Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stove guard.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a stove guard that prevents children and pets from directly touching the stove by surrounding the stove in an ordinary home or the like has been used. As the stove guard, the front of the stove is formed by connecting three grid-like or net-like panels mainly made of steel linear members in the horizontal direction and bending each connecting part upright in a plane U shape. In many cases, the panel surrounds the left and right side surfaces, or four or a plurality of the panels are connected and bent to surround the entire periphery of the stove as a quadrangular or polygonal closed shape.
[0003]
Some stove guards include an opening for igniting and extinguishing the stove and a door for opening and closing the stove on the front panel having the above-described structure located in front of the stove when in use. Many doors are vertically slidable that are slidably attached to the front panel in the vertical direction and are normally moved by their own weight to a closed position where the opening is closed.
[0004]
In this type of door, after the stove is ignited or extinguished, it is never forgotten to close it. Therefore, for example, in the type that pivots in the horizontal direction to open and close the opening, if it is not firmly closed, there is a concern that the foot will be caught in the door in the half-open state, but the vertical sliding type There was no such worry at the door.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, although the door described above has the advantages as described above, in ignition work or fire extinguishing work, it can be prevented from falling by holding it with a free hand or the hand of the person performing the work. After having been put into the opening, it was necessary to ignite and extinguish while maintaining the door supported by the same arm, and the convenience was not yet satisfactory.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stove guard that is excellent in convenience when working on a stove.
[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
1 and 2 are front views showing a stove guard 1 according to the present invention. The stove guard 1 surrounds the periphery of the stove by connecting four lattice-like panels formed of steel linear members in the lateral direction and bending them into a quadrangle to connect both ends. A main body 2 is formed. Among the panels constituting the main body 2, the front panel 3 positioned in front of the stove in use is provided with an opening 4 for igniting and extinguishing the stove (see FIG. 2). A vertically sliding door 5 that opens and closes is attached to the front panel 3.
[0017]
Further, the front panel 3 is integrally formed with a hook 6 which is located at a substantially central portion of the upper edge 4a of the opening 4 and is a locking portion of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the hook 6 is formed by bending two linear bars adjacent to each other above the opening 4 in the front panel 3 by bending one linear member. The bent portion of the member is projected into the opening 4 and the tip end side is further bent forward at an acute angle toward the front of the front panel 3.
[0018]
That is, the hook 6 has a predetermined angle θ from a pair of extended bases 6a, 6a that extend downward in an inverted C shape from the upper edge 4a of the opening 4 and the lower ends of the extended bases 6a, 6a. It is formed by inclined portions 6b, 6b folded forward at 70 degrees (in this embodiment) and a folded portion 6c that connects the upper ends of the inclined portions 6b, 6b.
[0019]
On the other hand, the door 5 is formed in a lattice shape by a linear member like the main body 2, and the left and right sides of the door 5 are positioned on the upper side and the lower edge thereof, and extend in the lateral direction. The mounting arms 51, 51, 51, 51 made of a member extend. The four mounting arms 51, 51, 51, 51 are linearly extending in the vertical direction in the front panel 3 described above by bending the front end side into a U-shape on the back side as shown in FIG. The members are engaged with each other in a state where play is ensured. As a result, the door 5 is supported by the front panel 3 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and normally the state in which the opening 4 is closed by its own weight is maintained (see FIG. 1). A handle 52 is integrally formed at the center of the lower edge of the door 5. The handle 52 is formed by bending two linear bars that are separated from each other by three linear bars in the door 5 by bending one linear member, and forming the bent portion in a U-shape to form a lower edge of the door 5. It is formed by further projecting and bending the front end side further forward at a substantially right angle.
[0020]
Here, in the present embodiment, it is a part of the lower edge of the door 5, is close to the handle 52, and is located on both sides of the hook 6 of the front panel 3 described above and extends in the vertical direction. The specific connecting portion 5a connecting the linear members is the locked portion of the present invention. In addition, a linear member thinner than the linear members constituting the other outer peripheral edge is used at the lower edge of the door 5, and the user can pull the handle 52 lightly toward the front side (front side). and is configured such that the lower edge side to easily bent by. And the protrusion dimension L to the front side of the hook 6 in the front panel 3 mentioned above (FIG. 4) is a predetermined dimension according to the amount of play in the front-rear direction with respect to the front panel 3 in the door 5 and the flexural rigidity on the lower edge side. Is set.
