Description

The present invention relates to a locker for storing articles inside, and more specifically, to a locker for disaster prevention for storing articles necessary for evacuation life and rescue activities in the event of a disaster.

Japan has been hit by many natural disasters since ancient times, but the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 has made people more aware of the importance of disaster prevention. Since it is important to be fully prepared in advance for disaster prevention, the installation of disaster prevention lockers is currently being promoted by various organizations such as the government.

A disaster prevention locker is a locker for storing and storing items necessary for evacuation life and rescue activities in the event of a disaster. In addition to water and food, blankets, flashlights, emergency equipment, etc. are mainly stored, and fire-resistant clothing and air respirators for fire may be stored.

Due to its nature, disaster prevention lockers must be able to easily locate them even at night or in the dark due to power outages. Therefore, in the conventional disaster prevention locker, a sticker using a fluorescent material and a reflective material is attached to a general locker (Patent Document 1).

Registered Utility Model No. 3037400

However, the above-mentioned disaster prevention locker is not preferable from the aesthetic point of view because a sticker using a fluorescent material and a reflective material is attached to the surface of the locker. In addition, it cannot be denied that the sticker may come off due to an unexpected cause in the event of a disaster, and its function was not guaranteed.

Those with a phosphorescent sticker attached to the front panel of the disaster prevention locker not only spoiled the aesthetic appearance, but also easily deteriorated over time and were easily torn or peeled off. In particular, plastic lockers do not rust like metal lockers, so they are sometimes used in places where they are easily exposed to water, such as pool facilities, but stickers and stickers are even easier to peel off when they get wet. It was also a cause of deterioration of phosphorescent performance.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a locker for disaster prevention that can reliably and easily grasp the position even in the dark without spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

The rocker according to the present invention is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped rocker including a bottom panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, a back panel, a top panel, and a front panel.
One of the top, bottom, left, and right pieces of the front panel is rotatably connected to any one of the top panel, bottom panel, left side panel, and right side panel, and the connecting portion can be opened and closed as a rotation axis.
The front panel has a handle portion located on the opposite side of the rotation shaft, and a first auxiliary panel and a second auxiliary panel arranged so as to sandwich the handle portion in the rotation axis direction.
At least one of the first auxiliary panel and the second auxiliary panel is made of a member containing a phosphorescent material.

According to such a configuration, the panel containing the phosphorescent material emits light at night or in the dark at the time of a disaster, and the position of the locker can be easily grasped.

Further, in the above configuration, both the first auxiliary panel and the second auxiliary panel may be made of a member containing a phosphorescent material.

According to such a configuration, since the panels provided above and below the handle part emit light at night or in the dark at the time of a disaster, it is easy not only to grasp the position of the locker but also to grasp the position of the handle part in the dark. Usability is improved.

Further, in the above configuration, the panel made of the member containing the phosphorescent material is either a white resin kneaded with the phosphorescent material, or a transparent resin with the phosphorescent material kneaded into the back surface. It may be colored white.

With such a configuration, the light emission (emission intensity) in the dark becomes better, and the position of the rocker in the dark becomes easier to grasp.

Further, in the above configuration, the panel made of the member including the phosphorescent material may have a plurality of through holes.

According to such a configuration, the amount of the phosphorescent material used can be reduced by the amount of the through hole formed, and the rocker can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, the air permeability inside the locker is ensured, and clothes and the like can be stored for a long period of time. Further, the design property at the time of light emission can be improved.

As described above, according to the disaster prevention locker according to the present invention, since the auxiliary panel is made of a member containing a phosphorescent material and emits light at night or in the dark at the time of a disaster, it is reliable and easy even in the dark without spoiling the aesthetic appearance. It is possible to grasp the position of the locker.

(First Embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the disaster prevention locker 1 according to the present embodiment includes a bottom panel 10, a left side panel 20, a right side panel 30, a back panel 40, and a top panel. 50 and a front panel 60 are provided. Each panel is substantially rectangular, and these are connected and fixed to form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped disaster prevention locker 1.

Here, the term "substantially rectangular" means that, in addition to a perfect rectangle, a rectangular parallelepiped that has been modified as long as the function of the rocker can be exerted, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped having a curved portion, etc., is included. The same applies to "abbreviated rectangular parallelepiped".

Each side of the back panel 40 is connected and fixed to one side of the bottom panel 10, the left side panel 20, the right side panel 30, and the top panel 50, and further, the bottom panel 10 and the left side panel 20, The left side panel 20 and the top panel 50, the top panel 50 and the right side panel 30, and the right side panel 30 and the bottom panel 10 are connected and fixed at the side where they come into contact with each other.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front panel 60 has a main panel 61, a handle portion 62, a first auxiliary panel 63, and a second auxiliary panel 64.

In the front panel 60, any one of the top, bottom, left, and right pieces is rotatably connected to any one of the top panel 50, the bottom panel 10, the left side panel 20, and the right side panel 30, and this connecting portion is used as a rotation shaft 70. It is installed so that it can be opened and closed. The handle portion 62 is arranged in the vicinity of the side of the front panel 60 opposite to the rotation shaft 70, and the user grips this portion to open and close the front panel 60. The first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 are arranged so as to sandwich the handle portion 62 in a direction parallel to the rotation shaft 70. In the present embodiment, the handle portion 62 is arranged on the left side of the front panel 60, and the right piece of the front panel 60 serves as the rotation shaft 70.

