Description

  The present invention relates to a wagon storage device for storing a caster-equipped wagon so that it can be inserted and removed freely.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various system storage devices such as a sink and a washroom have been proposed that are equipped with a wagon storage device that allows a wagon with casters to be stored in and out. As a wagon with a caster to be accommodated in the wagon storage device, it is designed to be able to sit and perform housework and washbasin etc. in addition to a wagon equipped with a top plate for carrying dishes etc. to the table There are wagons, wagons designed to make it easier to take out things stored in the back.

FIG. 5 is an overall perspective view showing a conventional wagon storage device, and shows an example applied to a system kitchen.
A wagon storage device 200 having a storage space 400 with a front opening is configured in the wagon storage location of the system kitchen 100, and the handle 300a provided on the decorative plate 300c on the front surface of the wagon 300 is pulled or pushed. Thus, the wagon 300 can be taken in and out of the storage space 400. When the wagon 300 is stored in the storage space 400, the decorative plate 300c is designed to be flush with the opening / closing door 100a provided on the front surface of the system kitchen 100. The stored wagon 300 is configured to have a uniform appearance.
A pair of guide members 500 are formed below the side walls 400a that form the storage space 400 of the wagon 300 and face the left and right, and the guide member 500 is a base portion 300b to which the caster c of the wagon 300 is attached. The wagon 300 is in a rail shape so that the wagon 300 is accommodated at a predetermined position.
According to this, the wagon 300 can be taken in and out without damaging the left and right side walls 400 a at the corners of the wagon 300.

  However, in such a structure, since there is a gap (play) between the pedestal portion 300b of the wagon 300 and the guide member 500 that contacts the side surface of the wagon 300, when the wagon 300 is stored in the storage space 400, There is a case where the door is wobbled and stored in a tilted state without being flush with the opening / closing door 100a. Further, since the lower part of the vertically configured wagon 300 is pressed by the guide member 500, the stability of the upper part of the wagon 300 is deteriorated, and the wagon 300 as a whole can be prevented from rattling and wobbling. Furthermore, unless the wagon 300 is moved in a linear direction with respect to the storage space 400, it cannot be smoothly put in and out.

Therefore, a cabinet in which guide members are provided above both side walls of the storage space and the guide members (guide rollers) are in contact with the upper side surface of the wagon is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.
In Patent Document 1 below, a substantially U-shaped mounting base is fixed to the inner side of the opening portion of the storage space and on the bottom surface of the top plate of the sink, and guide members are provided at the left and right ends of the mounting base. A fixed one is described (see Patent Document 1 and FIG. 5), and the upper part of the wagon is guided by the guide member while being pressed from both the left and right sides, so that it can move in the front-rear direction without wobbling. ing.
JP 2005-287696 A

However, since the guide member described in Patent Document 1 is fixed to the substantially U-shaped mounting base as described above, the guide member is provided at a symmetrical position, and the mounting positions of the left and right guide members can be arbitrarily set. It cannot be changed.
Therefore, when the guide members are provided symmetrically in this way, if the wagon is moved in a linear direction, it can be smoothly put in and out. For example, a combination system in which the wagon storage devices are arranged in an L shape, for example. When the wagon is installed near the corner of the storage device or when the front space of the wagon storage device is narrow, or when it is desired to pull the wagon from the storage space in an oblique direction, one of the guide members obstructs it and pulls it out smoothly. It was something that could not be done. Further, when the wagon is stored in the storage space, if it is attempted to insert the wagon from an oblique direction, the wagon hits the guide member on one side and cannot be inserted, and the guide member may be damaged.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a wagon storage device capable of smoothly inserting and removing a wagon.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wagon storage device according to the invention of claim 1 is provided so as to be in contact with a storage space of a front opening for storing a wagon with a caster in a removable manner, and a side surface of the wagon. And a guide member for guiding the wagon, wherein at least a pair of guide members are opposed to each other on both side walls forming the storage space and facing left and right. To do.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the guide member may include a roller that is in rolling contact with the side surface of the wagon and a support that elastically supports the roller. A rail member can be attached to the lower side of the rail along the direction in which the wagon is put in and out. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the guide member can be structured to be attached to the both side walls facing the left and right by an attachment that allows the attachment position to be adjusted along the direction in which the wagon is put in and out. Further, the wagon storage device can be arranged in the vicinity of the corner of the combination system storage device arranged in an L shape.

