Description

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

Conventional Structures and Problems In general, this type of furniture is easily invaded by pests such as cockroaches, so insect traps are used or a gasket is provided at the abutment area between the opening and the door to prevent insects. Although the insect trap is somewhat effective, it cannot prevent all pests from invading furniture. In addition, those that use packing 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 pest control method.

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 and 4 arranged in parallel with each other, and a dry battery that applies a voltage of about 1 to 30 volts to the electrode strips 3 and 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 5 receives a severe electric shock and falls downward as if flying. Therefore, the insects 6 cannot advance beyond the insect control device. Therefore, such a device can prevent the invasion of 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, the electrode strips 3 and 4 may be short-circuited by touching a metal pot or the like that is being handled, or by water droplets that adhere to the electrode strips when working with water. As a result, there have been problems such as a drop in the voltage of the electric insect repellent device and unnecessary consumption of the power supply battery, resulting in a decline in the insect repellent function.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention takes into consideration the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide furniture combined with an insect repellent device that prevents short circuits between a pair of electrode bands and can always effectively perform an insect repellent function.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a corner or arcuate portion of the edge of a furniture component with a pair of parts with a small gap on both sides of the corner or arcuate part as a base point. Furniture equipped with an insect repellent device is configured such that an electrode strip for electric shock is arranged so that the pair of electrode bodies are not on the same plane, and a power supply device that applies a low voltage to the electrode strip is provided. Based on this configuration, the pair of electric shock electrode strips is unlikely to be short-circuited by metal objects, water droplets, etc., and a reliable insect repellent function can be achieved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the figure, 6 is the main body of the wooden storage furniture, and the opening 7
have. A pair of electrode bands 9 and 10 for electric shock are disposed on both sides of the mouth edge of the opening 7, that is, on the front surface and the outer peripheral surface, with the outer corner 8 as a starting point. The surfaces of 1o are made not to be on the same plane. The pair of electrode bands 9 and 1o have a sufficient gap at the corner for the insect 11 to straddle, and a voltage of about 10 volts is applied by a power supply device 12 such as a dry battery.

In the above configuration, when an insect 11 such as a cockroach attempts to crawl into the storage furniture main body 6 and touches the pair of electric conductors 6 = mi polar bands 9 and 10, it receives an electric shock and the insect 11 flies outward. . Therefore, insects 11 will not invade into the storage furniture main body 6.

The metal pots, etc. to be handled next are stored in the storage furniture main body 6 opening section 7.
When touching the edge of the mouth, the pair of electrode bands 9°1o are on the two sides on both sides of the corner 8, that is, they are not on the same plane, so
A pot or the like touches one electrode strip but does not touch the other electrode strip at the same time, which prevents the pair of electrode strips 9 and 10 from shorting and lowering the voltage, and from wasting the dry battery of the power supply 12. .

In addition, water droplets scattered during water treatment and dew condensation caused by humidity are difficult to adhere to the corner portion 8, so that the pair of electrode bands 9 and 10 will not be short-circuited and the insect repellent function will not be harmed.

FIGS. 4, 6, and 6 respectively show other embodiments of the present invention, and the one shown in FIG. is established, and the sixth
The one shown in the figure has a pair of electrode bands 9, 1o on the 〈-shaped surface of the edge, and the one shown in the sixth figure has a pair of electrode bands 9゜1o on the inner arc surface of the edge.
Since the pair of electrode bodies 9 and 1° are not on the same plane, the same effect as in the previous embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, a storage furniture having an opening has been described, but the pair of electrode bands may be arranged at the edge of a table, and the present invention is not limited to storage furniture.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention has a pair of electrode bands for electric shock arranged at the edge of a furniture component so that they are not on the same plane, thereby preventing short-circuiting of the pair of electrode bands. It prevents insects and can always reliably perform its insect repellent function, so its value is great.
