This forms a wiring space between the partition plate and the back panel. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-187947 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, the storage furniture described in Patent Document 1 may be difficult to insert wires into the wiring space when items are stored in it. In addition, the opening through which the wires can be inserted is located above the bottom plate, so the wires are inserted into the wiring path while floating above the floor. Therefore, for example, if two fixtures are installed with a gap between them and the same wires are passed through the wiring paths of the two fixtures, some of the wires that are suspended over the wiring paths of the two fixtures may float above the floor, and users of the fixtures or people passing by may trip over the wires.
[0006] In consideration of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a fixture that improves the ease of wiring to a wiring storage section provided at the rear of an item storage section. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. The fixture of a first aspect of the present invention comprises an item storage section capable of storing items, and a wiring storage section having a wiring side panel that forms one side and is detachably attached, the wiring storage section being provided at the rear side of the item storage section and capable of storing wiring, and a wiring insertion section is formed that allows the wiring to be inserted into the wiring storage section from outside the one side of the wiring storage section.
[0008] According to the first aspect of the fixture, a wiring housing portion capable of housing wiring is provided, and a wiring insertion portion is formed so that the wiring can be inserted into the wiring housing portion from one of the outsides. Furthermore, the wiring housing portion forms one side of the wiring housing portion and has a detachable wiring side panel, so that the user can remove the wiring side panel to perform wiring work, and wiring work can be easily performed.
[0009] A second aspect of the present invention relates to a fixture according to the first aspect, wherein the wiring insertion portion is a notch that is provided at the lower end of the wiring side panel and opens downward.
[0010] According to the fixture of the second aspect, since the wiring insertion portion is a notch that opens downward, the wiring that passes through the wiring insertion portion can be routed along the floor surface, reducing the risk of users or pedestrians tripping over the wiring. Furthermore, it is possible to pass a molding that contains the wiring through to the wiring housing portion, in which case the risk of users or pedestrians tripping over the wiring can be further reduced.
[0011] A third aspect of the present invention relates to a fixture according to the first aspect, wherein the wiring insertion portion is a gap between the wiring side panel and the floor surface.
[0012] According to the fixture of the third aspect, since the wiring insertion portion is a gap between the wiring side panel and the floor surface, the wiring that passes through the wiring insertion portion can be routed along the floor surface, reducing the risk of users or passersby tripping over the wiring. Furthermore, it is possible to pass a molding that contains the wiring into the wiring housing portion, in which case the risk of users or passersby tripping over the wiring can be further reduced. Since the wiring insertion portion only needs to be a gap between the wiring side panel and the floor surface, the wiring insertion portion can be easily formed.
[0013] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a fixture of the first aspect, further comprising a side panel that forms the other side of the wiring storage section, the side panel having a notch that is provided at the lower end of the side panel and opens downwardly.
[0014] According to the fixture of the fourth aspect, the wiring can be inserted through both side surfaces of the wiring housing portion by the wiring insertion portion formed on one side of the wiring housing portion and the notch formed on the other side of the wiring housing portion. Therefore, when multiple fixtures are arranged, the wiring can be inserted continuously through the multiple fixtures.
[0015] A fifth aspect of the present invention is a fixture of any one of the first to fourth aspects, which is provided with a top plate covering the upper part of the wiring storage section, and the top plate is provided with a wiring hole through which the wiring can be inserted from the wiring storage section to above the top plate.
[0016] According to the fixture of the fifth aspect, wiring can be inserted from the wiring housing portion to above the top plate via the wiring hole provided in the top plate.
[0017] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a fixture of the fifth aspect, further comprising a hollow support portion extending upward from the top plate, and the wiring hole connects the wiring storage portion with the internal space of the support portion.
[0018] According to the sixth aspect of the fixture, the wiring can be inserted from the wiring housing into the internal space of the support pole, so the wiring does not appear on the outside (front) of the support pole, and the wiring does not get in the way when working on the tabletop. In addition, the aesthetic appearance of the fixture can be improved.
[0019] A seventh aspect of the present invention is a fixture according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, further comprising a top plate that covers the item storage section and the wiring storage section from above.
