[0008] A storage device 1 (storage case) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the width direction, sliding direction, and up-down (height) direction refer to the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively, as shown in the drawings. The storage device 1 according to this embodiment can be freely switched between a first usage mode (see FIG. 1) in which one end of a storage member 2 (described in detail below) is pulled forward to allow storage and removal of stored items, and a second usage mode (see FIG. 2) in which the other end of the storage member 2 is pulled forward to allow storage and removal of stored items. In other words, the direction in which the storage member 2 is pulled out can be reversed.

[0009] The storage device 1 comprises a storage member 2 and a support member 5 that supports the storage member 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). In this embodiment, the storage member 2 and the support member 5 are both made of resin. The storage member 2 is provided so as to be displaceable in a sliding direction relative to the support member 5. The storage member 2 is a so-called "drawer" portion, and is a member in which a storage space 31 in which items to be stored is formed. In this embodiment, the storage member 2 comprises a main body member 3 and an accessory member 4 (see FIGS. 1 to 3). The main body member 3 is a substantially box-shaped member in which the storage space 31 is formed. The storage space 31 is a space that is open upward (all surfaces except the upper side are closed). In other words, the upper side is the entrance to the storage space 31, from which items can be placed and removed.

[0010] The accessory member 4 is a member detachably attached to the main body member 3. Specifically, the accessory member 4 is attached to either one end or the other end (opposite to the one end) of the main body member 3 in the sliding direction. In this embodiment, the accessory member 4 includes a front panel 41 and an attachment piece 42 (see FIG. 3 ). The main body member 3 has portions (recesses (grooves) in this embodiment) on both one end and the other end in the sliding direction, on which the attachment pieces 42 having the same structure are hooked. Therefore, by pressing the accessory member 4 against one end face or the other end face of the main body member 3, the attachment piece 42 elastically deforms, and the accessory member 4 is fixed to the support member 5 so as not to move. Even when the accessory member 4 is fixed to the main body member 3, the accessory member 4 can be detached from the support member 5 by elastically deforming the attachment piece 42. This structure for attaching and detaching the accessory member 4 to the main body member 3 is merely an example. The detachable structure may be of any type as long as the accessory member 4 can be detachably fixed to either one end or the other end of the main body member 3 (this can be done by the user of the storage device 1).

[0011] Whether the accessory member 4 is fixed to one end or the other end of the main body member 3, its widthwise center substantially coincides with the widthwise center of the main body member 3. The accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41) has a greater widthwise length than the main body member 3, so a portion of the accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41) protrudes outward in the widthwise direction from both widthwise ends of the main body member 3 (see FIG. 5 ). In the following description, the configuration of the storage member 2 in which the accessory member 4 is fixed to one end of the main body member 3 is referred to as the “first configuration” (see FIG. 5(a)), and the configuration of the storage member 2 in which the accessory member 4 is fixed to the other end of the main body member 3 is referred to as the “second configuration” (see FIG. 5(b)). As will be described later, when the storage device 1 is used in the first usage mode, the storage member 2 is in the first configuration, and when the storage device 1 is used in the second usage mode, the storage member 2 is in the second configuration.

[0012] The front panel 41 is a part that forms the front surface of the storage member 2, which is a "drawer." In both the first and second usage modes, the front surface of the front panel 41 is the design surface of the "drawer." Because the front panel 41 forms the front surface of the "drawer," it is preferable that the front panel 41 be formed with a part on which the user can hook their hand when pulling out the storage member 2. In this embodiment, a notch 43 is formed below the front panel 41 (see Figures 3 and 4), and by hooking your hand here, the operation of pulling out the storage member 2 toward you can be easily performed.

[0013] The support member 5 supports the storage member 2 so that it can be displaced in the sliding direction. The support member 5 has a space (support space 51) into which the main member 3 constituting the storage member 2 can enter (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The support space 51 is open on both sides in the sliding direction, which serve as entrances to the support space 51 (the main member 3 can be inserted into and removed from the support space 51 through these entrances). Note that the support space 51 may be open at locations other than the entrance, but the main member 3 cannot be inserted or removed from locations other than the entrance. In a cross section cut along a plane (XZ plane) perpendicular to the sliding direction, the support space 51 is formed to be slightly larger than the main member 3, so the main member 3 can enter the support space 51. On the other hand, in the same cross section, the accessory member 4 (front panel portion 41) is larger than the support space 51 (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 4), so the accessory member 4 (front panel portion 41) cannot enter the support space 51. Specifically, the accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41) has a portion that protrudes outward beyond the entrance of the support space 51, and therefore the periphery of the entrance in the support member 5 gets in the way, preventing the accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41) from entering the support space 51. In this embodiment, the widthwise length of the accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41) is set to be approximately the same as the widthwise length of the support member 5.

