[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention was developed for the purpose of providing a structure for increasing the rigidity of the entire inner cabinet in such a conventional liftable hanging cabinet 1.
That is, in the conventional form, it has been common to provide latching protrusions on both side plates of the inner cabinet, and to detachably mount the shelf plate here.
In such a structure, since the front surface of the inner cabinet is open, the rigidity as a whole is insufficient. If the shelf board is fitted, the lack of rigidity is compensated, but it may be removed for cleaning or the like, and the risk of deformation as a whole could not be eliminated.
Further, if the entire shelf is structured to have a wide frontage, the center of the shelf board is bent due to the weight of the storage if the shelf board in the inner cabinet is only supported on both sides.
