  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The ceiling storage system 10 according to the present embodiment includes an upper surface portion 110, a bottom surface portion 112 that is in a positional relationship parallel to the upper surface portion 110, a top surface portion 110, and side surface portions 114 and 114 that are in a vertical relationship with the bottom surface portion 112. The side members 116 and 116 whose both end portions are attached to the lower end portions of the side surface portions 114 and 114 so as to be positioned at the upper portion on the side surface side of the bottom surface portion 112 and are perpendicular to the bottom surface portion 112, and the side surface members 116 and 116 It has a rectangular tube-shaped system main body 100 composed of members 118 having both ends attached to the front portions 116a, 116a, its upper surface portion 110 is located on the rear side 20a of the ceiling 20, and its bottom surface portion 112 is a ceiling. It is provided on the ceiling 20 so as to be positioned on the front side 20 (residential space side) 20b. The ceiling storage system 10 is configured such that the bottom surface portion 112 can move in the vertical direction with respect to the horizontal surface of the ceiling 20. When not in use, the bottom surface portion 112 is located on the same horizontal surface as the ceiling 20, and The part 112 is configured to be a part of the ceiling 20.
Thus, a rectangular parallelepiped storage mechanism 120 having a hollow inside is provided on the upper surface 112 a of the bottom surface 112.

  The storage mechanism portion 120 has a storage portion 122 therein, and an edge portion thereof is composed of an aluminum metal frame 124. A transparent resin plate 126 such as polycarbonate is attached to the inside of the metal frame 124 except for the front portion 120a. The front portion 120a of the present embodiment is configured in an open state without being attached with a resin plate so that articles and the like can be easily taken into and out of the storage portion 122. However, a transparent resin plate is used so as to be openable and closable. Of course, it may be provided.

  A guide rail that guides the storage mechanism 120 to a metal frame 124 of the top surface portion 110, the bottom surface portion 112, and the storage mechanism portion 120 with a stretchable member so that the storage mechanism portion 120 can move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the ceiling 20. A mechanism part 130 is attached. That is, the guide rail mechanism portion 130 is made of a two-stage pulling aluminum alloy slide rail, and its one end portion 130a is attached to the upper surface portion 110 so as to be located on the side surface side of the storage mechanism portion 120, and the other end. The part 130 b is attached to the metal frame 124 in the vicinity of the bottom part 112. Further, an intermediate portion of the guide rail mechanism portion 130 is attached to the upper part on the side surface side of the metal frame 124 of the storage mechanism portion 120.

  The upper surface part 110 and the side surface part 114 of the storage mechanism part 120 are provided with a lifting control mechanism part 140 having a constant load spring (eg, Conston (trade name) manufactured by Sanko Spring Co., Ltd.). The lift control mechanism 140 has one end 140 a attached to the upper surface 110 and the other end 140 b attached to the upper part of the side of the metal frame 124 of the storage mechanism 120, and the guide rail mechanism 130. It functions so as to control the vertical movement that can be expanded and contracted. That is, when the guide rail mechanism portion 130 extends downward, a force that biases upward by the constant load spring of the lift control mechanism portion 140 is generated, and the guide rail mechanism portion 130 moves gently. Thus, the bottom portion 112 functions so as to descend slowly. Further, when the guide rail mechanism portion 130 extended downward is contracted upward, a force that biases upward by the constant load spring of the elevation control mechanism portion 140 is generated, so that the guide rail mechanism portion 130 is contracted. And functions to raise the bottom surface portion 112 without applying a large force.

  The bottom surface portion 112 is provided with an operation portion 150 for operation for taking out and using the storage mechanism portion 120 from the back side 20a of the ceiling 20 or storing it in the back side 20a of the ceiling 20. The operation unit 150 includes a flat handle provided on the bottom surface portion 112 on the front surface 120 a side of the storage mechanism portion 120, and a lock mechanism that locks / unlocks the bottom surface portion 112 on the back side 20 a of the ceiling 20. Part 152. That is, when the bottom surface portion 112 and the ceiling 20 are located on the same horizontal plane, the latch piece 152a of the lock mechanism portion 152 abuts and engages with the latch receiving portion 152b provided on the member 118 (FIG. 4). (See (a)), and functions to prevent the bottom surface 112 from descending. Further, by operating the flat handle of the operation unit 150 to move the latch piece 152a in the horizontal direction to release the contact / engagement state with the latch receiving portion 152b (see FIG. 4B, the latch piece 152a is moved in the direction of the arrow. It is functionally configured to be unlocked. Thus, when a force that urges the plane handle downward is applied to the flat handle in the unlocked state, the bottom surface portion 112 descends downward.

  A stopper portion 160 is attached to the upper portion of the storage mechanism portion 120, that is, the upper portion on the side surface side of the metal frame 124 (the upper portion on both ends of the front portion 120a). The stopper portion 160 has an inverted L shape, and has a protruding piece portion 160a oriented in the horizontal direction at the upper portion thereof. When the bottom surface 112 is lowered by a predetermined amount (until the entire front surface 120a appears on the front side 20b of the ceiling 20), the stopper 160 abuts the top surface of the side member 116, and the bottom surface 112 It functions to prevent the above descent.

