Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a step storage structure for the architrave of furniture such as a sink.

[Background technology]

For example, sink furniture 1 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is often provided with a hanging cabinet above it. Since the hanging cabinet is installed at a high position, it may be necessary to use a step stool such as a chair when putting things in or out of the hanging cabinet. It is troublesome to bring a step stool each time, and it is very time-consuming to take out a step stool stored in a different location, carry it, and then carry it and store it again after use. By the way, an architrave 2 is attached to the furniture 1 along the peripheral edge of its lower end, but the inside of the architrave 2 is an unused space, that is, a dead space. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies on using the inside of the architrave 2 as a storage place for a step stool so that the step stool can be used immediately when putting things in and out of the hanging cabinet above the furniture 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, a part of the architrave 2 is cut out and opened, and the inner box 5 is housed in the opening 3 so as to be freely pulled out, and a foldable step stool 6 is attached to the inner box 5. be. And inner box 5
is pulled out from the opening 3 of the architrave 2, a step stool 6 is assembled and erected on the inner box 5, and the user climbs onto the step stool 6 to take things in and out of the hanging cabinet. Here, the inner box 5 is formed into a frame shape by a front plate 4, a side plate 11, and a back plate 12, as shown in FIG. The inner box 5, in which the step stool 6 is housed, can be taken in and out of the outer box 7 at will. Since the edges cannot be held down, the edges of the flooring material must be specially fixed to the floor, resulting in poor workability.Moreover, the inner box 5 is inserted tightly into the opening 8 of the outer box 7. Since the inner box 5 is formed to have approximately the same dimensions as the inside of the opening, there is a drawback that it is difficult to insert the inner box 5 into the outer box 7.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and has good workability as it does not require special pressing and fixing of the ends of flooring materials such as cushion floors.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a step storage structure for architraves of furniture in which it is easy to take in and out the inner box.
