First, a basic structure in which the gap closing device according to the present invention can be used will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. In FIG. 1 , reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped storage furniture, and both left and right outer plates 2a and 2b. A bottom plate 6, two vertical partition plates 7 a and 7 b disposed between the bottom plate 6 and the ceiling plate 3, and each vertical partition. The storage compartment is three-dimensionally formed by a plurality of upper and lower shelf plates 8 horizontally installed between the plates 7a, 7b and the left and right outer plates 2a, 2b and between the vertical partition plates 7a, 7b. Doors 9a to 9d that open and close the storage section in the lower end region are also provided. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pair of front and rear bottom plate support plates disposed between the left and right outer plates 2 a and 2 b so as to support the bottom plate 6. The structure in the box-shaped main body 5 of the storage furniture 1 is an example, and the structure is not limited.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage furniture 1 having the above configuration is surrounded by an installation space secured in an existing building, that is, a floor surface 11, left and right wall surfaces 12 a and 12 b, and a ceiling surface 13. The back plate 4 of the storage furniture 1 is installed adjacent to the vertical wall surface 14 in the installation space 15 whose back side is closed by the vertical wall surface 14 and whose front side is open. At this time, gap closing devices 16a, 16b, 17 according to the present invention are attached in advance to the outside of the left and right outer plates 2a, 2b of the storage furniture 1 and the outside of the ceiling plate 3.

  The gap closing devices 16a and 16b on both the left and right sides have a length extending over the entire height of the left and right outer plates 2a and 2b. The adjustment support 18 is provided at three positions near the upper and lower ends and an intermediate height. Thus, a vertical gap closing member 19 attached to the left and right outer plates 2a, 2b of the storage furniture 1 is provided. The ceiling-side gap closing device 17 has a horizontal length that fits exactly between the left and right side wall surfaces 12a, 12b that form the building-side installation space 15, and has three locations near the left and right ends and an intermediate position. Are each provided with a horizontal gap closing member 21 which is attached to the ceiling plate 3 of the storage furniture 1 by means of the adjusting support 20.

  Since the gap closing devices 16a and 16b on the left and right sides have a bilaterally symmetric structure, the detailed structure of the gap closing device 16a on one side shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described. Through holes 22 that penetrate horizontally through the outer side plate 2a are formed at three locations in the upper and lower positions where the adjustment support 18 is disposed, and insert nuts 23 are press-fitted and fixed to the respective through holes 22 from the outside. ing. This insert nut 23 is a well-known one, and is provided with a female threaded hole that is concentrically penetrated on the outer peripheral surface by integrally forming annular retaining saw-shaped protrusions in a plurality of stages in the axial direction. Strike the through hole 22 having a diameter slightly larger than the minimum outer diameter of the insert nut 23 from the outside of the outer plate 2a to a depth where the outer end surface of the insert nut 23 is flush with the outer surface of the outer plate 2a. As a result, the protrusions for retaining can bite into the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole 22 and are fixed in the retaining state. Of course, without using such an insert nut 23, various nuts having a female screw hole may be internally fitted and fixed to the through hole 22 by an appropriate means.

  Each adjustment support 18 includes a screw shaft portion 24 that threadably penetrates the insert nut 23 from the outer side of the outer plate 2a, and a support flange portion 25 that is integrally formed concentrically with the outer end of the screw shaft portion 24. The rotation operation portion 26 is provided at the inner end of the screw shaft portion 24. As the rotation operation unit 26, a recessed portion for inserting a plus driver shown in the figure concentrically engraved on the inner end of the screw shaft portion 24, or a box spanner fitting projecting concentrically from the inner end of the screw shaft portion 24. A combined square shaft can be used.