  The operation of the above configuration will be described below.

When the ceiling storage system 10 is not used, the storage mechanism 120 is positioned on the back side 20 a of the ceiling 20.
In other words, when the latch piece 152a of the lock mechanism 152 is brought into contact with and engaged with the latch receiving portion 152b to be locked, the bottom surface portion 112 is prevented from descending. At this time, the bottom surface portion 112 is positioned on the same horizontal plane as the ceiling 20, and the bottom surface portion 112 exhibits a certain aspect of the ceiling 20.

  When the ceiling storage system 10 is used, first, the latch piece 152a is moved by operating the plane handle of the operation unit 150 provided on the bottom surface part 112 that is integrated with the ceiling 20. Then, the contact / engagement state between the latch piece 152a and the latch receiving portion 152b is released, and the unlock state is established. Thereafter, when a downward urging force is applied to the flat handle, the bottom surface portion 112 is guided by the guide rail mechanism portion 130 against the upward urging force of the elevation control mechanism portion 140 and descends. When the protruding piece 160a of the stopper 160 comes into contact with the upper surface of the side member 116, further lowering of the bottom 112 is prevented. Thus, since the storage mechanism section 120 appears, articles and the like can be taken in and out through the front section 120a.

  In order to finish the use of the ceiling storage system after the articles are taken in and out, the bottom surface portion 112 may be urged upward to store the storage mechanism portion 120 in the back side 20a of the ceiling 20. That is, the bottom surface portion 112 urged upward is raised by being guided by the contracting guide rail mechanism portion 130 by multiplying the upward urging force by the constant load spring of the elevation control mechanism portion 140. When the storage mechanism part 120 moves to the back side 20a of the ceiling 20 and the latch piece 152a comes into contact with and engages with the latch receiving part 152b to be locked, the bottom face part 112 is positioned on the same horizontal plane as the ceiling 20, End of use.

According to the above embodiment, the ceiling space can be effectively used with a simple structure without impairing the size of the living space. In addition, since the raising / lowering operation of the storage mechanism unit 120 is performed by the flat handle of the operation unit 150, it has a practically excellent effect of being easy to handle with a simple operation.
In addition, since the stopper mechanism 160 can prevent the storage mechanism section 120 from being accidentally dropped, it is excellent in terms of safety.
Further, since a transparent resin plate is attached to the side surface, the stored items in the storage unit 122 can be visually recognized from other than the front unit 120a, which is convenient. Further, when the ceiling storage system 10 is not used, the bottom surface portion 112 is integrated with the ceiling 20 and is excellent in aesthetic appearance.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Of course, a various deformation | transformation is possible unless it deviates from the meaning.

  As a modification of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the same parts and the same functions as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted, but for example, a braking rack (e.g., SC- 06 (product name)) and a braking device (eg, SC-08 (product name) manufactured by Shibutani Co., Ltd.), the control rack mechanism unit 170 is rear side of the storage mechanism unit 120 (the side surface opposite to the front part 120a). ) To control the lifting and lowering operations of the storage mechanism 120 and the bottom surface 112. That is, the control rack mechanism 170 can make the lifting / lowering operation more gradual and realize a more reliable and safe lifting / lowering operation.

FIG. 7 shows another modification of the above embodiment. The same parts and the same functions as those in the above embodiment are given the same numbers, and the description thereof is omitted.
In this modification, the rack and pinion mechanism 180 is attached to the back side of the storage mechanism 120, and the drive motor 190 is attached to the rack and pinion mechanism 180. That is, the control rack 182 is attached to the back side of the storage mechanism 120 (the side opposite to the front part 120a), and the drive motor 190 is attached to the pinion 184. The drive motor 190 is configured to perform forward rotation (for lifting) and reverse rotation (for lowering) by supplying power from a control circuit unit (not shown) provided on the bottom surface portion 112.

According to such a modification, since the raising / lowering operation of the storage mechanism unit 120 can be realized without human power, a more convenient ceiling storage system can be provided.
In addition, raising and lowering by the drive motor is not limited to the rack and pinion mechanism, and it is needless to say that other mechanisms may be used.

8 and 9 show still another modification of the above embodiment. The same parts and the same functions as those in the above embodiment are given the same numbers, and the description thereof is omitted.
In this modification, the height H1 of the system main body 10 on the back side 20a of the ceiling 20 is lower than the height H2 of the storage mechanism 120, that is, H1 <H2, so that the storage mechanism is not used when the system is not used. Not all of the portion 120 is positioned on the back side 20 a of the ceiling 20, but a part thereof is configured to be positioned on the back side 20 a of the ceiling 20. This is extremely effective when there is no room in the height of the ceiling space. Since all of the storage mechanism portions are not located on the side of the living space as in the prior art, there is not much pressure and there is little risk of deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. In the case of this system, the latch piece of the lock mechanism portion may be provided at an intermediate portion of the metal frame 124, for example.
The storage mechanism 120 may be made lighter by making the entire storage mechanism 120 of reinforced resin without using the metal frame 124. Further, the lock mechanism portion is not limited to the latch structure, and for example, a magnet catch method may be adopted.
The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.
