Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a storage cabinet that is used by being attached to the wall of a room such as a bathroom or washroom.

[Prior art and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of storage cabinet, a storage recess is formed in a portion surrounded by a rim portion formed by extending the upper edge surface to the upper end of the apron surface, and a shelf is placed inside this storage recess. There are many cabinets that are partitioned into several compartments.

Utility Model Publication No. 57-36035 is also an example. This cabinet is made by bending a piece of plywood from creases (more specifically, serrations) provided at predetermined intervals to form an apron surface, a vertical rim front surface at the tip of the apron surface, and a housing recess. It is constructed by engaging a hooking protrusion projecting in the left-right direction from the front end of the shelf into a hooking hole opened in the opening of the storage recess.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

A cabinet with such a structure has an apron surface perpendicular to the mounting wall surface, a vertical rim front surface perpendicular to the apron surface, and a shelf front surface that protrudes one step forward from the vertical rim front surface. Since it forms the front part of the cabinet, it has a rectangular shape in plan view, which gives it an old-fashioned feel, and it feels like it protrudes into the room more than it looks. It causes a feeling of being cramped. In addition, since the right-angled apron surface and the front surface of the vertical rim are connected, the impact when a user bumps into it is large, and there is a step between the front surface of the vertical rim and the front surface of the shelf. There was a problem that there was a high risk of injury because there was a risk of hitting the front of the shelf at different times.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a storage cabinet that does not cause a feeling of pressure and is extremely safe for users.

[Means to solve the problem]

The technical measures taken to achieve the above purpose were to center the front surface of the cabinet body, which is composed of the front surface of the vertical rim and the front surface of the shelf, in the width direction, excluding the corner between the front surface of the vertical rim and the apron surface. The apron surface is formed in a continuous arc shape in plan view with the maximum protrusion amount, and the apron surface is connected at an obtuse angle to the front surface of the vertical rim, and the corner portion between the apron surface and the front surface of the vertical rim is connected to the upper surface of the cabinet body. The gist is that it is formed into a gentle rounded shape that continues to the front surface.

[Effect]

According to the above technical means, the front surface of the cabinet body, which is composed of the front surface of the vertical rim and the front surface of the apron surface, has a maximum protrusion amount at the center in the width direction, excluding the corner portion between the front surface of the vertical rim and the apron surface. Because it is formed into a continuous arc shape in plan view,
It is shaped so that it becomes rounder and narrows in depth as it goes in the width direction, and since the apron surface is connected to the front surface of the vertical rim at an obtuse angle, it also promotes flatness. In addition, since the apron surface is connected to the vertical rim at an obtuse angle, and the corner portion has a rounded shape that gently continues to the front surface of the cabinet body, the apron surface of the cabinet body exposed from the mounting wall is included. The entire front surface is composed of a nearly continuous curved surface.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it works together to realize roundness and flatness without protrusion, which are factors that give a sense of relief.Therefore, there is no feeling of pressure, and the indoor atmosphere is soft and calm, making it easy to use. It can improve the feeling. Moreover, since the entire front surface of the cabinet body forms a substantially continuous curved surface, even if a user accidentally touches the cabinet, he or she will not be injured, making it extremely safe.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The drawing shows storage cabinet A.

This storage cabinet A has a mirror mounting part a in the center.
1, an upper storage function part a2, and a lower faucet fixture mounting part a3 are integrally molded from ABS resin or high-impact polystyrene, and have a vertically elongated shape.
It is comprised of a door A2 that opens and closes, a faucet appliance A3 such as a hot water mixer faucet attached to a faucet attachment surface a3, and a mirror A4 attached to the mirror attachment part a1.

The storage function section a2 of the cabinet main body A1 is surrounded on three sides except for the lower end by a rim section 1 formed by extending an apron surface 1-2 from the outer end of the front surface 1-1 toward the back surface. The storage recess 2 is formed by bulging out the part surrounded by the rim 1 in the rear direction, and the vertical rim 1' of the rim 1 constitutes the inside of the storage recess 2 and the lower end of the storage recess 2. , 1', by extending the shelf portion 3 from the rear side at appropriate intervals between the lower edges of the storage recess 2.
It is formed into a solid shape divided into several rooms.

In addition, the storage function section a2 has a front surface composed of the front surface 1-1 of the vertical rim 1' and the front surface 3' of the shelf section 3, which is formed into an arc shape in plan view with the maximum protrusion at the center in the width direction. At the same time, the corner portion of the front surface 1-1 of the vertical rim 1 and the apron surface 1-2 which is connected at an obtuse angle to the front surface 1-1 is formed into a rounded shape that gently continues with the front surface of the cabinet main body A1. It is designed to not only eliminate the feeling of protruding into the room as much as possible, but also to eliminate corners and prevent contact with users.

It goes without saying that the lateral rim 1'' at the upper end of the rim portion 1 is also formed in the same manner as described above, with the front surface having an arcuate shape in plan view with the maximum protrusion at the center in the width direction.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, as is clear from the drawings, the front surface of the horizontal rim 1'' and the front surface 3' of the shelf section 3 are
The door A2 is located approximately 4 mm further back than the front surface 1-1 level of the vertical rim 1', forming a fitting space 4 for the door A2 in that part, and opening and closing the storage recess 2.
It is designed to fit perfectly into the fitting space 4 and prevent the user from interfering with the edge of the door A2.

The mirror mounting part a1 has a rectangular mirror mounting surface 5 connected to the lowermost shelf part 3 of the storage function part a2 one step lower so as to be close to the room wall, and a shelf at the lower end of this mirror mounting surface 5. It is formed by bulging the portion 6 forward, and a mirror A4 is attached to this mirror attachment surface 5 via a attachment fitting 7.

The faucet fixture mounting part a3 is connected one step lower and adjacent to the room wall under the lowest shelf part 6 of the mirror mounting part a1, and has a mounting hole 7 for the faucet fixture A3 such as a hot water mixing faucet in the middle part. The holes are being drilled.

By the way, in this embodiment, the storage function part a
2. Although an explanation has been added regarding the storage cabinet having a mirror mounting part a1 and a faucet fixture mounting part a3,
The target is a storage cabinet having only a storage function part a2, and also a storage cabinet without a door A2. In this case, of course, there is no fitting space 4 for the door A2.

Note that 8 is a hole for attachment to the chamber wall.