[0014] At least one of the support member 5 and the storage member 2 is preferably provided with a structure that supports (guides) the sliding of the storage member 2 relative to the support member 5. In this embodiment, the support member 5 is formed with a guide portion 52 that is a protruding portion that protrudes toward the inside in the width direction (toward the support space 51) and extends in the sliding direction. On the other hand, the storage member 2 (main body member 3) is formed with a guided portion 32 that is a protruding portion that protrudes toward the outside in the width direction and extends in the sliding direction (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The storage member 2 slides relative to the support member 5 while the guide portion 52 and the guided portion 32 are maintained in an engaged state (contact state).

[0015] The storage devices 1 are preferably designed to be stackable in the vertical direction (two or more storage devices 1 can be stacked one on top of the other). In this embodiment, upper grooves 531 are provided on the upper side of the support member 5 and lower protrusions 532 are provided on the lower side of the support member 5 (FIGS. 1 and 2), and the storage devices 1 can be stacked vertically by fitting the lower protrusions 532 of the upper storage device 1 into the upper grooves 531 of the lower storage device 1. In this way, it is preferable that structures that engage when stacked vertically are provided on the upper and lower sides of the support member 5.

[0016] Furthermore, it is preferable that the underside of the storage device 1 (support member 5) is provided with a structure that allows for the attachment of casters or other devices that enable easy movement of the storage device 1. In other words, the storage device 1 can be installed as is, or it can be installed in a state that allows for easy movement by attaching casters or the like.

[0017] The storage device 1 in this embodiment is equipped with a partition member 6. The partition member 6 is a resin member attached to the main body member 3. In this embodiment, a groove 33 that is long in the vertical direction is formed on the inner side in the width direction of the main body member 3 (on the storage space 31 side). A plurality of the grooves 33 are formed side by side in the sliding direction. The partition member 6 can be attached to the main body member 3 by inserting the partition member 6 into one of the grooves 33 (inserting both widthwise sides of the partition member 6 into the grooves 33) (see FIG. 3).

[0018] The partition member 6 has a partition portion 61 and a protrusion portion 62 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The partition portion 61 is a plate-shaped portion that divides the storage space 31. Specifically, the partition portion 61 is a portion that extends along a plane (XZ plane) perpendicular to the sliding direction and that substantially divides the storage space 31 in half in the sliding direction. In other words, the storage space 31 is divided into a space on one side of the partition portion 61 and a space on the other side. Hereinafter, the one side of the partition portion 61 will be referred to as the first storage space 311, and the other side will be referred to as the second storage space 312. As described above, the main body member 3 has multiple grooves 33 formed in the sliding direction, so the attachment position of the partition member 6 relative to the main body member 3 can be changed. The sizes of the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 change depending on the attachment position of the partition member 6. The first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 have a relationship such that if one is larger, the other becomes smaller. Furthermore, it is preferable that one of the attachment positions of the partition member 6 (one of the plurality of grooves 33) is provided at a position where the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 are approximately the same size. In other words, it is preferable that the attachment position of the partition member 6 is set so as to divide the storage space 31 into approximately equal halves (the attachment position of the partition member 6 shown in FIG. 3 is a position which divides the storage space 31 into approximately equal halves).

[0019] The protrusion 62 is a portion provided above the partition 61 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). In this embodiment, the protrusion 62 is formed of a softer material (relatively flexible resin) than the partition 61. At least a portion of the upper side of the protrusion 62 protrudes above the storage space 31 (main body member 3). When the storage member 2 to which the partition member 6 is attached attempts to pass through the entrance of the support space 51, the protrusion 62 comes into contact with a contact portion 55 provided above the entrance of the support space 51. Because the protrusion 62 is a flexible and deformable portion, pushing the storage member 2 toward the support space 51 presses the protrusion 62 against the contact portion 55 and causes it to bend. When the storage member 2 is pushed in with a certain amount of force, the bent and deformed protrusion 62 overcomes the contact portion 55, and the storage member 2 enters the support space 51 (see FIG. 4).

