Description

The present invention relates to a storage device.

In general, a box-shaped storage device (storage furniture) has a storage body excluding its door, which is provided with left and right side plates, upper and lower top plates, and a bottom plate and a back plate, which are assembled into a box shape having a front opening. After that, fixed shelves, movable shelves, and partition plates are installed inside the storage body, and doors that open the front opening are attached to the side plates and partition plates.

As one example of such a box-shaped storage device, conventionally, as shown in, for example, Patent Document 1, a storage main body in which the lower bottom plate is eliminated has been proposed. In this product, since there is no bottom plate, the internal space of the storage main body can be used with a high degree of freedom, and, for example, even a vertically long product such as a stroller or a golf bag can be easily stored when installed at the entrance. .. Further, it is possible to reduce the material cost of the bottom plate and reduce the cost.

On the other hand, since the storage device does not have a bottom plate, it is inevitable that the rigidity and strength of the entire storage main body are reduced. Therefore, in the storage device of Patent Document 1, the L-shaped bent horizontal piece of the fixing metal fitting is brought into contact between the side plate rear portion of the lower end surface of the storage main body and the left and right end portions of the back plate, and is attached to the inner side portion of the horizontal piece. The upright vertical pieces are secured to the inner surface of the side plate and the front surface of the back plate with screws to ensure the rigidity and strength of the entire storage body without the bottom plate.

JP, 2011-103989, A

However, in Patent Document 1, the fixing metal fitting has a special structure having a horizontal piece and a vertical piece, and its manufacturing cost is high, which is insufficient for achieving further cost reduction of the storage device. Also, the door that opens and closes the front opening of the storage body has no part that touches the lower end at the closed position, so if the door warps due to aging, etc., the door will be displaced from its original closed position. For example, in the case of a door that opens at the left and right sides, the doors are displaced from each other, which causes a problem that the appearance is deteriorated. For these reasons, there is room for improvement with respect to the technique of Patent Document 1.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to devise a structure of a storage device without a bottom plate to secure rigidity of the storage device without a bottom plate and further reduce the cost. The purpose is to prevent the door from being displaced by securing the door stop.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a connecting member is bridged between the left and right side portions of the lower end front end instead of fixing special fixing metal fittings on the left and right sides of the lower end rear end of the storage body. To ensure rigidity.

Specifically, a first aspect of the present invention is a storage main body that has left and right side plates, a top plate, and a back plate, and that opens to the front and bottom sides, and a swing-type door that opens and closes the front opening of the storage main body. And a connecting member arranged so as to extend between the front ends of the lower ends of the left and right side plates and fixed to the lower end of the side plate, wherein the connecting member is provided at the lower end of the door in the closed position. It is characterized in that it has a door stop portion that can come into contact.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the storage main body is opened to the front side and the lower side and has no bottom plate, its internal space can be used with a high degree of freedom, and for example, a tall vertically long stroller or golf bag can be used. Even such articles can be easily stored. In addition, since there is no bottom plate, the cost of the storage device can be reduced by suppressing the material cost thereof.

Further, since the connecting member is arranged so as to extend between the front ends of the lower end portions of the left and right side plates of the storage body, and the connecting member is fixed to the lower end portions of the side plates, the left and right side plates are the top plate and the back plate. In addition to being connected with each other, the lower part is also connected with the connecting member at the front end. Therefore, the storage main body can obtain the same strength as that of the bottom plate as a whole even without the bottom plate, and the rigidity thereof can be secured.

Further, since the connecting member is used to secure the rigidity of such a storage body without a bottom plate, it is not necessary to use a conventional special and expensive fixing metal fitting, and the cost of the storage device can be further reduced accordingly. it can.

Since the connecting member has the door stop, the door stop of the connecting member comes into contact with the lower end of the door when the door that opens and closes the front opening of the storage body is in the closed position. Even if the door is warped due to, for example, the door does not easily displace from its original closed position, and even if the door opens on both sides, it does not shift from each other, and the appearance of the storage device can be stably maintained in a good condition. it can.

