Description

  The present invention relates to a shoe storage device for storing a pair of left and right shoes stacked one above the other.

  A common clog box used at home has a plurality of shelf boards attached in the vertical direction. In such a clog box, if a pair of left and right shoes are stacked one above the other, it occupies approximately half the space when they are lined up side by side, and the amount of storage can be doubled to store many shoes in a limited space. it can. For this reason, various shoe storage tools for placing a pair of shoes on are proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 5).

  The shoe storage device described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 has a tray on which shoes are placed one by one, and upwards from the upper end of the connecting support portion standing on the front side periphery of the lower tray toward the back side. The upper tray which inclines is extended. When this shoe storage tool is used, the space generated above the upper can be effectively used by placing shoes with the toes on the near side on the lower tray and the toes on the back side on the upper tray.

  The shoe storage device described in Patent Document 4 is a Z-shaped holder in which a shoe bottom-shaped lower holder and an upper holder inserted into a shoe are connected by a retaining member, and the left and right shoes face their toes in opposite directions. They are stacked together.

The shoe storage device described in Patent Document 5 has an upper holder that has a connecting member erected at one end of a shoe base on which a lower shoe is placed, and is inserted into the upper shoe at the tip of the connecting member. Is fixed or pivotably attached. And, like the shoe storage holder of Patent Document 4, the left and right shoes are stacked with their toes facing in opposite directions.

  However, shoes stacked using the above-mentioned shoe storage device must be taken out of the clog box together with the shoe storage device, and the shoe storage device must be returned to the clog box after taking out the shoes. It was inconvenient.

  Furthermore, in the shoe storage devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3, the shoes placed on the lower tray are hidden behind the connecting support portion and cannot be seen, and the toe side is placed on the upper tray with the heel on the front side. There was a drawback that it was difficult to see and it was difficult to distinguish the stored shoes. Considering that this type of shoe storage device is used to store more shoes in a limited space, the space between the shoeboards of the clog box is not large, and the toes on the back side are hardly visible. Moreover, when a plurality of shoe storage devices are used in a shoe rack, the shoes cannot be seen from the side, so that it is inconvenient in that the shoes must be selected only by looking at the bag.

  Further, in the shoe storage devices of Patent Documents 4 and 5, since the upper shoe is stored with the shoe sole facing up, dirt on the shoe sole may fall on the lower shoe. Moreover, the storage state in which the shoe sole can be seen is bad. In addition, the storage device of Patent Document 4 has a drawback that the mounting stability is poor because the height retaining member is inserted into the shoe.

  In view of the background art described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a shoe storage tool that allows a pair of shoes to be placed on top of each other and that allows the shoes to be easily taken in and out.

  That is, the shoe storage device of the present invention has a configuration described in the following [1] to [4].

A shoe storage device, wherein the shoe tray is rotatably connected to the side tray and is held at a position where the other end of the upper tray is inclined downward.

  [2] The shoe storage device according to item 1, wherein support pillars are erected on both left and right side edges of the lower tray, and these support pillars are integrally connected by a bridge.

  [3] The shoe storage device according to item 1 or 2, wherein a rib extending downward is provided on a side edge of the upper tray.

  [4] The shoe storage device according to any one of items 1 to 3, wherein a plurality of protrusions are provided on the upper surfaces of the lower tray and the upper tray, and the protrusions are arranged so as to exhibit a shoe print shape. .

  According to the invention described in [1], when a pair of shoes are stacked and stored, the shoes can be taken in and out without moving the shoe storage device by rotating the upper tray. Further, since the lower tray is stored with the toes of the shoes visible, and the upper tray is stored with the heels visible, the stored shoes can be easily identified.

  According to the invention described in [2], it is possible to secure the contact area with the upper member without increasing the effective area of the lower tray and to enhance the support stability.

  According to the invention described in [3], it is possible to prevent the upper tray from being bent.

  According to the invention described in [4], it is possible to prevent the displacement and slipping of the placed shoe and to indicate the placement direction of the shoe.

