Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、複数個の収納庫本体を左右に又は左右及び上下に連結することができる収納庫の連結構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、２つの収納庫本体を左右に並べて、或いは、上下に重ねて連結する場合、収納庫本体の外壁板に予め形成したハーフパンチ加工部分を打ち抜いて穴を開け、この穴に通したねじにナットを締め込んで両収納庫本体の外壁板同士を締結するのが一般的である。また、一般にハーフパンチ加工は板材の周縁には施しにくいため、収納庫本体の外壁板にハーフパンチ加工を施す場合も、その周縁から離れた内方部分に施すのが一般的である。
【０００３】
一方、実開平５−４３９３１号公報には、横連結用ねじとねじ結合させるナットを収納庫本体内で係合穴に係合させ保持させる構成が開示されている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した従来の収納庫連結構造の場合、一方の収納庫本体の内部にナットをセットし、他方の収納庫本体内からそのナットにねじをねじ込む必要がある。したがって、両収納庫本体内の作業が必要となる。実開平５−４３９３１号公報に開示されるナット保持構造を利用する場合も同様である。また、既設の収納庫本体に新たな収納庫本体を連設するときは、既設の収納庫本体内に作業用スペースを確保するために、既設の収納庫本体内の収納物を外部に移動させることが必要になることがある。したがって、連結作業が面倒である。
【０００５】
さらに、収納庫本体の外壁板に一旦ねじ通穴を開けてしまうと、その後、レイアウト変更等により連結を外した場合、ねじ通穴が外部に露出し美観を損ねる原因となる。
【０００６】
さらに、収納庫本体における外壁板の内方部分に開けたハーフパンチ穴を利用して２つの収納庫本体の外壁板同士をねじで締結すると、外壁板がその厚み方向に変形し易く、また、十分な連結強度を確保することが難しい。
【０００７】
したがって、本発明の目的は、連結作業を効率良く行うことができるとともに、連結を外したときも美観を保つことができ、十分な連結強度を確保することができる収納庫の連結構造を提供することにある。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、請求項１記載の発明は、複数個の収納庫本体を連結する収納庫の連結構造において、前記各収納庫本体の左右の側壁板の上端にそれぞれキャップを外部から着脱可能な上部横連結用開口部を形成し、前記各収納庫本体の左右側壁板の上端の内側にはそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体を左右に並べたとき該上部横連結用開口部を介して左右に相対向する上部横連結板を設け、前記各収納庫本体内における左右のうちの一方の上部横連結板には横連結ねじのねじ軸部を通すことができるねじ通穴を形成し、他方の上部横連結板には横連結ねじのねじ軸部とねじ結合可能なナットを固定して設け、前記各収納庫本体における上壁板および底壁板の左右端にそれぞれキャップを外部から着脱可能な上部縦連結用開口部および下部縦連結用開口部を形成し、前記各収納庫本体の上壁板および底壁板の左右端の内側にはそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体を上下に重ねたとき該下部縦連結用開口部および上部縦連結用開口部を介して上下に相対向する上部縦連結板および下部縦連結板を設け、前記各収納庫本体における前記下部縦連結板には縦連結ねじのねじ軸部を通すことができるねじ通穴を形成し、また、前記上部縦連結板には縦連結ねじのねじ軸部とねじ結合可能なナットを固定して設けたことを特徴とする。
【００１１】
