End panels 2 and 2 are attached to the cabinet body 1 so as to cover both the left and right sides. Since the end panels 2 and 2 attached to the left and right sides of the cabinet body 1 have the same configuration, the configuration and attachment thereof will be described below by taking the end panel 2 attached to the left side of the cabinet body 1 as an example.

The end panel 2 is, for example, a rectangular flat plate made of metal. The vertical dimension of the end panel 2 is substantially the same as that of the side plates 111 and 115, and the dimension in the front-rear direction is slightly larger than the sum of the dimensions of the side plates 111 and 115.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the end panel 2. As shown in FIG. 4, 27 stud bolts 21, 21, ..., 21 which are fastening members are erected on one surface of the end panel 2. Hereinafter, the direction parallel to each of the adjacent sides on one surface of the end panel 2 is defined as the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to one surface is defined as the Z-axis direction.

Each stud bolt 21 has a columnar shape and protrudes from one surface of the end panel 2 in the Z direction. Each stud bolt 21 has the same shape and dimensions, and the dimension in the Z direction is larger than the plate thickness of each of the side plates 111 and 115. Each stud bolt 21 is fixed to one surface of the end panel 2 so that the axis is perpendicular to one surface by welding, for example. A screw groove (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of each stud bolt 21. The end panel 2 configured in this way has increased mechanical strength and is less likely to be deformed or warped due to changes in temperature and humidity.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of arrangement of stud bolts on one surface of the end panel 2. The stud bolts 21, 21, 1, ..., 21 are arranged in nine rows as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. The nine columns are divided into five odd columns having equal intervals x1 in the X direction and four even columns having equal intervals x2 in the X direction. Here, the interval x1 of each odd-numbered column and the interval x2 of each even-numbered column are different.

Further, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 5, the five odd-numbered columns of stud bolts 21 are arranged in three rows having an equal interval y1 in the Y direction, and the four even-numbered columns of stud bolts 21 are evenly spaced in the Y direction. It is arranged in 3 rows with y2. Here, the row spacing y1 consisting of the odd-numbered column stud bolts 21 and the row spacing y2 consisting of the even-numbered column stud bolts 21 are different.

The rows of odd-numbered columns of stud bolts 21 and the rows of even-numbered columns of stud bolts 21 are alternately arranged in the Y direction. Since one surface of the end panel 2 has a rectangular shape, it has a shape symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry A along the Y direction. Of the five odd rows, the stud bolts 21 in the middle row are arranged on the axis of symmetry A. The stud bolts 21 in the two even rows adjacent to each other on both sides of the row have the same distance from the axis of symmetry A.

In other words, each stud bolt 21 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of symmetry A on one surface of the end panel 2. In this way, one end panel 2 is attached to either the left or right side of the cabinet body 1. For example, when the right side (left side) is easily visible and the right side (left side) end panel 2 is deformed or warped, the end panel 2 can be replaced with the left side (right side) end panel 2 which is difficult to see. it can. By changing the arrangement location of the end panel 2 in this way, the deformed / warped portion is arranged in a location that is difficult to see.

FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the fastening of the end panel 2 and the cabinet body 1. FIG. 6 shows a cross section of the left side plate 111 and the end panel 2 with planes parallel to the left and right directions as cut surfaces. The left side plates 111 and 115 are provided with 27 through holes 23, 23, ... 23 through which the stud bolts 21 can be inserted at positions corresponding to the stud bolts 21. The diameter of each through hole 23 is slightly larger than the diameter of the stud bolt 21. In this way, when the stud bolt 21 is inserted through the through hole 23, a play is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 23 and the outer peripheral surface of the stud bolt 21.

When the end panel 2 is attached to the left side surface of the cabinet body 1, the upper edge of the end panel 2 is made flush with the upper edge of the left side plates 111 and 115, and each stud bolt 21 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 23. .. When one surface of the end panel 2 is in contact with the left side plates 111 and 115, the end panel 2 covers the left side surface of the cabinet body, and the tip of each stud bolt 21 protrudes from the right side surface of the left side plates 111 and 115. There is. The end panel 2 is attached to the left side surface of the cabinet body 1 by screwing the nut 22 into the protruding tip of each stud bolt 21.

When the side plates 111 and 115 are made of wood, for example, the coefficient of thermal expansion is different from that of the metal end panel 2, so that the amount of expansion and contraction may differ between the two due to changes in temperature and humidity. In the cabinet attached as described above, since play is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 23 and the outer peripheral surface of the stud bolt 21, the amount of expansion and contraction differs between the side plates 111 and 115 and the end panel 2. However, the difference is absorbed by the play between the through hole 23 and the stud bolt 21. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the end panel 2 from being deformed or warped.

In the above embodiment, the case where a large number of stud bolts 21 are arranged line-symmetrically has been described, but the arrangement of a large number of stud bolts 21 is not limited to line symmetry and may be point-symmetrical. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of arrangement of the stud bolt 21 on one surface of the end panel 2. One surface of the end panel 2 has a rectangular shape, that is, a shape that is point-symmetrical with respect to the center of the rectangle (hereinafter, referred to as a symmetry point B). On one surface of the end panel 2, a large number of stud bolts 21 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a rectangular point of symmetry B. In this way, the end panel 2 can be rotated 180 degrees and installed. For example, when the upper left portion of the end panel 2 that is easily visible is deformed or warped, the end panel 2 can be rotated 180 degrees and installed in the lower right portion that is difficult to see. By changing the angle of the end panel 2 in this way, the deformed / warped portion is arranged in a place where it is difficult to see.

Further, the large number of stud bolts 21 are not limited to the arrangement that is symmetric with respect to the axis of symmetry A along the Y direction, and may be arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to the axis of symmetry along the X direction. Many stud bolts 21 may have the same spacing in each column or row. Many stud bolts 21 may be asymmetrically arranged.

In the above embodiment, the case where the number of stud bolts 21 is 27 has been described, but the number of stud bolts 21 is not limited to 27 and may be arbitrarily set as needed. Further, a large number of stud bolts 21 and the end panel 2 may be integrally molded.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stud bolt 21 has been described as the fastening member, but the fastening member is not limited to the stud bolt, and may be a member having a columnar shape and protruding from one surface of the end panel 2. For example, it may be a hollow columnar member having a female screw formed on the inner peripheral surface. In this case, the length of such a columnar member is set to be substantially the same as the plate thickness of the left and right side plates or shorter than the plate thickness of the left and right side plates, and instead of the nut 22, a bolt having a male screw formed on the outer peripheral surface is columnar. By screwing into the member, the end panel 2 can be attached to the side surface of the cabinet body 1.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the end panel 2 is applied to the cabinet has been described, but the end panel 2 is also applied to the shelf or the drawer.

The embodiments disclosed this time should be considered as exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is not intended to include the meaning described above, but is intended to include the meaning equivalent to the scope of claims and all modifications within the scope of claims.
Further, as long as the effect of the present invention is effective, the end panel 2 or the cabinet may contain components not disclosed in the embodiment.
