Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixture with a tabletop. [Background technology]

[0002] A known type of furniture with a tabletop used in medical facilities, offices, etc. has a pair of support members protruding upward from both sides of the back side of the tabletop in the depth direction, and electronic devices such as monitors, display panels, etc. can be attached to the support members (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] A similar type of furniture with a tabletop is also known in which a pair of support members protrude upward from both sides of the tabletop at the rear in the depth direction, and a large item storage unit such as an item storage shelf or filing cabinet can be attached to the support members (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In medical facilities and the like, there is a demand to store documents such as medical charts and medical encyclopedias, as well as medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors, in an area above the top of a tabletop fixture where doctors can reach them. The documents and medical equipment are heavy, and the item storage unit is also a sturdy, heavy structure, so the support members that support them have a large cross-section and high rigidity. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-77225 A [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 5047756 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When installing an optional component above the top of a tabletop-equipped fixture, a method may be adopted in which a support member protruding above the top is provided and the optional component is supported by the support member, as in the above examples. However, when the optional component to be installed is a relatively lightweight component such as an electronic device or a notice panel, or when the optional component is an item storage unit for storing heavy items, it is necessary to use support members with different cross-sectional shapes and sizes.

[0006] For this reason, at production sites where tabletop-equipped fixtures and accessories are manufactured, different support members must be made separately, resulting in poor production efficiency. Also, when a user of a tabletop-equipped fixture wants to change the optional parts they use, the entire support member must be replaced, which is a major replacement job and increases the associated costs.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a furniture unit with a tabletop that allows the support structure of an optional part to be easily changed depending on the optional part being used, without having to replace the entire support member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the display unit with a tabletop according to the present invention employs the following configuration. The fixture with a top plate of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a fixture body having a top plate, a support member extending upward from the top plate and capable of supporting an optional member above the top plate alone or in cooperation with another member, and a reinforcing member that is detachably connected to the support member and is capable of supporting the optional member in cooperation with the support member with its lower end abutting the upper surface of the top plate.

[0009] In the fixture with a tabletop having the above configuration, when a user uses a relatively lightweight optional component, the optional component can be supported by the support member alone without using a reinforcing member. Also, when a user uses an optional component that is heavy when in use, the optional component can be supported by the support member and the reinforcing member by connecting the reinforcing member to the support member and abutting the lower end of the reinforcing member against the upper surface of the tabletop.

[0010] The reinforcing member may include a sub-support portion that extends upward along the support member and is connected to a side surface of the support member.

[0011] In this case, since the sub-support portion of the reinforcing member is joined to the side surface of the support member, the rigidity of the support member can be efficiently increased by the sub-support portion of the reinforcing member. Also, since the sub-support portion is joined to the side surface of the support member, the support portion of the optional member can be made smaller. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the rigidity of the support portion of the optional member can be increased while simplifying and miniaturizing the structure.

[0012] The fixture body may be provided with legs supporting the tabletop, and the abutment surface of the reinforcing member against the upper surface of the tabletop may be positioned directly above the legs.

[0013] In this case, the weight of the optional component placed on the reinforcing member can be efficiently received by the legs, sandwiching the top plate. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, even heavy optional components can be stably supported by the main body of the furniture.

[0014] The reinforcing member may further include a support bracket extending from an upper portion of the sub-support portion substantially parallel to the top plate, and the support bracket may be removably fixed to an upper portion of the support member.

[0015] In this case, the support bracket is stably supported across the sub-support section and the upper part of the support member with the reinforcing member connected to the support member. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, it becomes possible to stably support the optional member on the support member and the sub-support section via the support bracket extending from the upper part of the sub-support section approximately parallel to the top plate.

[0016] The support members may be provided in multiple locations spaced apart in a width direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the tabletop, and the reinforcing members may be detachably connected to at least two of the support members, and a bottom support member for supporting the bottom of the optional member may be mounted on each of the support brackets.

[0017] In this case, the bottom support member is stably supported on the fixture body by multiple pairs of the support column members and sub-support column members, so that the heavy optional member is stably supported on the fixture body via the bottom support member. In addition, in this configuration, the bottom support member is stably supported by multiple pairs of support members and sub-support members, so that the optional member can be easily fixed to the bottom support member while being placed on the upper surface of the bottom support member.

