Description

造型抽頭之組合結構 Combined structure of modeling taps

本新型為提供一種造型抽頭之組合結構,尤指一種結構簡單、外觀優美、可結合於各種抽屜,且組合簡便,並附加有額外容置空間的造型抽頭之組合結構。 The utility model provides a combined structure of a modeling tap, in particular to a combined structure of a simple design, a beautiful appearance, a combination of various drawers, a simple combination, and an additional receiving space.

按,目前的塑膠收納容器為因應市場之促銷,業者為減少成本,皆將收納用之盒體或箱體以塑膠成型,而其配合之抽屜則將抽屜本體與抽屜面板兩構件各別成型,於兩構件分別加工後,再行相互組裝成一體,而對於這種組合式抽屜其形態相當繁多。 According to the current plastic storage container, in order to reduce the cost of the market, the box body or the box body for storage is molded by plastic, and the drawer of the drawer is formed by the drawer body and the drawer panel. After the two components are processed separately, they are assembled into one another, and the form of the combined drawer is quite numerous.

習知之抽屜面板,有以鈑金方式製成、有以卡榫連接(木質者),亦有以設置特殊之扣件而扣接者,不一而足。歸納各種結構,傳統抽屜面板於製造上常顯的繁複不便,且組裝上亦較耗時費力,常須配合專業的機具或仰賴有豐富經驗的熟手始能加以製作、組裝,因此抽屜本體與抽屜面板的組合仍然非常麻煩。 The conventional drawer panel is made of sheet metal, connected by a card (woody), and also buckled with special fasteners. Incorporating various structures, traditional drawer panels are often complicated and inconvenient to manufacture, and assembly is also time consuming and laborious. It is often necessary to cooperate with professional machines or rely on experienced hands to make and assemble. Therefore, drawer body and drawer The combination of panels is still very cumbersome.

故上述抽屜面板於使用時,為確實存在下列問題與缺失尚待改進: Therefore, when the above drawer panel is used, the following problems and defects are indeed to be improved:

一、隨著系統家具的風行,利用抽屜面板的替換改裝家具外觀之市場逐漸擴大,但仍無有效率之做法因應。 First, with the popularity of system furniture, the market for the use of drawer panels to replace the appearance of modified furniture has gradually expanded, but there is still no efficient way to respond.

二、礙於抽屜本體於抽屜面板的材質差異,使兩者的結合相當有技術性,致使組裝過程費時費力。 Second, due to the difference in the material of the drawer body in the drawer panel, the combination of the two is quite technical, which makes the assembly process time-consuming and laborious.

三、抽屜面板的組裝,一般僅提供外觀之改變,對於抽屜實際功能並無增益,例如收容力之提升、操作之便利性等。 Third, the assembly of the drawer panel generally only provides a change in appearance, and there is no gain for the actual function of the drawer, such as the improvement of the receiving force and the convenience of operation.

是以,要如何解決上述習用之問題與缺失,即為本新型之申請人與從事此行業之相關廠商所亟欲研究改善之方向所在者。 Therefore, how to solve the above problems and deficiencies in the past, that is, the applicants of the new type and the relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study the direction of improvement.

故,本新型之申請人有鑑於上述缺失,乃蒐集相關資料,經由多方評估及考量,並以從事於此行業累積之多年經驗,經由不斷試作及修改,始設計出此種結構簡單、外觀優美、可結合於各種抽屜,且組合簡便,並附加有額外容置空間的造型抽頭之組合結構的新型專利者。 Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the applicants of this new type have collected relevant information, and through multi-party evaluation and consideration, and through years of experience in the industry, through continuous trial and modification, they have designed such a simple structure and beautiful appearance. A new patented combination of various types of drawers, combined with a simple combination, and a combination of shape taps with additional accommodating space.

本新型之主要目的在於:利用固定件及承載座形成一結合平面,使抽頭本體可輕鬆簡便的與各種型式之抽屜結合。 The main purpose of the present invention is to form a joint plane by using the fixing member and the carrier, so that the tap body can be easily and easily combined with various types of drawers.

本新型之另一主要目的在於:藉由一體成型的抽頭本體增加抽屜的美感,並在抽頭本體內側提供一額外之收容空間。 Another main object of the present invention is to increase the aesthetics of the drawer by the integrally formed tap body and provide an additional accommodating space inside the tap body.

為達上述目的,本新型之結構包括:一抽頭本體,該抽頭本體係包含一把手部、一形成於該把手部一端之第一彎折部、一形成於該第一彎折部背離該把手部一端且與該把手部前緣位於同一垂直面之面板部、及一形成於該面板部背離該第一彎折部一端之第二彎折部,且於該面板部內側設有至少一承載座,並於該抽頭本體及該承載座兩端面設有複數個固定件,及於該承載座及該固定件內側形成一供與一抽屜組合之結合平面;俾當使用者將本新型組合於抽屜時,除了可利用把手部、第一彎折部、面板部及第二彎折部的一體成型,提供流線美感之外觀外,更於兩彎折部間、面板部的內側設置一承載座,而提供一額外的收容空間,且利用固定件簡單固定抽頭本體與承載座後,更形成一結合平面,可與各種形式之抽屜外型對應結合,而具有適用性高、組裝容易之實用進步性。 In order to achieve the above object, the structure of the present invention comprises: a tap body comprising a handle portion, a first bent portion formed at one end of the handle portion, and a first bent portion facing away from the handle portion a panel portion having one end and a front surface of the handle portion at the same vertical plane, and a second bent portion formed at an end of the panel portion facing away from the first bent portion, and at least one carrier is disposed inside the panel portion And a plurality of fixing members are disposed on the nozzle body and the two ends of the bearing seat, and a joint plane for combining with a drawer is formed on the inside of the bearing seat and the fixing member; when the user combines the new type into the drawer In addition to the integral molding of the handle portion, the first bent portion, the panel portion, and the second bent portion, the appearance of the streamline aesthetic is provided, and a bearing seat is disposed between the two bent portions and the inside of the panel portion. The utility model provides an additional accommodating space, and the fixing body and the carrier are simply fixed by the fixing member, thereby forming a joint plane, which can be combined with various types of drawer shapes, and has high applicability and easy assembly. Progressive and practical.

藉由上述技術,可針對習用抽屜面板所存在之抽屜面板替換之效率不佳、組裝過程費時費力及功能性不佳等問題點加以突破,達到上述優點之實用進步性。 With the above technology, it is possible to break through the problems of poor efficiency of the replacement of the drawer panel in the conventional drawer panel, time-consuming and laborious assembly process, and poor functionality, and achieve the practical advancement of the above advantages.