According to the wagon storage device of the first aspect of the present invention, the storage space is formed, and the side walls facing the left and right are opposed to each other with at least a pair of guide members at different front and rear positions. When storing the wagon, even if the wagon enters in an oblique direction with respect to the front opening of the storage space, the guide members arranged opposite to each other at the front and rear positions correct the blur and smoothly move to the appropriate storage direction. Can lead. For example, when the guide member provided on the right side wall facing the wagon storage device is installed on the front opening side of the storage space, it is easy to store in the storage space from the left oblique direction. Further, when the wagon is pulled out from the storage space in the oblique direction, the guide member is opposed to the front and rear, so that the guide member does not get in the way and can be pulled out smoothly.
Therefore, not only when the wagon is taken in and out in a straight direction, but also when it is taken in and out in an oblique direction, the wagon can be corrected to be smoothly taken in and out without requiring unnecessary force.
Furthermore, the guide member is provided so as to guide the wagon to the storage space in contact with the side surface of the wagon, and since the left and right side surfaces of the wagon are in contact with the guide member, the wagon rattles. Without wobbling, it can be smoothly put in and out while being maintained in a stable state.

  According to the wagon storage device of the second aspect of the present invention, the guide member includes the roller that is in rolling contact with the side surface of the wagon and the support that elastically supports the roller. The roller of the guide member is elastically rolled from both sides, the impact force to the wagon can be reduced, and it can be put in and out more smoothly by applying an appropriate pressing force by the support that elastically supports. .

  According to the wagon storage device according to claim 3 of the present invention, the rail member is attached below the both side walls along the direction of loading / unloading the wagon, so that the guide member guides the wagon, Since the side surface of the wagon is supported by both the guide member and the rail member, the wagon can be smoothly put in and out without wobbling. Further, when the wagon is taken in and out, it can be prevented that the wagon meanders and the corner portion of the wagon hits the wall surface of the storage space and is damaged.

  According to the wagon storage device described in claim 4 of the present invention, the guide member has a structure in which the guide member is attached to the both side walls facing left and right by an attachment that allows the attachment position to be adjusted along the wagon insertion / removal direction. Therefore, the attachment position of the guide member can be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, the mounting position of the guide member can be adjusted as appropriate according to the installation location of the wagon storage device and the convenience of the user.

  According to the wagon storage device of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the wagon storage device can be disposed near the corner portion of the combination system storage device arranged in an L shape. Therefore, it is easy to put in and take out the wagon from the storage space formed in the vicinity of the corner portion that is difficult to put in and out in the linear direction.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

It is the disassembled perspective view which showed the attachment point of the guide member in an apparatus.
In FIG. 1, a system kitchen (system storage device) 1 is configured by combining a plurality of storage devices arranged in an L shape, and includes a sink space 1a having a sink and a cooking device having a cooking device such as a stove. A space 1b, a storage space 1c in which home appliances such as a microwave oven and a rice cooker can be placed, and a top plate 1d are laid on the top surface. Below the top plate 1d is a storage space 1e, which is composed of a drawer and a shelf. The front surface of the storage space 1e, that is, the front surface of the drawer and the shelf is configured to be flush with the decorative plate 1f.

A wagon storage device 2 is formed in the vicinity of the corner portion 1g of the system kitchen 1, and is designed so that a wagon 3 with casters can be stored therein.
As shown in FIG. 2, the wagon storage device 2 includes a rectangular storage space 4 with the front surface opened, and the bottom surface of the storage space and the floor surface on which the system kitchen is placed by opening the lower surface. And the same surface with no steps, making the wagon 3 in and out even smoother. Guide members 5 that guide the wagon 3 to the storage space 4 are provided above the side walls 4 a that form the storage space 4 and face the left and right sides, respectively, in contact with the side surfaces of the wagon 3.
The guide member 5 is opposed to the side wall 4a with a front and rear position different by a fixture 5b that allows the mounting position to be adjusted, and is a roller 5a that is in rolling contact with the side surface 3d of the wagon 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). And a support 5b that elastically supports the roller 5a. The configuration of the guide member 5 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
A rail member 6 is provided below the storage space 4 along the direction in which the wagon 3 is put in and out (storage direction). According to this, the guide member 5 guides the wagon 3 and supports the side wall 4a. Scratches can be prevented. Further, since the side surface of the wagon is supported by the two members of the guide member and the rail member from both the left and right sides, the wagon can be taken in and out more smoothly without wobbling.