A frame corresponding to the handle portion 62, the first auxiliary panel 63, and the second auxiliary panel 64 is formed on the main panel 61, and the handle portion 62 and the first auxiliary panel 64 are formed in this frame. The panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 may be assembled. By doing so, the locker 1 can be easily assembled.

As the material of each panel, a metal such as steel, aluminum, or copper can be used, but it is preferable to use a synthetic resin such as ABS resin or PH resin. By doing so, it is lightweight, has excellent durability, and is easy to dispose of.

Further, since the locker 1 made of such a resin plastic does not rust, it is also suitable for use near a pool facility, a factory that handles water, a school, a public bath, or other water place.

The first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 in the present embodiment are made of a member including a phosphorescent material. As a result, this portion emits light at night or in the dark at the time of a disaster, and the position of the locker 1 can be easily grasped even in the dark.

FIG. 5 is a photograph of the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 and the phosphorescent sticker 80 in the present embodiment taken in the dark. It can be seen that the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 provide light emission at a level that makes it easy to grasp the position of the rocker 1 even in the dark.

Further, since the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 are arranged so as to sandwich the handle portion 62, the position of the handle portion 62 can be easily grasped even at night or in the dark at the time of a disaster, and in the dark. Convenience is improved.

The first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64, which are made of a member containing a phosphorescent material, are preferably made by kneading the phosphorescent material into a white resin. Since the phosphorescent material has the strongest light emission intensity when the base is white, it becomes easier to grasp the positions of the rocker 1 and the handle portion 62 in the dark, and even a small amount of the phosphorescent material emits sufficient light. Therefore, the amount of phosphorescent material used can be reduced.

Further, instead of using white resin for the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64, it is also possible to use a transparent resin kneaded with a phosphorescent material and the back surface is colored white. Even in this way, the same emission intensity as when the white resin is used can be obtained, and the same effect can be obtained in grasping the positions of the rocker 1 and the handle portion 62. In this case, the back surface of the transparent resin can be made white by coloring the back surface with a paint or the like, or by adhering a thin plate of a white resin to the back surface of the transparent resin.

The disaster prevention locker 1 provided with the phosphorescent unit according to the present embodiment does not require an external power source for light emission, unlike the conventional disaster prevention locker provided with a fluorescent lamp or the like. In addition, since the light emitted by the phosphorescent material is a gentle faint light called phosphorescence, it is unlikely to interfere with sleep or the like. Therefore, the disaster prevention locker 1 according to the present embodiment can have a wider installable range than the conventional disaster prevention locker, and is easier to use for the installer and the user.

Further, the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 according to the present embodiment have a plurality of through holes 65. By forming the through holes 65 in the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64 including the phosphorescent material, the amount of the phosphorescent material used can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, the air permeability inside the locker 1 is ensured, and clothes and the like can be stored for a long period of time. Further, the plurality of through holes 65 are arranged, which also contributes to the design of the rocker 1, and can particularly improve the design at the time of light emission. Further, by changing the formation pattern of the through hole 65 depending on the contents stored inside the locker 1, the contents can be specified without opening the front panel 60.

As for the air permeability inside the rocker 1, through holes may be provided in panels other than the first auxiliary panel 63 and the second auxiliary panel 64, if necessary.

If necessary, characters and symbols, such as a user's name, "lifesaving equipment, disaster relief equipment", and an arrow (→) indicating an evacuation route may be displayed on the auxiliary panel. Further, a Braille or uneven pattern may be formed on the surface of the auxiliary panel.

As described above, according to the disaster prevention locker 1 according to the present embodiment, since the panel containing the phosphorescent material emits light in the dark, the position of the locker can be easily grasped even in the dark. Further, unlike the conventional product to which the phosphorescent tape or the like is attached, the panel itself in which the phosphorescent material is kneaded emits light, so that the appearance of the locker is not spoiled. In addition, unlike conventional products, there is no risk of the phosphorescent tape coming off, so it is possible to reliably grasp the position of the locker even in the event of a disaster. Further, since the phosphorescent material absorbs sunlight or the light of a fluorescent lamp and emits light when the surroundings become dark, no external power source or the like is required for the light emission, and no running cost is required. Further, unlike the light of a fluorescent lamp or the like, the light emitted by the phosphorescent material is gentle and faint phosphorescence, so that it is less likely to interfere with sleep or the like and can be installed in various places. Further, since the first auxiliary panel serving as the light emitting portion and the second auxiliary panel can be manufactured by using the existing mold, a new mold is used when manufacturing the disaster prevention locker 1 according to the present embodiment. It does not need to be woken up and can be manufactured at low cost.

Although the above description has been made on the premise that the locker 1 according to the present embodiment is used for disaster prevention, the use of the locker according to the present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, and is generally limited to schools, sports facilities, and the like. It can be used where lockers can be installed. It can also be used as a locker having a design in the dark, for example.

Further, since the above description of the embodiment according to the present invention is given for the purpose of exemplifying the present invention, it does not limit the technical scope of the present invention and does not deviate from the technical idea of the present invention. It is possible to make appropriate changes, etc. by those skilled in the art within the range.