In a second aspect based on the first aspect, the connecting member is a long member having an L-shaped cross section having a vertical piece that abuts a front end surface of the side plate and a horizontal piece that abuts a lower end surface of the side plate, At least one of the vertical piece and the horizontal piece is fixed to the side plate, and the door stop portion is formed on the front surface of the vertical piece.

In the second aspect of the invention, the connecting member is a long member having an L-shaped cross section having a vertical piece and a horizontal piece, and the vertical piece abuts on the front end surface of the side plate and the horizontal piece abuts on the lower end surface of the side plate. Since at least one of them is fixed to the side plate, the connecting member is abutted and fixed so as to cover the corner of the lower front end of the side plate. As a result, the bending strength of the connecting member is increased due to the L-shaped cross section, and the strength for connecting the side plates is increased, and the rigidity of the storage main body can be increased.

Further, since the door stop portion is formed on the front surface of the vertical piece of the connecting member, the vertical piece itself can be used as it is, and the door stop portion can be easily formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the connecting member is bridged and fixed between the lower end front ends of the left and right side plates of the storage body without the bottom plate in the storage device, and the lower end of the door in the closed position is fixed to the connecting member. By providing a door contact part that can abut the part, the rigidity of the storage main body without the bottom plate can be secured by the connecting member, and without using high-cost fixing metal fittings, the material cost of the bottom plate, etc. The cost of the storage device can be reduced in combination with the reduction. In addition, the door stop of the connecting member can be brought into contact with the lower end of the door, and even if the door warps due to aging etc., the displacement from the original closed position of the door is suppressed and its appearance The appearance can be maintained stably and satisfactorily.

The ends of the connecting member 20 are fixed to the lower ends of the side plates 3 and 4, and the middle part is fixed to the lower end of the partition plate 9.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the connecting member 20 is one long member made of an extruded material of aluminum having an L-shaped cross section and having a vertical piece 20a and a horizontal piece 20b. Is a rear surface (inner surface) of the side plates 3 and 4 and the front end surface of the partition plate 9 (front side entrance), and the horizontal piece 20b is an upper surface (inner surface) of the side plates 3 and 4 and the lower end surface of the partition plate 9 (lower side entrance). Surface). The connecting member 20 may be an extruded material such as a resin in addition to the extruded material of aluminum, and may be a material other than the extruded material, but is extruded from the viewpoint of being inexpensive and lightweight. Molding materials are preferred.

At least one (two in the illustrated example) screw holes 22 and 22 are formed through each of the vertical pieces 20a and the horizontal pieces 20b at both ends and the middle portion of the connecting member 20, and as shown in FIG. With the rear surface of the vertical piece 20a in contact with the front end surfaces of the side plates 3 and 4 and the partition plate 9, and the upper surface of the horizontal piece 20b in contact with the lower end surfaces of the side plates 3 and 4 and the partition plate 9, respectively, the screws v are Both the vertical piece 20a and the horizontal piece 20b are fixed to the side plates 3, 4 and the partition plate 9 by inserting the screw holes 22 and screwing them into the side plates 3, 4 and the partition plate 9. The attachment of the connecting member 20 is preferably performed before attaching and supporting the doors 13 and 14 to the storage body 1, but may be performed after attaching and supporting the doors 13 and 14.

It has the same color pattern (wood pattern) as 3, 4, the top plate 6, the partition plate 9 and the like. This makeup treatment can be performed, for example, by wrapping a decorative sheet having a color pattern printed on the surface of the connecting member 20 and adhering it, or by painting or other treatment. The head of the screw v penetrating the vertical piece 20a of the connecting member 20 may be projected more than the door stop portion 24 on the front surface of the vertical piece 20a so that the doors 13 and 14 contact the door stop portion 24. In order to do so, the head of the screw v may be inserted into the screw hole 22.

