Are known. However, in this case, different types (for example, a mixture of MD, CD, and cassette tape) cannot be stored together, or even if they can be stored, Since the width does not match the position of the fixing rib, there is a disadvantage that a large amount of unused storage space is generated. Also, if the fixing ribs are provided, it becomes difficult to freely use them, such as converting from a use for storing a CD to a use for storing a cassette tape.

On the other hand, a plurality of holes are formed at predetermined intervals in a width direction on a shelf plate (bottom plate) as partitioning means for stored items, and a desired hole selected from among these holes is formed. A method of attaching a partition plate (having a protruding piece at its lower end that can be fitted into a hole of a shelf plate) is known. However, in this case, although the degree of freedom to adjust the position of the partition plate in the width direction is increased as compared with the case where the fixing ribs are provided, since the position of the hole of the shelf is predetermined, the partition The disadvantage is that the position of the plate can be adjusted stepwise in the width direction (left-right direction), but it cannot be finely adjusted by sliding continuously.

FIG.

In this specification, unless stated otherwise, “forward” means a direction on the side of an opening of a storage rack provided for taking in and out stored items in a horizontal direction, "Back" means the direction opposite to "front" (the direction toward the back of the storage rack). "Depth" means the dimension from "front" to "rear" and "width". Means the dimension in the width direction of the opening of the storage rack. For example, the “width” of the partition plate of the present invention means the dimension in the width direction of the opening of the storage rack when attached to the storage rack.

As shown in FIG. 1, the partition member 1 of the present invention is used to store stored items (MDs, CDs, cassette tapes, books, etc.) in an upright state in a storage space in a storage rack. A vertical wall portion 2 for partitioning, a flat plate-shaped horizontal wall portion 3 formed by being bent substantially vertically at a lower end of the vertical wall portion 2, and a lower end at a front end of the horizontal wall portion 3. Folded and substantially U-shaped (however, “substantially U-shaped” means that when the longitudinal section of the engaging portion 4 is viewed along with a part (edge) of the horizontal wall portion 3, the U-shaped shape is 90 °. And an engaging portion 4 for engaging with the bottom plate portion of the storage rack.

Here, the vertical wall portion 2 does not necessarily have to be a flat plate shape as shown in FIG. 1, but extends in a vertical direction so as to be able to partition a storage object such as an MD. Any configuration is acceptable. For example, it may be constituted only by a portion (contour portion) corresponding to the peripheral portion of the vertical wall portion 2 in FIG. 1, and the inner portion surrounded by the contour portion may be hollow.

As shown in FIG. 1, the horizontal wall 3 is preferably formed continuously and integrally with the entire lower end of the vertical wall 2 in order to enhance the stability of the partition member 1. However, the horizontal wall portion in the present invention is not necessarily limited to the configuration as shown in FIG. 1 and may be appropriately positioned on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion of the storage rack in order to maintain the partition member in a stable upright state. What is necessary is just to be the thing which has a contact surface of the size of and is comprised so that contact is possible. For example, the rear wall of the horizontal wall 3 shown in FIG.

[0015] The engaging portion 4 is typically folded downward as shown in FIG. 1 so as to be continuously connected to the horizontal wall portion 3 extending in a plate shape in the horizontal direction. Bent portion 4a, a flat plate portion 4b extending rearward from the bent portion 4a and formed substantially parallel to the horizontal wall portion 3, and an edge (end) of the flat plate portion 4b. The locking piece 4c is bent and extends obliquely upward toward the rear. The partition member 1 may be manufactured, for example, by processing a metal plate, or may be manufactured as a molded body of a synthetic resin or the like.

Next, the storage rack including the partition member will be described in detail. The storage rack 5 includes a main body 6 and the partition member 1 as shown in FIGS. The main body 6 includes a bottom plate 7 for placing stored items, a ceiling plate 8 provided above and opposed to the bottom plate 7, a pair of side plates 9, and a rear side (rear side). It comprises a back plate 10 provided and legs 11 (see FIG. 3) disposed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 7. Of these, the frame composed of the bottom plate 7, the ceiling plate 8, the side plate 9, and the back plate 10 is folded at a position where the plates 7, 8, 9, and 10 vertically intersect. It is bent or connected and fixed, and is configured so as not to have an open portion except for an opening portion 12 for taking in and out of stored items in a horizontal direction.

