[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to a rear side of a storage section by reversing the storage section provided with front and rear storage shelves and storage baskets supported in a storage case while advancing or moving backward. The present invention relates to a storage device capable of directing a storage portion toward the front.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of storage device has been developed and commercialized in Europe and the United States. The applicant is
The structure of the prior art will be described with reference to the storage device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-171024, which has been filed and known in Japan.

This storage device is, as described in the publication,
The main body has an open front surface, the upper and lower surfaces in the main body are respectively provided along the width direction, and the guide rails are curved in an arc shape toward the rear in the depth direction of the main body. A holding body for holding an article, which is provided by slidably engaging the upper end and the lower end of the one end in the width direction with the guide rail, and the width direction central portions of the upper surface and the lower surface in the main body, respectively. A slide rail provided along the front-rear direction, a state of the widthwise central portion of the holding body and a lower end thereof are rotatably provided and slidably engaged with the slide rail,
And a slider that slides in the front-rear direction along the slide rail when the holder is rotated by sliding the roller along the guide rail.

[0004]

However, in the storage device having the above-mentioned conventional structure, the roller provided at one end of the holding body is engaged with the position along the rear surface side of the guide rail. The movement in the front-rear direction corresponds to the shape of the guide rail. Of course, with this configuration, the holding frame does not move carelessly back and forth, but for example, a large load is applied to the holding body, or the holding body is slightly warped due to long-term use. When the deformation occurs, the upper and lower rollers may press the corresponding guide rails to cause a smooth movement along the guide rails, that is, a situation in which the holding body is not smoothly inverted. Further, when the storage device is used for a long period of time, a similar situation may occur even when the guide rail is slightly deformed such as unevenness or dust is accumulated around the guide rail. Moreover, when such a situation occurs, it is often impossible to restore the guide rail or the roller unless the guide rail or the roller is once removed, and the countermeasure is complicated and complicated.

The present invention has been proposed in order to eliminate such a problem, and a storage portion having storage portions on the front side and the rear side is provided at a substantially central portion of a storage case having a front opening, and a slide rail is provided. It is rotatably provided through the housing and can be moved in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, a roller is provided at one end of the storage part, and the storage part is biased by a spring in the back direction of the storage case, so that the roller is stored in the storage case. By pressing the arc-shaped surface portion formed from both side surfaces toward the rear surface direction inside, when reversing the storage portion, the roller on one end side of this storage portion is run along the surface portion while the entire storage portion is moved. You can easily turn the storage part on the back side of the storage part to the front direction by moving it in the front-rear direction and turning it upside down. When force is applied or the surface is deformed, the storage part moves freely in the sliding direction in response to the biasing force of the spring, so the roller moves away from the surface and the storage part moves forward. Therefore, even if an external obstacle is added to the smooth running of the roller, stable running can be expected without difficulty of running, and the storage section can be stably inverted, which is convenient. An object is to provide a good storage device.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The storage device of the present invention proposed to achieve the above object has an arc-shaped curved surface portion formed in both sides of a storage case having an open front surface in a rear portion. Further, slide rail main body portions of slide rails each composed of a pair of upper and lower slide rails are fixed to central and front-rear positions on the upper surface and the lower surface in the storage case, and the slider portions of these slide rails are attached to the storage case. The central upper end and the central lower end of the accommodating portion formed substantially along the opening are rotatably pivoted respectively, and the accommodating portion is biased by a spring in the depth direction of the accommodating case, The roller supported on the substantially lateral end of the storage portion is pressed against the surface portion, and when a rotational force is applied to the storage portion, the roller runs along the surface portion. Housing section is characterized by being configured to invert with forward or backward by the slide rail.

The storage device according to the present invention stores a storage part for mounting articles such as clothing, or a suspension part for suspending them, on the front and back sides of the storage part supported in the storage device. Parts are distributed and prepared.

The storage portion has a shape along the opening of the storage case, and is movable in the front-rear direction via slide rails provided at the central front-rear direction positions on the upper and lower surfaces of the storage case. Moreover, it is rotatably supported in the storage case.

The slide rails are provided one by one in the upper and lower directions, and each of the upper and lower slide rails is composed of a slide rail body portion fixed to the storage case side and a slider portion pivotally attached to the storage portion side. The slide rail body portion and the slider portion are slidably combined. A bearing and a retainer are provided between the slide rail body portion and the slider portion in order to facilitate the sliding. Also, one end of a spring that retains a compressive force in the pulling direction is supported on the slide rail body side, and the other end of this spring is supported by the slider part, forcing the slider part, that is, the storage part, in the back direction of the storage case. Are being actively urged. For this reason, the roller supported at one end of this storage portion presses the curved surface portion in an arc shape from both sides in the storage case to the rear portion by this biasing force, and by configuring in this way,
When a force is applied to the storage portion in the rotation direction, the roller runs along the surface portion.

The surface portion provided in the storage device of the present invention may be integrally formed on the inner side surface or the back surface of the storage case, but it stabilizes the support on one end side of the holder, It is preferable to use, for example, an arc-shaped prism that is separately configured on the upper and lower surfaces of the storage case so as not to interfere with the shelves and baskets provided in the holder. In addition,
The surface portion may be arcuate, elliptic arcuate, or arcuate along the inner and outer surfaces of the storage device.
That is, even if the surface portion has an arc shape, it is supported by the slider and the storage portion moves back and forth, so that there is no obstacle in the reversing direction.

Therefore, when a rotational force in a predetermined direction is applied to the storage portion, the storage portion is reversed in the reversing direction while being biased in the back direction of the storage case, and at the time of reversing, the roller moves along the surface portion. Therefore, the one end side of the storage portion moves, that is, the storage portion moves back and forth according to the shape of the surface portion. Moreover, since the storage portion and the roller are guided by the surface portion by the biasing force of the spring, for example, a large load is applied to the storage portion due to the stored items, or the surface portion is deformed due to long-term use. Also, since the roller can move the storage part forward against the biasing force of the spring, if the above-mentioned obstacle occurs in the running of the roller, the roller may leave the surface part and overcome this obstacle. Therefore, the storage section can always be turned over with a smooth forward and backward movement. Further, for example, even if a situation occurs in which dust is accumulated around the roller or the surface portion and the traveling or smooth inversion cannot be performed, the storage portion can be forcibly moved in the front direction and turned over, so It can be easily removed. Similarly, even if a situation such as damage to the roller that requires replacement or repair occurs, the roller is located on the front side of the surface,
Moreover, as described above, since the storage portion can be forcibly rotated, the rollers can be easily replaced and repaired.
