Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage tray and a cabinet including the storage tray.

Background Art

[0002] There is known a cabinet (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "grooved cabinet") in which a plurality of opposing grooves facing each other in the width direction of the storage space are provided at intervals in the height direction of the storage space. Further, there is also known a storage tray provided with a pair of groove insertion portions that are detachably fitted into an arbitrary opposing groove of the grooved cabinet. By fitting the groove insertion portion into the opposing groove at an arbitrary height, the user can adjust the height of the storage tray in the storage space.

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes a storage tray on which an attachment for inclining a placement surface of stored items is placed. Patent Document 2 describes a grooved cabinet having an opposing groove that slopes downward in the height direction, and a storage tray having a groove insertion portion inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom plate surface, and by inserting it upside down, the inclination angle of the bottom plate surface can be changed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The storage tray described in Patent Document 1 requires the placement of a separate attachment to tilt the mounting surface. As a result, the storage tray described in Patent Document 1 has a large number of parts, leading to high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when using the aforementioned mounting surface in a horizontal position, the attachment must be stored separately. And when tilting the aforementioned mounting surface that is currently being used horizontally, the separately stored attachment must be prepared. Therefore, the storage tray described in Patent Document 1 makes the process of switching between horizontal and tilted mounting surfaces cumbersome.

[0006] The storage tray described in Patent Document 2 is applicable to grooved cabinets having inclined opposing grooves. In typical grooved cabinets, the opposing grooves are arranged approximately horizontally. Therefore, the storage tray described in Patent Document 2 has limited applicability to grooved cabinets and lacks versatility. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A storage tray according to one aspect of the present invention is a storage tray that is mounted in one of a plurality of opposing grooves provided substantially horizontally at intervals in the height direction on opposing walls constituting a storage space, and comprises a tray body that fits into the storage space, a first pair of protrusions protruding from both ends of the tray body in the left-right direction, and a second pair of protrusions protruding from both ends of the tray body in the left-right direction and provided at a position away from the first pair of protrusions in the front-rear direction, and the mounting state that the user can select includes the following first state and second state. First state: The opposing groove into which the first pair of projections fits and the opposing groove into which the second pair of projections fits are the same. Second state: The opposing grooves into which the first pair of projections fit and the opposing grooves into which the second pair of projections fit are in different states. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage tray that has reduced manufacturing costs, allows for easy modification of its mounting state in the storage space, and offers excellent versatility, as well as a cabinet equipped with the storage tray.

[0035] <Details of Embodiments of the Invention> The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. At least some of the embodiments described below may be combined in any way.

[0036] [Washbasin vanity] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vanity unit 1. As shown in Figure 1, the vanity unit 1 comprises an upper cabinet 10, a washbasin 70, a faucet 80, and a lower cabinet 90. The upper cabinet 10 is a cabinet with a mirror. As will be described later, the upper cabinet 10 is a cabinet having multiple opposing grooves that are spaced vertically apart and provided substantially horizontally on the opposing walls that constitute its storage space. The washbasin 70, faucet 80, and lower cabinet 90 are not particularly limited as long as they are applicable to a vanity unit.

[0037] [Upper Cabinet] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the upper cabinet 10. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the upper cabinet 10 with the mirrored door 170 removed. The double arrows in Figures 2 and 3 indicate the width, height, and depth directions of the upper cabinet 10, respectively. Figure 4 is a front view of the upper cabinet 10 with the mirrored door 170 removed. The double arrows in Figure 4 indicate the width and height directions of the upper cabinet 10, respectively.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2, the upper cabinet 10 comprises a cabinet body 100 and a mirrored door 170. Users of the upper cabinet 10 can access the storage space of the cabinet body 100, which will be described later, by opening the mirrored door 170. The mirrored door 170 includes a first mirrored door 170a, a second mirrored door 170b, and a third mirrored door 170c. The first mirrored door 170a, the second mirrored door 170b, and the third mirrored door 170c are arranged side by side in the width direction on the front of the cabinet body 100. The first mirrored door 170a is located on the left side in the width direction of the upper cabinet 10. The second mirrored door 170b is located on the right side in the width direction of the upper cabinet 10. The third mirrored door 170c is located in the center in the width direction of the upper cabinet 10, between the first mirrored door 170a and the second mirrored door 170b. In the upper cabinet 10, the third mirrored door 170c has a larger mirrored surface than the first mirrored door 170a and the second mirrored door 170b. The first mirrored door 170a and the second mirrored door 170b have mirrored surfaces of the same size.

[0039] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the cabinet body 100 has a first storage space SS1, a second storage space SS2, a third storage space SS3, a fourth storage space SS4, and a fifth storage space SS5. The user can access the first storage space SS1 by opening the first mirrored door 170a. The user can access the second storage space SS2 by opening the second mirrored door 170b. The user can access the third storage space SS3, the fourth storage space SS4, and the fifth storage space SS5 by opening the third mirrored door 170c.