[0018] The optional member may be an item storage unit capable of storing items therein.

[0019] In this case, even if the item storage unit has a heavy total weight when in use due to the items stored inside, the item storage unit can be stably supported on the fixture body by connecting a reinforcing member to the support member and abutting the lower end of the reinforcing member against the upper surface of the tabletop. Effect of the Invention

[0020] In the furniture with a top plate according to the present invention, when a relatively lightweight optional part is used, the optional part can be supported by the support member alone without using a reinforcing member, and when a heavy optional part is used in use, the optional part can be supported by the support member and the reinforcing member by connecting the reinforcing member to the support member and abutting the lower end of the reinforcing member against the upper surface of the top plate. Therefore, when the furniture with a top plate according to the present invention is adopted, the support structure for the optional part can be easily changed according to the optional part being used without replacing the entire support member.

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the display unit 10 with a top plate has a structure that allows the support portion of the optional component to be changed depending on the optional component used. The display unit 10 with a top plate has two main usage patterns. The first usage pattern (hereinafter referred to as the "first usage pattern") is for supporting relatively light components such as electronic devices such as monitors and noticeboard panels. The other usage pattern (hereinafter referred to as the "second usage pattern") is for supporting heavy item storage units such as item storage shelves with doors or filing cabinets that are heavy when in use. 1 to 5 are diagrams showing the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 in a first usage mode, and FIGS. 6 to 11 are diagrams showing the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 in a second usage mode.

[0023] <First usage form> Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 of this embodiment as viewed from above, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 as viewed from below. Also, Fig. 3 is a front view of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10. The furniture 10 with a tabletop of this embodiment is a piece of furniture used, for example, in medical facilities. The furniture 10 with a tabletop comprises a tabletop 11 whose upper surface serves as a work surface, a first leg 12, a second leg 13, and a third leg 14 that support the tabletop 11 from below, and a frame 30 that protrudes upward from the tabletop 11. The tabletop 11 is supported on the floor by the first and second legs 12 and 13 and the third leg 14. Users such as doctors, patients, and attendants can sit on the tabletop 11 on the near side in the depth direction. In the following, the near side in the depth direction of the tabletop 11 will be referred to as the "front", the far side as the "rear", and the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and the front-to-rear direction will be referred to as the "width direction". In the appropriate places in each figure, an arrow FR pointing forward, an arrow UP pointing upward, and an arrow LH pointing leftward as you face the front of the tabletop 11 are indicated.

[0024] The top plate 11 includes a rear edge portion 11r extending linearly in the width direction at the rear side in the depth direction, a first side edge portion 11sf extending linearly forward from one side of the rear edge portion 11r, and a second side edge portion 11ss extending linearly forward from the other side of the rear edge portion 11r. The extension width in the front-rear direction of the second side edge portion 11ss is shorter than the extension width in the front-rear direction of the first side edge portion 11sf. The top plate 11 also includes a front edge portion 11f extending from the front end portion of the first side edge portion 11sf toward the other side (left side), and a connecting edge portion 11c extending to connect the front end portion of the second side edge portion 11ss and the other side (left side) of the front edge portion 11f. The connecting edge portion 11c is formed in a curved shape that bulges forward in an arc shape. Further, the front edge portion 11f is inclined forward from the front end portion of the first side edge portion 11sf toward the connecting portion with the connecting edge portion 11c.

[0025] The first leg 12 includes a leg plate 15 having a vertically long rectangular shape in a side view, and a ground leg 16 extending forward from the front lower end of the leg plate 15. The upper end surface of the leg plate 15 is fixed to the underside of the portion of the top plate 11 close to the first side edge 11sf. The leg plate 15 extends in the front-rear direction along the first side edge 11sf. The ground leg 16 extends in the front-rear direction along the first side edge 11sf together with the lower end of the leg plate 15. The lower ends of the leg plate 15 and the ground leg 16 of the first leg 12 are in contact with the floor surface. In addition, a support beam 19 extending horizontally forward from the leg plate 15 is connected to the front upper end of the leg plate 15. The support beam 19 is fixed to the underside of the portion of the top plate 11 close to the first side edge 11sf together with the leg plate 15.