[0020] According to the seventh aspect of the fixture, the strength of the fixture can be improved because the top plate that forms the upper surface of the article storage section and the wiring storage section is integral. Also, since there are no joints in the top plate, the aesthetic appearance of the fixture can be improved. Effect of the Invention

[0032] The article side panel 12 is a plate-like member that forms a side surface on the left side LT of the fixture main body 10. The article side panel 12 forms a part of the side surface of the rear side RR on the left side LT of the fixture main body 10, as shown in FIG.
[0033] The wiring housing section 200 is provided at the front FR of the fixture main body 10, and forms a space capable of storing wiring. The wiring housing section 200 is provided at the front (rear side) FR of the item storage section 100. The wiring housing section 200 also has a wiring side panel 11 that forms one side surface (left side LT) of the wiring housing section 200, and a side fixing section 17 for fixing the wiring side panel 11.
[0034] The wiring side panel 11 is a plate-like member that forms the side surface on the left LT of the fixture main body 10. As shown in Fig. 1, the wiring side panel 11 forms part of the side surface of the front (rear side) FR on the left LT of the fixture main body 10. The side surface on the left LT of the fixture main body 10 is formed by the wiring side panel 11 and the article side panel 12, and the member that forms the side surface on the left LT of the fixture main body 10 is not a single plate member but is divided into the wiring side panel 11 and the article side panel 12.
[0035] As shown in Fig. 3, the side fixing portion 17 is provided to bridge the article side panel 12 and the back panel 16. The wiring housing portion 200 also has a pair of side fixing portions 17 provided spaced apart in the up-down direction V. The side fixing portions 17 are formed of, for example, metal. Fixing holes 17h penetrating in the width direction W are provided at the front FR and rear RR ends of the side fixing portions 17.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the wiring side panel 11 has a side panel main body 111 and fixing members 112. The side panel body 111 is a main body portion of the wiring side panel 11, and is a plate-like member that forms the side surface of the wiring housing portion 200 on the left side LT.
[0037] The fixing member 112 is a U-shaped member when viewed from above in the vertical direction V, and has fixing protrusions 112a protruding to the right RT at both ends of the U. Here, the U-shape is not limited to a shape that strictly forms a U. The wiring side panel 11 has a pair of fixing members 112 spaced apart in the vertical direction V, as shown in FIG.
[0038] Here, the wiring side panel 11 is provided in the wiring housing portion 200 so as to be detachable. The wiring side panel 11 is attached to the wiring housing section 200 by inserting the fixing protrusions 112a into the fixing holes 17h of the side fixing portion 17. Therefore, the fixing protrusions 112a are arranged at positions corresponding to the fixing holes 17h on the wiring side panel 11. The wiring side panel 11 is attached to the wiring housing section 200 by inserting the four fixing protrusions 112a into the four fixing holes 17h corresponding to each of the fixing protrusions 112a.
[0039] The fixing protrusion 112a extends in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle from the right RT to the downward LO. Therefore, when attaching the wiring side panel 11 to the wiring housing section 200, the user inserts the fixing protrusion 112a obliquely from the left LT and the upward UP into the fixing hole 17h, and attaches the wiring side panel 11 to the wiring housing section 200.
[0040] The wiring side panel 11 may have any shape that allows it to be attached to the wiring housing 200, and may, for example, have a side panel body 111 and a fixing protrusion 112a formed integrally. The structure for detachably fixing the wiring side panel 11 to the wiring housing 200 is not limited to the fixing structure using the fixing protrusion 112a and the fixing hole 17h. For example, the wiring side panel 11 may be detachably provided to the wiring housing 200 by a snap-fit structure or the like that utilizes the elasticity of the material.
[0041] The fixture main body 10 is a box body formed by a wiring side panel 11 of the wiring storage section 200, an item side panel 12 of the item storage section 100, a side panel 13, a top panel 14, a bottom panel 15, and a back panel 16, and has an opening at the rear RR.