[0040] The first storage space SS1 has a plurality of first opposing grooves 110 provided substantially horizontally at intervals in the height direction on the first opposing wall 130. The first opposing grooves 110 consist of a first left groove 110L and a first right groove 110R. The first left groove 110L and the first right groove 110R are provided so as to face each other in the width direction. Similarly, the second storage space SS2 has a plurality of second opposing grooves 120 provided substantially horizontally at intervals in the height direction on the second opposing wall 140. The second opposing grooves 120 consist of a second left groove 120L and a second right groove 120R. The second left groove 120L and the second right groove 120R are provided so as to face each other in the width direction. In the upper cabinet 10, opposing grooves are not provided on the third opposing wall 150 of the third storage space SS3, the fourth opposing wall 151 of the fourth storage space SS4, and the fifth opposing wall 152 of the fifth storage space SS5. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the third storage space SS3, the fourth storage space SS4, and the fifth storage space SS5 are configured to allow items to be placed directly on top of each other, and anti-tipping bars are provided on the underside of each storage space.

[0041] In the upper cabinet 10, the first opposing groove 110 of the first storage space SS1 and the second opposing groove 120 of the second storage space SS2 have the same configuration. Therefore, a common storage tray 20 can be attached to the first opposing groove 110 of the first storage space SS1 and the second opposing groove 120 of the second storage space SS2. Figures 3 and 4 show an example in which one storage tray 20 is attached to the first storage space SS1 and three storage trays 20 are attached to the second storage space SS2. Hereinafter, the attachment state of the storage tray 20 in this embodiment will be described mainly with regard to the attachment of the storage tray 20 to the first storage space SS1.

[0042] [Installing the storage tray into the opposing groove] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the installation of the storage tray 20 into the first opposing groove 110 of the first storage space SS1. As shown in Figure 5, the storage tray 20 comprises a tray body (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "tray body") including a front plate portion 21, a bottom plate portion 22, and side plate portions 23. The front plate portion 21 is connected substantially perpendicularly to the bottom plate portion 22. The front plate portion 21 and the bottom plate portion 22 are connected in an L-shape. The side plate portion 23 is provided with a first pair of protrusions 24 and a second pair of protrusions 25. In Figure 5, the wires extending from the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 indicate the first opposing groove 110 into which the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 can be fitted. The first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are cylindrical protrusions, each of which can be fitted into the first opposing groove 110. The first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 on the storage tray 20 are roughly cylindrical in shape.

[0043] In the upper cabinet 10, the storage tray 20 is configured such that the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 can be fitted into the same first opposing groove 110 as the first opposing groove 110 into which the other fits, or into an adjacent first opposing groove 110. This allows the user of the upper cabinet 10 to install the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1 in theoretically eight different patterns. Therefore, the upper cabinet 10 equipped with the storage tray 20 improves the usability of the storage space. The above patterns will be described later.

[0044] [Storage tray] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the storage tray 20. The double arrows in Figure 6 indicate the left-right, up-down, and front-back directions of the storage tray 20, respectively. As shown in Figure 6, on the side plate portion 23, the first pair of protrusions 24 is located in front of the second pair of protrusions 25. The first pair of protrusions 24 consists of a left first pair of protrusions 24L provided on the left side plate portion 23L and a right first pair of protrusions 24R provided on the right side plate portion 23R. The left first pair of protrusions 24L and the right first pair of protrusions 24R are provided on the side plate portion 23 so as to face each other in the left-right direction. The second pair of protrusions 25 consists of a left second pair of protrusions 25L provided on the left side plate portion 23L and a right second pair of protrusions 25R provided on the right side plate portion 23R. The left second pair of protrusions 25L and the right second pair of protrusions 25R are provided on the side plate portion 23 so as to face each other in the left-right direction.

[0045] The storage tray 20 is made of a light-transmitting material. Examples of light-transmitting materials include acrylic resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, polycarbonate resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, and acrylonitrile styrene resin. From the viewpoint of balancing moldability, chemical resistance, scratch resistance, tensile strength, impact resistance, and cost, acrylonitrile styrene resin is preferred as the light-transmitting material. By making the storage tray 20 of a light-transmitting material, the visibility of the stored items placed on the storage tray 20 is improved.

[0046] [Storage tray mounting patterns] Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the first mounting pattern of the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1. Figure 8 is a reference diagram showing the usage state in the first mounting pattern. Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the second mounting pattern of the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1. Figure 10 is a reference diagram showing the usage state in the second mounting pattern. Figure 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the third mounting pattern of the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1. Figure 12 is a reference diagram showing the usage state in the third mounting pattern. Figure 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the fourth mounting pattern of the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1. Figure 14 is a reference diagram showing the usage state in the fourth mounting pattern. Figure 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the fifth mounting pattern of the storage tray 20 in the first storage space SS1. Figure 16 is a reference diagram showing the usage state in the fifth mounting pattern.

