Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cabinet, and more particularly to a cabinet provided with a door covering the front surface.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, especially resin cabinets generally had the door connected to the cabinet body by a hinge. However, in recent years, there has been a demand for a highly designed and luxurious washbasin vanity, and in order to increase the design freedom of the cabinet, it is preferable to attach the door with a slide hinge.

[0003] By attaching the door to the cabinet body with a slide hinge, a heavy and luxurious door can be stably supported, and the freedom in the height direction of the position where the hinge is attached is increased. As a result, there is no need to match the height of the door with the height of the cabinet body, and there are fewer restrictions on the structure of the mirror holder attached to the door, increasing the design freedom of the cabinet.

[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, cabinets corresponding to various breadths have been demanded, and cabinets with a small storage width, such as the cabinet provided in the washbasin vanity described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-192814 (Patent Document 1), where the storage is divided and the door can be utilized as a three-sided mirror, have become popular. In the cabinet described in this Patent Document 1, since the mirror door is fixed with a hinge, there are restrictions on the design of the cabinet.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, it is difficult to use sliding hinges in cabinets with small storage openings, such as the cabinet provided in the vanity unit described in Patent Document 1.

[0007] When attaching a sliding hinge to the cabinet body, it is generally necessary to screw it in from the side to the component that forms the storage space. However, in cabinets with small storage openings, it is difficult to insert a power drill sideways into the storage space to screw in the hinges, which presents a problem in terms of sliding hinge installation.

[0008] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems. The object of this invention is to provide a cabinet that can be easily fitted with sliding hinges, even if the opening of the storage space is small. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cabinet with a door covering the front, comprising: a cabinet body having a plurality of wall sections forming a storage space; a door covering the front of the storage space of the cabinet body; and a sliding hinge connecting the door and the wall section of the cabinet body, wherein the sliding hinge comprises a sliding hinge body fixed to the door and a fixing member connected to the sliding hinge body and fixed to the cabinet body, and the fixing member is fixed to the wall section of the cabinet body by a screw extending from the front to the rear of the cabinet body.

[0010] According to the present invention configured in this way, the fixing member for the slide hinge is fixed to the wall of the cabinet body by a screw extending from the front to the rear of the cabinet body. Therefore, even if the opening of the storage space is small, it is not necessary to insert an electric screwdriver sideways into the storage space to fasten the screws, and the screws can be fastened from the front. For this reason, the slide hinge can be easily installed even if the opening of the storage space is small.

[0011] Preferably in the present invention, a recess is formed in the wall of the cabinet body for fixing a fixing member of a sliding hinge, and a holding portion is formed that allows the fixing member to be temporarily fixed in the recess when the fixing member is not fixed to the wall with screws.

[0012] According to the present invention configured in this way, a holding portion is formed in the wall portion that allows the fixing member to be temporarily fixed in the recess. Therefore, the fixing member can be temporarily fixed in the recess before being screwed in, and even if you release your hand from the fixing member before screwing it in, its position will not shift, thereby improving construction efficiency.

[0013] Preferably in the present invention, the fixing member for the slide hinge consists of a mounting member and a slide hinge base that can be attached to the mounting surface of the mounting member, and the mounting member is fixed to the wall of the cabinet body by screws extending from the front to the rear of the cabinet body.

[0014] According to the present invention configured in this way, the fixing member for the slide hinge consists of a mounting member and a slide hinge base that can be attached to the mounting surface of the mounting member. By configuring the mounting member to fit the slide hinge base of a general-purpose slide hinge, various shapes of commercially available slide hinges can be used, thereby reducing costs.

[0015] Preferably in the present invention, one of the plurality of wall sections is provided as a partition wall section that divides the storage space, and this partition wall section is provided with doors to cover the storage spaces on both sides of the partition wall section, and the first slide hinge and the second slide hinge that connect these doors to the partition wall section consist of a single mounting member fixed to the partition wall section, and two slide hinge bases and two slide hinge bodies attached to this single mounting member.

[0016] According to the present invention configured in this way, the first and second slide hinges are fixed to a partition wall by a single mounting member, and two slide hinge bases and slide hinge bodies are attached thereto. Therefore, one mounting member is sufficient to fix multiple slide hinges to the wall, which reduces costs and improves construction efficiency.

[0017] Preferably in the present invention, the mounting member is configured to cover a portion of the front end surface of the wall, and the surface of the mounting member that covers the wall is configured to be flush with the front end surface of the wall.

