Description

  The present invention relates to storage furniture and a fixture used for the storage furniture.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, storage furniture is known in which a side plate and a back plate do not reach a floor surface such as between entrance soils, a bottom plate is not provided, and a lower end is opened. This type of storage furniture is mainly used by being installed at the entrance, and can effectively store objects such as golf bags and baby strollers between entrance soils.

  However, storage furniture that has a lower end open and does not have a bottom plate as described above may have structural instability due to insufficient strength at the lower end depending on the fixed state between the lower end of the side plate and the lower end of the back plate. was there.

  Therefore, in order to eliminate such structural instability, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, convenience is provided while retaining the rigidity of the bottom part by making the other part detachable while leaving a part of the bottom plate. Or a technique for improving the rigidity of the bottom by laying a support member between the left and right side plates, or as shown in FIG. 5, at the corner between the lower end of the side plate S and the lower end of the back plate B, There has been proposed a technique for fixing a fixing bracket 1 made of a metal plate having a substantially L-shaped cross section with screws 2 or the like.

JP 2003-265244 A

  However, among the above conventional techniques, in the case of a technique for leaving a part of the bottom plate, a plurality of types of bottom plates having different sizes must be prepared depending on the size of the storage furniture, etc. There was a problem that it increased in number and required time for construction. In addition, in the case of a technique for installing a support member between the side plates, safety may be lowered depending on the exposed state of the support member, or the stored items may be caught and difficult to store. There was also a problem that aesthetics would be damaged. Furthermore, in the case of the technique using the fixture 1 as shown in FIG. 5, stress is applied to the fixture 1 from the side plate S or the back plate B in the thickness direction of the fixture 1. Therefore, in order to secure the rigidity of the lower end of the storage furniture, the thickness of the fixing bracket 1 must be increased. In this way, increasing the thickness of the fixing bracket 1 leads to an increase in cost, and the lower end portion of the storage furniture. There is a problem that the attached thick fixing bracket 1 becomes conspicuous and the aesthetic appearance is impaired.

  Therefore, the main problem of the present invention is that it has sufficient rigidity even though there is no bottom plate and the lower end is open, and the number of parts is not unnecessarily increased and the construction is simple and easy to use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage furniture excellent in aesthetics, which does not hinder safety at the time and does not cause the storage object to be caught, and a fixing metal fitting used for such storage furniture.