The frame composed of the bottom plate 7 and the like includes, for example, a band-shaped edge forming portion 13 forming the peripheral portion of the opening 12, a corner forming portion 14 forming the peripheral edge of the back plate portion 10, And a thin plate portion 15 (specifically, a flat plate made of expanded metal or the like). The thin plate portion 15 is firmly fixedly connected to the edge forming portion 13 and the corner forming portion 14. As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom plate portion 7 has an edge forming portion 13 having a predetermined thickness dimension (a vertical dimension in FIG. 4) and a predetermined depth dimension (a horizontal dimension in FIG. 4). In this example, a lower straight line portion inside the rectangular edge forming portion 13 formed around the opening portion 12, and a mounting surface forming portion 16 (expander) fixed to the edge forming portion 13 and extending rearward. (A part of the thin plate portion 15 made of a material such as metal).

In FIG. 4, the partition member 1 is attached to the bottom plate portion 7 by the horizontal wall portion 3 and the engaging portion 4 (including the curved portion 4a, the flat plate portion 4b, and the locking piece 4c; see FIG. 1). It is installed stably. The details of the mounting structure in FIG. 4 are as follows. The distance between the lower surface of the horizontal wall portion 3 and the upper end of the locking piece 4c is determined to be slightly smaller than the thickness of the edge forming portion 13. Therefore, when the partition member 1 is attached to the bottom plate portion 7, first, an opening (formed in a groove shape in the width direction) formed by the horizontal wall portion 3 and the upper end of the locking piece 4c of the partition member 1 is formed. After the air gap) is brought into contact with the edge (edge) of the edge forming portion 13 of the bottom plate portion 7 from the outside (front side), the engaging portion 4 is pressed toward the edge forming portion 13 to lock. The portion including the piece 4 c is elastically deformed and slightly moves downward, so that the edge forming portion 13 enters the internal space of the engaging portion 4. When the upper end of the locking piece 4c changes from a state in which it comes into contact with the lower surface of the edge forming portion 13 to a state in which it comes into contact with the lower surface of the mounting surface forming portion 16, the engaging member which has been pushed down and elastically deformed is pressed. The stop piece 4c moves upward by the elastic restoring force, and returns to the original position (a shape that is not elastically deformed). Thus, the edge forming portion 13 is held in the internal space of the engaging portion 4 and cannot move in the front-back direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 4). When the partition member 1 is removed, if the partition member 1 is pulled forward (to the left in FIG. 4), the portion including the locking piece 4c is elastically deformed and moves downward, so that the partition member 1 can be removed. .

As shown in FIG. 3, a leg 11 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 7. The leg 11 is made of, for example, a columnar rubber body having an appropriate thickness, and is adhered to the lower surface of the bottom plate 7 with an adhesive or the like. By providing the leg portion 11 having an appropriate thickness, the engaging portion 4 of the partition member 1 does not contact the ground on the mounting surface, so that the partition member 1 can be moved in the width direction without any resistance. Become. The upper surface of the ceiling plate 8 has a recess 17 at a position corresponding to the position of the leg 11 (specifically, a width slightly larger than the diameter of the leg 11 and an appropriate length in the depth direction). Grooved shape). When the storage racks 5 are stacked one on top of the other, the legs 11 of the other storage racks 5 are placed on the recesses 17 of the ceiling plate portion 8 so that the width of the other storage racks 5 is reduced. It is convenient because it does not slide in the direction (horizontal direction). In FIG. 2, by using one of the two central concave portions 17 sandwiched between the concave portions 17 on both ends, the upper concave portion 17 is straddled over the two storage racks 5 juxtaposed below. A storage rack 5 can be arranged.

When the storage racks 5 are vertically stacked, if a suitable gap is formed between the upper and lower storage racks 5, the width of the partition member 1 on the edge forming portion 13 can be increased. It is easy to move by sliding in the direction. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the thickness (height) of the leg 11 and the depth of the concave portion 17 of the ceiling plate 8 in consideration of this situation. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the thickness of the legs 11 is increased, even if another storage rack 5 is arranged below the storage rack 5, the lower surface of the engaging portion 4 of the partition member 1 will be However, the engaging portion 4 can be moved in the width direction without any trouble without contacting the upper surface of the other storage rack 5. FIG. 5 shows an example in which expanded metal is used as the thin plate portion 15.
