DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawer protector mounting structure suitably used for drawing out a sleeve desk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a drawer of a sleeve desk is usually formed by using a press-formed product of a steel plate as a head plate. In particular, in the case of the lowermost drawer near the floor, the end plate is likely to collide with an object during opening and closing operations, and it is easy to cause scratches and peeling of paint, so that in general, a synthetic resin made to protect the front surface of the end plate The protector is attached.

[0003]

In the conventional protector mounting structure, a horizontal piece of a protector having an inverted L shape in side view is attached to the lower end face of the drawer end plate, and in this state, the horizontal piece is attached to the horizontal piece from the lower surface side. The protector is fixed to the end plate side by the inserted screw. In other words,
A clear boundary exists between the lower end surface of the end plate and the horizontal piece of the protector, and the vertical piece of the protector hangs downward from the horizontal piece at a position substantially flush with the end plate. However, the lowermost drawer is arranged at a position close to the floor surface, and generally, there is not so much a gap between the drawer and the floor surface. Therefore, according to the protector mounting structure, the vertical piece of the protector is restricted to a narrow one in the up-down direction, and the inconvenience of lacking the protection area is likely to occur.
Further, in order to solve such inconvenience, it is conceivable to extend only the vertical piece of the protector beyond the boundary with the end plate to the front side of the end plate. However, when a force in the peeling direction is applied to the upper edge of the vertical piece at any time, the protector may be lifted from the end plate and may cause a problem that the appearance and the function are easily damaged.

An object of the present invention is to provide a drawer protector mounting structure that can effectively solve such a problem.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, the drawer protector mounting structure according to the present invention comprises a drawer end plate having a front face and a lower end face,
A protector having a horizontal piece and a vertical piece continuous in an L-shape in side view is attached and attached. For this purpose, a hook hole opened in the front surface of the end plate, a dowel insertion hole opened in the lower end surface of the end plate, an upward claw projecting to the inner surface side of the vertical piece of the protector, and an upper surface of the horizontal piece of the protector And a dowel projecting to the side is provided, respectively, and the upward nail is engaged with an upper edge of the hook hole, and the dowel is inserted into the dowel insertion hole, and in this state, the horizontal piece is inserted from the lower surface side. The protector is fixed to the end plate side by a screw.

[0007] In order to increase the degree of close contact between the protector and the end plate and facilitate the mounting work, it is convenient to form a groove having a V-shape in a side view between the upwardly-facing claw and the vertical piece. .

[0008]

With such a structure, when the dowel is completely inserted into the dowel insertion hole, the upward hook engages the hook hole to a predetermined depth, and at the same time, the inner surface of the vertical piece and the upper surface of the horizontal piece. Are closely attached to the front surface and the lower end surface of the head plate, respectively.
That is, the dowels properly position the entire protector. Then, the fixing of the protector to the end plate is completed by tightening the screws. In this state, the protector steadily adheres to the end plate through the engagement portion between the upward hook and the hook hole and the engagement portion between the dowel and the dowel insertion hole. From being lifted up.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A drawer 1 to which the protector mounting structure is applied includes a drawer main body 2 and an end plate 3 as shown in FIG.

The drawer main body 2 has upper and lower horizontal mounting surfaces 21 and 22 and left and right vertical mounting surfaces 23 and 23 extending from four sides of the face plate 2a toward the front side, respectively. A pair of nut members 24 are rigidly attached to the surface 22 from the center of the upper surface, and a pair of nut members 25 are respectively attached to both ends from the center. A dowel insertion hole 26 is formed in the center.

The head plate 3 has a flat box shape formed by press working. As shown in FIGS.
1, a handle portion 31a is opened, and the back side is an upper bent piece 32.
a, an opening 3 in the inner periphery of the side bent piece 32b and the bottom wall 33;
2 are formed. The end plate 3 is arranged such that the whole of the end plate 3 is slightly inclined forward and the upper bent piece 32 a is attached to the mounting surface 2 of the drawer main body 2.
1 is engaged with the stepped portion 21b provided on the back side, and thereafter,
When the posture is adjusted to the vertical position, the mounting surfaces 21, 22, 23, and 23 of the drawer main body 2 are fitted on the inner periphery of the opening 32, and their leading edges 21a, 22a, 23a, and 23a are attached to the front plate. 31 is positioned so as to be in contact with the back side. In this positioning state, the lower end surface 33 of the end plate 3 has a semicircular cutout 34 overlapping the nut member 24 and a hole 35 continuous with the nut member 25.
And a dowel insertion hole 36 that is continuous with the dowel insertion hole 26. And, the front surface 3 of this end plate 3
A rectangular hook hole 37 is formed at four places on the lower end side of 1. The dowel insertion holes 3 are also provided near both ends of the lower end face 33.
6 are drilled.

