Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a document repository and a document storage system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, document storage cabinets capable of storing documents have been known. A configuration has been proposed that includes an outer container, an insertion port formed in the outer container, and an inner container installed inside the outer container, and a guide member is provided on the outer container to guide documents inserted from the insertion port into the inner container (see Patent Documents 1 and 2 below). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-72902 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2015-63393 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the document storage cabinets disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, depending on the height of the inner container, the positions of the end of the guide member and the upper end of the inner container may become separated, causing documents inserted to not be guided sufficiently into the inner container by the guide member and to fall into the gap between the inner container and the outer container.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a document storage cabinet and a document storage system that can reliably guide documents into a container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means. In other words, the document storage cabinet of the present invention comprises a housing capable of accommodating containers therein and having an insertion port formed therein, and a guide member attached to the inside of the housing so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed, and which gradually inclines toward the center as it extends downwards in a plan view, for guiding documents inserted through the insertion port into the container.

[0007] In the document storage cabinet configured in this manner, a guide member is provided inside the housing, which is gradually inclined toward the center in a plan view as it goes downward. Documents inserted through an insertion port formed in the housing are guided by the guide member and inserted into a container contained inside the housing. The guide member is attached inside the housing so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. Therefore, by attaching the guide member at an appropriate height depending on the size, height, shape, etc. of the container, the documents inserted through the insertion port can be reliably guided into the container.

[0008] In addition, in the document storage cabinet according to the present invention, the guide member may be detachably attached to the inside of the housing.

[0009] In the document storage cabinet constructed in this manner, the guide members are removably attached to the inside of the housing, so that guide members of an appropriate length and angle of inclination can be attached according to the size, height, shape, etc., of the container, and documents can be reliably guided into the container.

[0010] In addition, in the document storage cabinet of the present invention, the housing may have a pair of side panels arranged on both the left and right sides, and the guide member may be attached to at least one of the pair of side panels.

[0011] In the document storage cabinet configured in this manner, the guide member is attached to at least one of the pair of side panels on both the left and right sides, so that the guide member guides the left and right ends of the documents into the container, preventing the documents from falling into the gap between the container and the side panels, and reliably guiding the documents into the container.

[0012] In addition, in the document storage cabinet of the present invention, the housing has a door that can be opened and closed so as to block an opening formed between the pair of side panels and opening forward, and the deposit port may be formed in the door.

[0013] In the document storage cabinet constructed in this manner, the insertion opening is formed in the door, and documents can be inserted from the front.

[0014] The document storage cabinet according to the present invention may further include a mounting member attached to the inside of the housing so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed, and on which the container can be placed.

[0015] In the document storage cabinet constructed in this way, a mounting member on which the container can be placed is attached inside the housing so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. The height at which the mounting member is attached can be changed according to the height of the container, and the container can be installed near the insertion opening, so that the documents can be reliably guided into the container.

[0016] In addition, the document storage cabinet according to the present invention may include an article mounting portion provided on the inside of the housing, and the guide member and the placement member may be attached to the article mounting portion.

[0017] In the document storage cabinet configured in this manner, the guide member and the mounting member are attached to an article attachment portion provided on the inside of the housing. Since there is no need to provide separate members for mounting the guide member and the mounting member, the number of parts can be reduced and a large space can be secured inside the housing.

[0018] In addition, in the document storage cabinet of the present invention, the item mounting portions may be formed in multiple locations spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the guide member and the placement member may each be engaged with a different one of the multiple item mounting portions.

[0019] In a document storage cabinet configured in this manner, the guide member can be engaged with one of the multiple article mounting sections formed at intervals in the vertical direction, and the mounting member can be engaged with the other article mounting section, thereby allowing the guide member and the mounting member to be attached to the housing.

[0020] Furthermore, a document storage system according to the present invention comprises the document storage cabinet described above and a container housed inside the housing.

[0021] In the document storage system configured in this manner, a guide member is provided inside the housing, which is gradually inclined toward the center in a plan view as it extends downward. Documents inserted through an insertion slot formed in the housing are guided by the guide member and inserted into a container contained inside the housing. The guide member is attached inside the housing so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. Therefore, by attaching the guide member at an appropriate height depending on the size, height, shape, etc. of the container, the documents inserted through the insertion slot can be reliably guided into the container. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the document storage cabinet and document storage system of the present invention, documents can be reliably guided into the container. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0047] (Guide material) As shown in FIG. 4, the guide member 5 has a beam portion 50 and a guide portion 56.