上記構成によれば、２つの収納庫本体を上下に重ねて連結するとき、下側収納庫本体の上壁板左右端に形成されている上部縦連結用開口部および上側収納庫本体の底壁板左右端に形成されている下部縦連結用開口部からそれぞれキャップを外し、縦連結ねじのねじ軸部を上側の収納庫本体内部の下部縦連結板に設けられているねじ通穴に通し、更に下部縦連結用開口部および上部縦連結用開口部を通して下側の収納庫本体内部の上部縦連結板に設けられているナットにねじ込むことにより、両収納庫本体を上下に連結することができる。しかも、ナットは予め下側の収納庫本体内の上部横連結板に固定して設けられているので、上側の収納庫本体内のみで縦連結ねじによる連結作業を効率よく行うことができる。特に、既設の収納庫本体の上に新たな収納庫本体を連設するときは、既設側収納庫本体内のナットを利用することにより、既設の収納庫本体内の収納物を外に移動することなく上下の連結作業を行うことができる。また、各収納庫本体の上壁板に形成されている上部縦連結用開口部および底壁板に形成されている下部縦連結用開口部を連結に使用しないときは、キャップで塞いでおくことができるので、収納庫の美観を保つことができる。しかも、キャップは外部から縦連結用開口部に着脱できるので、既設の収納庫本体の上に新たな収納庫本体を連設するときであっても、既設の収納庫本体内の収納物を外に移動したり既設の収納庫本体内での作業を必要とすることなく上部縦連結用開口部および下部縦連結用開口部を開放状態にすることができる。
【００１２】
また、請求項２記載の発明は、請求項１記載の収納庫の連結構造において、前記各収納庫本体の左右の側壁板の下端にそれぞれキャップを外部から着脱可能な下部横連結用開口部を形成し、前記各収納庫本体の左右側壁板の下端の内側にはそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体を左右に並べたとき該下部横連結用開口部を介して左右に相対向する下部横連結板を設け、前記各収納庫本体内における左右のうちの一方の下部横連結板には横連結ねじのねじ軸部を通すことができるねじ通穴を形成し、他方の下部横連結板には横連結ねじのねじ軸部とねじ結合可能なナットを固定して設けたことを特徴とする。
【００１３】
上記構成によれば、２つの収納庫本体を左右に並べて連結するとき、両収納庫本体の互いに重なり合う側壁板の上端に形成されている上部横連結用開口部と側壁板下端に形成されている下部横連結用開口部とを利用して両収納庫本体を上下２カ所で確実に連結することができる。また、下部横連結用開口部は左右の側壁板の下端部に形成されるので、上部横連結用開口部と同様に、側壁板の端縁から離れた内方部に形成する場合に比べて精度良く且つ側壁板にゆがみ等を生じさせることなく容易に形成することができる。
【００１６】
また、請求項３記載の発明は、請求項２記載の収納庫の連結構造において、前記各収納庫本体における左右の前記上部横連結板を前記上壁板に取り付け、前記各収納庫本体における左右の前記上部縦連結板及び前記下部縦連結板を左右の前記側壁板に取り付けたことを特徴とする。
【００１７】
上記構成によれば、各収納庫本体における左右の上部横連結板を上壁板に取り付けるとともに、各収納庫本体における左右の上部縦連結板及び下部縦連結板を左右の側壁板に取り付けているので、左右に並べた２つの収納庫本体の上部横連結板間を横連結ねじで連結したときは、横連結ねじの締め付け荷重を側壁板で受けることなく、上部横連結板を介して上壁板によりその板厚方向と直交する方向に受けることができ、また、上下に重ねた２つの収納庫本体の上部縦連結板と下部縦連結板間を縦連結ねじで連結したときは、縦連結ねじの締め付け荷重を上壁板及び底壁板で受けることなく、上部縦連結板又は下部縦連結板を介して左右の側壁板によりその板厚方向と直交する方向に受けることができる。したがって、横連結ねじ又は縦連結ねじの締め付け荷重による側壁板及び上壁板の板厚方向のゆがみを防止することができる。
【００１９】
