Description

  The present invention relates to a floor-standing tatami stand, and more particularly, to a floor-standing tatami stand provided with a lid that can be opened and closed in an upper opening and having an inside space for storage.

  Conventionally, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 2003-260260 and 2002-260667 are known that have a lid that can be opened and closed in the upper opening and the inside of which is an empty space for storage.

  In the conventional example shown in Patent Document 1 and Cited Document 2, the end face of the side plate is abutted with the side face end portion of the adjacent side plate at the site, and the box is opened at the abutment portion by fixing with a screw tool. A cover body is provided for allowing the upper opening of the box body to be opened and closed freely, and the box body having the lid body is provided alone or in parallel, and a decorative side plate is attached to a portion visible outside the side surface. When the box body is used alone, a basket is attached to the outer periphery of the upper surface of the single body, and when a plurality of the box bodies are arranged side by side, the rim is attached to the outer periphery of the upper surface, and the outer periphery of the upper surface is surrounded by the heel. In this case, when using the box body alone, the outer periphery of the lid body is surrounded by a ridge, and when arranging a plurality of box bodies, the side surfaces of adjacent box bodies are brought into contact with each other and connected by a screw tool. The side surfaces of the lid bodies to be in contact with each other and the peripheries of the plurality of lid bodies arranged side by side are surrounded by scissors.

  In this conventional example, when opening the lid, there is almost no gap between the side of the lid and the adjacent lid, and there is almost no gap between the sides of the adjacent lid. There is a problem that it is difficult to open the lid. For this reason, conventionally, the lid body is divided into two members, a lid body that supports a load from above and a thin tatami mat that is placed on the upper surface of the lid body, and the thin tatami mat is The upper surface of the thin tatami mat was slightly protruded from the eaves by simply being placed unfixed to the lid body. Then, by placing a fingertip on the outer end of the top surface slightly protruding from the thin tatami mat material, the thin and light thin tatami mat is removed to expose the top surface of the lid body, and then exposed to the top surface of the lid body. The handle is gripped by hand to open the thick and heavy lid.

In such a conventional example, there is a problem that not only the work of attaching the decorative side plate and the bag is necessary on the site and the assembly work is troublesome, but also the number of parts increases and the cost becomes high. Since the side end face of the lid is surrounded, the end face of the thick and heavy lid body is not exposed to support the load.Therefore, when opening the lid, there are no clues in the vicinity of the heel. After removing this light and thin tatami mat, it is unfixed to the lid body, and then the handle body provided by exposing the upper surface of the lid body is grasped by hand to open the thick and heavy lid body. It is necessary to operate, and the operation to open the lid is troublesome.In the past, it is necessary to attach the handle part specially so that it is exposed on the upper surface of the lid body. It is unfixed and simply placed, and thin Since the top surface of the stool is slightly above the heel and the fingertips are hooked, the thin tatami can be removed with a small force by placing a finger on the slightly protruding part of this tatami mat. In this state, when something is caught on the end of the upper surface of the thin tatami that protrudes slightly above the heel, there is a problem that the thin and light tatami is easily peeled off. Moreover, in the past, since the side plates of the adjacent box bodies are in contact with each other directly below the adjacent lid bodies, the dust contained in a slight gap between the lid bodies is adjacent to the side plates of the adjacent box bodies. There is a problem that it is difficult to clean because it is clogged in a slight gap at the abutting part, and dirt is clogged in a slight gap at the abutting part between the side plates of adjacent box bodies with the lid open. is there.
