Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to storage furniture used in offices and other places.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as this type of storage furniture, left and right side panels are connected by a horizontal structure arranged in multiple stages, and a structure is formed between the top horizontal structure and the second horizontal structure. It is known that a transom is arranged in front of a flat storage space.

However, in many storage furniture of this type, a decorative frame is installed on-site in order to hide the gap between the uppermost horizontal structure and the ceiling.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, the transom world used in conventional storage furniture is
It has a structure in which an upper frame is formed on the upper edge of the face plate, a lower frame is formed on the lower edge, and a side frame is formed on the side edges, and is made by pressing a sheet metal plate.

However, with such a structure, it is impossible to change the vertical dimension of the transom field on site. Therefore, when the transom is closed, the width of the decorative frame exposed between the upper edge of the transom and the ceiling is determined depending on the height of the ceiling. Therefore, the exposed dimension of the decorative frame cannot be adjusted to a desired value, and the appearance may be impaired.

The present invention aims to solve such problems without impairing the strength of the transom field or the form of the joint formed between the transom doors.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, in the storage furniture according to the present invention, the left and right side panels are connected by a horizontal structure arranged in multiple stages, and there is a width-adjustable vanity between the front edge of the horizontal structure in the uppermost stage and the ceiling. A frame is provided, and a transom is arranged in front of a storage space formed under the uppermost horizontal structure, and the transom is a face plate with an upper edge as a free end. , a lower frame provided at the lower edge of this face plate, a side frame provided from the lower end of the side edge of this face plate to near the middle position, and an upper edge of the side frame provided at the middle position on the back of the face plate, connecting each other. The upper half of the transom field has a rearward bending piece on both sides, and the upper end of the transom field overlaps the front side of the decorative frame. It is characterized by

In order to avoid complicating the manufacturing process, it is preferable to integrally construct the face plate, lower frame, and side frame from one sheet metal material.

When it is desired that the transom field exhibits high rigidity, especially against torsion, it is desirable to form a hollow pipe structure with the middle crosspiece and the face plate.

In order to ensure the attachment strength of the transom field to the side plate, it is preferable to position the middle crosspiece above the vertical center of the face plate.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the area below the middle crosspiece of the transom area is hinged to the side plate.

In order to easily close the gap between the uppermost horizontal structure and the ceiling with a decorative frame, the decorative frame is fixed with a front piece extending in the −L direction from the front end of the horizontal structure. a movable member having a downward U-shaped cross section attached to the back surface of the front piece of the fixed member, and a support that is screwed to the horizontal structure so as to be movable up and down and whose upper end presses the movable member against the ceiling. It is better to have a bolt.

[Operation] With such a configuration, the gap formed between the uppermost horizontal structure and the ceiling can be closed by appropriately adjusting the vertical width of the decorative frame. and,
By cutting the upper half of the transom area horizontally at a desired position, the vertical width dimension of the decorative frame exposed from between the upper edge of the transom area and the ceiling can be set to the desired value. I can do it. However, since the part above the middle crosspiece of this transom is not a part reinforced by reinforcing members such as side frames or upper frames, the strength of the entire transom will decrease even if it is cut at an appropriate position. There isn't. Note that although the cut end surface of the upper edge of the face plate is exposed, the upper edge of the transom boundary is a visible and hidden part, so it does not adversely affect the appearance. Since rearward bending pieces are provided on both side edges of the portion above the middle crosspiece of the face plate, the cut end surface of the material is not exposed at the joint portion formed between the transom doors.

[Example code] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Each support bolt 83 is screwed into a nut 14 fixed to the horizontal structure 1, and a flange 83b is rotatably provided at the tip thereof.

The upper piece 82b of the movable member 82 is pressed against the ceiling C via this collar portion 83b.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 6, the transom door 9 includes a face plate 91 with an upper edge 91a as a free end, a lower frame 92 provided at a lower edge 91b of this face plate 91, and this face plate. 91 side edge 91
Side frame 9 provided from the lower end to near the middle position in c
3, and the side frame 93 provided at the middle position on the back surface of the face plate 91.
The face plate 91, the lower frame 92, and the side frame 93 are integrally formed by press working. Upper half part 9 of transom door 9
Rearward bending pieces 95 are provided on both side edges 91c of a (referring to the part above the middle frame 94; the same applies hereinafter), and when the upper half part 9a is in the closed state, the upper half part 9a is placed on the front side of the decorative frame 8. It is made to polymerize.

