DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is, for example, attached to a storage section of a storage case for storing tableware so as to be opened and closed.
It relates to a front door made of a transparent plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example of a conventional front door of this kind. Each of these examples is a front door (1) of a middle storage unit, which is a floor cabinet (A) with an upper shelf and is disposed on a bedside of a hospitalized patient in a hospital. . In the figure, (2) is a transparent plate made of a glass plate or an acrylic plate, etc., (3a) and (3b) are hinges, and (4) is a handle for opening and closing. In the example of FIG. 5, the front door is pulled by pulling the upper handle (4).
(1) opens downward as indicated by the arrow. In the example of FIG. 6, it opens upward.

[0003]

The front door (1) of the above-mentioned conventional housing is composed of only the transparent plate (2) and the hinges (3a) or (3b) as main members. The edges including the corners of the transparent plate (2) are exposed. For this reason, there is a possibility that the edge of the transparent plate (2) may be damaged by contact with a container or the like to be taken in and out. In addition, although the use of the transparent plate (2) is convenient because the objects housed inside can be seen from the outside,
Since the hinges (3a) and (3b) are exposed from the front, the appearance is not good.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a front door of a storage case that prevents damage to its edges and the like and that hides hinges and has a good appearance, while maintaining the advantages of using a transparent plate. It is in.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problem is solved as follows. (1) Butterfly on storage case
In the front door to be worn, the storage portion formed in the housing is
A transparent plate large enough to cover the opening,
A pair of front ends attached to opposing edges
A plate-like edge material larger than the end side portion, and
The front side of the edge of the transparent plate and the three surrounding sides
A transparent plate that forms a recess that fits in and is covered by these edge materials
Hinges attached to the storage housing at the right place on the back
Section is provided.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the front and peripheral sides of both ends of the transparent plate are provided.
The three sides are covered and protected by the edge material, and the hinge is hidden by the edge material and cannot be seen from the front.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same members as those in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals and described. FIG. 4 shows a housing for storage,
That is, it is placed on the bedside of hospitalized patients,
1 shows a floor cabinet (B) without an upper shelf, which is a so-called floor table. The floor cabinet (B) is internally divided into an upper storage section (5) and a lower storage section (6) by a partition plate. The upper storage part (5) has a front door according to the present invention.
(1) In addition, the lower storage part (6) has a double front door (7).
, But they are each hinged, tableware in the upper storage section (5),
Clothing and the like are stored in the lower storage section (6).

FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 show an embodiment of a front door of the present invention. In this embodiment, the floor cabinet (B)
The transparent plate (2) having a size capable of substantially covering the front surface of the opening of the storage portion (5) is not particularly limited, but may be a transparent synthetic resin plate such as an acrylic plate, or a transparent glass or the like. Is formed. The transparent plate (2) may be colorless or colored (translucent).

At the right and left sides of the front surface of the transparent plate (2), edge members (8) and (8) are provided, two at a time, each of which is inserted into a screw hole (not shown) formed in the transparent plate (2). Screw (wood screw) (9)
It is attached by screwing it into the back surface of the edge material (8).

The edge member (8) has a rectangular shape elongated in the vertical direction of the front door (1). The strip (8), same material the front door (7) of the lower housing portion (6), for example, those of wood, the thickness is thicker than the transparent plate (2), apparent from Figures 2 and 3 In this way, the front side of the edge of the transparent plate (2) and the three surrounding sides are
A recess (11) that fits therein is formed, and both ends of the transparent plate (2) are accommodated therein. That is, the back surface of the edge material (8)
Other portions are recessed except for the outer edge (10a) and the upper and lower edges (10b) (10c). The shape of the recess (11) is the transparent plate (2)
The shape is almost the same as that of the edge of the transparent plate (2).
The thickness is about the same. In the concave portion (11), two lower holes (not shown) into which the screws (9) are screwed are formed by upper and lower holes.

In the inside of the screw (9) in the transparent plate (2),
Screw holes (9a) for attaching the hinges (12) are symmetrically drilled two by two at the top and bottom. These screw holes (9a) are formed on both the upper and lower sides so that the hinge (12) can be attached to both upper and lower sides. As shown in FIG. 2, the head of the screw (9) is embedded so as to be flush with the rear surface of the transparent plate (2).

The edge member (8) is screwed by fitting the left and right ends of the transparent plate (2) into the recess (11), so that the edge of the transparent plate (2) is It is completely covered and protected, including the three surrounding sides . Further, the transparent plate (2) is provided with a concave portion (11).
The front panel (1) is closed even if the front door (1) is closed. 2) does not come into contact, thereby preventing the rear surface of the transparent plate (2) from being damaged. Further, when the transparent plate (2) is a synthetic resin plate such as an acrylic plate, the presence of the edge material (8) also has an effect of preventing the transparent plate (2) from warping.

The front door (1) is hinged to the upper storage portion (5) of the floor head cabinet (B) with the hinge (12) as described above, and the hinge on the front door (1) side at that time. The upper screw hole (9a) is used for mounting (12). As a result, the hinge (12) is covered by the rim material (8), and when the front door (1) is closed, the hinge (12) becomes invisible from the front. The other end of the hinge (12) is fixed to the back of the top plate of the floor cabinet (B), and the front door (1) is hinged.
Open upward around the horizontal axis around (12). But,
In some cases, it may be attached so as to open downward as shown in FIG.

The present invention can of course be applied to a storage case having an upper shelf as shown in FIG. Transparent plate
(2) and the edge material (8) may be bonded by bonding or the like instead of the screw (9).

[0016]

According to the present invention, the front of both ends of the transparent plate is provided.
The surface and the three surrounding sides are covered with an edge material, and a hinge is attached to the back side of the edge material .
The front surface and the three sides are protected, and the hinge is not visible from the front surface, so that the appearance is improved.

In addition, on the back surface of the edge material, in front of the edge of the transparent plate.
Since a concave portion is formed in which the surface and the three sides are fitted , the protection of the edge of the transparent plate is completed and the reinforcement of the transparent plate is achieved. Further , since the transparent plate does not protrude from the back surface of the edge material, even when the front door is closed, the transparent plate does not come into contact with the housing, thereby providing an effect of preventing the transparent plate from being damaged. .
