Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a foldable counter mounted on a wall.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, counters mounted on walls are fixed horizontally and protrude from the wall, which reduces the space in the room even when not in use. When the counter is not in use, it has disadvantages such as interfering with traffic and other uses of the room.

Therefore, a method can be considered in which such a horizontally fixed counter is laid down vertically and folded along the wall surface when not in use, and when in use is lifted horizontally and used as a counter.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, when such a foldable counter that is mounted on a wall is used as a counter in a horizontal position, a counter support member is required between the back of the counter and the wall. When folding the counter into a stored state, it is necessary to remove this counter support member or fold it together with the counter to put it into a stored state. However, in order to construct a foldable counter that has such a function and maintains an aesthetic appearance, the structure requires a large number of members and is complicated, and furthermore, the counter support member must be removed after the counter is lifted horizontally. This has disadvantages such as the need to perform the same operations as setting the counter, and the time and effort required to assemble the counter.

(d) Means for solving the problem In this invention, the wall mounting base frame, which is formed into a substantially U-shape by extending the left and right vertical frames downward from the left and right ends of the horizontal frame, is attached to a U-shaped open part. is fixed to the wall with the counter facing downward, and the counter body is pivotally attached to the horizontal frame of the wall mounting base frame so as to be able to rotate up and down. With the upper end located between the left and right vertical frames of the wall mounting base frame, the left and right support leg plates are pivoted to the lower side of the counter body so that they can rotate freely inward. is configured to be folded and stored in the frame of the wall mounting base frame, and a magnet body and a magnetically absorbing body are attached to the inside of each of the left and right support leg plates and the corresponding lower surface of the counter body. The purpose is to provide a counter that can be folded freely.

(E) Function In this invention, when used as a counter, first rotate the vertical counter body upward to bring it to a horizontal state, and then rotate the left and right support leg plates pivotally attached to the back of the counter body. At the very least, the counter body is placed in a vertical state, the counter body is placed on the upper ends of the left and right support leg plates, and the counter body is held horizontally on the wall surface via the left and right support leg plates to be in use. When folding, first fold the left and right support leg plates in a vertical position from the pivot point and store them in a substantially U-shaped wall mounting base frame with the open part facing downward, and at the same time fold them in a horizontal position. The counter body can also be rotated downward to stand vertically, stacked on the left and right support leg plates, and placed along the wall surface.In particular, when assembled to be used as a counter, it is difficult to keep the counter body in a horizontal position. When the counter is operated, the left and right support leg plates are automatically rotated at the same time so that they are placed below the counter body and in front of the wall, making it easier to perform the so-called one-touch assembly operation. .

(F) Effect According to this invention, when the counter body is not needed, the left and right support leg plates are folded into the wall mounting base frame, and the counter body is vertically folded and overlapped on the upper end of the leg plate, and the counter body is mounted on the wall. The counter body and the left and right supporting leg plates can be stored together in a state where the left and right supporting leg plates do not spoil the appearance and do not interfere with the use of the room. The counter body can be reliably supported between the counter body and the wall surface by rotating the leg plate at the pivot joint on the lower side of the counter body, and the structure is simple and assembly is easy.
It also has the effect of allowing the folding operation for storage to be performed reliably and quickly.

Furthermore, since magnets and magnetically absorbing materials are attached to the inside of each of the left and right support plates and the corresponding lower surface of the counter body, it is possible to
When storing the counter body, the left and right support leg plates do not dangle, and the storage operation can be easily and surely performed.

(G) Example The example of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of the foldable counter according to the present invention, and 1 is a base frame for mounting on a wall;
The base frame 1 is made of a square lumber formed into a substantially U-shape, and is attached to a wall surface W with the U-shaped open part 2 facing downward. be exposed.

The front edge of the horizontal frame 1-1 of the base frame 1 and the rear edge of the counter main body 4 are rotatably connected via a counter butterfly plate 5. Specifically, the horizontal frame 1-1
The lower end of the front edge of the counter body 4 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the rear edge of the counter body 4 when it is in a horizontal state,
The counter main body 4 is formed into a rectangular shape with a constant width so that it functions as a counter when assembled in a horizontal state.

Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the counter body 4 is assembled horizontally, the rear end surface of the counter body 4 and the front end surface of the horizontal frame 1-1 come into contact with each other, and the horizontal frame The dimensions are regulated in advance so that the upper end surface of -1 and the upper surface of the counter main body 4 are flush with each other.

In this way, the counter main body 4 is configured to be able to freely rotate from a horizontal state to a vertical state via the counter butterfly plate 5.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 5 to 8, left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the horizontal counter main body 4 at a constant interval.

That is, in the assembled standing state, the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 have an upper piece and a rear piece formed at right angles, and are disposed on the left and right sides in a front-back direction under the counter main body 4, so that the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are arranged vertically on the lower side of the counter main body 4. It is pivotably mounted in a vertical standing position via plates 8 and 8'.

Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are rotated horizontally, they are horizontally rotated in directions opposite to each other so that they overlap and abut against the lower surface of the counter main body 4. It is composed of, and furthermore,
When rotating in the vertical direction to the upright position, the upper pieces of the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 contact the lower surface of the counter main body 4, and the rear of the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 as shown in FIG. The side edges are configured to come into contact with the front end surfaces of the left and right vertical frames 1-2, 1-3 of the wall mounting base frame 1.

When the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are rotated horizontally forward, both outer edges of the support leg plates 6 and 7 are at least the left and right vertical frames 1-2 of the wall mounting base frame 1,
It is configured to be located between 1 and 3,
With this configuration, as will be described later in FIG. When stored, the counter body 4
This allows it to be hidden between it and the wall surface W.

Therefore, when storing the counter main body 4 (FIGS. 7 and 8) functioning as a counter in advance in a vertical position along the wall surface W, first the fifth
As shown in Fig. 6, the left and right support leg plates 6, 7 are
The butterfly plates 8, 8' are folded into a horizontal state, that is, a state where they are overlapped with the lower surface of the counter body 4, and then, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4,
Together with the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 that are in a superposed state,
The counter body 4 is folded vertically via the counter butterfly plate 5, and in this folded state, the left and right support leg plates 6, 7 are attached to the left and right vertical frames 1-2, 1-3 of the wall mounting base frame 1. The counter body 4 is stored between the vertical left and right vertical frames 1-2, 1-3.
The left and right supporting leg plates 6 and 7 are hidden between the wall surface W and the front end surface of the wall W (Figs. 2 and 4).
(see Figure 9).

On the other hand, when assembling the stored counter main body 4 to function as a counter, the vertical counter main body 4 can be pulled forward to a horizontal state as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The left and right support leg plates 6 and 7, which have been pulled up together with the counter body 4, rotate vertically by their own weight via the butterfly plates 8 and 8', and the rear sides of the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are attached to a base frame for wall mounting. 1 left and right vertical frames 1-2, 1-3
The upper side of the leg plates 6, 7 supports the lower side of the counter body 4, and the left and right vertical frames 1-2,
1-3 and the left and right support leg plates 6, 7, the counter main body 4 is reliably supported horizontally without wobbling (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

In addition, when storing the counter body 4 in the upright state, the left and right support leg plates 6 and 7 are folded as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 before entering the next operation, which is the folding operation of the counter body 4. In order to hold the left and right support leg plates 6, 7 folded and facilitate the folding operation of the counter body 4, magnetic bodies 9 are installed on the inside of each of the left and right support leg plates 6, 7 and on the lower side of the counter body 4. In some cases, a fixing device such as a magnetically absorbing material 10 is provided (see FIGS. 5 to 8).

With such a fixture, when storing the counter main body 4 due to its own weight, the left and right supporting leg plates 6 and 7 do not dangle, and the storing operation can be performed easily and reliably.

In this embodiment, the left and right vertical frames 1-2, 1-3 of the wall mounting base frame 1 are arranged slightly inward from both ends of the horizontal frame 1-1, so that the wall mounting base frame 1 is It is formed in a substantially U-shape that opens downward.
