Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a shoe table having a split top plate, and provides a practical configuration that improves operability and is easy to use.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional locking mechanism includes two left and right stopper levers 22, one end of which is rotatably supported via a locking tool 23 near the peripheral edge of the back surface of a split top plate 21. The other end is provided so that it can be rotated downward by its own weight.

A locking portion 24 is provided at the other end, and when the split top plate 21 is slid open, the locking portion 24 engages with the curtain plate 25.
It falls into the groove part 26 under its own weight and fits.

When sliding the split top plate 21 to close it, rotate the left and right stopper levers 22 upward with your fingers, release the engagement between the locking part 24 and the groove part 26, and then close the split top plate 21. Push it toward the center.

In such a conventional example, the position of the stopper lever 22 cannot be seen from the top surface of the table, and it is necessary to search for the stopper lever 22 by hand, making it difficult to handle.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks of the conventional example, and embodiments thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 3, 1 is a table frame, 2 is a leg, and 3 is a pair of split top plates placed on the top of the table frame 1, which are slidable in the direction of arrow A.

The so-called opened state by sliding the split top plate 3 is as shown in FIG. 4, where 4 is a stove unit, 5 is a plate-shaped tray provided on both sides of this stove unit 40,
These stove unit 4 and tray 5 are covered with a split top plate 3 as shown in Fig. 3 when not in use.
When it is slid, it is exposed to the outside as shown in Figure 4 and can be used for cooking.

The slide mechanism of the split top plate 3 will be explained in more detail as shown in FIG.
The front and rear curtain plates 7 are connected, and a beam 8 is installed between the front and rear curtain plates 7.
It is configured by attaching.

The stove unit 4 and the tray 5 are fixed approximately at the center of this beam 8.

A slide member 9 is attached to the upper surface of the beam 8, and a rail 1 guided by this slide member 9 is attached to the back surface of the split top plate 3.
0 is attached and can be slid freely.

Next, the stopper mechanism will be explained.

A pair of connecting rods 11 are provided on the back side of the split top plate 3 at positions parallel to the rail 10 and close to the curtain plates 6 on both sides, and one end of the connecting rods 11 passes through the through hole 12 of the curtain plate 7. The two connecting rods 11 are connected by an operating lever 13 and are arranged relatively close to and parallel to the curtain plates 7 on the front and rear sides.

The other end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to one end of a stopper lever 14.

The stopper lever 14 is rotatably supported at its center, and has a locking portion 15 at the other end.
A spring 16 is placed in tension near the latches to constantly bias the locking portion 15 in the direction of contacting the curtain plates 6 on both sides.

The curtain plates 6 on both sides are provided with locking grooves 17 and 18, and the locking portion 1 of the stopper lever 14 is inserted into the locking grooves 17 and 18.
5 is inserted to lock the divided top plate 3.

One of the locking grooves 17 is for closing the split top plate 3 to regulate its position when not cooking, and the other locking groove 18
The split top plate 3 is so-called opened to regulate its position during cooking, and it is provided at a position suitable for these.

When the operating lever 13 is not operated, the locking portion 15 of the stopper lever 14 is fitted into either of the locking grooves 17 and 18 due to the urging force of the spring 16.
Movement of the divided top plate 3 is prevented.

To move the split top plate 3, put your finger on the operating lever 13,
When operated against the spring 16, the stopper lever 14
rotates from the dotted line to the solid line position in FIG. 7, and the locking portion 15 disengages from the locking grooves 17 and 18 to release the lock.

The operating lever 13 should be positioned so that it does not interfere with placing your finger on it.
As shown in Figure 8, ensure a sufficient distance from the curtain plate 7,
In addition, in order to ensure the stroke necessary for unlocking the stopper lever 14, there is a gap E between the inner surface of the edge of the split top plate 3.
Create.

The operating lever 13 is bridged to a pair of connecting rods 11 provided near both sides of the back surface of the split top plate 3, and is located along the curtain plate 7 almost across the top of the split top plate 3. If you put your hand on the back side of 3, you can easily check its position.

In the embodiment, the stopper lever 14 is removed when the split top plate 3 is in the closed position and moved in the direction of the arrow to open it. Since the locking portion 15 slides on the inner surface of the curtain plate 6 and is constantly biased by the spring 16, it automatically fits into the locking groove 18 in the open position and is regulated in position.

The same procedure may be used when closing.

The number of locking grooves 17, 1B is not limited to two, and the number of locking grooves 17, 1B may be increased to set the open state of the divided top plate 3 in stages.

As described above, according to the present invention, the position of the split top plate is reliably regulated, and since the operating lever is provided almost over the edge of the back surface of the split top plate, the operating lever cannot be seen from the top surface of the table. The finger position can be freely adjusted, making it extremely easy to operate, and this type of shoe king table with a split top plays a major role in increasing the product value.
