Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an adjustable closet, and more particularly to an adjustable closet that has a passageway between a side dressing room and a center dressing room, and allows users to easily enter and exit both the side dressing room and the center dressing room through doors provided in the passageway. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a closet is a chest of drawers that is attached to a wall or installed inside a wall so that it cannot be moved, and has a storage area inside where clothes or bedding can be stored.

[0003] In the storage space inside such closets, moisture can cause the growth of pests and mold, damaging clothes and bedding, causing unpleasant odors, and bacteria that grow on clothes and bedding can lead to respiratory illnesses.In addition, because closets are installed against the walls of rooms, the humid environment can cause the wooden closet structure to bend and twist.

[0004] In addition, the high humidity inside creates an environment that is conducive to the growth of mold and other insects. In addition, the back of the closet is made of thin plywood (wood), which can cause deformation and rot, resulting in odor problems.

[0005] Furthermore, existing dehumidifying structures for closets only perform a limited dehumidifying function for the items stored inside the closet, so they have limitations in preventing the plywood that forms the back and both sides of the closet from warping due to moisture, the growth of mold, and the inhabitation of pests.

[0006] Furthermore, since a closet is a chest of drawers that is attached to a wall, it has the advantage of being space-efficient, but once installed, it is difficult to separate or move, making it difficult to remove dust and other particles that accumulate in the space between the closet and the wall.

[0007] In addition, a gap is formed between the closet and the wall, and in this space, condensation occurs due to the temperature difference between the wall and the back of the closet, which can lead to mold and mildew. This mold not only affects the air in the room, but also the clothes and bedding stored inside the closet. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional closet.

[0008] As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional closet 10 includes a body 20 that defines a storage space, and a door 30 that is rotatably installed on the front of the body 20 and can open and close the interior of the body 20. The upper part of the inside of the body 20 is provided with a stand 40 for placing clothes, and the lower part is configured to store bedding or small items.

[0009] Meanwhile, various furniture such as a bed and a TV are installed in the room according to the user's preference, and such furniture is generally placed on the wall or close to the wall.

[0010] However, conventional closets 10 have a door 30 at the front for opening and closing the interior, which means that other furniture (e.g., a TV, a bed, etc.) cannot be placed in front of the closet 10, which presents disadvantages in terms of space utilization and ease of use.

As shown in FIG. 2, the adjustable closet 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120 and a passageway 130.

[0035] More specifically, as shown in Figures 2 and 7, the adjustable closet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an adjustable closet that is installed in a living room or room as a built-in structure for storing clothes or bedding, and has a space 111 for storing clothes inside, a side dressing room 110 with at least one clothes hanger 113 installed in the front-to-back direction in the space 111, and a main space 121 for storing clothes inside that is installed at a certain interval from the side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120 with a pair of main clothes hangers 123 installed in the front-to-back direction in the main space 121, and a passage 130 that separates one side of the side dressing room 110 from the center dressing room 120 to form a space and has a door 131 for accessing and exiting the space.

[0036] 2 and 7, depending on the size of the living room or room, at least one side dressing room 110 may be provided and arranged in pairs, or two may be arranged on each side of the center dressing room 120. Also, one side dressing room 110 may be installed on one side of the center dressing room 120.

[0037] For example, if the size of a living room or room is small, a basic structure can be formed by installing one side dressing room 110 and one passageway 130, or by arranging a pair of side dressing rooms 110, installing a center dressing room 120 between them, and installing a pair of passageways 130 on both sides of the center dressing room 120. Also, if the size of a living room or room is large, an expandable structure can be formed by installing three or more side dressing rooms 110 and passageways 130.

[0038] Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the side dressing room 110 has a single clothes hanger 113 installed in the space 111 in the front-to-back direction to store clothes, and the user can enter the passage 130 and select clothes stored on the clothes hanger 113 through the space 111.

[0039] Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the side dressing room 110 can be adjusted by adjusting the length L to adjust the space 111, thereby adjusting the length of the clothes hanger 113 on which clothes can be placed, and thereby freely adjusting the amount of clothes that can be placed.

[0040] 2 to 7, the center dressing room 120 is located in the middle, and the side dressing rooms 110 are spaced apart on both sides at regular intervals. A pair of main clothes hangers 123 are installed in the main space 121 of the center dressing room 120, extending in the front-to-back direction.

[0041] In addition, the front of the center dressing room 120 may be provided with a storage groove 127 for storing a TV 1, a headboard 2, or a bookshelf. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the front of the center dressing room 120 itself may be used as a headboard. In addition, the receiving groove 127 is adjustable in size, so that the TV 1 installed in the receiving groove 127 can be accommodated in various sizes.

[0042] This center dressing room 120, like the side dressing room 110 described above, can be adjusted by adjusting the length L to adjust the main space 121, thereby adjusting the length of the main clothes hanger 123 on which clothes can be placed, and thereby freely adjusting the amount of clothes that can be placed.

[0043] Also, as shown in FIG. 8, at least one center dressing room 120 may be provided, and side dressing rooms 110 may be disposed between the center dressing rooms 120.

[0044] As an example, three center dressing rooms 120 are arranged, and passage sections 130 are arranged between each center dressing room 120, so that the main space section 121 formed inside the center dressing room 120 is connected to the passage sections 130, allowing one to enter one of the passage sections 130 and exit the other passage section 130.

