Furthermore, by providing partitioned areas such as partition members or stepped areas that are lower at the rear, the space above the placement surface of the furniture can be utilized to prevent the wiring cables and the like stored in the wiring insertion space from being exposed at the front of the furniture. In the present invention, wiring cables and the like can be housed at the back of the partitioned area with a simple structure such as providing partitioned areas on the placement surface, and at least a part of the wiring insertion space is shielded from the front, thus preventing damage to the aesthetics and enhancing the design. Furthermore, this invention offers improved usability by designating the front-facing space, which is easily accessible to the user, as an item placement space, allowing items to be placed on it.

[0008] (2) In aspect 2 of the present invention, in the article placement structure of aspect 1, the partition portion is preferably a partition member that extends upward from the placement surface described above and divides the upper space in the front-to-back direction.

[0009] In this configured article placement structure, the upper space on the placement surface is partitioned in the front-to-back direction by a partition member, allowing a wiring insertion space to be provided behind the partition member. Therefore, wiring cables and the like can be stored using this wiring insertion space, preventing these cables from being exposed in front of the fixture.

[0010] (3) In the third aspect of the present invention, in the article placement structure of the second aspect, it is preferable that the partition member is provided with a first communication portion that connects the article placement space and the wiring insertion space.

[0026] The following describes an article placement structure and storage fixture according to one embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 10.

[0027] (First Embodiment) As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the article placement structure 1 is provided in a locker 100 (storage fixture) which has an internal space R (downward space) inside the fixture on which articles can be stored. The article placement structure 1 has a placement surface 20 on which articles can be placed.

[0028] In the following explanation, the XYZ coordinate system will be shown in each figure as a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. In the XYZ coordinate system, the X-axis direction is the vertical direction. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the floor surface F on which the locker 100 is placed, and may hereafter be referred to as the "up and down direction". The +X side is the upper side, and may hereafter simply be referred to as "up". The -X side is the lower side, and may hereafter simply be referred to as "down". The Z-axis direction is perpendicular to the Y-axis direction and is the left-right direction of the locker 100, and may hereafter be referred to as the "width direction". The +Z side is the "right side" of the locker 100. The -Z side is the "left side" of the locker 100. The Y-axis direction is perpendicular to the X-axis and Z-axis directions and is the "front-to-back direction" of the locker 100. The +Y side is the "front side (front)" of the locker 100. The -Y side is the "rear side (back)" of the locker 100.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the locker 100 has a locker storage body 10 equipped with multiple storage compartments 11 arranged vertically and horizontally. The storage compartments 11 consist of four large storage compartments 11A at the bottom and four small storage compartments 11B from the second to fifth (top) levels from the bottom. These storage compartments 11 are provided as a single unit and constitute the locker storage body 10. The locker storage body 10 is formed in a box shape as a whole. That is, the locker storage body 10 has a front wall 12, a rear wall 13, side walls 14, a bottom wall 15, and a top wall 16. Furthermore, the locker storage compartments 11 may not consist of large and small compartments, but may be composed entirely of storage compartments 11 of the same size.

[0030] The front wall 12 is provided with a single-leaf door 11a that opens and closes each of the multiple storage compartments 11. In other words, the front of the interior space R of the furniture is equipped with an openable and closable door 11a. The door 11a has an electronic locking device 50 that is electrically connected through the interior space R to a wiring cable 53 that is routed through the wiring insertion space 21. Here, the interior space R of the furniture corresponds to the interior space of each storage compartment 11.

[0031] The upper wall 16 constitutes a mounting member, which is part of the article mounting structure 1. That is, the furniture has an internal space R below the upper wall 16 that constitutes the mounting surface 20.

[0032] Side plates 17 are attached to the left and right side walls 14. The upper part 17a of the side plates 17 protrudes upward (towards the +X side) above the upper wall 16. The upper part 17a of the side plates 17 constitutes part of the article placement structure 1.

[0033] The locker 100 is equipped with the electronic locking device 50 described above. The locker 100 allows each storage compartment 11 to have its door 11a locked by the electronic locking device 50. The locking portion of each door 11a is provided with a locking device of the electronic locking device 50. That is, the lock of the door 11a is turned on and off by the user operating an operation panel (not shown). The locking devices provided in each storage compartment 11 are connected by wiring cables 53 to a power supply unit 52 housed in the item placement structure 1 on the upper side (+X side) of the locker 100, for example, via a hub device or relay device. The power supply unit 52 is powered by a wall outlet (not shown) or the like. Detailed explanations regarding the control method and operation of the control panel of the electronic locking device 50 will be omitted.

