DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an improvement of a cabinet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cabinet has a box-shaped main body which is opened forward and is provided with a door of a pivoting type or a sliding door type. Back) is formed on a flat surface without irregularities. On the other hand, there are various kinds of equipment in offices, such as fire extinguishers, which are always required to be installed by hand and those that are not used in cabinets because they are frequently used. There is. These items are placed on the floor or placed on a cabinet or desk, but when placed on the floor there is a problem that people may be stumbled or cluttered, and on the other hand, they may be placed on a cabinet or desk. To do is badly formatted.

Further, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-110568 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-13423, door bags are provided on both the left and right sides of the main body, and a horizontally-rotatable door is attached to the door bag. There are cabinets that can be pushed in and stowed, and this type of cabinet is particularly useful if the doors are left open for some time because the open doors do not get in the way. However, in general, since the cabinet has a depth dimension of the main body larger than a lateral width of the door, a dead space often occurs at a rear portion of the door pocket.

[0004] In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet having functions that have not been provided in the past.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in a cabinet having a box-shaped main body that is opened forward and a door that closes the opening, an appropriate portion of the outer surface of the main body is provided. The configuration is such that an article storage portion that opens in the direction is formed. According to the second aspect of the present invention, in a cabinet provided with a box-shaped main body opened forward and a horizontally rotatable door for closing the opening, the cabinet is opened on both left and right sides or one side of the main body. A door pocket having a front opening capable of pushing and storing the door in the state is formed, and an article storage portion opened to the outside is formed in a portion of the door pocket that does not interfere with the pushing and storing of the door.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the side portion of the cabinet can be used as a storage portion for articles, so that objects which have conventionally been placed on the floor or placed on the cabinet can be arranged. Can be stored, which can improve the working environment of the office.

[0007] Further, according to the structure of the second aspect, since the rear portion of the door pocket, which was conventionally a dead space, can be effectively used, there is an advantage that the space utilization efficiency can be improved in addition to the effect of the first aspect. By the way, a keyboard for input and a display are set in a server of a computer. Conventionally, it has been general that a server is installed in a corner of a room and the keyboard and the display are placed on a desk. However, since the display and keyboard attached to the server are not used frequently, it is wasteful to leave the display and keyboard on the desk, and the appearance of the connecting cables causes the appearance to be reduced. bad. In addition, since the server is the center of the computer system, if the data is lost due to a fire, the server is seriously damaged.

In this respect, when the cabinet is constructed as in claim 3, since the cabinet has a fireproof structure, it is possible to protect incidental items such as servers, keyboards, displays, and other valuable data from fire. In addition, since the display and keyboard can be stored inside the cabinet, it is only necessary to open the door and operate the keyboard only for data input, so that the working environment can be neat and the server and keyboard can be connected. Space can be effectively used by arranging the display vertically.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the opened door is pushed into the door pocket and stored, the door does not become an obstacle for the operator and others during operation of the keyboard. The extra part (rear part) can be effectively used as a storage for a fire extinguisher, which is extremely useful as a server cabinet.

[0010]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet (fireproof storage) 1, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1. The cabinet 1 has a main body 2 having an open front surface and a horizontal rotation for closing an opening of the main body 2. And a door 3 of the type (note that FIG.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. FIG.
As shown in the enlarged view, the main body 2 and the door 3 have a structure provided with a fireproof heat insulating layer made of a fireproof material such as concrete. Although not shown, a handle or a lock is attached to the door 3.

At both left and right side surfaces of the main body 2, a door pocket 4 which is opened forward so as to cover the entire outer side surface of the main body 2 is formed. FIG. 4 is a cutaway side view of the cabinet 1. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 2, two upper and lower (or any other number) support rails 5 extending in the front-rear direction are fixed to the outer surface of the main body 2. The support rail 5 has the structure shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, attach the backward U-shaped slider 6 and
The door 3 is attached to the front end of the slider 6 by a hinge (not shown) so as to be horizontally rotatable.

Therefore, when the slider 6 is fully advanced, the door 3 can be freely rotated horizontally, and the door 3 is pushed in a state of being opened perpendicular to the opening of the main body 2 in a plan view. Thereby, the door 3 can be stored in the door pocket 4. The reason why the slider 6 is formed in a rearward U-shape is to enable the heavy weight door 3 to be supported, and a bracing 6a for reinforcement is provided. With such a configuration, the fireproof door 3 having a large weight can be supported without any trouble.