  The vertical gap closing member 19 supported by the three upper and lower adjustment supports 18 includes an inner member 27 made of hard synthetic resin, and an outer side made of soft synthetic resin fixed to the outside of the inner member 26 with an adhesive or the like. The member 28 is comprised. The inner member 26 is formed so that a concave groove portion 29 into which the support collar portion 25 of the adjustment support tool 18 is relatively rotatably fitted is continuous over the entire length, and inward from both sides of the concave groove portion 29. A pair of projecting front and rear projecting plate portions 30a and 30b are integrally formed. The concave groove portion 29 has a cross-sectional shape including a pair of front and rear extending groove portions 29a and 29b that grip both sides in the diameter direction of the support collar portion 25 of the adjustment support tool 18. Accordingly, the adjustment support 18 is configured to fit the supporting flange 25 to one end in the length direction of the concave groove portion 29 that is released at both ends in the length direction of the vertical gap closing member 19, and within the concave groove portion 29. By sliding the supporting collar 25 relatively in the length direction of the vertical gap closing member 19, it can be arranged at a predetermined position in the length direction of the vertical gap closing member 19. On the other hand, a pair of front and rear projecting plate portions 30a and 30b on the side of the vertical gap closing member 19 is freely movable in and out of the outer plate 2a of the storage furniture 1 so as to sandwich the three through holes 22 on the outer surface. A pair of front and rear grooves 31a and 31b that are loosely fitted to the outer plate 2a are carved over the entire height of the outer plate 2a.

Thus, the gap closing devices 16a and 16b having the above-described configuration are arranged in the positions near the front side on the outside of the left and right outer plates 2a and 2b of the storage furniture 1 before being installed in the installation space 15 on the building side. The holes 22 and the pair of front and rear grooves 31a and 31b are used for vertical attachment. That is, the three adjustment support members 18 are screwed through the insert nuts 23 from the outsides of the through holes 22 through the respective screw shaft portions 24 in advance. At this time, a small-diameter step portion 25a is formed concentrically on the inside of the support collar portion 25 of the adjustment support tool 18, and the small-diameter step portion 25a is screwed to a certain depth so as to abut against the outer surfaces of the outer plates 2a and 2b. When the shaft portion 24 is screwed, a gap necessary for inserting and attaching the vertical gap closing member 19 from above is secured between the peripheral portion of the supporting flange portion 25 and the outer plates 2a and 2b. It is desirable to keep it. Next, the concave groove 29 of the vertical gap closing member 19 (inner member 27) is sequentially formed from the lower end in the length direction with respect to the supporting flange 25 of each adjustment support 18 protruding from the outer plates 2a and 2b. The vertical gap closing member 19 is attached to the outside of the left and right outer plates 2a and 2b of the storage furniture 1 by moving the vertical gap closing member 19 downward along the outer plates 2a and 2b so as to be fitted. At this time, since the entire screw shaft portion 24 of each adjustment support tool 18 is buried in the through hole 22, the outer surface of the vertical gap closing member 19, that is, the outer surface 28a of the outer member 28 is In this state, the outer plates 2a and 2b are closest to each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the ceiling plate 3 of the storage furniture 1 to which the ceiling-side gap closing device 17 is attached has three front positions near the left and right ends and a central position. Through holes 32 penetrating in the vertical direction are provided at positions close to the sides (sides on the front side of the storage furniture 1), and insert nuts in the mounting structure of the gap closing devices 16a and 16b on the left and right sides are provided in the respective through holes 32. The same insert nut 33 as 23 is press-fitted and fixed from the upper surface side of the ceiling plate 3. The adjustment support 20 is attached to the insert nut 33 in each of the through holes 32. The adjustment support 20 and the adjustment support 18 used for attaching the gap closing devices 16a and 16b on both the left and right sides have the same structure. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given and description of the structure is omitted. Thus, in the ceiling-side gap closing device 17 mounting structure, the counterbore recess 32 a into which the small-diameter step portion 25 a of the adjustment support 20 is fitted is formed in the upper end opening of each through-hole 32. .

  The horizontal gap closing member 21 used in the ceiling-side gap closing device 17 is composed of an inner member 34 made of hard synthetic resin and an outer member 35 made of soft synthetic resin fixed to the upper side with an adhesive or the like, The inner member 34 has a vertical front side plate 36 and a lower open side formed so that the supporting flanges 25 of the respective adjustment support tools 20 are fitted to the back side of the intermediate height of the vertical front side plate 36 so as to be relatively rotatable. And the upward vertical plate portion 38 extending vertically upward from the rear side of the concave groove portion 37. The outer member 35 includes an upper half portion of the front plate 36 of the inner member 34. It fits in the upper open groove between the upward vertical plate 38 and is fixed by an adhesive or the like. The outer member 35 has a stepped single-edged shape in which the rear side above the upward vertical plate portion 38 is obliquely cut, and is configured so that the upward pointed portion 35a is easily elastically deformed.

  The gap closing device 17 configured as described above is located above the ceiling plate 3 of the storage furniture 1 before being installed in the building-side installation space 15 and with the gap closing devices 16a and 16b on the left and right sides attached as described above.
