Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a support device for a drawer, and in particular, it is a device for supporting drawers and shelves of furniture installed above, such as hanging cabinets, with a relatively simple structure. , so that it can be easily pulled out.

[Conventional technology]

The applicant previously proposed a drawer shelf device that was connected to the inner wall of a drawer container with equally long and parallel rotating legs, with the side edges of shelf boards, etc. arranged at appropriate intervals in the depth direction so that articles could be easily put in and taken out of the hanging cupboard. (Jikko Sho 57-
(See Publication No. 14671, Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 59-81443, etc.)
If this is the case, while the shelf board is being pulled out, as the rotating legs rotate, the shelf board will begin to fall before it is completely pulled out of the drawer container, so there is a risk that the shelf board will hit the items on the lower shelf. It was hot.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made to solve the above problem, and a slide device is provided on the side edge of the drawer or shelf board, and its support rails, that is, the rails to be fixed to the inner wall of the container of the drawer, are arranged at appropriate intervals in the depth direction. The drawer or shelf board (hereinafter collectively referred to as the drawer) is connected to the inner wall of the container with equal length and parallel rotating legs, and after being pulled out a predetermined distance by a slide device, it engages with the rail, and from then on, it rotates. The legs rotate and are pulled out further and then lowered to make it easier to take items in and out.As a result, the drawer descends after being pulled out of the container, so it does not affect the items on the lower shelf. Also, the drawer can be completely pulled out from the container.

Further, in the embodiment, the drawer is locked to the rail until the pivot leg returns to its original position, and the drawer is prevented from returning into the container at the lowered position.

〔Example〕

The details will be explained below with reference to a diagram showing an example of a hanging cabinet. 1 is a drawer container body, 2 is a drawer, the side edge of the drawer 2 fits into a rail 3 having a U-shaped cross section, and the rear part Sliders 4, 4 fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the side edges of the drawer 2 slide on the inner surface of the rail 3, and sliders 5, 5 fixed to the inner surface of the rail 3 at the front part.
is adapted to slidably hold the side edge of the drawer 2. The inner edge of the lower plate part of the rail 3 is bent downward to form a vertical plate part 3a. The upper ends of the movable legs 6 and 7 are rotatably supported by shafts 6a and 7a, respectively.
The lower end of the container body 1 is pivoted 6b, 7b on the inner wall of the side plate 1a of the container body 1, and a tension spring 8 is installed between the rear pivot leg 7 and the container body 1.
The pivoting legs 6 and 7 are latched to the rear plate 1b of the container body 1 in a slightly rearward tilted state due to the tension spring 8. In addition, a stopper 9 is provided protruding from the rear lower surface of the drawer 2, and the vertical plate portion 3 of the rail is connected to the stopper 9.
A protruding engaging piece 10 is provided on a to engage the stopper 9 when the drawer 2 is pulled out an appropriate distance. 11 is a handle provided at the front end of the drawer 2.

Therefore, when the drawer 2 is pulled out by the handle 11, the drawer 2 moves horizontally within the rail 3 until the stopper 9 is engaged with the engagement piece 10. When the drawer 2 is further pulled out, the pivot legs 6 and 7 rotate forward against the tension spring 8, and the drawer 2 descends together with the rail 3 and moves forward from the drawer container body 1 over almost its entire length. Since the drawer can be pulled out, it is extremely easy to take items in and out, even if the drawer is for furniture installed at a high place. In this case, the rails 3 on both sides of the drawer
is lowered within the container body 1, but since the drawer 2 has been pulled out a predetermined distance in advance, the lowering within the container body 1 is hardly performed. Reference numeral 12 denotes a stopper for the pivoting leg 7 when it is pulled out, and is attached to the inner wall of the side plate 1a of the container main body, but it may be provided at any other suitable location. In addition, the tension spring 8 is connected to the upper part of the rotating leg 7 and the main body 1.
Since it is installed between the lower part of the inner wall at an appropriate angle with the rotating leg 7, the angle becomes smaller when the rotating leg 7 is tilted forward, and the return rotational force is also small, so that it can be easily removed from the drawer. Even if you release your hand, it will remain in that position. To return the drawer 2 to its original position, first use the handle 11 to lift the drawer 2 slightly and push it in, then the rail 3
The spring 8 follows the drawer 2 and returns to the original position, and thereafter the drawer 2 moves linearly within the rail 3 and returns to the original position.

13 is a locking piece provided on the lower surface of the drawer 2, whereas the upper support shaft 6a of the front rotating leg 6
A restraining piece 14 is fixed to the body and extends further inward to protrude therefrom, and this restraining piece 14 is locked to the rear surface of the locking piece 13 of the drawer when the rotating leg 6 is in the forward rotation position. The return of drawer 2 is inhibited. When the pivot legs 6 and 7 rotate and the rail 3 returns to its normal position, the restraint piece 14 also rotates to release the restraint of the locking piece 13.

Therefore, the drawer 2 cannot return to the main body 1 separately from the rail until the rail 3 returns to its original position. Therefore, the drawer 2 may enter the main body 1 in the lowered position and hit objects on the lower tier, or the drawer 2 may fall first. Rail 3 after returning to
The spring 8 reliably prevents shocks and the like caused by the spring 8 returning to its original position. Reference numeral 15 denotes a connecting plate that connects the rails 3 on both sides of the container body 1. The connecting plate is preferably provided at the front of the rail. The engaging portion of the stopper 9 may be provided at the rear edge of the connecting plate. In addition, in order to rotate the left and right rotating legs 6, 6, 7, and 7 synchronously, the container body is made to have a raised bottom, and the lower support shafts 6b, 6b of the rotating legs,
7b, 7b may be integrally connected to each other through the bottom plate, and each rotating leg 6, 7 may be fixed to this. In addition to the slide device shown in the drawings, an existing slide device using balls, rollers, etc. may be used.

In addition to what is shown in the drawings, the driven device of the rail 3 is also provided with a rotatable claw on the outer plate of the front end of the rail 3, and when the rail returns to its return position, the base on the opposite side with respect to the fulcrum of the claw is attached to the inner wall of the side plate of the main body. The tips of the claws separate from the member on the drawer side as the rail moves forward, and as the rail moves forward, the restraint is released and the tips of the claws elastically engage with the engagement holes provided in the member on the drawer side. It is also possible to stop the drawer so that the rail follows the drawer.

[Effects of this invention]

As mentioned above, the present invention has a relatively simple structure and allows the drawer to be pulled out from the container body over its entire length.
Moreover, since it descends as the drawer is pulled out, it is extremely easy to take items in and out, making it an extremely suitable drawer support device for furniture installed in high places such as hanging cabinets.
