Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wall storage device and a room structure. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, fireplaces have been installed in living rooms and other living spaces. Fireplaces not only provide warmth for those in the room, but also serve to bring people together and make the room a place of relaxation. However, in recent years, issues such as the shrinking of urban lot size, the issue of chimney exhaust, and the need for firewood have made it difficult to install fireplaces in living rooms and other living spaces. For this reason, televisions (also called televisions, television receivers, or television sets, hereinafter referred to as televisions) installed in living rooms have come to attract people to the room and make it a place of relaxation. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for mounting a thin display device such as a television by embedding the main body on the rear side of the device in a wall. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-060426 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3242067 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, when a thin display device such as a television is mounted in a wall by being recessed as in the past, it has the advantage of improving the appearance of the room because the main body, wiring, etc. can be hidden. On the other hand, when a thin display device is mounted in a wall by being recessed as in the past, it may be difficult to easily perform maintenance on the main body, wiring, etc.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the appearance of a room and make it easy to maintain a thin-type display device by installing the thin-type display device in a state where it is embedded in a wall. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 11, a wall storage device 15 provided integrally with a wall surface on the side of the first area 3 of a boundary wall 6 that separates a first area 3 (living room 3) from second areas 4, 5 (first bedroom 4, second bedroom 5) adjacent to the first area 3, with an internal hollow portion, a first storage recess 25a formed in a front center portion in a recessed state toward the rear, in which the thin display device 13 (television 13) is stored; a wiring space 35 located behind the first storage recess 25a and in the internal hollow portion, in which a cord of the thin display device 13 is wired; The boundary wall 6 is characterized by having inspection openings 36, 37, 38, 39 formed to penetrate the boundary wall 6 in the thickness direction and connecting the second areas 4, 5 and the wiring space 35.

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, the first storage recess 25a is formed in a rearward recessed position at the center of the front surface, and the thin display device 13 is stored in the first storage recess 25a. This allows the thin display device 13 to be installed in a recessed state relative to the wall storage device 15 integrally formed on the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 on the first region 3 side. Furthermore, the cord of the thin display device 13 can be routed to the wiring space 35 located behind the first storage recess 25a and in the hollow interior. This improves the appearance of the room (living space 2) in which the wall storage device 15 is installed. Furthermore, the inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39 connecting the second regions 4 and 5 with the wiring space 35 are formed through the boundary wall 6 in the thickness direction, allowing easy maintenance of the rear portion of the thin display device 13 and the wiring through the inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39.

[0008] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7, in the wall storage device 15 described in claim 1, The flat panel display device further includes a second storage recess 25b, which is disposed adjacent to the first storage recess 25a in the vertical direction and is recessed rearward, and in which other devices 14a, 14b different from the flat panel display device 13 are stored, The wiring space 35 is provided from the rear of the first storage recess 25a to the rear of the second storage recess 25b, and is characterized in that the cords of the other devices 14a, 14b are wired in the wiring space 35.

[0009] According to the invention described in claim 2, the second storage recess 25b is formed in a position vertically adjacent to the first storage recess 25a and recessed rearward. The second storage recess 25b stores the other devices 14a, 14b. This allows the other devices 14a, 14b to be installed in a recessed state within the wall storage device 15 integrally formed on the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 facing the first region 3. Furthermore, the cords of the other devices 14a, 14b can be routed through a wiring space 35 extending from the rear of the first storage recess 25a to the rear of the second storage recess 25b. This improves the appearance of the room (living space 2) in which the wall storage device 15 is installed. Furthermore, because the wiring space 35 is provided from the rear of the first storage recess 25a to the rear of the second storage recess 25b, maintenance work on the wiring between the rear of the other devices 14a, 14b and the thin-film display device 13 can be easily performed through the inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39.

[0010] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in the figure, in the wall storage device 15 described in claim 2, The inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 are formed in plurality on the boundary wall 6 in positions corresponding to the rear of the first storage recess 25a and the rear of the second storage recess 25b.

[0011] According to the invention described in claim 3, inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 are formed in multiple locations on the boundary wall 6, corresponding to positions rearward of the first storage recess 25a and positions rearward of the second storage recess 25b, so that maintenance work can be performed by opening only the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 at the positions where maintenance work is required.

[0012] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7 and 12, in the wall surface storage device 15 described in claim 1, Further provided with storage shelf sections 30, 31 provided at least at one end of both widthwise ends, The storage shelf sections 30, 31 are characterized by having a plurality of counter plates 32 arranged at intervals in the height direction.

