Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage cabinet constructed by combining a plurality of cabinet units.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a storage unit such as a drawer or a shelf is provided,
Various side cabinets have been provided that secure a storage space around a desk or the like and allow the desk or the like to be used efficiently. For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-115426 discloses a side cabinet that can be laid out.

[0003]

By the way, these conventional side cabinets are generally arranged adjacent to each other as auxiliary storages for desks and tables even if the layout can be changed by moving them. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and can be effectively used as a meeting table by further increasing the degree of freedom in changing the layout and arranging the layouts independently, and a plurality of storage portions are provided to provide a plurality of desks. It is intended to provide a storage cabinet that can also be used as a common cabinet for.

[0005]

That is, according to the present invention, a plurality of cabinet units of the same module having the same or different accommodating systems are assembled on a base table in a state in which they are closely contacted on a side surface or a rear surface thereof. Provided is a storage cabinet in which a common top plate is attached through a gap. Here, "identical" of "identical module" includes a slight difference in size due to a difference in storage method.

[0006] Here, four cabinet units of the same module having the same or different accommodating systems are placed on the base table in a state where the rear faces of the units arranged adjacent to the side faces of the units are closely contacted. It is convenient to assemble and place the front surface of each unit and the side surface of the unit adjacent to it on each of the four sides because each cabinet unit can be used from four sides.

Further, it is preferable that the common top plate is circular and the corners of each cabinet are set so as to project outward from the top plate, and it is more preferable that the common top plate is rotatable.

When these storage cabinets are used as a common side cabinet for a plurality of desks, the depth of each cabinet unit attached to the base is approximately the same as the depth width of the side edge of the desk top plate in contact. It is preferable that the side end portions of the desk top plate are arranged on the side surfaces of the respective units located on all sides or on the upper side thereof.
