Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is a storage cabinet used as a unit of system furniture such as a system kitchen.
More specifically, it relates to a box-shaped cabinet body with an open front, and a door attached to the front surface of the cabinet body via a hinge to open and close the opening on the front surface of the cabinet body, and having a handle at the upper or lower end of the door.

<Prior art> Conventionally, this type of system furniture storage cabinet, called a wall cabinet, which is attached to a wall, is usually placed in a high position, so the door handle is provided near the bottom edge of the door. .

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, even if one attempts to use such a conventional wall cabinet as a so-called floor cabinet that is installed on the floor, it is difficult to use the wall cabinet as it is. If you place it on the floor, the handle will be in a low position close to the floor, making it very inconvenient to use.

Therefore, it is conceivable to invert the wall cabinet and place it upside down on the floor, but since the wall cabinet is originally installed in a high position, the lower end of the door and the cabinet itself should be placed in consideration of the appearance when looking up from below. Since the bottom surfaces of the wall cabinets are aligned, if you invert the wall cabinet and install it on the floor upside down, stacking another cabinet on top of this cabinet under normal use will result in dimensional errors or misalignment during use. There is a risk that the upper end of the door of the lower cabinet and the lower end of the door of the higher cabinet will collide, causing damage to each other or the door not being able to be opened.

Also, when two or more wall cabinets are stacked on top of a wall cabinet that has been inverted and placed on the floor, there is almost no gap between the top edge of the door of the lower cabinet and the bottom edge of the door of the middle cabinet. However, there will be a gap between the top edge of the door of the middle cabinet and the bottom edge of the door of the top cabinet, and if the entire system is considered as a surface, the width of the partition line formed by the gap between the doors will be inadequate. This results in a uniform appearance, which impairs the uniform appearance of system furniture.

Due to the above-mentioned problems, conventional wall cabinets could not be used by placing them on the floor as a unit of system furniture. .

In view of such conventional circumstances, the present invention has been developed to create a floor cabinet by inverting the wall cabinet in system furniture that has a handle at the upper or lower end of the door, without impairing the overall sense of unity and ease of use of the system furniture. The purpose is to make it usable as a net.

<Means for solving the problem> The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the above problem is to make the vertical length of the door slightly shorter than the vertical length of the cabinet body, and to make the vertical length of the front opening slightly shorter than the vertical length of the cabinet body. It is characterized by a pair of hinges being vertically symmetrically installed on one side of the back surface of the door, and hinge mounting holes are bored vertically symmetrically and facing each other on the left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body. be.

<Function> The function of this invention is based on a pair of upper and lower hinges on the back of the door.
By arranging the hinge mounting holes on the opposing left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body in vertically symmetrical positions, the door can be flipped over and attached to either the left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body, and the handle can be positioned at the top or bottom of the door. Even if they are positioned, the distances formed between the upper end of the door and the upper end of the cabinet body and between the lower end of the door and the lower end of the cabinet body are the same width.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, A is a cabinet, and 1 is a main body formed in the shape of a rectangular box with an open front side, and a door 2 is provided on the front side for opening and closing the opening on the front side.

The door 2 is attached to the cabinet body 1 via two hinges 3, and in the attached state, the door 2 is located inside the upper and lower ends of the cabinet body 1 with the same distance 4 between the upper and lower ends. ing.

The door 2 also has a handle 5 near its lower end.

The two hinges 3 are attached vertically symmetrically to the back side of the door 2, with one end protruding toward the back side, and the protruding portion is attached to the cabinet body 1 via a hinge fixing pedestal 6 attached to the side plate of the cabinet body 1. Fixed.

The hinge fixing pedestal 6 has two fixing holes 7 on the upper and lower sides, and is screwed 9 into a hinge attaching hole 8 drilled in the inner surface of the side plate of the cabinet body 1 through the fixing hole 7.

On the other hand, in the cabinet body 1, a large number of dowel holes 10 are arranged in a vertical line from the upper end to the lower end of the inner surface with the same pitch b as the fixing hole 7 of the hinge fixing pedestal 6. The uppermost one 10' and the lowest one 10' have the same distance a between the former and the inner top surface of the cabinet body 1 and the latter with the inner bottom surface of the cabinet body 1. It is set up so that

Two of these dowel holes 10 are made into a pair, and the one located in vertically symmetrical positions constitutes the above-mentioned hinge mounting hole 8, and the other holes are used for mounting a shelf or an option as required. used as.

Further, the dowel holes 10 are provided on both left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body 1 so as to face each other.

Therefore, the door 2 can be reversed and the right door replaced with the left door, or the left door replaced with the right door, and by this replacement, the position of the handle 5 is changed from the lower end of the door 2 to the upper end. be able to. By replacing the door 2, the gaps 4 formed between the upper end of the door 2 and the upper end of the cabinet body 1, and between the lower end of the door 2 and the lower end of the cabinet body 1, do not change.

Therefore, even when installed on the floor as a floor cabinet as shown in Fig. 7, the handle 5 can be placed in an appropriate position where it is easy to use. The doors 2 and 2 of cabinets A and A' will not collide or rub against each other, and the doors 2 and 2' will not be damaged or damaged.
There is no risk that 2' will not open and fall off.

Furthermore, when three or more cabinets A, A', A'' are stacked, the gap 11 formed by the doors 2, 2' of the lower cabinet A and the middle cabinet A' and the middle cabinet A' The gap 11' formed between the doors 2' and 2'' of the upper cabinet A'' and the upper cabinet A'' does not become uneven, and the uniform appearance of the system as a whole is not impaired.

<Effects of the Invention> Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following advantages.

By arranging the pair of upper and lower hinges on the back of the door and the hinge mounting holes on the opposing left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body in vertically symmetrical positions, the door can be flipped over and attached to either the left and right inner surfaces of the cabinet body. Even if the handle is located at the top or bottom of the door, the gaps formed between the top of the door and the top of the cabinet body, and between the bottom of the door and the bottom of the cabinet body are the same width, so the overall performance of the system furniture is improved. The wall cabinet can be reversed and used as a floor cabinet without sacrificing the sense of unity or ease of use.

Therefore, in normal use, the cabinet, which is installed at a high position, can be installed at a low position with the handle properly positioned.
The degree of freedom of the system is increased and a variety of module storage systems are possible.