[0026] The second leg 13 is provided with a leg plate 20 that is vertically long and rectangular in side view. The front-to-rear width of the leg plate 20 is set narrower than the front-to-rear width of the first leg 12. The upper end surface of the leg plate 20 is fixed to the underside of a portion of the tabletop 11 that is close to the second side edge 11ss. The leg plate 20 extends in the front-to-rear direction along the second side edge 11ss. The lower end of the leg plate 20 of the second leg 13 is placed on the floor surface.

[0027] The leg plate 15 of the first leg 12 and the leg plate 20 of the second leg 13 are connected to each other at their rear edges by a rectangular reinforcing frame 23. The reinforcing frame 23 has left and right vertical frame parts 23s extending in the up-down direction, and an upper frame part 23u and a lower frame part 23l extending in the left-right direction to connect the left and right vertical frame parts 23s. One vertical frame part 23s has its outer surface abutted against the inner surface of the leg plate 15 of the first leg 12 and is fixed to the leg plate 15 in this state. The other vertical frame part 23s has its outer surface abutted against the inner surface of the leg plate 20 of the second leg 13 and is fixed to the leg plate 20 in this state. The reinforcing frame 23 reinforces the first leg 12 and the second leg 13, and supports the wiring guide member 24 at its upper edge. The wiring guide member 24 guides a power supply cable for supplying power to a monitor 25 (see FIG. 1) and lighting used on the tabletop 11, a communication cable, and the like.

[0028] The third leg 14 has a cylindrical pillar 26 extending vertically upward from its lower end. The upper end of the pillar 26 is fixed to the underside of the tabletop 11 via a connecting metal fitting 27. The third leg 14 is fixed to the underside of the tabletop 11 at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the arc-shaped connecting edge 11c toward the inside of the tabletop 11. This distance from the connecting edge 11c is determined in consideration of the overhang dimension of the footrest of the wheelchair. Therefore, even when a patient using a wheelchair faces the arc-shaped connecting edge of the tabletop 11, the footrest of the wheelchair can be prevented from interfering with the third leg 14.

[0029] In this embodiment, the fixture main body 18 is made up of the above-mentioned tabletop 11, first leg 12, second leg 13, third leg 14, reinforcing frame 23, etc. The fixture main body 18 is provided with a connecting edge 11c that bulges forward in an arc shape on the front side of the other side of the tabletop 11, so that while a doctor is seated facing the front edge 11f of the tabletop 11, a patient or attendant can be seated facing the arc-shaped connecting edge 11c.

[0030] The frame 30 includes a pair of support members 31 extending upward from both the left and right sides of the rear of the tabletop 11, and a first beam member 32A and a second beam member 32B mounted on the pair of support members 31. The lower ends of each of the left and right support members 31 extend below the tabletop 11. The lower regions of each support member 31 extending below the tabletop 11 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the leg plates 15, 20 of the first leg 12 and the second leg 13 via mounting brackets 33, as shown in FIG. 2. Each support member 31 protrudes above the tabletop 11 through a substantially U-shaped through hole 34 (see FIG. 4) surrounded by the rear surface of the tabletop 11, the inner surfaces of the leg plates 15, and the front surface of the vertical frame portion 23s.

[0031] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the frame 30 supported by the top board 11, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing the upper part of the support member 31. As shown in FIG. The support member 31 is formed of a rectangular metal frame having locking grooves 35 formed along the longitudinal direction on the four peripheral surfaces. As shown in Fig. 5, the locking groove 35 has flanges 35b extending inward from the opening edges on both sides of a substantially U-shaped groove body 35a to prevent the locking groove 35 from coming off.

