Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to clothing storage furniture, such as a wardrobe or locker, which is equipped with an internal mechanism for hanging clothing.

In modern homes, especially high-rise condominiums, in most cases it is impossible to bring furniture into or out of the room from any point other than the entrance or window. To deal with this problem, it is necessary to downsize furniture by making it smaller than entrances and windows. In addition, in high-rise condominiums, etc., in many cases, 1960
There is a structural beam protruding from the wall at a height of about 1.5 mm, and if you install furniture that is taller than the structural beam, a dead space will only be created between the wall and the furniture below the structural beam. Instead, furniture protrudes into the room by the width of this dead space, resulting in the inconvenience of narrowing the living space. Furthermore, such tall furniture is inconvenient for Japanese people to actually use due to their body types, and especially in the case of wardrobes and lockers, it is difficult to reach when hanging or taking out clothing items. This is not preferable because it may cause such inconvenience. Therefore, from a practical standpoint, furniture that is not very tall and can be stored in the space below the structural beam is desired.

Therefore, in the case of a wardrobe, for example, attempts have been made to make the total height of the wardrobe lower than the position of the structural beam to eliminate the above-mentioned inconveniences and inconveniences. However, conventional wardrobes use pipes as a hanging mechanism for clothes, and in order to hang the hooks of hangers from these pipes, it is necessary to lift the hooks above the pipes and then hang them. By placing the pipe somewhat below the top of the wardrobe, space was secured above the pipe to lift the hanger hook. According to such a wardrobe, the height used for hanging clothing items, that is, the effective height, is reduced by the height of the above-mentioned space relative to the total height of the wardrobe. For example, the total height is 1800mm, 1900mm, 1940mm
The effective height of each wardrobe is 1580mm,
They are about 1655 mm and 1735 mm, and if you try to increase the effective height without changing the overall height, you will have problems in actual use, such as making it difficult to hook the hanger hook.

On the other hand, furniture such as wardrobes can be brought in and out through the entrances and windows of high-rise condominiums, and while it has been made smaller so that it can be stored under structural beams, it is also possible to store clothing items. There is a demand for something that can store a lot of things. One possible measure to meet this demand is to increase the width of the wardrobe without changing its overall height. However, if you increase the width, you may not be able to secure space for installing other furniture, and the furniture installation space in your home is limited to 1, 1.5, 2, etc., so increasing the width is not recommended. It is not very desirable to increase the storage capacity of clothing items, and it is not possible to achieve substantial downsizing.

Therefore, an effective countermeasure is to divide the interior space into upper and lower sections and store clothing items in a two-tier hanging format without changing the overall height and width of the wardrobe. However, this has the following problem.

In other words, as mentioned above, if the pipe serving as the hanging mechanism is placed below the top of the wardrobe, the effective height for hanging clothing items will be lowered accordingly. It becomes impossible to ensure that the effective height of the internal space is sufficiently high compared to the height of the clothing item. In order to make this tall enough, the total height of the wardrobe would have to be increased, which would make it too tall to be stored under the structural beams mentioned above, or it would be difficult to hang it. This causes an inconvenience in that it is inconvenient to take out the product.

This idea was made under the above circumstances, and the effective height for hanging clothing items was
For example, the basic objective is to provide clothing storage furniture that does not require the total height to be very high even when a two-level hanging type is adopted, by making the height as high as possible compared to the total height of the wardrobe. shall be.

Another purpose of this invention is to downsize clothing storage furniture so that it can be carried in and out through the entrance or window of a high-rise apartment building, and it can also be stored under structural beams. To provide at low cost clothing storage furniture capable of increasing the storage amount of clothing compared to conventional products of the same size.

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a wardrobe, which is an example of clothing storage furniture, and is a front view of the wardrobe with the opening/closing door installed at the front removed, and Figure 2 is a front view of the wardrobe shown in Figure 1. It is a sectional view along the A line.

As is clear from Figure 1, this wardrobe consists of a pair of left and right side plates 1, 1, a back plate 2 spanning between these side plates 1, 1, a top plate 3, a bottom plate 4, and a hanging upper layer. It has a mechanism 5 and a lower suspension mechanism 6, and is of a so-called two-stage suspension type. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the back plate 2 is reinforced at appropriate locations by reinforcing plates 21. Further, an architrave 7 is provided between the lower end portions of the left and right side plates 1, 1, and a curtain plate 8 is provided on the back surface thereof.

In FIG. 2, 9 indicates an opening/closing door, and 10 indicates a lintel.