The wagon 3 (see FIG. 1) stored in the storage space 4 is composed of a box-shaped wagon body 3c having an opening on the top surface, and a caster c that can move forward, backward, left and right. A decorative plate 3b is provided on the front side of the wagon body 3c, and a handle 3a is attached above the front surface of the decorative plate 3b. By pulling and pushing the handle 3a, the wagon 3 can be taken in and out of the storage space 4 (see the white arrow in FIG. 1). When the wagon 3 is stored in the storage space 4, the decorative board 3b Since it is configured to be flush with the decorative plate 1f, the system kitchen 1 has a sense of unity and a good appearance.
The structure / shape of the wagon 3 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and can be seated with a plurality of racks, a basket accommodated therein, a top plate for placing objects, and the like. As long as it has a side surface 3d that comes into contact with the guide member 5 and can be accommodated in the accommodating space 4, such as those provided with a seating surface, a wagon with casters of various configurations and shapes can be applied.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation of putting in and out the wagon 3 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional plan view of the wagon storage device 2. In this example, of the guide members 5 attached in a pair above the side wall 4a, the guide member 5 on the right side (the right side in the drawing) of the storage space 4 is shown. Is provided on the front opening side, that is, in front of the left (left side of the paper) guide member 5, and the left guide member 5 is provided behind the right guide member 5.
As shown in the figure, the guide member 5 is placed in the front-rear position so as to face each other, so that the wagon 3 is stored in the storage space 4 from an oblique direction (see the wagon 3 indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 3 and the direction indicated by the white arrow d1). In order to house the wagon 3, the left guide member 5 with which the left side surface 3d of the wagon 3 abuts serves as a shaft to guide the wagon 3 in the housing direction (see the direction indicated by the arrow d2). When the right side surface 3d of the wagon 3 comes into contact with the right guide member 5 and is pushed in the storing direction as it is, the inclined wagon 3 is gradually guided straightly. The rail member 6 attached below the side walls 4a also acts to guide the wagon 3 in the storage direction, and the wagon 3 is straightened (see the wagon 3 shown by the solid line in FIG. 3). Is housed in.
Further, when pulling out the wagon 3 from the storage space 4, if it is pulled out by applying force in an oblique direction (see the direction indicated by the white arrow d1), the wagon 3 is smoothly tilted when it is separated from the restriction of the right guide member 5. It can be pulled out in the direction (see the wagon 3 shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3).
Here, the guide member 5 is configured to be pressed toward the side wall 4a when the side surface 3d of the wagon 3 comes into contact with the guide member 5 when the wagon 3 is put in and out, and in FIG. The state pressed by the side surface 3d of the wagon 3 and the roller 5a indicated by the dotted line indicate the state not pressed by the side surface 3d of the wagon 3.

When the guide member as in the present embodiment is mounted at the same position symmetrically in the left-right direction, the guide member interferes, and the wagon 3 can be taken in and out in an oblique direction (indicated by the arrow d1). Although it was not possible, by making the left and right guide members 5 different in the front-rear position as shown in the figure, it is possible to smoothly move in and out in an oblique direction as well as in and out in a linear direction. Further, since the rail member 6 is also attached, the wagon 3 meanders when the wagon 3 is put in and out, and the corner portion of the wagon does not hit the wall surface of the storage space to be damaged.
Furthermore, since the guide member 5 is attached above the side walls 4a, it is inserted and removed while being in contact with the side surface 3d at the upper left and right sides of the wagon 3, so that the wagon 3 does not rattle or wobble. It can be put in and out smoothly while maintaining a stable state.

