Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to furniture such as kitchen units and washbasin units having a box-shaped upper unit on a lower cabinet.

Conventional Structure and Problems This kind of furniture has an upper unit on a lower cabinet, making it taller and therefore difficult to transport to the construction site. In order to solve this problem, a conventional kitchen unit, for example, has a lower cabinet 4 which includes a top plate 3 having an aquarium 1 and a stove 2, as shown in FIG.
The upper unit 8, which is formed into a box shape by the left and right side panels 5, the ceiling plate 6, the rear plate 7, etc., is packed separately and transported to the construction site. After being carried to the site, the upper unit 8 is mounted and connected on the lower cabinet 4. 9,1
0 indicates dowels and dowel holes provided in the lower cabinet 4 and upper unit 8 for the connection.

In the conventional structure, since the upper unit 8 is formed in a box shape, there is a drawback that the packaging time is increased. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, even after the upper unit 8 is set in the lower cabinet 4, a difference in level C occurs between the side surfaces A and B, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

This is due to variations in processing dimensions that occur between lots, which results in unevenness when the upper and lower side panels are assembled. In other words, when a previously processed product and a later processed product are combined, a difference in level occurs between the two due to variations in the processed dimensions.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention takes into consideration the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and provides furniture that can reduce the amount of packaging required, does not have a level difference between the side surfaces of the lower cabinet and the upper unit, and has a good appearance. The purpose is to

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the furniture of the present invention rotates and raises the side plate of the upper unit connected to the lower cabinet, and then fixes the rear plate, ceiling plate, etc. of the upper unit with wood screws, etc. This configuration has the effect of reducing the amount of packaging required, and making it difficult for the side surfaces of the lower cabinet and the upper unit to have different levels, thereby improving the appearance.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, taking a kitchen unit as an example.

In the figure, 11 is a water tank 12 and a stove 13 on the top.
The lower cabinet, such as a sink, is equipped with a top plate 14 having a top plate 14, and is equipped with a side panel 18 that connects the upper ends and ends of left and right side plates 15 with a pivot 17 such as a hinge, and is rotatable upward. . The side panel 18 has a ceiling plate 1 for the upper unit at the front and rear of the lower end.
It has a pair of receiving metal fittings 21 that engage with locking devices 20 such as screws provided protrudingly provided on the front side of the upper unit 9, and has upper and lower ends open at the rear of the inner surface side, and has a rear part for the upper unit. Concave grooves 23 into which both ends of the plate 22 are slidably inserted
have.

In the above configuration, during transportation, the side panels 18 are positioned on both sides of the lower cabinet 11, as shown in FIG. 2, and the upper unit ceiling plate 19,
Since the rear plate 22 can be packaged together with the lower cabinet 11 or packaged separately for transportation, the large space previously formed in the upper unit can be eliminated, and the amount of packaging required can be reduced accordingly.

When assembling at the installation site, first lift the side panel 18 upwards as shown by arrow D in FIG. 2 from the state shown in FIG. Both ends of the rear plate 22 are slid into the grooves 23 from above, and the rear part of the ceiling plate 19 is placed on the rear plate 22, and the front part is placed on the locking tool 22.
0 into the receiver 21 of the side panel 18, and the assembly is completed as shown in FIG.

At this time, since the side panel 18 is connected by aligning the outer surfaces of the side plate 15 and the side panel 18 using the pivot tool 17 after processing at the manufacturing factory, the pre-processing lot and the post-processing lot may be mixed and set. Therefore, there is no difference in level between the side plate 15 and the side panel 18, and the appearance is improved.

In this embodiment, a pivot 17 for connecting the side panel 18 and the side plate 15 of the lower cabinet 11 is provided on each end surface in order to enhance the appearance, but the pivot is not limited to this. Ingredients 17
The effects of the present invention can be achieved even if the inner and outer surfaces of the side panel 18 and the side plate 15 are exposed.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description of the embodiments, according to the present invention, in particular, the side panels of the upper unit are connected by pivots and made into a foldable type, which reduces the amount of packaging required and facilitates transportation to the site. This not only makes it easier, but also reduces transportation costs. In addition, by changing from the conventional dowel method to the connecting metal method, there was no difference in the level of the side panels, and the exterior appearance was improved.
