Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to furniture such as storage furniture and sink cabinets installed in kitchens, dining rooms, food storage rooms, etc.

Conventional Structures and Problems Generally, this type of furniture is easily invaded by pests such as cockroaches, so insect traps are used, or insect-proof seals are provided at the abutting portions of the openings and doors. Since the insect trap is placed in the path of pests, although it is somewhat effective, it cannot prevent all pests from invading the furniture. In addition, those using seals may leave small gaps due to deterioration over time, and on the other hand, cockroaches and the like can invade even if there is only one gap, so it cannot be said to be a complete insect repellent means.

By the way, as an insect repellent device, one shown in FIG. 1 is known. This insect repellent device has an insulating base material 1 and a space 2 on the top surface of the insulating base material 1.
It consists of a pair of electrode strips 3, 4 arranged in parallel with each other, and a dry battery that applies a voltage of about 10 to 30 ports to the electrodes 3.4.

It is known that insects such as cockroaches receive severe electric shocks when a voltage of about 10 volts is applied between their legs. Now, when the insect 6 tries to climb the wall and its legs cross the interval 2 and touch the electrode strips 3 and 4,
A voltage is applied to the insect 6, and the insect 6 receives a severe electric shock and falls downward as if flying. For this reason, the insects 5 cannot advance beyond the insect control device, and therefore, such a device can prevent the invasion of insect pests.

The present inventors have considered combining the electric shock type insect repellent device with furniture.

By the way, when a pair of electrode strips 3 and 4 are installed on furniture, if a pot or the like that is being handled hits and damages the electrode strips 3 and 4, or if the pot or the like is made of metal, the electrode strips 3 and 4 may be damaged. There was a problem with short circuits.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a furniture fitting with an insect repellent device that prevents short-circuiting of electrode bands and also prevents damage to the electrodes due to pots and the like.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the furniture with an insect repellent device of the present invention includes a box for storing tableware, etc., a stand provided at the bottom of the box, and a predetermined space around the stand. It consists of a pair of electrode strips arranged substantially parallel to each other, and a power supply device that applies a low voltage between the electrode strips, so that when dishes, etc. are stored in the box, the dishes, etc. do not hit the electrodes. This eliminates the need for electricity to be wasted due to damage to the electrodes or short circuits.

Description of examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a box body for storing tableware, etc., and a base part 7 is provided at the lower part of the box body, and a door 8 is provided at the front opening of the box body so as to be openable and closable. Further, a pair of electrode bands 9°1o are provided around the base 7 at a predetermined interval, and a voltage of about 2o volts is applied to the electrode bands 9, 10 by a power supply 11. There is.

According to this configuration, pests 12 such as cockroaches try to climb up the platform 7 and enter the box body 6, but the electrode bands 9, 1
When the pest 12 touches both sides of O, electricity flows through the pest 12's body and it receives a severe shock, causing it to jump and fall downward.

Therefore, the pests 12 cannot advance beyond the electrode bands 9 and 10.

In addition, since the electrode bands 9 and 10 are not provided on the box body 6 but on the stand 7, there is no possibility that the dishes or the like will collide with each other when putting in or taking out dishes, etc., and the electrode bands 9 and 10 will not be damaged. It disappears.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIGS. 4 and 3. Note that the same members as in FIG. 2 are given the same numbers, and their explanations will be omitted.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 13 denotes a platform provided at the lower part of the box 6, and its front surface is set back to the rear side of the front surface of the box 6.

This configuration prevents pests 12 such as cockroaches from entering the box body 6, prevents dishes such as pots from colliding with the electrode strips 9.1o and damaging the electrode strips 9.1o, and also prevents water work. If the water droplets that fly away during this time adhere to the electrode bands 9 and 10 and cause a short circuit, resulting in wasted power consumption, the number of water droplets will be very small, and the electrodes will also become less noticeable in appearance.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the furniture with the insect repellent device of the present invention, the electrode strip is not damaged and insect repellent can be reliably achieved semi-permanently by simply applying a relatively low voltage. effect can be obtained.