また、請求項４記載の発明は、請求項１乃至３のいずれかに記載の収納庫の連結構造において、前記各収納庫本体はその前後面に複数種の扉及び背面板を選択的に取り付け可能であり、前記各収納庫本体における左右の前記上部横連結板にはそれぞれねじ通穴とナットとが収納庫本体の前面と後面との間で、左右の側壁板方向に延びる中心線に対し対称に設け、且つ、左右の前記上部横連結板におけるねじ通穴とナットを水平回転対称に配置したことを特徴とする。
【００２０】
上記構成によれば、各収納庫本体がその前後面に複数種の扉及び背面板を選択的に取り付け可能であるので、収納庫本体を共通化し各種扉形態の収納庫とすることができる。しかも、収納庫本体における左右の上部横連結板にはそれぞれねじ通穴とナットとが収納庫本体の前後面間中心線に対し対称に設けてあり、且つ、左右の上部横連結板におけるねじ通穴とナットとが水平回転対称に配置されているので、収納庫本体の前後を反転して該収納庫本体の前後面に扉と背面板を取り付けた場合であっても、この前後を反転させた収納庫本体と前後を反転させていない収納庫本体とを支障なく左右に連結することができる。
【００２１】
さらに、請求項５記載の発明は、請求項４記載の収納庫の連結構造において、前記各収納庫本体における左右の前記上部縦連結板及び前記下部縦連結板にはそれぞれ前記ねじ通穴とナットとを収納庫本体の前面と後面との間で、左右の側壁板方向に延びる中心線線上に配置したことを特徴とする。
【００２２】
上記構成によれば、収納庫本体の前後を反転して該収納庫本体の前後面に扉と背面板を取り付けた場合であっても、この前後を反転させた収納庫本体と前後を反転させていない収納庫本体とを支障なく上下に連結することができる。
【００２３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照して本発明の好ましい実施形態を説明する。
【００２４】
【実施例】
図１から図４までは本発明の一実施例を示したものであり、図１は収納庫の斜視図、図２は複数個の収納庫を左右及び上下に連結する方法を示す収納庫本体の要部縦断面正面図、図３は複数個の収納庫を左右に連結する方法を示す収納庫本体の要部横断面平面図、図４はキャップの構成例を示す斜視図である。
【００２５】
図１〜図４を参照すると、収納庫は箱形の収納庫本体２を備え、この収納庫本体２は左右の側壁板３，４と、上壁板５と、底壁板６とを有する。収納庫本体２はこれら側壁板３，４、上壁板５及び底壁板６を一体化したものであってもよく、また、側壁板３，４の上下端に上壁板５及び底壁板６の左右端をそれぞれ連結部材（図示省略）を介して連結することにより、箱形に形成したものであってもよい。
【００２６】
図１及び図３（ａ）に示すように、収納庫本体２の前面には引戸式の扉７が上下のガイドレール（図示省略）を介して取り付けられており、収納庫本体２の後面には背面板８が取り付けられている。
【００２７】
図１、図２及び図４に示すように、収納庫本体２における左右の側壁板３，４の上端にはそれぞれキャップ１１を外部から着脱可能な上部横連結用開口部１０が形成されている。また、この実施例では、収納庫本体２における上壁板５の左右端にはそれぞれキャップ１３を外部から着脱可能な上部縦連結用開口部１２が形成されている。さらに、この実施例では、収納庫本体２における左右の側壁板３，４の下端にそれぞれキャップ１５を外部から着脱可能な下部横連結用開口部１４が形成されており、収納庫本体２における底壁板６の左右端にはそれぞれキャップ１７を外部から着脱可能な上部縦連結用開口部１６が形成されている。キャップ１１，１３，１５，１７の両側端には、対応する開口部１０，１２，１４，１６の両側端内縁部に引っ掛かり止まる弾性係止爪１１ａ，１３ａ，１５ａ，１７ａがそれぞれ突設されている。
【００２８】
ここでは、上部横連結用開口部１０，上部縦連結用開口部１２，下部横連結用開口部１４，下部縦連結用開口部１６は同一寸法形状となっており、キャップ１１，１３，１５，１７も同一形状寸法であるので、これら任意のキャップを任意の開口部に装着することができる。
【００２９】
