Description

The present invention relates to a drawer-type storage body that can be advanced and retracted using a kick-in space of a bathroom vanity, a kitchen cabinet, furniture, and the like, and particularly relates to a storage body that can store a thin object such as a weight scale as storage. It is an invention.

There has been proposed a stepping board using a storage body that can be pulled out in a conventional cabinet kick-in space and a lid, which is used as a footboard. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In this proposal, the storage body enters and stores into the kick-in space in a state of being integrated with the lid. That is, even when it is used as a step, there is a problem that the height of the kick-in space cannot be exceeded, and a sufficient elevation effect cannot be obtained as a step.

In another proposal, when a storage object having a seating surface stored in the kicking-in space is withdrawn from the kicking-up space and goes out of the stored state, the seating surface is provided by a link mechanism provided under the seating surface. There is also a proposal that the head is raised upward and fixed above the seat surface height position in the retracted state. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

In this case, a sufficient elevation effect can be obtained even when used as a stepping platform, but a mechanism part such as a link mechanism is required, and a space for accommodating the mechanism part is required inside the storage body. There was a problem that the storage capacity would decrease.
In particular, since it has become impossible to store a weight scale that has been stored conventionally, there has been a problem that usability is reduced.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a storage body and a vanity in which the storage body is stored in the first embodiment of the present invention.
A kicker curtain 10 is provided at the front part of the lower part of the storage unit of the vanity 1 and a kicker opening 11 is provided so that the storage body 30 can be stored inside the kicker. Is formed.
When the storage body 30 is stored in the bathroom vanity, the storage body front plate 32 of the storage body 30 is flush with the kick-in curtain plate 10. By pulling the handle 33 provided at the upper center of the storage body front plate 32, the storage body 30 can be retracted from the kick-in portion and can be used. At this time, the storage body 30 can be smoothly moved by a caster provided on the back of the storage body 30 described later. A flat object having no height dimension is suitable as an object to be stored in the container, and the vanity used in the figure is convenient for storing a health measuring device such as a scale.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the storage body 30 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The storage body 30 includes a storage body front plate 32 that closes the kick-in opening 11 when the storage body 30 is stored inside the kick-in portion, and a storage-body back plate 34 that faces the storage body bottom plate 35 across the storage body bottom plate 35. The two storage body side plates 36 on both sides are configured. The upper side of each storage body side plate 36 is bent at a right angle toward the outside to form a side plate horizontal surface 36a, and the rear surface of the side plate horizontal surface 36a is moved smoothly to the storage body in two places, left and right. The caster 37 is provided.

The caster 37 is preferably attached in the following manner, which improves convenience when the weight scale is stored.
The caster 37 is axially supported so that a base member fixed to the back of the side plate horizontal surface 36a and a member that supports a wheel shaft for rotating a wheel of the caster rotate in the vertical direction. The member that supports the wheel shaft is urged downward by the urging means, and is set so that the ground contact surface of the wheel slightly protrudes downward from the housing bottom plate 35. A thin cushion sheet 35 a that does not contact the floor when no load is applied is attached to the back side of the storage body bottom plate 35.

According to the mounting method of the caster 37, when the weight scale is stored as the stored item, the cushion sheet 35a attached to the storage body bottom plate 35 is attached to the floor surface by the urging force applied to the caster 37 only by the weight of the weight scale. The separated state is maintained, and the storage body 30 can move smoothly. When the user puts on the scale while stored in the storage body 30, the urging force applied to the caster 37 cannot resist the load, and the cushion sheet 35a affixed to the floor and the storage body bottom plate 35 hits the floor surface. In contact with each other, the movement by the caster 37 is restricted and becomes stable. That is, the weight can be stably measured without taking out the weight scale from the storage body 30 one by one, and it is not necessary to return the weight scale to the storage body after use.
In FIG. 5 (a), the storage body 30 is provided with a lid 50 and stored in the kicking-in space of the vanity 1. At this time, the setting position of the lid 50 to the storage body 30 is equal to or less than the height of the storage space. Thereby, it can be stored in the kicking-in space of the vanity 1 without any interference.
In FIG. 4, the footboard 51 constituting the lid 50 is held by the footboard support frames 52 on both sides.
A rear leg portion 52c is formed on the rear side of the left and right footboard support frame 52, and an engagement pin 53b (see FIG. 5) is provided below the rear leg portion 52c. On the other hand, a lid pin engaging member 40 having a groove 40a into which the engaging pin 53b is inserted is also provided behind the storage body side plate 36 of the storage body 30. Each end of the groove 40a faces downward, and one end is formed with an upper bearing portion 41b at an upper front position, and the other end is formed with a lower bearing portion 41a at a lower rear portion. In addition to having a structure, the engaging pin 53b is formed such that two ends can be moved by the groove 40a.

