Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a hanging shelf that is hung below a draining shelf in a kitchen or the like.

``Prior art'' Conventionally, this type of hanging shelf has been constructed by hooking or hooking the upper ends of both the front and rear hanging rods provided on both the left and right sides to the draining shelf, thereby suspending the shelf. It is an immovable hanging shelf that is fixedly attached to a wall.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' By the way, the above-mentioned hanging shelves are used to hang auxiliary items under the main shelf installed at the rear above the sink to place washed utensils, etc. It is necessary to provide a place where utensils can be accessed easily and quickly, but when the main shelf is installed behind a bay window, etc., the hanging shelf is often separated by the sink and difficult to reach. Therefore, there has been a demand that it would be very convenient and easy to work if the hanging shelf could be pulled out to the front and then items could be put in and taken out.

Therefore, in the present invention, in order to meet this demand, we have provided a hanging shelf that can be pulled out to the front to take in and take out utensils when necessary, and can be stored efficiently and smoothly with a simple operation after being used. This is what I am trying to do.

"Means for Solving the Problem" As a means to achieve the above objective, the upper ends of both the front and rear hanging rods provided on both sides of the hanging shelf are movably pivoted to the main shelf via hanging members so that they can swing back and forth. By doing so, a parallel link mechanism is installed on both sides, and by the principle of a parallelogram, it swings and deforms in both front and rear directions, and the left and right sides of the hanging shelf are linked, allowing the hanging shelf to move back and forth like a swing. Incidentally, a diagonal joint rod is rotatably installed opposite to the upper ends of both the left and right suspension rods at the rear, and the upper ends of the diagonal joint rods are placed along the guide groove of a sliding guide provided on the suspension member. The guide groove is loosely fitted so as to slide back and forth, and the front part of the guide groove forms an arcuate circuit in which the upper end of the diagonal joint rod rotates downward, and an engagement for temporarily engaging the upper end of the joint rod at the front end of the circuit. A mating recess is provided, and when the hanging shelf is pulled forward, the upper end of the diagonal joint rod slides forward along the front-back guide groove and engages with this engaging recess, causing it to temporarily stop. The hanging shelf is provided to be fixed, and the turning path constitutes a circuit that turns downward in an arc shape from the lower front end of the engagement recess and merges into the middle of the original guide groove.

"Operation" When you pull the hanging shelf toward you, the front and rear hanging rods on both sides of the shelf take on the shape of a parallelogram and protrude forward, and at the same time, the upper end of the diagonal lever slides forward along the longitudinal guide groove provided on the sliding guide. The guide groove moves to fit into and engage with the engagement recess at the front end of the guide groove, and stops at that point, so that the hanging shelf is supported by the engagement of the diagonal joint rod and is fixed in a forward protruding state.

Then, when the hanging shelf is pulled slightly forward, the engagement of the diagonal joint rods is disengaged, and the upper end of the joint rod falls downward due to its own weight.After that, the weight of the shelf causes each of the hanging rods to move vertically. At the same time, the upper end of the diagonal joint rod slides back along the lower turning path, merges with the middle part of the original longitudinal guide groove, and returns to the original position along it. Therefore, the hanging shelf returns to its original hanging state and stops.

"Example" An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The main parts of this embodiment are shown in each of the attached drawings.
The outer periphery of the mesh shelf board is surrounded by a peripheral frame 2, and the left and right ends of the mesh shelf board are fitted into the shelf supports so as to be supported by side groove-shaped shelf supports 3, and both the front and rear ends of the shelf supports 3 are The lower ends of the husband and rear suspension rods 4, 4' are movably pivoted to the upward protruding pieces 3a, 3a provided opposite to each other by means of a shaft member 5, and the upper ends of both suspension rods 4, 4' are attached to the front and rear of the suspension member 6. Parallel link mechanisms are provided on both sides of the hanging shelf A by movably pivoting it on the shaft with a shaft fitting 7, and the hanging shelf A is hung so as to be swingable back and forth using four parallel hanging rods such as these. In addition, both left and right hanging rods 4' placed at the rear of the hanging shelf,
The lower end of the diagonal joint rod 8 is movably attached to the upper end portion of the diagonal joint rod 4' with a shaft 9, and the fixed shaft 8b is attached to the upper end of the vertical portion 8a where the upper end of the diagonal joint rod 8 is bent upward. The fixed shaft is loosely fitted into a guide groove 10a of a sliding guide 10 screwed inside the hanging member 6, and is pivotally supported so as to be slidable back and forth.

The sliding guide 10 is made of a horizontally long rectangular plate, and has a guide groove 10a formed in a straight line in the front and back direction on the outer surface thereof.
At the same time, a backward engaging recess 10b is provided at the front end of the groove which is slightly curved downward at the front end of the guide groove 10a.
After turning downward from the lower front end of the engagement recess in a U-shaped arc shape, it ascends upward to join the middle part of the original linear guide groove 10a to form a turning path 10c, and also forms a turning path 10c. A space for the upper vertical portion 8a of the rowing joint rod to reciprocate back and forth is also formed together with the guide groove.

Therefore, when the hanging shelf A is pulled forward, the front and rear hanging rods on both sides move parallel to each other and protrude diagonally forward, but in this case, the diagonal joint rods 8 also move together while changing the angle of inclination. When the upper end fixed shaft 8b of the vertical portion 8a slides forward along the linear guide groove 10a and reaches the front end of the guide groove, it falls into the engagement recess 10b and is engaged with the engagement recess 10b. stopped,
A supporting force is obtained by the engagement of the upper end of the diagonal joint rod, and the hanging shelf is fixed in the forward protruding state.

Then, when the hanging shelf is pulled up slightly forward, the engaging part disengages and the fixed shaft 8b falls from the recess 10b due to the weight of the diagonal joint rod and faces into the swing path 10c. As the rod hangs down in the vertical direction, the upper end fixed shaft of the diagonal joint rod retreats along the turning path 10c, merges with the middle part of the original longitudinal linear guide groove 10a, retreats to the rear end, and stops. Therefore, each hanging rod simultaneously stops its hanging motion when the upper end of the diagonal joint rod comes into contact with the rear end of the guide groove, so that the hanging shelf remains in its original position without swinging backward from its original hanging position. Stop.

The hanging member 6 is attached to the main shelf by inserting it into the horizontal rod 11a of the shelf support frame 11 of the main shelf B from the outside as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, one piece of the angle rod is used as the horizontal piece 6a, and this is inserted onto the horizontal rod 11a of the shelf support frame, and the downward hanging piece 6e is angled from the outer end of the protruding piece 6c parallel to the lower side of the horizontal piece. The other piece of the rod is welded to the inside of the vertical piece 6b, and the shelf support frame horizontal rod 11a is inserted into the gap between it and the horizontal piece 6a.
Further, the sliding guide 10 is screwed onto the inside of the vertical piece 6b.

In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a guard rod, which is an upper end curved portion 3c of a branch 3b that protrudes upward from the rear end of the shelf support 3.
The ends are supported by.

``Effect of the invention'' The hanging shelf of this invention is configured so that it can be moved back and forth between the fixed position and the forward protruding position by swinging the shelf back and forth by the interlocking action of the four hanging rods of the parallel link mechanism mentioned above. Since it is easy to pull the sink forward and fix it, it is extremely easy to take things in and out even when the sink is hung at a distance from the rear part of the sink.

Further, by using the joint rod and the guide groove provided with the pivot path and the engaging portion provided in the sliding guide, the back and forth reciprocating operation and the fixing operation of the shelf can be performed smoothly and easily, making the hanging shelf easy to use. possible and achieve the intended purpose.