[0013] According to the invention described in claim 4, the storage shelf sections 30, 31 provided at least at one end of both widthwise ends have a plurality of counter plates 32 spaced apart in the height direction, which increases the storage space of the wall storage device 15 and makes it possible to store items other than the thin display device 13. As a result, the wall storage device 15 can be presented not only as a wall with the thin display device 13 embedded therein but also as a decorative shelf, thereby contributing to improving the appearance of the room.

[0014] The invention described in claim 5 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 7, a room structure provided with the wall storage device 15 described in any one of claims 1 to 4, The room 2 (living space 2) is divided into the first area 3 and the second areas 4, 5 (first bedroom 4, second bedroom 5) by the boundary wall 6, The wall storage device 15 is integrally provided on the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 on the side of the first region 3, with the internal hollow portion being formed therein, The first area 3 is a living room 3 including at least a living room, The inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 are located on the second areas 4, 5 side, and are characterized in that they connect the second areas 4, 5 and the wiring space 35.

[0015] According to the invention described in claim 5, the first area 3 in which the wall storage device 15 is provided is the living room 3 including at least the living room, and the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 are located on the second areas 4, 5 side and connect the second areas 4, 5 to the wiring space 35, so that maintenance work can be prevented from being performed in the living room 3 including the living room. This contributes to protecting the aesthetics of the living room 3 including the living room, and ultimately contributes to improving the appearance of the room 2.

[0016] The invention described in claim 6 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the room structure described in claim 5, The second areas 4 and 5 are characterized in that shielding walls 11a and 12a (side walls 11a and 12a) for shielding the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38 and 39 are erected at an interval from the boundary wall 6.

[0017] According to the invention described in claim 6, in the second areas 4, 5, shielding walls 11a, 12a (side walls 11a, 12a) for shielding the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 are erected at a distance from the boundary wall 6, thereby shielding the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39, improving the appearance of the second areas 4, 5 and securing space for maintenance work, making it easier to carry out the maintenance work. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to the present invention, by installing a thin display device in a state where it is embedded in a wall, the appearance of the room can be improved and maintenance of the thin display device can be easily performed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for carrying out the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples. Note that the directions and orientations in the following embodiments and illustrated examples are set solely for the convenience of explanation.

[0021] In FIG. 1, the reference numeral 1 denotes a multi-story building. This building 1 is a residence / church, and has living spaces 2 on certain floors. The building 1 in this embodiment is, for example, a steel-framed building, but is not limited to this and may be a building of other structures, such as wood. In other words, there are no particular limitations on the construction method used to construct the building 1. Furthermore, although the use of the building 1 is shown as a residence / church, it is not limited to this and may be a building for residence only, a church only, or other uses.

[0022] The walls of the building 1 including the living space 2 comprise a steel column 50, an exterior wall material 51 attached to the outdoor side of the steel column 50, an interior wall material 52 arranged on the indoor side of the steel column 50, and a heat insulating material 53 filled in the space (hollow portion) between the exterior wall material 51 and the interior wall material 52. In addition, although not shown in the figure, a support frame made of lightweight steel material assembled to a steel column 50 is placed in the hollow space between the exterior wall material 51 and the interior wall material 52, and the exterior wall material 51 and the interior wall material 52 are appropriately fixed and supported not only by the steel column 50 but also by the support frame. Columns are partially visible on the walls of the living space 2. However, this is not limited to this, and the walls of the living space 2 may be flat walls without any exposed columns.

[0023] Residential space 2 is a roughly rectangular space in plan view that is longer in the north-south direction than in the east-west direction, and is designed to accommodate clergy (priests, pastors, etc.), their families, staff, etc., living together. The people who live in residential space 2 will be referred to as residents hereafter.

[0024] On the south side of the living space 2 is a living room 3 (a so-called LDK room) that combines the functions of a living room, dining room, and kitchen. In the kitchen part of the living room 3, shelves and a refrigerator are installed on the south wall, and an island kitchen 3a is installed to the north of them. In the dining room part, a dining table 3b is installed adjacent to the island kitchen 3a. In the living room part, a sofa 3c and a sofa table 3d are installed, and a wall storage unit 15 is integrated into the wall surface of the boundary wall 6, which will be described later. A television 13 is installed and stored in the wall storage unit 15. The island kitchen 3a, dining table 3, sofa 3c, sofa table 3d, and wall storage device 15 are arranged in a row in the north-south direction, so that the television 13 is easily visible no matter where the resident is in the living room 3.

