Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention makes it possible to open and close doors and drawers of cabinets, desks, shelves and the like, and does not open even if an external force such as an earthquake is applied except for the opening operation of an operator. And a handle provided with a lock mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a mechanism provided with a mechanism for preventing a door, drawer or the like of a cabinet, a desk, a shelf or the like from being opened carelessly during use. In this mechanism, for example, a magnet is attached to the opening and closing door and a portion corresponding to the opening and closing door of the cabinet body. When the opening and closing door is closed, the opening and closing door and the cabinet are magnetically attached by the force of the magnet. . Therefore, the opening / closing door does not open even if it receives a slight impact due to the magnetic force. When the door is strongly pulled, the magnetism between the cabinet and the door is released, and the door can be easily opened.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, when a strong earthquake or the like occurs, the cabinet rolls over, or the stored items of the cabinet move and strongly hit the opening / closing door, thereby causing a strong impact. When it was received, the force of the magnet alone was not enough to withstand this impact, and the door would open and the stored items would pop out of the cabinet. Therefore, if you attach a magnet with strong magnetic force,
While the door is not easily opened during use, it is difficult to open it manually. Alternatively, if measures such as attaching an external key to the door are improved, the impact resistance is improved, and the door is not easily opened, but the labor and cost for installing the external key are required. . Also,
Opening and closing the door requires time and effort such as attaching and detaching an external key.

In another conventional example, a handle having a hook protruding is provided on an opening / closing door. By rotating the hook in the circumferential direction while holding the handle, the hook slides in the direction of the opening and closing door, and the protrusion of the hook can be stored in the opening and closing door. When the door is closed, the hook protrudes out of the door, and this projection engages a strike provided on the cabinet side. The engagement between the hook and strike ensures that the door is locked, so even if a strong impact is applied to the door from inside the cabinet, the door is open as long as the hook is not broken or the strike is broken. I have nothing to do.

When the door is opened, the handle is first held and rotated in the circumferential direction. When the hook is retracted into the door and comes off the strike, the door is unlocked. By pulling the handle in the opening direction with this lock released, the opening / closing door can be opened.

However, in the above-described embodiment, the operation of rotating the handle and the operation of pulling the handle are required to open the door.
The opening and closing door opens. Therefore, opening and closing the door requires two steps of operation.When a large amount of luggage is held in both hands, the pulling operation is possible, but it is difficult to rotate the handle. Was.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides:
By only pulling the handle in the opening direction of the door, the door can be unlocked and opened at the same time, so that the door, drawer, etc. of cabinets, desks, shelves, etc. can be easily opened and closed. Things. In addition, by providing a lock mechanism on the handle, even when a strong impact is applied in the opening direction of the door or drawer, the door is not easily opened.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a hook is slidably inserted into a case body fixed to an opening / closing door, and one end of the hook is pressed by an urging force of a pressing spring. And projecting outward from the case body to enable engagement with a strike fixed to a corresponding portion corresponding to the opening / closing door, and an engaging projection projecting from a side surface of the hook in a direction intersecting the biasing direction. The projection is connected to the knob for holding, and engages with the engagement taper surface of the fork end slidable in a direction intersecting with the sliding direction of the hook in the case main body. According to the engagement taper surface,
The hook slides against the restoring force of the pressing projection through the engagement projection, and one end of the hook is slidable in the case body.

[0009]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the hook protrudes outward from the case body by the urging force of the pressing bar when the door is closed. The projecting portion of the hook is engaged with a strike fixed to a corresponding portion of the cabinet or the like corresponding to the door, whereby the door is locked. And even if the cabinet rolls over due to an earthquake or the like, or a stored item collides, and a strong impact is applied to the opening direction of the door, this impact is a force applied in a direction intersecting the sliding direction of the hook. The hook does not slide inside the case body, the hook strongly strikes the strike, and the engagement is not released. And
Unless the impact is strong and the hook breaks or the strike is broken, the door does not open carelessly.

