DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention adjusts the front plate (end plate) of a drawer to an accurate position corresponding to a cabinet or the like when assembling a drawer,
The present invention relates to an adjusting mechanism of an end plate that can be fixed at the position.

<< Prior Art >> As is known, in order to adjustably attach a mirror plate to a side wall of a drawer having a double wall structure, a mirror plate mounting device as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11 is used.

The same mounting device is composed of a supporting member c mounted in a side wall b having a double wall structure of a drawer a, and a fixing member e in the supporting member c and fastened by an eccentric member d. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 9 (a), the fixing member e is a base plate portion e'fixed to the end plate f with screws g ..., And an eccentric member d is attached to the supporting member c. Which are integrally formed with the connecting plate portion e ″ which is fastened by the above-mentioned structure, and the respective slip surfaces j and k are provided on the facing surfaces h and i of the substrate portion e ′ and the supporting member c, respectively. The end plate f is attached to the side wall b of the drawer a by fastening the support member c and the fixing member e to each other by the eccentric member d while h and i are butted.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the above-described example of the invention ends up in which the supporting member and the fixing member are detachable from each other by the two members of the side wall of the drawer and the end plate, that is, the eccentric member. Therefore, unless the connection between the supporting member and the fixing member by the eccentric member is completely solved, the mounting position of the end plate cannot be adjusted.

Therefore, for example, when it is necessary to move and adjust the end plate in the left and right directions and the up and down directions indicated by arrows 'and mm' in FIGS. After moving the day, the eccentric member supports and fixes both members to check the position,
If the position is inappropriate, it is necessary to move the end plate again after uncoupling the supporting and fixing members, and then to reconnect the both members.As a result, adjustment of the mounting position of the end plate is extremely difficult. This is troublesome and requires a considerable amount of time for such adjustment.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the above-described conventional technology, enables the end plate to be temporarily fixed, and in this state the drawer stored in a cabinet or the like,
The purpose is to be able to adjust the position of the end plate and, after adjustment, to make mounting at that position accurately and easily.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a support member mounted in a side wall of a drawer of a double-wall structure and an end plate fastened to the support member by an eccentric member. A fixing member is provided, and the supporting and fixing members can be temporarily fixed to each other by an eccentric member, and in the temporary fixing state, the supporting member is provided to bias the fixing member side by a spring. The holding member and the fixing member are pressed against each other by the spring force of the facing surfaces provided with the slip stoppers and locked so as to be movable in two axial directions, and the holding member holds the end plate. The fixing member connects the end plate fixing portion locked to the holding member and the connecting portion tightened to the supporting member by the eccentric member so as to be movable in two axial directions. Specially formed The present invention is intended to provide an end plate adjusting mechanism for a drawer as a characteristic.

<< Operation >> The support member is fixed to the front end portions in both side walls of the drawer having the double-wall structure by means of screws.

The fixing member fixes the end plate fixing portion plate on the left and right side rear surfaces of the end plate with screws.

In this state, the connecting portions of the left and right fixing members of the end plate are inserted into the supporting members on both side walls of the drawer, and the engaging element provided at the tip of each connecting portion is engaged with the eccentric member.

Then, when the eccentric member is rotated by about 90 °, the fixing member is pulled into the support member through the engaging element engaged with the eccentric concave hole, whereby the holding member provided on the support member is held. Both facing surfaces of the member and the end plate fixing portion of the fixing member are abutted, and the holding member retracts while compressing the spring by the pulling force, and the spring force causes the abutting surface of the holding member and the end plate fixing plate. And both members are pressed against each other.

Since the anti-slip is provided on each of the opposing surfaces pressed against each other in this manner, the end plate is temporarily fixed to the front portion of the drawer with respect to the holding member via the fixing member.

In the temporarily fixed state, the drawer is inserted into a storage part such as a cabinet and the position of the end plate is confirmed here. Of course, if it is not necessary to adjust the position anymore, the eccentric member is further rotated by 90 ° and the support member is rotated. When the end plate is displaced in the vertical direction or the left-right direction, hold the end plate and shift it in the required direction, and the end plate fixing part of the fixing member and the holding member will be pressed by spring force. Therefore, the end plate fixing portion can be moved in a desired direction with respect to the holding member.

At this time, since the connecting portion of the fixing member is held at a predetermined position without being moved, the force for moving the end plate does not act on the engaging portion between the connecting portion and the eccentric member, Is held in a temporarily fixed state with respect to the support member.

After adjusting the mounting position of the end plate in this way,
When the eccentric member is rotated 90 ° as described above to the lock position, the connecting portion is pulled into the support member by the amount of eccentricity, whereby the end plate fixing portion is pulled toward the holding member side, and the holding member is While retracting against the spring force and being crimped to the supporting member, the holding member and the fixing member are also crimped, and the frictional force due to their non-slip causes them to be firmly held in the tightened state. The mounting state is secured.