さらに、この実施例においては、側壁板３，４の上部横連結用開口部１０と天板５の上部縦連結用開口部１２とが互いに連通して１つの開口部を形成しているので、図５に示すように、上部横連結用開口部１０に装着可能なキャップ１１と天板５の上部縦連結用開口部１２に装着可能なキャップ１３とを連結部１８を介して一体に形成し、且つ、連結部１８を中心として屈曲自在に形成したものとすることができる。このような一体構成としたキャップ１１，１３は、収納庫本体２を単体で用いるときは、上部横連結用開口部１０と上部縦連結用開口部１２とに装着して用いることができる。また、２つの収納庫本体２，２を左右に並べて連結するときは、一体構成としたキャップ１１，１３を互いに連通する２つの上部縦連結用開口部１２，１２に装着することができる。さらに、２つの収納庫本体２，２を上下に重ねて連結するときは、一体構成としたキャップ１１，１３を互いに連通する下部縦連結用開口部１４と上部縦連結用開口部１２とに装着することができる。
【００３０】
図２に示すように、各収納庫本体２における左右側壁板３，４の上端の内側にはそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体２，２を左右に並べたとき上部横連結用開口部１０，１０を介して左右に相対向する上部横連結板２０が設けられている。ここでは上部横連結板２０は上壁板５に例えばスポット溶接により固定されている。そして、各収納庫本体２内における左右のうちの一方（図２中左方）の上部横連結板２０には横連結ねじ２１のねじ軸部２１ａを通すことができるねじ通穴２０ａが形成され、他方（図２中右方）の上部横連結板２０には横連結ねじ２１のねじ軸部２１ａとねじ結合可能なナット２２が固定して設けられている。
【００３１】
さらに、この実施例では、各収納庫本体２のける上壁板５および底壁板６の左右端の内側にそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体２，２を上下に重ねたとき該下部縦連結用開口部１６および上部縦連結用開口部１２を介して上下に相対向する上部縦連結板２３および下部縦連結板２４が設けられてり、各収納庫本体２における下部縦連結板２４には縦連結ねじ２５のねじ軸部２５ａを通すことができるねじ通穴２４ａが形成され、また、上部縦連結板２３には縦連結ねじ２５のねじ軸部２５ａとねじ結合可能なナット２６が固定して設けられている。ここでは上部縦連結板２３及び下部縦連結板２４はそれぞれ左右の側壁板３，４に例えばスポット溶接により固定されている。
【００３２】
さらに、この実施例では、各収納庫本体２の左右側壁板３，４の下端の内側にはそれぞれ２つの収納庫本体２，２を左右に並べたとき該下部横連結用開口部１４，１４を介して左右に相対向する下部横連結板２７が形成され、各収納庫本体２内における左右のうちの一方（図２中左方）の下部横連結板２７には横連結ねじ２８のねじ軸部２８ａを通すことができるねじ通穴２７ａが形成され、他方（図２中右方）の下部横連結板２７には横連結ねじ２８のねじ軸部２８ａとねじ結合可能なナット２９が固定して設けられている。
【００３３】
さらに、図３を参照すると、この実施例では、収納庫本体２の前面及び後面にそれぞれ複数種の扉（例えば引戸７、両開き開閉扉３０、ガラス戸（図示省略）、片開き回動扉（図示省略）等）及び背面板８を選択的に取り付け可能となっており、例えば、図３（ａ）の右側に位置する収納庫においては、収納庫本体２の前面に取り付けられている引戸７の代わりに背面板８を、また、後面には背面板８の代わりに両開き開閉扉３０を取り付けることができる。
【００３４】
