DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an installation state of a storage shelves (hereinafter simply referred to as "storage shelves") 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. . The storage shelf 1 is mounted on a wall above a base cabinet G provided with a sink H, a range J and the like arranged in the kitchen. The main body 2 of the storage shelf 1 includes a top plate 3, a middle shelf 4. , And the lower shelf 5 are integrally connected by a frame 7. The height position of the storage shelf 1 is set so that a worker can reach the top plate 3 or at least the middle shelf 4. Each of the top plate 3, the middle shelf 4 and the lower shelf 5 is composed of a plurality of draining rods 6 arranged at appropriate intervals, and has translucency and water permeability. The left and right sides of the main body 2 are open, and the air permeability is enhanced. A door 8 that can move in the left-right direction is provided on the front surface of the main body 2.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a guide rail 9 is attached as a guide to the upper end edge of the front surface of the storage shelf main body 2, and rollable rollers 10 provided at the upper end of the door 8 are provided.
By fitting 10 into the guide rail 9, the door 8 can be moved along the guide rail 9.
The size of the door 8 is not particularly limited.
It is desirable that the dimensions be such that they cover about one quarter to one half of the area of the front surface.

An example of use of the storage shelf 1 of the present invention configured as described above will be described below. The top plate 3 is used as a display shelf or a storage space for articles that are relatively infrequently used. The middle shelf 4 is a storage space for daily-used dishes and cooking utensils, etc., but in some cases, can be used as a drain shelf for washed articles. The lower shelf 5 is mainly used as a draining shelf for washed dishes, cooking utensils, cutting boards, etc., but is also used as a temporary storage place for ingredients and seasonings during cooking. When the lower shelf 5 is formed by arranging a plurality of draining sticks 6 as described above, it is possible to spread the towels or cloths on the draining sticks 6 or hang hanging cooking utensils such as ladles. Becomes
Since the door 8 is set so as not to cover the entire front surface of the storage shelf 1 but to cover only a part thereof, it is easy to confirm the location and type of the stored articles. In addition, if necessary, it is also possible to collect objects that are inconvenient for viewing at one place and hide them behind the door 8. Since the left and right sides of the main body 2 are open, the air permeability is good, and there is no danger of moisture being trapped.

Further, in the storage shelf 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a lighting fixture L can be provided above the wall W to which the storage shelf 1 is attached. In the conventional upper cabinet C (see FIG. 6), since the top plate portion and the shelf portion do not transmit light, the lower region cannot be illuminated when a lighting fixture is attached to a wall surface above it. However, in the present invention, since the top plate 3, the middle shelf 4, and the lower shelf 5 of the storage shelf 1 are all formed by the draining rods 6 and have translucency,
The light projected from the lighting fixture L attached to the wall surface W above the storage shelf main body 2 can reach the area below the storage shelf 1. The middle shelf 4 and the lower shelf 5
When the articles are stored in the lighting device L, the stored articles are illuminated by the light of the lighting device L, so that an advantage that identification becomes easy is obtained. In this case, it is conceivable that the rear surface of the door 8 is formed to have a property such as a mirror surface capable of reflecting light.

[Second Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of doors 8 can be attached to the front surface of the storage shelf main body 2. In this example, the door 8 is divided into a plurality of portions 8a, 8a.
B, 8c, and 8d, as shown in FIG. 3B, an L-shaped projection (or ridge) is formed at both left and right ends of the door portion 8a located on the most front side, and the door portions 8b to 8d are formed. For L, an L-shaped projection (or ridge) was formed at the right end, and a T-shaped projection (or ridge) was formed at the left end. The projections (or ridges) of the adjacent door portions 8a to 8d are set so that they can engage with each other. With this configuration, the door portions 8a to 8d can be moved in conjunction with each other.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 5 shows a different embodiment relating to a door 8 provided on the front surface of the storage shelf 1. As shown in FIG. 2A, the door 8 has a front portion 11 having an inclined surface and a concave portion 12 provided between a lower edge 8a and the front portion 11, so that a book, a panel, or the like can be provided on the front portion 11. You can lean on it. In this case, the door 8 is made of a transparent member, and usually, the inside of the storage shelf 1 can be seen through the door 8, and when it is desired to cover and hide the storage items on the back side of the door 8, a book, a panel, or the like is placed on the front portion 11. A use mode of leaning against is possible.

If the front portion 13 of the door 8 is made of a material such as a steel plate to which a magnet such as a steel plate can be attached by magnetic force, a memo or the like can be fixed to the front portion 13 by a magnet. Becomes Alternatively, when the front portion 13 is made of a cork board or a wooden board, a memo or the like can be attached to the front portion 13 with a thumbtack, a pin, or the like. Further, the front portion 13 may be a so-called white board so that writing can be performed with a felt pen or the like.

[Other Embodiments] The storage shelf according to the present invention is applicable to various applications other than those described above. For example, the number of shelves can be changed.
Conversely, the middle shelf can be omitted. The configuration of the top plate and the shelf may be a net, other than the configuration in which the illustrated drainers are arranged. Further, since water permeability is not necessarily required for the top plate portion, a transparent plate or a translucent plate made of glass or plastic may be used. For the door,
It is desirable to set the size so as to cover a part of the front surface of the storage shelf, but it is not impeded that a plurality of sheets are provided to cover the entire front surface of the storage shelf. In addition, the present invention can be appropriately changed depending on the implementation situation.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the shelves of the storage shelves are made permeable so that they can be used as draining shelves.
A large shelf area can be obtained. Therefore, not only can it be used as a draining shelf, but also it can be used as a temporary storage place for foodstuffs and cooking utensils during cooking and the like. In addition, since the door that covers the front surface of the main body is provided, the stored articles can be hidden behind the door as needed to improve the appearance. In addition, since the top plate and the shelf are made translucent, it is possible to reach the lower area of the storage shelf with a lighting device provided above the wall surface on which the storage shelf is mounted. Further, by opening the left and right sides of the main body, the air permeability can be improved, and moisture can be prevented from being trapped.

By adopting a structure in which the door is movably hung by a guide attached to the front upper end of the main body, the door mounting structure can be simplified. Furthermore, when the size of the door is set so as to cover only a part of the front surface of the main body of the storage unit, there is an advantage that it is easy to confirm the type and arrangement of the storage items.
