Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a synthetic resin drawer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a synthetic resin drawer has a structure as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-315420, and as shown in FIG.
Is integrally formed by injection molding or the like, and a front plate 200 serving as a decorative plate having both decorativeness and a handle is formed on the front wall 11 of the main body 100.
The front plate 200 is fixed by inserting a screw from the inside into the screw hole 120 provided in the No. 0.

[0003]

However, in the drawer having the structure described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-315420, the screw heads for fixing the front plate 200 are preferably protruded inside the front wall. The cover that hides this screw head can be installed later because it does not exist. However, there is a problem in that this cover loosens and comes off while the drawer is in use, or there is no choice but to use the cover with the screw exposed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to solve these problems and to fix the front plate with a screw head of a front wall. It is intended to provide a drawer provided with a cover which is neither exposed to the inside nor comes off.

[0005]

In the drawer of the present invention, a recess is formed inside the front wall of the drawer formed in a box shape by the front and rear walls and both side walls facing each other.
Further, a cover for covering the recess by rotation is provided integrally with the front wall, and the front plate is fixed by a screw penetrating from the recess side.

[0006]

In the drawer of the present invention, the front plate is fixed by the screw penetrating the recess formed inside the front wall, and the cover integrally provided on the front wall is rotated to cover the recess. The screw head is not exposed, and since the cover is integrated with the front wall, it is not lost like the conventional screw cover of the drawer.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part showing an example of a drawer of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.
1 and 2, a drawer 10 of the present invention is integrally molded by injection molding using a synthetic resin or the like, and has a front wall 11, a rear wall (not shown) and both side walls 12, 1 facing each other.
And 2 form a bottomed box.

Inside the front wall 11, a recess 1 is formed in the vertical direction.
3 is formed, and an L-shaped cover 14 is provided on the upper end of the recess 13 so as to cover the recess 13 by pivoting inward and is integrally formed by projecting outward. The connecting portion between the cover 14 and the front wall 11 is formed with an extremely thin hinge 14a, which is formed by utilizing the bending strength characteristic of synthetic resin.

On the front surface of the front wall 11, a front plate (not shown) having an appearance design stretched over the entire surface of the front wall 11 and a function of a handle is attached. That is, the bottom surface side of the recess 13 is provided with screw holes 13a, 13a through which the screws for fixing the front plate are passed.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an essential part showing an assembling mode of the drawer of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the front plate 20 is
The front surface of the front wall 11 is abutted from the outer side, and is screwed and fixed by the screws 15 and 15 penetrating the screw holes 13a and 13a of the inner concave portion 13. When the front plate 20 is fixed, the cover 14 is rotated inwardly by 180 ° so that the recess 13 is covered, and the inner surface of the front wall is finished to be flush with almost no unevenness.

Therefore, the heads of the screws 15 and 15 are not completely housed in the recess 13 and exposed to the outside, and the cover 14 is integrated with the front wall 11 and the hinge 14a. , It doesn't get lost like the screw cover of the conventional drawer.

The length of the concave portion 13 provided in the drawer 10 of the present invention does not necessarily have to be from the upper end to the bottom surface, and may be halfway as long as the length required for screw fixing is secured. The number of recesses 13 may be appropriately increased or decreased depending on the width of the front wall 11.

The number of screw holes 13a provided in the recess 13 is preferably at least two in order to fix the front plate 20 in a stable state.

The location of the hinge 14a that rotatably and integrally connects the cover 14 to the front wall 11 is not limited to the outside of the upper end of the front wall 11 but to the inside of the upper end of the front wall. Alternatively, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment as long as it can be located below the front wall 11 or at a position on the way and can surely cover the recess 13 by turning.

Further, the method of fixing the cover to the concave portion 13 after the rotation can be fixed by a locking portion using an undercut, but is not limited as long as it is a mechanism which does not easily come off.

As an example of the drawer of the present invention, the width (width of the front wall) is 450 mm and the depth (side wall length) is 400 m.
m, height 80 mm size is molded by injection molding,
A recess having a width of 15 mm was provided over the top and bottom of the front wall, and at the same time, the cover was integrally formed by hinge connection. The hinge rotation of 180 ° was repeated 1000 times, but no abnormality was found.

[0017]

In the drawer of the present invention, the front plate is fixed by the screw penetrating from the concave portion formed inside the front wall, and the cover integrally provided on the front wall is rotated to open the concave portion. As it covers, the screw head is not exposed,
Moreover, since the cover is integrated with the front wall, it is not lost like the conventional screw cover of the drawer.
Further, since the cover is formed integrally with the main body, it is not necessary to separately prepare a separate component as in the conventional case, and it is possible to reduce the cost. Therefore, it is preferably used as a drawer.
