Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to storage furniture used in offices and other places.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as this type of storage furniture, a plurality of unit furniture units each having side plates on both sides are arranged adjacently with the side plates in contact with each other.
Are known. This type of storage furniture is often arranged as a partition and used as if it were part of a building structure.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Incidentally, in modern offices and the like, with the progress of so-called office automation, there is a tendency for various types of wiring such as power lines and communication lines to be spread all over the place.

However, the main body of the conventional furniture unit is
It has a box shape with a bottom plate, side plates, top plate and back plate. Therefore, even if it becomes necessary to run wiring along storage furniture made by arranging these unit furniture units in a partition-like manner, it is not possible to satisfactorily meet the demand. In other words, in this type of furniture, each furniture unit is installed in a state where it is lifted from the floor using an adjuster or the like, and wiring is not inserted into the bottom space formed between the bottom and the floor. However, when wiring is routed from the ceiling to the bottom space, etc., or from the top of the wall adjacent to this storage furniture to the bottom space, etc., the wiring must be routed outside the storage furniture. I have no choice but to set it up. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is difficult to extend the wiring vertically and horizontally without exposing the wiring.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

[Means for solving the problems] In order to achieve such objects, the present invention has the following features:
The following configuration is adopted.

That is, in the storage furniture according to the present invention, a plurality of unit furniture units each having side plates on both sides and a back interior plate provided between the rear ends of the side plates are arranged adjacent to each other with the side plates in contact with each other. A connecting member that partially connects the rear ends of two side plates that are in contact with each other and has a mounting surface located behind the rear end surfaces of the side plates; It is characterized by comprising a back panel attached to a mounting surface and disposed behind each of the furniture units, and a fastener for removably fixing these back panels to the mounting surface of the connecting member. shall be.

[Function] With such a configuration, a wiring insertion space is formed between the back interior board and the back panel of each furniture unit. Moreover, since the back panel is fixed to the mounting surface of the connecting member located behind the rear end surface of the side plate, in the part where this connecting member is not present, the rear end surface of the side plate and the back A gap will be formed between the panel and the panel. Therefore, all the wiring insertion spaces corresponding to each furniture unit become continuous through this gap. Therefore, it becomes possible to freely insert vertical and horizontal wiring, such as wiring from the ceiling to the floor or wiring from an adjacent wall to the floor, through the wiring insertion space. By removing the back panel, the wiring insertion space can be released to the outside, which increases the degree of freedom of work not only for initial wiring work but also for adding or changing wiring.

When the rear panel 8 is removed, the wiring insertion space S and the space T can be opened to the outside. Therefore, even wires whose both ends are restrained can be freely housed inside or their arrangement can be changed. Therefore, the degree of freedom in wiring work is increased, and it becomes possible to efficiently perform not only initial wiring work but also wiring expansion and modification work.

In addition, as in this embodiment, if the width dimensions of the unit furniture units A ₁ to A ₄ and the back panel 8 are set to dimensions corresponding to the architectural module, the width dimension of the entire storage furniture and its joints can be adjusted. The joints 86 and the like formed in the sections also have the same dimensions as other architectural structures.

Note that the shape and number of the connecting members are not limited to those of the illustrated embodiment, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Further, the structure of the fastening tool is not limited to the above-mentioned one, but if the bottom fastening part is made to be able to support the back panel from below, as in the above embodiment, Fixing work to the connecting member can be performed with each back panel positioned in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is easier to attach the back panel than when tightening and fixing the back panel with a fixing tool while supporting it so that it does not slide downward.
Even if the attachment becomes loose, the attachment position of the back panel will not shift.

Furthermore, the number and form of the furniture units are not limited to those of the above embodiments, and can be modified in various ways.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above configuration, it is possible to expose the upper, lower, left and right wiring to the outside, such as the wiring connecting the ceiling side and the floor side, and the wiring connecting the adjacent wall and the floor. The wiring can be guided freely through the wiring insertion space without any trouble, and if necessary, the wiring insertion space can be opened to the outside, making it easy to conduct new wiring work, wiring expansion/change work, etc. It is possible to provide storage furniture that can also achieve high efficiency.
