and the cover member 5 from the side, and an upper surface cover portion 61 that covers the upper surfaces of the support member 4 and the cover member 5.
The upper surface cover portion 61 is formed in a step shape corresponding to the step formed between the support member 4 and the cover member 5, and the front side disposed on the wall surface 10 side of the upper surface cover portion 61 is the tip portion of the cover member 5. Curved to match the shape of 52.

Thus, since the end cap 6 which covers the support member 4 and the cover member 5 is provided at both corners of the wall surface side edge portion 30 of the counter 3, an adjustment allowance for the cover member 5 can be formed. That is, as described above, the entire length of the cover member 5 (the length in which the plurality of slide pieces 5a are connected) is shorter than the entire length of the support member 4, and an excess gap (that is, adjustment margin) even if the wiring hole 9 is formed. Is covered by the end cap 6. Of course, even when the wiring hole 9 is not formed, the adjustment allowance is covered with the end cap 6, so that dust and the like can be prevented from entering from the adjustment allowance not used as the wiring hole 9.
Moreover, the corner | angular part of the counter 3 can be protected by providing the end cap 6. FIG.

Next, how to attach the cover member 5 etc. of the cabinet 1 will be described.
First, the support member 4 is fixed to the wall surface side edge 30 of the counter 3 with a screw 40. Then, the fitting portion 50 a of the cover member 5 (slide piece 5 a) is attached so as to fit into the locking portion 44 of the support member 4. If the end caps 6 are attached to both corners of the wall surface side edge 30 of the counter 3, the construction is completed.
After that, the cabinet 1 may be installed along the wall surface 10, and the wiring piece 9 may be formed at an arbitrary place by moving the slide piece 5a.

Here, the free end side of the cover member 5 that is cantilever-supported by the support member 5, that is, the front end portion 52 may be made of a soft resin material or the like. In this case, even if the front end portion 52 abuts against the wall surface 10, the curved surface of the front end portion 52 is soft, so that the wall surface 10 is not damaged.
The base 50 and the cover main body 51 are integrally formed of the same material, and the tip 52 is made of a different material. For example, when each of the tips 52 is made of a resin material, the base 50 and the cover main body 51 are simultaneously molded (so-called two-color molding). Can be formed.
According to this, since the joint part of the cover main body 51 and the front-end | tip part 52 is heat-melted and shape | molded, it mutually adheres firmly firmly, a number of parts reduces, and construction becomes easy. Further, the post-bonding step can be omitted, and the cost can be reduced. Of course, after only the tip 52 is separately molded, the tip 52 may be post-bonded to the front side of the cover body 51 with an adhesive.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the shapes of the support member 4 and the cover member 5. Portions common to the above example are denoted by common reference numerals, and description of the common portions is omitted.
The example shown in FIG. 4 is different from the above example in that the groove 45 in which the screw head 40 a of the screw 40 is accommodated is formed in the support member 4, and the cover member 5 according to the difference in the shape of the support member 4. The shape of the base 50 is different.
The support member 4 includes a flat plate-like fixing portion 41, a shoulder portion 42, and a cover receiving portion 43, and an insertion hole (not shown) through which the locking portion 44 and the screw 40 are inserted into the fixing portion 41. Is formed. The lower end portion of the fixing portion 41 is bent in the horizontal direction toward the wall surface 10 side, then vertically and downwardly bent, and then bent again in the horizontal direction so as to hold the lower end portion of the base portion 50 of the cover member 5. It has become. A concave groove 45 is formed by the bent portion from the fixing portion 41 to the cover receiving portion 43 and the bent portion of the locking portion 44, and the screw head 40 a is accommodated in the groove 45. The groove 45 is hidden by the base 50 of the cover member 5 when the cover member 5 is fitted and attached to the locking portion 44.
According to this, since the screw head 40a of the screw 40 for fixing the support member 4 is accommodated in the groove portion 45, the screw head 40a also becomes an obstacle when the slide piece 5a is slid left and right. The cover member 5 can be smoothly slid.

The shape, size, and configuration of the cabinet 1, the unit cabinet 2, the counter 3, the support member 4, and the cover member 5 are not limited to the illustrated examples.
For example, the number of unit cabinets 2 is not limited to three, and may be one, or may be applied to a unit composed of two or more. Further, the cabinet 1 is not limited to the installation type, and it is needless to say that the cabinet 1 may be of a hanging construction type. It can also be applied to cabinets where printers, lighting equipment, etc. are placed.
