Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a good external appearance, ensure a sufficient storing capacity, and facilitate storing and taking out by a method wherein when a drawer of a storage box is pulled out, a basket can be attached or removed. SOLUTION: A drawer 12 includes a front plate 28 to cover the front surface of a basket 27, bottom members 29 extending rearward from the lower inside surface of the plate 28 to support the basket 27, and a retraction piece 30 protruding upward from the rear end of each of the members 29 to prevent the basket 27 from slipping rearward. As a result, the basket 27 can be attached or detached if required. And since the drawer 12 has no side plate to cover a side surface of the basket 27 supported by the members 29, the basket 21 can be attached or detached even from the left and tight directions by pulling out the drawer 12 forward. Clothes or the like can be easily put into the basket 27 and the basket 27 can be attached to or detached from the drawer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage box.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A room provided adjacent to a bathroom or the like (hereinafter referred to as a bathroom).
In the “utility room”, a vanity stand, a washing machine, and the like are installed and may be used for washing, undressing, changing clothes, washing, and the like. In addition, a shelf for storing a detergent or the like may be installed as built-in furniture or unit furniture. In addition, this shelf is generally an open shelf in many cases, but some have a drawer for small articles.

By the way, when a plastic basket is attached to a washing machine, it is always hooked on the side of the washing machine, and when undressing or changing clothes, dirty clothes are thrown into the basket. Alternatively, clothes are taken from the washing machine to the dry place.

[0004]

In the case where the washing machine is installed adjacent to the vanity stand or the wall of the frame so that there is no space for hanging the basket, the washing machine can hook the basket in front of the washing machine. The basket cannot be used except when it is in use (most modern washing machines do not have such a structure).

On the other hand, some vanity tables and shelves have drawers as described above, and these are all for small items. Therefore, in these cases, there is no place to store the dirty clothes and the clothes after washing as described above, which is very inconvenient. In order to solve this problem, for example, with respect to the conventional shelf described above, a hinge portion is provided at the lower end portion so that the upper portion thereof is inclined in the front direction, and a basket is held inside the door. Considering such a structure, the opening and closing structure of the door (particularly, holding the inclined state) becomes complicated and not only is easily damaged, but also the capacity of the car itself ( It is inevitable to keep the opening area of the upper portion small, and various drawbacks such as difficulty in putting clothes and the like into the car and detaching the car itself are also expected.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can be used for storing dirty clothes, clothes after washing, etc. at the time of undressing, changing clothes, and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage box which does not cause a problem in appearance even when used for a proper storage, can secure a sufficient storage capacity, and can be stored and taken out very easily.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the following technical measures have been taken in order to achieve the above object. That is, the storage box according to the present invention has a drawer, and a basket is provided in the drawer. The basket is detachable with the drawer pulled out forward.

With such a structure, by putting the drawer in a state of being pulled forward, it is possible to easily put each garment or the like into the basket, and it is possible to attach and detach the basket to and from the drawer very easily. In other words, it is possible to use from the left and right sides even in a narrow space (where it is difficult to operate standing in front, etc.) where actual use (such as storing clean clothes, throwing out dirty clothes, etc.) is narrow. is there.

In addition, the basket can have as large a capacity as possible by utilizing almost all of the space above the drawer. Further, the combination of the drawer and the basket has a number of advantages such as a very simple structure and a structure that is hardly damaged.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the storage box 1 according to the present invention is applied as a tall unit furniture, and the storage box 1 includes a vanity table 2, hanging storages 3, 4, a washing machine 5, and the like. The combination of makes it possible to build an integrated utility system.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage box 1 comprises a pair of left and right side plates 8, three upper and lower drawers 10, 11, and 12 provided in the lower half of these side plates 8. And an upper storage portion 13 provided in a half portion. In addition, the lower part of the drawer 12 at the lower part of the drawer 12
Open space 15 that can store a health meter 14 etc.
Is provided. Therefore, in a utility room or the like, there is generally no storage space, and the health meter 14 being driven to the corner of the wall can be neatly arranged in a predetermined arrangement.

The upper storage section 13 is provided with a horizontally opening type door 18, and a shelf board 19 in which the number of installations and the installation height can be changed as desired is detachable. Has become. The opening angle of the door 18 can be limited to about 90 ° or can be widened to about 180 °. Further, whether the door 18 is opened rightward or leftward can be changed by the left and right arrangement of the hinge 21 and the handle 22.

The drawers 10, 11, 12 of each stage are provided with baskets 25, 26, 27, respectively. The difference between these stages is mainly in that the dimension (cage capacity) in the height direction is different, and the others are substantially the same. Therefore, the lowermost drawer 12 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 3, the basket 27 provided in the drawer 12 is formed in a box shape having a mesh structure or a mesh structure using a wire covered with a resin or the like or a wire made of corrosion-resistant metal as a material. It is formed in a box shape by bending a perforated plate or the like, or formed in a box shape with various air permeable structures as an integral body made of plastic.

On the other hand, the drawer 12 has a front plate 28 for hiding the front of the basket 27, a bottom member 29 extending rearward from the lower inner surface of the front plate 28 to support the basket 27,
