Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an underfloor storage, and more particularly to a storage for effectively storing a large amount of daily necessities and the like by effectively utilizing a large underfloor space to prevent a living space from becoming narrow. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recent middle- and high-rise houses such as detached houses and condominiums tend to have a smaller site area and a smaller living space due to the rise in land prices. Otherwise, the living space becomes increasingly narrow, and the inconvenience of physical movement is forced, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, it is very important how to organize and store daily necessities and the like.

For example, an entrance is formed on a floor in a house,
It is common practice to store liquor and kerosene as fuel under the floor.However, such articles are placed directly on the ground under the floor, or a mounting table or mounting plate is provided on the ground, and To keep the article horizontal.

[0004]

However, in the conventional underfloor storage method, since the stored items are simply placed on the ground, the range in which the stored items can be placed is limited to a reachable area, that is, the vicinity immediately below the entrance and exit. The fact is that we cannot store a satisfactory amount.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an underfloor storage in which a large amount of storage can be stored by effectively utilizing a space under the floor and a living space can be prevented from being narrowed. I do.

[0006]

Therefore, in the underfloor storage according to the present invention, an entrance for a stored article is formed on the floor of a building, while a support shaft is provided below the floor at a position away from the entrance. A box body that extends vertically and has a top surface opened so that stored items can be taken in and out is arranged so that a part of the top surface opening faces the entrance, and the box body is rotatable around its center on a support shaft. It is characterized by being supported.

One of the features of the present invention is that a box body from which goods can be taken in and out from above is arranged under the floor, and the box body can be rotated by setting a support shaft at the center of the box body. As a result, the stored items can be stored in the lower part of the floor, and the living space on the floor of the house is arranged, so that the comfort of life is improved. Needless to say, the effect is further increased by providing a plurality of such underfloor storages. Storage items can be taken in and out of the doorway opened on the floor, and the storage items that cannot be reached at the back can be positioned below the doorway by rotating the box.

The support shaft can be mounted on a support base below the floor. The support base below the floor usually means the ground below the floor of the house, but if there is a sufficient space between the ceiling on the first floor and the floor on the second floor and a storage under the floor can be constructed between them, 1 Also includes floor ceilings and beams. The support shaft can also be hung under the floor, ie attached to the back of the floor. In this case, the present invention can be applied not only to the floor under the floor close to the ground but also to the floor below the floor where storage space is difficult to secure, so that the activity space on the floor is further increased. This support shaft may be separately provided with a dedicated support shaft. However, since a large number of columns are generally provided under the floor of the building, such columns may be shared.

The shape of the box is not particularly limited as long as it can be rotated around the support axis, but a circular or polygonal shape is preferable in consideration of well-balanced rotation operability. This box may be a single box with an open upper surface, but it is preferable that the inside of the box be partitioned into a fan shape in consideration of the arrangability of stored items.

The box may be manually rotated by providing a handle or the like, or may be further provided with a driving device and automatically rotated. In the case of automatic rotation, the drive device may be turned ON / OFF by a switch operation. However, considering operation from a distance, the start and / or stop of the rotation of the box by the drive device is controlled by a radio wave device or a sound wave device. You may.

When the inside of the box is partitioned into a fan shape, a partition plate may be provided in the box to partition the box, and a plurality of separated and independent boxes of the same shape or different shapes are combined to form a circular or polygonal shape. May be separated when necessary, and may be combined into a circle or polygon by combining a plurality of separate and independent boxes of the same or different shapes and combining them inseparably. May be. In particular, when the box is configured by combining a plurality of unit boxes in a separable manner, it is possible to provide various combinations according to the types and amounts of the stored items.

The box body may be undecorated, but when the outer surface of the box body is exposed to the living space, the outer surface and the outer bottom surface can be appropriately decorated to give a change. In particular, in the case where the boxes are formed of a combination of unit boxes, if a decoration on the outer surface is applied to each unit box, a desired pattern can be selected like a jigsaw puzzle.

[0013]

According to the present invention, according to the present invention, a box is provided under the floor, and the box is rotated around the support shaft so that necessary storage items are located below the entrance, so that the floor can be protected. The space under the floor has been dramatically increased compared to the conventional underfloor storage method that used only the area directly below the entrance, and articles that had to be placed in the living space can be stored under the floor. It is possible to secure the activity space on the floor by organizing the space.