  Here, the example in which the mounting height of the guide member 5 is mounted above the both side walls 4a has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the guide member 5 is mounted at a position where it is in contact with the left and right side surfaces 3d of the wagon 3. It only has to be. Further, the mounting position of the guide member 5 is not limited to the illustrated example. For example, when applied to an inverted L-shaped system kitchen, the left guide member 5 may be attached to the front (front opening side) of the right guide member 5. Of course, the present invention can be applied to a rectangular system kitchen as well as an L-shape. Further, the rail member 6 may not be provided, and the configuration thereof is not limited to this.

Next, the structure of the guide member 5 is demonstrated based on FIG.
The guide member 5 includes a roller 5a that is in rolling contact with the side surface 3d of the wagon 3 and a support 5c that elastically supports the roller 5a, and the mounting position of the guide member 5 can be adjusted along the direction in which the wagon 3 is put in and out. It is set as the structure attached to the both side walls 4a which face right and left by the tool 5b.
The roller 5a is pivotally supported by the shaft portion 5aa and rotates when the side surface 3d of the wagon 3 comes into contact therewith. The roller 5a is fixed to the support 5c via the shaft portion 5aa. The support member 5c is configured such that an elastic member 5d such as a spring can be stored on the back surface (attachment surface of the attachment member 5b), and in the illustrated example, the elastic member 5d is interposed in the shaft portion 5ea of the screw bolt 5e. I try to let them.
The fixture 5b is formed of a rectangular thin plate, and upper and lower two rails 5ba are formed so that the mounting position can be adjusted along the storage direction of the wagon 3 (see white arrow d2 in FIG. 3).
The support 5c is fixed to the predetermined position of the rail 5ba with a screw bolt 5e and a nut 5f with the elastic member 5d interposed. By adjusting the mounting position of the support 5c at this time, the mounting position of the guide member 5 provided on the both side walls 4a can be set differently in the front-rear position.
The fixture 5b itself is fixed to the both side walls 4a of the storage space 4 at the same mounting height and symmetrical positions (see FIGS. 2 and 3) by fixing the four corners with screws 5bb.

According to the above structure, the roller 5a of the guide member 5 is elastically contacted with the wagon 3 from the left and right, the impact force to the wagon 3 can be reduced, and an appropriate pressing force is applied by the support tool 5c that is elastically supported. By adding, it is possible to carry out the withdrawal more smoothly.
Further, since the guide member 5 is structured to be attached to the both side walls 4a facing left and right by the attachment 5b that allows the attachment position to be adjusted along the direction in which the wagon 3 is put in and out, the attachment position of the guide member 5 is arbitrary. Can be changed. Therefore, for example, when it is easier to use the wagon storage device 2 in the diagonally left direction according to the installation position of the wagon storage device 2 (for example, whether the installation position of the wagon storage device 2 is the right or left side from the center of the system kitchen) or the user's dominant hand If the right guide member 5 is attached in front of the left guide member 5 as shown in FIG. 3 and it is easier to use in the right diagonal direction, the left guide member 5 is placed in front of the right guide member 5. The attachment position of the guide member 5 can be adjusted as appropriate, such as attachment.
The members constituting the guide member 5 (the roller 5a, the fixture 5b, the support 5c, the elastic member 5d, etc.) are not limited to those shown in the drawings. For example, the elastic member 5d is attached to the support 5c. It can also be built-in. Needless to say, the support 5c to which the roller 5a is fixed may be directly attached to the both side walls 4a without using the attachment 5b.

  The wagon storage device 2 of the present invention is not limited to the system kitchen 1, but includes a wagon storage device 2 for storing a wagon 3 with casters such as a cabinet for a wash basin, a cabinet for a cooking table, a cabinet for a shelf, etc. It can be applied to any system storage device provided.

It is the whole system kitchen perspective view to which the wagon storage device of the present invention was applied. It is a front view of the wagon storage device. It is a cross-sectional top view of the same wagon storage device. It is the disassembled perspective view which showed the attachment point of the guide member in the same wagon storage device. It is the whole perspective view which showed the conventional wagon storage device.
