  In a space structure provided in an office or the like, it is also important to construct a storage space for storing information equipment and the like used in the office. In particular, since the object to be stored in this storage space varies depending on the purpose of use of the space structure, etc., there is a possibility that the convenience of the user will be deteriorated if it is always constant.

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention provides a storage unit for a storage space that can be appropriately configured according to the purpose of use of a user when the storage space in the space structure is constructed. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, the storage structure that provides the storage space is formed by a unitized storage unit, and the storage unit is formed by four individual panels. Then, the panel is provided with a groove having a predetermined purpose necessary for constructing the storage structure. Thereby, the construction of the storage structure by the combination of the storage units is facilitated, and the combination can be made arbitrary.

  Specifically, the present invention is a rectangular storage unit formed by annularly connecting a pair of horizontal panels and a pair of vertical panels, and the horizontal panel extends across the horizontal direction of the horizontal panel. A part of the structural member of the structure into which the structure is incorporated has a fitting groove that can be fitted, and a groove that extends in the horizontal direction of the horizontal panel and that is provided on the horizontal cover that covers the horizontal panel is fitted. Has possible alignment grooves.

The storage unit according to the present invention is a minimum unit of a storage structure for storing a storage object in a space structure or the like. Accordingly, by combining a plurality of the storage units according to an arbitrary purpose such as a purpose of use in the space structure, a storage structure according to the use of the user is formed. Furthermore, since this storage unit is composed of four separable panels (two horizontal panels and two vertical panels), it must be stored for each panel prior to the construction of the storage structure. Therefore, it is possible to keep the space required for prior accommodation small.

  Here, in the horizontal panel, two types of grooves, a fitting groove and an alignment groove, are formed for each purpose. The fitting groove provides a space for fitting a structural member such as a support for supporting the storage unit when the storage unit is incorporated into the space structure (the structure) and used. Is. Therefore, since the storage unit is constructed so as to take in this structural member and forms the storage structure, the strength of the storage structure can be ensured and the structural member is not easily visible from the outside. The design is excellent because it will be in place.

  The alignment groove provides a space for alignment so that the horizontal cover covering the surface of the horizontal panel is positioned at an appropriate position of the horizontal panel. That is, the mounting position of the horizontal cover is determined by the protrusion of the horizontal cover and the alignment groove. This horizontal cover is mainly intended to improve the design of the appearance of the storage structure. Moreover, this alignment groove | channel is a groove | channel extended in the horizontal direction of a horizontal panel. As a result, when the horizontal cover is mounted on the horizontal panel, the projection of the horizontal cover can be slid into the horizontal panel so that the handling at the time of mounting becomes better.

  Here, in the storage unit, the horizontal panel may have at least two alignment grooves parallel to the fitting grooves. By providing the fitting groove and the alignment groove horizontally, the horizontal cover can be easily aligned according to the operator's vision after the storage unit is attached to the storage structure. Further, by providing at least two alignment grooves, the position of the horizontal cover with respect to the horizontal panel can be determined more accurately.

  In the storage unit described above, when the protrusion has a connecting portion that can be connected to an external member, the vertical panel is covered with a vertical cover, and the external member is connected to the connecting portion. In the state where the vertical cover is connected to the horizontal cover, the protrusion having the connecting portion may be fitted into the alignment groove.

  Similarly to the horizontal panel, the surface of the vertical panel is covered with a vertical cover. Here, when connecting a horizontal cover and a vertical cover, the protrusion part for position alignment is utilized. For example, a screw is exemplified as the external member, and the horizontal cover and the vertical cover are connected using the screw. And by placing this connected part in the alignment groove, both covers are mounted on each panel with the horizontal cover as a reference, and the connecting part of the cover is difficult to reach from the outside of the storage structure Therefore, the design of the storage unit when the horizontal cover and the vertical cover are attached is not impaired, and the existence significance of both covers is not reduced.