[0020] The characteristics (switching of usage modes) of the storage device 1 configured in this manner are as follows. As described above, the accessory member 4 can be attached to either one end or the other end of the main body member 3 in the sliding direction. When the storage device 1 is used in the first usage mode, it is in the first configuration (see FIG. 5(a)) in which the accessory member 4 is attached to one end of the main body member 3. When the storage device 1 is used in the second usage mode, it is in the second configuration (see FIG. 5(b)) in which the accessory member 4 is attached to the other end of the main body member 3.

[0021] The storage space 31 is divided into a first storage space 311 and a second storage space 312 by a partition member 6 (partition portion 61). The first storage space 311 stores items to be put in and taken out when used in the first usage mode. The second storage space 312 stores items to be put in and taken out when used in the second usage mode. As described above, in this embodiment, the sizes of the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 change depending on the attachment position of the partition member 6. Therefore, the attachment position of the partition member 6 can be determined depending on the items to be stored in the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312. For example, if clothing is to be stored as the items to be stored, it is conceivable that summer (spring / summer) clothing (summer clothes) would be stored in the first storage space 311 and winter (autumn / winter) clothing (winter clothes) would be stored in the second storage space 312 (the characteristics of the storage device 1 will be described below assuming such use). However, this use is merely an example. Items that are used depending on the time of year (season), occasion, etc. can be stored separately (in the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312).

[0022] When the first usage mode is selected (a usage mode in which summer clothes can be taken in and out), the storage member 2 is set to the first configuration. When the storage member 2 in the first configuration is pushed into the support space 51 (the protrusion 62 is flexed and deformed to push the storage member 2 into the support space 51), one end side (the first storage space 311 side) of the storage member 2 can be pulled out / pushed in (see FIGS. 6(a) and 7(a)). When one end side of the storage member 2 is pulled out, the first storage space 311 is opened outside the support member 5, and the stored item (summer clothes) stored in the first storage space 311 can be taken in and out (see the lower diagrams of FIGS. 6(a) and 7(a)).

[0023] Here, when one end side (the side of the first storage space 311) of the storage member 2 is pulled out toward the user (pulled out from the support space 51), the protrusion 62 of the partition member 6 comes into contact with the contact portion 55 of the support member 5 when the first storage space 311 is substantially entirely opened (see the lower diagram in FIG. 7( a)), thereby providing resistance to the pull-out operation. In other words, the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) functions as a stopper (pull-out operation stopper) that stops the displacement of the storage member 2 (sliding toward the outside of the support space 51) when the first storage space 311, which is part of the storage space 31, protrudes outside the support member 5. As described above, the protrusion 62 is a part that is subject to flexural deformation, but since a corresponding force is required for the protrusion 62 to deform sufficiently to overcome the contact portion 55, the protrusion 62 functions satisfactorily as a stopper. In this way, the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) comes into contact with the contact portion 55 provided near the entrance of the support space 51, thereby stopping the pull-out operation, and the second storage space 312 remains contained within the support space 51. In other words, if the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) functions as a stopper, the second storage space 312 will not protrude outside the support member 5 (see the lower diagrams of Figure 6(a) and Figure 7(a)).

[0024] On the other hand, when one end side (first storage space 311 side) of storage member 2 is pushed inward (into support space 51), when the entire storage space 31 is accommodated within support space 51 (inside support member 5), front plate portion 41 of accessory member 4 comes into contact with one side end face of support member 5, stopping the pushing operation and preventing further displacement of storage member 2 (see the upper diagrams of Fig. 6(a) and Fig. 7(a)). In other words, accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41), which is detachable from main body member 3, functions as a stopper (pushing operation stopper) that stops displacement of storage member 2 (sliding toward the inside of support space 51).

[0025] When the second usage mode is selected (a usage mode in which winter clothes can be taken in and out), the storage member 2 is placed in the second configuration. When the storage member 2 placed in the second configuration is pushed into the support space 51 (the protrusion 62 is flexed and deformed to push the storage member 2 into the support space 51), the other end side (the second storage space 312 side) of the storage member 2 can be pulled out / pushed in (see FIGS. 6(b) and 7(b)). When the other end side of the storage member 2 is pulled out, the second storage space 312 is opened outside the support member 5, and the item (winter clothes) stored in the second storage space 312 can be taken in and out (see the lower diagrams of FIGS. 6(b) and 7(b)).

