Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to furniture having sliding doors, and aims to provide furniture having a structure advantageous for opening and closing the sliding doors.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 2, general furniture with sliding doors has a thin carved handle 18 on one side of the front door 12 of the furniture body 11, and a handle 18 on the rear door 13. A similar engraved handle 19 is also provided on one side of the door for opening and closing.

In addition, 14 and 15 are the side plates of the furniture main body 11, and 16
is a top plate, and 17 is a bottom plate.

The edge 20 of the front door 12 of such conventional furniture opposite the handle forms a straight side edge.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Such a furniture main body 11 can be opened by grasping the handle 18 of the front door 12 and sliding it to the left, and by grasping the handle 19 of the rear door 13 and opening it to the right. However, when the front door 12 is fully opened, it overlaps the rear door 13 and the handle 19
It will block out.

In this state, if you want to open the front of the rear door 13, you must slide the front door 12 slightly to the right to expose the handle 19 of the rear door 13, and then put your hand on the handle 19 to open it. It requires a two-step operation, and is usually based on prying open the opposite edge 20 with your fingertips to expose the handle 19 and then opening it.

However, this is very troublesome, and the opposite edge 20 may be scratched by fingernails or stained with dirt from the hands, making it very unsightly.

Further, when the rear door 13 is fully opened by such an operation, it overlaps the rear surface of the front door 12, and the handle 19 is hidden, making it difficult to pull it out.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention solves and improves the above problems, and includes a door on the opposite edge of the handle of furniture with sliding doors, when the rear door is opened. This furniture is characterized by having a cutout part for not blocking the door handle.

[Function] As shown in FIG. 1, the furniture of the present invention can open the right front side of the furniture body 1 by placing a hand on the handle 8 of the front door 2 and sliding it to the left.

In this right front open state, the front door 2 moves to the left side of the furniture body 1 and overlaps with the rear door 3, but the handle 9 of the rear door 3 is not blocked by the cutout 10. , remains on the front, so by placing your hand on this handle 9 and sliding it to the right, you can move the rear door 3 together with the front door 2 to the right, and move the left front of the furniture body 1 all at once. It can be left open.

In this state, the rear door 3 and the front door 2 overlap the right side of the furniture body 1, but the handle 9 of the rear door 3 is exposed at the front by the notch 10. Because of this, the handle 9 can be easily brought into a fully closed state by placing your hand on it and sliding it to the left.

Therefore, there is no need to touch any part other than the handle to open and close the door, and the door is not damaged or soiled, making the furniture extremely user-friendly.

By having such a notch 10, it is possible to make the handle protrude from the surface of the door panel, thereby further improving its usability and providing furniture with a high degree of freedom in design. can be obtained.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the furniture of the present invention, where 1 is the furniture body, 2 is a front door, and 3 is a rear door. 4 and 5 are both side plates of the furniture main body 1, 6 is a top plate, and 7 is a bottom plate.

Reference numeral 8 indicates a pull provided on the front door 2, and numeral 9 indicates a pull provided on the rear door 3. In the figure, these pulls are carved into the plate surface of the door with a thin peripheral edge. However, it may be in the form of a handle that protrudes from the plate surface.

A notch 10 is formed in the center of the opposite edge of the front door 2 facing the pull 8, and the notch 10 corresponds to the pull 9 formed on the rear door 3. The length and width of the handle 9 are approximately equal to each other.

Therefore, when the front door 2 is opened and the notch 10 overlaps the rear door 3, the cutout 10 remains exposed at the front without blocking the handle 9 of the rear door 3. .

Note that this notch 10 should be formed so that when both sliding doors 2 and 3 are closed to completely close the furniture, a portion overlapped by the opposite edge of each handle should be left. To this end, it is necessary to determine the size and shape of the pulls 8 and 9 and the degree of overlap between their opposite edges.

Thus, when opening the front door 2 and opening the rear door 3 in this state, put your hand on the handle 9 of the rear door 3,
By opening the rear door 3 and sliding the front door 2 at the same time, both sliding doors can be opened at once and easily.Also, when closing the rear door 3 from the fully open state, this method can be used. Due to the presence of the notch 10, it is possible to close the handle 9 very smoothly by placing the hand on the handle 9 that remains exposed at the front.

[Effects of the invention] The furniture of the invention has a notch corresponding to the rear door handle on the opposite edge of the front door handle, so that when the rear door is opened, the rear door handle is inserted into this cutout. The rear door can be opened and closed as easily as the front door by not being obscured by the cutout.

In other words, in the conventional furniture without the above-mentioned notch, when opening the rear door from the open state of the front door, the front door is first shifted to expose the rear door handle to the front, and the handle cannot be touched. It was necessary to pull out the handle hidden in the front door in order to open the rear door by hanging it, and to close the rear door in the open state. The handle always appears on the front of the furniture in the same way as the front door handle, so it can be operated almost as easily as the front door.

Accordingly, it is also possible to make the opening and closing operations of the door easier by making each handle protrude from the front surface of the door.

The furniture of this invention has extremely high practicality as furniture with sliding doors, such as bookcases, chests of drawers, sideboards, cupboards, and other storage compartments.
Since the formation of the notch portion is only added to the manufacturing process, the manufacturing process is easy and inexpensive.
