Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an underfloor storage, particularly to an underfloor storage having an internal space through which people can enter and exit.

[Background Art] The above-mentioned underfloor storage is usually buried underground. In addition, in cases where the interior space is not completely underground but is entered and exited through an opening in the floor, people may accidentally remove the lid that closes the floor opening and attempt to descend inside. There is a risk of falling. In addition, although lighting must be provided inside, the opening in the floor surface was sometimes closed while the lighting was on.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to eliminate the danger of a person falling from the floor with the lid removed, and to
To provide an underfloor storage that facilitates storage and flashing of lights.

[Disclosure of the Invention] Accordingly, the present invention provides a storage cabinet installed below an opening in a floor surface provided with a lid, and in which a path in the upper part of the internal space passes below an entrance on the top surface of the storage cabinet that is connected to the opening. A storage box with an open top that moves horizontally, and a ladder that can be switched between a usage state and a storage state in conjunction with the horizontal movement of the storage box, and the storage box is fixed at a position below this doorway. The present invention relates to an underfloor storage, which is provided with a locking means for locking and a lighting switch that blinks an internal light in conjunction with the locking means. do. The illustrated storage shed 1 is what is called a semi-underground storage shed, and the majority of it is buried underground, and has an entrance/exit 2 on the top surface located above the ground level GL. hand,
This entrance/exit 2 is arranged directly below an opening 3 formed in the floor surface FL. 4 is a lid that closes this opening 3, and B is a base. The internal space of the storage 1 is large enough for a person to enter, and is equipped with shelves 9, lighting 8, a ladder 7, etc., and the upper part is used to store items that are used relatively frequently. A storage box 5 with an open top surface is arranged horizontally movably. As shown in FIG. 3, this storage box 5 is suspended from a long slider 12 that is slidably engaged with a rail 10 with rollers 11 that is fixed to the ceiling surface of the storage 1 with a fixture 14. It is suspended by a hook 13, and a lid 20 is placed on the top surface. 21 is a hanging fitting surrounding the outer surface of the storage box 5, 22 is an upper frame, and 23 is a lower frame. The storage box 5, which is horizontally movable in this way, is positioned below the doorway 2 when moved in one direction, and the locking means 6 is locked in this position.
As a result, it becomes more and more locked. As shown in FIG.
It consists of a latch lever 16 arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the storage box 5, and a latch receiver 17 fixed to the upper surface of the storage box 5. is biased in the direction of engagement. The storage box 5 locked by the locking means 6 closes the entrance 2 of the storage 1, and the lid 20 on the top functions as an inner lid positioned below the lid 4. . Also, the locking means 6
An illumination switch S formed by a limit switch is arranged behind the latch lever 16. This lighting switch S is turned on and off each time it is pressed, and the latch lever 1
When the latch lever 6 is raised and disengaged from the latch receiver 17, the latch lever 16 raised at this time is pushed and turned on, causing the illumination 8 to be turned on. Further, when the storage box 5 is returned and the latch receiver 17 is re-engaged with the latch lever 16, the latch lever 16 which is pushed by the latch receiver 17 and is raised presses the lighting switch S, so that it is turned off and the lighting 8 is turned off. 2 in Figure 4
4 is a terminal block.

Further, the storage box 5 here is connected to the lower end of the ladder 7 with a wire 25. This is because when the storage box 5 is moved from below the doorway 2 to the side and the doorway 2 is opened, the ladder 7, which had been in a leaning state because the storage box 5 was previously located below the doorway 2, is opened. However, it is slanted to make it easier to climb up and down. That is, the upper end of the ladder 7 is pivoted to the side of the upper entrance/exit 2 of the storage 1 by a vertically slidable shaft 24, and the lower end of the ladder 7 and the storage box 5 are connected by a wire 25. . 26 is a roller that guides the wire 25 and is fixed to the storage 1. When the storage box 5 is moved sideways from the position below the doorway 2, the wire 2
At 5, the lower end of the ladder 7 is pulled so that the ladder 7 is tilted as shown by the dashed line in FIG. Therefore, in order to enter the storage cabinet 1, there is no need to move the storage box 5 and the ladder 7, but it is now sufficient to simply move the storage box 5, which is the inner lid. In addition, when exiting from storage 1, please use ladder 7.
After climbing up and exiting, if the storage box 5 is returned below the doorway 2, the ladder 7 will be pushed back by the storage box 5. You can set up ladder 7 first and climb up.
Even if the ladder 7 is erected, the storage box 5 does not move to the point where the doorway 2 is closed, so it can be exited from the doorway 2. After exiting, if the storage box 5 is moved until the doorway 2 is closed, it will be locked by the locking means 6, and the storage box 5 will not move inadvertently and the doorway 2 will not open until the locking means 6 is released. .

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, a storage box with an open top surface is provided in the upper part of the internal space and moves horizontally along a path passing below the doorway on the top surface of the storage container, which is connected to a series of openings on the floor surface. Since a locking means is provided to secure the storage box at a position below this doorway, items that are used relatively frequently can be stored in the storage box to prevent them from going down into the storage area. Most things can be put in and taken out, and since this storage box moves horizontally, it does not get in the way of getting in and out of the storage, and it can be secured with a lock below the doorway. This can also prevent accidents such as people accidentally falling into the storage compartment. Furthermore, since a ladder is provided that can be switched between the usage state and storage state in conjunction with the horizontal movement of the storage box, the ladder does not get in the way of positioning the storage box below the doorway. Of course, since the ladder is put into use by moving the storage box from below the doorway, there is no need for any operation to put the ladder into use, which is safe and convenient. In addition, since it is equipped with a light switch that blinks the light in conjunction with the locking means, there is no need to operate the light switch when entering the storage room, and there is no need to turn off the light. This prevents the situation where the door is closed while the light is on.
