[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of vertically movable storage device is shown in FIG.
Some are as shown in FIG. This lifting type storage device comprises a storage cabinet 1 and a storage cabinet 1
The storage rack 2 is provided therein, and a lifting support device 5 having a pair of parallel arms 3 and 4 for supporting the storage rack 2 so as to be able to move up and down. The storage rack 2 can be raised and lowered by rotating the parallel arms 3 and 4. By lowering the storage rack 2, the storage rack 2 is lowered from the storage cabinet 1 installed at a high place, and the stored items are lowered. It was able to be put in and out at the position. Reference numeral 6 denotes an interlocking connection shaft that connects the bases of the parallel arms 3 so that the parallel arms 3 and 4 rotate synchronously.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional elevating type storage device, the arm of the elevating support device 5 for supporting the storage rack 2 to be able to move up and down is constituted by the parallel arms 3 and 4. Therefore, the vertical movement stroke of the storage rack 2 is determined by the length and the rotation angle of the parallel arms 3 and 4, and the storage rack 2 cannot be lowered below a predetermined position. For this reason, there was a problem that the work of taking in and out of the storage rack 2 was difficult and the entire volume of the storage rack could not be effectively used.

Further, the storage rack 2 needs a corner relief 7 at the lower rear portion of the storage rack 2 in order to avoid contact with the interlocking connection shaft 6 and the bottom plate of the storage cabinet 1 when the storage rack 2 is moved up and down. There was a problem that the area was reduced.

[0005]
