It is not suitable, and there is a problem that installing a shed on a veranda or balcony narrows the remaining space.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an outdoor storage unit capable of preventing internal contamination by rain and wind and further minimizing the use of a space such as a veranda or a balcony. The purpose is to do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an outdoor storage unit according to the present invention comprises, as means, a sash frame and a peripheral portion which has a hollow interior and is fixed to the sash frame at an opening. The gist of the present invention is to include a housing having a portion.

It is preferable that the housing includes a hexahedron having one surface defining the opening and the remaining five surfaces defining a substantially rectangular parallelepiped space, and the hexahedron is formed of an injection-molded heat-insulating rigid resin material. It is desirable to become.

In the hexahedron, it is preferable that upper and lower sides of the sash frame are fitted into a sash at an entrance of a building, and at least one caster is fixed to a lower portion of the housing. It is desirable that the bar is fixed horizontally.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an outdoor storage unit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire outdoor storage unit, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a front view.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes four sides 11, 12, 13,
Reference numeral 14 denotes a sash frame formed of an aluminum material, 2 denotes a housing attached to the four sides of the sash frame 1, and 3 denotes a caster fixed to the bottom surface of the housing 2.

The housing 2 has a hollow interior and is entirely hexahedral, that is, one surface defines an opening O to define a rectangular parallelepiped space S, and the remaining five surfaces form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. It is injection-molded using urethane or other rigid resin having high heat insulating properties.

As shown in FIG. 2, the periphery surrounding the opening O of the housing 2 forms a mounting portion 21 extending outward from the opening surface, and the sash frame is formed by screws, screws or other known methods. It is fixed to four sides 11, 12, 13, 14 of one.

On the other hand, an outer sash sliding door (not shown) is removed from the veranda of the apartment house, and instead, the opening O of the housing 2 of the outdoor storage unit U according to the present invention is placed so as to face the same. In this case, since the casters 3 come into contact with the floor of the veranda, the lower surface of the housing 2 is located at a position close to the floor of the room.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the opening O is approached toward the room, and fitted into the sash rail 4 of the upper and lower sides of the sash frame in the same manner as a general screen door. And it locks with the well-known latch 6 provided between the sash sliding doors 5 left inside. The height of the casters 3 can be adjusted.

As described above, the indoor storage unit U fitted in the sash rail 4 can access the inner space S from the room, and can place and print household equipment and books. However, as shown in FIG. 3, it is also possible to fix the bar 7 horizontally in the space and put clothes on the hanger 8 or the like.

In the above embodiment, one of the sash sliding doors at the entrance to the veranda from the room is removed and attached. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
It is also possible to remove one of the sliding doors of the small sash window, fit the outdoor storage unit of the present invention, and place a relatively lightweight object in the space S inside.

Further, in the above embodiment, the whole has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this shape. It is possible.

[0017]

As described above, the present invention provides a sash frame,
A storage space that is accessible from the inside of the room using a small space of the veranda of a condominium, such as a condominium, because it is composed of a housing having a hollow interior and a peripheral portion fixed to the sash frame at the opening at the opening. It became possible to provide.

Since the veranda has a large part of its inherent space, it is not extremely narrow, and it uses a sash frame structure so that it can be latched against rain and wind. Since it is sealed, the stored items do not get dirty.
