[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, the clog box 1 according to the present invention is a clog box for storing lower legs, and has a structure having a chair function A that can be put in and out toward the front.

The chair function A is provided with a pivoting door 3 that pivots from a vertical position to a horizontal position with the pivot 2 as a fulcrum at the front of the clog box. Or a chair 7 or a slide plate 8 that can be slid out of the clog box storage section.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below.
The present invention is characterized by a structure provided with a chair function A that can be put in and out toward the front in a geta box 1 for storing lower legs. The chair function A does not impair the storage space of the clog box as much as possible, as shown in the following embodiments,
Further, a structure that can be easily taken in and out is preferable.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first example of the chair function A.
In this embodiment, a rotating door 3 is provided at a part of the front surface of the clog box 1 to rotate from a vertical position to a horizontal position about a pivot 2 as a fulcrum. The turning door 3 is supported on the vertical wall surfaces 1a, 1a of the clog box 1 at the left and right side end faces by an extensible turning arm 4. The end is received by the lower surface of the fixed shelf plate 5 provided in the shoe box, and the tip is stably held by the rotating arm 4. Thereby, when the turning door 3 is turned horizontally, it can be used as a chair. Also,
When the revolving door 3 is returned to the vertical position, the position is held by an appropriate catch. In the above embodiment, the rear end is received by the fixed shelf plate 5 when the pivoting door 3 is pivoted horizontally. However, if the pivot 2 is manufactured with sufficient strength to withstand a load. The holding by the fixed shelf 5 can be omitted.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show a second embodiment of the chair function A. The chair function A can be folded at the tip of the turning door 3 instead of the turning arm 4 of the first embodiment. Legs 6
Is provided. When the pivoting door 3 is closed in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. 3, the leg rod 6 is folded toward the rear side of the door, and the pivoting door 3 is rotated in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. Sometimes, it is used as a leg for stably holding the front end of the door by pivoting downward about the pivot 6a as a fulcrum.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the chair function A, which has a structure in which the chair body 7 can be taken in and out of the clog box storage portion like a drawer. The chair body 7 shown in the embodiment is formed in a U-shape in which the opening is downward when viewed from the front so that the storage space of the storage section can be effectively used when stored in a shoe box. .

FIGS. 6 to 8 show a fourth embodiment of the chair function A, which is a slide plate 8 which is substantially a chair plate.
Are configured to be able to be taken in and out of the clog box storage along the left and right rails 9, 9. A foldable leg 10 is provided at the front end of the lower surface of the slide plate 8, and when the slide plate 8 is pulled forward, the slide plate 8 is rotated downward with the pivot 10a as a fulcrum to stably hold the slide plate. Used as a leg for.

FIG. 9 shows a fifth embodiment of the chair function. The lower end of the pivot 11 is attached to the outer surface of the side wall 1a of the clog box.
There is provided a rod 12 that pivots forward from a vertical position to a horizontal position with a pivot as a fulcrum. One end of a chair plate 13 is rotatably attached to the rod 12. A foldable leg 14 is provided on the back of the chair plate. When using the chair function of this embodiment, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 9, the rod 12 is tilted forward to rotate the chair plate 13 in a horizontal state, and the leg 14 is hinged to the hinge portion 14a.
Is used as a pivot point. Incidentally, the structure of the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 can be set inside a geta box.

Each of the chair functions A shown in each of the above embodiments is designed so that the storage space of the clog box 1 is not significantly impaired, whereby a reduction in the amount of lower leg storage can be suppressed.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the structures of the embodiments, but has the constituent elements and achieves the object of the present invention. The present invention can be appropriately modified within the range in which the effects can be obtained.

[0014]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to attach and detach the shoes and the like in a comfortable posture by taking out the chair function as needed and using it as a chair.