Next, Figure 3 shows the top plate 3 and the upper suspension mechanism 5.
FIG. As shown in detail in the figure, the top plate 3 has a plurality of horizontal frames 31 parallel to each other.
and a pair of left and right vertical frames 32, 32 perpendicular to these are sandwiched in a sandwich-like manner by a pair of upper and lower plates 33, 34. The horizontal frame 31 and the vertical frame 32 are joined to a pair of plate bodies 33 and 34 by appropriate means such as adhesive or screws. Therefore, a pair of plates 3
3 and 34 are strongly reinforced by these horizontal frames 31 and vertical frames 32, and are arranged in an overlapping manner at a predetermined interval as shown in FIG. Among the plurality of horizontal frames 31, a rail groove 51 is carved in the central horizontal frame 311 over the entire length, and a plurality of hanging tools 52 are held in this rail groove 51. As shown in detail in FIG. 4, these hangers 52 are attached to the support frame 5 so that their axes are parallel to the top plates 33 and 34 and perpendicular to the rail groove 51.
21 is provided with a circular engaging portion 522 that is movably fitted into the rail groove 51, and the other end is provided with a flange portion 523 that prevents the hanger hook described later from falling off. Furthermore, a large-diameter notch 511 is formed at one end of the rail groove 51, as shown in FIG.
11 so that the engaging portion 522 of the hanging tool 52 can be engaged with and disengaged from the rail portion 51. On the other hand, the horizontal frame 311 provided with the rail groove 51
Another horizontal frame 312 opposite to the frame 312 has a part cut out in a curved shape to form a recessed part 312a, and by securing a wide space in front of the hanging tool 52 by the depth of this recessed part 312a. This facilitates the work of hooking the hanger onto the hanging tool 52. An opening 341 is provided in the lower plate 34 to correspond to this space. Note that a groove 313a is carved in the horizontal frame 313 disposed at the rearmost side, and the upper end of the back plate 2 is fitted into this groove 313a as shown in FIG.

The lower suspension mechanism 6 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
As is clear from the figure, it is constructed of a pipe material spanned between holding shelves 61, 61 fixed to the inner surfaces of the side plates 2, 2.

In such a wardrobe, clothing items are hung from the upper suspension mechanism 5 and the lower suspension mechanism 6 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but the upper suspension mechanism 5 is As is clear from the above, the inside of the top plate 3, that is, the pair of plate bodies 33, 3
4, there is no space between the hanging mechanism and the top plate as in the conventional case. Therefore, if the total height of the wardrobe is made equal to that of the conventional product, the effective height when clothing items are hung will be higher than that of the conventional product. In other words, if a two-tiered suspension system is adopted as in the embodiment and the effective height of each tier is set to a level that does not cause any inconvenience or inconvenience during use, the hanging mechanism 5 is attached to the top plate as described above. 3, the overall height was lower than that of conventional products, making it more compact. In addition, when the hanging mechanism 5 is incorporated inside the top plate 3 in a single-level hanging type wardrobe, its total height is 1800 mm, 1900 mm,
The effective height of a wardrobe of 1940mm is 1754mm each
mm, 1854mm, and 1814mm, making the effective height higher by 174mm, 199mm, and 79mm, respectively, compared to the previous model.

Next, if the hanging mechanism 5 is incorporated inside the top plate 3, there is a concern that it will be difficult to hook the hook of a hanger or the like during hanging. However, in the above embodiment, the hanging device 51 is used as the hanging mechanism 5, and no pipe material is used, so there is no such concern. That is, when hanging clothing S using a hanger H as shown in FIG. 5, the hook F of the hanger H is hooked onto the hanging tool 52 through the opening 341 of the plate 34 shown in FIG. At that time, if you slide the hook F while pressing it against the upper plate 33 and press it against the horizontal frame 311, the hook F will be pressed against the horizontal frame 311 regardless of which direction it was initially facing. As a result of the rotation, the hanging tool 52 is rotated as shown in FIG.
It will be easily hooked to. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, there is no need to lift the hook F to the top of the hanger 52, so there is no need to worry about the above-mentioned concerns. Moreover, by cutting out a part of the horizontal frame 312 in a curved shape in the longitudinal direction and providing the recessed part 312a,
The work space for hooking the hook F to the hanger 52 is expanded, making the work even easier. Incidentally, if the hanging tool 52 is freely moved along the rail groove 51 after the clothing item S is hung on the hanging tool 52, the clothing item S can be stored in an orderly manner.

Further, in the above embodiment, the rail groove 5 is provided in the horizontal frame 311.
1, this horizontal frame 311 is also used as a rail member. Therefore, since no special rail member is provided, material costs are reduced accordingly.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the hanging tool 52 is
11, so that the number of hanging devices 52 can be easily increased or decreased as required.

Note that the hanger 52 is not limited to being made of metal, and may be made of plastic or wood, and the plates 33 and 34 may be made of plywood, wood, or plastic. Further, although the above example is a wardrobe, the same applies to lockers and other clothing storage furniture.

As detailed above, the clothing storage furniture of this invention has a hanging mechanism for clothing items built into the top plate, so the effective height when hanging clothing items is lower than that of conventional products with the same overall height. It can be made higher. Therefore, the furniture can be carried in and out through the entrance or window of a high-rise condominium, and can be stored and installed under a structural beam, making it a small piece of furniture that has the above-mentioned high effective height. As such, it can be suitably adopted for two-tier hanging type furniture with sufficient effective height. In addition, even if the effective height is increased, the total height does not need to be as high as conventional ones, so furniture with a high effective height can be manufactured using plywood, etc. of a standardized size in the furniture manufacturing process. From this point on, conventional production lines can be used as is, leading to cost reductions.

Furthermore, since the top plate is made up of a pair of plates arranged in a superimposed manner, it has excellent strength and has the advantage that it is unlikely to bend even when a large amount of clothing is hung thereon.