[0047] In Figures 7-16, the double-headed arrows indicate the width, height, and depth directions of the upper cabinet 10, and the left-right, up-down, and front-back directions of the storage tray 20, respectively. Figures 7-16 show an example of how the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first opposing groove 110 of the first storage space SS1. Therefore, the double-headed arrows in Figures 7-16 indicating the width, height, and depth directions of the upper cabinet 10 also indicate the width, height, and depth directions of the first storage space SS1. Note that the mounting pattern for the storage tray 20 in the second opposing groove 120 of the second storage space SS2 is the same as the mounting pattern for the storage tray 20 in the first opposing groove 110 of the first storage space SS1, so its explanation is omitted.

[0048] As described above, the first pair of projections 24 and the second pair of projections 25 of the storage tray 20 are cylindrical projections and can be fitted into the same first opposing groove 110 as the first opposing groove 110 into which the other fits, or into an adjacent first opposing groove 110. Therefore, the user can select the following first state and second state as the mounting state of the storage tray 20. First state: The first opposing groove 110 into which the first pair of projections 24 fits and the first opposing groove 110 into which the second pair of projections 25 fits are the same. Second state: The first opposing groove 110 into which the first pair of projections 24 are fitted and the opposing groove into which the second pair of projections 25 are fitted are in different states.

[0049] Specific examples of the first state include the first mounting pattern shown in Figures 7 and 8, the second mounting pattern shown in Figures 9 and 10, and the third mounting pattern shown in Figures 11 and 12. Specific examples of the second state include the fourth mounting pattern shown in Figures 13 and 14, and the fifth mounting pattern shown in Figures 15 and 16.

[0050] Furthermore, the user can select the following third and fourth states as the mounting state of the storage tray 20. Third state: The tray body is inverted vertically relative to the height of the first storage space SS1. Fourth state: A state in which the front-to-back direction of the tray body is reversed with respect to the depth direction of the first storage space SS1.

[0051] The third state, in other words, is the state in which the back surface 22b of the bottom plate portion 22 faces upward when the storage tray 20 is installed in the first storage space SS1. Specific examples of the third state include the third installation pattern shown in Figures 11 and 12. Conversely, an installation state that is not the third state is the state in which the front surface 22a of the bottom plate portion 22 faces upward when the first storage space SS1 is installed. Specific examples of non-third states include the first installation pattern shown in Figures 7 and 8, the second installation pattern shown in Figures 9 and 10, the fourth installation pattern shown in Figures 13 and 14, and the fifth installation pattern shown in Figures 15 and 16.

[0052] The fourth state, in other words, is the state in which the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces the rear side of the first storage space SS1 when the storage tray 20 is installed in the first storage space SS1. Specific examples of the fourth state include the second installation pattern shown in Figures 9 and 10, and the fifth installation pattern shown in Figures 15 and 16. Conversely, an installation state that is not the fourth state is the state in which the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces the front side of the first storage space SS1. Specific examples of states that are not the fourth state include the first installation pattern shown in Figures 7 and 8, the third installation pattern shown in Figures 11 and 12, and the fourth installation pattern shown in Figures 13 and 14.

[0053] The storage tray 20 can theoretically be installed in the first storage space SS1 in eight different installation patterns, as shown in Table 1, depending on the combination of installation configurations. Thus, the storage tray 20 offers excellent flexibility in its installation configuration within the first storage space SS1. Therefore, the upper cabinet 10 equipped with the storage tray 20 offers improved usability.

[0054] [Table 1]

[0055] (First mounting pattern) As shown in Figure 7, in the first mounting pattern, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first opposing groove 110b. Also, the right first pair of protrusions 24R and the right second pair of protrusions 25R of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first right groove 110Rb. Furthermore, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the second pair of protrusions 25 is positioned behind the first storage space SS1 compared to the first pair of protrusions 24. As a result, in the first mounting pattern, as shown in Figure 8, the surface 22a of the bottom plate portion 22 of the storage tray 20 faces upward towards the first storage space SS1. Also, the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces forward towards the first storage space SS1. In other words, in the first mounting pattern, the first state is adopted as shown in Table 1.

[0056] As shown in Figure 8, in the first mounting pattern, the stored item GOR is placed on the surface 22a of the horizontal bottom plate 22. The front plate 21 functions as a stopper to prevent the stored item GOR from tipping over. The first mounting pattern is a typical mounting pattern also used in conventional storage trays.