[0034] Next, we will explain the article placement structure 1 in detail. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the article placement structure 1 includes a partition member 30 (partition) that divides the space above the placement surface 20, which corresponds to the upper surface of the upper wall 16 of the locker storage body 10, in the front-to-back direction Y. The placement surface 20 has a wiring insertion space 21 on the rear side (-Y side) of the partition member 30 through which wiring can be inserted, and an article placement space 22 on the front side (+Y side) of the partition member 30 through which articles can be placed.

[0035] The partition member 30 is located slightly behind the center in the front-to-back direction Y (-Y side). The partition member 30 is plate-shaped, extends upward from the mounting surface 20, and extends in the left-to-right direction Z. The front surface 30a of the partition member 30 is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction Y. The wiring insertion space 21 on the rear side (-Y side) of the partition member 30 is a space that extends in the left-to-right direction Z, and its front is shielded by the partition member 30. Therefore, the wiring insertion space 21 is hidden from view by the partition member 30 when a person looks at the locker 100 from the front.

[0036] The lower end 30b of the partition member 30 is spaced apart from the mounting surface 20. A first connecting portion 30c is provided at the lower part of the partition member 30, which connects the article mounting space 22 (the gap space 23 described later) and the wiring insertion space 21.

[0037] The article placement space 22 is provided with an upper plate 31 that forms an upper surface 31a on which an article can be placed. The upper plate 31 has a gap space 23 between it and the placement surface 20. The lower surface 31b of the upper plate 31 is provided with a plurality of spacers 32 that are spaced apart in the left-right direction Z. The upper plate 31 is positioned with a gap space 23 between it and the placement surface 20 via the spacers 32.

[0038] The spacer 32 is a narrow plate member having a predetermined thickness and elongated in the front-to-back direction Y. The front end 32a of the spacer 32 is located behind (-Y side) the front wall 12 of the locker storage body 10. The rear end 32b of the spacer 32 coincides with the rear end of the top plate 31 and the position of the partition member 30. The spacing between adjacent spacers 32 in the left-to-right direction Z can be set arbitrarily. For example, they can be spaced apart to allow the partition member 30 and the top plate 31, which extend in the left-to-right direction Z, to be supported from below.

[0039] The front end 31c of the top plate 31 is set at the same position as the front wall 12 of the locker storage body 10. The front edge of the top plate 31 has a front end piece 31d that protrudes downward along its entire length in the left-right direction Z. The protruding height of the front end piece 31d is the same as the height of the spacer 32. The front end piece 31d abuts the mounting surface 20 from above. The top plate 31 is fixed with the front end piece 31d placed on the mounting surface 20 and resting on the spacer 32. The front end 32a of the spacer 32 is located away from the front end piece 31d to the rear (-Y side). Furthermore, a first communication portion 30c is formed between adjacent spacers 32 in the left-right direction Z on the lower side of the partition member 30.

[0040] The gap space 23 has a first gap space 23A that communicates in the left-right direction Z on the front side (+Y side) and a second gap space 23B between adjacent spacers 32 in the left-right direction Z on the rear side (-Y side) of the first gap space 23A. The first gap space 23A and the second gap space 23B are in communication with each other.

[0041] The mounting surface 20 is provided with a plurality of second connecting sections 20a that connect the gap space 23 of the article mounting space 22 with the internal space R of the locker storage unit 10. The second connecting sections 20a are formed at the location of the first gap space 23A on the mounting surface 20. A second connecting section 20a is provided for each storage compartment 11 arranged in the left-right direction Z. In other words, one second connecting section 20a is provided for each row in the vertical direction X of the small storage compartment 11B.

[0042] As shown in Figure 8, each second communication section 20a is provided within the side surface forming a plurality of storage compartments 11 arranged in the vertical direction X, and is connected to the upper end 18a of an upper and lower wiring path 18 extending in the vertical direction X. The upper and lower wiring path 18 communicates with the first gap space 23A via the second communication section 20a. For example, the wiring cable 53 in the first gap space 23A is routed into the upper and lower wiring path 18 via the second communication section 20a. The storage compartments 11 arranged in the vertical direction X are provided with a third communication section 11e that leads to the upper and lower wiring path 18. The wiring cable 53 routed into the upper and lower wiring path 18 is routed inside each storage compartment 11 via the third communication section 11e and is connected to a locking device, for example, in this embodiment.

[0043] The upper end 17b of the side plate 17 is set at the same height as the upper end of the partition member 30. Therefore, the wiring insertion space 21 and the article placement space 22 are closed off from the side by the upper part 17a of the side plate 17.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1, the article placement space 22 is provided with a fall prevention member 19 to prevent articles from falling. The fall prevention member 19 is a linear member extending in the left-right direction Z. The fall prevention member 19 connects the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates 17 and is positioned above the upper surface 31a of the top plate 31.

