From the back to the front, parallel to the bottom wall halfway,
From the middle, the front is an arch-shaped curved diagonally downward,
As a result, when the tray is pulled diagonally upwards, the pin at the front of the lower part comes out of the frame, and then the pin at the rear of the upper part moves to the arcuate curved part, the tray rotates forward and downward using the pin at the lower rear as a fulcrum and becomes almost horizontal. It will become.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> When the tray is pushed into the housing and stored, the tray is tilted backwards.
If the tray is used as an accessory case, the items placed there will move toward the rear due to the inclination.

Since each pin protrudes from both the left and right sides of the tray, even when the tray is pulled out from the front of the housing to its maximum extent, the rear of the tray remains within the housing. Therefore, it is inconvenient to remove objects that have moved to the rear of the tray by inserting a hand into the housing.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the drawer device according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a housing having a bottom wall, left and right side walls, and a housing that is slidable in the front and rear directions on the bottom wall of the housing. a tray that is mounted on the housing and can be protruded from the open front surface of the housing; and a slider that is connected to the rear of the tray by a left-right pivot pin and slides integrally with the tray, the tray includes: Left and right rearward extending arms are provided that extend behind a pivot pin that connects the slider, and opposing extension arms are provided on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the housing to guide the left and right ends of the pivot pin that connects the slider to the rear of the tray. A guide groove and opposing guide grooves for guiding pins protruding from the rear ends of the left and right rearward extensions of the tray are provided, and the guide grooves have an entire length between the front and back parallel to the bottom wall of the housing. In addition, the guide groove is characterized in that a first part from the rear to the middle of the guide groove is parallel to the bottom wall, and a second part of the guide groove from the middle to the front is diagonally upward.

Then, the tray 4 becomes horizontal and the entire tray 4 comes out from the open front surface of the housing 1.

When the tray 4 that has come out in this way is pushed into the housing 1, the claw piece 30 of the slider 5, which retreats together with the tray 4, moves the cap 31' in the forward position a little before the retracted state by the built-in spring. The catch 31' engages the claw piece 30.
If you let go of the tray when the tray 4 can no longer be pushed into the housing 1, the catch 31' will move forward a little due to the restoring force of the built-in spring, and the tray will move forward. 4 and slider 5 are pushed back to the retracted state, and at this point the catch 31' is moored by the cam and the claw piece 30
The slider 5 and the tray 4 are stopped by the constant pressure spring 25, which prevents the slider 5 and the tray 4 from being pulled out by the force of the constant pressure spring 25.

In this way, the constant pressure spring 25, the rotary damper 27,
When the raised latch 31 is used, the tray 4 can be pulled out silently by slightly pushing the tray 4, giving it a luxurious feel.

Further, in this embodiment, depressions 32 which are open to the upper surface are formed on the left and right sides of the slider 5, thereby saving the amount of plastic used for molding and reducing the weight. A separately molded box-shaped piece 33 is fitted and fixed in this recess, and the forward protruding piece 33' provided on the piece 33 is inserted into the slit 3 provided on the front surface of the recess.

The head of the other pin 15 is received by the side surface of the space 12 formed on both sides of the slider for inserting the extension arm 11. As a result, the same length is used for the pivot pins 14 and 15, and as described above, the pivot pins 14 are short from the side of each extension arm, and the pins 15 are short.
5 can be made to protrude longer than that.

Furthermore, protrusions 34 are provided at each of the front and rear ends of the guide groove 22 that guides the sliding of the lid 7, and the guide portion 17 of the lid 6 has a storage position and a position where the entire front cover 7 is pulled out. It is preferable to provide a recess 35 that fits into the protrusion 34 so that it can be felt to the touch that the lid 6 has been pushed into the storage position and that the front cover 7 of the lid 6 has been pulled out.

In this embodiment, the tray 4 is used as an accessory case, and the lid 6
When the front cover 7 is pulled out and the top of the tray 4 is covered, it can also serve as a support for holding cups and cans upright. It can be fitted and used as a support for an ashtray or the like.

In addition, instead of fixing the housing 1 by tilting it upward in the front, it can also be fixed horizontally, and when the tray 4 is pulled out, the tray 4 can be tilted downward in the front, and the tray 4 can be used only for storing small items or coins. In fact, this makes it easier to put things in and take them out.

<Effects of the invention> According to the present invention, the entire tray 4, which tilts diagonally downward with respect to the pulling direction when pulled out, can be taken out from the front opening of the housing 1, making it easy to take things in and out of the tray 4. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a convenient drawer device in which an ashtray or the like removably fitted into the tray 4 can be taken in and out very easily.