[0042] 5, the partition plate 18 is a plate-shaped member that separates the item storage section 100 and the wiring storage section 200 in the front-rear direction D. In the fixture main body 10, the item storage section 100 is provided at the rear RR of the partition plate 18, and the wiring storage section 200 is provided at the front FR of the partition plate 18. Therefore, the item storage section 100 and the wiring storage section 200 do not communicate with each other.
[0043] 1 and 2, the support column 20 is provided above the top plate 14 and extends above UP from the top plate 14. As shown in FIG. 5, the support column 20 is a hollow member having an internal space 20s.
[0044] 1, the shelf portion 30 is provided at the front FR of the fixture body 10 and is a plate-like member extending horizontally (vertical direction V and width direction W). The shelf portion 30 is connected to the left side surface LT of the side panel 13 and the front surface FR of the back panel 16.
[0045] The storage section 40 is, for example, a box having an opening on the upper side UP, and is a drawer capable of storing articles. As shown in Fig. 5, a plurality of storage sections 40 are provided in the article storage section 100. Rail members (not shown) are provided on the right side RT of the article side panel 12 and the left side LT of the side panel 13 to support the storage section 40 movably in the front-rear direction D.
[0046] In this embodiment, the fixture 1 has six storage sections 40. That is, a user can pull out each of the six storage sections 40 from the article storage section 100 toward the rear RR, and store or remove items in the storage sections 40. After storing or removing the items, the user can move the storage section 40 toward the front FR, and store it in the article storage section 100.
[0047] 2, the support portion 50 is a member that extends from the lower end of the side panel 13 to the right RT, and is a support member that prevents the fixture 1 from tipping over to the right RT. If there is no risk of the fixture 1 tipping over even without the support portion 50, the fixture 1 does not need to be provided with the support portion 50.
[0048] 5, the bottom plate 15 is provided behind the partition plate 18 at a rear RR. The bottom plate 15 covers the lower portion LO of the article storage portion 100, but is not provided on the lower portion LO of the wire storage portion 200.
[0049] 5, the top plate 14 covers the upper side UP of the article storage section 100 and the wiring storage section 200. That is, on the upper surface of the fixture main body 10, the top plate 14 is not divided, but is formed of a single member that is integrated in the front-to-rear direction D. Since the top plate 14 is not divided, the fixture main body 10 has sufficient strength. Also, since there are no seams in the top plate 14, the aesthetic appearance of the fixture 1 can be improved.
[0050] A wiring insertion portion 11h is formed on the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200, through which a wiring can be inserted from the outside of the left side LT (one side) of the wiring accommodating portion 200 into the wiring accommodating portion 200. The outside of the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 refers to a space to the left LT of the wiring side plate 11 that forms the side surface of the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200.
[0051] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the wiring insertion portion 11h is a notch that is provided at the lower end of the wiring side plate 11 and opens downward LO.
[0052] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 6, the wiring housing section 200 is provided in the width direction W from the wiring side panel 11 to the side panel 13. In the wiring housing section 200, the left side LT (one side) is formed by the wiring side panel 11, and the right side RT (the other side) is formed by the side panel 13. The dimension of the wiring housing section 200 in the width direction W is approximately the same as the dimension of the fixture main body 10 in the width direction W.
[0053] 6, at the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200, the wiring W1 can be inserted from the outside of the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 to the wiring accommodating portion 200 via a wiring insertion portion 11h provided at the lower end of the wiring side panel 11. Note that the wiring W1 may be inserted from the wiring accommodating portion 200 to the outside of the left side LT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 via the wiring insertion portion 11h.
[0054] 2 and 6, side panel 13 has cutout portion 13h that is a cutout that is opened downward and is provided at the lower end of side panel 13. Cutout portion 13h is provided at a position overlapping with wiring housing portion 200 in a plan view from width direction W.
[0055] Therefore, at the right side RT of the wiring accommodating portion 200, the wiring W2 can be inserted from the wiring accommodating portion 200 to the outside of the right side RT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 via the notch portion 13h provided at the lower end of the side plate 13. The outside of the right side RT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 refers to a space on the right side RT of the side plate 13 that forms the side surface of the right side RT of the wiring accommodating portion 200. Note that the wiring W2 may be inserted from the outside of the right side RT of the wiring accommodating portion 200 to the wiring accommodating portion 200 via the notch portion 13h.