上記のように、収納庫本体２の前後面に扉３０と背面板８を前後反対に取り付けたときは、図３（ｂ）に示すように、収納庫本体２を水平に回転してその前後を反転させることにより、他の収納庫（図３（ｂ）中左側の収納庫）と前後の向きを揃えることができる。さらに、この実施例では、図３（ａ）、（ｂ）に示すように、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部横連結板２０，２０にはそれぞれ前記ねじ通穴２０ａと、ナット２２とが収納庫本体２の前後面間中心線３１に対し対称に設けられており、且つ、左右の上部横連結板２０，２０におけるねじ通穴２０ａ、２０ａとナット２２，２２とが水平回転対称に配置されている。したがって、図３（ｂ）に示すように、前後を反転させた収納庫本体２（図３（ｂ）中右側の収納庫本体）の内部から横連結ねじ２１を上部横連結板２０のねじ通穴２０ａに通し、更に前後を反転させていない収納庫本体２（図３（ｂ）中左側の収納庫本体）内の上部横連結板２０に固設されているナット２２にねじ込んで２つの収納庫本体２，２を締結することができる。
【００３５】
また、この実施例では、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部縦連結板２３及び下部縦連結板２４にはねじ通穴２３ａとナット２６とがそれぞれ収納庫本体２の前後面間中心線線上に配置されているので、収納庫本体２の前後を反転して該収納庫本体２の前後面に例えば扉３１と背面板８を取り付けた場合であっても、この前後を反転させた収納庫本体２と前後を反転させていない収納庫本体２とを支障なく上下に連結することができる。なお、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部縦連結板２３及び下部縦連結板２４には複数個（例えば２個）のねじ通穴２３ａと複数個（例えば２個）のナット２６をそれぞれ収納庫本体２の前後面間中心線線に対し対称に配置してもよい。
【００３６】
上記構成を有する収納庫の連結構造においては、図３（ａ）に示すように、２つの収納庫本体２，２を左右に並べて連結するとき、両収納庫本体２，２の互いに重なり合う側壁板３，４の上端に形成されている上部横連結用開口部１０，１０からキャップ１１，１１を外し、横連結ねじ２１のねじ軸部２１ａを右方の収納庫本体２の内部の左側上部横連結板２０に設けられているねじ通穴２０ａに通し、更に両上部横連結用開口部１０，１０を通して左方の収納庫本体２内部の右側上部横連結板２０に設けられているナット２２にねじ込むことにより、両収納庫本体２，２を左右に連結することができる。しかも、ナット２２は予め一方の収納庫本体２内の上部横連結板２０に固定して設けられているので、他方の収納庫本体２内のみで横連結ねじ２１による連結作業を効率よく行うことができる。特に、既設の収納庫本体２の横に新たな収納庫本体２を連設するときは、既設側収納庫本体２内のナット２２を利用することにより、既設の収納庫本体２内の収納物を外に移動することなく左右の連結作業を行うことができる。また、収納庫本体２における左右の側壁板３，４の上端に形成されている上部横連結用開口部１０，１０を連結に使用しないときは、キャップ１１，１１で塞いでおくことができるので、収納庫の美観を保つことができる。しかも、キャップ１１，１１は外部から上部横連結用開口部１０，１０に着脱できるので、既設の収納庫本体２の横に新たな収納庫本体２を連設するときであっても、既設の収納庫本体２内の収納物を外に移動したり既設の収納庫本体２内での作業を必要とすることなく上部横連結用開口部１０を開放状態にすることができる。さらに、上部横連結用開口部１０，１０は左右の側壁板３，４の上端部に形成されるので、側壁板３，４の端縁から離れた内方部に形成する場合に比べて精度良く且つ側壁板３，４にゆがみ等を生じさせることなく容易に形成することができる。
【００３７】
また、上記実施例の構成においては、２つの収納庫本体２，２を上下に重ねて連結するとき、図２に示すように、下側収納庫本体２における上壁板５の左右端に形成されている上部縦連結用開口部１２および上側収納庫本体２における底壁板６の左右端に形成されている下部縦連結用開口部１６からそれぞれキャップ１３，１７を外し、縦連結ねじ２５のねじ軸部２５ａを上側の収納庫本体２内部の下部縦連結板２４に設けられているねじ通穴２４ａに通し、更に下部縦連結用開口部１６および上部縦連結用開口部１２を通して下側の収納庫本体２内部の上部縦連結板２３に設けられているナット２６にねじ込むことにより、両収納庫本体２，２を上下に連結することができる。