The lower frame 92 consists of a horizontal piece 92a extending rearward from the lower edge 91b of the face plate 91 and a bent piece 92b extending upward from the tip of the horizontal piece 92a. It consists of an extending piece 93a extending rearward from the side edge 91c of 91, and a bent piece 93b extending inward from the tip of this extending piece 93a. The middle crosspiece 94 includes upper and lower horizontal pieces 94a,
It has a U-shaped cross section with the rear edges of 94b integrally connected by a rear piece 94c, and mounting pieces 94d are integrally provided on the front edges of the horizontal pieces 94a and 94b. 94d is joined to the back surface of the face plate 91 by spot welding. That is, the middle crosspiece 94 and the face plate 91 form a hollow pipe structure. In addition, at both ends of the upper horizontal piece 94a of the middle crosspiece 94, as shown in FIG.
4e, and both ends of the rear piece 94c of the middle crosspiece 94 and the top end of the side frame 93 are joined by spot welding. The middle crosspiece 94 is located two inches from the center of the face plate 91 in the vertical direction, and the part below the middle crosspiece 94 of the transom door 9 is

With such a configuration, the gap formed between the uppermost horizontal structure 1 and the ceiling C can be closed by appropriately adjusting the vertical width of the decorative frame 8. That is, by rotating the support bolt 83 to press the movable member 83 against the ceiling C, and then attaching the fixed member 81 to the horizontal structure 1, the gap between the horizontal structure 1 and the ceiling C is closed. can be occluded. In addition, by horizontally cutting a portion 9a above the middle crosspiece 84 of the face plate 91 of the transom door 9 at a desired position, a portion 9a of the transom door 9 is exposed from between the upper edge 9b of the transom door 9 and the ceiling C. The lower width dimension of the decorative frame 8 can be set to a desired value. However, since the upper half portion 9a of the transom door 9 is not a part reinforced by reinforcing members such as side frames or upper frames, the strength of the transom door 9 as a whole will not decrease even if it is cut at an appropriate position. do not have. Although the cut end face is exposed on the upper edge 91a of the face plate 91, since the upper edge 91a of the transom door 91 is a hidden part, it does not adversely affect the appearance. transom door 9
Since backward bending pieces 95 are provided on both sides of the upper half portion 9a, the cut end surface of the material is not exposed at the joint formed between the transom doors 9, and the appearance is good. become. Therefore, it is possible to set the downward width between the upper edge of the transom door 9 and the ceiling C to a desired value by simple on-site work without impairing the strength or appearance of the transom door 9. .

In particular, in this embodiment, since a hollow pipe structure is formed by the center frame and the face plate, the transom door 9 has a higher resistance to twisting than a conventional door without a pipe-shaped frame. This makes it possible to exhibit rigidity.

Moreover, since the middle crosspiece 94 is located above the vertical center of the face plate, the lower frame 92, the side frames 93, and the middle crosspiece 94
As a result, a reinforcing frame structure with a relatively wide vertical width can be constructed. Therefore, if this reinforcing frame portion is hinged to the side plate 5, the free end portion of the face plate 91 becomes irrelevant to the mounting strength, making it possible to ensure high mounting strength.

Moreover, if the decorative frame 8 is configured as described above,
The vertical width of the decorative frame 8 can be adjusted simply by screwing the support bolts 14 in the vertical direction. And it can be closed reliably.

Note that, of course, the storage furniture is not limited to one consisting of four units as in the illustrated example.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, it is possible to reduce the vertical width between the upper edge of the transom door and the ceiling by simple on-site work without impairing the strength or appearance of the transom door. It is possible to set it to a desired value. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problem of the gap between the transom door and the ceiling varying depending on the ceiling height, and it is possible to quickly assemble the door in an optimal state.

Furthermore, if the face plate, lower frame, and side frame are integrally constructed from a single sheet metal material, the main part of the transom door can be manufactured by press processing as before, which avoids complicating the manufacturing process. I can do it.

Further, by forming a hollow pipe structure with the inner crosspiece and the face plate, the transom door can be made to exhibit high rigidity, especially against torsion.

Furthermore, by positioning the middle crosspiece above the vertical center of the face plate, it is possible to construct a reinforcing frame structure with a relatively large vertical width, which prevents a decrease in the rigidity of the transom door. Moreover, by hingedly attaching the portion of the frame structure, that is, the portion below the middle crosspiece of the transom door to the side plate, the strength of attachment of the transom door to the side plate can be maintained at a high value.

Further, the decorative frame includes a fixed member having a front piece extending upward from the front end of the horizontal structure, a movable member having a downward U-shaped cross section attached to the back surface of the front piece of the fixed plate, and the above-mentioned If the support bolt is screwed to the horizontal structure so that it can be raised and lowered and presses the movable member against the ceiling at its upper end, the gap between the uppermost horizontal structure and the ceiling can be made up. The frame allows for easy closure.