[0048] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the attachment of the rear portion of the guide member 5. As shown in FIG. The beam portion 50 has a rectangular cylindrical shape. The beam portion 50 extends in the front-rear direction Dfr. As shown in Fig. 6, at the location where the rear locking wall portion 27 is provided, the wall portion opposite the center side in the left-right direction Dw of the beam portion 50 is cut out, and the cross section is C-shaped and opens on the opposite side to the center side in the left-right direction Dw.

[0049] The beam portion 50 has an upper wall portion 51, a lower wall portion 52, and a connecting wall portion 53. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are plate-shaped with their plate surfaces facing the up-down direction Dv. The upper wall portion 51 is disposed above the lower wall portion 52. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are inserted into and locked to the rear locking hole 28 of the side plate 13. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are locked to the rear locking hole 28 above the mounting member 3. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are locked to the rear locking hole 28 located above the rear locking hole 28 to which the mounting member 3 is locked. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are detachable from the rear locking hole 28 of the side plate 13. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are supported by the lower edge of the rear locking hole 28. The upper wall portion 51 is inserted into a rear locking hole 28 that is two steps above the rear locking hole 28 into which the lower wall portion 52 is inserted. The position of the rear locking hole 28 into which the upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 are inserted can be set appropriately.

[0050] The connecting wall portion 53 connects the end portion on the central side in the left-right direction Dw of the upper wall portion 51 and the end portion on the central side in the left-right direction Dw of the lower wall portion 52. The upper wall portion 51 and the lower wall portion 52 may be provided with a wall portion facing upward or downward along the outer surface 27a of the rear locking wall portion 27. Between the front support portion 21 and the rear support portion 26 of the side plate 13, a beam portion 50 that is not notched is fitted.

[0051] By selecting the front locking holes 23 and the rear locking holes 28 formed at intervals in the vertical direction Dv, the installation position of the guide member 5 in the vertical direction Dv can be appropriately changed.

[0052] In the front support portion 21 shown in FIG. 3, an upper wall portion 51 and a lower wall portion 52 of a beam portion 50 protrude forward and are inserted through the front engagement hole 23 from rear to front and engaged therewith.

[0053] The guide portion 56 is inclined so as to gradually move toward the center in a plan view as it moves downward from the boundary between the upper wall portion 51 and the connecting wall portion 53 of the beam portion 50. The position at which the guide portion 56 is provided on the beam portion 50 can be set appropriately. The guide portion 56 is formed in a plate shape. The upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 is inclined so as to gradually move toward the center in the left-right direction Dw as it moves downward. The tip of the guide portion 56 is provided with a folded portion 57 that is folded back on the lower surface. The guide portion 56 is disposed in the front-rear direction Dfr from the rear side of the front support portion 21 of the side plate 13 to the rear support portion 26.

[0054] (container) As shown in FIG. 2, the container 6 has a box shape that opens upward. The container 6 has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. The container 6 is accommodated inside the housing 10. A gap S is formed between the container 6 and the side plate 13 of the housing 10. The guide member 5 is disposed above the gap S. When taking the container 6 in and out of the housing 10, the container 6 can be taken in and out by inserting a hand into the gap S and grasping an upper edge portion 6u of the container 6. For example, it is a pail box. The shape of the container 6 can be appropriately set as long as it is a size that can be accommodated inside the housing 10.

[0055] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. As shown in Fig. 7, in a plan view, the guide portion 56 of the guide member 5 is disposed so as to overlap the container 6. The tip portion 56a of the guide portion 56 of the guide member 5 is located closer to the center in the left-right direction Dw than the end portion 6a of the container 6 in the left-right direction Dw. The upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 is inclined so as to gradually approach the center in the left-right direction Dw as it extends downward. As a result, the end portion in the left-right direction Dw of the document inserted from the insertion opening 18 is guided by the upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 and inserted into the container 6.

[0056] In the document storage system 100 configured in this manner, a guide member 5 having an upper surface 56u of a guide portion 56 that gradually inclines downward toward the center in the left-right direction Dw is provided inside the housing 10. Documents inserted from an insertion port 18 formed in the door 17 of the housing 10 are guided by the upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 and inserted into a container 6 contained inside the housing 10. The guide member 5 is attached inside the housing 10 so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. Therefore, by attaching the guide member 5 at an appropriate height or with an appropriate length and inclination angle according to the size, height, shape, etc. of the container 6, the documents inserted from the insertion port 18 can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0057] Moreover, the guide member 5 is removably attached to the inside of the housing 10. Therefore, the guide member 5 can be attached with an appropriate length and an appropriate inclination angle according to the size, height, shape, etc. of the container 6, and the documents can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0058] Moreover, the guide member 5 is attached to a pair of side plates 13, 13 on both the left and right sides. Therefore, the guide member 5 guides the left and right ends of the document into the container 6, and prevents the document from falling into the gap S between the container 6 and the side plate 13, so that the document can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0059] A gap S is formed between the container 6 and the side panel 13 of the housing 10. When inserting or removing the container 6 from the housing 10, the container 6 can be inserted or removed by inserting a hand into the gap S and gripping an upper edge 6u of the container 6. Since a guide member 5 is disposed above the gap S, documents inserted from the insertion opening 18 are guided into the container 6 by the guide member 5, and are prevented from falling into the gap S.