しかも、ナット２６は予め下側の収納庫本体２内の上部横連結板２３に固定して設けられているので、上側の収納庫本体２内のみで縦連結ねじ２５による連結作業を効率よく行うことができる。特に、既設の収納庫本体２の上に新たな収納庫本体２を連設するときは、既設側収納庫本体２内のナット２６を利用することにより、既設の収納庫本体２内の収納物を外に移動することなく上下の連結作業を行うことができる。また、各収納庫本体２の上壁板５に形成されている上部縦連結用開口部１２および底壁板６に形成されている下部縦連結用開口部１６を連結に使用しないときは、それぞれキャップ１３，１７で塞ぐことができるので、収納庫の美観を保つことができる。しかも、キャップ１３，１７は外部から縦連結用開口部１２，１６に着脱できるので、既設の収納庫本体２の上に新たな収納庫本体２を連設するときであっても、既設の収納庫本体２内の収納物を外に移動したり既設の収納庫本体２内での作業を必要とすることなく上部縦連結用開口部１２および下部縦連結用開口部１６を開放状態にすることができる。
【００３８】
さらに、上記実施例の構成においては、２つの収納庫本体２，２を左右に並べて連結するとき、両収納庫本体２，２の互いに重なり合う側壁板３，４の上端に形成されている上部横連結用開口部１０，１０と側壁板３，４の下端に形成されている下部横連結用開口部１４，１４とを利用して両収納庫本体２を上下２カ所で確実に連結することができる。また、下部横連結用開口部１４，１４は左右の側壁板３，４の下端部に形成されるので、上部横連結用開口部１０，１０と同様に、側壁板３，４の端縁から離れた内方部に形成する場合に比べて精度良く且つ側壁板３，４にゆがみ等を生じさせることなく容易に形成することができる。
【００３９】
さらに、上記実施例の構成においては、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部横連結板２０，２０を上壁板５に取り付けているので、左右に並べた２つの収納庫本体２，２の上部横連結板２０，２０間を横連結ねじ２１で連結した際に、横連結ねじ２１の締め付け荷重を側壁板３，４で直接受けることなく、上部横連結板２０，２０を介して上壁板５，５によりその板厚方向と直交する方向に受けることができる。したがって、横連結ねじ２１の締め付け荷重による側壁板３，４及び上壁板５の板厚方向のゆがみを効果的に防止することができる。
【００４０】
さらに、上記実施例の構成においては、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部横連結板２０，２０を上壁板５に取り付けるとともに、各収納庫本体２における左右の上部縦連結板２３及び下部縦連結板２４を左右の側壁板３，４に取り付けているので、左右に並べた２つの収納庫本体２，２の上部横連結板２０，２０間を横連結ねじ２１で連結したときは、横連結ねじ２１の締め付け荷重を側壁板３，４で受けることなく、上部横連結板２０，２０を介して上壁板５，５によりその板厚方向と直交する方向に受けることができ、また、上下に重ねた２つの収納庫本体２，２の上部縦連結板２３と下部縦連結板２４間を縦連結ねじ２５で連結したときは、縦連結ねじ２５の締め付け荷重を上壁板５又は底壁板６で受けることなく、上部縦連結板２３又は下部縦連結板２４を介して左右の側壁板３，４によりその板厚方向と直交する方向に受けることができる。したがって、横連結ねじ２１又は縦連結ねじ２５の締め付け荷重による側壁板３，４、上壁板５及び底壁板６の板厚方向のゆがみを防止することができる。
【００４１】