  The shoe storage device (1) includes trays (11) and (21) for placing a pair of shoes one by one on the top and bottom, and includes a lower member (10) including a lower tray (11) and an upper tray (21). Two members of the upper stage member (20) are connected and arranged so that the upper tray (21) overlaps above the lower tray (11) at a predetermined interval. The lower member (10) and the upper member (20) are both integrally molded products made of resin.

  The shoe storage device (1) is used so that the short sides of the rectangular lower tray (11) and upper tray (21) are located at the back and front. For this reason, in the following description, one end side in the length direction of each tray (11) (21) is referred to as the back side, and the other end side is referred to as the near side.

  In the lower member (10), plate-like support columns (12) and (12) are erected on the left and right side edges on the back side of the lower tray (11). A rib (12a) extending from the back end to the other support column (12) side is provided at a lower portion of the support column (12) to reinforce the support column (12).

  An upper corner on the back side of the support column (12) is formed in an arc shape, and a peripheral portion thereof is recessed into the other support column (12) side to form a coupling recess (13). A circular hole (14) is formed in the approximate center of the connecting recess (13), and a guide groove (15) is formed from the circular hole (14) to the periphery of the corner. The outer peripheral edge of the connecting recess (13) has an arcuate shape concentric with the circular hole (14) on the back side and a straight line parallel to the lower tray (11) on the front side. Further, the connecting recesses (13) of the support columns (12) and (12) are integrally connected by a bridge (16) at the outer peripheral edge thereof. The bridge (16) is composed of an arc portion (16a) and a flat plate portion (16b) following the outer peripheral shape of the connecting recess (13). Further, the portion of the support column (12) on the nearer side than the connecting recess (13) is inclined so that the upper surface is lowered toward the near side, and a rotation restricting portion (which restricts the rotation of the upper tray (21)) ( 17).

  Further, on the upper surface of the lower tray (11), a satin-like shoe mark (18) is formed by fine convex portions, and a number of protrusions (19) for preventing slipping are further formed in the shoe mark (18). It is provided in parallel. In other words, a large number of protrusions (19) are arranged so as to have a shoe print shape. The shoe mark (18) has a heel on the back side and a toe on the near side, and indicates the placement direction of the shoe.

  In the upper member (20), a flat plate portion (22) that abuts on the flat plate portion (16a) of the bridge (16) extends from the back side of the upper tray (21). The flat plate portion (22) is bent with respect to the upper tray (21), and in the assembled state with the lower member (10), the front side of the upper tray (21) is inclined downward. The bending angle (α) of the flat plate portion (22) has a relationship of β = 180 ° −α with respect to the inclination angle (β) of the upper tray (21). In the illustrated shoe storage device (1), the inclination angle (β) is set to 21 ° and the bending angle (α) is set to 159 °. Further, a substantially semicircular connecting projection piece (23) (23) is extended downward from both side edges of the flat plate portion (22), and a circular shaft portion (at the inner surface side center of the connecting projection piece (23) ( 24) is protruding.

  Further, plate-like ribs (25) extending downward are provided on both side edges of the upper tray (21) to prevent the tray (21) from being bent and to reinforce the tray. The rear side portion of the rib (25) is formed in a triangular shape in a side view with the extension length from the side edge becoming smaller toward the back side, and the rotation restriction of the column part (12) of the lower member (20) The contact part (26) which contact | abuts a part (17) is comprised. The angle formed between the lower end edge (26a) of the contact portion (26) and the front side periphery (23a) of the connecting projection piece (23) is the same as the rotation restricting portion (17) of the support column (12). This corresponds to the angle formed by the front side wall surface (13a) of the connecting recess (13).

  Further, a stopper (27) for preventing the shoes from slipping is provided on the front side periphery of the upper tray (21). Also, like the lower tray (11), a pear-like shoe mark (28) and a number of protrusions (29) for preventing slipping are formed, but the shoe mark (28) is the lower tray (11). The direction is opposite, the front side is a heel and the back side is a toe.