[0032] When attaching the first and second beam members 32A and 32B to the support member 31, a long plate-shaped mounting washer 36 is inserted into the locking groove 35 on the inner surface of the support member 31, and the mounting washer 36 is temporarily fixed to the support member 31 at a predetermined height. This temporary fixing can be performed, for example, by turning a set screw 37 screwed into the mounting washer 36 and pressing the tip of the set screw 37 against the bottom surface of the groove main body portion 35a. In this way, the ends of the first and second beam members 32A and 32B are fastened and fixed to the mounting washer 36 temporarily fixed to the locking groove 35 by a screw 38. When the screw 38 engaged with the ends of the first and second beam members 32A and 32B is fastened to the mounting washer 36, the flange portion 35b of the locking groove 35 is clamped and fixed by each end of the first and second beam members 32A and 32B and the mounting washer 36. Each end of the first and second beam members 32A, 32B is thereby permanently fixed to the support member 31. The installation height of the first and second beam members 32A, 32B can be freely changed by changing the height of the mounting washer 36 within the locking groove 35.

[0033] Although the above description has been given taking an example where each end of the first and second beam members 32A, 32B is fixed to the support member 31, optional members such as notice panels can also be fixed to the support members 31 on both sides in a similar manner. Also, other members can be fixed to the other side of the support member 31 in a similar manner using locking grooves 35 and mounting washers 36. The reinforcing member 40, which will be described later, is detachably connected to the front surface of the support member 31 by this method.

[0034] The first beam member 32A and the second beam member 32B fixed to the support members 31 on both sides as described above can be fitted with electronic devices such as the monitor 25 and a medical viewing box, which are relatively lightweight optional members.

[0035] <Second usage form> Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 in the second usage form seen from above, and Fig. 7 is a side view of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 in the second usage form. Reference numeral 50 in Figs. 6 and 7 denotes an item storage shelf (item storage body) with doors, which is an optional component that is heavy when in use. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the support part of the optional component with some parts (support bracket 42 described below) removed, and Fig. 9 is a plan view of the same support part. In the second usage form, the reinforcing member 40 is detachably connected to the support member 31. The reinforcing member 40 has a quadrangular prism-shaped sub-support portion 41 having a larger horizontal cross section than the support member 31. The sub-support portion 41 extends upward along the support member 31. The sub-support portion 41 is connected in close contact with the front surface of the support member 31 with its lower end abutting against the upper surface of the tabletop 11. In this embodiment, as described above, the sub-support portion 41 is connected to the support member 31 by using the locking groove 35 and the mounting washer 36 on the front surface of the support member 31. The lower end surface of the sub-support portion 41 is formed as a contact surface 41a that contacts the upper surface of the top plate 11.

[0036] The sub-support portion 41 is formed into a hollow shape by connecting a plurality of metal plates bent into a predetermined shape. The hollow portion inside the support portion 41 extends upward from the lower end. This hollow portion can be used as a guide hole for guiding a power supply cable or a communication cable connected to the monitor 25 or other electronic devices. When the hollow portion inside the sub-support portion 41 is used as a guide hole for a power supply cable or a communication cable in this way, wiring can be performed to the electronic devices such as the monitor 25 attached to the first beam member 32A or the second beam member 32B without being noticeable from the outside. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the appearance quality (design) of the furniture unit including the furniture with a top plate 10 can be improved.

[0037] The contact surface 41a at the lower end of the sub-support portion 41 is disposed directly above the leg plates 15, 20 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. Therefore, the contact surface 41a of the sub-support portion 41 faces the leg plates 15, 20 in the vertical direction across the tabletop 11. Note that it is preferable that the portion of the side edge of the tabletop 11 that the sub-support portion 41 contacts has a solid structure or a structure whose inside is reinforced with a reinforcing member.

[0038] The reinforcing member 40 also includes a support bracket 42. The support bracket 42 is fixed integrally to the upper part of the sub-support portion 41. An item storage shelf 50, which is an optional member, is supported by the left and right support members 31 and the sub-support portion 41 via the support bracket 42.

[0039] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which the support bracket 42 is fixed to the upper part of the sub-support part 41. As shown in FIG. 8 to 10, a slit 43 is formed in the upper part of the sub-support part 41 so as to reach a predetermined depth from the upper end surface. The slit 43 extends in the front-rear direction and penetrates the front and rear walls of the support bracket 42. The slit 42 is formed so that its inner wall surface in the width direction is substantially flush with the outer surface of the support member 31.

