A shaft 3, which is rotatably pivoted in the horizontal direction, projects below the upper rail 1. The storage body 4 is formed into a substantially rectangular frame shape with left and right vertical frame portions 4a and upper and lower horizontal frame portions 4b. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, it is formed by assembling separate vertical frame portions 4a and horizontal frame portions 4b, and in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, it is formed by integral bending. And storage body 4
At least the vertical frame portion 4a has an elliptical cross-sectional shape. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the horizontal frame portion 4b also has an elliptical cross-section because it is integrally bent. Also, the vertical frame portion 4 of the storage body 4
The corner portion 4c between the frame portion a and the horizontal frame portion 4b is shaped like an arc. Lower end portions of shafts 3, 3 provided on adjacent runners 2, 2 are attached to both left and right ends of the horizontal frame portion 4b on the storage body 4, respectively.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, a downward U-shaped receiver 21 is attached to the lower end of the shaft 3,
By fixing the receiver 21 to the container 4 with screws, the shaft 3 is coupled to the container 4 via the receiver 21. In this way, the plurality of pairs of runners 2, 2 attached to the upper rail 1 suspend and support the storage bodies 4, respectively, and the left end of one of the adjacent storage bodies 4, 4 The shaft 3 connected to the storage body 4 and the shaft 3 connected to the right end of the other storage body 4 are connected by a connecting arm 5. Connecting arm 5
A hole is provided at both ends of the shaft 3, and each shaft 3, 3 is inserted into this hole.
The shafts 3, 3 are horizontally rotatably connected by the connecting arm 5, and a plurality of storage bodies 4, 4, . . . are connected endlessly. Here, the spacing between the runners 2, 2... attached to the upper rail 1 is set by connecting each shaft 3 to the storage body 4 and the connecting arm 5. It is best to set them at equal intervals that are the same as the arc radius of the circle. Furthermore, a connecting arm 2 is provided between the lower ends of adjacent storage bodies 4.

is installed. The lower guide tool 23 is formed by providing a pair of rollers 24, 24, and by positioning the rollers 24, 24 on the inner and outer surfaces of the lower rail 15 of the leg body 19, the lower rail 15 It is designed to guide you along the way.

Each storage body 4 is designed to be able to store items. For example, as shown in FIG. Then,
Clothes can be hung and stored in the storage body 4. Furthermore, by attaching the net basket 27 to the storage body 4 as shown in FIG. 8, items can be stored in the net basket 27. When attaching the net basket 27 to the storage body 4, as shown in FIG. , and mounting bar 2
This can be done by hooking the mesh of the net basket 27 to the hook 28 of 9. The storage body 4 shown in FIG. 10 has a net basket 27 attached to its lower part and a hanger pipe 25 to its upper part, and in this case, the net basket mounting bracket 30 is attached to the mounting screw 26 as shown in FIG. The hanger pipe 25 is fixed to the lower part of the storage body 4 by means of screws 26, and the hanger pipe 25 is fixed to the upper part of the storage body 4 by means of mounting screws 26. In this case, the net basket mounting bracket 30 is formed into an L-shape in plan as shown in FIG.
The mounting screw 26 is passed through the through hole 32 provided in the housing 4, and the mounting screw 26 is screwed into the nut 31 to fix the storage body 4. The net basket 27 is attached to the body 4. Furthermore, in this case, the storage body 4 is formed of an elliptical pipe, and as shown in FIG. The mounting screws 26 are inserted into the pipe of the storage body 4 through the large-diameter insertion holes 33, and the hanger pipe 25 and the net basket mounting bracket 30 are inserted in a state where the mounting screws 26 are not exposed. It is designed so that it can be installed. Of course, in addition to the above-described hanger pipe 25 and net basket 27, a box body and various other storage auxiliary members can be attached to the storage body 4.