[0025] Bedrooms 4 and 5 are located on the north side of the living space 2, separated into east and west. Hereinafter, bedroom 4 on the west side will be referred to as bedroom 1 4, and bedroom 5 on the east side will be referred to as bedroom 2 5. Each bedroom 4 and 5 is equipped with a bed.

[0026] A cantilevered balcony 2a is provided on the outdoor side of the eastern wall of the living space 2. Two French windows 2b are also provided on the eastern wall for access to the cantilevered balcony 2a.

[0027] Also, although not shown in the figure, outside the residential space 2 on a given floor, there are non-living rooms necessary for living, such as water rooms including toilets and bathrooms, and means of transportation (stairs, elevators) for moving to other floors.

[0028] A boundary wall 6 is provided between the area of ​​the living space 2 on the living room 3 side and the areas on the first bedroom 4 and second bedroom 5 side, separating these areas. The boundary wall 6 is provided from the west wall to the east wall of the living space 2, and from the floor to the ceiling of the living space 2. In other words, the width dimension of the boundary wall 6 is set to be approximately equal to the distance between the west wall and the east wall of the living space 2, and the height dimension of the boundary wall 6 is set to be approximately equal to the ceiling height of the living space 2.

[0029] The boundary wall 6 is formed with a first entrance 6a for passing between the living room 3 and the first bedroom 4, and a second entrance 6b for passing between the living room 3 and the second bedroom 5. The first entrance 6a and the second entrance 6b are each opened and closed by a door. The first entrance 6a is located at the left end of the boundary wall 6, and the second entrance 6b is located at the right end of the boundary wall 6. The wall storage device 15 is located on the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 facing the living room 3, between the first entrance 6a and the second entrance 6b.

[0030] The first bedroom 4 and the second bedroom 5 can be separated by a partition device 7. The partition device 7 includes sliding doors 8 and 9 for separating the first bedroom 4 and the second bedroom 5, a door pocket 10 into which the sliding doors 8 and 9 are retracted, and storage compartments 11 and 12 formed integrally with the door pocket 10. The beds in each of the bedrooms 4 and 5 are installed along the partition device 7.

[0031] The sliding doors 8, 9 can be retracted into the door pocket 10 to open the space between the first bedroom 4 and the second bedroom 5 (non-partitioning state). The sliding doors 8, 9 can also be fixed in position by fixing means (not shown) while keeping the space between the first bedroom 4 and the second bedroom 5 closed (partitioning state). The door pocket 10 is formed between a first door pocket side wall 10a on the first bedroom 4 side and a second door pocket side wall 10b on the second bedroom 5 side, which are arranged in parallel. The first door pocket side wall 10a and the second door pocket side wall 10b are fixed perpendicular to the bedroom-side wall surface of the boundary wall 6 in a plan view.

[0032] Like the boundary wall 6, the height dimensions of the first door pocket side wall 10a and the second door pocket side wall 10b are set to be approximately equal to the ceiling height of the living space 2. Rails (not shown) along which the sliding doors 8, 9 run when opening and closing are provided on the floor and ceiling of the portion located between the first bedroom 4 and the second bedroom 5. However, if the sliding doors 8, 9 are of the overhead type, the rails are provided only on the ceiling.

[0033] The storage areas 11, 12 consist of a first storage area 11 on the first bedroom 4 side and a second storage area 12 on the second bedroom 5 side. Explaining in more detail, the first storage area 11 refers to the space surrounded by the boundary wall 6, the first door pocket side wall 10a, and a side wall 11a that is perpendicular to the first door pocket side wall 10a in a plan view and arranged parallel to the boundary wall 6. The second storage area 12 refers to the space surrounded by the boundary wall 6, the second door pocket side wall 10b, and a side wall 12a that is perpendicular to the second door pocket side wall 10b in a plan view and arranged parallel to the boundary wall 6. That is, both the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12 are storage spaces formed in a roughly U-shape in plan view, with openings on opposite sides. In this embodiment, the openings are opened and closed by double doors, but this is not limited to this and may be folding doors or the like.