[0045] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the length L and width W of the side dressing room 110 and center dressing room 120 of the present invention can be formed in various sizes. To explain again, the length L of the side dressing room 110 and center dressing room 120 can be set to 800 mm, the width W of the side dressing room 110 can be set to 550 mm, the width W of the passageway 130 can be set to 700 to 940 mm, and the width W of the center dressing room 120 can be set to 550 mm. This is just one example to explain the present invention, and the above-mentioned length L and width W can be varied depending on the size of the living room or room.

[0046] Also, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the front of the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 and the front of the door 131 have the same shape and design, so when viewed with the naked eye, the appearance can be made beautiful and stylish, like an art wall rather than a closet.

[0047] 2 and 10, a door 131 formed in a passage 130 (described later) can be opened to allow free movement through the space 111 and the main space 121 so that clothes stored in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 can be selected. For a detailed description of this, please refer to the openings below.

[0048] 4 to 6, any one of a display shelf 3, a dressing table 4, a chest of drawers 5, and a storage shelf 6 can be installed in front of each of the side dressing rooms 110 and the center dressing room 120.

[0049] That is, in a studio apartment or a small room, the front of the side dressing room 110 can be closed and desired items from among the display shelf 3, dressing table 4, chest of drawers 5, and storage shelf 6 can be installed to increase the utilization of the space, and desired clothes can be selected through the passage 130, thereby enabling more efficient use of the small space.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 7, auxiliary doors 115 and 125 are preferably installed at the openings of the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 so that they can be opened and closed.

[0051] Here, as shown in Figures 7 and 10, the opening opens the space 111 formed inside the side dressing room 110, connecting it to the passage 130, and opens the main space 121 formed inside the center dressing room 120, connecting both sides of the center dressing room 120 to the passage 130.

[0052] The auxiliary doors 115 and 125 are configured to be equipped with a sensor S so that the auxiliary doors 115 and 125 can be opened and closed automatically. The auxiliary doors 115 and 125 can be configured to automatically open when a user approaches and close at a predetermined time after the user leaves.

[0053] 2 to 7, the passage 130 separates one side of the side dressing room 110 from the center dressing room 120 to form a space, and is provided with a door 131 for accessing the space.

[0054] That is, a passage 130, which is a space where a user can move, is formed between the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120, and a door 131 is installed in front of the passage 130 so as to be able to open and close.

[0055] Therefore, the passage 130 serves to allow the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 to be used by entering the main space 121 through the space 111 . In particular, the passage 130 has its bottom and walls exposed, and the width of the door 131 can be varied according to the distance of the space between the doors.

[0056] For example, if a common closet is fitted with the passageway 130 of the present invention, the passageway is integrally formed by connecting the furniture, so if the size of the living room or room changes due to a move, the closet must be rebuilt to a new size. On the other hand, if the passageway 130 is designed so that the bottom and walls are exposed, the closet can be reused by adjusting the size of the door 131.

[0057] That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the width of the passage 130 can be expanded or reduced according to the size of the living room or room, and the width of the door 131 can also be adjusted according to the size of the passage 130, making it possible to reuse the door. In addition, the passage 130 can be utilized as a secret space, such as a safe, an ironing space, or a tool display space.

[0058] 2 and 7, the door 131 is installed in front of the passageway 130 so as to be able to open and close, and may be installed as a hinged door or a sliding door (not shown). That is, the door 131 is configured so that one can enter the passageway 130 through the door 131 and conveniently use both the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120. Therefore, it is preferable that the passage 130 is formed to an appropriate size so as not to interfere with the movement of the user.

[0059] FIG. 11 is a plan view illustrating an adjustable closet according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating automatic humidity control in the side dressing room and center dressing room of the adjustable closet according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Figures 11 and 12 show an adjustable press 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the same components as those in the adjustable press 100 according to the previously described embodiment of the present invention are given the same drawing numbers, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted, and only the additional components will be described in detail.

[0061] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, a variable closet 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120, a passage 130, a humidity sensor 140, a humidity remover 150 and a control unit 160.

[0062] More specifically, the adjustable closet 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120, an aisle 130, a humidity sensor 140 installed in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 to detect humidity, a humidity remover 150 for removing humidity when the humidity sensor 140 detects humidity above a preset level, and a control unit 160 that receives a detection signal from the humidity sensor 140 and automatically controls the operation of the humidity remover 150 when the humidity sensor 140 detects humidity above a preset level.

[0063] Another embodiment of the adjustable closet 200 of the present invention detects the humidity in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 and automatically removes the humidity, thereby keeping clothes and bedding dry and clean at all times and preventing the growth of mold and mildew. The moisture remover 150 may be configured, for example, as a heater or a moisture removal filter that sucks in and removes moisture.

[0064] The control unit 160 is configured to send humidity and moisture remover 150 operation information to the user's mobile phone 170 via the Internet, so that the user can check the humidity inside the adjustable closet and the operation status of the moisture remover in real time even from a remote location.

[0065] As described above, the detailed description of the present invention has been given with respect to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but this is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, it goes without saying that anyone having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and imitation of the present invention within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.