In the storage units described above, when the two storage units are arranged so that the vertical panels face each other, a gap having a predetermined width may be formed between the vertical panels. That is, when the storage unit is constructed by combining the storage units, the gap that can be used for a predetermined purpose is formed. The predetermined width for determining the size of the gap is determined according to the purpose of use given to the gap. Therefore, for example, when used for the purpose of storing a power cable or a signal cable of an information device that stores the gap in the storage unit, it is sufficient to have a predetermined width that allows the cables to be stored. In addition, since this gap is formed between the vertical panels, the situation where the gap is used (for example, the situation of the cable stored in the above case) is from the outside of the storage structure. Is difficult to reach. Therefore, the design of the storage unit when the horizontal cover and the vertical cover are attached is not impaired, and the significance of the presence of both covers is not reduced.

  Here, as the storage structure formed by the storage units up to the above, the storage structure is formed by arranging one or more storage units in the horizontal direction and one or more storage units in the vertical direction, and at least One structural member common to one or more storage units in the uppermost stage is incorporated in the fitting groove of the horizontal panel on each upper surface, and another structural member common to one or more storage units in the lowermost stage Is a storage structure that is incorporated into the fitting groove of the horizontal panel on each lower surface.

  By configuring the storage structure in this way, the combined storage unit can be firmly sandwiched between the one structural member and the other structural member. Further, since the storage structure is constructed with this structural member interposed therebetween, the assembly is also facilitated. A structural member for supporting not only the fitting grooves of the uppermost and lowermost storage units but also the fitting grooves of the intermediate storage unit may be arranged.

  In constructing the storage space in the spatial structure, it is possible to provide a storage unit for the storage space that can be appropriately constructed according to the purpose of use of the user.

  Here, the Example of the space structure in which the storage unit based on this invention is used is described based on drawing. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of the entire space structure 1. The spatial structure 1 mainly includes a plurality of poles 2a to 2j (hereinafter collectively referred to as “pole 2”) and a plurality of horizontal beams 3a to 3i (hereinafter collectively “pole 2”). And a small beam 4a to 4c (hereinafter collectively referred to as “small beam 4”). The pole 2 extends vertically upward from the floor surface to support the space structure 1, and the beam 3 and the small beam 4 extend horizontally to the floor surface and connect the poles 2 or the beams 3 to each other.

  Specifically, the spatial structure 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a rectangular shape, and has six poles 2a to 2f near the middle of its four corners and long sides. And the top part of these poles 2a-2f is connected by the seven beams 3a-3g. Further, a pole 2g is provided so as to face the pole 2a in the front of FIG. 1, and a brace 5 is stretched between the pole 2a and the pole 2g. This pole 2g is connected in the middle of the beam 3a. A small beam 4a extending horizontally to the floor surface is connected to the bottom of the pole 2a and the pole 2g. The strength of the space structure 1 can be improved by the small beam 4a, the poles 2a and 2g, the beam 3 and the brace 5.

  Further, a pole 2h is provided so as to face the pole 2e. This pole 2h is connected in the middle of the beam 3b. Two small beams 4b are connected between the pole 2e and the pole 2h, and a shelf 6 is provided in a space surrounded by the small beams 4b and the poles 2e and 2h. Furthermore, two poles 2i and 2j connected in the middle of the beam 3d are provided between the poles 2c and 2d. And in the lower part of pole 2c, 2i, 2j, 2d, between each is connected by the small beam 4c. A screen 7 is formed between the poles 2i and 2j. The screen 7 is a projection surface of the projector 8 that is installed suspended from the beam 3g. In consideration of the load on the beam 3g due to the weight of the projector 8, beams 3h and 3i are provided between the beam 3g and the beam 3d for reinforcement. The signal to the projector 8 is given from a computer stored in the shelf 6.

