Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to storage furniture, particularly to improvement of the grounding portion thereof.

Conventional technology Storage furniture such as chests of drawers, closets, bookshelves, cabinets, cabinets, etc.
The lower end of the architrave is grounded to the installation surface such as tatami or the floor.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Although such conventional storage furniture provides stability when installed, it is inconvenient because it cannot be easily moved when rearranging or moving. This problem can be solved, for example, by equipping the storage furniture with casters, but this is not preferable because it lacks stability during installation and gives an unsightly appearance.

The present invention was made with the aim of eliminating these conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problem The present invention includes a bag body that is inflated and deflated as appropriate by external operation, and a bag body that is normally kept in a retracted state, in an architrave provided at the lower end of storage furniture. The present invention relates to storage furniture characterized in that it is provided with a moving member that is projected downward from the lower end of the architrave in response to the inflation pressure when the body is inflated.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the architrave of the storage furniture, 2 is a bag provided in the architrave 1 so as to be appropriately inflated and deflated by external operation, 3 is the expansion of the bag 2, This is a moving member that moves in and out of the lower end of the architrave 1 as the storage operation progresses.

The architrave 1 may be integrated with or separate from the main body 4 of the storage furniture, and FIG. 4 shows a separate configuration, and a top plate 11 is integrally formed at the upper end of the architrave 1. .

The bag body 2 is, for example, tube-shaped and has an architrave 1.
Two of them are attached in parallel to each other on both sides of the lower surface of the top plate 11, but the attachment position and number of attachments can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, instead of the tube shape, a flat bag shape may be used. Bag body 2 is stable in the attached position,
Top plate 1 in order to inflate and store reliably.
The contact surface with 1 may be integrated with adhesive. The material of the bag 2 is not particularly limited as long as it has expansion and contraction properties, but it is preferably one that has as high a tensile strength as possible; for example, a material made of chloroprene-based synthetic rubber containing reinforcing fibers can be used. The inside of the bag body 2 is connected to an injection port 22 provided on the side of the architrave 1 via a conduit 21 . The inlet 22 is equipped with a check valve (not shown) that can be opened appropriately by external operation. As a means of supplying air,
Examples include manual or foot-operated air pumps and motor-driven compressors.

The moving member 3 can be composed of a base plate 31 and casters 32 attached to each corner of the lower surface of the base plate 31. Instead of the casters 32, a slider molded from a slippery synthetic resin can be used. Good too. The moving member 3 is attached to the mounting hole 3 of the base plate 31.
11, it is supported by a bolt 312 protruding downward from the top plate 11 so as to be able to move up and down within the architrave 1 within a predetermined allowable width, and in this supported state,
It is adapted to receive the inflation pressure of the bag 1 or to be released from the inflation pressure.

When the storage furniture according to this invention is normally installed,
As shown in FIG. 3, the bag body 2 is in a contracted state,
Therefore, the moving member 3 is recessed within the architrave 1, and the lower end of the architrave 1 is in contact with the installation surface, similar to ordinary storage furniture, supporting the entire weight of the storage furniture. In this normal state, the installation condition is stable, and the moving member 3 and other attached equipment are completely invisible from the outside, so there is no difference in appearance from normal storage furniture.

Now, in the state shown in FIG. 3, the conduit 2 is
When air is supplied into the bag body 1 through the bag body 1 and inflated, the moving member 3 moves downward as the bag body 1 expands and is projected below the lower end of the architrave 1, and the caster 32 is moved to the architrave 1. grounded to the installation surface instead of the bottom edge of the Since the entire weight of the storage furniture is supported by the moving member 3, the moving member 3 is
This allows storage furniture to be easily moved. This state is shown in FIG. 4, and the inside of the bag 1 maintains an air pressure of, for example, about 1 to 5 kg/cm ² that balances the weight of the stored furniture.

In the state shown in FIG. 4, when the inside of the bag 2 is opened to the atmosphere by externally operating the inlet 22, the storage furniture gradually descends while exhausting the air inside the bag 2 due to its gravity. The moving member 3 gradually sinks into the architrave 1, and conversely, the lower end of the architrave 1 moves into the moving member 3.
Instead, it makes contact with the installation surface, returns to the normal installation state shown in Figure 3, and prepares for the next operation.

Effects As described above, in the present invention, the movable member is made to be able to come and go in and out of the architrave of the storage furniture, and the movable member is grounded in place of the architrave when it is protruded, so that it can be easily installed during normal installation. It is possible to ensure ease of movement without compromising the stability or appearance of the product, making it extremely convenient for moving or rearranging.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a first embodiment showing the moving member omitted.
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the situation during normal installation, and FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the main part showing the situation during movement. In the figure, 1 is an architrave, 11 is its top plate, 2 is a bag body, 21 is a conduit, 22 is an inlet, 3 is a moving member, 31 is a base plate, and 32 is a caster.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] Inside the architrave provided at the lower end of the storage furniture, there is a bag body which is inflated and deflated as appropriate by external operation, and which normally maintains a retracted state and receives inflation pressure when the bag body is inflated. A storage furniture characterized in that it is provided with a moving member that projects downward from the lower end of the architrave.
