防止家具に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fall-prevention furniture, and more specifically, when the furniture tilts forward due to shaking such as an earthquake, the lower part of the furniture follows the moving side of the upper part. The present invention relates to a fall prevention furniture which prevents furniture from falling.

As a countermeasure, a means for preventing furniture from falling has been proposed. As a general means for this, there is a method in which the top plate and the ceiling of the furniture are stretched by a tension member. This bracing member may be provided separately from the furniture, or may be extended and used as a furniture built-in type.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】しかし、上記に示した
従来の家具転倒防止手段には次のような課題があった。
突っ張り部材の設定において、突っ張り部材が当接され

であった。However, the above-mentioned conventional furniture fall prevention means has the following problems.
In the setting of the bracing member, if the strength of the ceiling portion with which the bracing member abuts is weak, the fixing force cannot be sufficiently exerted, and there is a concern that the ceiling portion may be damaged or damaged. For this reason, it is necessary to set it at a place where a reinforcing material such as a beam material is provided. Moreover, when changing the installation position of the furniture provided with the above-mentioned tension member, it was troublesome because the tension member had to be set each time. Furthermore, the presence of the tension members on the upper part of the furniture is strange in appearance, and impairs the aesthetics of the interior.
【０００４】本発明の目的は上記課題を解消するもの

転動手段は、上記家具本体が前方に傾いたときに転動可
能となるようにしてあることを特徴とする、転倒防止家
具である。Means of the present invention taken to solve the above problems are as follows. A fall-prevention furniture, which comprises a furniture body and rolling means provided at the bottom front end of the furniture body, wherein the rolling means is provided when the furniture body tilts forward. A fall-prevention furniture, which is characterized in that it can be rolled.
【０００６】家具本体の構造は特に限定するものではな
いが、家具本体の前面の面より突出するようなもの、例
えば扉や引き出しなどを備えているほうが望ましい。The structure of the furniture main body is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the furniture main body is provided with something that protrudes from the front surface of the furniture main body, such as a door or a drawer.

Examples include rollers. The rolling direction of this rolling means is
At least the front-back direction of the furniture may be used, but a ball caster or the like may be used so that the furniture can be rolled in other directions. Further, the location where the rolling means is provided is at least the front end of the bottom of the furniture, but it can also be provided at another portion of the bottom.

【作用】本発明に係る転倒防止家具の背面を壁面に実質
的に当接させて据え付けた状態で地震が起こった場合、
家具は壁面に弾かれるように前方に倒れようとし、家具

動するので、元の状態に復帰しやすい。When an earthquake occurs in a state where the back surface of the fall prevention furniture according to the present invention is substantially abutted against the wall surface and installed,
The furniture tries to fall forward as if it is repelled by the wall surface, and when the furniture tilts forward to some extent (within the range where the center of gravity of the furniture does not exceed the fulcrum position of the rolling means), the rolling means can roll, The furniture tries to return to a balanced condition. That is, since the lower part of the furniture moves following the moved side of the upper part, it is easy to return to the original state.

とすることができない。）ので、相当な揺れであっても
すぐには倒れにくい。Further, when the furniture is tilted forward from the above-mentioned initial setting state, the lower part of the furniture is also vigorously moved forward as the corner of the bottom rear end kicks the wall surface. (Since the back of the furniture is substantially in contact with the wall, the corner of the bottom rear edge of the furniture kicks the wall and the lower part of the furniture cannot move forward unless the furniture can fall. Therefore, even if it shakes considerably, it is hard to fall down immediately.

れやすい。Further, even when the fall-prevention furniture according to the present invention is finally fallen due to continuous shaking, the function of tilting and returning before that is repeated, for example, a door of a storage cabinet. Since they may open or the drawer may come out, they are less likely to fall down vigorously with the front surface being a support, and therefore the danger is easily mitigated.

In the present embodiment, the chest T according to the present invention is installed such that the back surface 14 of the chest body 1 substantially contacts the wall surface K (see FIG. 3). When an earthquake occurs in the above-described state, the chest of drawers 1 tends to fall forward as it is repelled by the wall surface K (see FIG. 3). At this time, since the tapered portions 130 are formed at the corners of the bottom front end 10, the wheels 2,
The corner portion is not directly contacted with the floor surface by being supported by 2. Then, when the chest body 1 is tilted forward to some extent (within the position where the center of gravity of the chest T does not exceed the fulcrum position of the wheels 2 and 2), the wheels 2 and 2 provided near both ends in the bottom front end 10 roll. Being able to move, the chest T according to the present invention tries to return to a balanced state. That is, the chest 1
The lower part of the table moves following the moved side of the upper part, and the fall prevention furniture T easily returns to the original state (see FIG. 3).

できる。The fall-prevention furniture according to the present invention has the above-mentioned structure and has the following effects. (A) When a piece of furniture falls forward to some extent due to a shake such as an earthquake, the lower part of the furniture moves following the moving side of the upper part due to the action of the rolling means provided at the front end of the bottom part of the furniture. Within the range where the position of the center of gravity of the above does not exceed the fulcrum position of the rolling means, it is easy to return to the original installed state. In addition, even if it eventually falls due to continuous shaking, while repeatedly tilting and returning before that, for example, the door of the storage unit opens,
Since there is a possibility that the drawer may come out, they are less likely to fall down vigorously with the front surface being a support, and therefore the danger is easily mitigated. (B) As a furniture overturning preventive means, which does not require a conventional tension member, the setting can be performed without being restricted by the strength of the ceiling, and the installation is easy and hassle-free. Furthermore, it is possible to form furniture having a natural shape in terms of design. (C) Since the structure such as the rolling means that exerts the fall prevention effect is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost can be kept low.