  As described above, the spatial structure 1 is a structure configured by combining information devices such as a computer and a projector 8 and combining a pole, a beam, and a small beam as appropriate according to the purpose of use. Therefore, the spatial structure 1 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1, and is appropriately designed according to each purpose of use. Below, the detailed structure of a pole, a beam, and a small beam is demonstrated.

  First, the pole 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an external view of the pole 2, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the pole 2. The pole 2 has a shape equally divided into four in its cross section. A partition wall 21 extends radially from the central portion 20 to form a square apex P in the cross section of the pole 4. The wall surface 22 extends from one vertex P toward the adjacent vertex P. The wall surface 22 extending from one vertex P and the wall surface 22 extending from the other vertex P adjacent to it extend to the middle before both the vertices P, and they do not contact each other. Therefore, an opening 23 is formed between the opposing wall surfaces 22 and 22 (hereinafter referred to as “a pair of wall surfaces 22”). Further, a groove portion 24 is formed by the pair of wall surfaces 22, the partition wall 21, and the central portion 20. These openings 23 and grooves 24 extend over the entire length in the axial direction of the pole 2 as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, at each vertex P of the cross section of the pole 2, two outer wall surfaces 25 extending from each vertex P toward the outside of the pole 2 and orthogonal to the two wall surfaces 22 connected to the vertex P are provided. As a result, the outer wall surface 25 extending from one vertex P and the outer wall surface 25 extending from the other vertex P adjacent thereto are opposed to each other. Then, the facing outer wall surface 25 and the pair of wall surfaces 22 connected thereto form a wiring groove 26 which is a semi-closed space on the surface of the pole 2. In the wiring groove 26, it is possible to store a power cable and a signal cable of information equipment used in the spatial structure 1. Further, when the cable is housed in the wiring groove 26, the appearance design is deteriorated. Therefore, the wiring cover shown in FIG. 3 may be provided so as to cover the wiring groove 26.

  Next, the beam 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is an external view of the beam 3, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the beam 3. The cross-sectional shape of the beam 3 is almost the same as the cross-sectional shape of the pole 2. The central portion 30, the partition wall 31, the wall surface 32 (a pair of wall surfaces 32), the opening portion 33, the groove portion 34, and the apex Q of the beam 3 are the center portion 20, the partition wall 21, the wall surface 22 (a pair of wall surfaces 22), and the opening. Since they correspond to the portion 23, the groove portion 24, and the apex P, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  In the beam 3, the configuration of the wiring groove for storing the power cable and the signal cable of the information equipment used in the spatial structure 1 is different from that of the pole 2. In the beam 3, as shown in FIG. 5, wiring grooves 36 and 38 are formed only in two directions, ie, vertically upward and vertically downward. Here, the height of the outer wall surface 35 constituting the wiring groove portion 36 in the vertically upward direction (the height of the outer wall surface 35 from the apex Q) is the height of the outer wall surface 37 constituting the wiring groove portion 38 in the vertically downward direction. It is designed to be higher than the height (the height of the outer wall surface 37 from the apex Q). This is because, when the beam 3 is incorporated into the spatial structure 1, the wiring groove 36 opens in the vertical upward direction, so that it is preferable that more cables can be accommodated. Of course, it is possible to store the cable also in the wiring groove 38 in the vertically downward direction. However, since the design of the appearance is deteriorated, the wiring cover shown in FIG. It may be provided. In addition, the wall surface corresponding to the outer wall surfaces 35 and 37 is not provided on the surface of the beam 3 in the horizontal direction, and there is no wiring groove.

Next, the small beam 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is an external view of the small beam 4, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the small beam 4. The cross-sectional shape of the small beam 4 is such that the horizontal direction of the beam 3 is the same and the vertical direction is compressed. That is, the beam is thinner than the beam 3. The central portion 40 of the small beam 4, the partition wall 41, the wall surface 42 (a pair of wall surfaces 42), the opening 43, the groove portion 44, and the vertex R are the center portion 30 of the beam 3, the partition wall 31, the wall surface 32 (a pair of wall surfaces 32), It corresponds to the opening 33, the groove 34, and the apex Q, respectively. Further, the small beam 4 is not provided with a space corresponding to the wiring grooves 26, 36, and 38.

