Description

The proposed technical solution relates to means of placement and demonstration of various objects, and is aimed at improving and expanding the functionality of known devices of this kind.

The claimed utility model can be used in various fields of human activity, including in the field of trade and advertising, being an integral part of various finished products in which the implementation of this technical solution is possible.

In particular, the claimed utility model is a drawer with a built-in backlight system that works when the box is in the closed position and does not work when the box is in the open position. This principle of illumination is most applicable, in order to demonstrate the objects (goods) placed in the box, bringing them to end consumers.

From the prior art, several most similar products (devices) can be distinguished. So, for example, the drawer device is described in the patent document for the invention No. 2402252 "Drawer". This document describes a box containing a bottom, a front panel, a rear wall located opposite the front panel, made in the form of sections from a hollow profile, and two side walls passing in the direction of movement of the box and made in the form of sections from a hollow profile that are fixedly connected with end sections of the back wall. The disadvantage of this drawer is the inability to mount lighting in it.

The closest analogue of the claimed technical solution is the drawer described in the patent document for the invention No. 2519910 “Drawer with backlight, backlight and current collector”, as well as in the patent document for utility model No. 127598 “Drawer” and which is a box with side generators and the bottom, containing a light source, a current collector, electrically connected to the light source and having spring-loaded contacts for interaction with conductive elements connected to a power source . The current collector has a housing with spring-loaded contacts movably mounted inside, providing electrical contact with conductive elements mounted on the construction of the furniture element relative to which the drawer moves when they are pulled out of the housing.

A disadvantage of the closest analogue is the inability to operate the backlight when the box is in the closed position, due to the fact that the magnetized contact is out of reach with the current collector of the product element in which the box is located, the current collector is made in a dimensional case.

The proposed technical solution will eliminate the above disadvantages of the known device, expanding, first of all, the functionality of the closest analogue, which together will provide the opportunity for the best demonstration of the objects located in the box, when the box is in the closed position.

The technical result, which is achieved by the claimed utility model, is to create a universal design of the backlight and current collector, with the possibility of backlighting when the box is in the closed position.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the claimed utility model, which includes a drawer with side generators and a bottom (drawer profile), a light source, a current collector, electrically connected to the light source and having flexible contacts for interacting with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) connected to a power source, the current collector has magnets with holes mounted on a non-conductive, flexible, rounded material (flexible contacts) that provide an insulating contact in contact with the conducting members (metal or magnetic strips), to be installed in the product structure, relative to which the drawer moves.

There are two alternative bending options, relative to the body of the product in which the box is mounted, of the flexible contacts of the current collector mounted on the box body.

The contact of the current collector is ensured either due to the magnetic force arising from the interaction of the magnetic element with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips), or due to only the mechanical effect of the elasticity of the flexible contacts.

According to the first embodiment, the bending of the flexible contacts is ensured by the magnetic force arising from the interaction of at least one magnetic element structurally associated with said flexible contacts in the current collector body with at least one conductive element (metal or magnetic strip) having specified dimensions and installed so that when moving the drawer relative to the design of the product in which it is installed, these flexible contacts of the current collector ivodilis in contact with said conductive (metallic or magnetic) member having a predetermined length.

According to the second, alternative embodiment, which is the simplest in execution, the extension of said flexible contacts from the current collector body is ensured only by elastic impact on the material, so that when the drawer is moved relative to the structure of the product in which the box is installed, said flexible current collector contacts brought into contact with the specified conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) having a predetermined length. In this case, the flexible contacts are always bent, relative to the case of the box, due to the elasticity of the material.

The light source is preferably an LED strip of a predetermined length.

Conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) are usually connected to a power source (electrical network) through a transformer. Conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) contain an insulator to prevent contact with the entire surface of the box.

The lateral side of the drawer with backlight can be made in the form of a solid wall with a groove on the inside, in which the current-carrying wire passes. In this case, the lateral form of the drawer with backlight is preferably made in the form of plastic, in particular, from ABS (non-conductive material), which facilitates the design of the drawer and simplifies its manufacture, as well as reduces the risk of electric shock.