As shown in FIG. 4, the slider 6 and the main body 2
Are connected by a link mechanism 7 including two link rods. This is for smoothly moving the door 3 back and forth. As described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-110568, utilizing the fulcrum of the spring,
The door 3 may be provided with a biasing means which is pushed in at the middle point of the movement and becomes free or pulled out and becomes free.

In the cabinet 1, since the depth of the main body 2 is larger than the width of the door 3 due to the relationship between the depth and the width of the door 3, even if the door 3 is stored in the door pocket 4 as shown in FIG. The rear part is empty space. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 1, a storage portion 9 having an outward opening in which a fire extinguisher 8 can be stored is provided at an appropriate height at the rear of the door pocket 4.
Is formed.

In this example, the storage portion 9 is formed in a pocket shape, but the shape can be freely changed according to the shape of articles to be stored, such as a multi-stage shelf shape. The storage unit 9 may be provided with a lid. Further, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 9 is formed only on one side of the cabinet 1, but it goes without saying that it may be formed on both sides. As shown in FIG.
A heat radiating port 10 is provided on a side surface of the cabinet 1. A heat dissipation fan may be arranged in the door pocket 4. Needless to say, a hole is formed in the wall of the main body 2 at the location of the heat radiation port 10. In this case, it is preferable to provide a closing means such as a shutter plate that operates in response to a fire (heat or smoke) at a location of the heat radiation port.

Although not shown, holes are provided at appropriate locations such as the back and side surfaces of the main body 2 so that cables for power supply and communication can be inserted. The cables and the like passing through the holes are covered with, for example, a thermally expandable ceramic to prevent the flame and heat from entering the main body 2 in the event of a fire. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, a bottom plate 12 is attached to the lower end of the inside of the main body 2 via a suspension rail 11 so as to be slidable back and forth. The bottom plate 12 is set so that a server 13 and a power supply backup device (UPS) 14 can be mounted thereon. Further, a first shelf 16 on which a keyboard 15 can be placed is mounted via a suspension rail 17 so as to be able to move back and forth at a height substantially the same as that of a general desk inside the main body 2. Further, a display 19 is provided in a portion of the inside of the main body 2 slightly above the first shelf 16.
Is fixedly provided on the second shelf plate 20 on which the information can be placed.

Further, a hub device 21 for connecting a plurality of servers 13, for example, is provided at the upper end of the inside of the main body 2.
A third shelf 22 capable of storing low-volume articles such as the above is fixedly mounted. One or both of the second shelf 20 and the third shelf 22 may be adjustable in height and / or movable back and forth. As shown in FIG. 5, there is a gap between the first shelf 16, the second shelf 20 and the third shelf 22 and the rear surface of the main body 2 so that a cable 23 can be inserted therethrough. In this case, there is an advantage that the wiring operation can be easily performed.

In the above configuration, when the cabinet 1 is used for storing the server 13, the door 3 is generally used.
By closing, the server 13, the keyboard 15, and the display 19 can be protected from fire or theft and protected in a safe state. Further, since the server 13, the keyboard 15, and the display 19 can be arranged up and down, space can be effectively used.

On the other hand, when the data of the server 13 is exchanged or the system is changed, the doors 3 are opened and stored in the door pocket 4, and then the second shelf 20 is pulled out, and the user stands or stands on a chair. The user may operate the keyboard 15 while sitting down. During the operation, since the door 3 is stored in the door pocket 4, the door 3 does not obstruct others and the worker. When exchanging data of the server 13, the bottom plate
By pulling out 12, you can work easily.

The housing 9 is provided on the side of the cabinet 1.
Is provided, the fire extinguisher 8 and the like, which were conventionally kept on the floor, can be arranged at the side of the cabinet 1, so that the working environment can be made clear and
The dead space of the door pocket 4 can be effectively used. When the door 3 is made to have a fire-resistant structure as in the embodiment, the thickness of the door 3 is increased and the thickness of the door pocket 4 is also increased. Therefore, a relatively large fire extinguisher 8 such as the fire extinguisher 8 can be sufficiently stored in the storage section 9.

Although the above embodiment is applied to a fireproof cabinet, the present invention can be applied to a normal steel or wooden cabinet.
