Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage for a customer of propane gas (liquefied petroleum gas such as propane, butane, etc.) to store a propane cylinder and install it outdoors, and more particularly to a door structure thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Such a propane cylinder storage is installed for the purpose of, for example, protecting cylinders and incidental equipment from direct exposure to wind, rain, and sunlight. It is often a small place.

As a door structure of this kind of conventional propane cylinder storage, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3028813, the door is bent in an arc shape in the horizontal direction, and the upper part of the door is the center of the bent arc.
