Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for sealing a gap between a back guard of kitchen furniture and a wall surface.

Conventionally, a drain cover was attached to the wall side as a mechanism to prevent water leakage between the back guard of kitchen furniture installed along the wall and the wall, and this drain cover covered the upper part of the back guard. Alternatively, a structure was used in which a sealing pad was glued to the upper edge of the back guard and the upper edge was pressed against the wall surface.

However, when using the former structure, construction work is required to fix the draining cover to the wall of the building at the construction site, and when using the latter structure, the sealing pad must be precisely glued in place on the upper edge of the back guard. The problem is that the work requires skill, and that water leaks may occur after installation due to peeling of the seal gasket or poor adhesion.

This proposal solves the above problem by placing a cap on the upper edge of the back guard, locking the seal packing on the upper edge of the cap, and pressing the tip of the seal against the wall surface, so that the wall surface and the back guard can be connected to each other. The feature is that the space between the two is sealed.

FIG. 1 shows kitchen furniture to which the present device is applied. The kitchen furniture includes a cabinet 1, a top plate 2 fixed to the top surface of the cabinet 1, and a back guard 3 combined with the top plate 2, either integrally or separately. It consists of.

The main idea is to place the cap 4 along the upper edge of this back guard 3.
An elastic seal gasket 6 is held in a fitting groove 5 provided on the upper edge of the cap 4, and the upper edge of the gasket 6 is brought into pressure contact with a wall surface to effect sealing.

Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the cap 4 that can be applied to ordinary kitchen furniture.

That is, the cap 4 has a curved surface 7 on the lower surface of its main body 8 that follows the shape of the upper edge of the back guard 3, and a fitting groove 5 opened on the back surface as a locking part for locking the gasket 6 on the rear upper edge. The fitting groove 5 is open at both ends of the cap 4, and the lower edge of the main body 8 has a locking groove opened at the front into which a protrusion provided on a shelf or container is fitted. 9 is provided, and an insertion edge 10 is further provided downward from the fitting groove 5 and is integrally molded from aluminum synthetic resin or other material.

The packing 6 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and the fitting groove 5
It consists of an engaging part 6A that is locked inside and a hollow pressure contact part 6B that is brought into pressure contact with the wall surface.The pressure contact part 6B of this packing 6 is inserted into the fitting groove 5.

FIG. 3A 90 shows an example in which the above-mentioned cap 4 is applied to a back guard of conventional kitchen furniture.

That is, the curved surface 7 formed on the lower surface of the main body of the cap 4 is aligned with the upper end joint of the back guard 3, and the cap 4 is placed over the back guard 3.

In addition, if the wall surface on which the kitchen furniture is installed is uneven and the back guard cannot be placed along the wall surface W accurately, as shown in the opening in Figure 3, attach a backing plate 11 to the surface of the wall surface W. etc., and align the back surface of the back guard 3 with this backing plate 11 as a reference.
The insertion edge 10 provided on the backing plate 11 is inserted from above into the slit 11A opened at the upper edge of the backing plate 11 and set in a fixed position, and the pressure contact portion 6B of the gasket 6 is pressed against the wall surface W.

By press-fitting the gasket 6 to the wall surface, the hollow pressure contact portion 6B is flattened and the gap between the wall surface W and the back guard 3 is sealed.

Furthermore, if necessary, a flange F provided on a shelf board or container (2) is inserted into the latching groove 9 provided on the cap 4, and is installed in front of the back guard 3.

In the above embodiments, only a cap is fitted to the upper edge of a normal back guard.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the fitting groove 5 provided on the upper edge of the cap 4 is shifted downward and integrally molded, and the upper edge and a part of the front side of the back guard 3 are provided with a stepped portion along the shape of the cap 4. By forming 13A and 13B, the cap 4 can be stably installed on the back guard 3.

It is not necessarily necessary to provide the cap with a hook groove for installing shelves, and the lower edge of the cap 4 may be fitted into the stepped portion 13A formed on the front surface of the back guard 3, as shown in FIG. , the surface of the cap 4 may be continuous with the surface of the back guard 3 in substantially the same plane, and as shown in FIG. It may be provided on a part of the front side of the back guard 3.

FIG. 7 shows yet another embodiment of the cap.

In this embodiment, a curved surface 16 that follows the shape of the back guard is provided on the lower surface of a fitting edge 15 that extends over the upper edge of the back guard, and a hollow rising portion 17 that extends upward from the fitting edge 15 is formed. An example is shown in which a fitting groove 18 for fitting the seal packing 6 as a locking portion is provided on the back surface of the rising portion 17 and is integrally molded from aluminum, synthetic resin, or other material.

As shown in FIG. 8, the fitting edge 15 of the cap 4 is fitted into the stepped portions 19 and 20 formed at the front and rear of the back guard 3, and the curved surface 16 is aligned with the upper edge of the back guard 3. The rear piece of the fitting edge 15 serving as the insertion edge is inserted into the gap formed between the back guard 3 and the wall surface, and the pressure contact portion 6B of the seal packing 6 is fitted into the fitting groove 18.
is crimped and installed on the wall W of the building.

Note that, if necessary, a projecting edge 22 serving as a shelf board or a shelf support may be integrally provided in the horizontal direction from the rising portion 17.

Furthermore, if the wall surface has irregularities, it is of course possible to use a backing plate and attach it to the surface as in the previous embodiment.

FIG. 9 shows a locking groove 21 for attaching shelves to the front of the rising portion 17 of the cap 4, and a locking protrusion 23 standing upwardly on the rear upper edge of the cap 4 as a locking portion for the seal packing. It was established.

In this embodiment, a seal packing 24 is attached to this locking protrusion 23.
The seal gasket 24 is fitted into a concave groove at the lower end thereof, and the leading edge of the seal gasket 24 is pressed against the wall surface W to effect sealing.

When using a cap with this structure, for example, the 10th
As shown in the figure, a cap 4 is attached to the upper edge of the back guard 3, and the locking protrusion 23 is used to install a shelf for small items, aluminum foil, lighting equipment, a knife holder, a dish towel hook, an outlet, switches, etc. Fit the recessed part of the lower edge of the mounting plate 26 provided with the latching groove 25, insert tiles, decorative panels 27, etc. into the four parts provided on the upper edge of the mounting plate 26, and connect these members upward continuously. They can also be installed on a wall in combination.

According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 above, since the cap has a rising portion of a certain height, the original height of the back guard can be kept low, and when transporting kitchen furniture. In addition, the height of the kitchen furniture is reduced by the height of the rising part of the cap, making transportation and handling convenient.

In particular, even if the height of the transported object is regulated by the Road Traffic Act, the height of the kitchen furniture is low, so there is no violation of the Road Traffic Act during transportation, and the cap can be attached to the back guard at the construction site. By matching them together, it can be assembled into kitchen furniture of a specified height.

As described above, this project combines a cap with the back guard of kitchen furniture and attaches a sealing pad to this cap, so it can be easily installed at the construction site by simply combining parts. Part of the cap can be used to install shelves, containers, and other utensils, and by integrally molding shelf boards, shelf supports, etc., as shown in Figure 8, on the cap itself, it can be used for a variety of purposes. .

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is easy to assemble and work, and it is also possible to completely seal between the wall surface and the back guard of the kitchen furniture.