[0057] (Second mounting pattern) As shown in Figure 9, in the second mounting pattern, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first opposing groove 110b. Also, the left first pair of protrusions 24L and the left second pair of protrusions 25L of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first right groove 110Rb. Furthermore, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the first pair of protrusions 24 is positioned behind the first storage space SS1 compared to the second pair of protrusions 25. As a result, in the second mounting pattern, as shown in Figure 10, the surface 22a of the bottom plate portion 22 of the storage tray 20 faces upward towards the first storage space SS1. Also, the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces backward towards the first storage space SS1. In other words, in the second mounting pattern, the first state and the fourth state are adopted as shown in Table 1.

[0058] As shown in Figure 10, in the second mounting pattern, the stored item GOR is placed on the surface 22a of the horizontal bottom plate 22, just as in the first mounting pattern. On the other hand, in the second mounting pattern, the front plate 21 is positioned at the rear of the first storage space SS1. Therefore, the front plate 21 does not function as a stopper for the stored item GOR to tip over. In other words, the front plate 21 does not get in the way when the user removes the stored item GOR placed on the storage tray 20. In particular, when the storage tray 20 is mounted at a high position above the first storage space SS1, the second mounting pattern is preferable from the viewpoint of removing the stored item GOR.

[0059] (Third mounting pattern) As shown in Figure 11, in the third mounting pattern, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first opposing groove 110b. Also, the left first pair of protrusions 24L and the left second pair of protrusions 25L of the storage tray 20 are both fitted into the first right groove 110Rb. Furthermore, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the second pair of protrusions 25 is positioned behind the first storage space SS1 compared to the first pair of protrusions 24. As a result, in the third mounting pattern, as shown in Figure 12, the back surface 22b of the bottom plate portion 22 of the storage tray 20 faces upward towards the first storage space SS1. Also, the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces forward towards the first storage space SS1. In other words, the third mounting pattern employs the first state and the third state, as shown in Table 1.

[0060] As shown in Figure 12, in the third mounting pattern, the stored item GOR is placed on the back surface 22b of the horizontal bottom plate 22. In the storage tray 20, the front plate 21 does not function as a stopper for the stored item GOR placed on the back surface 22b. Therefore, in the third mounting pattern, just like the second mounting pattern, the front plate 21 does not obstruct the user when removing the stored item GOR placed on the storage tray 20. Here, Figure 12 shows an example of use in which the top of the tissue box, which is the stored item GOR, placed on the storage tray 20 mounted in the first mounting pattern, is pressed down by the front plate 21 of the storage tray 20 mounted in the third mounting pattern. As a result, even if the tissue box moves to the front side of the first storage space SS1 when a tissue is pulled out of the tissue box, both the top and bottom of the tissue box are pressed down by the front plate 21. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tissue box stored in the first storage space SS1 from falling from the upper cabinet 10. In addition, the user can pull out tissues from the tissue box with one hand without having to hold the tissue box down. In this way, the user can use multiple storage trays 20 to modify the usage of the first storage space SS1 according to the stored items GOR.

[0061] (Fourth mounting pattern) As shown in Figure 13, in the fourth mounting pattern, the first pair of protrusions 24 of the storage tray 20 engages with the first opposing groove 110b, and the second pair of protrusions 25 engages with the first opposing groove 110a, which is adjacent to the first opposing groove 110b in the height direction of the first storage space SS1. In addition, the right first pair of protrusions 24R of the storage tray 20 engages with the first right groove 110Rb, and the right second pair of protrusions 25R engages with the first right groove 110Ra. Furthermore, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the second pair of protrusions 25 is positioned behind the first storage space SS1 compared to the first pair of protrusions 24. As a result, in the fourth mounting pattern, the surface 22a of the bottom plate portion 22 of the storage tray 20 faces upward towards the first storage space SS1, as shown in Figure 14. Furthermore, the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces the front side of the first storage space SS1. In other words, in the fourth mounting pattern, the second state is adopted, as shown in Table 1.

[0062] In Figure 13, the first distance FDT represents the distance from the first pair of protrusions 24 to the second pair of protrusions 25. The second distance SDT represents the distance between the first opposing groove 110a and the first opposing groove 110b. The first opposing grooves 110a, 110b, and 110c are provided at the same interval in the height direction of the first storage space SS1. The first distance FDT is longer than the second distance SDT. As a result, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 can be fitted into a first opposing groove 110 different from the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits. In Figure 13, the first distance FDT is approximately 1.3 times the length of the second distance SDT. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in Figure 13, the first pair of projections 24 and the second pair of projections 25 can each be fitted into a first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, and into a first opposing groove 110 adjacent to one in the height direction.

[0063] The first distance FDT is not particularly limited, as long as it is longer than the second distance SDT, so that the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 can each be fitted into the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, and into at least the first opposing groove 110 adjacent in the height direction. For example, by making the second distance SDT shorter, the upper cabinet 10 can be configured so that the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 can each be fitted into a first opposing groove 110 other than the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, and into a first opposing groove 110 different from the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, in addition to the first opposing groove 110 adjacent in the height direction. It is preferable that the first distance FDT be between 1.02 and 2.3 times the length of the second distance SDT. This allows the inclination of the tray body to be appropriately changed while ensuring an appropriate inclination angle of the bottom plate portion 22 in the second state.

