[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a storage box A of the present invention attached to the bottom of a hanging cabinet B via left and right fixtures 4 and held in a forward tilted posture. Is a box with an opening, and a storage chamber 1 is located in the center, and auxiliary walls 2 and 2 are provided by partitioning the left and right sides of the storage chamber with partition walls 3 and 3, and the lower center of the front wall 1a. Is provided with a handle 1a ', and the rear wall 1b of the auxiliary chamber 2 is provided with a notch so that the fixture 4 and the rear link 6 do not come into contact with each other.

The left and right attachments 4 and 4 have an inverted L-shaped cross section, and their horizontal surfaces 4a and 4a are respectively brought into contact with the bottom surface of the hanging cabinet and fixed with wood screws (see FIG. 2). Then, the front ends of the vertical surfaces 4b, 4b are pivotally supported by the pivot points a and a at one end of the left and right front links 5 and 5, respectively, and the rear links 6 and 6 are bent at the pivot points b and b at the central portion. The rear end of the gas springs 7 and 7 is rotatably supported on the fulcrums C and C of the rear end. The rear links 6 and 6 and the gas spring 7, 7 is rotatably supported by a fulcrum D and connected. The other ends of the left and right front links 5 and 5 and the left and right rear links 6 and 6 are rotatably supported by the partition walls 3 and 3 of the storage box A, respectively, to provide fulcrums a'and b '(see FIG. 2). And In addition, B2 is a door of a hanging cabinet.

Next, FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a state in which the rear link 6 is not supported by the extension force of the gas spring 7 attached to the vertical surfaces 4b, 4b of the left and right attachments 4, 4. It rotates counterclockwise around the fulcrum b, and as a result, fulcrum b ′ also rotates counterclockwise around the fulcrum b, and its height is almost the same as that of the fulcrum b. On the other hand, since the fulcrum a'of the front link 5 is connected to the fulcrum b'of the rear link 6 through the partition wall 3, the front link 5 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the fulcrum b '. Therefore, the storage box A is held in a horizontal state so that the peripheral edge of the upper opening is in contact with the bottom surface B1 of the hanging cabinet.
