Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to the improvement of furniture such as a cabinet that is equipped with a plate body such as a table plate that can be pushed in and pulled out. Even if the space for the plate storage section is continuously opened in the front and at least one side in the connection between the upper and lower parts of the top plate, the positional relationship with the main body can be firmly maintained against the load placed on the top plate. A plate body that is a table plate that can be easily connected to each other and can be set in various configurations such as an approximately L-shaped counter type or a two-seat type by utilizing continuous openings in at least two directions, such as the storage part and the front and one side. The present invention relates to the provision of furniture that can store.

Conventionally, furniture has been provided that has a board storage space such as a table board that opens only in the front by standing up the side boards and back board and fixing the upper end with a top plate. Since it is used as a member, it has been difficult or impossible to form a continuous opening to the side as well as the front. In addition, in order to realize a continuous opening to the sides, an example was considered in which the back plate of the furniture itself was made strong to support the vertical direction by sandwiching the above-mentioned space, but the cantilever structure was weak, so When food or other items are placed on a top plate, etc., or an upper cabinet is installed, the space in the storage section may strain under the load, making it difficult to put in and take out the plate, and even damage the furniture itself. On the other hand, in order to solve this problem, it has been devised to removably attach a support member to either the front or side continuous opening of the storage section, but this would complicate the configuration and handling. In addition, the cantilever structure loses its original function of allowing plates to be taken in and out of the storage section from either the left or right side.

This project was devised to solve the above problem, and its gist is to connect the lower cabinet body and the top panel on both sides using a U-shaped reinforcing connecting metal fitting with a space similar to that of the board storage section. The plate storage section is connected to the front side and at least one side thereof to form a solid cantilever structure, and to realize a continuous opening to the front and at least one side of the plate storage section. The main feature is that the plate body can be accommodated in a state in which the portion protrudes from the opening, and the plate body can be rotated forward and sideways to be pulled out and pushed in.

The following is a detailed explanation using the attached drawings: Reinforcement connection fittings 1
is formed by welding and connecting square tubes that are U-shaped in side view, and fitting a U-shaped plate-shaped reinforcing metal fitting 17 as shown in FIG. To install it, fit the upper piece 2 into the top plate A' of the cabinet A through its rear opening, position the lower piece 3 on the lower surface of the bottom plate 5 of the storage compartment 4, and insert it into the opening at its front end. 6 to cabinet A
The upper piece is aligned with the opening 7 formed on the front side of the main body.
Both the lower pieces are attached to the side plates 8 or 9, respectively, by fastening with screws 10 or by other means,
The main body A'' and the top plate A' of the cabinet A are connected to each other by the reinforcing connecting fittings 1 on both sides, and the structure is in a rear cantilevered state, that is, at least one side, in the illustrated example, both sides and the front are continuously opened. The plate storage section 4 is formed.Here, the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 is not limited to a square tube, but is made of a metal plate having the same thickness that exhibits the same strength and is formed into a U-shape when viewed from the side. Good too,
Further, the back plate 11 that shields the back surface of the plate storage section 4 is attached by appropriate means such as screwing using the back surfaces of the reinforcing connecting fittings on both sides. In this way, the cantilevered structure using the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 of the present invention allows the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 to be supported even when a large load is applied by providing the upper cabinet B on the top plate 12 as shown in the example in Fig. 5. Therefore, since it can be supported reliably, there is no fear that the space in the plate storage section 4 will be distorted, and a constant spatial shape can be maintained at all times. Note that if the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 is formed into a square tube or other tubular structure and the front end opening 6 of the lower piece 3 is aligned with or exposed to the opening 7 formed on the front surface of the cabinet body A'', the openings 6, 7 The lower piece 3 of the connecting fitting 1 reinforces the supporting fitting 13 for supporting the plate through the
It can be inserted inside and fixed to the side wall of the lower piece 3 via the mounting plate 14 or directly with screws etc.
Alternatively, a mounting portion to be tightly fitted into the lower piece 3 may be provided at the base of the support fitting 13 and fixed by fitting and screwing. A plate C is stored in the plate storage section 4 with the front and at least one side portion of the plate C protruding from the opening of the front plate storage section. As a result, the plate C
The protruding portion can be used as a substantially L-shaped counter-type table toward the outside of the cabinet. In addition, the plate C is accommodated in the plate storage part 4 so that it can be rotated forward and laterally, pulled out, and pushed in, that is, it is slidably positioned on the upper surface of the bottom plate 5 of the plate storage part 4. Since it can not only slide but also rotate horizontally, for example, as shown in the embodiments shown in Figures 5 and 6, the plate C can be used as a roughly L-shaped counter table when stored, and when pulled out, it can be used as a dining table. It can also be used as a table. In this case, the pivot 1 is attached to a bearing fitting 15 provided at the tip of a supporting fitting 13 fixed to the lower piece 3 of the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 on the side that opens to the side in a forward protruding state.
6, the plate C is pivoted so as to be rotatable, and if the pivot point of this pivot 16 is eccentrically set at a predetermined position and the plate C is connected, the plate C can be connected as shown by the dashed line in the figure. When the table is pulled out and used as a dining table, the protruding dimension L toward one side (the right side in the figure) can be made shorter than when it is stored, thereby making it possible to increase the indoor space.

According to the present invention as described above, by using the reinforcing connecting fitting 1 which is U-shaped in side view, it is possible to firmly and easily connect the separate top plate portion and the main body, and at the same time, the connection can be connected to the rear side. Since it is in a holding state, a space can be formed between the top and bottom that has a continuous opening to the front and at least one side, and the lever opening can be used to store a plate body that partially protrudes to the front and to the side and can be used as a counter table. It is possible. In addition, since the plate can be freely pulled out or pushed in forward or to the side of the storage section, it can be pulled out or rotated to be used as a table for a two-person dining table, etc. The range can also be freely changed along the front and side continuous openings of the plate storage section. For this reason, the plate can be used in a variety of ways. That is,
In a typical household, the composition of the number of people and the contents of the meals during breakfast, lunch, and dinner differ greatly, and in the morning and afternoon, the board can be used as a counter table with the board in its stored state, allowing for a wider use of space. Furthermore, since the counter table is continuous to the side, you can look at each other's faces even during a short and simplified meal, so you can expect a relaxed atmosphere at home. The bottom surface of the table can be used as a temporary storage area for unnecessary chairs, and the top surface can be used as a temporary storage area for items.In the evening, the rotating drawer can be pulled out and used as a dining table with two seats, making it a place for meals and evening lounging. Furthermore, since there is a continuous opening on the side, a part of the dining table can be placed on that side, increasing the number of people using the dining table, or using it as a temporary storage place for extra items on top. This allows us to provide extremely convenient furniture.

By using the reinforcing connecting metal fittings 1, there is no need to set a space for the board storage section and manufacture the furniture in advance, and the top board section of fixed specifications that has been manufactured separately. By using the main body and preparing the reinforcing connecting metal fittings in various sizes, various plate bodies can be stored and applied, so we can respond to the wide variety of requests from customers and create a custom-made manufacturing method for each case. It can be carried out on an industrial production line even if it is not necessary.

In addition, in terms of structural strength, even when a large load such as the cabinet B is placed on the top surface of the top plate A', it can be ensured without causing defects such as distortion in the storage space of the plate storage section 4. The reinforcing member can be attached to the main body A'' and the top plate A' of the cabinet A by using U-shaped upper piece 2 and lower piece 3. It can be installed extremely easily by simply fitting it through the rear opening and fixing it with screws, etc.
