Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a unit furniture in which a cabinet is assembled between at least a pair of side panels, and particularly to the provision of a simple method for attaching an upper cabinet to the side panels.

Conventionally, when installing the upper cabinet between the side panels of unit furniture, the side panel and the side plate of the upper cabinet were fixed to each other with bolts and nuts. It would be desirable to provide a method of mounting that is simple and compatible with other adjacent cabinets.

The present invention aims to provide an easy-to-operate, easy-to-disassemble, and inexpensive method for attaching the upper cabinet in conventional unit furniture. A recess that opens up and down and to the sides is provided on the upper edge of the side.
A leg piece of a locking tool having a locking piece having a locking protrusion and a leg piece arranged in an L shape is fitted and fixed in the recess, and is provided at the upper end of the side panel corresponding to the position of the locking tool. The locking tool for the other side of the cabinet is formed by fitting the protrusion of the locking piece into a locking hole provided at a different position to lock the cabinet to the upper part of the side panel.

To further explain the details of the present invention based on the illustrated embodiment, FIG. The upper cabinet is shown attached to the top of the A specific means for attaching the upper cabinet to the side panel is outlined in FIG. That is, a recess that opens upwardly and laterally is provided on the upper edge of the side panel of the upper cabinet to be assembled into the upper part of the side panel, and a locking piece and a leg piece having engagement protrusions on the lower surface are placed in the recess in an L shape. The leg pieces of the locking tool arranged on the side panel are fitted and fixed with screws, etc., and the protrusion of the locking piece is provided on the upper end of the side panel corresponding to the position of the locking tool, and the locking tool on the other side of the cabinet is fitted. The tool is fitted into a locking hole provided at a different position to lock the upper cabinet to the side panel. The recesses shown here as an example were formed at two locations on the upper edge of the side panel of the upper cabinet, two locking tools were fixed corresponding to the two recesses, and the recesses were formed at the upper end of the side panel. The upper cabinet is attached between the pair of side panels by fitting the engaging protrusions of the two locking tools into the pair of locking holes. The formation of this recess is shown in two places in Fig. 2, but
It is also possible to set two or more recesses, and it is also possible to appropriately adopt a recess having a length in the depth and width direction.

Next, the locking hole formed at the upper end of the side panel for attaching the cabinet has a position corresponding to the locking tool on one side panel and a position corresponding to the locking tool on the upper cabinet on the other side. When two or more locking devices are provided, it is necessary to provide a corresponding locking hole for one and offset the position for the other. be. The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 differs from the small locking device shown in FIG. This is an example in which two engaging protrusions are provided below. For this locking tool, since the recess in the cabinet as shown in Figure 2 cannot be used, it is necessary to open a recess in the depth direction long enough to receive the locking tool shown in Figure 4. There is.
In addition, in the case shown in the figure, the front edge of the side plate between the top plate and the bottom plate of the upper cabinet is set further back than the front edge of the side panel, that is, the width of the side plate of the cabinet is set smaller than the depth width of the side panel. It shows a space in the cabinet in which the inner surface of the side panel is exposed, and although not shown in the drawings, a hinge can be attached to this part and a door plate can be mounted on the front edge of the side panel. Also, what is shown in the figure is a fixture for attaching the lower part of the upper cabinet to the side panel.A half-lay bolt is provided on the side panel side, and a rotating fixture is attached to the top to receive and fix the head of the half-lay bolt. It is located under the bottom plate of the cabinet. Alternatively, it is a dowel for receiving the load of the upper cabinet. Incidentally, instead of using half-lay bolts to pull and fix the upper cabinet toward the side panel, a simple method of simply fixing the side plate of the cabinet and the side panel with screws may be adopted.

As described above, in the unit furniture according to the present invention, a recess that opens upward is provided on the upper edge of the side plate of the upper cabinet, and a locking tool having an L-shaped cross section is fixed to the recess, and the locking tool is engaged. A protrusion is provided at the upper end of the side panel corresponding to the position of the locking tool, and is inserted into a locking hole provided at a position shifted from the locking tool on the other side of the cabinet, so that the upper cabinet can be connected to at least one pair of sides. Since it is designed to be installed between panels, the upper cabinet is installed at the top of the side panel at a position slightly above the operator, and the upper cabinet is simply lifted and each locking device is attached to the top of the side panel. The main cabinet can be installed between the side panels by simply locking it, so assembly is easy and reduces work time, and there is no need to sit on a chair during assembly or disassembly work. Since the work can be done at a height within the reach of the operator and each component is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) In a unit furniture comprising a cabinet installed between at least a pair of side panels arranged vertically, a recess opening upward and downward is provided in the upper edge of the side panel of the side panel of the cabinet, The leg pieces of a locking tool, which has a locking piece having an engaging protrusion in a recess and a leg piece arranged in an L shape, are fitted and fixed, and are provided at the upper end of the side panel corresponding to the position of the locking tool, A unit furniture in which the protrusion of the locking piece is fitted into a locking hole provided at a position shifted from that of the locking tool on the other side of the cabinet, thereby locking the cabinet to the upper part of the side panel. (2) The unit furniture according to claim 1 of the utility model registration claim, which is formed by using at least two recesses in the depth direction.