[0040] The support bracket 42 has an upper wall 42u whose upper surface extends substantially horizontally in the front-rear direction, and a side wall 42s which bends at a substantially right angle and extends downward from the outer end of the upper wall 42u in the width direction. As shown in Fig. 10, the side wall 42s of the support bracket 42 is fitted into the slit 43 of the sub-support part 41, and in this state, the support bracket 42 is fixed to the sub-support part 41 by welding. This welding is performed, for example, between the edge of the slit 43 of the sub-support part 41 and the outer surface of the side wall 42s of the support bracket 42.

[0041] When the support bracket 42 is fixed integrally to the upper part of the sub-support portion 41 in this manner, it extends a predetermined length both in front of and behind the sub-support portion 41. The extension length on the rear side of the support bracket 42 is approximately the same as the front-to-rear width of the support member 31. The extension length on the front side of the support bracket 42 is a length such that when the item storage shelf 50 is placed above the support bracket 42, the front end portion comes close to the front edge of the item storage shelf 50.

[0042] In addition, the rear extension of the side wall 42s of the support bracket 42 is placed on the outer surface of the support member 31 and is detachably connected to the support member 31. This connection can be performed, for example, by using the locking groove 35 and the mounting washer 36 on the outer surface of the support member 31 in the same manner as described above.

[0043] 6 and 7 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with approximately the same width as the top plate 11, and has a sliding door 51 attached to the front side. Items can be stored inside the item storage shelf 50 by opening the door 51.

[0044] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the state where the item storage shelf 50 is removed from the furniture 10 with a top panel. 11, a plate-shaped bottom support member 52 is mounted on the support bracket 42 fixed to the left and right support members 31 and the sub-support portion 41. The bottom support member 52 is formed in a rectangular shape with approximately the same size as the bottom of the item storage shelf 50. The left and right side edges of the bottom support member 52 are screwed to the corresponding left and right support brackets 42 and to the upper surfaces of the support members 31 and the sub-support portion 41. In addition, a reinforcing panel 53, which also serves as a fastening portion for the item storage shelf 50, is fixed by welding to the upper part of the left and right side edges of the bottom support member 52. The item storage shelf 50 is placed on the upper surface of a bottom support member 52 and, in this state, is fastened to left and right reinforcing panels 53 on the bottom support member 52 with bolts.

[0045] As described above, the furniture with a top plate 10 of this embodiment includes the support member 31 that extends upward from the top plate 11 and can support an optional member alone or in cooperation with another member above the top plate 11, and the reinforcing member 40 that is detachably connected to the support member 31 and can support the optional member in cooperation with the support member 31 with its lower end abutting the upper surface of the top plate 11. Therefore, when a relatively light optional member such as a monitor 25 or a notice panel is used (when used in the first usage mode), the support member 31 alone can support the optional member without using the reinforcing member 31. On the other hand, when an optional member with a heavy weight when used such as an item storage shelf 50 or a bookshelf is used (when used in the second usage mode), the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the support member 31, and the lower end of the reinforcing member 40 is abutted against the upper surface of the top plate 11, so that the optional member can be supported by the support member 31 and the reinforcing member 40. When changing from the second usage configuration to the first usage configuration, the reinforcing member 40 connected to the support member 31 can be removed from the support member 31.

[0046] Therefore, when the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 of this embodiment is employed, the support structure of the optional components can be easily changed according to the optional components used, without replacing the entire support member 31. Therefore, when the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 of this embodiment is employed, the production efficiency of the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 and its accessories can be increased, and when the user changes the optional components used, the large-scale replacement work of the support members is not required, and the associated costs for replacement can be reduced.

[0047] Furthermore, in the furniture 10 with a tabletop of this embodiment, the reinforcing member 40 includes a sub-support portion 41 that extends upward along the support member 31 and is joined to the front side surface of the support member 31. Therefore, by joining the sub-support portion 41 of the reinforcing member 40 to the side surface of the support member 31, the rigidity of the support member 31 can be efficiently increased by the sub-support portion 41. Also, by joining the sub-support portion 41 in close contact with the side surface of the support member 31, the support portion of the optional member can be made smaller. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the rigidity of the support portion of the optional member can be increased while simplifying and miniaturizing the structure.

