JPH08117039A - Seal device for inner corner part in corner cabinet - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate a clearance and prevent the entry of dust or worms by forcibly bending inward the thin tip ends of fin closing parts to be attached to the front end face of an inner corner part with a door at its closed position. CONSTITUTION: Fin closing parts 14 extend horizontally from the upper and lower parts of an attaching part 12 and are thinned toward their tip ends. The fin closing parts 14 are firmly attached in tight contact with the attaching part by means of a wood screw 15. Under this state, when a door 3 is closed, the door 3 comes into tight contact with the right end face 8 of an upper plate 5 or a bottom plate 6 and, the door 3 bends the fin closing parts 14 inward. Thus, the wood end face 10 of the door 3 is lightly captured in this position owing to the elasticity of the fin closing parts 14 and surely sealed. Then, when a door 2 is closed, the door 2 comes into tight contact with the left end face 7 of the upper plate 5 or the bottom plate 6. and, at the same time, the door 2 bends the fin closing parts 14 inward. In this cage, when the wood end face of the door is located within a range C because of the attaching error of the door, it comes into tight contact with the fin closing parts 14, so that a clearance is completely sealed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sealing device for a corner portion of a corner cabinet which is used as a part of a system kitchen or the like and has at least an upper end surface of a substantially L shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional corner cabinet, as shown in FIG. 9, an opening surface is formed which is recessed in the front surface of a main body (1) and is orthogonal to each other. The doors (2) and (3) for closing the door are attached so that they can be opened or closed, or as shown in FIG.
Each of the doors (2) and (3) is foldably connected and one of the doors is openably and closably attached to the cabinet body so that each opening is closed.
However, in each case, when each opening is closed, a gap (4) is formed between the adjoining end faces of the two doors that are in contact with each other at a right angle. That is, it is unsanitary because there is a gap that cannot be sealed at the front edge corners of the top plate (5) and the bottom plate (6) of the cabinet body, and there is room for dust and insects to enter. Further, since the door used in this type of cabinet always has an error in the mounting position in the left-right direction, the size of the above-mentioned gap is not the same, and there is a problem that it is conspicuous.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the conventional corner cabinet as described above, the present invention presents a gap which cannot be hermetically sealed and which is inevitably formed at the front edge of the top plate and the bottom plate of the main body. Well, and there is no problem in opening and closing the door,
Moreover, even if there is some error in the mounting position of the door in the left-right direction, the door should be sealed when closed.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the horizontal cross-section of the main body is substantially L-shaped, and an opening surface orthogonal to the corner of the main body is formed.
A corner cabinet that can open and close the doors that close and open each opening face, is made of a material with both great flexibility and elasticity, and fits the front end face of at least one of the top plate and bottom plate of the cabinet body. When the door is in the closed position, by attaching an obturator consisting of a mounting part to be installed and a fin-shaped closing part that extends horizontally from the mounting part and has a thin tip at the front end, The fin-shaped closing part is forcibly bent inward by the door.

[0005]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
When the door is closed, the upper and lower free ends of the door bend the fin-shaped closing part of the obturator in contact with it, and the fin-shaped closing part is pressed against the door by its own elasticity. Become. Therefore, the gap is in a sealed state, and at the same time, the door's mouth surface (end surface at the free end) is captured at that position by the elasticity of the fin-shaped closing portion, and the opening of the main body is securely held by the so-called catching effect. Seal tightly.

2 is an oblique side view as seen in the direction of arrow III in FIG.
-IV is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line V-V in FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 shows the obturator shown in FIGS. Alternatively, FIG. 6 is a front view of the bottom plate (6) attached to the front end face of the entering corner.
7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII, and FIG. 8 is a view when the end surface of the free end of the door is in pressure contact with the obturator from the state of FIG. 7. 9 to 11 are perspective views of a corner cabinet belonging to a conventional type to which the present invention can be applied.

The obturator (11) is integrally formed from a material having a particularly large flexibility and elasticity, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or synthetic resin as a main material, and the obturator front end surface (16) ) And the mounting part (12) that is curved and has the mounting hole (13), and the fins that extend horizontally from the top and bottom of the mounting part (12) and become thinner toward the tip. A closed block (14). Of course, the upper and lower fin-shaped obturators described above
As for (11), there is no problem even if only one side is used.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the obturator (11) is provided with a front end face of an upper corner of the upper plate (5) or the bottom plate (6).
It is attached firmly to the (16) with, for example, a wood screw (15). In this state, when the door (3) is closed,
As shown in Fig. 8, the door (3) is in close contact with the right end surface (8) of the top plate (5) or the bottom plate (6), and at the same time, as shown in Fig.
The door (3) pushes the fin-shaped closing part (14) inward as shown in FIG. As a result, the end facet (10) of the door (3) is lightly trapped in that position (so-called catching effect) due to the elasticity of the fin-shaped closing part (14), and is reliably sealed.
After that, when the door (2) is closed, this also comes into close contact with the left end face (7) of the top plate (5) or the bottom plate (6), and at the same time, the door (2) has the fin-shaped closing part (14) inside. Bend to.

In this case, due to a door mounting error, when the door end face of the door is within the range shown in FIG. 8 (C), the fin-like closing portion (14) comes into close contact, so that the gap shown in FIG. (4) is completely closed.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made as necessary within the scope of the invention.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the door is conventionally closed, the gap which is inevitably formed above and below the door has the free end of the door inside the fin-shaped closing portion of the obturator in contact therewith. Since it is pressed and bent, the fin-shaped closing part is pressed against the door due to its own elasticity. Therefore, the gap is in a sealed state, and at the same time, the door has a so-called catching effect in which the mouth end surface (end surface of the free end) is captured at that position by the elasticity of the fin-shaped closing portion, so that the opening portion of the main body is surely secured. It is possible to prevent dust and insects from invading by sealing it well. Moreover, opening and closing of the door does not cause any trouble, and even if the door has some mounting error in the left-right direction, the effect does not change.
