Description

  The present invention relates to a storage unit suitably used in an office or the like.

For example, conventional storage cases such as open shelves and lockers as shown in Patent Document 1 use shelf boards and partitions as appropriate, or use box files to improve the utilization efficiency of the storage space. In order to maximize the storage function, the inner surface of the storage case is not subjected to unnecessary processing as much as possible.
JP 2004-92022 A

  However, such conventional open shelves, lockers, etc. are not suitable when it is desired to individually manage files and other shared items. For example, offices in recent times are required to have a strict storage state in order to manage shared items such as highly confidential files, but it is possible to manage the storage case by simply defining the storage space. It is difficult to perform accurate management in units of boxes or in units of storage spaces defined by shelves or partitions when there is no control or the entire storage case exhibits only a locking management function.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and can individually perform management of articles stored in the storage case without depending on the function of the storage case, and Providing a new and useful storage unit that is ingeniously designed so that it can be attached to the storage case without being obstructed by the wiring required for power supply and data exchange, and the inner space of the storage case can be used effectively. The purpose is that.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures.

At least one of the housings surrounding the second storage space, and is configured to be detachably incorporated in a state where the housing is stacked in a storage case together with the housing of another storage unit. A concave portion that is continuous in the vertical direction is provided in the portion. Note that the stacked state is not necessarily limited to the case of being brought into direct contact and stacked, but includes an aspect in which the stacked case is apparently stacked by supporting the storage case in multiple stages.

  With this configuration, the storage unit storing files and the like can be densely arranged in the storage case, and the storage case has no management function or only performs the management function in the entire storage case. Even if it is a case, the electromagnetic individual management of the 1st storage space can be effectively performed per storage unit by the apparatus with wiring arranged in the 2nd storage space.

  Unlike the first storage space where it is desired to secure the inner space as much as possible, the second storage space only needs to store a device with wiring necessary for management. Even if a recess is provided around the second storage space, the storage function is provided. There will be no significant problems. And if a recessed part is made to continue in the up-down direction across several storage units when a storage unit is stacked, the wiring of the apparatus with the wiring accommodated in the 2nd storage space can be effectively routed along this recessed part. . Moreover, even if the outer surface of the housing is brought into contact with or close to the inner surface of the storage case, the space in the recess is secured, so that it is possible to perform the close attachment to the storage case without impairing the wiring function. .

  In order to improve handling convenience, it is desirable that the housing can be detachably engaged at an appropriate height position of the storage case via an engagement element such as a claw or a rail.

At that time, in order to make effective use of the existing parts, the engaging element has the same structure as the engaging element such as a shelf claw or a rail groove for detachably engaging the shelf board to the storage case. It is preferable to adopt it.

  As a concrete embodiment of the concave portion, a case where the back surface of the housing is recessed and / or a case where the side surface of the housing is recessed, or a case where the corner portions of the back surface and the side surface of the housing are recessed, etc. Is mentioned.

  As a device with wiring, a control panel for managing file access information, a connector unit associated with an antenna for transmitting / receiving file information to / from a storage medium provided in the file, or opening / closing to open / close the first storage space Examples include components of locking means for locking and unlocking the member.

  In order to obtain the same effect as the above in the storage unit independently of the storage case, a first storage space for storing articles such as files and the like in the housing and electromagnetic management of the first storage space Forming a second storage space for storing a device with wiring necessary for the storage, and configured to vertically stack the casing together with a casing of another storage unit, and to enclose the second storage space. You may make it provide the recessed part which continues in an up-down direction in at least one part.