[0056] 5 and 6, the top plate 14 has a wiring hole 14h that communicates the wiring housing 200 with the internal space 20s of the support 20. Therefore, at the upper UP of the wiring housing 200, the wiring W3 can be inserted from the wiring housing 200 to the internal space 20s of the support 20 via the wiring hole 14h provided in the top plate 14. Note that the wiring W3 may be inserted from the internal space 20s of the support 20 to the wiring housing 200 via the wiring hole 14h.
[0057] In the fixture 1, the left side LT of the wiring housing 200 is covered by the wiring side panel 11, the right side RT is covered by the side panel 13, and the upper side UP is covered by the top panel 14. In addition, wiring can be inserted into the wiring housing 200 via the wiring insertion portion 11h, the cutout portion 13h, and the wiring hole 14h.
[0058] Next, an example of a method of using the wiring housing portion 200 of the fixture 1 will be described. The user first removes the wiring side panel 11 from the side fixing portion 17. Next, the user accommodates the power tap T in the wiring housing portion 200 from the opening on the left side LT of the wiring housing portion 200 from which the wiring side panel 11 has been removed. Here, the power tap T is, for example, a wiring plug connector (outlet) connected to the tip of the wiring W1. The base end of the wiring W1 is connected to, for example, an outlet provided outside the fixture 1.
[0059] Next, the user connects the wire W2 to the power tap T. Here, the wire W2 is, for example, a power line of an electronic device provided outside the right side RT of the wire housing 200. The wire W2 extends from the outside of the right side RT of the wire housing 200 to the wire housing 200 via the cutout portion 13h of the side panel 13.
[0060] The user also connects the wiring W3 to the power tap T. Here, the wiring W3 is, for example, a power line of an electronic device provided on the support portion 20. The wiring W3 passes through the internal space 20s of the support portion 20, passes through the wiring hole 14h of the top plate 14, and extends from the internal space 20s of the support portion 20 to the wiring housing portion 200.
[0061] After completing the connection of the wires W1, W2, W3 and the power tap T in the wire housing 200, the user attaches the wiring side panel 11 to the side fixing portion 17 and closes the opening on the left side LT of the wire housing 200. At this time, the wire W1 is inserted through the wire insertion portion 11h.
[0062] In this way, the wiring W1 inserted into the wiring accommodating section 200 via the wiring insertion section 11h is branched inside the wiring accommodating section 200, and the branched wiring W2, W3 are respectively inserted into the cutout section 13h and the wiring hole 14h, thereby allowing the wiring to be accommodated in the wiring accommodating section 200 and improving the aesthetic appearance of the fixture 1.
[0063] In addition, the wiring side panel 11 which forms the side surface on the left LT of the wiring accommodating section 200 is detachable from the wiring accommodating section 200. Therefore, when accommodating wiring in the wiring accommodating section 200, the user can easily insert his / her hand into the wiring accommodating section 200 to perform wiring work.
[0064] In addition, since the wiring insertion portion 11h and the cutout portion 13h are cutouts that open downward LO, the wiring W1, W2 that passes through the wiring insertion portion 11h and the cutout portion 13h are installed in a state where they crawl on the floor surface F. This can prevent users of the fixture 1 or passersby from tripping over the wiring W1, W2. The wiring W1, W2 may be inserted through the wiring insertion portion 11h and the cutout portion 13h in a state where they are covered with a molding (wiring cover).
[0065] An electronic device such as a signal distributor or an AC adapter may be accommodated in the wiring accommodating section 200. Wiring connected to the electronic device accommodated in the wiring accommodating section 200 can be drawn out of the wiring accommodating section 200 via the wiring insertion section 11h, the cutout section 13h, and the wiring hole 14h.