  As described above, the shelf 6 included in the space structure 1 including the pole 2, the beam 3, and the small beam 4 which are constituent members as described above is used to store information equipment and other articles used in the space structure 1. Storage space, that is, a storage structure. FIG. 8 shows details of the shelf 6. The shelf 6 is a rectangular space formed by two poles 2 extending vertically from the floor and two small beams 4 (the lower small beam 4 is not shown) horizontally connecting the poles 2. These are formed by incorporating six storage units 60, two horizontally and three vertically. Each storage unit 60 is a unit having the same size and shape.

  FIG. 9 shows a detailed configuration of the storage unit 60. The storage unit 60 is configured by connecting a pair of horizontal panels 61 and a pair of vertical panels 62 in an annular and rectangular shape so as to face each other. Further, a frame 63 (63a, 63b, 63c) having various decorative purposes is provided on the front surface of the storage unit 60. The frame 63a is a frame when the storage unit 60 is used as a normal storage space, and the frame 63b is a frame in which a polarizing plate for storing a display device such as a liquid crystal display is incorporated in the storage unit 60. The frame 63c is a frame in which an illumination device is incorporated so that illumination can be given to an object to be stored stored in the storage unit 60. These frames and other frames are selectively mounted on the front surface of the storage unit 60.

  As for the vertical panel 62, the perforated vertical panel 62a shown in FIG. 9 may be used. The perforated vertical panel 62a has a plurality of through holes 62b, and when the storage unit 60 is assembled, the inside and the outside are connected by the through holes 62b. Therefore, when the personal computer for the projector 8 is stored in the storage unit 60, the power cable and signal cable can be wired from the inside to the outside without deteriorating the appearance.

  Similarly, a frame 63a and other frames may be provided on the back surface of the storage unit 60. Further, when the storage unit 60 is not in the open state on the back surface, the back surface of the storage unit 60 may be closed by attaching the back panel 64.

  Here, FIG. 10 shows the storage unit 60 as viewed from above, that is, the surface of the horizontal panel 61. In FIG. 10, two storage units 60 are arranged side by side. The horizontal panel 61 is provided with a fitting groove 70 extending in the lateral direction (direction connecting the opposing vertical panels 62) in the center. Further, a total of four alignment grooves 71 that are parallel to the fitting groove 70 and penetrate the horizontal end portion of the horizontal panel 61 are provided with the fitting groove 70 interposed therebetween. Further, a vertical cover 72 that covers the vertical panel 62 is provided on the surface of the vertical panel 62 located outside of the surface of the storage unit 60.

  Here, the fitting groove 70 has a dimensional shape in which the small beam 4 which is a constituent member of the spatial structure 1 can be fitted. Accordingly, the width of the fitting groove 70 is slightly larger than the width of the small beam 4. Then, when the storage units 60 are arranged side by side as shown in FIG. 10, the respective fitting grooves 70 are positioned on a straight line. Accordingly, the single small beam 4 is fitted into the fitting groove 70 positioned on the straight line, whereby the storage unit 60 is incorporated into the spatial structure 1.

  When the storage units 60 according to the present invention are arranged side by side as shown in FIG. 10, between the vertical panel 62 of one storage unit 60 and the vertical panel 62 of another storage unit 60 adjacent thereto. In addition, a gap 74 having a predetermined width is formed. The gap 74 is a space that can be used for a predetermined purpose. When the storage units 60 are stacked vertically as shown in FIG. 6, the gap 74 also becomes a space that extends vertically. For example, when the perforated vertical panel 62a shown in FIG. 9 is used as the vertical panel of the storage unit 60, a power cable or a signal cable for information equipment or the like stored in the storage unit 60 is led to the gap 74 from the through hole 62b. , It is possible to wire inside. By doing in this way, there is no possibility of impairing the design of the appearance of the storage structure by wiring.

