Description

  The present invention relates to a metal cabinet integrally formed with both sides and a back surface by a stainless steel plate member bent in a U-shape, and a corner member attached to a corner of the cabinet.

  The kitchen is provided with a large storage space for storing cooking utensils, cooking materials, dishes and the like. For this reason, under the top plate (worktop in the system kitchen), a cabinet having a drawer and an open door is usually provided. In recent years, it has been attempted to improve usability by devising the size of a drawer and the shape of a partition on the assumption that the storage subject to be stored in the drawer or the like is to a certain extent.

  In order to meet a wide range of customer needs, various cabinets are available, such as wooden cabinets and metal cabinets made of stainless steel etc. Above all, metal cabinets have high quality and durability, It is popular in terms of environmentally friendly products and is becoming mainstream recently. For example, in Patent Document 1, the back plate and the left and right side plates are integrally formed by bending a single plate material, and the bottom plate is joined to the lower end as a back side plate, and the curtain plate is joined to the upper front of the left and right side plates. A cabinet is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-50980

  However, the cabinet made of metal is not limited to the cabinet of Patent Document 1, but as described above, the wood cabinet is made of wood in terms of luxury and durability, and metal materials (stainless steel etc.) having excellent recyclability and being environmentally friendly. Although it is superior to the storage case of the above, the cost performance and the number of parts affecting the resource consumption amount are smaller than that of the wooden storage case in that it tends to be more than the wooden storage case. In addition, as other issues, weight saving is required in order to save resources and to reduce the labor required for carrying work and setting work for environmental consideration. Therefore, further improvements have been desired for conventional metal cabinets.

  In order to achieve cost reduction, resource saving and weight reduction, it is effective to reduce the thickness of the metal plate constituting the metal storage case. However, if the metal plate is simply thinned, the rigidity of the metal plate is reduced, and the strength may be insufficient. When the cabinet is formed of stainless steel, it is important to maintain the right angle of the corner since the rigidity can be maintained by maintaining the box-like shape. For this reason, reinforcing members are conventionally attached to maintain the right angle between both sides and the back of the cabinet.

  However, conventionally, in order to attach a plurality of reinforcing members, both side surfaces and the back surface are screwed to the reinforcing members. In such a screwing operation, the time and labor of the operation is increased, the efficiency of the operation is lowered, and furthermore, the consumption of screws as a resource and the use of an automatic driver for the screw fastening operation lead to the consumption of energy.

  In view of such a subject, the present invention secures the intensity of a metal plate sufficiently, attaining weight saving and resource saving, without causing a fall of work efficiency by making attachment work of a reinforcement member easy. Cabinet and its corner members.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned subject, a typical composition of a cabinet concerning the present invention is formed by both sides and a back in one by a plate member made of stainless steel bent in a U-shape, and a corner member in a corner. Is a metal cabinet to which is attached, and the upper and lower ends of both sides and the back of the cabinet are formed with flanges that are double-divided at a right angle with a predetermined length to make the both sides and the back rigid. Further, a fold is formed as an end processing of the flange, and the corner member is formed in an L shape which is bent at a right angle as a whole, and the thickness of the corner member is in the inside of the two-folded flange. It is characterized in that it has an insertable thickness, and the outer surface of the corner member is formed with a convex portion which is engaged with a fold which is an end processing of the flange.

  In the above configuration, the corner member, which is a reinforcing member, is a member that particularly reinforces the corner portion of the metal cabinet. When the corner member is attached to the corner of the cabinet, the corner member is inserted into a flange formed at the upper end or the lower end of the cabinet. Then, in the inside of the flange, the convex portion of the corner member is locked to the folded back of the flange. Thereby, the corner member is attached to the metal cabinet. Therefore, since the corner members (reinforcement members) can be easily attached, the strength of the metal plate can be increased without causing a decrease in work efficiency.

  In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a corner member of a cabinet according to the present invention is a corner member attached to a corner of a metal cabinet, and is provided on upper and lower ends of both sides and the back of the cabinet. The flanges are formed by making two right angles at a predetermined length so as to give rigidity to both side surfaces and the back surface, and further, folding is formed as an end processing of the flanges, and the corner members are entirely The corner member has a thickness that can be inserted into the inside of the flange that has been doubled, and the outer surface of the corner member is engaged with the fold that is the end processing of the flange. A convex portion for stopping is formed.

  The components corresponding to the technical idea of the cabinet described above and the description thereof can be applied to the corner members of the cabinet.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily secure the strength of the metal plate while achieving weight reduction without causing increase in resource consumption and decrease in work efficiency by facilitating the mounting operation of the reinforcing member. And its corner members can be provided.