[0018] With the present invention configured in this way, the surface of the mounting member that covers the wall becomes flush with the front end surface of the wall, so the mounting member does not stand out, and the design can be improved.

[0019] Preferably in the present invention, the fixing surface of the wall portion that secures the mounting member is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the closed door, and the mounting surface of the mounting member to which the sliding hinge base is to be attached is oriented perpendicular to the closed door.

[0020] According to the present invention configured in this way, even when the cabinet body is molded and the fixing surface of the wall is inclined due to the draft angle of the mold, the mounting surface of the mounting member is oriented perpendicular to the closed door. As a result, a general-purpose sliding hinge can be used for the cabinet body with an inclined fixing surface on the wall, thereby reducing costs. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] According to the cabinet of the present invention, even cabinets with a narrow opening for storage space can be easily fitted with sliding hinges. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Next, referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, a washstand equipped with a cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of a washstand equipped with a cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the washstand 1 includes a lower storage 2, a bowl 4, a faucet unit 6, and a mirror cabinet 8 which is a cabinet. The washstand 1 is installed in a wash space such as a dressing room or a washroom, for example.

[0025] The lower storage 2 is installed on the floor surface, for example, and is disposed below the bowl 4 to support the bowl 4.

[0026] Bowl 4 is formed in a concave shape that slopes downwards and is supported from below by the lower storage unit 2. Bowl 4 has a drain outlet (not shown) at its bottom, which is connected to a drain pipe (not shown). Hot water poured into bowl 4 flows through the drain outlet into the drain pipe.

[0027] The faucet unit 6 is positioned above the bowl 4. The faucet unit 6 includes a spout 6a for discharging hot and cold water toward the bowl 4, and a handle 6b for discharging hot and cold water from the spout 6a.

[0028] Next, the configuration of the mirror cabinet 8 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the mirror cabinet with the door open. Figure 3 is a magnified perspective view showing the sliding hinge to which the mirror door of the mirror cabinet is attached.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the mirror cabinet 8 is installed above the bowl 4. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the mirror cabinet 8 comprises a cabinet body 10, a mirror door 12 which covers the front of the cabinet body 10, and a sliding hinge 14 which connects the cabinet body 10 and the mirror door 12.

[0030] The cabinet body 10 is formed in a box shape with an open front due to multiple walls, and has a storage space S inside that can store items such as toiletries and hair dryers. Specifically, the cabinet body 10 has an upper wall 16a, a lower wall 16b, and two side walls 16c and 16d on both sides that form the storage space S, and this storage space S is divided into three spaces by two partition walls 18 and 19 that extend in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, each wall of the cabinet body 10 is made of resin, but it may also be made of wood.

[0031] The mirror door 12 is provided to cover the front of the storage space S of the cabinet body 10. The mirror cabinet 8 has three mirror doors 12, and each of these mirror doors 12 is attached to the cabinet body 10 so as to be openable and closable by two sliding hinges 14. When closed, the mirror door 12 covers the front of the storage space S of the cabinet body 10, and when open, the storage space S is opened. In addition, by closing the center of the three mirror doors 12 and opening the mirror doors 12 on both sides at an appropriate angle, the three mirror doors 12 can be used as a three-way mirror. In this embodiment, the parts of the mirror door 12 other than the mirror are made of resin, but they may also be made of wood.

[0032] The sliding hinge 14 connects the mirror door 12 to the wall of the cabinet body 10, allowing the mirror door 12 to be opened and closed. Figure 3 shows a close-up of the sliding hinge 14 connecting the partition wall 18 of the wall and the mirror door 12.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, the slide hinge 14 consists of a slide hinge body 20 and a fixing member 22 connected to the slide hinge body 20. Furthermore, the fixing member 22 consists of a mounting member 24 fixed to the wall of the cabinet body 10 and a slide hinge base 26 that can be attached to the mounting surface 24a of the mounting member 24. That is, the slide hinge body 20 is attached to the mounting member 24 via the slide hinge base 26. In this specification, the front of the cabinet body means the surface of the cabinet body covered by the mirror door 12, and the rear means the direction from the front of the cabinet body toward the back. In this embodiment, the slide hinge body 20 and the slide hinge base 26 are made of metal, and the mounting member 24 is made of resin.

