Therefore, the structure is simple and the assembly work is easy. As a means for attaching the storage shelves 22A and 22B to the door portions 21A and 21B, a normal fixing means 60 (see FIG. 5) for screwing the storage shelves 22A and 22B to the door portions 21A and 21B may be adopted. Alternatively, a well-known suspended attachment means may be used. FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show an example of such a suspension-type attachment means. A mounting bracket 62 is provided on the back surface of the storage shelves 22A and 22B, while a locking screw 64 is provided on the door portions 21A and 21B. Screw and fix at the demon 66. The hanging fitting 62 forms a suspension hole 68, and the lower portion of the suspension hole 68 has a diameter through which the locking screw 64 can be freely inserted. The upper portion whose width is narrowed from this large diameter portion is the head of the locking screw 64. The portion is not inserted, but is slightly wider than the threaded portion of the locking screw 64. Therefore, just by introducing the hanging fitting 62 into the cavity inside the hanging fitting 62 at the head, the hanging fitting 62 is locked to the locking screw 64, and the storage shelves 22A, 22B are attached to the door portions 21A, 21B. Can be suspended from the back. The storage shelves 22A and 22B can be attached to the back surfaces of the flat door portions 21A and 21B by any known method, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-11-71844 and JP-A-2002-364103. In addition, a metal member having a bag-like recess is fixed to the flat door portions 21A and 21B, and the end of the shelf plate having a complementary shape is inserted into the upward bag-like recess to make the shelf plate a flat plate. A structure that is fixed and used as a storage portion can also be employed. In addition, it is possible to adopt an arbitrary structure in which a storage portion such as a shelf board is permanently or detachably mounted, and it goes without saying that these are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