[0034] 1, the two-dot chain lines attached to side walls 11a, 12a indicate air conditioners (indoor units). That is, air conditioners are installed in both first bedroom 4 and second bedroom 5. In other words, side walls 11a, 12a are erected with enough strength to allow air conditioners to be installed, and first door pocket side wall 10a and second door pocket side wall 10b, which are perpendicular to side walls 11a, 12a, are also erected with a similar strength. Of the other two-dot chain lines in FIG. 1, those inside the room similarly represent the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and those outside the room represent the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0035] [About wall storage devices] 2 to 12 show details of the wall storage device 15. Such a wall storage device 15 is provided integrally with the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 on the living room 3 side. In other words, the wall storage device 15 may be configured to include the boundary wall 6 that divides the living space 2 into north and south.

[0036] More specifically, the wall storage device 15 has a framework of a support frame 16 that is integrally assembled to the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 on the living room 3 side. In this embodiment, the support frame 16 is made of, for example, lightweight steel frame material 16a, but is not limited to this and may be made of wood or other materials.

[0037] A base board 17 is attached to the surface of the support frame 16, and serves as a base for attaching the finishing materials, tiles 19 and wallpaper 20. In this embodiment, gypsum board is used for the base board 17, but it is not limited to this and may be plywood or the like. Furthermore, liner plywood 18 is provided in place of the base board 17 in the storage shelf sections 30, 31 on which the counter board 32 is provided. The support frame 16 is covered with the base board 17 and the liner plywood 18. Therefore, the wall storage device 15 has a hollow interior.

[0038] The finishing materials attached to the surface of the base board 17 and the liner plywood 18 are tiles 19 and wallpaper 20, as described above. The tiles 19 are made of multiple types of tiles 19 in similar colors, arranged randomly to enhance the design. The wallpaper 20 is appropriately selected to have a color and design that harmonizes with the tiles 19. The tiles 19 are attached to the base board material 17 and the liner plywood 18 via adhesive 19a for the tiles 19. Furthermore, joints 19b appear between adjacent tiles 19 and between adjacent tiles 19 and the cross 20. The joints 19b are formed by a joint material.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2, the wall storage device 15 having the above-described structure comprises a central wall portion 25 having most of its surface finished with tiles 19, storage shelf portions 30 and 31 provided on both the left and right sides of the central wall portion 25, and a wiring space 35 utilizing the internal hollow portion.

[0040] The central wall portion 25 has a first storage recess 25a formed in the center of the height direction and in which the television 13 is stored, and a second storage recess 25b formed below the first storage recess 25a and in which other devices 14a, 14b are stored. The central wall 25 is a wall except for the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b. That is, the wall storage device 15 functions as a "floor wall" that is a thicker version of the boundary wall 6.

[0041] As described above, most of the surface of central wall 25 is finished and covered with tiles 19. Flooring material is laid on the floor of living room 3, and floor-side parting material 22, which functions similarly to a baseboard, is provided between the tiles 19 and the flooring material. In other words, by providing such floor-side parting material 22, the gap between the lowest tile 19 and the flooring material can be filled and the appearance can be improved. The floor-side parting material 22 has an exposed portion formed with a U-shaped cross section, and a fixed plate portion that extends upward from the upper end of the exposed portion and is fixed to the surface of the base plate material 17. The hollow portion of the U-shaped cross section exposed portion is filled with a filler material 22a to make the exposed portion solid.

[0042] The first storage recess 25a is a recess that is rectangular in front view and is formed by the support frame 16 and the base plate 17. Since it is assumed that the television 13 to be stored in the first storage recess 25a is thin, the depth dimension of the first storage recess 25a to the rear side surface 25c is also set to be short. That is, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first storage recess 25a is set to be shallower as a recess than the second storage recess 25b.

[0043] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, tiles 19 are attached to the bottom and side surfaces of the first storage recess 25a. On the other hand, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, cloth 20 is attached to the inner side surface 25c of the first storage recess 25a and the top surface of the first storage recess 25a. Furthermore, the tiles 19 attached to the bottom and side surfaces of the first storage recess 25a and the tiles 19 attached to the front surface (the side surface facing the living room 3) of the central wall 25 have their ends perpendicular to each other in a plan view, so the end grain (end face) of one of the tiles 19 is exposed. Therefore, in this embodiment, an end grain trimming material 21 formed in a substantially L-shape in a plan view is attached to the end of the tile 19 attached to the front surface (the side surface facing the living room 3) of the central wall 25, on the side facing the first storage recess 25a. The end grain trimming material 21 has a first portion that contacts the end grain of the tile 19 and shields the end grain, and a second portion that is formed integrally with the end of the first portion and extends to the back side of the tile 19.

