Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a storage cabinet capable of storing bottles, cans, trash, etc.

In a conventional storage cabinet, for example, a cabinet having a garbage container, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a garbage bin 27 is attached to the back side of the door 24 of the cabinet 23, and the lid 25 of the garbage bin 27 is
As shown in FIG. 9, it was fixed with a string 26 attached to the side of the cabinet body 23, and when the door 24 was opened, a trash can 27 came out with the lid 25 open. By the way, with this method,
When opening the door 24, you have to use your hands, which can be very difficult when both hands are occupied while working in the kitchen, or when you are holding something in one hand. He often touched the door with his hands still wet, and was often harassed sensually.

In view of these points, the present invention solves the above problem by providing a single front door of the cabinet with a reversible structure and further allowing the door to be opened without using hands.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet main body, which has a plurality of doors 2 on its front surface, and rotary shafts 3 and 4 are provided above and below the center of one of the doors 2. It can be rotated freely by inserting it into a recess formed in the. this door 2
A metal fitting for fixing the trash can 5 is provided on the surface of the trash can 5, so that the trash can 5 can be attached or removed. This garbage box 5 is equipped with a plastic bag (not shown in the figure). 6
is the top lid of the trash can 5, and 7 is the handle. Torsion springs 8, 9 are fitted into the central and upper rotation shafts 3, 4 of the door 2, and these torsion springs 8, 9 are fixed at one end so as to always rotate the door 2 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. is fixed to the door 2, and one end is fixed to the cabinet 1 side.

Below the cabinet 1, a stay 10 and an L fitting 11 are attached to a base fitting 12.
The stay 10 is arranged horizontally and rotates around a fulcrum 13, and the L fitting 11 rotates around a fulcrum 14 at a corner, and its front end is connected to the rear end of the stay 10 at a connecting point 15, with one piece extending upward. It is extending. A pedal 16 is provided at the front end of the stay 10 that protrudes forward from the cabinet 1, and a rubber pad 17 is provided at the end of the piece extending above the L fitting 11. The pad 17 is constantly pulled by a spring 18, which is stronger than the springs 8 and 9, so as to push the trash can 5 forward. Also, stopper fittings 14 and 20 for restricting the rotation of the door 2 are attached to the cabinet, and a stopper fitting 21 is attached to the door, respectively. 22 is a gasket that hides the gap.

In the above configuration, the pedal 16 is in the state shown in FIG.
When stepped on, the stay 10 rotates about the fulcrum 13 in the direction of arrow A and lifts the connecting point 15. As a result, the L fitting 11 rotates around the fulcrum 14 in the direction of arrow B, and as a result, the pad 17 retreats and separates from the trash can 5, so the door 2 is rotated by the torsion springs 8 and 9. The rotation stops when the trash can 5 appears in front and the stopper fittings 19, 21 are in contact with it. To close the door 2, step on the pedal 16 and manually rotate the door 2 in the opposite direction until it hits the stopper metals 20, 21. When the pedal 16 is released, the L fitting 11 is moved by the torsion springs 8, 9. It is pressed against the trash can 5 by the stronger spring 18, and rotation by the torsion springs 8 and 9 is stopped. This state is shown in FIG.

In addition, in the present invention, the door is automatically reversed using a torsion spring and a pedal, but this is just an example; when an electrical switch is turned on with a foot, the motor is driven and the door is automatically reversed. The door may be reversed so that the storage container can be taken out of the cabinet.

As described above, according to the present invention, the storage container protrudes out of the cabinet without using hands, thereby improving the ease of use, and also preventing the door or handle from touching the cabinet or other objects with wet hands. Furthermore, by reversing the door, only the storage container needs to protrude, so that the door does not become an obstruction during use, unlike in the conventional case.