Therefore, in this embodiment, since the storage main body 1 of the storage device A is opened to the front side and the lower side and has no bottom plate, the internal space thereof can be used with a high degree of freedom, and for example, a stroller or a golf bag. It is possible to easily store even tall and vertically long articles such as. Further, since there is no bottom plate, it is possible to reduce the material cost and the like and reduce the cost of the storage device A. Moreover, since there is no bottom plate, the space between the floor of the storage body 1 is opened, and compared to the case where there is a bottom plate, for example, the rear left and right corners inside the storage body 1 (the side plates 3, 4 and the back plate 7). It becomes easier to clean the intersections).

Further, since the front ends of the lower end portions of the left and right side plates 3, 4 of the storage body 1 are connected by a connecting member 20 extending therethrough, the connecting member 20 is fixed to the lower end portions of the side plates 3, 4. The left and right side plates 3 and 4 are connected not only by the top plate 6 and the back plate 7, but also by the connecting member 20 at the lower front end. Therefore, the storage main body 1 can obtain the same strength as that of the bottom plate as a whole even without the bottom plate, and the rigidity thereof can be secured.

Moreover, the connecting member 20 is a long member having an L-shaped cross section having a vertical piece 20a and a horizontal piece 20b. The vertical piece 20a is on the front end faces of the side plates 3 and 4 and the partition plate 9, and the horizontal piece 20b is the side plate. 3, 4 and the partition plate 9 are in contact with the lower end surfaces thereof, respectively, and they are fixed to the side plates 3, 4 by screws v, so that the connecting member 20 forms the corners of the front lower ends of the side plates 3, 4 and the partition plate 9. It is abutted and fixed so as to cover. As a result, the bending strength of the connecting member 20 is increased due to the L-shaped cross-section, the connecting strength between the side plates 3 and 4 is also increased, and the rigidity of the storage body 1 can be further increased.

Further, since the partition plate 9 is arranged inside the storage body 1 and the left and right intermediate portions of the connecting member 20 are fixed to the partition plate 9, the partition plate 9 is fixed to the left and right side plates 3 and 4 by the connecting member 20. As a result, the rigidity of the bottom plate-less storage body 1 having the partition plate 9 can be increased.

Since the connecting member 20 is used to secure the rigidity of the storage body 1 without such a bottom plate, it is not necessary to use a conventional special and expensive fixing metal fitting, and the cost of the storage device A is further increased. Can be lowered.

Since the connecting member 20 has the door stop 24, when the doors 13 and 14 that open and close the front opening of the storage body 1 are in the closed position, the door contact of the connecting member 20 is made at the lower ends of the doors 13 and 14. The parts 24 come into contact with each other, and even if the doors 13 and 14 warp due to aging or the like, the doors 13 and 14 become difficult to be displaced from their original closed positions, and the left and right double-sided doors 13 and 14 are displaced from each other. In addition, the appearance of the storage device A can be stably and favorably maintained. Further, since the door stop 24 is formed on the front surface of the vertical piece 20a of the connecting member 20, the vertical piece 20a itself becomes the door stop 24 as it is, and the door stop 24 can be easily formed.

Further, since the connecting member 20 is made of an extruded aluminum material, it is possible to easily form the connecting member 20 having an L-shaped cross section, which is lightweight and has high strength.

Further, since the entire outer surface including the front surface of the vertical piece 20a of the connecting member 20 is subjected to the cosmetic treatment, the cosmetic treatment applied to the connecting member 20 provides an aesthetic appearance when the storage device A is viewed from the front side. You can keep good. In particular, the makeup treatment is the same as that of the storage body 1 and the doors 13 and 14, for example, the same wood pattern as the storage body 1 and the doors 13 and 14, and the connecting member 20 looks like a wooden bottom plate and the storage body 1 and the doors. The sense of unity with 13 and 14 is enhanced, and the aesthetic appearance is further improved.