The protector 4 has a longitudinal dimension equal to that of the end plate 3.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 9, a vertical piece 41 having both ends bent, and a T-shaped side view on the inner side of the vertical piece 41 as shown in FIGS. And a horizontal piece 42 projecting therefrom. Then, the horizontal piece 42 and the upper half portion of the vertical piece 41 which is continuous with the horizontal piece 42 in an L-shape in side view are attached to the lower end face 33 and the front face 31 of the end plate 3 as shown in FIG. To be worn. For this purpose, an upward claw 43 that is inserted into the hook hole 37 while the protector 4 is mounted on the end plate 3 protrudes from an upper end on the inner surface side of the vertical piece 41 of the protector 4. I have. The upward claw 43 is formed between the vertical piece 41 and the V-shaped groove 4 in a side view.
3a is formed. Also, the horizontal piece 4 of the protector 4
A dowel 44 fitted in the dowel insertion hole 36 with the protector 4 mounted on the end plate 3 is provided on the upper surface side of the dowel 44.
A semicircular cutout 45 overlapping the cutout 34;
A hole 46 that is continuous with the hole 35 is formed. A bottom wall 49 is connected to the lower end of the vertical piece 41, and the bottom wall 49 and the horizontal piece 42 are connected by a rib 50 as shown in FIG. Notch portions 47 and 48 for screw insertion are provided in the bottom wall 49.

Next, a procedure for mounting the protector 4 will be described. First, the upward claws 43 of the protector 4
Into the hook hole 37, and then the protector 4
Is lifted upward, and the dowel 44 is inserted into the dowel insertion hole 36. When the dowel is inserted, the upward claw 43 engages with the upper edge 37a in the hook hole 37 to a predetermined depth, and at the same time, the inner surface of the vertical piece 41 and the upper surface of the horizontal piece 42
Are closely attached to the front surface 31 and the lower end surface 33 of the front panel. Especially,
Since the upward claw 43 forms a V-shaped groove 43a in a side view between the vertical claw 43 and the vertical piece 41, as the engagement position of the upward claw 43 with the hook hole 37 becomes deeper, the protector 4
Is attracted to the end plate 3 side, and the degree of adhesion at the time of attachment is increased. At this time, the notch 34 is aligned with the notch 45, the hole 35 is aligned with the hole 46, and the dowel insertion hole 36 is aligned with the dowel 44. In this manner, the positioning of the entire protector 4 by the dowels 44 is appropriately performed. At this time, the protector 4 is temporarily held on the end plate 3 side by each engagement portion. Next, the end plate 3 is mounted on the outer periphery of the mounting surfaces 21, 22, 23, 23 of the drawer main body 2 in a positioned state. As a result, the nut member 24 is aligned with the notches 34 and 45, the nut member 25 is aligned with the holes 35 and 46, and the dowel insertion hole 26 is aligned with the dowel insertion holes 36 and the dowel 44. Be matched. The screw 6 is screwed into the nut member 25 through the holes 46 and 35, and the screw 7 is screwed into the nut member 24 through the cutouts 45 and 34, and the drawer body of the protector 4 and the end plate 3 is drawn out. 2 are simultaneously completed.

Thus, according to the protector mounting structure, the protector 4 is guided by the dowel 44 as a guide to the end plate 3.
The mounting operation can be completed only by mounting the end plate 3 to the drawer main body 2 with the stepped portion 21b as a guide, and tightening the screws 6 and 7. In this state, the protector 4 comes into close contact with the end plate 3 through the engagement portion between the upward claw 43 and the hook hole 37 and the engagement portion between the dowel 44 and the dowel insertion hole 36. Even if force acts, the protector 4
Is effectively prevented from rising from the end plate 3. Further, when it is desired to extend the protection area for the end plate 3, it is sufficient to design the protector 4 to have a large vertical width and to open the hook hole 37 at a position higher than that in the illustrated embodiment. In principle, it is also possible to protect almost the entire area of the end plate 3.

In the above-described embodiment, the protector 4 is first mounted on the end plate 3 and then the end plate 3 is mounted on the drawer body 2. However, the end plate 3 is mounted on the drawer body 2 first, and 3, a protector 4 may be attached. Further, the end plate 3 may be attached to the drawer main body 2 by another means. Furthermore, the specific shape and structure of the protector can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0017]

As described above, according to the protector mounting structure of the present invention, the protector is securely mounted on the end plate through the engaging portion between the upward hook and the hook hole and the engaging portion between the dowel and the dowel insertion hole. Therefore, even if the protector has a large vertical width and a large protection area, there is no inconvenience that the protector is peeled off from the end plate, and the mounting operation can be performed very easily.
