Description

  The present invention relates to an assembling-type housing such as a cabinet, a bookcase, and furniture that can be transported in a disassembled state and assembled at an installation location.

  For example, cabinets such as cabinets, bookcases, and furniture used in offices and general homes are composed of a base, a rear plate standing on the rear of the base, and a pair standing on both the left and right sides of the rear plate. The side plate and the top plate that commonly covers the upper portion of the rear plate and the pair of side plates constitute a frame, and these parts are fixed to each other by welding or the like to form an integral type. Many.

  Such an integrated casing requires a large amount of space during transportation or storage in a warehouse, so that storage efficiency in inventory management and distribution processes is poor. Further, if the parts are fixed to each other by welding or the like, they cannot be disassembled again at the installation location.

  Therefore, various assembling-type housings that can be assembled and disassembled at the installation site have been proposed.

  For example, a structure is known in which a box body is an assembly type, and a base and left and right side plates and the like can be connected and assembled and disassembled with plate members and screws (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Similarly, the box body is an assembly type, and a plurality of fitting pieces projecting from both end portions of the end connecting member having an L-shaped cross section at each connecting portion of the base (base plate), the left and right side plates, the top plate, etc. There is also known a structure in which the base plate and the side plate, and the side plate and the top plate are respectively fitted together to be connected and assembled (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