In order to open the door, the knob of the handle is held by hand and pulled toward the user. Then, the fork end connected to the knob slides in the case body in the pulling direction. Due to this sliding, the engagement taper surface of the fork end relatively slides inside the case body in a direction intersecting the sliding direction of the fork end. With the sliding of the engagement taper surface, the hook engaged with the engagement taper surface via the engagement protrusion is pressed in the case body inner direction. Due to this pressing force, the hook slides while resisting the urging force of the pressing streak, and the hook is stored inside the case body.

By this storage, the engagement between the hook and the strike is released, so that the lock of the opening / closing door is released.
Then, by continuing the operation of pulling the knob after releasing the lock, the opening / closing door can be opened. As described above, the unlocking operation and the opening operation of the opening / closing door can be simultaneously performed only by the operation of pulling the knob of the handle, so that the operation can be omitted and the operation can be easily performed.

When the handle is released after the opening of the door, the hook slides outwardly of the case body due to the urging force of the pressing bar, and projects again from the case body. As the hook slides, the engagement protrusion also slides outward from the case body, so that the engagement taper surface of the fork end engaged with the engagement protrusion is pressed by the engagement protrusion, and the fork end is placed inside the case body. Slide back to the original position. In addition, the knob connected to the fork end is automatically restored to the original position.

When closing the opening / closing door, holding the knob of the handle and pressing it in the closing direction causes the hook projecting from the case body to strike the outer surface of the strike. If the surface of the hook that is in contact with the outer surface of the strike is formed in a tapered shape, the tapered surface is pressed against the outer surface of the strike as the pinch is pressed, and the hook is pressed against the urging force of the pressing spring. Sliding toward the inside of the main unit. Therefore, since the hook and the strike are released, the opening / closing door can be closed.
Since the hook again projects outside the case body and engages with the strike, the door is locked again.

The hook (5) moves in the sliding direction.
A pressing ridge (11) is interposed at a distance from the case body (3), and one end of the hook (5) is normally moved in the sliding direction from the case body (3) by the urging force of the pressing ridge (11). It protrudes outward. The interposition of the pressing bar (11) is interposed between the concave portion (12) at one end of the hook (5) and the corresponding projection (13) of the mounting chamber (4), and the pressing bar (5) is inserted. One end of (11) is inserted into the recess (12) and the other end is engaged with the projection (13), so that the pressing bar (11) does not come off during use.

When the door (1) is closed, the projecting portion of the hook (5) is engaged with the strike (15) fixed to the cabinet body (14). Then, at the projecting portion of the hook (5), the surface of the opening / closing door (1) in the opening direction is
Form a flat shape to form the locking contact part (16), and strike
(15) can be engaged. Further, the projecting portion of the hook (5) forms a tapered inclined surface (17) on the back surface side of the locking contact portion (16).

The hook (5) has engaging projections (6) projecting from both sides thereof in a direction intersecting the sliding direction.
(6) is engaged with the engagement tapered surface (18) of the fork end (7). In order to perform this engagement, first, the pressing spring (1)
The hook (5) is pushed down to the end of the mounting chamber (4) in the case body (3) against the biasing force of (1). Thereafter, the fork end (7) is vertically inserted into the mounting chamber (4) from the upper surface of the case body (3). In this state, the position of the engagement protrusion (6) is arranged so as not to hinder insertion of the fork end (7) into the case body (3).

When the hook (5) is released,
The hook (5) slides outward of the case body (3) by the pressing ridge (11), and the engaging projection (6) of the hook (5) engages with the engaging taper surface (18) of the fork end (7). ). As a result, the hook (5) and the fork end (7) are engaged, and the fork end (7) can slide in a direction intersecting the sliding direction of the hook (5).

However, in the above state, when the hook (5) slides to the end point of the mounting chamber (4), the fork end (7) comes off easily. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the slidable range of the hook (5) in the mounting chamber (4) is limited by attaching the adjusting screw (19) to the case body (3). When the hook (5) slides toward the inside of the mounting chamber (4), as shown in FIG. 3, the hook (5) hits the adjusting screw (19) and does not slide to the end point of the mounting chamber (4). The fork end (7) does not come off easily. A plate-like guide (21) is provided above the hook (5) of the case body (3).
(7) serves to prevent deflection when sliding, and also prevents the hook (5) from moving toward the fork end (7).

