Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a partition plate for separating storage compartments such as drawers provided in furniture and the like for storing items. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, in drawers and the like provided for storing items in furniture and the like, box-shaped or plate-shaped items have been used to separate the stored items to prevent them from being mixed together. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] Drawers and the like provided for storing items in furniture and the like have storage compartments of various depths and lengths, so when storing items, box-shaped or plate-shaped items have been used to separate the storage compartments and prevent the stored items from getting mixed up. However, when using box-shaped items to separate the storage compartments, wasted space is generated, and when using plate-shaped items to separate the storage compartments, multiple strong parts are required to ensure strength while providing a length adjustment mechanism, which results in high costs.
[0004] To solve such problems, the present invention aims to provide a partition board whose height and length can be adjusted, which is inexpensive, has strength, and does not create wasted space. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized by a partition plate for separating storage areas such as drawers, which can be bent to adjust the height and length, and which has a shape in which flaps for adhesively attaching to the inside of the front panel of the drawer on both ends and a flap for adhesively attaching to the inside of the end panel of the drawer on the opposite side, installed approximately perpendicular to the partition plate. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to the above configuration, the cross section has an L-shaped structure, so that even if it is made of a thin material, strength is ensured and it is possible to provide a partition board at an affordable price that is compatible with storage areas such as drawers of various depths and lengths. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 5] Common drawer names DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below. Furthermore, for clarity of explanation, the drawings may schematically depict the width, thickness, shape, etc. of each part compared to the embodiments. However, these are merely examples and do not limit the interpretation of the present invention. Furthermore, the drawings show the positions, lengths, and number of folding lines for adjusting the length and height, but these positions, lengths, and numbers are not specified. Furthermore, in this specification and each drawing, elements similar to those described above with reference to the previous drawings are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions may be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, for convenience of explanation, the terms "upper" and "lower" may be used in some cases, but the up-down direction may be reversed.
[0009] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a partition plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the partition plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured by providing flaps 5 to 8 (the position of 7 is shown in FIG. 2) on both ends for adhesion to the inside of the drawer front panel, and flaps 9 to 12 on the opposite sides for adhesion to the inside of the drawer end panel. Note that the length and size of the embodiment of the present invention are arbitrary. Furthermore, the thickness and type of the sheet-like material of the present invention are arbitrary.
[0010] The above-mentioned flap for adhesively attaching the inside of the front panel of the drawer and the flap for adhesively attaching the inside of the end panel of the drawer, which are provided on the opposite side, can be used interchangeably to achieve the same effect.
[0011] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the state of a blank before assembly of an example of a partition plate of the present invention. By assembling Fig. 2, the partition plate of the present invention is formed.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 2, the partition plate of the present invention is symmetrical above and below the mountain fold line L1, and cutouts K for providing flaps are present on the left and right of the mountain fold line L1.
[0013] Figure 2 shows that valley fold lines L3 and L4 are provided for adjusting the length, and the length of the partition plate of the present invention can be adjusted by bending it according to the length of the object to be used.
[0014] Figure 2 also shows that a valley fold line L2 is provided for adjusting the height, and the height of the partition plate of the present invention can be adjusted by bending it according to the depth of the object to be used.
[0015] In the state where the upper and lower parts are divided by the mountain fold line L1 shown in Figure 2, the same effect can be achieved even if the upper and lower parts are provided separately, and the same effect can be achieved even if the upper and lower parts are used together.
[0016] The mountain fold line L1 and valley fold lines L2 to L4 shown in FIG. 2 may be formed by thinning the sheet material along those lines, by perforating it, or by bending it in advance to make it easier to fold.
[0017] FIG. 3 shows the positions of the mountain fold line L1 and the valley fold lines L2 to L4 shown in FIG. 2 for an example of a partition plate according to an embodiment of the present invention when in use.
[0018] Figure 4 shows an example of a partition plate according to the embodiment of the present invention in use, in which the height when in use is minimized by cutting or bending part of valley fold line L2 in Figure 2, and the length when in use is minimized by bending valley fold lines L3 and L4. However, the overlapping part, face 8, and face 13, which is approximately the same face as it, may also be cut out and used by cutting part of valley fold line L3, and this method of use may also be applied to other similar overlapping faces.
[0019] In this specification and claims, "substantially perpendicular" includes being perpendicular and being approximately perpendicular within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention, and "substantially on the same plane" includes being on the same plane and being approximately on the same plane within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.