[0045] As shown in Figure 7, the power supply unit 52 for the electronic locking device 50 is placed in the wiring insertion space 21 of the item placement structure 1. The wiring cable 53 connected to the power supply unit 52 passes through the first communication section 30c between the partition member 30 and the placement surface 20 and is routed into the gap space 23. Furthermore, the wiring cable 53 in the gap space 23 is routed through the second communication section 20a into the upper and lower wiring path 18 of the internal space R of the furniture, and is further connected to a locking device (not shown) inside each storage compartment 11 through the third communication section 11e of each storage compartment 11. This electrically connects the locking device of each storage compartment 11 of the locker 100 to the power supply unit 52.

[0046] The wiring cables 53 that pass through the upper and lower wiring paths 18 inside the locker storage unit 10 are not exposed to the outside of the locker 100. Furthermore, the wiring cables 53 that are routed from the second communication section 20a onto the mounting surface 20 are routed through the gap space 23 located below the top plate 31 and through the wiring insertion space 21 on the rear side (-Y side) of the partition member 30, so that they are hidden from view by anyone looking at the front of the locker 100.

[0047] Thus, in this embodiment, there is a mounting surface 20 on which an article can be placed. The article mounting structure 1 includes a partition (partition member 30) that divides the space above the mounting surface 20 in the front-rear direction Y. The mounting surface 20 has a wiring insertion space 21 on the side behind the partition member 30 through which wiring can be inserted, and an article mounting space 22 on the side in front of the partition member 30 on which an article can be placed. At least a portion of the front of the wiring insertion space is shielded by the partition.

[0048] In the article placement structure 1 configured in this way, wiring cables 53 and the like can be routed and housed in the wiring insertion space 21, which tends to be dead space behind the partition member 30. Furthermore, by providing the partition member 30, the space above the placement surface 20 of the furniture can be utilized to prevent the wiring cables 53 and the like stored in the wiring insertion space 21 from being exposed in front of the furniture. Thus, in this embodiment, since the wiring cables 53 and the like can be housed behind the partition member 30 with a simple structure such as providing the partition member 30 on the placement surface 20, it is possible to prevent damage to the aesthetics and enhance the design.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the front space, which is easily accessible to the user, is designated as an item placement space 22, allowing items to be placed on it, thus improving usability.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the wiring insertion space 21 is open upwards, it is easier to work from above when performing wiring work or maintenance.

[0051] Furthermore, in the article placement structure 1 according to this embodiment, the partition is a partition member 30 that extends upward from the placement surface 20 and divides the upper space in the front-to-back direction.

[0052] In the article placement structure 1 configured in this way, the upper space on the placement surface 20 is partitioned in the front-to-back direction Y by the partition member 30, so that a wiring insertion space 21 can be provided behind the partition member 30. Therefore, wiring cables 53 and the like can be stored using the space of this wiring insertion space 21, and these wiring cables 53 and the like can be prevented from being exposed in front of the furniture.

[0053] Furthermore, in the article placement structure 1 according to this embodiment, the article placement space 22 is provided with a top plate 31 that forms an upper surface on which an article can be placed. There is a gap space 23 between the top plate 31 and the placement surface 20. The partition member 30 is provided with a first communication portion that connects the gap space 23 and the wiring insertion space 21. With this configuration, wiring cables 53 and the like inside the furniture are guided into the gap space 23 and can be guided from the gap space 23 to the wiring insertion space 21 through the first communication section.

[0054] Furthermore, in the article placement structure 1 according to this embodiment, there is a lower space below the placement portion that constitutes the placement surface 20. The placement surface 20 is provided with a second connecting portion that connects the article placement space 22 and the lower space. With this configuration, wiring cables 53 and the like inside the furniture can be guided from the internal space R of the furniture to the gap space 23 through the second communication section, and then guided from the gap space 23 to the wiring insertion space 21 through the first communication section.

[0055] Furthermore, this embodiment includes a side plate 17 that closes off at least the wiring insertion space 21 from the side. In the article placement structure 1 configured in this way, it is possible to prevent the wiring cables 53 and the like in the wiring insertion space 21 from being exposed on the side of the furniture.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the article placement space 22 is provided with a fall prevention member 19 to prevent articles from falling. In the article placement structure 1 configured in this way, the fall prevention member 19 can prevent articles placed in the article placement space 22 from falling in front of the fixture.