[0021]
In the stove guard 1 having the above-described configuration, when the handle 52 is lifted upward by hand, the specific connecting portion 5a described above at the lower edge of the door 5 immediately before the opening 4 is almost fully opened. Comes into contact with the inclined portion 6 b of the hook 6 of the front panel 3. If the force for pulling up the door 5 is slightly increased at this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the operating force F causes the specific connecting portion 5a to escape forward along the inclined portion 6b. Move in the direction of arrow B). In the meantime, after the movement amount of the specific connecting portion 5a exceeds the distance corresponding to the play amount between the door 5 and the front panel 3, the central portion on the lower edge side of the door 5 bends forward. The movement is continued by.
[0022]
Eventually, when the specific connecting portion 5a gets over the folded portion 6c of the hook 6, it automatically moves to the inside of the folded portion 6c. Thereafter, when the hand is released from the handle 52, the specific connecting portion 5a rides on the inclined portion 6b of the hook 6 by the dead weight of the door 5, as shown in FIG. That is, the hook 6 is locked from the upper side, and the state is reliably maintained. Such a state can be easily released by pulling the handle 52 toward the front.
[0023]
Therefore, when the stove is ignited or extinguished when the stove guard 1 is used, the user can automatically stop the door 5 at that position if the user moves the door 5 to the almost fully open position. For this reason, the user prevents the door 5 from falling with the free hand, or puts the hand to be operated into the opening 4 and then supports the door 5 with the same arm. There is no need to ignite or extinguish while maintaining. Therefore, in the stove guard 1, the high convenience at the time of the operation | work with respect to a stove can be acquired.
[0024]
Further, in the stove guard 1, since the specific connecting portion 5a of the door 5 gets over the hook 6 of the front panel 3 once and is locked to the hook 6, a reliable operational feeling can be given to the user. Furthermore, since the hook 6 is provided with the inclined portion 6b, the above-described overcoming operation can be performed easily. In addition, after the specific connecting portion 5a of the door 5 gets over the hook 6, it automatically returns to the previous position by the reaction force of the door 5, so that the user simply releases the handle 52, The specific connecting portion 5a can be reliably locked to the hook 6, and the operability is also good. In addition, the structure is extremely simple and a product can be provided at low cost.
[0025]
In addition, although the operativity mentioned above falls compared with this Embodiment, when locking the specific connection part 5a of the door 5 to the hook 6, without bending the lower end side of the door 5, it is only the lower end side of the door 5. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the is moved forward. In that case, the protrusion dimension L of the front panel 3 to the front side of the hook 6 may be set to a dimension corresponding only to the amount of play in the front-rear direction of the door 5 relative to the front panel 3. In addition, when the specific connecting portion 5a of the door 5 gets over the hook 6, the specific connecting portion 5a is allowed to escape forward. Absent. Further, although the operability is further reduced, for example, the hook 6 is not provided with the inclined portion 6b, that is, the hook 6 has a structure in which the tip side simply protrudes in the horizontal direction like the handle 52, and the specific connection portion 5a of the door 5 is provided. Instead of getting over the hook 6, it may be configured such that the hook 6 is simply passed once and then locked to the hook 6 from the upper side.
[0026]
On the other hand, the hook 6 is integrally formed with the front panel 3, but the hook 6 may be a separate member from the front panel 3 and may be separately attached to the front panel 3. Moreover, it may replace with the specific connection part 5a of the door 5, and the to-be-latched part latched by the hook 6 may be provided separately, and it may be integrally formed in the door 5, or may be comprised by another member.
[0027]
Further, for example, a hook having an inverted shape of the hook 6 is provided on the back side of the door 5, which is used as a locked portion of the present invention, and the upper edge 4 a of the opening 4 is configured in the front panel 3. It is good also as a structure which makes a linear member the latching | locking part of this invention, and latches the said hook there.
[0028]
Further, as a matter of course, the shape of each part or member of the front panel (main body) and the door to function as the locking portion and the locked portion of the present invention, the position where they are provided, and the locking structure thereof are described above. Not limited to the configuration described above, it can be selected as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a stove guard constituted by a net-like panel other than the lattice-like panel shown in the present embodiment.
[0029]