[0044] In this embodiment, the tile 19 attached to the front surface of the central wall 25 (the side facing the living room 3) and the tile 19 or wallpaper 20 located further back in the first storage recess 25a than the tile 19 are arranged perpendicularly in a cross-sectional view. The tile 19 attached to the front surface of the central wall 25 (the side facing the living room 3) is positioned with its end grain exposed. Therefore, a second portion of the end grain trim 21 can be fixed to the base board 17 to which the front tile 19 is attached, allowing the end grain of the front tile 19 to be shielded by the first portion of the end grain trim 21. Furthermore, the periphery of the first storage recess 25a is bordered by the end grain trim 21, providing excellent design. This improves the appearance of the periphery of the first storage recess 25a and ultimately the appearance of the entire living room 3. Alternatively, the edges of adjacent tiles 19 that are perpendicular to each other may be cut at an angle of 45 degrees in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 12, so that the cut surfaces come into contact with each other and the end grain is not visible.

[0045] The position where the edge trimming material 21 is attached is the same for the second storage recess 25b. That is, the edge trimming material 21 is attached to the end of the tile 19 attached to the front surface of the central wall 25 (the side surface of the living room 3) on the second storage recess 25b side. The periphery of the second storage recess 25b is bordered by the edge trimming material 21, which provides excellent design. This improves the appearance of the periphery of the second storage recess 25b, and ultimately improves the appearance of the entire living room 3.

[0046] 7, a through-hole 26 is formed in the back side surface 25c of the first storage recess 25a for passing through various cords such as the power cord and antenna cable of the television 13. The various cords of the television 13 are then wired in the wiring space 35. Further, on the rear side surface 25c, a terminal opening 27 is formed for passing cords of output terminals from external devices to various input terminals provided on the rear surface of the television 13. Furthermore, a hooking hardware 28 for hooking the rear surface (hooking portion) of the television 13 is fixed to the rear surface 25c. In addition, at the position on the rear side surface 25c where the hook hardware 28 is fixed, multiple thickness adjustment materials made of gypsum board (base board material 17) or liner plywood 18 are stacked and provided, and the number of sheets may be changed depending on the thickness of the television 13. The plate material constituting the rear side surface 25c is also made of gypsum board (base plate material 17) or liner plywood 18. Furthermore, although not shown, a metal reinforcement base to which the fixing portion of the hook metal fitting 28 is fixed is provided on the back side of the plate material constituting the rear side surface 25c.

[0047] The second storage recess 25b is a recess that is rectangular in front view and is formed by the support frame 16 and the base plate 17. The other devices 14a, 14b stored in the second storage recess 25b are, for example, a game console 14a or a Blu-ray recorder 14b connected to the television 13, and require a greater depth for installation than the television 13. For this reason, the depth dimension to the rear side surface 25d of the second storage recess 25b is set to be longer. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second storage recess 25b is set to be deeper as a recess than the first storage recess 25a.

[0048] Although not shown, a through-hole for passing the cords of the other devices 14a, 14b is formed in the inner side surface 25d of the second storage recess 25b. The cords of the other devices 14a, 14b are then routed through the wiring space 35.

[0049] The storage shelf sections 30, 31 have multiple counter plates 32 arranged at intervals in the height direction. Hereinafter, the storage shelf section 30 on the first entrance / exit 6a side will be referred to as the first storage shelf section 30, and the storage shelf section 31 on the second entrance / exit 6b side will be referred to as the second storage shelf section 31. The left and right ends of the wall storage device 15 are cut out in an approximately L shape when viewed in a plane, and are open to the front (towards the living room 3) and the sides, and a counter board 32 is attached horizontally to the cutout to form shelves (first storage shelf section 30, second storage shelf section 31).

[0050] As shown in FIG. 12(a), the counter board 32 is fixed with screws (or with adhesive, or with a combination of screws and adhesive) to the upper end surface of the liner plywood 18 located directly below it. 12(b), a further liner plywood 18 is provided directly above the counter board 32 fixed to the liner plywood 18 located directly below, so that the counter board 32 is sandwiched between the upper and lower liner plywoods 18. This allows the counter board 32 to be attached in a more stable state. In the first storage shelf section 30 and the second storage shelf section 31, the surfaces facing sideways are finished with tiles 19, and the surfaces facing forward are finished with wallpaper 20.