  The lower member (10) and the upper member (20) described above are connected as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the shaft portion (24) of the upper member (20) is aligned with the guide groove (15) of the connecting recess (13) of the lower member (10) to align the guide groove (15). The inside is slid to fit into the circular hole (14). Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper member (20) is connected to the lower member (10) so as to be rotatable about the shaft portion (24). The upper member (20) is pivoted toward the near side, with the lower end edge (26a) of the abutting portion (26) abutting against the pivot restricting portion (17) and the near side edge of the connecting projecting piece (23). (23a) is regulated by coming into contact with the front side wall surface (13a) of the connecting recess (13), and the upper tray (21) is held at a position inclined by 21 ° from the horizontal plane.

  The above-described shoe storage device (1) is used with the support column (12) placed on the back side in a storage space such as a shoebox. When storing the shoes, the upper tray (21) is turned upward to open the front side of the lower tray (11) so that one of the shoes is placed on the front side. Next, the upper tray (21) is rotated downward so as to come into contact with the support column (12), and the other shoe is placed on the upper tray (21) inclined toward the front side with the heel facing forward. As shown in the storage state of FIG. 5, by placing a pair of shoes on the upper and lower trays in the opposite direction, an empty space above the instep of the shoes is effectively used. Can be stored in half space. Also, when taking out the shoes, after taking out the shoes from the upper tray (21), the shoes from the lower tray (11) can be easily taken out by rotating the upper tray (21) upward and widening the front side. The shoe storage device (1) does not need to be moved out of the clog box or the like, and can be easily put in and out only by rotating the upper tray (21). In addition, there are no members for connecting the upper and lower trays (11) and (21) on the front side of the shoe storage device (1), and the toes of the shoes placed on the lower tray (11) can be seen. Even when the storage devices (1) are used side by side, the shoes can be easily identified. Since the shoes are placed on the trays (11) and (21), the shoes in the clog box and the shoes on the lower tray (11) side are not soiled, and the appearance of the stored state is good.

  Further, although the upper tray (21) is inclined downward, the placed shoes are prevented from slipping by the stopper (27) provided on the front side. The stopper (27) can also be used as a grip for rotating the upper tray (11). Further, the protrusions (19) provided on the upper surface of the upper tray (21) also prevent the shoes from being displaced or slipped. Since the lower tray (11) is horizontal, the shoe does not slip as much as the upper tray (21), but the shoes are formed by arranging a large number of ridges (19) (29) to form a shoe print shape. It is possible to indicate the placement direction and prevent a mistake in the placement direction. The protrusions for preventing misalignment or preventing slipping are not limited to the protrusions (19) and (29) in the illustrated example, and a large number of small protrusions may be formed in a spot shape. In the present invention, the formation of the stopper and the protrusion is arbitrary, and the present invention is not limited to arranging the protrusion in a shoe shape.

  Further, the inclination angle (β) of the upper tray (21) is not limited, and the height of the support pillar (12), the shape and size of the shoes, and the shoe storage device (1) are appropriately set according to the placement space. do it. If the upper tray (21) is slightly inclined, the space above the lower shoe upper can be used to store the upper shoe. In addition, it is only necessary to secure a height at which the toes of the shoes are accommodated on the near side of the lower tray and the upper tray.

  Further, by providing the support pillars (12) on the left and right side edges of the lower tray (11) and connecting them integrally with the bridge (16), high strength can be obtained, and the support stability of the upper member (20) is enhanced. be able to. Although the support pillar (12) is not limited to a plate shape, the support pillar (12) ensures a contact area with the upper member (20) without reducing the effective area of the lower tray (11), thereby improving the support stability. be able to. In the present invention, the installation position of the support column is not limited to the left and right side edges of the tray, and the support column can be provided on the edge of the rear short side. In addition, the presence or absence of a bridge is optional even when support pillars are provided on both left and right edges.

  The shoe storage device of the present invention can be used to efficiently store shoes in a limited space such as a shoe rack.
