DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotating storage device for storing shoes and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as furniture such as a rotary cabinet or rack, a shelf main body is rotatably housed in an outer case opened forward, and, for example, shoes and the like are housed before and after this shelf body. 2. Description of the Related Art It is known that a storage portion is provided so that shoes on a shelf board can be taken out from both front and rear sides of the shelf body and used by inverting the shelf body by 180 °.

[0003]

However, when a shelf body that can be turned 180 ° is stored in a conventional outer case, a space for rotation is secured between the shelf body and the back plate of the outer case. Therefore, there is a problem that a useless space is generated inside the outer case. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to reduce a useless space when rotating a rotating storage body and to increase a rotation amount capable of increasing a storage amount. Another object of the present invention is to provide a rotating storage device capable of smoothly rotating a rotating housing, and another object is to provide a storing device. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary storage device that can further improve efficiency.

[0004]

An upper rail 3 and a lower rail 4 are provided along the front-rear direction C on the upper and lower sides of the storage space B along the front-rear direction C. An upper traveling body 5 and a lower traveling body 6 slidably supported along the upper rail 3 and the lower rail 4 are provided, respectively.
An upper connecting arm 7 rotatable in the horizontal direction about the rear end of the upper rail 3 is provided on one end of the upper surface of the upper rail 3 in the left-right direction D.
Is connected to one end in the left-right direction D of the lower surface of the rotary housing A, and is freely rotatable in the horizontal direction at the same angle as the upper connecting arm 7 around the rear end of the lower rail 4. The connecting ends of the lower connecting arm 8 are connected to each other, and the connecting arms 7, 8 of the rotary housing A are connected by rotating the connecting arms 7, 8 with one of the front opening 1 and the rear opening 2 facing the front. When the arms 7 and 8 are substantially parallel to the rails 3 and 4, the traveling bodies 5 and 6 are moved to the forefront along the rails 3 and 4, and the rotary storage body A is in a horizontal state. The connecting arms 7 and 8 are further rotated from
When the inclination angle of the rails 8 with respect to the rails 3 and 4 becomes the largest, the traveling bodies 5 and 6 move to the rearmost positions along the rails 3 and 4 and are substantially the same as the position of the rotary housing A before rotation. In this position, the rotary housing A is inverted by 180 °, and the other of the front opening 1 or the rear opening 2 of the rotary housing A is configured to face the front. With such a configuration, the rotating container A
At the same position as before rotation by sliding
Since the rotating container A can be rotated by 0 °, the rotating container A can be prevented from protruding rearward during rotation, and objects to be stored can be put in and out of both the front opening 1 and the rear opening 2. Can be increased.

The upper rail 3 includes a fixed rail 9 mounted on the top side of the storage space B, a movable rail 11 mounted on the upper side of the rotary storage body A, and a movable rail 11 extending along the fixed rail 9. And a guide means 13 for guiding the movable rail 11 in a horizontal direction. Body A
180 ° rotation operation can be performed more smoothly.

[0006] to wherein the rotating storage body A is that the shelf plate 14b which is inclined forwardly upward and inclined shelves 14a forwardly downwardly consists shelf body A ₁ disposed alternately on one every In this case, the storage efficiency can be further improved by the inclination of the shelves 14a and 14b.

As described above, since the shelf body A ₁ can be turned 180 ° around the upper and lower rotation shafts 22 and 23 while sliding the shelf body A ₁ forward, the shelf body A ₁ is prevented from protruding backward during rotation. it can. Therefore, there is no need to provide a space for rotation between the shelf body A ₁ and the back plate 21 of the outer case B _{1 as in the related art} , and it is possible to eliminate waste of storage space for the shelf body A ₁ , Shelf body A ₁
Because of or housed shoes from both sides of the front opening 1 and the rear opening 2, you can take out, there is an advantage that amount of storage shelves body A ₁ is increased.

Further, the guide roller 36 pivotally supported by the upper fixed rail 9 is guided along the guide side wall 37 of the movable rail 11, thereby preventing the movable rail 11 from swaying and rattling with respect to the fixed rail 9. can be prevented, it is possible to perform the rotational movement of 180 ° of the shelf body a ₁ more smoothly, usability is improved. Moreover shelf body A ₁ has a shelf plate 14b which is inclined forwardly upward and inclined shelves 14a forwardly downwards are arranged alternately on one every shoe from the front opening 1 on shelves 14a The shoes are stored in the rear opening 2 on the shelf 14b, so that the shoes can be easily stored in the front and rear openings 1 and 2, respectively, and the dead space between the shelves 14a and 14b is eliminated. Also, there is an advantage that the shoe storage efficiency can be improved. In addition, you may make it protrude | project from the front edge of the inclined shelf 14a and the rear edge of the shelf 14b, respectively, in order to prevent shoes from falling.

[0020] In the above embodiment has exemplified the shelf body A ₁ for accommodating the shoe as a rotating storage body A, for example bookshelf Toka clothes, can be applied widely as other storage devices of the article is of course possible. Although illustrated outer casing B ₁ as the storage space B, and instead of the case-like, may be a frame or forms a concave portion which is opened forward part of the wall of a building, the The rotating housing A may be rotatably housed in the concave portion.

Furthermore was then pivot the shelf body A ₁ by hand, the may be caused to automatically rotated using the drive device such as a motor is of course possible.

[0022]
