Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a technology for indoor equipment such as storage boxes, and a technology for closing gaps in wall panels (hereinafter referred to as panels) of movable partitions that occur at the installation location.

Conventionally, in movable partitions, the gap between the panel and the wall or stud (column) extends from the floor to the ceiling. They have been installed on walls, walls, etc. to block this. However, for indoor equipment such as storage boxes, the above-mentioned gaps have not been a problem, nor have frame materials or the like been used to close them.

However, storage boxes etc. fill most or the entire surface of one wall of the room and are lined up in front of it.
And as storage boxes become taller, reaching almost from the floor to the ceiling, installation gaps between pillars and panels become aesthetically and hygienically problematic, just as with panels. . Hygienic issues include the accumulation of dirt and the inability to remove dirt. Moreover, since it is tall, it has weaknesses, especially in front and rear stability.

To counter these problems, it is not possible to attach the closing frame material to a pillar or the like in the same way as a panel.
That is, the depth of the storage box is quite deep (wide).
Since the installation is done by pushing, the position to attach the closing frame material cannot be determined due to the gap created in front of the wall. Also, unlike panels, storage boxes can be moved or changed in size, pattern, or type, so if the closing frame material is fixed, it will become a useless and long item. This is because if it is removed, it will leave scratches on the panels, pillars, etc., making them unsightly. Even if you try to solve this problem by having a closing piece protrude sideways from the front end of the storage box, the gap between the panels, etc. will end up on the left side, right side, or rear side of the storage box. Therefore, even if it is installed in each storage box, it is equivalent to the above-mentioned unnecessary length in places where there is no installation gap.

The present invention consists of male,
A leaf spring piece and a spiral spring are interposed between the female frames to allow the male lid part to slide left and right in contact with the female lid part, and the gap is closed by pushing in a storage box or the like.
This is an installation gap closing device for a storage box, etc., which can be used at the opposite front end when used upside down, and solves all of the above problems.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The installation gap closing device 1 for a storage box or the like of the present invention is made of a hard material such as metal, and is integrally connected facing each other to form a hollow vertical column.
It mainly consists of a male frame 2 and a female frame 3. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a state in which the storage box 4 is cut in the vertical direction.
It is attached to the front end 5 etc. of indoor equipment such as,
A gap 7 between the panel 6 and the like is covered by a female lid part 8 and a male lid part 9.

The male frame 2 and female frame 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. First, the male frame 2 is formed by bending one open end of the vertically long flat plate 10 in the longitudinal direction 11 inward at an acute angle that is nearly perpendicular to the width to form the abutment piece 12. In addition, the other open end of the flat plate 10 is bent outward at a right angle to a small width, leaving the wide male spring support part 13, and then the open end is bent inward at a right angle to a medium width, and placed against a wall. A contact portion 14 is defined as a contact portion 14, and a male spring support portion 13 and a wall contact portion 14 are defined as a male main body portion 15. Wall contact part 1
A male lid part 9 is formed by making the open tip part of 4 protrude inward at right angles to the middle width. At the vertical and horizontal centers of the male main body 15, one or a plurality of protruding or concave spring abutting parts 1 are arranged at equal intervals above and below the male main body part 15.
6 will be provided. On the other hand, one tip of the leaf spring piece 18 is bent inward at an acute angle to form a locking protrusion 17.
is attached horizontally from the spring abutment part 16, and the locking protrusion 17 is made to protrude from the abutment piece part 12 so as to be capable of spring movement.

The fact that it can be moved by a spring means that it has the function of spring repulsion.

The above is the structure of the male frame 2 of the present invention.

In the female frame 3, one open end portion of the longitudinal direction 11 of the vertically long flat plate 10 is bent inward at right angles to the middle width to form a receiving piece portion 19, and the other open end portion of the flat plate 10 is
Leaving the wide female spring support part 20 remaining, bend it outward at a right angle to a small width, and then bend it inward at a right angle to the middle width to form a side end support part 21. Further, the inner width is bent inward at right angles to form the female lid part 8.

Alternatively, the female lid part 8 may be formed by not forming the side end support part 21 but by bending the open end of the female spring support part 20 inward at right angles to the middle width. A similar protruding or concave spring abutting part 16 is provided at a position facing the spring abutting part 16 of the male frame 2, and the receiving piece 19 is provided with a spring abutting part 16 of the male frame 2.
The locking protrusion 17 of the leaf spring piece 18 is in a protruding state,
In addition, a through hole 22 is provided to be inserted so as to be able to move with a spring.

The above is the structure of the female frame 3 of the present invention.

Assembling or connecting the male frame 2 and the female frame 3 in the present invention involves placing the contact piece 12 of the male frame 2 on the receiving piece 19 of the female frame 3, and placing the stopper piece 12 of the male frame 2 on the locking protrusion 17 of the leaf spring piece 18 of the male frame 2. The receiving piece 19 is made to protrude from the transparent hole 22 in a spring movable manner, and the male lid part 9 of the male frame 2 is made to circumscribe the inner wall 23 of the female lid part 8 of the female frame 3.
A spiral spring 24 is attached to 6 to form the installation gap closing device 1 for a storage box or the like of the present invention.

In the present invention, due to the leaf spring piece 18 and the spiral spring 24, the male lid part 9 tries to slide outward while circumscribing the inner wall 22 of the female lid part 8, while the male lid part 9 When the wall contact part 14 of No. 2 is pushed inward,
Due to the housing of the leaf spring piece 18 and the spiral spring 24, the male lid part 9 slides inward while circumscribing the inner wall 23 of the female lid part 8. This allows the gap 7 between the storage box 4 and the panel etc. to be completely closed, and also prevents the storage box 4 from collapsing back and forth by firmly fixing it in the left and right directions. Front end 5 of storage box 4
The above-mentioned function of the present invention can be seen in Figures 1 and 4. To attach the present invention to the storage box 4, as shown in the figure, the outer surfaces of the side end support part 21 and the female spring support part 20 are brought into contact with the front end part 5, and fixed with screws 25. In the male frame, it is in a loosely fitted state with the screw 25 or in a state where it is not related to the screw 25. This storage box 4 is connected to the panel 6 as shown in FIG.
At this time, when it is pushed in from the front, the wall abutting part 14 is pushed by the panel 6, as shown in FIG. 4, and prevents the male lid part 9 from sliding inward as described above. Raise the panel 6 and storage box 4 and firmly press them laterally to fix them.

As seen in the figure, the gap 7 is completely closed by the female lid part 8 and the male lid part 9. Even if the storage box 4 is removed, no scratches remain on the panel 6 or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the male frame 2 and female frame 3 of the present invention have the same shape on the top and bottom, respectively, so if they are used upside down, the one used for the left front end 5, for example, can be replaced. , it can also be used for the right front side part 5, and is applicable to both the left and right front side ends 5,5. Of course, the rear side (not shown) of the storage box 4 can also be used in the same way as the front side. That is, this rear side portion may be used as the aforementioned front side portion.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
The cutting grooves 26 and the like are shown in 5 steps (in mm increments) at the top and bottom.Using such a cut groove 26, etc. allows the storage box 4, etc. to be cut at that part depending on the height and height, which is convenient.

As described above, the present invention is a novel and effective creation that closes the installation gap 7 of the storage box 4, etc., and has extremely high industrial applicability.
