Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide furniture in which a release request intended by a user is surely recognized and a drawer is reliably released.
SOLUTION: Furniture includes a furniture main body 5, a drawer 3 supported so as to be further moved a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction from a stop position where the furniture main body is closed, and a trigger unit 1. And a drawer drive unit that causes the operation. The trigger unit 1 is disposed between the furniture main body 2 and the drawer 5 at a position located at approximately one half of the width of the furniture main body 5. The furniture body 5 is provided with a spring buffer 2. The spring buffer 2 is arranged so that the drawer 3 can move in a predetermined direction of the furniture body 5 against the spring buffer 2 from a stop position where the drawer 3 is closed.

Description

  The present invention relates to furniture. In particular, the furniture main body, a drawer supported so as to be able to move a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction of the furniture main body from a stop position where the furniture main body is closed, and a drawer drive unit that causes an operation by the trigger unit It is related with the furniture arrange | positioned between the furniture main body and drawer | drawer in the location where a trigger unit is located in the half of the width | variety of a furniture main body fundamentally.

  In most cases, this type of furniture with a drawer formed without a handle has made it possible to assist the drawer in the furniture body to be moved at least partly from a closed stop position. Yes. Opening by the trigger unit is performed by further pushing the drawer at the stop position in the closed state toward a predetermined direction of the furniture body.

  The problem with this kind of furniture is that the conventional trigger unit has a certain release threshold that can only be exceeded when the drawer is moved a certain distance towards the direction of the trigger unit, Depending on the location where the user has pushed the front plate, the trigger unit can sense only a part of the distance by which the front plate is pushed into the furniture body by the user.

  The purpose of the present invention is to improve the problem of furniture as mentioned at the outset so that the release request intended by the user is recognized.

  The object is solved by furniture having the features of claim 1.

  By placing the trigger unit at a location that is approximately one-half of the width of the furniture body, the drawer is only a distance of at least half the indentation stroke applied by the user, regardless of the width of the drawer. Guaranteed to move forward. For example, if the user pushes the center of the front plate of the drawer and the front plate of the drawer thereby moves toward the interior of the furniture body by the stroke x, the drawer back wall also advances toward the trigger unit by the stroke x. An optimal situation arises. When the user presses the left or right edge of the front plate when the front plate is viewed from the front, the drawer is tilted to one side. As a result, the front plate is stroked at one end that is pushed in. The x moves forward into the furniture body, but the opposite end of the front drawer plate is stationary. However, the arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ensures that the drawer advances with its back wall towards the trigger unit by a stroke x / 2.

  By disposing the at least one spring buffer relative to the furniture body and the drawer so that the drawer can move in a predetermined direction of the furniture body against the spring buffer from a stop position where the drawer becomes closed However, it is possible to further move the furniture main body in a predetermined direction by a predetermined stroke depending on a pushable distance of the spring buffer from the stop position where the furniture body is closed. In other words, this determines a certain value for the indentation depth previously represented by x.

  The trigger unit is preferably attached to the furniture body or drawer. Particularly preferred is the attachment to the furniture body.

  Preferably, at least one spring buffer is arranged on the front surface of the furniture body. More preferably, one spring buffer may be arranged on each side of the front surface of the furniture body. In such a case, it is further advantageous for the drawer to have a front plate which is shaped to contact at least one spring buffer when the drawer is in the stop position where it is closed.

  More preferably, one spring buffer capable of pushing in a predetermined distance is arranged on each end of the furniture body. And when both spring buffers are pushed in by about one-half of the predetermined distance that can be pushed by the drawer, or at least one of the spring buffers is pushed all the way by the predetermined distance that can be pushed by the drawer. The trigger unit is set to operate when

  The drive unit can be constituted by a motor that can be pulled out of the furniture body or pulled back into the furniture body when the drawer is opened and closed by suitable means, for example via a toothed belt. However, the drive unit may be formed in the form of an extrusion device suitable only for pushing out the drawer from a stop position where the drawer is closed in the furniture body.

  The trigger unit may be provided as an independent part, or may be structurally integrated with the drive unit. For example, when the drive unit is formed as an extrusion device having one lever, the trigger unit can be formed by the lever itself.

  In principle, the trigger unit can function without contact. One example of such a type is an optical or inductive proximity sensor. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to furniture with drawers without handles, but extends equally to drawers with handles.

  Other advantages and details of the invention will become apparent from the following drawings and description of the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a furniture comprising a furniture body 5 incorporating three drawers. The furniture body 5 has a height H, a width B, and a depth T.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the trigger unit 1 is attached to the furniture body 5 at a position located at approximately half B / 2 of the width B of the furniture body. In addition, a spring buffer 2 is provided as an independent part. By further pushing the drawer 3 in the direction of the furniture body 5 from the closed position shown in FIG. 2, the trigger unit 1 formed by the lever of the pushing device itself is actuated by the back wall of the drawer 3. As a result, the extrusion process is started, and the lever of the extrusion device pushes out the furniture part 3 from the stop position in the furniture main body 5 in the closed state.

  FIG. 3a shows a further embodiment of the furniture according to the present invention, in which the drive unit is not shown. In this case, the trigger unit 1 is provided as an independent component arranged at a position located at half B / 2 of the width B of the furniture body 5 according to the present invention. In this embodiment, one spring buffer 2 is disposed on each side of the front surface of the furniture body 5. The spring buffer 2 can be pushed in by the stroke x. Here, in FIG. 3 a, if the user presses the central portion of the front plate 4 of the drawer 3, the front plate 4 together with the drawer 3 is pushed into the furniture body 5 by the stroke x completely in translation. In this case, the back wall of the drawer 3 is also advanced toward the trigger unit 1 by the full stroke x.

  FIG. 3 b shows the situation when a user (not shown) pushes the right side of the front plate 4 of the drawer 3. As a result, only the right side of the front plate 4 is advanced into the furniture body 5 by the stroke x by pushing the spring buffer 2. On the other hand, the left side of the front plate 4 of the drawer 3 remains stationary. As can be seen from the figure, the back surface of the drawer 3 advances toward the trigger unit 1 by a stroke x / 2.

  Therefore, when the pushing stroke that can further push the drawer 3 into the furniture body 5 at the stop position in the closed state is almost determined as the predetermined stroke x by the spring buffer 2, the threshold of the trigger unit 1 is set. It can be said that setting the value to be approximately x / 2 is sufficient for any embodiment according to the present invention.

  As is apparent from FIGS. 4a and 4b, this principle is independent of the drawer width B.
