Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to storage cases for various articles such as letter cases and document cases, or to drawers in cabinets and other furniture.

[Conventional technology]

Since the handle is provided at the most visible part of the front of the drawer, the design of the entire drawer is influenced by this handle.

In conventional drawers, the handle is generally formed integrally with the drawer main body by partially recessing or partially protruding the front surface of the drawer main body.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, with conventional drawers in which the handle is integrated with the drawer body, variations in the design of the handle (shape, color, format, etc.) are limited in terms of productivity, so the design of the drawer is also limited. There was a problem that variations in handles were limited to a few types, resulting in low commercial value.

On the other hand, on the user side, there is a desire to freely change the design of the handles according to their preference, or in response to stains and damage caused by long-term use, but conventional drawers have not been able to meet these demands.

Therefore, with this invention, the handles can be arbitrarily selected from a variety of designs, making it possible to diversify the overall design of the drawer, and also allowing the user to easily change the design of the handles as desired. It provides a drawer.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a drawer in which a handle is provided on the front surface of the drawer main body, in which a handle mounting portion is provided on the front surface of the drawer main body, and the handle mounting portion includes at least left and right side walls. The handle is provided with a notch that opens upward, and the handle is provided with protrusions on both left and right sides, and when the protrusions engage with the notches, the handle can be attached and detached from above inside the handle attachment part. A handle holder is removably fitted into the outside of the handle attachment part, and the handle holder is provided with a handle presser part that prevents upward movement of the handle when attached to the handle attachment part. At the same time, the handle holder and the handle attachment part are provided with an engaging part that elastically engages with each other in the attached state of the handle holder to hold the handle holder in the handle attachment part. Item 1).

In addition, in the invention of claim 2, in the structure of claim 1, the handle attachment part is provided inside the front face of the drawer body, and the handle is attached to the handle attachment part in a state where it is flush with the front face of the drawer body. It is something that was given.

On the other hand, in the invention according to claim 3, in the configuration according to claim 1, the handle attachment portion is provided to protrude to the outside of the front surface of the drawer main body.

Furthermore, in the invention of claim 4, the projection is formed in the shape of a shaft that can rotate within the notch, and the handle is attached to the handle attachment part so as to be rotatable around the axis of the projection.

[Effect]

According to the structure of claim 1, since another independent handle is detachably attached to the drawer main body, the drawer main body is common, and the handle can be arbitrarily selected from various designs. Therefore, the overall design of the drawer can be varied.

Furthermore, the handle is attached by fitting the protrusion into the notch of the handle attachment portion and pressing down from above with the handle holder, so that the handle can be easily attached and detached. Therefore, by preparing handles of various designs on the manufacturer's side, users can change the handles according to their own wishes.

Second embodiment (see Figure 7) Only the differences from the first embodiment will be explained.

In the second embodiment, a pair of left and right side walls 45, 45 are protruded from the center of the front wall 2a of the drawer main body 2, the handle handle portion 4 is formed to protrude outward from the front of the drawer main body, and the left and right side walls 45 , 45 are provided with notches 46, 46 that open upward, and engagement holes 47, 47 are provided in the front portions thereof, respectively.

On the other hand, the handle 3 consists of a vertical main part 36, a horizontal upper wall 37, and left and right side walls (only one side is shown) 38.
6 is provided with a protrusion 39 that fits into it.

Further, the handle holder 5 is formed in a gate shape consisting of an upper wall 56 and left and right side walls 57, 57, and has engaging protrusions on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls 57, 57 that engage with the engaging holes 47, 47. 58, 58 are provided, and handle holding portions 59, 59 are provided at the rear end of the same side wall.

The operation for attaching the handle 3 in this second embodiment is as follows:
Basically the same as in the first embodiment, after the handle 3 is fitted into the handle mounting part 4, the mounting holder 5
is fitted into the handle attachment part 4 so that the handle holding part 59 presses down the protrusion 39 from above.

This second embodiment also provides basically the same effects as the first embodiment. Also,
Since the attachment attachment part 4 is provided on the outside of the front surface of the drawer body 2, the internal volume of the drawer body 2 is not narrowed thereby.

In this embodiment, the entire rear surface of the handle 3 comes into contact with the front wall 2a of the drawer main body. Therefore, the handle 3 is attached in a non-rotatable manner. In the figure, 36a is a notch for hooking fingers on the main portion 36.

However, even in this second embodiment, it is possible to configure the handle 3 to be rotatable around the axis of the protrusion 39. Or, conversely, the first
In the embodiment, the protrusions 35, 35 are cut out 43, 4.
By forming the handle into a shape that cannot be rotated within the handle (for example, a vertically long projecting piece), the handle can be made non-rotatable.

By the way, in both embodiments, the drawer main body 2,
The handle 3 and the handle holder 5 are usually made of plastic, but they may also be made of a metal plate such as a steel plate.

Furthermore, although the present invention is particularly suitable for drawers in article storage cases where there is a strong demand for diversification of design, it can also be applied to drawers in general furniture such as various cabinets or chests of drawers.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, another independent handle is detachably attached to the drawer main body, so the drawer main body is common, and the handle can be arbitrarily selected from various designs. Therefore, the overall design of the drawer can be varied.

Furthermore, the handle is attached by fitting the protrusion into the notch of the handle attachment portion and pressing down from above with the handle holder, so that the handle can be easily attached and detached. Therefore, by preparing handles of various designs on the manufacturer's side, users can change the handles according to their own wishes.

Further, according to the structure of claim 2, in addition to the above-mentioned effects, the front surface of the drawer becomes flat, which is more aesthetically pleasing, and the handle does not get in the way. Therefore, the internal volume of the drawer body is not reduced.

On the other hand, according to the structure of claim 4, in which the handle is rotatable around the axis of the protrusion, the handle is housed in the handle attachment part and does not get in the way when not in operation, and protrudes in front of the handle attachment part when in operation. It is possible to select an appropriate handle state depending on whether the handle is in operation or not, such as setting the handle in a state where it is easy to operate.