[0060] Furthermore, if a guide member were provided on the inner surface of door 17, when opening door 17 to take container 6 in or out, the worker would hit the guide member, which would hinder the work. However, since guide member 5 is provided on side panel 13, the worker is prevented from hitting guide member 5.

[0061] Also, an insertion opening 18 is formed in the door 17. Documents can be inserted from the front.

[0062] Furthermore, a mounting member 3 on which the container 6 can be placed is attached so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed inside the housing 10. The height at which the mounting member 3 is attached can be changed according to the height of the container 6, and the container 6 can be installed near the insertion opening 18, so that documents can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0063] Furthermore, the guide member 5 and the mounting member 3 are attached to a front locking hole 23 and a rear locking hole 28 provided on the inside of the housing 10. Since there is no need to provide separate members for mounting the guide member 5 and the mounting member 3, the number of parts can be reduced and a large space can be secured inside the housing 10.

[0064] In addition, the guide member 5 and the mounting member 3 can be attached to the housing 10 by engaging the guide member 5 with a selected one of the front locking holes 23 and rear locking holes 28 formed at intervals in the vertical direction Dv, and engaging the mounting member 3 with the other front locking hole 23 and rear locking hole 28.

[0065] (Variation 1) Next, a document storage system according to a first modified example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to Fig. 8. In the following modified examples, configurations corresponding to the above-described embodiment may be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof may be omitted.

[0066] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the document storage system according to the first modified example of the embodiment of the present invention taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 8, in the document storage system 100A according to this modification, the guide portion 56A of the guide member 5A is disposed in the front-rear direction Dfr from the front support portion 21 to the rear support portion 26 of the side plate 13. The front end portion 56f of the guide portion 56A is disposed on substantially the same plane as the front end portion 11f of the housing body 11.

[0067] In the document storage system 100A configured in this manner, a guide member 5A having an upper surface 56u of a guide portion 56 that gradually inclines downward toward the center in the left-right direction Dw is provided inside the housing 10. Documents inserted from an insertion slot 18 formed in the door 17 of the housing 10 are guided by the upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 and inserted into the container 6 contained inside the housing 10. The guide member 5A is attached inside the housing 10 so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. Therefore, by attaching the guide member 5A at an appropriate height or with an appropriate length and inclination angle according to the size, height, shape, etc. of the container 6, the documents inserted from the insertion slot 18 can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0068] Further, the front end 56f of the guide portion 56A of the guide member 5A is disposed on approximately the same plane as the front end 11f of the housing body 11. Therefore, the document inserted through the insertion opening 18 can be guided into the container 6 from near the insertion opening 18.

[0069] (Variation 2) Next, a document storage system according to a second modified example of one embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to Fig. 9. In the following modified example, the configurations corresponding to the above-described embodiment may be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof may be omitted.

[0070] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the document storage system according to the second modification of the embodiment of the present invention taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 9, in the document storage system 100B according to this modification, the guide member 5B has a guide portion 56A whose front end 56f is disposed on substantially the same plane as the front end 11f of the housing body 11, and a guide portion 56B that connects the front portions of the guide portions 56A on both the left and right sides. A front end 57f of the guide portion 56B is disposed on substantially the same plane as the front end 11f of the housing body 11.

[0071] In the document storage system 100B configured in this manner, a guide member 5B having an upper surface 56u of a guide portion 56 that gradually inclines downward toward the center in the left-right direction Dw is provided inside the housing 10. Documents inserted from an insertion port 18 formed in the door 17 of the housing 10 are guided by the upper surface 56u of the guide portion 56 and inserted into the container 6 contained inside the housing 10. The guide member 5B is attached inside the housing 10 so that its position in the vertical direction can be changed. Therefore, by attaching the guide member 5B at an appropriate height or with an appropriate length and inclination angle according to the size, height, shape, etc. of the container 6, the documents inserted from the insertion port 18 can be reliably guided into the container 6.

[0072] In addition, guide portion 56B, which connects the front portions of guide portions 56A on both the left and right sides of guide member 5B, prevents documents from falling into the gap S1 between the insertion port 18 and container 6, thereby more reliably guiding the documents into container 6.

[0073] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
