Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention has excellent appearance and structural stability of the stile joints, and is easy to assemble, and can be used for storage of kitchen utensils, furniture, cabinets, etc. This relates to decorative doors.

(Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention) A door frame is created by joining the upper and lower horizontal stiles and the vertical stiles on both sides into a rectangular shape between the upper and lower ends of the vertical stiles, sandwiching the upper and lower horizontal stiles. Conventionally, in the case of a door formed by forming a stile and having a plate attached to the opening thereof, the upper and lower end surfaces of the vertical stile have been finished to the extent that the end surfaces are smooth.
Special cosmetic treatment of the end faces was not normally performed.

However, when a door with such a configuration is used, for example, as a door for a kitchen appliance, there is a problem that the end faces of these vertical frames become visible surfaces when the door is opened and closed, making the door look unsightly. .

For this reason, in some cases, this end face has been colored or covered with a separate decorative covering piece, but these methods are still unsatisfactory in terms of cosmetic processing, such as the lack of integrity in appearance. It was not something I would go to.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-81990 discloses a method that attempts to solve some of these problems.
There is a decorative structure at the door stile joint. As shown in FIG. 8, this decorative structure uses a horizontal stile (see FIG. 9) c, which is formed by providing box-shaped decorative protrusions b with downward openings at both ends of a horizontal stile portion a, covering the end faces of the vertical stile, The box-shaped decorative protrusions b at both ends of the horizontal stile are configured to cover the end faces e of the vertical stile d, and the decorative protrusions b and the vertical stile d are integrated using screws f. was.

However, such a structure has the following problems.

This structure is such that when the lower end of the thin wall piece g constituting the box-shaped decorative protrusion b is in contact with the upper peripheral edge h of the vertical stile d, the decorative protrusion b is attached to the end surface e of the vertical stile d.
(state shown by the solid line in FIG. 10).

However, considering that the horizontal stile c is usually made of synthetic resin,
When the box-shaped decorative protrusion b is fixed to the vertical stile d using screws in the corresponding state, the wall piece g of the box-shaped decorative protrusion b tends to open outward, as shown by the dashed line in Fig. 10. Cheap.

As a result, the lower end of the wall piece g comes off the end surface e of the stile d, and as shown in FIG.
It is fully expected that the upper end part i will fit into the recess j of the box-shaped decorative protrusion b, and the joint between the frames is likely to have an inferior appearance and will be structurally very unstable. There was also the problem of difficulty in assembling the door.

Furthermore, if such a decorative structure is applied to the door of a low-height storage cabinet such as a kitchen utensil, the head k of the screw f that fixes the box-shaped decorative protrusion b to the vertical stile d will be the 8th head k. As shown in the figure, the door was exposed to the visible surface, which resulted in the inconvenience of spoiling the appearance of the door.

There is no particular description of the manufacturing method of the horizontal stile c used in such a decorative structure in the specification of JP-A-55-81990, but the box-shaped decorative protrusion b
Since it is covered on three sides by wall piece g, if it is made of synthetic resin, it can be assumed that the entire stile c is made in one piece by injection molding. is reasonable.

If so, it would be necessary to individually design and manufacture horizontal frames of various lengths depending on the width of the door, leading to an increase in the manufacturing cost of the decorative door.

The present invention aims to provide a decorative door that can solve these problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The decorative door 1 according to the present invention has a structure in which the upper and lower horizontal frames 2 and 3 and the vertical frames 4 and 5 on both sides are connected to each other between the upper and lower ends of the vertical frames 4 and 5. 2. A door frame 6 is formed by joining the lower horizontal stile 3 in a rectangular manner via dowels 20, and a plate 11 is attached to the opening 7 of the door frame 6: horizontal stile 2, 3 and vertical stile 4, 5 covers the core material 12 with a decorative outer covering 13 made of a synthetic resin extrusion molded material of the required length so that both end surfaces of the core material 12 are exposed (the inner central part of the door frame is In some cases, the core material is exposed due to the convenience of attaching the plate to the opening, etc.), and the decorative outer covering 13 for the upper and lower horizontal frames 2 and 3 has vertical sections at both ends. A decorative protrusion 17 in the form of a thin plate that covers the exposed end surfaces 16 of the frames 4, 5 is formed by cutting off the end portions of extruded material.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

(Effects of the invention) The decorative door according to the invention has upper and lower horizontal frames in which the core material is covered with a decorative outer cover made of synthetic resin extrusion molded material of a required length so that both end surfaces of the core material are exposed. and vertical stiles on both sides, and these are joined in a rectangular shape via dowels between the upper and lower ends of the vertical stiles, sandwiching the upper and lower horizontal stiles to form a door frame. In particular, the decorative outer coverings for the upper and lower horizontal stiles are formed by cutting off the end portions of extruded material to form thin plate-shaped decorative protrusions that cover the exposed end surfaces of the vertical stiles. We are hiring.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the joint portion between the vertical stile and the horizontal stile has a good appearance, the joint portion is structurally stable, and it is easy to assemble. A decorative door suitable for use as a storage door for kitchen utensils, furniture, cabinets, etc. will be provided.

A concrete explanation of this is as follows.

Since the decorative protrusions of the decorative outer cover for the upper and lower horizontal stiles are in the form of a thin plate, the decorative protrusions cover the exposed end surfaces of the vertical stile in a stable state in close contact with the exposed end surfaces.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, there is no structural instability that occurs when the exposed end faces of the stiles are covered with box-shaped decorative protrusions, and the joints between the stiles can be decorated to look good. Furthermore, since the decorative protrusion is in stable and close contact with the exposed end surface of the vertical stile, the decorative door can be easily assembled.

Since the vertical stile and the horizontal stile are joined via dowels, it is not necessary to join the stile to each other using screws at the decorative protrusion portions as in the case shown in FIG.

Therefore, even if the decorative door according to the present invention is used in a low-height storage cabinet for kitchen utensils, etc., there is no risk that the appearance of the door will be damaged by the heads of the screws, and from this point of view, the decorative door will not be damaged. The door can be made to have an excellent appearance.

The decorative outer covering for the upper and lower horizontal stiles will be manufactured using extrusion molding material, and the end portions will be cut off as required to form decorative protrusions that cover the exposed end faces of the vertical stiles. Therefore, when manufacturing decorative doors with different door widths, this can be easily done by adjusting the length of the extruded material used to match the width of the decorative door. . Therefore, the inconvenience of having to individually design and manufacture a plurality of types of decorative outer coverings with different lengths, such as the horizontal stile members shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, does not occur.