[0048] Furthermore, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 of this embodiment, the abutment surface 41a (lower end) of the reinforcing member 40 that abuts against the upper surface of the tabletop 11 is disposed directly above the first leg 12 and the second leg 13. Therefore, the load of the item storage shelf 50 (optional member) applied to the reinforcing member 40 can be efficiently supported by the first leg 12 and the second leg 13, sandwiching the tabletop 11 between them. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, even a heavy optional member can be stably supported by the fixture body 18.

[0049] Furthermore, in the furniture 10 with a top plate of this embodiment, a support bracket 42 extending from the upper part of the sub-support portion 41 substantially parallel to the top plate 11 is provided on the reinforcing member 40, and the support bracket 40 is detachably connected to the upper part of the support member 31. Therefore, by connecting the rear extension part of the support bracket 40 to the upper part of the support member 31, the support bracket 42 can be stably supported across the upper part of the sub-support portion 41 and the support member 31. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the item storage shelf 50 (optional member) can be stably supported by the support member 31 and the sub-support portion 41 via the support bracket 42 extending from the upper part of the sub-support portion 41 substantially parallel to the top plate 11.

[0050] In addition, in the tabletop-equipped fixture 10 of this embodiment, the reinforcing members 40 are detachably connected to the left and right support members 31 arranged at a distance in the width direction of the tabletop 11, and a bottom support member 52 that supports the bottom of an item storage shelf 50 (optional member) is installed on the support bracket 42 of each reinforcing member 40. Therefore, the bottom support member 52 is stably supported on the fixture body 18 by the pair of support members 31 and sub-support members 41 on both sides in the width direction. Therefore, this configuration makes it possible to stably support an item storage shelf 50 (optional member) such as an item storage shelf 50, which has a heavy weight when in use, on the fixture body 18 via the bottom support member 52. In addition, in this configuration, the bottom support member 52 is stably supported by a pair of support members 31 and sub-support members 41 on both sides in the width direction, so that the item storage shelf 50 (optional member) which is heavy when in use can be easily fixed to the bottom support member 52 when placed on the upper surface of the bottom support member 52. In this embodiment, two support members 31 are provided extending above the tabletop 11, but it is also possible to provide three or more support members 31 on the tabletop 11. In this case, the reinforcing member 40 having the support bracket 42 is connected to at least two support members 31.

[0051] The fixture 10 with a top plate of this embodiment can support an item storage shelf 50 (item storage body) capable of storing items therein. Even in the case of an item storage shelf 50 (item storage body) whose total weight becomes heavy when in use due to the items stored therein, the fixture 10 with a top plate of this embodiment can stably support the item storage shelf 50 (item storage body) on the fixture body 18 by connecting the reinforcing member 40 to the support member 31 and abutting the lower end of the reinforcing member 40 against the upper surface of the top plate 11.

[0052] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing member 40 is connected to the front surface of the support member 31, but the part to which the reinforcing member 40 is connected is not limited to the front surface of the support member 31. The reinforcing member 40 may be connected to the rear surface or a side surface in the width direction of the support member 31. Furthermore, the shapes of the support member 31 and the reinforcing member 40 are not limited to the above shapes. Various shapes can be adopted as long as they are shapes that can support optional members.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the sub-support portion 41 of the reinforcing member 40 is joined in close contact with the outer surface of the support member 31 over the entire area in the vertical direction, but the reinforcing member 40 may have, for example, a sub-support portion arranged apart from the support member 31 and a connecting portion that connects the sub-support portion and the support member. The connecting portion may be a rod-shaped member extending substantially horizontally. Also, a plurality of rod-shaped connecting portions may be provided on the top and bottom.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an item storage shelf 50 with a door is used as the item storage body, but the item storage body is not limited to an item storage shelf 50 with a door, and may be, for example, an item storage shelf without a door or one with a basket-like structure, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
