The push-in storage unit shown in FIG. 1 takes a lot of time to fix to a building. Another disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to move the storage unit to another location in the building when it becomes unnecessary. The ideal layout of a house depends on the family's living environment. For example, the ideal floor plan changes when the child is small and when the child is gone. When there are many small children, a dedicated storage unit is required for the child, but when there are no children, the storage unit is not required. If the storage unit can be easily moved and removed, it can be changed to a floor plan ideal for the living environment.

A shelf plate 3 connected to the side panel 1 and a folding door 4 connected to a front opening of the side panel 1 via a hinge 6 are provided.

The spacer 5 is formed by molding a metal such as aluminum, plastic, or the like into a groove shape, and is fixed to the floor via screws 8 as shown in FIG. Spacer 5
Secures the side panel 1 and the back panel 2 in place on the floor.
Therefore, the spacer 5 is composed of the side panel 1 and the back panel 2.
Is formed in a groove shape having a width capable of fitting the same. Since the spacer 5 fixes the side panel 1 and the back panel 2 to the floor,
The whole shape is U-shaped. The side panel 1 and the back panel 2 fitted into the spacer 5 are fixed with screws 8 penetrating the spacer 5 from the side.

The side panels 1 are located on both sides of the back panel 2 and are connected and fixed at right angles. The side panel 1 and the back panel 2 are flash panels with a decorative plate fixed on the surface. The side panel 1 is provided with a stop hole 9 for supporting the shelf board 3 on the inner surface. The stop holes 9 are arranged in two rows and are vertically separated at a constant interval. The stopper 9 shown in FIG. 4 is connected to the stopper 9 as shown in FIG. The stopper 10 in these figures is made of plastic or metal, and is formed into an L-shape as a whole, and is provided on the bottom surface of the shelf plate 3 and the protrusion 10a to be fitted into the stopper hole 9 of the side panel 1. A protrusion 10b fitted into the connection hole 3a is provided. Further, a through hole 10c for screwing the stopper 10 to the side panel 1 is also opened above the protrusion 10a fitted into the side panel 1. The stopper 10 is fixed to the inner surface of the side panel 1 by fitting the protrusion 10a into the stopper hole 9 and screwing the stopper screw 11 into the through hole 10c. The distance between the through hole 10c and the protrusion 10a is equal to the distance between the stop holes 9. In this structure, the stopper 10 can be fixed by screwing the set screw 11 from the through hole 10c into the stop hole 9. For this reason, there is a feature that the trace of the set screw 11 is hidden by the stop hole 9 in a state where the set screw 11 is loosened.

After the back panel 2 is fixed to the floor with the spacer 5, the back panel 2 is connected to the side panel 1 via the L bracket 12.

As shown in FIG. 8, the guide rail 13
The cross section of a metal or plastic is formed in a C-shape, and is fixed to the lower surface of the shelf 3 with screws 16 penetrating the bottom.

The horizontal mover 14 is mounted on the guide rail 13
It has two wheels 14a on both sides that roll on the lower surface. A suspension shaft 14c passing through the opening of the guide rail 13 is connected to the rotation shaft 14b of the wheel 14a. Suspension shaft 14
c is connected to the folding door 4 via a turntable 14d that is bent in an L shape and extends in the direction of the folding door 4. When opening and closing the folding door 4, the horizontal mover 14 moves along the guide rail 13, and the turntable 14d rotates with respect to the suspension shaft 14c. The horizontal mover 14 in this figure is connected to a turntable 14d so that the suspension shaft 14c can rotate. Although not shown, the suspension shaft may be connected to the rotation shaft so as to be rotatable. Further, a mechanism that can rotate in a horizontal plane can be incorporated in the coupling mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting mechanism 15 connects the turntable 14d of the horizontal moving member 14 to the folding door 4 so as to be able to move up and down. This is for connecting the shelf plate 3 whose mounting position is adjusted vertically to the folding door 4. This coupling mechanism 15
Consists of a vertical moving member 17 connected to the rotary table 14d of the horizontal moving member 14, and a vertical mounting adjusting tool 18 connected to the leading edge of the folding door 4 so that the vertical moving member 17 can be moved up and down.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper / lower mounting adjuster 18 is a slide rail that extends vertically and is fixed along the leading edge of the folding door 4. As shown in FIG. The up-down mover 17 is connected to the slide rail so as to be able to slide up and down.
As shown in the horizontal cross-sectional view of FIG. 9, the upper and lower mounting adjusters 18 which are slide rails are formed by molding metal or plastic into a C shape. The vertical moving element 17 has sliding grooves 17a on both sides for sliding the lip of the slide rail. The vertical mover 17 having this structure guides the lip of the slide rail into the slide groove 17a and slides along the slide rail so as not to come off the slide rail.

The vertical moving member 17 connects the turntable 14d of the horizontal moving member 14. The turntable 14 d is connected to the up-down mover 17 via a screw 19.

The push-in storage unit having the above structure is fixed to a building in the following steps. As shown in FIG. 3, the spacer 5 is screwed to the floor. As shown in FIG. 10, the side panel 1 and the back panel 2 are inserted into the grooves, and the side panel 1 and the back panel 2 are fixed to the spacer 5 with screws 8 penetrating the side surfaces of the spacer 5. As shown in FIG.
Are connected to each other via the shelf. The shelf 3 is fixed at a height that allows the most convenient use. The storage unit shown in the figure has a shelf board 3 fixed in two stages. The shelf 3 is fixed at least one step. However, three or more shelves 3 can be fixed. As shown in FIG. 2, a folding door 4 is connected to a front edge of the side panel 1 via a hinge 6. The folding door 4 is a side panel 1 on both sides.
To the leading edge of As shown in FIG. 12, the horizontal mover 14 is connected to the vertical mover 17.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the folding door 4 is opened and closed, the leading end of the folding door 4 is connected to the shelf 3 via the connection guide 7 to open and close the push-in storage unit fixed to the building as described above. Is done.

When changing the height of the shelf 3, the stopper 10 is removed, the shelf 3 is moved up and down, and the shelf 3 is set at an optimum height, and the stopper 10 is positioned on the lower surface thereof. It is fixed to the side panel 1. When the shelf 3 is moved up and down,
7 moves along the vertical mounting adjustment tool 18 which is a slide rail. Therefore, the vertical position of the shelf 3 can be easily changed.

Further, when removing the push-in storage unit from the building, contrary to the above-mentioned installation,.
Remove all parts from the building in the process. The removed parts can be fixed to the building again, and a storage unit can be provided at a desired position.

[0024]

The push-in storage unit according to the present invention has an advantage that it can be attached to a building very easily. This is because the storage unit of the present invention does not need to connect the side panel and the back panel to both the floor and the ceiling of the building, and does not need to connect the folding door to the upper frame and the lower frame. In particular, the storage unit of the present invention realizes a feature that it can be easily attached to a building and that the folding door can be smoothly opened and closed. This is because the tip of the folding door can be connected to the shelf via a connection guide, and the folding door can be moved along the front edge of the shelf to open and close.

Further, the storage unit of the present invention has a feature that the shelf can be moved up and down to be arranged at an ideal position, and the folding door can be smoothly opened and closed.