In FIG. 4, since the engaging pin 53b is accommodated in the lower bearing portion 41a on the lower side of the groove 40a, when the housing body 30 is closed by the lid body 50 by rotating there, the front leg portion 52b of the lid body 50 is closed. The front body 32 of the storage body 30 is squeezed rearward and a part of the side plate is bent in front of the side plate so as to contact the front leg receiving portion 39 so that the lid body 50 is kept horizontal and can be stored in the cabinet.

A case where the lid 50 is used as a step is described with reference to FIG.
The engaging pin 53b provided on the rear leg portion 52c of the lid 50 moves in the groove 40a and is accommodated in the upper bearing portion 41b at the higher position, which is the other end, and the lid 50 rotates around this axis. It comes to move. The upper bearing portion 41b of the groove 40a is formed so as to be slightly displaced forward in the front-rear direction as well as the height position. Therefore, the arcuate orbit due to the rotation of the front side opposite to the rotation axis of the lid 50 at the upper bearing portion 41b is shifted to the front plate 32 side of the storage body 30, and the lid as shown in FIG. The bottom surface of the front leg portion 52b of the 50 comes into contact with the upper end portion of the front plate 32, and at this time, the tread plate 51 is formed to be kept horizontal.

In the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the front leg portion 52b of the lid body 50 abuts on the upper end portion of the front plate 32, and the housing body and the horizontal fixing are maintained by the weight of the lid body, but the front plate 32 and the front leg portion 52b are maintained. The members may be provided so as to be engaged and connected to each other, and may be formed so that the lid body is engaged at a position where the lid body rotates and becomes horizontal. When the engaging pin 53b is housed in the lower bearing portion 41a of the groove 40a, this engaging means is such that the rotation trajectory of the front leg portion 52b of the lid 50 is shifted backward, and the lid body is moved to the front leg receiving portion 39. It is lowered to a low position where it can be rotated to the retracted storage position and can be advanced and retracted to the kick-in portion.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 2A shows a set state in which the storage body 30 is provided with a lid 50 and can be stored in the kicking space of the vanity 1. The position where the lid 50 is set on the storage body 30 is not higher than the height of the storage body front plate 32. Thereby, it can be stored in the kicking-in space of the vanity 1 without any interference. Moreover, FIG.2 (b) is a perspective view of the state set out as a stepping board withdrawing from the vanity. The lid 50 is fixed at a position higher than the position at the time of storage to increase the leveling effect as a step.

The attachment / detachment and operation method of the lid 50 and the storage body 30 will be described with reference to FIG.
Engagement pins 53 are formed outwardly of the leg portions 52a of the footboard support frame 52 formed at the four corners of the lid 50. On the other hand, at the four corners of the storage body 30, a plurality of height grooves 38 a are formed so that the rear ends are opened so that the engagement pins 53 engage with the engagement pins 53, respectively, and the tips are directed downward. The detachable lid pin engaging member 38 is provided at four corners of the storage body side plate 36. The grooves 38a of the detachable lid pin engaging member 38 provided at the four corners are formed in the same shape and height position.

When the lid 50 is stored in a low position, the four engaging pins 53 enter from the lower rear opening of each groove 38a and move to the tip in the groove 38a, but the tip of the groove 38a faces downward. The lid 50 is placed at the tip of the groove 38a by its own weight. By this operation, it can be stored in the kick-in portion shown in FIG.

When removing the lid 50, the engaging pin 53 may be lifted upward and moved toward the opening of the groove 38a in order to float from the tip of the groove 38a.

In order to use it as a stepping platform, the lid body 50 removed by the above method is simultaneously set at four places in another upper groove 38 a formed in the lid housing body pin engaging member 38. By this operation, the lid body 50 is set at a higher position with respect to the storage body 30, and the state shown in FIG.

When the storage body 30 is stored and used, the weight measurement is performed with the lid 50 removed, and when the storage body 30 is used as a step, the set position of the lid 50 on the storage body 30 is left as it is. It is realized by raising the value.