  Further, unlike the case of the shelf 6 shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to provide a horizontal cover 73 (see FIG. 11) covering the surface of the horizontal panel 61 as well as the vertical panel 62. FIG. 11 is a view of the storage unit 60 in which the horizontal cover 73 is incorporated as viewed from the vertical panel 62 side (side surface). In this case, the small beam 4 is not fitted into the fitting groove 70 of the horizontal panel 61 on the upper surface of the uppermost storage unit as shown in FIG. 6, and two storage units 60 are arranged vertically as shown in FIG. Between the two storage units 60 in the state, the insertion groove 70 that the horizontal panel 61 on the lower surface of the upper storage unit 60 has and the insertion groove 70 that the horizontal panel 61 on the upper surface of the lower storage unit 60 has. Thus, the small beam 4 is fitted.

  Here, when the horizontal cover 73 is installed on the horizontal panel 61, the alignment of both is performed by fitting the alignment groove 71 provided on the horizontal panel 61 and the protrusion 73 a provided on the horizontal panel 61. Done. By utilizing this fitting, the horizontal cover 73 can be easily installed on the horizontal panel 61. The protrusion 73 a is provided with a screw hole, and the screw hole is formed in a direction along the alignment groove 71.

  Further, when both the horizontal cover 73 and the vertical cover 72 are used in the storage unit 60, as shown in FIG. 12, the two covers are first connected to each other and then attached to the assembled storage unit 60. Specifically, the screws are passed through the through holes 72a provided in the vertical cover 72, and the screws are engaged with the screw holes provided in the protrusion 73a of the horizontal cover 73, thereby connecting the two covers. Then, the protrusion 73 into which the screw is screwed is fitted into the alignment groove 71, whereby mounting of both covers to the storage unit 60 is realized.

  Here, FIGS. 13 and 14 show an embodiment of a storage structure constituted by an assembly of a plurality of storage units 60 and a horizontal cover and a vertical cover attached thereto. FIG. 13 shows a storage structure as a so-called product display shelf. The display shelf has a skeleton structure in which a base portion 81 that is installed on the floor and serves as a base portion has two left and right vertical covers 72, a horizontal cover 73 that connects the vertical covers 72, and a horizontal cover 73 (not shown). It consists of six small beams 4 that connect the base portion 71 in the vertical direction and three small beams 4 that connect the vertical covers 72 in the horizontal direction. That is, the horizontal cover 73 and the vertical cover 72 also contribute to the reinforcement of the display shelf as the storage structure. The horizontal cover 73 or the vertical cover 72 and the small beam 4 are connected by an appropriate joint. Further, the small beam in the vertical direction is disposed in the gap 74 formed between the adjacent storage units 60 described above.

A total of 28 storage units 60 are arranged in a matrix of 7 rows horizontally and 4 columns vertically with respect to this skeleton structure. At this time, the small beam 4 in the horizontal direction of the skeleton structure is fitted into the fitting groove 70 of each storage unit. As a method for assembling the small beam 4 having a skeleton structure and each storage unit 60, an appropriate method that facilitates the assembly is appropriately employed. Further, in this storage structure, the products are not directly stored and displayed in the storage unit 60 incorporated therein, but the products are displayed on the display plate 80 provided on the front surface of each storage unit. That is, the storage unit 60 does not store products directly but stores products indirectly.

  FIG. 14 shows a storage structure including a storage unit 60 that directly stores a storage object. The skeletal structure of this storage structure is composed of two poles 2, a beam 3 connecting them at the top, and a beam 3 connected to the beam 3 in a T-shape. The latter beam 3 is further connected to the pole 2 and supported on the floor surface.
