Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a storage furniture comprising two or more furniture parts placed one above the other and separated from each other. The storage furniture shall broadly include various types of chests, bookshelves, cupboards, lockers, etc.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY AND PROBLEMS Conventionally, such storage furniture has a lower furniture part 10 and a lower furniture part 10, as shown in FIG. A measure has been taken in which the upper furniture part 11 is firmly fixed to the furniture B at the rear. This prevented the upper furniture part 11 from falling, but since the upper and lower furniture parts are integrally connected, the actual center of gravity G' is higher at the combined position of the furniture parts 10 and 11.
There was a problem in that the force F' that acts during an earthquake or the like makes it more likely to fall.

This invention solves these conventional problems and prevents the furniture part placed on it from falling and the entire storage furniture from falling, with a simple structure, without damaging the appearance of the furniture, and stably and reliably. This was done with the aim of providing storage furniture that can prevent this.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides storage furniture with two or more furniture parts placed above and below, in which the upper furniture part is placed on the lower furniture part in each of the placing parts between the upper and lower furniture parts. On the other hand, there is provided a support mechanism that supports the device so as to be slidable in the front and back direction within a predetermined range, and the support mechanism is attached and fixed to both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the lower furniture part, and is attached and fixed along the sides. A guard having a U-shaped cross section forming a convex step, a concave step formed on both left and right sides of the lower surface of the upper furniture part and fitting into the guard forming the convex step, and the concave step. a slider that is attached and fixed to the top of the furniture and can slide along the guard while being engaged with the guard; The present invention relates to a storage furniture comprising a stopper for restricting the part from falling from the lower furniture part.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of the storage furniture 1 of the present invention which is provided with fall and overturn prevention means, and the storage furniture 1 has an upper furniture part 11,
It includes a lower furniture part 10 and a support mechanism 2 that supports the upper furniture part 11 so as to be slidable in the front and rear directions within a predetermined range with respect to the lower furniture part 10.

The support mechanism 2 includes a guard 24, a slider 25, and a stopper 26.

The guard 24 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, is attached and fixed to the upper surface of the lower furniture part 10 on both the left and right sides, and forms a convex stepped portion along the sides.
On both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the upper furniture part 11, recessed stepped portions 27 are formed to fit into the card 24 formed with a convex stepped portion.

The slider 25 has a substantially L-shaped cross section and is installed and fixed within the recessed step 27, and is attached to the guard 24.
The guard 24 can be slid along the guard 24 while being engaged with the guard 24. The slider 25 is provided with a pair of front and rear sliders 25, 25.
A gap 28 having a size corresponding to, for example, approximately ⅓ of the depth of the storage furniture is formed between them.

The stopper 26 has a thickness corresponding to the vertical width of the groove of the guard 24, and is inserted into the opening 29 formed in the middle of the guard 24 in the longitudinal direction, and the slider 25 is inserted into the groove of the guard 24. form a stopper against

FIG. 1 shows a state before the upper furniture part 11 is placed on the lower furniture part 10. From this state, the upper furniture part 11
To place the furniture on the lower furniture part 10, move the upper furniture part 11 as shown by reference numeral 3 and move the slider 25, 25.
is inserted into the grooves of the guards 24, 24 to properly align the upper and lower furniture parts 10, 11, and then the stopper 26 is inserted from the opening 29. The inserted stopper 26 is located in the groove of the guard 24 at the middle of the gap 28 between the sliders 25, 25. The left stopper 26 in FIG. 1 is shown inserted in this manner.

By placing the upper furniture part 11 on the lower furniture part 10 in this way, the upper furniture part 11 is placed on the lower furniture part 10.
Since the sliders 25, 25 come into contact with the stopper 26 during the sliding movement in the front and back direction, the slide movement range is within a predetermined range, that is, when the upper furniture part 11 is lowered. It is limited to a range that does not fall from the furniture part 10.
If the slide movement range is too small, it will not be possible to achieve the intended purpose, so it is preferable that a movement amount of 4 cm or more can be obtained in ordinary chests of drawers, cupboards, etc., and about 10 cm is most appropriate.

The storage furniture 1 according to the present invention operates as follows. As shown in Figure 2, storage furniture 1 was damaged due to earthquakes, etc.
When a force acts on the upper furniture part 11, the lower furniture part 1
Since it is movable above 0, external forces F ₁ and F ₂ act on the centers of gravity G ₁ and G ₂ of each furniture part. Therefore, the moment acting on each furniture part is smaller than that in the case of fixing it with conventional metal fittings (see Fig. 4), and as a result, each furniture part is placed on the installation surface A or the lower furniture part 1.
It tends to slide above 0. On this occasion,
Since the forward movement of the upper furniture part 11 is restricted to a certain amount by the stopper 26, this prevents it from falling from the lower furniture 10. In FIG. 2, the dashed line indicates the initial installation position of the storage furniture 1. When the force due to an earthquake or the like is large, or depending on the condition of the installation surface A, the lower furniture part 10 may rotate forward as shown in FIG. In this case as well, the energy based on the force acting on the storage furniture 1 is dispersed and absorbed as energy for the rotation of the lower furniture part 10 and the sliding movement of the upper furniture part 11, and as a result, the rotation of the lower furniture part 10 is absorbed. The amount of movement is reduced, and overturning of the storage furniture 1 is prevented.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the placed furniture part is supported by the furniture part below the furniture part via the support mechanism so that it can be moved within a range without falling. Therefore, energy from earthquakes, etc. is absorbed by movement between the upper and lower furniture parts, etc.
As a result, it is possible to provide storage furniture that is effective in preventing the placed storage section from falling and preventing the entire storage furniture from falling.

Furthermore, the support mechanism consists of a guard, a slider, and a stopper, which is structurally simple, and the assembly operation is extremely simple because the assembly is completed by inserting the slider through the guard and inserting the stopper through the opening of the guard. .

Furthermore, the assembled support mechanism is structurally robust since the slider is engaged within the guard, and the drop prevention and tip-over prevention functions can be maintained almost permanently.

Furthermore, the support mechanism is simply a guard that is exposed to the outside, and this guard is not much different from the guard that is originally provided on storage furniture. It can be used to prevent objects from falling and storage furniture from falling.
