Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively utilize a shelf, by a method wherein a moving member is secured to the lower end of the pedestal of a shelf, guide rails for the moving member are longitudinally and laterally laid, the installation position of the shelf is decided according to the using frequency of each shelf and the shelf is moved and installed. CONSTITUTION:Tiles 1, in each of which two lines of grooves 3 are longitudi nally and laterally formed, are laid on a floor surface, and longitudinal and lateral guide rails 4 are formed with the grooves 3. Meanwhile, a moving mem ber 12 utilizing balls is mounted to the lower end of a pedestal 6 of a shelf 2, and is situated movably in the guide rails 4. A plurality of insertable type shelf plates 8 are positioned to each shelf 2. The using frequency of each shelf 2 is decided by a proper method, for example, by counting avallability by means of a box switch mounted to each shelf 2, and the shelf having the high using frequency is moved and situated in a position where the shelf is easy to handle. The movement is effected by means of the moving member 12 and the guide rails 4. This constitution enables effective utilization of the shelves.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to article storage equipment.

[Background of the invention]

Shelves are the most common type of equipment for storing things and are used in a wide range of fields. For example, hospitals store medical equipment and drugs, assembly plants store small parts, etc., and banks, trading companies, insurance companies, etc. store huge amounts of documents. As mentioned above, shelves are used in various fields.

Although the structure of the above-mentioned shelves may vary slightly depending on the field of use, the basic structure is that a plurality of shelf boards parallel to the floor are supported by column bases or the like. and,
It is common practice to use multiple shelves when a large number of items are to be stored.

Layouts for installing multiple shelves listed above include lining them up in a row in series, lining them up in series back to back, and arranging them in multiple rows with a passageway in the middle. The installation layout is determined depending on the building.

However, no matter which of the above installation layouts is adopted, the shelves are fixed to the floor like many other building equipment such as desks. Or, the traditional way of thinking is that it is something that is fixed.

The main focus of this application is to break away from the conventional image of shelves as being "fixed" and to propose a new storage facility. Although specific embodiments of the present application will be explained in detail later, the present application is a method of forming a storage facility consisting of a plurality of shelves in accordance with the frequency of taking out items stored in each shelf, etc. It is an object.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention consists of a plurality of shelves with movable members fixed to the lower ends of column legs, and a guide rail in which a plurality of grooves are formed in the vertical and horizontal directions of the floor surface to engage with the liquid phase movable members, The installation positions of the plurality of shelves are determined depending on the frequency of taking out stored items.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows a part of the storage facility according to the present invention.

A plurality of tiles (1), which are flooring materials, are laid on the floor surface in close contact with each other, and an arbitrary number of shelves (2) are installed on the tiles (1).

The above-mentioned tile (1) is a rectangular plate-like body as shown in the sixth figure, and two grooves (3) are perforated in the vertical and horizontal directions on the surface, forming guide rails (4). There is.

As shown in the second diagram, the shelf (2) has a shelf board (8) attached to a grooved guide material (7) fixed to the inner side of the four pillar bases (6) fixed by the top plate (5). It is made by inserting several stages. Instead of the plate-shaped shelf (8), a packet-shaped shelf (8a), a net-shaped shelf (not shown), or the like may be used. A pair of handles (9a) are provided on the outer side of the column base (6).
) (9b) is fixed, and a connecting member (10) is fixed to one handle (9a). The connecting member (10
), the tongue piece (11) is urged downward and the adjacent W
It can be connected to the handle (9b) of i(2). The downward biasing force of the tongue (11) may be achieved by using the tongue (11) itself as a plate spring, or by biasing the tongue (11) with a spring member (not shown). A moving member (12) is fixed to the lower end of the column base (6).

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the moving member (12).

A support member (13) is fixed to the lower end of the column base (6), and the upper half of the ball (15) is fitted into a hemispherical recess (14) formed at the bottom of the support member (13). The above tile (
The lower half of the ball (15) is fitted into the groove (3) formed in 1). The shape of the liquid groove (3) may be semicircular in cross section as shown in FIG. 3, or triangular in cross section (3b) as shown in FIG. 4.

Further, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the moving member (12), in which a magnetized metal plate (17) is fixed to the lower end of the column base (6) via a support rod (16>). The lower surface of the groove (3C), which has a substantially C-shaped cross section, of the tile (1) is also magnetized, and the lower surfaces of the metal plate (17) and the a (3C) are magnetized to the same polarity (for example, S pole and S pole). and have become repulsive to each other.

With the above configuration, the shelf (2) can be easily moved along the groove (3) of the tile (1) by holding the handles (9a) (9b), and the connecting member (10) allows multiple shelves to be moved easily. If (2) are connected, it is possible to easily move many shelves (2) at once. Furthermore, even if all the items stored on one shelf are needed, the entire shelf can be moved without having to be transferred to a cart or the like.

FIG. 7 shows a first installation example of the plurality of shelves (2). Each column (2) is marked (a) to distinguish it from other shelves (2).
) to (S) are attached. In this layout,
Shelf (g) (r) (S) is used frequently, and shelf (C)
)(d)(k)(jri(m)(n)(p) is medium frequency,
Shelves (a) (b) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j
) is located in a position corresponding to infrequent usage.

The frequency of use of each column (2) can be determined by, for example, installing a counter button switch (18) in each column (2) as shown in the second diagram, and pressing the button switch (18) every time the liquid phase is used. The frequency of press use may also be obtained.

Considering the frequency of use by the above counter, or
Considering the ease of use for users, the above multiple shelves (2)
A second installation example in which the installation position is changed is shown in FIG. In this layout, the high frequency shelves (e) (f) (g
) has been moved to a more convenient location.

That is, in the past, stored items were moved depending on the frequency of use of the stored items, for example, frequently used items were moved to the front, and rarely used items were moved to the back. However, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the location of the entire storage facility made up of a plurality of shelves is managed for each column, and the entire storage facility is attempted to be used effectively. At this time, since the liquid phase easily moves along the grooves of the tiles, a desired layout can be easily obtained without shifting the position occupied by the liquid phase. In addition, in the above embodiment, since the guide rail is formed by laying the tiles forming the groove, it is possible to save the labor of construction to directly drill the groove in the floor surface, and Since it does not affect the floor surface in any way, it can be widely used in offices in rental buildings.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a storage facility configured with a plurality of shelves, the storage facility is organically formed according to the frequency of taking out items stored in each shelf, that is, the frequency of use of each column. This makes it possible to effectively manage shelves including stored items.