[0026] Here, when the other end side (the second storage space 312 side) of the storage member 2 is pulled out toward the user (pulled out from the support space 51), the protrusion 62 of the partition member 6 comes into contact with the contact portion 55 of the support member 5 when the second storage space 312, which is a part of the storage space 31, is substantially entirely opened, thereby providing resistance to the pull-out operation. In other words, the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) functions as a stopper (pull-out operation stopper) that stops the displacement of the storage member 2 (sliding toward the outside of the support space 51) when the second storage space 312, which is part of the storage space 31, protrudes outside the support member 5. As described above, the protrusion 62 is a flexible and deformable part, but a considerable force is required for the protrusion 62 to deform sufficiently to overcome the contact portion 55, and therefore the protrusion 62 fully functions as a stopper. In this way, the pull-out operation is stopped when the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) comes into contact with the contact portion 55 provided near the entrance of the support space 51, and the first storage space 311 remains contained within the support space 51. That is, if the partition member 6 (protrusion 62) functions as a stopper, the first storage space 311 will not protrude outside the support member 5 (see the lower diagrams of FIG. 6(b) and FIG. 7(b)).

[0027] On the other hand, when the other end side (second storage space 312 side) of storage member 2 is pushed inward (pushed into support space 51), when the entire storage space 31 is contained within support space 51 (inside support member 5), front plate portion 41 of accessory member 4 comes into contact with the other end face of support member 5, stopping the pushing operation and preventing further displacement of storage member 2 (see the upper diagrams of Fig. 6(b) and Fig. 7(b)). In other words, accessory member 4 (front plate portion 41), which is detachable from main body member 3, functions as a stopper (pushing operation stopper) that stops displacement of storage member 2 (sliding toward the inside of support space 51).

[0028] As described above, the storage device 1 according to this embodiment can be switched between a first usage mode in which stored items can be taken in and out of the first storage space 311 by pulling out one end of the storage member 2, and a second usage mode in which stored items can be taken in and out of the second storage space 312 by pulling out the other end of the storage member 2. In other words, the storage device 1 is easy to use because it can be switched between the first usage mode and the second usage mode while storing items in the storage space 31 (first storage space 311, second storage space 312). When used to store clothing (summer clothes and winter clothes) as described above, there is an advantage in that it is not necessary to change the clothing according to the change of seasons (it is sufficient to change the usage mode while storing both summer clothes and winter clothes in the storage space 31).

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) is provided that stops the displacement (sliding) of the storage member 2 in a state where the first storage space 311 protrudes outward from the support member 5 (support space 51) when a drawer operation is performed in the first usage mode, and in a state where the second storage space 312 protrudes outward from the support member 5 (support space 51) when a drawer operation is performed in the second usage mode. In both the first and second usage modes, the displacement of the storage member 2 stops with a portion of the storage space 31 (unused space; that is, the second storage space 312 in the first usage mode and the first storage space 311 in the second usage mode) remaining inside the support member 5 (support space 51) (the entire storage space 31 does not protrude outward), which provides excellent usability.

[0030] The above-mentioned drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) stops the displacement (sliding) of the storage member 2 based on the boundary between the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312, and therefore can be provided on the partition member that separates the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312, as in this embodiment.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in both the first and second usage modes, when the storage member 2 is pushed in, a push-in operation stopper (front panel portion 41) is provided that stops the displacement (sliding) of the storage member 2 when the storage space 31 is located inside the support member 5 (support space 51), making it easy to use.

[0032] It is preferable that the push-in operation stopper (front plate portion 41) be such that the attachment position can be changed (it is detachable) depending on the mode of use.

[0033] The following describes modified examples (examples of modifications, improvements, specific implementations, etc.) of the storage device 1. Note that, to the extent possible, the following modified examples may be used in combination with one another to form a configuration.

[0034] ○ Variation 1 The partition member 6 may be fixed to the storage member 2 (main body member 3) so that its position cannot be changed. In other words, the location where the storage space 31 is divided into the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 may not be changed. For example, the partition member 6 may be fixed at a location that divides the storage space 31 into approximately two spaces.

