Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a shelf holding structure suitably used for wooden shelves such as bookshelves.

[Prior Art] The shelf holding structure used for wooden shelves such as bookshelves has so-called dowels protruding horizontally from predetermined locations on the inward facing side of the side panels, and recesses extending from the end surface to the bottom surface of the shelf. It is known that the shelf board is removably installed between the side plates by providing a recessed part and engaging the dowel with the recessed part.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this type of wooden shelf, the lower half of each dowel generally protrudes below the lower surface of each corresponding shelf board. Therefore, in addition to being unsightly, the protruding portion tends to get in the way of putting in and taking out books and the like. Such a problem can be solved by deepening the recess provided in the shelf, but even if this is done, the recess remains open on the lower surface of the shelf, which is undesirable in terms of appearance.

In addition, dowels are generally packaged separately from the main body, but because they are small and can roll, they are easily lost during installation, and if lost, the shelf board cannot be held properly. There is also the question of whether it is possible. Such problems also occur when replacing shelves.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.
