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 Art] For example, furniture 1 such as a sink is often provided with a hanging cabinet above it. At this time, when putting things in and out of the hanging cupboard, it may be necessary to use a step stool such as a stepladder because the hanging cupboard is installed at a high position. In addition, it is troublesome to bring a step stool each time, and it is very time-consuming to take out a step stool that has been stored in a different location, carry it, and then carry it and store it again after use. . Here, Furniture 1 has figures 10 and 11.
An architrave 2 as shown in the figure is attached along the peripheral edge of its lower end. The inside of this 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, a part of the architrave 2 is cut out to make an opening, and the storage body is freely pulled out and inserted into an outer box attached to the inside of this opening, and the foldable step stool is stored in the storage body. Then, the storage body is pulled out from the opening of the architrave 2, and a step stool is assembled so as to be erected on the storage body, and the user climbs onto the step stool to take things in and out of the hanging cabinet. However, at this time, the storage object may naturally come out from the outer box to the outside of the architrave due to vibrations, etc., and if the storage object is protruded outside the architrave in this way, the storage object will end up on the floor. A problem arises in that a person walking on the floor is at risk of stumbling over this housing due to its protruding position.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is to create a furniture architrave that prevents the storage body for storing the step stool from accidentally coming out of the architrave. The purpose of this invention is to provide a step stool storage structure.

[Disclosure of the invention] However, in the furniture architrave step stool storage structure according to the present invention, a part of the architrave 2 of the furniture 1 is cut out.
The outer box 7 is opened on the front side of the architrave 2, and the outer box 7 whose front side is open is attached to the inside of this opening.
A shaft hole 8 is formed in the side panels 11, 11 on both sides of the storage body 5, and a foldable step stool 6 is disposed inside the storage body 5. Rotating shaft 10 attached to 24
is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 8, and this both side plates 1