[0064] As shown in Figure 14, in the fourth mounting pattern, the stored item GOR is placed on the front plate 21 so as to lean against the bottom plate 22 with the rear side of the first storage space facing outwards. As a result, the stored item GOR placed on the storage tray 20 is displayed at the front of the first storage space SS1. This improves the visibility of the stored item GOR and enhances the convenience of retrieving the stored item GOR.

[0065] (Fifth mounting pattern) As shown in Figure 15, in the fifth mounting pattern, the first pair of protrusions 24 of the storage tray 20 fits into the first opposing groove 110b, and the second pair of protrusions 25 fits into the first opposing groove 110a, which is adjacent to the first opposing groove 110b in the height direction of the first storage space SS1. In addition, the left first pair of protrusions 24L of the storage tray 20 fits into the first right groove 110Rb, and the left second pair of protrusions 25L fits into the first right groove 110Ra. Furthermore, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the first pair of protrusions 24 is positioned further back in the first storage space SS1 than the second pair of protrusions 25. As a result, as shown in Figure 16, the surface 22a of the bottom plate portion 22 faces upward towards the first storage space SS1. Also, the surface 21a of the front plate portion 21 faces backward towards the first storage space SS1. In other words, in the fifth mounting pattern, the second and fourth states are adopted, as shown in Table 1. Note that the first distance FDT and the second distance SDT are the same as those explained in the fourth mounting pattern above, so their explanation is omitted.

[0066] As shown in Figure 16, in the fifth mounting pattern, the storage GOR is stored in the space enclosed by the bottom plate 22, the front plate 21, and the walls of the first storage space. As a result, the storage volume of the storage GOR is increased. Also, as shown in Figure 16, in the fifth mounting pattern, long and slender storage GOR such as makeup brushes and mascara can be placed on the storage tray 20 with their tips protruding from the front of the first storage space. As a result, the convenience of removing long and slender storage GOR is improved.

[0067] (6th mounting pattern) In the sixth mounting pattern, the front plate portion 21 shown in Figures 11 and 12, which illustrate the third mounting pattern described above, is positioned at the rear of the first storage space SS1 (not shown). In Figure 12, for example, if the stored item GOR, a tissue box, is replaced with a spray can, the front plate portion 21, which holds down the top of the tissue box, becomes an obstacle to removing the spray can. In this case, the above obstacle can be resolved by changing the storage tray 20 of the third mounting pattern to the sixth mounting pattern. In this way, the user can use multiple storage trays 20 to modify the usage of the first storage space SS1 according to the stored item GOR.

[0068] (Installation pattern 7, Installation pattern 8) If the seventh or eighth mounting pattern is applied to the storage tray 20, there is a risk that the stored GOR may fall out of the storage tray 20. However, this does not mean that the mounting patterns for the storage tray of the present invention are limited to the first to sixth mounting patterns. For example, the seventh mounting pattern can be applied to the storage tray 2200 described later. Also, the eighth mounting pattern can be applied to the storage tray 2300 described later.

[0069] [Variations in the spacing between opposing grooves] Figure 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the mounting of a storage tray 20 to the first opposing grooves 110 in a modified example in which the spacing between multiple first opposing grooves 110 in the first storage space SS1 is shortened. In the first storage space SS1 shown in Figure 17, a first opposing groove 110d is provided between the first opposing groove 110a and the first opposing groove 110b. Also, a first opposing groove 110e is provided between the first opposing groove 110b and the first opposing groove 110c. That is, the second distance SDT in Figure 17 is half the length of the second distance SDT in Figures 13 and 15. Note that the first distance FDT in Figure 17 is the same as the first distance FDT in Figures 13 and 15. Therefore, in Figure 17, the first distance FDT is approximately 2.3 times the length of the second distance SDT.

[0070] As described above, in Figure 17, since the first distance FDT is approximately 2.3 times the length of the second distance SDT, the first pair of projections 24 and the second pair of projections 25 can be fitted into the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, and into the first opposing groove 110 adjacent in the height direction to the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "adjacent first opposing groove 110"), as well as into the first opposing groove 110 adjacent in the height direction to the adjacent first opposing groove 110. Figure 17 shows a storage tray 20 mounted on the upper side and a storage tray 20 mounted on the lower side in the height direction of the first storage space SS1. In the storage tray 20 mounted on the upper side, the first pair of projections 24 fits into the first opposing groove 110b, and the second pair of projections 25 fits into the first opposing groove 110a.

