[Problems that conventional technology and ideas try to solve]

As a prior art for attaching a mirror plate to a drawer body in a cabinet, etc., Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-20903 discloses that the left and right sides of the drawer body and the front edges of the bottom plate are each bent outward at right angles to form a longitudinal section with a substantially rectangular cross section. At the same time, the four sides of the head plate are folded inward to form an appropriate fitting space on the back side of the head plate, and the joint part of the front edge of the bottom plate of the drawer body is inserted into the lower end fitting space of the head plate. Fit the joints of the front edges of the left and right sides of the drawer body into the fitting spaces on both the left and right sides of the drawer body, and use the folding tabs cut out on the lower edge of the head plate to prevent the joints of the front edges of the bottom plate of the drawer body from coming out. A structure is disclosed in which the central back side of the end plate is covered with a back plate inserted from the front end side of the drawer main body.

According to this configuration, the left and right side plates of the drawer main body are bent against elasticity so that their upper ends approach each other, and the joints at the front edges of the left and right side plates are fitted into the fitting spaces on both the left and right sides of the head plate. In this state, shift the drawer body toward the lower end of the end plate, and fit the joint portion of the front edge of the bottom plate of the drawer body into the fitting space at the lower end of the end plate.

Then, the folding claw piece cut out on the lower edge of the head plate is bent forward and inserted into the joint of the front edge of the bottom plate of the drawer body, making it impossible to pull out the drawer body upwards. It is necessary to insert the cover body from the front end side of the drawer body, fit the upper edge of the cover body into the fitting space on the upper side of the end plate, and bring the lower edge of the cover body into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate of the drawer body to lock it.
The installation work is still not easy, and there were problems in simplifying the manufacturing process of the drawer.

The present invention aims to solve this problem.

[Means for solving the problem] Therefore, in the present invention, a cover body that covers the back surface of the head plate is fixed to the front end of the drawer body, and the head plate is made up of a front plate and a surrounding frame surrounding the front plate. The cover body has a substantially U-shaped cross section and is open toward the rear, and a locking portion is provided downwardly protruding from the upper side of the surrounding frame, and an upper end edge plate portion of the cover body is provided between the front plate and the locking portion. A mounting piece is provided at the bottom of the back surface of the front plate to project rearward at an appropriate distance from the lower edge of the surrounding frame, and the mounting piece has an engaging member projecting upward from the front edge plate at the lower end of the cover body. An engagement hole is drilled through which the retaining pawl is irremovably engaged, a rib piece is provided rearwardly protruding between the lower side of the surrounding frame and the mounting piece, and a cover is provided between the upper end of the rib piece and the mounting piece. A notch locking groove is provided into which the tip of the front edge plate at the lower end of the body is inserted.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

According to this configuration, the upper end edge plate portion of the cover body fixed to the front end of the drawer body is inserted between the downward locking portion on the upper side of the surrounding frame and the front plate, so that the upper end of the cover body is It never shifts.

On the other hand, the tip of the lower end front-facing edge plate of the cover body with the locking claw projecting upward is connected to the notch locking groove between the upper end of the rearwardly projecting rib piece on the lower side of the surrounding frame and the mounting piece located above it. When inserting into
The bottom surface of the mounting piece and the top surface of the locking claw interfere,
The effect of separating the rib piece and the mounting piece by the notch locking groove makes it easier for the mounting piece to elastically deform upward, so the lower surface of the mounting piece is less likely to be scraped by the locking pawl, and the mounting piece is Once the locking pawl is inserted into the engagement hole, it will return to its original position due to the elasticity of the mounting piece itself, and the rib piece and the lower surface of the mounting piece will firmly clamp the lower end forward facing edge plate, making it impossible to remove it from now on. At the same time, the cover body is prevented from shifting up and down with respect to the mirror plate.

As described above, the present invention has the remarkable effect that the end plate can be attached and fixed to the drawer body extremely easily by simply fitting the upper and lower parts of the end plate to the upper and lower parts of the cover body. It is something to play.