[0051] The counter plates 32 divide the first storage shelf section 30 and the second storage shelf section 31 into a plurality of storage spaces, the uppermost storage space including the ceiling, and the lowermost storage space including the floor. Baseboards 33 are provided on the front-facing surfaces of the first storage shelf section 30 and the second storage shelf section 31 and on the side of the wall storage device 15 adjacent to the boundary wall 6.

[0052] Next, the wiring space 35 is formed by utilizing the internal hollow portion of the wall-mounted storage device 15. More specifically, the support frame 16 is formed by assembling lightweight steel members 16a into a frame shape, and a base board 17 and a liner plywood 18 are attached to the surface to form an internal hollow portion. Of these internal hollow portions, the internal hollow portions located on the back side of the rear side surface 25c of the first storage recess 25a and the rear side surface 25d of the second storage recess 25b are used as the wiring space 35 for wiring the cords of the television 13 and the other devices 14a and 14b. Although not shown, it is assumed that the wiring space 35 is provided with outlets for inserting the power plugs of the television 13 and other devices 14a and 14b, and an antenna terminal for inserting an antenna cable.

[0053] The wiring space 35 is provided across the rear of the first storage recess 25a and the rear of the second storage recess 25b. Wiring and maintenance work can be performed by inserting hands and tools through multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 formed in the boundary wall 6. The multiple inspection hatches include a first inspection hatch 36 and a second inspection hatch 37 located behind the first storage recess 25a, and a third inspection hatch 38 and a fourth inspection hatch 39 located behind the second storage recess 25b. In this embodiment, the wiring space 35 is provided across the rear of the first storage recess 25a and the rear of the second storage recess 25b, but it may be separated vertically behind the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b. Also, it may be provided behind the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b in accordance with the positions of the four inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39.

[0054] The inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 are closed by covers 36a, 37a, 38a, and 39a, respectively, and can be opened by removing the covers 36a, 37a, 38a, and 39a. The lids 36a, 37a, 38a, and 39a in this embodiment are so-called Kendon-type lids, and can be removed by first lifting them up and then pulling them toward you while lowering them. However, the opening and closing method of the lids 36a, 37a, 38a, and 39a is not limited to this and can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

[0055] Of the multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39, the first inspection hatch 36 and the third inspection hatch 38 located on the west side are located inside the first storage section 11. Additionally, the second inspection hatch 37 and the fourth inspection hatch 39 located on the east side are located inside the second storage section 12. In other words, the multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 are located in places that are not commonly seen by people. Therefore, the formation of the multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 does not impair the aesthetic appeal of the living space 2.

[0056] In the wall storage unit 15 configured as described above, when performing maintenance work on the television 13, for example, the worker enters the bedroom that requires maintenance, either the first bedroom 4 or the second bedroom 5, from the living room 3. In this example, the bedroom is the second bedroom 5. The worker who has entered second bedroom 5 then goes further into second storage section 12, removes kendong-style lid 37a to open second inspection hatch 37, and inspects the cord of television 13 in wiring space 35. Once the inspection is complete, second inspection hatch 37 is closed with lid 37a, and the worker leaves second bedroom 5. In other words, since maintenance of television 13 does not require work from the front side (living room 3 side), the work itself can be carried out as simply as possible.

[0057] According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. That is, first storage recess 25a is formed in a rearward recessed position at the center of the front of wall-mounted storage device 15, and television 13 is stored in first storage recess 25a, allowing television 13 to be installed in a recessed state relative to wall-mounted storage device 15, which is integrally formed on the wall surface of boundary wall 6 facing first region 3. Furthermore, the cord of television 13 can be routed to wiring space 35 located behind first storage recess 25a and in the hollow interior. This improves the appearance of living space 2 in building 1 in which wall-mounted storage device 15 is installed. Furthermore, inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39 connecting second regions 4 and 5 with wiring space 35 are formed through boundary wall 6 in the thickness direction, allowing easy maintenance of the rear of television 13 and the wiring through inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39.

[0058] Furthermore, the second storage recess 25b is formed in a position vertically adjacent to the first storage recess 25a and recessed rearward. The second storage recess 25b stores the other devices 14a, 14b, allowing the other devices 14a, 14b to be installed in a recessed state relative to the wall storage device 15 integrally provided on the wall surface of the boundary wall 6 facing the first region 3. The cords of the other devices 14a, 14b can be routed through a wiring space 35 provided behind the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b. This improves the appearance of the living space 2 in the building 1 in which the wall storage device 15 is installed. Furthermore, because the wiring space 35 is provided behind the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b, maintenance work on the wiring between the rear portions of the other devices 14a, 14b and the television 13 can be easily performed through the inspection openings 36, 37, 38, and 39.