The main advantages of the proposed technical solution are as follows:

- expanding the functionality of the closest analogue, as well as reducing production costs, by reducing the number and complexity of the elements used in it;

- the ability to use any profile of the box, including aluminum or plastic, with ready-made grooves in which the box illumination elements (LED strip) and / or decorative inserts can be attached;

- the universal design of the backlight device and the current collector, providing the possibility of the backlight when the box is in the closed position;

- the design of the box, the backlight device and the current collector are made with a minimum number of fasteners, which ensures a reduction in size, ease of installation and maintenance;

- the current collector has a wireless connection in the backlight device and has the ability to independently install, with the correct installation of the box in the product, relative to the conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips);

- for the application of the proposed backlight and current collector, there are no restrictions on the design and shape of the boxes;

- in this design, rollers, ball guides that increase the outer dimensions of the box are not used.

The combination of the above features and the main advantages of the utility model, each of which is necessary, and all together are sufficient to achieve the goal, create the claimed technical solution that extends the functionality of the closest analogue and consists in creating a universal design of the backlight and current collector, with the possibility of backlight operation, when the box is in the closed position.

The proposed backlit drawer is disclosed in the drawings, where:

in FIG. 1 - shows a general view of a drawer with backlight (3/4 front view);

in FIG. 2 - shows a general view of a drawer with backlight (front view);

in FIG. 3 - shows a general view of a drawer with backlight (top view);

in FIG. 4 - shows a general view of a drawer with backlight (left view);

in FIG. 5 shows a disassembled drawer view with illumination (detailed drawing);

in FIG. 6 shows a disassembled current collector (detailed drawing);

in FIG. 7 - shows a general diagram of the interaction of the drawer with backlight and the finished product;

A backlit drawer includes: a drawer profile 1 (FIG. 5, FIG. 7), a wall forming a side right 4 (FIG. 5, FIG. 7), a wall forming a left side 3 (FIG. 5, FIG. 7) , current collector 2 (FIG. 5) and FIG. 6, electrically connected to a light source and having flexible contacts 6 (Fig. 6) for interacting with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. 7) connected to a power source, LED strip 11 (Fig. 5), magnet with a hole 5 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) and fasteners.

An example implementation of the claimed utility model.

The profile of the box 1 (Fig. 5, Fig. 7) is made of any material, including aluminum or plastic. The lateral generators 3 and 4 (Fig. 5, Fig. 7) are made of wear-resistant, non-conductive material, preferably plastic (ABS), which facilitates the design, simplifies manufacture and reduces the risk of electric shock.

The extension of the box, relative to the product in which it is installed, is carried out by sliding the side generatrix of the box 3 and 4 (Fig. 5, Fig. 7) along the guides of the element of this product.

In the side generatrix 3 and 4 (Fig. 5, Fig. 7), a groove can be provided for inserting the LED strip 11 (Fig. 5), which at the ends has contacts with an annular tip 7 (Fig. 6), connected to the current collector 2 ( Fig. 5) and Fig. 6, located on the profile in the rear of the drawer 1 (Fig. 5, Fig. 7). Current collector 2 (FIG. 5) and FIG. 6 includes flexible contacts 6 (FIG. 6, FIG. 7), magnets mounted on them with a hole 5 (FIG. 6, FIG. 7), and necessary mounting hardware. These flexible contacts 6 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) are bent from the profile of the box under the influence of a magnetic field and are in contact with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. 7), mounted on the inner wall of the product in which the box 12 is installed (Fig. 7). Contact only occurs when the drawer is in a retracted state. A magnet with a hole 5 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) comes into contact with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. 7) of a given length, which contributes to the occurrence of magnetic attractive forces and bending of flexible contacts 6 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) due to the elasticity of the material.

Each conductive element (metal or magnetic strip) 8 (Fig. 7) of the product in which the box is installed corresponds to one flexible contact 6 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7), while the conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. . 7) are electrically isolated from each other. The backlight turns off only when the flexible contacts 6 are disconnected (Fig. 6, Fig. 7), that is, in the absence of contact between the magnetic element (s) and the corresponding conductive element (metal or magnetic strip) 8 (Fig. 7), when the drawer is pulled out and is not in the contact zone with conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. 7). Accordingly, for the backlight to work, it is necessary and sufficient that, when closing the drawer, the flexible contacts 6 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) are in contact with the corresponding conductive elements (metal or magnetic strips) 8 (Fig. 7)., And do not come into contact when opened .

The above example of the implementation of the claimed utility model reveals only the main features of the drawer with backlight, but it is obvious to any person skilled in the art that based on the disclosed data, it is possible to create many variants of its external design.

Thus, the proposed utility model will provide the ability to work with the backlight when the box is in the closed position, thereby allowing, in the best way, to demonstrate the objects placed in the box.