[0066] The fixture 1 may be used, for example, as a fixture constituting a blood collection booth. In this case, a user stores equipment and consumables used for blood collection in the item storage unit 100. Specifically, items such as equipment and consumables are stored inside a storage unit 40 provided in the item storage unit 100. Therefore, a user (a person collecting blood) mainly uses the fixture 1 while standing at the rear RR of the fixture 1. The user may place a chair (not shown) at the rear RR of the fixture 1 and use the fixture 1 while sitting on the chair.
[0067] The person to whom blood is to be collected sits on a chair (not shown) installed at the front FR of the fixture main body 10 and on the left LT or right RT of the side panel 13. The person to whom blood is to be collected places their arm on a desk (table) installed behind the person RR while blood is collected. When the person to whom blood is to be collected sits on the left LT of the side panel 13, the person to whom blood is to be collected may place their baggage on the shelf 30, for example.
[0068] A display device (not shown), such as a display with a screen facing the front FR, may be provided on the support 20. For example, a guide screen showing the call number of the next blood recipient to have blood collected is displayed on the display device with a screen facing the front FR, and the blood recipient can check this guide screen and know that it is his / her turn.
[0069] A display device (not shown), such as a display with a screen facing the rear RR, may be provided on the support 20. For example, information about a blood recipient is displayed on the display device with a screen facing the rear RR, and the blood collector (user) collects blood while checking this information.
[0070] Wiring such as a power line or a communication line of the display device provided on the support column 20 passes through the internal space 20s of the support column 20 and passes through the wiring housing 200 via the wiring hole 14h of the top plate 14. This makes it possible to make the wiring less visible to the person collecting blood and the person receiving blood, improving the aesthetic appearance of the fixture 1. At this time, the wiring passed through the wiring hole 14h and into the wiring housing 200 is the wiring W3 shown in FIG. 6, and in the wiring housing 200, it is connected via a power tap T to the wiring W1 passed through the wiring insertion portion 11h and into the wiring housing 200.
[0071] Furthermore, when blood samples are to be taken from multiple people at the same time, multiple fixtures 1 may be lined up in the width direction W. In this case, in the fixture 1 arranged on the left side LT among the multiple fixtures 1 lined up in the width direction W, the wiring W2 is connected to the power tap T housed in the wiring housing 200, and the wiring W2 is inserted through the cutout portion 13h of the side panel 13 to the outside of the right side RT of the wiring housing 200.
[0072] Furthermore, in the fixture 1 arranged on the right side RT among the multiple fixtures 1 arranged in the width direction W, the wiring W2 extending from the cutout portion 13h of the fixture 1 arranged on the left side LT is inserted into the wiring housing portion 200 via the wiring insertion portion 11h. In other words, the wiring W2 extending from the fixture 1 arranged on the left side LT corresponds to the wiring W1 in the fixture 1 arranged on the right side RT.
[0073] In this way, when multiple fixtures 1 are used lined up in the width direction W, wiring can be connected between two fixtures 1 using the wiring insertion portion 11h and the cutout portion 13h, which allow the wiring to be inserted into the wiring housing portion 200. In this case, the wiring connecting the two fixtures 1 is installed in a state where it crawls along the floor surface F, so there is no risk of users or passersby tripping over it.
[0074] The fixture 1 of this embodiment includes an article storage section 100 capable of storing articles, and a wiring storage section 200 capable of storing wiring, which has a wiring side panel 11 detachably provided forming one side surface (left side LT) and is provided on the rear side (front FR) of the article storage section 100. The fixture 1 also has a wiring insertion section 11h formed therein through which wiring can be inserted into the wiring storage section 200 from the outside of one side of the wiring storage section 200.
[0075] As a result, wiring can be easily performed in the wiring housing section 200 provided at the rear side of the item housing section 100, and a fixture 1 with improved wiring workability can be provided.
[0076] In addition, by making the wiring insertion portion 11h a notch provided at the lower end of the wiring side panel 11 and opening downward LO, the wiring inserted through the wiring insertion portion 11h can be routed along the floor surface F, reducing the risk of users or passersby tripping over the wiring.