[0034] In this way, the mirror door 12 is fixed to the wall by the slide hinge 14, creating a storage space S, and the mirror door 12 can be opened and closed relative to the cabinet body 10. In this specification, "slide hinge" refers to a hinge that connects the door to the wall so that it can rotate via multiple hinge parts, and by using multiple hinge parts, it is possible to achieve more complex movements than a "pivot hinge" which connects the door via a single hinge part.

[0035] Next, with reference to Figures 4 to 7, the assembly procedure for the mirror cabinet 8 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 4 is a magnified perspective view of the portion of the cabinet body 10 to which the slide hinges 14 are attached. Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the fixing members 22 of each slide hinge 14 attached to the cabinet body 10. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing members attached to the partition wall portion 19. Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the attachment of the mirror door 12 to the cabinet body 10.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4, a recess 18a is provided in the partition wall portion 18 of the cabinet body 10 to which the slide hinge 14 is attached. The recess 18a has a substantially rectangular bottom surface 18b and extends rearward from the front end surface 18d of the partition wall portion 18. The fixing member 22 for the slide hinge 14 is placed in this recess 18a and fixed with screws. As described above, the fixing member 22 consists of a mounting member 24 and a slide hinge base 26 attached thereto, and the mounting member 24 of the fixing member 22 is installed in the recess 18a of the partition wall portion 18. Therefore, the bottom surface 18b functions as a fixing surface of the partition wall portion 18 to which the mounting member 24 is attached.

[0037] The mounting member 24 is a plate-shaped member bent in a roughly crank shape, and consists of a front portion 24b, an intermediate portion 24c, and a rear portion 24d. The mounting member 24 is positioned so that its intermediate portion 24c follows the bottom surface of the recess 18a, and its front portion 24b covers a part of the front end surface 18d of the partition wall portion 18. Also, as shown in Figure 4, the portion of the front end surface 18d of the partition wall portion 18 that is covered by the front portion 24b is formed lower by the thickness of the front portion 24b. Therefore, when the mounting member 24 is attached to the partition wall portion 18, the height of the surface of the front portion 24b and the portion of the front end surface 18d of the partition wall portion 18 that is not covered by the front portion 24b become equal, and the surface of the front portion 24b and the front end surface 18d of the partition wall portion 18 become flush.

[0038] Furthermore, a slide hinge base 26 is fixed to the mounting surface 24a on the front side of the intermediate portion 24c with two screws. The slide hinge base 26 has a connecting portion to which the slide hinge body 20 is connected, and flange portions extending on both sides thereof, and the slide hinge base 26 is fixed to the mounting surface 24a of the mounting member 24 with screws at these flange portions. In addition, two cylindrical protrusions 24e are provided on the rear side of the rear portion 24d so as to protrude toward the rear of the cabinet body 10. Furthermore, the front portion 24b is provided with two holes 24f through which screws for fixing the fixing member 22 to the cabinet body 10 are passed.

[0039] On the other hand, the inner surface of the recess 18a of the partition wall portion 18 is provided with two retaining portions 18c for receiving the projections 24e of the mounting member 24. By inserting each projection 24e into these retaining portions 18c, the fixing member 22 can be temporarily fixed to the recess 18a even when the fixing member 22 is not fixed to the partition wall portion 18 with screws.

[0040] Next, with the fixing member 22 (mounting member 24 and slide hinge base 26) temporarily fixed to the recess 18a of the partition wall 18, the mounting member 24 is fixed to the partition wall 18 with two screws 28 through the hole 24f of the mounting member 24. These screws 28 are screwed in so that they extend from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 10, and the fixing member 22 is fixed to the partition wall 18 of the cabinet body 10. Here, since each screw 28 extends from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 10, it can be screwed in by applying a tool such as an electric screwdriver (not shown) from the front side to the back side of the mirror cabinet 8. For this reason, regardless of the size of the storage space S of the mirror cabinet 8, the tip of the screwdriver can be easily applied to the head of the screw 28, and the slide hinge 14 (fixing member 22) can be attached to the cabinet body 10. In this embodiment, a tapping screw is used as the screw 28, but the present invention can also be configured to fix the slide hinge 14 by screwing a male screw into a female screw (not shown) that is pre-provided in the partition wall portion 18.

