Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage rack.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a storage shelf includes one or a plurality of shelves and support members for supporting the left and right ends of the shelves.
It is composed of a ceiling member and a base member which are erected between the upper end and the lower end of the column member, and is designed in consideration of the basic function of storing books, small articles, ornaments and the like.

[0003]

However, in the case of waiting for customers or family members, a living room, a study, or the like is required to have a decorative effect as an interior.

The present invention has been made in view of such a tendency, and in addition to the storage function, the storage shelf can be added with visual comfort utilizing illumination which is a decorative effect as an interior. It provides a shelf.

[0005]

According to the present invention, one or a plurality of shelves, support members for supporting the left and right ends of the shelves, and bridges between the upper and lower ends of the support members are installed. An illumination box including a ceiling member and a foundation member, and a light source built in the pillar member or the ceiling member and the foundation member is formed, and a photoconductive plate is installed between the illumination boxes on the wall surface side of the shelf board. The light from the light source of the illumination box is guided to the photoconductive plate to cause surface emission.

[0006]

When the light source of the illumination box is turned on, the light enters the inside of the photoconductive plate, is reflected by the reflection layer and emits light over the entire surface, and illuminates the interior of the room from the wall surface side of the storage shelf.

As a result, in addition to the storage function, the storage shelf can be provided with visual comfort using illumination.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a storage rack 1 according to the present invention. The storage shelf 1 is provided between a plurality of shelves 2, a pair of support members 3 standing upright along the wall surface that supports the left and right ends of the shelf 2, and is installed between the upper ends of the support members 3. The ceiling member 4 and the base member 5 installed between the lower ends thereof. The column member 3 is formed in an illumination box having a fluorescent lamp 31 as a light source built therein, and is located on the wall surface side of the shelf board 2 between the column members 3 on the left and right. A photoconductive plate 6 is installed.

On the other hand, the photoconductive plate 6 is, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of an acrylic resin transparent plate 61 on which a reflective layer 62 is dot-printed on the back surface, and a diffusion sheet 63 and a backup sheet 64 attached to the front surface and the back surface of the acrylic resin transparent plate 61, respectively. The left and right edges of the photoconductive plate 6 are sandwiched between the above-mentioned strut members 3. As a result, when the light source 31 is energized, the light enters the acrylic resin transparent plate 61 from its left and right end surfaces, is reflected by the reflective layer 62, and goes out to the surface side. At this time, the backup sheet 64 is
Light is prevented from leaking to the back side from other than the reflective layer 62 by dot printing, and the diffusion sheet 63 homogenizes the light going out from the front side and makes the entire photoconductive plate 6 emit light. .

Therefore, in the storage shelf 1, the light source 31
By turning on, the entire surface of the photoconductive plate 6 emits light, and the interior of the storage shelf 1 can be illuminated from the wall surface side. In addition to the storage function, the storage shelf adds visual comfort by illumination. be able to. Further, there is an advantage that maintenance and inspection is easier than in the case where the lighting device is arranged on the ceiling or the upper part of the wall surface.

In this embodiment, an example in which the lighting box is formed on the supporting column member 3 has been illustrated.
Alternatively, the lighting box may be separately manufactured, and the lighting box may be attached to the column member 3. In this case, the lighting function can be added to the existing storage shelves.

An illumination box may be formed on the ceiling member 4 and the base member 5 of the storage shelf 1.

Further, the storage rack 1 can be directly attached to the wall surface in a suspended manner.

Further, the photoconductive plate 6 in the above-mentioned embodiment.
In the above, the diffusion sheet 63 is attached to the surface side of the example, but even if the diffusion sheet 63 is replaced with a solvent to form frosted glass, the entire surface of the photoconductive plate 6 can be made to uniformly emit light. .

Further, the light entering from the end face of the acrylic resin transparent plate 61 gradually attenuates and becomes dark, but depending on the illumination range or the length of the acrylic resin transparent plate 61, the light amount of the light source 31 should be further increased. Due to the diffusion sheet 6
It is not always necessary to attach No. 3.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, an illumination box having a built-in light source is formed in a column member or a ceiling member and a foundation member which form a storage shelf, and a wall surface of a shelf board is provided between the illumination boxes. By arranging a photoconductive plate located on the side of the storage box, and illuminating light from the light source of the lighting box to the surface of the photoconductive plate to illuminate the surface, it is possible to illuminate a large area from the wall side of the storage shelf. In addition to the storage function, it is possible to add a decorative effect as an interior, specifically, visual comfort using lighting.
