好適と考える本発明の実施形態を、図面に基づいて本発明の作用を示して簡単に説明する。   An embodiment of the present invention which is considered to be suitable will be briefly described with reference to the drawings showing the operation of the present invention.

例えば、引出式収納ケース1の端部とこの引出式収納ケース1に連結するパイプハンガー2Aの端部とを突き合せ連結する際、突き合せ連結する突き合せ端部3,4同士を上下方向若しくは前後方向に相対移動させることで、一方の突き合せ端部3に凹設した第一凹条部5に他方の突き合せ端部4に凸設した第一凸部7をスライド配設するとともに、他方の突き合せ端部4に凹設した第二凹条部6に一方の突き合せ端部3に凸設した第二凸部8をスライド配設すると、第一凸部7,第二凸部8同士が互いに重合係合することで、突き合せ端部3,4同士は突き合せ方向に対する離反不能状態に連結する。また、第一凸部7,第二凸部8夫々が第一凹条部5,第二凹条部6夫々の対向壁部間に係合することになる為、例えば第一凸部7,第二凸部8夫々と第一凹条部5,第二凹条部6とが突き合せ端部3,4同士を上下方向に相対移動させることでスライド配設する構造の場合には、突き合せ端部3,4同士における前後方向への移動は阻止され、例えば、第一凸部7,第二凸部8夫々と第一凹条部5,第二凹条部6とが突き合せ端部3,4同士を前後方向に相対移動させることでスライド配設する構造の場合には、突き合せ端部3,4同士における上下方向への移動は阻止されることになる。 For example, when connecting butt with the end of the pullout storage case 1 and the end portion of the pipe hanger 2A connecting to the pullout storage case 1, the butt ends 3 and 4 with each other for connecting abutting vertically or By relatively moving in the front-rear direction, the first convex portion 7 projecting from the other butted end 4 is slid and disposed on the first concave strip 5 recessed at one butted end 3; When a second convex portion 8 projecting from one butted end 3 is slid and disposed on a second concave strip 6 that is recessed at the other butted end 4, the first convex 7 and the second convex When the eights are overlapped with each other, the butted end portions 3 and 4 are connected to each other in an inseparable state with respect to the butting direction. Moreover, since each of the 1st convex part 7 and the 2nd convex part 8 will engage between the opposing wall parts of each of the 1st groove part 5 and the 2nd groove part 6, for example, the 1st convex part 7, In the case of a structure in which each of the second convex portions 8 and the first concave ridge portion 5 and the second concave ridge portion 6 are slid by moving the butted end portions 3 and 4 relative to each other in the vertical direction, Movement in the front-rear direction between the mating end portions 3 and 4 is prevented, for example, the first convex portion 7 and the second convex portion 8, and the first concave portion 5 and the second concave portion 6, respectively. In the case of a structure in which the parts 3 and 4 are slid by moving the parts 3 and 4 relative to each other in the front-rear direction, movement in the vertical direction between the butted end parts 3 and 4 is prevented.

この構成から、凸部と凹部における連結強度を確保しつつ凸部における突き合せ端部3,4からの突出量を可及的に抑制することができる。   With this configuration, it is possible to suppress as much as possible the protruding amount from the butt end portions 3 and 4 in the convex portion while ensuring the connection strength between the convex portion and the concave portion.

即ち、本発明は、前述したように互いに重合係合する凸部夫々をスライド配設する凹部を突き合せ端部3,4夫々に凹設した構成とすることで、この凸部と凹部の連結構造が突き合せ端部3,4夫々の内側に入り込んだ状態となり、よって、結果的に凸部における突き合せ端部3,4からの突出量が可及的に抑制されることになる。   That is, according to the present invention, as described above, the concave portions in which the convex portions that are overlapped and engaged with each other are slid and disposed at the butted end portions 3 and 4, respectively. The structure enters the inside of each of the butted ends 3 and 4, and as a result, the amount of protrusion from the butted ends 3 and 4 at the convex portion is suppressed as much as possible.