Then, the hook (5) of the fork end (7)
A pinch (9) is connected to one end on the opposite side from the other through a joint lot (8). The knob (9) and the joint lot (8) are integrally and operably bonded and fixed. To connect the joint lot (8) to the fork end (7), an annular recess (22) is provided at one end of the joint lot (8) as shown in FIG.
This is performed by providing an engagement groove (23) in (7) and engaging the annular concave portion (22) with this engagement groove (23). Therefore, hook (5)
When the knob (9) is pulled in a direction intersecting the sliding direction of the fork end (7), the fork end (7) becomes slidable. Also, the joint lot (8) is inserted through a face plate (24) for fixing the handle (2) to the opening / closing door (1), and the face plate (24)
The joint lot (8) can move in and out.

To attach the handle (2) to the opening / closing door (1), a long fixing screw inserted between the face plate (24) and the case body (3) from the case body (3) side. (Not shown), it is fixed to the opening and closing door (1) by being connected via a mounting opening (25) provided in the opening and closing door (1). In addition, a fixed flange part is provided on the door (1) side of the case body (3).

Are connected by a fixing screw (not shown) inserted from the case body (3) side, whereby the handle (2) can be more stably fixed to the opening / closing door (1).

Since the handle (2) is attached to the opening and closing door (1) as described above, when the opening and closing door (1) is closed, as shown in FIG. Due to the biasing force of (3), the housing protrudes outward from the case body (3) and is engaged with the strike (15) of the cabinet body (14). Then, the hooking contact portion (16) of the hook (5) is moved to the strike (15).
, The door (1) is locked, so that even if a force acts in the opening direction of the door (1), the door (1) is locked.
Will not be released. The fork end (7) engaged with the engaging projection (6) of the hook (5) is connected to the case body.
It is arranged in contact with the lower end of the mounting part (4) of (3).

Then, due to an earthquake or the like, the cabinet body
When (14) rolls over or the stored object collides with the door (1), a strong impact is applied in the opening direction of the door (1). Since this impact acts in a direction crossing the sliding direction of the hook (5), the locking contact portion (16) of the hook (5) strikes.
(15), but the hook (5) is the case body

Then, to open the door (1), the knob
Hold (9) and pull in the opening direction. Then, the fork end (7) engaged with the knob (9) via the joint lot (8) slides inside the case body (3) in the opening direction. The sliding of the fork end (7) causes the engagement taper surface (18) to press the engagement protrusion (6) of the hook (5).
By this pressing, the hook (5) slides inward of the case body (3) against the urging force of the pressing ridge (11),
As shown in FIG. 3, the tip of (5) is a mounting room for the case body (3).
Stored in (4). Therefore, hook (5) and strike
Since the engagement with (15) is released, the lock of the door (1) is released. Then, with the lock released, the knob
By further pulling (9), the door (1) can be opened.

As described above, the opening and closing operations of the opening and closing door (1) can be performed only by pulling the knob (9) of the handle (2), and after the handle (2) is rotated. It becomes possible to open the opening / closing door (1) with less operation than in the conventional example of pulling. Therefore, even when a large amount of luggage is held in both hands, the opening / closing door (1) can be easily opened.

When the opening / closing door (1) is opened, the hook (5) is urged by the urging force (11) so that the mounting chamber (4) is opened.
It slides inside and projects outside the case body (3) to restore. When the hook (5) is restored, the engagement taper surface (18) of the fork end (7) is pressed by the engagement protrusion (6), so that the fork end (7) is also attached to the case body (3). Slide inward to restore it to its original position.

To close the door (1), the knob
Hold (9) and press in the closing direction. Then the hook
Since (5) projects outside the case body (3), the inclined surface (17) of the hook (5) abuts against the outer surface of the strike (15). The inclined surface (17) is formed in a tapered shape, and the hook (5) is slidable in the inner direction of the case body (3).
As shown in FIG. 4, the outer surface of the strike (15) has an inclined surface (1).