[0071] In the first storage space SS1 shown in Figure 17, a first opposing groove 110d is provided between the first opposing groove 110a and the first opposing groove 110b. Therefore, in the case of the storage tray 20 mounted on the upper side, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are fitted into the adjacent first opposing groove 110 and the first opposing groove 110 that is adjacent in the height direction. In the case of the storage tray 20 mounted on the lower side, the first pair of protrusions 24 is fitted into the first opposing groove 110c and the second pair of protrusions 25 is fitted into the first opposing groove 110e. In the first storage space SS1 shown in Figure 17, the first opposing groove 110c and the first opposing groove 110e are adjacent in the height direction. Therefore, in the case of the storage tray 20 attached to the lower side, the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are fitted into the first opposing groove 110 into which one of them fits, and into the first opposing groove 110 adjacent to it in the height direction.

[0072] Figure 17 shows two inclination states of the storage tray 20, where the first pair of protrusions 25 is fitted into the first opposing groove 110 located above the first pair of protrusions 24. The storage tray 20 can also be inclined to a horizontal position by fitting the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 into the same first opposing groove 110. The storage tray 20 can also be inclined to a horizontal position by fitting the first pair of protrusions 24 into the first opposing groove 110 located above the first pair of protrusions 25. In other words, if we define the horizontal inclination state as a 0° inclination and the inclination angle when the first pair of protrusions 25 is fitted into the first opposing groove 110 located above the first pair of protrusions 24 as a + inclination, then in the first storage space SS1 shown in Figure 17, the user can change the inclination angle of the bottom plate 22 of the storage tray 20 mounted in the first opposing groove 110 to five levels: 0° inclination, two levels of + inclination, and two levels of - inclination. Furthermore, by making the first distance FDT longer and the second distance SDT shorter, the variations in the inclination angle of the base plate 22, which can be changed by the user, can be further increased.

[0073] [Modification of a pair of protrusions] (Pair of elliptical columnar projections) Figure 18 is a right side view of the storage tray 2000 having an elliptical cylindrical second pair of protrusions 251. Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the state of the storage tray 2000 in the first mounting pattern. Figure 20 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the state of the storage tray 2000 in the fourth mounting pattern. Length D1 indicates the diameter of the first pair of protrusions 24 and the length of the major axis of the second pair of protrusions 251. Length D2 indicates the length of the minor axis of the second pair of protrusions 251. Groove width GW indicates the width of the first opposing groove 110. Gap GAP indicates the gap between the second pair of protrusions 251 and the first opposing groove 110 in the state of the storage tray 2000 in the fourth mounting pattern.

[0074] As shown in Figure 18, the storage tray 2000 employs an elliptical second protrusion pair 251 instead of the approximately cylindrical second protrusion pair 25 of the storage tray 20. The length D1 is approximately the same as the groove width GW. More specifically, the length D1 is 0.9 to 1 times the groove width GW, preferably 0.92 to 0.98 times. Therefore, as shown in Figure 19, in the state of the first mounting pattern, the storage tray 2000 has almost no play between the first protrusion pair 24 and the first opposing groove 110, and between the second protrusion pair 251 and the first opposing groove 110. This suppresses vertical rattling in the storage tray 2000 in the first mounting pattern.

[0075] In the storage tray 20, both the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are approximately cylindrical. Therefore, when installing the storage tray 20, there is almost no play between the first pair of protrusions 24 and the first opposing groove 110, and between the second pair of protrusions 25 and the first opposing groove 110. As a result, if the second state is selected as the installation state, resistance may occur when installing the storage tray 20 due to dimensional tolerances in the height spacing of the multiple first opposing grooves 110. On the other hand, the storage tray 2000 employs an elliptical cylindrical second pair of protrusions 251. As a result, when the second state is selected as the installation state, a gap GAP is created between the second pair of protrusions 251 and the first opposing groove 110a, as shown in Figure 20. Therefore, the storage tray 2000 can be installed more smoothly in the second state than the storage tray 20. The storage tray 2000 also has an approximately cylindrical first pair of protrusions 24. Therefore, as shown in Figure 20, there is almost no play between the first pair of protrusions 24 and the first opposing groove 110b. Thus, vertical rattling in the storage tray 2000 when the second state is selected as the mounting state is suppressed.

[0076] In the storage tray 2000, an elliptical second pair of protrusions 251 is used instead of a roughly cylindrical second pair of protrusions 25, but the configuration of the storage tray of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first pair of protrusions 24 of the storage tray 20 can be changed to elliptical protrusions. Alternatively, both the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 of the storage tray 20 can be changed to elliptical protrusions. From the viewpoint of suppressing vertical rattling of the storage tray after installation, it is preferable that either the first pair of protrusions or the second pair of protrusions in the storage tray of the present invention be an elliptical protrusion. The ellipticity (=length D2 / length D1) of the elliptical protrusions applied to the storage tray of the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 0.4 or more and 0.9 or less. If the ellipticity is 0.4 or more, the strength of the elliptical protrusions is ensured. If the ellipticity is 0.9 or less, a gap GAP is ensured between the pair of protrusions and the opposing groove when installed in the second state.