[0035] However, if the installation position of the partition member 6 can be changed as in the above embodiment, the user can change the size of the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 depending on the contents of the stored items, etc., which can be said to be easy to use.

[0036] ○Variation 2 The drawer operation stopper can be provided at a location other than the partition member 6, as long as it is displaced by the drawer operation of the storage member 2. For example, a drawer operation stopper protruding upward from the upper edge of the main body member 3 is provided. As in the above embodiment, the portion that becomes the drawer operation stopper is made of a flexible and deformable material (soft resin). In addition, a contact portion 55 is provided on the support member 5 at a position that comes into contact with the drawer operation stopper.

[0037] However, as in the above embodiment, by configuring the partition member 6 to have a drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62), there is an advantage that a structure is inevitably constructed in which the displacement (slide) of the storage member 2 is stopped based on the boundary between the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 (the displacement (slide) of the storage member 2 is stopped when one of the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312 goes outside the support member 5 (support space 51) and the other remains inside).

[0038] ○Variation 3 A configuration may be adopted in which the partition member 6 is not provided. In other words, a configuration may be adopted in which the storage space 31 is not divided into the first storage space 311 and the second storage space 312, as in the above embodiment. Even if the partition member 6 is not provided, if a drawer operation stopper as described in the above modified example 2 is provided, when a drawer operation is performed in the first usage mode, the displacement (sliding) of the storage member 2 is stopped with a part of one end side of the storage space 31 protruding outward from the support member 5 (support space 51), and when a drawer operation is performed in the second usage mode, the displacement (sliding) of the storage member 2 is stopped with a part of the other end side of the storage space 31 protruding outward from the support member 5 (support space 51).

[0039] ○Variation 4 The drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) may also be formed from a hard material (for example, hard resin). The drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) is formed from a soft material (soft resin) as in the above embodiment so that it can be inserted into the support space 51 of the storage member 2 (main body member 3) (so that the drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) can bend and deform to overcome the contact portion 55). However, the drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) may be formed from a hard material as long as it can insert the storage member 2 (main body member 3) into the support space 51.

[0040] For example, as shown in Fig. 8, the support member 5 may be divided (into a first support member 5a and a second support member 5b), and the storage device 1 may be assembled by sandwiching the storage member 2 (main body member 3) between the first support member 5a and the second support member 5b. In this way, the drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) may be flexibly deformed, eliminating the need to insert the storage member 2 (main body member 3) into the support space 51, and therefore the drawer operation stopper (protrusion 62) may be formed from a hard material. If the partition member 6 is provided with the protrusion 62 as in the above embodiment, the partition member 61 and the protrusion 62 may be integrally formed from the same hard material (hard resin).

[0041] In this example, when the storage member 2 is pulled out, the pull-out operation stopper (protrusion 62) made of a hard material is less likely to climb over the contact portion 55 (see FIG. 9). In other words, the risk that the pull-out operation stopper (protrusion 62) will climb over the contact portion 55 and cause the storage member 2 to become largely detached from the support member 5 during the pull-out operation is reduced.

[0042] ○Variation 5 The push-in operation stopper is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be configured to come into contact with the support member 5 when the storage space 31 (main body member 3) is inserted into the support space 51, thereby preventing further pushing.

[0043] For example, as shown in FIG. 10, it is conceivable to configure the member that functions as the push-in operation stopper to be divided (divided into a first accessory member 4a and a second accessory member 4b). In the first usage mode, the first configuration is configured in which the accessory members (first accessory member 4a and second accessory member 4b) are fixed to both sides in the width direction at one end of the main body member 3. In the second usage mode, the second configuration is configured in which the accessory members (first accessory member 4a and second accessory member 4b) are fixed to both sides in the width direction at the other end of the main body member 3. In both the first usage mode and the second usage mode, the first accessory member 4a and the second accessory member 4b come into contact with the support member 5, preventing further pushing operation.

[0044] However, as in the above embodiment, by making one accessory member 4 (front panel portion 41) function as a push-in operation stopper, the number of parts is reduced (fewer parts than in the case of a configuration like this example), and there are fewer dividing points (connection points of parts) in the appearance (fewer dividing points than in the case of a configuration like this example), which has the advantage of being superior in design.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