As described above, a rotating storage device as shown in FIGS. The storage bodies 4 can be rotated and moved along the upper rail 1, and each storage body 4 is connected endlessly by a connecting arm 5, so that the storage bodies 4 can be moved along the upper rail 1 in a connected state. I can do it. Clothes can be hung on hangers from the hanger pipe 25 of the storage unit 4, but at this time, the clothes should be perpendicular to the hanger pipe 25 (so that the shoulder width direction of the clothes is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the hanger pipe 25). The clothes are hung, and half of one side of the clothes is stored in a space on the inner side of the storage body 4 surrounded by the upper and lower rails 1 and 15. When the storage unit 4 is moved with clothes hanging, even if halves of clothes in adjacent storage units 4 collide with each other at the corners of the upper and lower rails 1 and 15, the hanger rotates relative to the hanger pipe 25. It is possible to escape and the storage body 4 can run without any trouble. The storage units 4 can be moved by holding the vertical frame portion 4a of each storage unit 4 in your hand and pushing or pulling it, but since the vertical frame portion 4a has an elliptical cross section, you can move the storage unit 4 by hand. It is easy to hold and does not feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore, when holding the vertical frame portion 4a and pushing the storage body 4, since the cross-sectional shape is elliptical and there is a flat surface, the flat surface can be pushed and it is easy to push. In addition, in order to grasp the vertical frame portion 4a of the storage body 4, the adjacent storage body 4
It is necessary to create a space between them that allows you to insert your hand. On the other hand, by attaching a handle 35 to the storage body 4 as shown in FIGS. 14a and 14b, the storage body 4 can be moved by grasping the handle 35 without shaking the storage body 4 greatly. I can do it. Also, when moving the storage unit 4, if the bottom corner 4c of the storage unit 4 is a right angle corner, there is a risk that the corner 4c will hit the top of the user's foot. If the corner 4c is arcuate, there is no danger that the corner 4c will hit the top of the foot or the like when the storage object 4 is moved. Furthermore, if the vertical frame portion 4a of the storage body 4 has an elliptical cross section, when attaching the hanger pipe 25, the mounting bar 29, or the net basket mounting bracket 30,
Since the abutting surfaces of these members can be brought into close contact with the flat surface of a, the installation is strong and can be installed neatly. In addition, in the case of the embodiment shown in Fig. 10, a large number of through holes 32 are provided above and below for attaching the hanger pipe 25, the mounting bar 29, and the net basket mounting bracket 30, so that the height at which these members are attached can be freely adjusted. .

As shown in FIGS. 15a and 15b, for example, the rotating storage device is installed in a closet furniture formed between a ceiling 36, a floor 37, and a wall 38, and the rotating storage device is installed in a furniture closet surrounded by a ceiling 36, a floor 37, and a wall 38. By moving the body 4 along the upper rail 1, the stored items to be taken out from the storage body 4 can be moved to the doorway, or a specific storage body 4 for storing stored items can be moved to the doorway, This means that it is extremely easy to take out stored items from the back of the storage device and to store stored items toward the back.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, since the hanger pipe is installed between the left and right vertical frame portions of the storage body having a substantially rectangular frame shape, clothes can be attached to the hanger pipe. The clothes can be hung perpendicularly (so that the shoulder width direction of the clothes is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the hanger pipe), and one half of the clothes can be hung in the space inside the storage unit surrounded by the endless upper and lower rails. It can be stored in the same position as before, and space can be used effectively for storage without wasting space as in the conventional case. In addition, in order to effectively utilize the space surrounded by the endless upper and lower rails, if a conventional storage box is protruded from the area surrounded by the upper and lower rails, when moving around the corner of the upper and lower rails, Storage boxes may collide with each other and the storage objects cannot be moved, but in the case of the present invention, space is effectively used by hanging clothes from hangers on hanger pipes, so the clothes can run on the corners of the upper and lower rails. In this case, even if the protruding halves of one side of clothes hung from the hanger pipes of adjacent storage units collide with the area surrounded by the upper and lower rails, the storage units will move without any trouble because the hangers rotate relative to the hanger pipes. It is possible. Further, in the invention of claim 2 of the present invention, the vertical frame portion of the storage body having a substantially rectangular frame shape is made to have an elliptical cross section, and the end surface of the hanger pipe is applied to the flat surface of the vertical frame portion. They can be joined in close contact, making the joint stronger and improving the appearance of the joint.