[0041] Next, Figure 5 shows the state in which six fixing members 22 are attached to the partition wall section of the cabinet body 10. Here, two fixing members 22 are attached to the partition wall section 18 to which one mirror door 12 is attached, and four fixing members 22 are attached to the partition wall section 19 to which two mirror doors 12 are attached. That is, since the partition wall section 19 is provided with mirror doors 12 to cover the storage spaces on both sides, four fixing members 22 are attached to mount the two mirror doors 12. The six fixing members 22 attached to the cabinet body 10 are basically the same configuration as the fixing members 22 described with reference to Figure 4, but the fixing members 22 attached to the partition wall section 19 have a different configuration of mounting members.

[0042] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing member 22 attached to the partition wall 19. In the fixing member 22 attached to the partition wall 18, as explained in Figure 4, the mounting member 24 was a plate-shaped member bent into a crank shape. In contrast, two fixing members 22 are attached to each side of the partition wall 19, facing each other. Therefore, the mounting members of the two fixing members 22 attached facing each other are integrated and constitute a single common mounting member 30. That is, the first and second slide hinges 14 attached facing each other to the partition wall 19 consist of a single common mounting member 30 fixed to the partition wall 19, and two slide hinge bases 26 and slide hinge bodies 20 attached thereto.

[0043] As shown in Figure 6, the common mounting member 30 is a plate-shaped member bent into a roughly U-shaped cross-section, and has a front portion 30b that covers a part of the front end surface 19d of the partition wall portion 19, two intermediate portions 30c connected to both sides thereof, and two rear portions 30d connected to the ends of each intermediate portion 30c. Furthermore, the outer surface of each intermediate portion 30c constitutes a mounting surface 30a for attaching the slide hinge base 26. In addition, two cylindrical protrusions 30e are provided on the back side of each rear portion 30d. These protrusions 30e can be inserted into the retaining portions 19c provided in the recesses 19a of the partition wall portion 19, and the two integrated fixing members 22 can be temporarily fixed in place.

[0044] Furthermore, the front section 30b is provided with four holes 30f through which screws for fixing the two integrated fixing members 22 to the cabinet body 10 are passed (only two are shown in Figure 6). Since each of the screws 28 inserted into these four holes 30f also extends from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 10, the fixing members 22 can be easily attached to the cabinet body 10 using a tool such as an electric screwdriver (not shown).

[0045] As described above, the front portion 30b of the common mounting member 30 is configured to cover a part of the front end surface 19d of the partition wall portion 19. Furthermore, the portion of the front end surface 19d that is covered by the front portion 30b is formed lower by the thickness of the front portion 30b, and the front portion 30b is recessed into this portion. Therefore, similar to the mounting member 24, the common mounting member 30 is also configured so that when it is attached to the cabinet body 10, the front portion 30b is flush with the front end surface 19d of the partition wall portion 19. In other words, when the common mounting member 30 is attached to the partition wall portion 19, the surface of the front portion 30b of the common mounting member 30 and the portion of the front end surface 19d of the partition wall portion 19 that is not covered by the front portion 30b are at the same height.

[0046] Furthermore, the sides 19e of the partition wall 19 facing the storage space S have a draft angle, and the thickness of the partition wall 19 is configured to become thinner towards the front end surface 19d. In addition, the partition wall 19 is also provided with a recess 19a, similar to the partition wall 18, and the bottom surface 19b of this recess 19a is also inclined in the same way as the sides 19e due to the draft angle. That is, the bottom surface 19b of the recess 19a of the partition wall 19 is inclined with respect to a plane P perpendicular to the mirror door 12 when it is closed. The back side of the intermediate portion 30c of the common mounting member 30 abuts against the bottom surface 19b of the recess 19a, and the common mounting member 30 is fixed to the partition wall 19. Therefore, the bottom surface 19b of the recess 19a functions as a fixing surface of the partition wall 19 that fixes the common mounting member 30.

[0047] Here, the intermediate portion 30c of the common mounting member 30 is configured to correct the inclination of the bottom surface 19b of the recess 19a due to the draft angle. That is, the intermediate portion 30c of the common mounting member 30 has a tapered shape that narrows towards the rear in order to correct the draft angle. By correcting the draft angle, the outer mounting surface 30a of the intermediate portion 30c is oriented perpendicular to the mirror door 12 in the closed state. Therefore, the slide hinge base 26 of the fixing member 22 is attached to the mounting surface 30a of the common mounting member 30 which is parallel to the plane P oriented perpendicular to the mirror door 12 in the closed state. In other words, by attaching the slide hinge base 26 to the mounting surface 30a of the common mounting member 30 which is oriented perpendicular to the mirror door 12 in the closed state, the mirror door 12 can be opened and closed smoothly.