[0077] Second Embodiment FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a fixture 1A according to the second embodiment. The fixture 1A includes a fixture main body 10A and a plurality of storage sections 40. The fixture 1A according to this embodiment does not include the support column 20, shelf section 30, and support section 50 that are included in the fixture 1 according to the first embodiment.
[0078] The fixture body 10A includes a side panel 13A, a top panel 14, a bottom panel 15, a back panel 16, and a partition panel 18. The fixture body 10A also includes an item storage section 100 and a wiring storage section 200, similar to the fixture body 10 of the first embodiment.
[0079] The upper end of the side panel 13A does not protrude above UP of the top panel 14. In addition, the end of the front FR of the side panel 13A does not protrude to the front FR of the back panel 16. That is, the side panel 13A has smaller dimensions in the up-down direction V and the front-rear direction D than the side panel 13 of the first embodiment.
[0080] Specifically, the dimensions of side panel 13A in the up-down direction V and the front-rear direction D are equivalent to the combined dimensions of wiring side panel 11 and article side panel 12. Side panel 13A may have a cutout portion 13h, similar to side panel 13 of the first embodiment.
[0081] Furthermore, since the fixture 1A does not include a support portion 20, the wiring is led out from the wiring housing portion 200 to the upper surface of the top plate 14 via the wiring hole 14h in the top plate 14 at the upper side UP of the wiring housing portion 200.
[0082] Although an example of use of fixture 1 of the first embodiment as a blood collection booth has been described above, fixture 1A of this embodiment can be used in a simpler manner.
[0083] For example, the upper surface of the tabletop 14 may simply be used as a place to install electronic equipment (such as office automation equipment). In this case, wiring drawn from the wiring housing 200 via the wiring hole 14h is connected to the electronic equipment on the tabletop 14. By inserting the wiring into the wiring housing 200 from the outside of the fixture 1A via the wiring insertion portion 11h, the cutout portion 13h, and the wiring hole 14h, the wiring can be made less visible to the user, improving the aesthetic appearance of the fixture 1A. Also, as in the first embodiment, the wiring side panel 11 is detachably provided in the wiring housing 200, improving the ease of wiring work in the wiring housing 200. As with fixture 1A of this embodiment, the method of using fixture 1 according to the first embodiment is not limited to blood collection booths.
[0084] The fixture 1A of this embodiment has the same effects as the fixture 1 of the first embodiment. The fixture 1A includes an article storage section 100 capable of storing articles, and a wiring storage section 200 having a wiring side panel 11 detachably provided forming one side surface, and provided at the rear side of the article storage section 100 and capable of storing wiring. Also, a wiring insertion section 11h is formed through which wiring can be inserted into the wiring storage section 200 from one outside of the wiring storage section 200.
[0085] As a result, wiring can be easily performed in the wiring housing section 200 provided at the rear side of the item housing section 100, and a fixture 1 with improved wiring workability can be provided.
[0086] Although each embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like within the scope of the present invention are also included. In addition, the components shown in the above-mentioned embodiments and the modified examples shown below can be appropriately combined to configure the present invention.
[0087] (Variation 1) In the above embodiment, the wiring insertion portion 11h is a notch that is provided at the lower end of the wiring side plate 11 and opens downward LO, but the form of the wiring insertion portion is not limited to this. The wire insertion portion may be any portion that allows wires to be inserted into the wire housing portion 200 from one outside of the wire housing portion 200, and may be, for example, a gap between the wiring side panel and the floor surface F.
[0088] In this case, the wiring side plate has a smaller dimension in the up-down direction V than the article side plate 12. Also, a gap (wiring insertion portion) is formed below the wiring side plate LO due to the difference in dimension in the up-down direction V between the wiring side plate and the article side plate 12. A user can insert a wire into the gap between the wiring side plate and the floor surface F, and insert the wire into the wiring housing 200 from one outside of the wiring housing 200.
[0089] (Variation 2) In the above embodiment, the fixture 1, 1A includes a storage section 40 provided in the article storage section 100, but the aspect of the fixture is not limited to this. The fixture only needs to be capable of storing items in the item storage section, and may not have a storage section 40 and may be configured so that items can be placed on the upper surface of the base plate 15.