In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, in the present embodiment, a drawer or the like accommodated inside the cabinet 100 is not shown. Further, in the present embodiment, while the cabinet 100 is described in detail, the corner member 150 attached thereto is also described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the cabinet 100 according to the present embodiment, the right and left side surfaces 110a and 110b, which are both side surfaces, and the back surface 110c are folded by bending the plate member 110 made of stainless steel into a U shape. It is integrally formed. As described above, by making the cabinet 100 made of stainless steel (made of metal), a sense of luxury and durability can be obtained. Further, by forming the both side surfaces (right side surface 110a and left side surface 110b) and the back surface 110c as a single plate, it is possible to reduce the number of members and hence the number of assembling steps thereof.

  A stainless steel front plate, which is a separate member from the side surfaces and the back surface 110 c, is attached as a front surface 112 to the upper part of the front edge of each side surface of the cabinet 100. A bottom plate made of stainless steel is attached as a bottom surface 114 to both side surfaces and the lower edge of the back surface 110c. Thereby, the cabinet 100 will be in the state shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  In the present embodiment, although the plate member made of stainless steel is used for the front surface 112 and the bottom surface 114, the present invention is not limited to this. However, according to such a configuration, since a sense of unity of materials is obtained, it is possible to obtain an advantage that high designability can be obtained, or separation work at the time of discarding the cabinet 100 can be facilitated.

  3 is a detailed view of FIG. 2, FIG. 3 (a) is an enlarged view in a square of FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3 (a). In the present embodiment, since the cabinet 100 has a symmetrical shape, FIG. 3 exemplifies a corner between the right side surface 110 a and the back surface 110 c.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the flanges 116a are formed by diffracting the plate member 110 twice at a predetermined length at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the cabinet 100 (the right side 110a is illustrated in FIG. 2) and the back 110c. 116b, 118a, 118b are formed. Thereby, the rigidity of both side surfaces and the back surface 110c can be improved. Although not shown in FIG. 2, similar flanges are formed on the upper end and the lower end of the left side surface 110 b.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), a folded back 120 is formed on the inside of the flange 116a as the end processing. The folded back 120 is similarly formed on the insides of the flanges 116a, 116b, 118a and 118b shown in FIG. 2 and the flange of the left side surface 110b (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, a corner member 150 is attached to the corner of the cabinet 100 of this embodiment (exemplified by the corner of the right side surface 110a and the rear surface 110c in FIG. 3). This reinforces the corners of the cabinet 100 in particular.

  FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the corner member 150 of the cabinet 100 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the corner member 150 has an L-shape which is bent at a right angle as a whole. Of the corner member 150, the insertion portion 152 inserted into the inside of the flanges 116a and 118a has a thickness that can be inserted into the inside of the flanges 116a and 118a. Further, as a feature of the present embodiment, a hook-shaped convex portion 154 is formed on the outer surface of the corner member 150, specifically, the outer surface of the insertion portion 152 inserted into the inside of the flanges 116a and 118a.

  When the insertion portion 152 of the corner member 150 shown in FIG. 4 is inserted into the inside of the flange 116a, the state shown in FIG. 3A is obtained. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the inside of the flange 116a, the convex portion 154 is engaged with the fold back 120 which is the end processing, and the corner member 150 is attached to the metal cabinet 100.

  As described above, according to the cabinet 100 of the present embodiment, the corner member 150 can be easily attached to the cabinet 100 simply by inserting the insertion portion 152 of the corner member 150 into the inside of the flange 116 a. For this reason, the strength of the metal plate (plate-like member 110) can be enhanced without causing a decrease in work efficiency. Therefore, it is possible to secure sufficient strength while reducing the weight of the metal cabinet 100.

  FIG. 5 is a view for explaining a modification of the cabinet and the corner member. In the corner member 150 of FIG. 3B, the convex portion 154 has a claw shape, whereas in the corner member 150a of FIG. 5A, the convex portion 154a has a rib shape. Even with such a shape, it is possible to obtain the same effect as described above.

  In FIG. 3 (b), the fold 120 is folded to a position substantially parallel to the flange 116a, whereas in FIG. 5 (b), the fold 120a is shallowly folded and has an angle with respect to the flange 116a. Further, in the corner member 150b shown in FIG. 5B, the convex portion 154b does not protrude to the vicinity of the flange 116a, and the groove portion 156 is formed by retracting the insertion portion 152. Even with such a shape, the same effect as described above can be obtained by the folding back 120 a being locked to the groove portion 156.