[0077] (A pair of rounded rectangular columnar projections) Figure 21 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the state of the fourth mounting pattern of the storage tray 2010, which has a second pair of rounded rectangular columnar protrusions 252. The storage tray 2010 has the same configuration as the storage tray 2000, except that it has a second pair of rounded rectangular columnar protrusions 252. The second pair of rounded rectangular columnar protrusions 252, like the second pair of elliptical columnar protrusions 251, has a major axis length and a minor axis length of length D1 and length D2, respectively. Therefore, just like the second pair of protrusions 251, when the second state is selected as the mounting state, a gap GAP is created between the second pair of protrusions 252 and the first opposing groove 110a, allowing for smooth mounting.

[0078] In this embodiment, examples of projection pair shapes include a regular cylindrical shape, an elliptical cylindrical shape, and a rounded rectangular cylindrical shape. However, the shape of the projection pair in the present invention can be any oval cylindrical shape. An oval cylindrical shape refers to a column with an oval cross-section. An oval shape is a shape that has the following characteristics: it is a differentiable (smooth) curve, it is a closed, non-intersecting curve on a plane, and it has at least one symmetrical part. It includes circular, rounded rectangular, and egg shapes. Oval cylindrical projection pairs do not have corners that come into contact with each other when fitted into opposing grooves. Therefore, the storage tray can be smoothly mounted into the opposing grooves.

[0079] [Different examples of both sides of the tray body] Figure 22 is a schematic plan view showing the state of a storage tray 2100 having a roughly hexagonal bottom plate portion 221, installed in the first storage space SS1 in a first mounting pattern. Figure 23 is a schematic plan view showing the state of a storage tray 2110 having a protrusion 300 at the intermediate position on both sides, installed in the first storage space SS1 in a first mounting pattern. Figure 24 is a schematic plan view showing the state of a storage tray 2120 having a roughly trapezoidal bottom plate portion 222, installed in the first storage space SS1 in a first mounting pattern. The proximity area PXA indicates the area where the first opposing wall 130 of the first storage space SS1 and both sides of the tray body are in close proximity. The width ROW indicates the width between the first opposing walls 130 at the rearmost part of the storage tray installed in the first storage space SS1. The width FOW indicates the width between the first opposing walls 130 at the frontmost part of the storage tray installed in the first storage space SS1. The width MBW indicates the width of the tray body at the midpoint in the front-to-back direction of the storage tray.

[0080] Components including the storage space of a cabinet may be formed using a mold. When forming a storage space using a mold, the opposing walls of the storage space may be given an inclination due to a draft angle. The first storage space SS1 is configured such that the width between the first opposing walls 130 gradually widens from the rear to the front in the depth direction due to the draft angle. Therefore, as shown in Figures 22 to 25, the width FOW is wider than the width ROW. More specifically, each of the first opposing walls 130 has an inclination of approximately 2 degrees with respect to the depth direction. The inclination angle of opposing walls with respect to the depth direction given by a typical draft angle is between 1 degree and 3 degrees.

[0081] The storage tray 20 described above has a bottom plate portion 22 that is roughly square in plan view. Note that the "roughly" in roughly hexagonal, roughly trapezoidal, and roughly square includes cases where the corners are rounded. The user can select a fourth mounting state for the storage tray 20. In order to enable the selection of the fourth mounting state, the storage tray 20 is configured such that its width in the left-right direction is slightly narrower than the width ROW. Here, "slightly narrower" refers to a width of 0.95 times or more and 0.99 times or less of the width ROW. As a result, when the storage tray 20 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, the gap between the side plate portion 23 and the first opposing wall 130 gradually widens as it moves towards the front in the depth direction of the first storage space SS1. Consequently, the storage tray 20 mounted in the first storage space SS1 will wobble in the left-right direction.

[0082] (Storage tray 2100) As shown in Figure 22, when the storage tray 2100 is installed in the first storage space SS1, a proximity area PXA is created from the rearmost part in the depth direction of the first storage space SS1 to the middle position in the front-to-back direction. More specifically, the storage tray 2100 has a width MBW at the middle position in the front-to-back direction, which is the maximum width in the left-to-right direction, and from the middle position in the front-to-back direction toward the front and rear, the width in the left-to-right direction gradually narrows until it becomes slightly narrower than the width ROW. Therefore, the side plate portion 231 of the storage tray 2100 is bent in a V-shape so that when the surface on which the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are provided is a proximity area PXA that is parallel to the first opposing wall 130 from the rearmost part in the depth direction to the middle position in the front-to-back direction. In addition, the bottom plate portion 221 of the storage tray 2100 is also bent in a V-shape at both ends in the left-to-right direction along the side plate portion 231. Furthermore, the width of both ends of the storage tray 2100 in the front-to-back direction is slightly narrower than the width ROW. Therefore, the user can select a fourth mounting state for the storage tray 2100. As shown in Figure 22, when the storage tray 2100 is mounted in the first storage space SS1, rattling in the lateral direction is suppressed by the proximity area PXA.

