Abstract

PURPOSE: To secure the positional accuracy between two constituting members, by rotating the first and the second fitting bars along the respective longitudinal direction as a unit at a uniform rotary angle. CONSTITUTION: When a motor 16 is driven in a state that a pair of doors are closed, the rotational movement is transmitted to a sprocket 17 through a chain 19 and two hinges 8 are moved in mutually reverse directions around the first fitting bar 9 to open the door. And it is stopped at a specified position. Since a pair of doors 7 are horizontally moved at two points of the first fitting bar 9 and a protrusion 11 as fulcrums, the transferred track can be shifted to the rear plate 2 side as much as possible and the pin moves along the guide groove on opening/closing the door. And hence, the transferred track of the free end side of doors can be more securely regulated. Since the first fitting bar 9 and the protrusion 11 are rotated as a unit respectively, the rotary angle is uniform at any longitudinal position and hence, the vertical positional accuracy of a pair of side plates 6 and a pair of doors 7 can be secured to keep both erected states well.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hinge and furniture with hinges which can prevent the constituent members from coming into contact with surrounding objects when the constituent members are opened and closed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a Buddhist altar (furniture) is provided with a kitchen and shelves, in which the tiles and sari are stored, and on the shelves, Buddhist ware (objects) such as vases and lamps are placed. A door (constituent member) is provided at the opening of the kitchen via a hinge, and this hinge prevents the door from coming into contact with the Buddhist ware when the door is opened and closed.

FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of the conventional altar A, and FIG. 8 is a plan sectional view of the altar A. Buddhist altar A is a pair of side plates 10
0, a large door 101 attached to the pair of side plates 100 via a hinge (not shown), a top plate 102 provided on the pair of side plates 100, and a spine provided between the pair of side plates 100. It has a board 103, and a kitchen B and a shelf C are provided inside the Buddhist altar A.

The kitchen B is a pair of side plates (one component member) 1
04 and a kitchen door (the other constituent member) 105, and the pair of side plates 104 and the kitchen door 105 are connected by a plurality of hinges 106. The plurality of hinges 106 are provided at different heights, and the first component plate 107 fixed to the pair of side plates 104.
And a second component plate 108 fixed to the pair of kitchen doors 105

However, in the prior art, since a plurality of hinges 106 can be operated separately, the rotation angles thereof are different, and the positioning accuracy in the height direction between the pair of side plates 104 and the pair of kitchen doors 105 is high. However, there is a problem in that it causes deterioration of the installation.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to prevent the constituent members from coming into contact with surrounding objects, and, of course, one constituent member (furniture body) and the other constituent member (door). It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge and furniture with a hinge that can secure positioning accuracy in the height direction.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 has a first mounting rod vertically attached to one component member, and vertically attached to the other component member, and A second mounting rod parallel to the first mounting rod;
A connecting rod connecting the first mounting rod and the second mounting rod, wherein the first mounting rod is rotatably held along the longitudinal direction about an axis, and the second mounting rod is a shaft. It is held rotatably around its center along its longitudinal direction.

The invention according to claim 2 is the first parallel to each other.
A hinge formed by connecting the mounting rod and the second mounting rod with a connecting rod,
A furniture main body to which the first mounting rod is attached vertically, a door to which the second mounting rod is attached to longitudinally, and a first main body which holds the first mounting rod rotatably about an axis along the longitudinal direction. It has a holding portion and a second holding portion that holds the second mounting rod rotatably around the longitudinal center axis along the longitudinal direction.

The invention according to claim 3 has a drive motor for rotating and stopping the first mounting rod of the invention according to claim 2. The invention according to claim 4 has a restricting means for restricting the movement locus on the free end side when the door of the invention according to claim 2 or claim 3 is opened and closed.

[0011]

In the invention according to claim 1, since the rotation angle of the first mounting rod and the second mounting rod is uniform at any position in the longitudinal direction, the height of one constituent member and the other constituent member is high. The positioning accuracy in the direction can be secured.

In the invention according to claim 2, since the rotation angle of the first mounting rod and the second mounting rod is uniform at any position in the longitudinal direction, the positioning accuracy in the height direction between the furniture main body and the door is improved. Can be secured.

The invention according to claim 3 has the same operation as the invention according to claim 2, and can automatically open and close the door.
The invention according to claim 4 has the same effect as that of the invention according to claim 2 or claim 3, and can more reliably regulate the movement locus of the door that opens and closes on the free end side.