さらに、上記実施例の構成においては、各収納庫本体２がその前後面に複数種の扉７，３０等及び背面板８を選択的に取り付け可能であるので、収納庫本体２を共通化し各種扉形態の収納庫とすることができる。しかも、収納庫本体２における左右の上部横連結板２０，２０にはそれぞれねじ通穴２０ａとナット２２とが収納庫本体２の前後面間中心線３１に対し対称に設けてあり、且つ、左右の上部横連結板２０，２０におけるねじ通穴２０ａとナット２２とが水平回転対称に配置されているので、収納庫本体２の前後を反転して該収納庫本体２の前後面に扉３０と背面板８を取り付けた場合であっても、この前後を反転させた収納庫本体２（図３（ｂ）の右側収納庫本体）と前後を反転させていない収納庫本体２（図３（ｂ）の左側収納庫本体）とを支障なく左右に連結することができる。
【００４２】
図６及び図７は本発明の他の実施例を示したものである。図６（ａ）、（ｂ）は収納庫の前後に異なる位置の要部縦断面正面図であり、図７は図６の収納庫連結構造に用いられる連結部材を示す要部斜視図である。これらの図において、上記実施例と同様の構成要素には同一の参照符号が付してある。
【００４３】
図６及び図７を参照すると、この実施例においては、各収納庫本体２は左右の側板３，４の上下端に上壁板５及び底壁板６の左右端をそれぞれ図７に示すような連結部材３３を介して連結することにより、箱形に形成したものとなっている。図７に示す連結部材３３は、収納庫本体２の左上コーナー部に配置されるものであり、側壁板３の内側に前後に間隔をあけて設けられた補強部材３ａ，３ｂの内側中空部に嵌合可能な嵌合部３３ａ、３３ｂと、上壁板５の内側に前後に間隔をあけて設けられた補強部材５ａ、５ｂの内側中空部に嵌合可能な嵌合部３３ｃ、３３ｄとを一体に備えている。収納庫本体２の右上コーナー部及び左右の下コーナー部においても同様の連結部材（図示せず）を用いることができる。
【００４４】
さらに、左右の側壁板３，４における上端部と上部横連結板２０，２０との間には、上部横連結用開口部１０，１０を内側から塞ぐことができるブロック体３４、３４がそれぞれ挟持されており、このブロック体３４には横連結ねじ２１のねじ軸部２１ａを通す２つのねじ通穴３４ａが貫通形成されている。また、ブロック体３４は上記連結部材３３の一部として一体に形成されている。さらに、この実施例では、ブロック体３４は、上壁板５と上部縦連結板２３とによって挟持されるように形成されており、このブロック体３４には縦連結ねじ２５のねじ軸部２５ａを通すねじ通穴３４ｂが貫通形成されている。また、ブロック体３４の上面には、対応するキャップの弾性係止爪（図４及び図５参照）を上壁板５の対応する開口部１２に引っ掛けて止める際に両弾性係止爪（図４及び図５参照）を受容することができる凹部３４ｃが形成されており、ブロック体３４の左側面にも同様の凹部（不図示）が形成されている。他のコーナー部においても同様の構成を適用することができる。また、その他の構成は上記実施例と同様である。
【００４５】
したがって、この実施例においても上記実施例と同様の作用効果を得ることができるが、さらに、２つの左右の側壁板３，４における上端部と上部横連結板２０，２０との間には、上部横連結用開口部１０，１０を内側から塞ぐことができるブロック体３６、３６がそれぞれ挟持されているので、２つの収納庫本体２を左右に連結する際に、ブロック体３６を介して側壁板３，４と上壁板５との連結を強化することができる。また、上部のブロック体３６は上壁板５と上部縦連結板２３との間に挟持され、下部のブロック体３６は底壁板６と下部縦連結板２４との間に挟持されるので、２つの収納庫本体２を上下に連結する際に、これらブロック体３６を介して側壁板３，４と上壁板５又は側壁板３，４と底壁板６との連結を強化することができる。
【００４６】
以上、図示実施例につき説明したが、本発明は上記実施例の態様のみに限定されるものではなく、例えば、上部縦連結用開口部及び下部縦連結用開口部、上部縦連結板、下部縦連結板、下部横連結用開口部、下部横連結板等を省略しても本発明の所期目的を達成することができる。
【００４７】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明によれば、連結作業を効率良く行うことができるとともに、連結を外したときも美観を保つことができ、十分な連結強度を確保することができる収納庫の連結構造を提供することができる。