[0059] Furthermore, multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 are formed on the boundary wall 6 at positions rearward of the first storage recess 25a and the second storage recess 25b, so that maintenance work can be performed by opening only the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 at the positions where maintenance work is required.

[0060] Furthermore, storage shelf sections 30, 31 provided at least at one of both widthwise ends have multiple counter plates 32 spaced apart in the height direction, which increases the storage space of wall storage device 15 and makes it possible to store items other than television 13. This allows wall storage device 15 to appear not just as a wall with television 13 embedded in it, but also as a decorative shelf, thereby contributing to improving the appearance of the room.

[0061] Furthermore, the first area 3 in which the wall storage device 15 is installed is the living room 3, and the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 are located on the second areas 4, 5 side, connecting the second areas 4, 5 with the wiring space 35, so that maintenance work can be prevented from being performed in the living room 3. This contributes to protecting the aesthetics of the living room 3, and ultimately contributes to improving the appearance of the living space 2 in the building 1.

[0062] In addition, in the second areas 4, 5, side walls 11a, 12a are erected at a distance from the boundary wall 6 as shielding walls for shielding the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39, thereby shielding the inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 and improving the appearance of the second areas 4, 5, while also ensuring space for maintenance work, making it easier to carry out the work.

[0063] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a demand for the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and for the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and in the construction industry, efforts are being made to build buildings using wood, which has low carbon dioxide emissions. In the wall storage device 15 of this embodiment, the support frame 16 is made of lightweight steel material 16a, but as described above, this can be replaced with wood, so if wood is used as the material for the support frame 16, it can contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs.

[0064] [Modification] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Modifications will be described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. In each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0065] [Variation 1] In the above embodiment, the residential space 2 is divided into north and south areas by a boundary wall 6, and the northern area is further divided into east and west areas by a partition device 7, but in this modified example, the northern area is not divided into east and west areas by a partition device 7. That is, although not shown, the living space 2 of this modified example is divided into north and south by the boundary wall 6, but is not equipped with a partition device 7. The north area is a non-habitable room such as a storeroom or walk-in closet, and is not a place where residents normally spend their time. Therefore, the multiple inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, and 39 formed in the boundary wall 6 may remain exposed to the north area. In this modification, there may be only one entrance between the south area and the north area.

[0066] [Variation 2] In the above embodiment, the ceiling height of the entire living space 2 is set to be the same, but in this modified example, the ceiling height may be different between one area and the other area separated by the boundary wall 6. That is, although not shown, the living space 2 of this modified example is divided into north and south by a boundary wall 6, with the southern area being the living room 3. The northern area is a low-ceiling storage room with a lower ceiling height than the living room 3, and the ceiling height can be changed as appropriate within a range of 0.8 m to 1.4 m. This ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m is a height range that ensures the minimum height that allows a person to enter the low-ceiling storage room and still be able to work there, and by keeping the ceiling height to a minimum in this way, it is possible to minimize the impact of the increased height of building 1 on adjacent buildings, such as reduced sunlight. In this modification, there may be only one entrance between the south area and the north area.

[0067] [Variation 3] In the above embodiment, the first storage recess 25a accommodates the thin television 13, but in this modification, other thin display devices other than television receivers, such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, etc., are accommodated. In other words, the type of thin display device is not particularly limited, and whether the television 13 or another thin display device is adopted, the back surface thereof is provided with a hook portion onto which the hook hardware 28 can be hooked, as well as with a power cord and various input terminals.

[0068] [Variation 4] In the above embodiment, four inspection hatches 36, 37, 38, 39 were formed: one at the left and right rear of first storage recess 25a, and one at the left and right rear of second storage recess 25b, but in this modified example, there are two inspection hatches at a height approximately equal to the height from the floor to the vicinity of the upper end of first storage recess 25a, one on the left and right sides of first storage section 11 and second storage section 12. In other words, because the vertical dimension of the inspection hatches is set long, it is possible to open the portions of wiring space 35 corresponding to positions behind first storage recess 25a and positions behind second storage recess 25b at the same time.