[0057] (Second Embodiment) As shown in Figure 9, the article placement structure 1A according to the second embodiment is not installed on the top shelf of the storage unit as in the first embodiment described above, but is installed on the intermediate shelf 41. The storage shelf 40 (storage fixture) of the second embodiment is an open rack with open sides on the front, back, left, and right. The storage shelf 40 is provided with multiple intermediate shelves 41 (41A, 41B, 41C) in multiple tiers (3 tiers in Figure 9). Of the three intermediate shelves 41 arranged in the vertical direction X, the middle intermediate shelf 41B and the lower intermediate shelf 41C are provided with an item placement structure 1A. The configuration of the item placement structure 1A is the same as that of the first embodiment described above.

[0058] The article placement structure 1A includes a partition member 42 (partition) that divides the space above the placement surface 41a, which corresponds to the upper surface of the intermediate shelf 41, in the front-to-back direction Y. The placement surface 41a has a wiring insertion space 43 on the rear side (-Y side) of the partition member 42 through which wiring can be inserted, and an article placement space 44 on the front side (+Y side) of the partition member 42 through which articles can be placed.

[0059] The partition member 42 is located slightly behind the center in the front-to-back direction Y (-Y side). The partition member 42 is plate-shaped, extending upward from the mounting surface 41a and extending in the left-to-right direction Z. The front surface 42a of the partition member 42 is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction Y. The wiring insertion space 43 on the rear side (-Y side) of the partition member 42 is a space that extends in the left-to-right direction Z, and its front is shielded by the partition member 42. Therefore, the wiring insertion space 43 is hidden from view by the partition member 42 when a person looks at the storage shelf 40 from the front.

[0060] The lower end 42b of the partition member 42 is spaced apart from the mounting surface 41a. A first connecting portion 42c is provided at the lower part of the partition member 42, which connects the article mounting space 44 (a gap space 45 described later) and the wiring insertion space 43.

[0061] The article placement space 44 is provided with an upper plate 46 that forms an upper surface 46a on which an article can be placed. The upper plate 46 has a gap space 45 between it and the placement surface 41a. Multiple spacers 47 are provided on the lower surface of the upper plate 46, spaced apart in the left-right direction Z. The upper plate 46 is positioned with a gap space 45 between it and the placement surface 41a via the spacers 47.

[0062] (Third embodiment) As shown in Figure 10, the article placement structure 1B according to the third embodiment omits the partition member 30 in the first embodiment described above and is configured with a stepped portion 60 (partition). The stepped portion 60 is formed between the upper plate 31 provided on the front side (+Y side) of the placement surface 20 and the rear side (-Y side) of the placement surface 20, and the rear side (-Y side) is lower than the upper surface 31a of the upper plate 31. That is, the area above the upper plate 31 on the front side (+Y side), with the stepped portion 60 in between, is the article placement space 22, and the area above the placement surface 20 on the rear side (-Y side) is the wiring insertion space 21. In the article placement structure 1B, at least a portion of the front of the wiring insertion space 21 is shielded by the stepped portion 60.

[0063] In the third embodiment, wiring cables 53 and the like can be routed and housed in the wiring insertion space 21, which tends to be dead space at the back of the stepped portion 60. Furthermore, by providing a partition in the stepped portion 60, the space above the mounting surface 20 of the fixture can be utilized to prevent the wiring cables 53 and the like housed in the wiring insertion space 21 from being exposed in front of the fixture. Thus, in this embodiment, the wiring cables 53 and the like can be housed at the back of the stepped portion 60 with a simple structure such as providing a stepped portion 60 on the mounting surface 20, and at least a part of the wiring insertion space 21 is shielded from the front, thus preventing damage to the aesthetics and enhancing the design.

[0064] It should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0065] For example, in the embodiment shown above, the partitioned portion is a partition member 30 or a stepped portion 60 that extends upward from the mounting surface 20 and divides the upper space in the front-to-back direction, but it is not limited to this.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the structure includes a top plate 31 that forms an upper surface 31a on which an article can be placed in the article placement space 22, but it is also possible to omit the top plate 31.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the article placement structure 1 is configured to include a first connecting portion 30c and a second connecting portion 20a, but the configuration is not limited to providing these connecting portions 20a and 30c.

[0068] Furthermore, in this first embodiment, the configuration includes a side plate 17 that closes the wiring insertion space 21 from the side, but the configuration is not limited to providing such a side plate 17.

[0069] Furthermore, the provision of a fall prevention member 19 in the item placement space 22 to prevent items from falling is not limited to this; it may be omitted, or a configuration with a fall prevention member of a different shape may be provided.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an article placement structure is provided in a single locker storage unit.
