Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a kitchen cabinet.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, the following types of cabinets are known as this type of cabinet. That is, it is a cabinet having a cabinet body combined in a box shape with wood rods or plywood, and a top plate made of stainless steel plate or synthetic resin, which is attached to the upper part of the cabinet body in a cover shape. The top plate is provided with a sink, a worktop, a gas stove, etc. either singly or in combination. The top plate was fixed either by a mounting bracket attached to the inner surface of the side plate of the cabinet body or directly by screwing to the outer surface of the side plate.

[0003]

[Disadvantages of conventional cabinets]

 Conventional cabinets have the following drawbacks. That is, when using a mounting bracket to fix the top plate, the fixing work is troublesome and difficult, and when the top plate is screwed directly to the outer surface of the side plate of the cabinet body, the appearance of the screw is exposed. Above all, it was inferior.

[0004]

[Means for eliminating the above drawbacks]

 This invention adopts the following means in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. That is, the front edge of the top plate is provided with an engagement edge facing the cabinet body side, and the rear edge of the top plate is provided with a hanging plate portion that abuts against the back surface of the cabinet body. On the front upper part, there is provided an engaging piece which can be engaged and disengaged so as to move toward and away from the engaging edge of the top plate.

The engagement piece provided on the cabinet body may be replaced with a projecting member that engages with the upper portion of the engagement edge of the top plate.

[0006]

[Function of the device]

 This device has the following actions. After covering the top of the cabinet body with the top plate, the engagement piece on the cabinet body side is advanced toward the engagement edge of the top plate. Therefore, the top plate is fixed as the engagement edge and the engagement piece engage with each other.

When an overhanging member is provided on the cabinet body in place of the engaging piece, first, the overhanging member is engaged with the engaging edge of the top plate, and then the top plate is moved to the rear edge portion. Place the hanging plate part of the cabinet on the cabinet so that it contacts the back of the cabinet. As a result, the top plate is fixed so that it receives the tension forces which are opposite to each other in the front-rear direction.

[0008]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to two embodiments A and B shown in the drawings.

Example A (see FIGS. 1 to 3) In this Example A, the front means the left side of FIG. 1, the rear means the same right side, the left means the front side of FIG. 1, and the right means Say the same side. As shown in FIG. 1, at the front edge of the top plate 5, an engaging edge 6 facing the cabinet body 1 side is provided. Further, a hanging plate portion 7 that contacts the back plate 4 of the cabinet body 1 is provided at the rear edge of the top plate 5. In this embodiment, since the top plate 5 is made of a stainless plate, the engaging edge 6 and the hanging plate part 7 as a whole including the sink part 9 and the back guard part 8 are bent of the stainless material plate. , Is formed integrally by a method such as deep drawing or welding.

The cabinet body 1 is provided with an engagement piece 10 on a front plate 3 which is an upper front portion thereof via a mounting bracket 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the engaging piece 10 is formed by bending a strip-shaped material plate into an L shape, and a long hole 12 which is long in the front-rear direction is formed in the horizontal plate portion. The engagement piece 10 is adapted to be screwed to the mounting bracket 11 by a screw 13 which is inserted from the lower side of the elongated hole 12, and when the screw 13 is loosened, the engaging piece 10 is moved back and forth along the elongated hole 12. The position can be adjusted freely. Although not shown in the drawing, two to three assembled bodies of the engagement pieces 10 and the mounting brackets 11 are attached to the front plate 3 of the cabinet body 1 in the left-right direction.

Operation of Embodiment A As shown in FIG. 3, when the engaging piece 10 is positioned at the rearmost position with respect to the mounting bracket 11, when the top plate 5 is put on the cabinet body 1, the engaging piece 10 is engaged. The engagement edge 6 of the top plate 5 does not collide and interfere with the piece 10. After the top plate 5 is placed on the upper part of the cabinet main body 1, the screw 13 is slightly loosened, and the engagement piece 10 is advanced toward the front to engage with the engagement edge 6 of the top plate 5. (See FIG. 1) and tighten the screw 13. Finally, as shown in FIG. 1, the hanging plate portion 7 of the top plate 5 is screwed to the back plate 4 of the cabinet body 1 to complete the fixing of the top plate 5 to the cabinet body 1. If the top plate 5 is fixed before the door 2 (see FIG. 1) is attached to the cabinet body 1, the work becomes easier.

By the way, the engaging piece 10 may be provided with a screw hole, and the elongated hole 12 may be formed in the mounting bracket 11 (however, the vertical arrangement of the two is opposite to the above). Further, even when the engaging piece 10 is formed in a flat disc shape and a screw insertion hole is opened at the eccentric position and is screwed to the mounting bracket 11, the disc engaging piece 10 is also possible. This structure can also be adopted because it becomes possible to move back and forth like a so-called eccentric cam. Further, the engagement piece 10 may be formed in a horizontally long shape so as to correspond to the length of the cabinet 1 in the left-right direction.

Embodiment B (see FIGS. 4 and 5) In this Embodiment B, the front means the left side of FIG. 4, the rear means the same right side, the left means the front side of FIG. 4 and the right means Say the same side. In the top plate 5, the engagement edge 6 is provided at the front edge portion thereof, and the hanging plate portion 7 (see FIG. 1) is provided at the rear edge portion thereof although omitted from the drawing. Similar to Example A.

The cabinet body 1 is provided with a projecting member 15 that projects forward with respect to the front plate 3 that is the upper front portion thereof. The protruding length of the overhanging member 15 is formed to be equal to the length from the front surface of the front plate 3 of the cabinet body 1 to the upper inner surface of the engaging edge 6 of the top plate 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the projecting member 15 is formed by bending a strip-shaped material plate into a crank shape. Although not shown in the drawings, the overhanging members 15 are attached to the front plate 3 of the cabinet body 1 in the left-right direction in two or three pieces. The overhanging member 15 may have a horizontally long shape corresponding to the length of the cabinet 1 in the left-right direction (for example, a square bar).

Operation of Embodiment B As shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4, first, the top plate 5 is brought close to the cabinet main body 1 in a state in which the engaging edge 6 of the top plate 5 is inclined so that it is lowered frontward. Then, the engaging edge 6 of the top plate 5 is hooked from the front lower side of the projecting member 15 so that the whole top plate 5 is tilted to the upper part of the cabinet 1, and at the same time, the hanging plate portion of the top plate 5 is pulled down. 7 (see FIG. 1) is pushed down along the back plate 4 (see FIG. 1) of the cabinet body 1. After that, the hanging plate portion 7 is screwed to the back plate 4 to complete the fixing of the top plate 5 to the cabinet body 1.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention has the following effects due to the configuration as described above. Not only is the work of fixing the top plate easy, but the appearance after fixing is also neat.
