  However, at least from the viewpoint of maintaining the appearance of the storage device, the opening of the door is temporary if it corresponds to the problem of notch opening on the side end face of the door when the door is closed and the exposure of the mechanism parts. The better the end face treatment of the notch, the more the appearance will not be significantly impaired. For this reason, as compared with the structure in which the decorative edge material is provided on the door side and the side plate side of the housing as described above, and the structure in which both decorative edge materials are fitted to each other, the appearance at the time of closing the door is simplified. In some cases, a means to improve is desired.

  In addition, this type of hinge device may be configured such that the vertical axis can be changed in the width direction and the suspension position can be adjusted. Especially in double doors, the joints that occur between the doors are not uniform. It is effective in that it can be resolved.

  However, when such a function is used in the structure of the above-mentioned patent document, when the position of the entire fixing portion is adjusted in the width direction, the decorative edge material attached to the side plate and the decorative edge material attached to the door Since the relative position changes, it is expected that the notch or the hinge device is blocked and cannot be properly concealed by the piece.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object thereof is to provide storage furniture and the like that can appropriately improve the appearance around the hinge with a simpler structure.

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

  That is, the storage device of the present invention uses a hinge device having a fixed portion and a movable portion operable around the vertical axis with respect to the fixed portion, and the fixed portion is fixed to a side plate of the housing whose front surface is open. In addition, the front end of the movable part is attached to the back surface of the door that closes the opening, and the part extending from the back surface to the side end surface of the door is provided with a notch that avoids interference with the hinge device.

The fixed portion has a tip including a standing wall protruding forward from the side plate of the housing so as to bring the vertical shaft forward, and is supported by the fixed portion while being connected to the fixed portion and the movable portion. The elastic engagement portion provided on one side surface of the face material constituting the cover body is elastically engaged, so that the face material is attached in a predetermined posture attached to the standing wall of the fixed portion, and the cover body closes the door. characterized in that so as to close the portion of the side end face of the door in the notch.

  With such a configuration, just attaching the cover body to the fixed part or the vertical shaft produces an effect substantially the same as that of the closing piece, and in addition, partially processing the decorative edge material of the side plate of the housing to make the closing piece And the like can be employed very easily, and the same effects can be obtained even when no decorative edge material is present.

In addition, the cover body can be securely attached by providing an elastic engagement portion on one side surface of the face material and elastically engaging the elastic engagement portion with the vertical shaft.

  In order to appropriately prevent the cover body from falling off, the cover body takes the predetermined posture by rotating around the vertical axis after attaching the elastic engagement portion to the vertical axis, and at that position, the cover body is placed on the inner surface of the standing wall. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a regulating piece that regulates removal from the vertical axis along the thickness direction of the face material.

  Since the present invention has such a structure, the fixing portion is inserted into the hollow side plate having no decorative edge material, and the mounting surface is directly attached to the inner surface of the side plate. Even if the fixing portion is fixed by the fastening tool inserted in the side plate, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In particular, since the cover body has a structure that does not depend on the housing side as described above, when the fixing portion is applied to a storage device in which the hanging position by the vertical axis can be changed in the width direction with respect to the side plate of the housing. It will be extremely useful.

  Then, the cover device is attached to the vertical shaft that connects the fixed portion or the fixed portion and the movable portion as described above to configure the hinge device, or one side surface of the face plate portion is elastic with respect to the shaft of the fixed portion or the hinge device. If the cover body provided with the engaging part which can be engaged is comprised, this invention can be applied suitably for the existing storage apparatus and hinge apparatus.

  In these cases as well, the individual specific means described can be similarly taken.

  Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the cover body and the hinge device attached thereto are applied only to the storage device and the opening / closing device, and are provided on the door and similar members to avoid interference with the hinge device. An excellent effect can be achieved simply and easily by concealing the cutout together with the mechanical parts of the internal hinge device.