[0083] (Storage tray 2110) As shown in Figure 23, when the storage tray 2110 is installed in the first storage space SS1, a proximity area PXA is created at the rearmost part in the depth direction of the first storage space SS1 and at an intermediate position in the front-to-back direction. More specifically, the storage tray 2110 has a side plate portion 232 with a protrusion 300 at an intermediate position in the front-to-back direction, instead of the side plate portion 23 of the storage tray 20. The tray body of the storage tray 2110, like the storage tray 20, has edges at both ends in the front-to-back direction that are slightly narrower than the width ROW, so the user can select a fourth installation state for the tray 2110. As shown in Figure 23, when the storage tray 2110 is installed in the first storage space SS1, rattling in the lateral direction is suppressed by the proximity area PXA created at the rearmost part in the depth direction and the proximity area PXA created at the protrusion 300.

[0084] (Storage tray 2120) As shown in Figure 24, when the storage tray 2120 is installed in the first storage space SS1, a proximity area PXA is created from the rearmost part in the depth direction of the first storage space SS1 to the frontmost part. More specifically, the side plate portion 233 of the storage tray 2120 is linearly configured such that when the surface on which the first pair of protrusions 24 and the second pair of protrusions 25 are provided is parallel to the first opposing wall 130, a proximity area PXA is created. As a result, rattling in the left-right direction of the storage tray 2120 installed in the first storage space SS1 is suppressed. Here, as shown in Figure 24, the width of the front plate portion 211 of the storage tray 2120 is wider than the width ROW. Therefore, the user cannot select the fourth installation state for the storage tray 2120. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the degree of freedom in the mounting state within the storage space, storage trays 2100 and 2110 are preferable to storage tray 2120, as both of their widths in the front-to-back direction are slightly narrower than the width ROW.

[0085] [Modified view of the front panel of the tray body] Figure 25 is a schematic right side view of the storage tray 2200 having a lower front panel 212b. The storage tray 2200 has the same configuration as the storage tray 20, except that it has a lower front panel 212b. That is, the upper front panel 212a of the storage tray 2200 corresponds to the front panel 21 of the storage tray 20.

[0086] In the storage tray 2200, the front plate portion 212 and the bottom plate portion 22 are connected in a T-shape. When the storage tray 2200 is mounted in the first mounting pattern, the upper front plate portion 212a functions as a stopper for the stored item GOR, similar to the front plate portion 21 of the storage tray 20. When the storage tray 2200 is mounted in the third mounting pattern, the lower front plate portion 212b functions as a stopper for the stored item GOR. Here, in the storage tray 2200, the height of the lower front plate portion 212b as a stopper is set lower than the height of the upper front plate portion 212a as a stopper. Therefore, with the storage tray 2200, the user can change the height of the stopper by selecting between the first mounting pattern and the third mounting pattern. Furthermore, in the seventh mounting pattern of the storage tray 2200, it is possible to place the stored item GOR on the lower front plate portion 212b so that it leans against the bottom plate portion 22. In other words, with the storage tray 2200, the user can select from the first to seventh mounting patterns. Therefore, the upper cabinet 10 equipped with the storage tray 2200 has improved usability of the storage space.

[0087] [Modified example of a tray body having a facing plate] Figure 26 is a schematic right side view of the storage tray 2300 having a facing plate portion 26. The storage tray 2300 has the same configuration as the storage tray 20, except that it has a facing plate portion 26. The facing plate portion 26 functions as a fall prevention device for the stored item GOR when the storage tray 2300 is mounted in the sixth mounting pattern. The height of the facing plate portion 26 as a fall prevention device is configured to be lower than the height of the front plate portion 21 as a fall prevention device. Therefore, with the storage tray 2300, the user can change the height of the fall prevention device by selecting between the first mounting pattern and the sixth mounting pattern. Furthermore, with the storage tray 2300, in the eighth mounting pattern, the stored item GOR can be stored in the space surrounded by the bottom plate portion 22, the facing plate portion 26, and the wall surface of the first storage space. In other words, with the storage tray 2300, the user can select the first to sixth and eighth mounting patterns as mounting patterns. Therefore, the upper cabinet 10 equipped with the storage tray 2300 offers improved usability of the storage space.

[0088] [Other variations] In this embodiment, a storage tray for a bathroom vanity cabinet has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