[0048] Furthermore, similar to the shared mounting member 30, the mounting member 24 attached to the partition wall 18 is also configured to correct the draft angle. That is, the bottom surface 18b, which is the fixed surface of the recess 18a provided in the partition wall 18, is also inclined with respect to a plane P perpendicular to the mirror door 12 when it is closed. By attaching the mounting member 24 to this bottom surface 18b, the slope is corrected, and the mounting surface 24a to which the slide hinge base 26 is attached is oriented perpendicular to the mirror door 12 when it is closed. Moreover, commercially available general slide hinges are configured so that the slide hinge base is oriented perpendicular to the door to which the slide hinge body is attached. Therefore, by correcting the inclination of the fixed surface so that the mounting surface to which the slide hinge base is attached is perpendicular to the door, it becomes possible to use a general-purpose slide hinge.

[0049] As shown in Figure 5, after attaching the fixing members 22 for the slide hinges 14 to the cabinet body 10, the three mirror doors 12 are attached to each of them. That is, as shown in Figure 7, the slide hinge bodies 20 of each slide hinge 14 are attached to the predetermined positions on the mirror doors 12. Next, the slide hinge bodies 20 attached to the mirror doors 12 are connected to the slide hinge bases 26 of the fixing members 22 that were previously attached to the cabinet body 10. In this way, each mirror door 12 is attached to the cabinet body 10 so that it can be opened and closed, and the mirror cabinet 8 is completed.

[0050] According to the mirror cabinet 8 of the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing member 22 of the slide hinge 14 is fixed to the partition walls 18 and 19 of the cabinet body 10 by a screw 28 extending from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 10. Therefore, even if the opening of the storage space S is small, it is not necessary to insert an electric screwdriver sideways into the storage space S to fasten the screws, and the screws can be fastened from the front. For this reason, the slide hinge 14 can be easily installed even if the opening of the storage space S is small.

[0051] Furthermore, according to the mirror cabinet 8 of this embodiment, holding parts 18c and 19c are formed in the partition wall parts 18 and 19 respectively, which allow the fixing member 22 to be temporarily fixed in the recesses 18a and 19a. This allows the fixing member 22 to be temporarily fixed in the recesses 18a and 19a before being screwed in, and prevents the fixing member 22 from shifting position even if you release your hand from it before screwing it in, thereby improving construction efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, according to the mirror cabinet 8 of this embodiment, the fixing member 22 for the slide hinge 14 is composed of mounting members 24 and 30 and a slide hinge base 26 that can be attached to the mounting surfaces 24a and 30a of these mounting members. Therefore, by configuring the mounting members 24 and 30 to fit the slide hinge base 26 of a general-purpose slide hinge 14, various shapes of commercially available slide hinges can be used, thereby reducing costs.

[0053] Furthermore, according to the mirror cabinet 8 of this embodiment, the first and second slide hinges 14, which are fixed adjacent to each other with the partition wall 19 in between, can be fixed to the partition wall 19 via a single common mounting member 30, thereby reducing costs and improving construction efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, according to the mirror cabinet 8 of this embodiment, the shared mounting member 30 is configured to cover a portion of the front end surface 19d of the partition wall portion 19, and the surface of the shared mounting member 30 that covers the partition wall portion 19 is flush with the front end surface 19d, so the mounting member does not stand out, and the design can be improved.

[0055] Furthermore, according to the mirror cabinet 8 of this embodiment, even when the cabinet body is molded and the fixing surface (bottom surface 19b) of the partition wall 19 is inclined due to the draft angle of the mold, the mounting surface 30a of the common mounting member 30 is oriented perpendicular to the closed mirror door 12. As a result, a general-purpose sliding hinge 14 can be used for the cabinet body 10, even though the fixing surface of the partition wall 19 is inclined, thereby reducing costs.

[0056] While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications can be made to the embodiments described above. In particular, although the cabinet in the embodiments described above is a cabinet provided in a washbasin vanity, the present invention can be applied to any cabinet with a door covering the front, such as a cabinet used independently or a cabinet embedded in the wall of a building. Furthermore, although the door in the embodiments described above was a mirrored door equipped with a mirror, the present invention can be applied to any cabinet with a normal door without a mirror. Moreover, although the door in the cabinet of the embodiments described above was attached to a partition wall that forms a storage space, the present invention can also be applied to a cabinet with a door attached to a side wall, upper wall, or lower wall in addition to a partition wall.
